Chapter 72： Diagonal Lane and Broken Cauldron

In this way, two weeks before the summer vacation, Ai Wen and Harry lived in the Leaky Cauldron.

Compared to Harry's excitement, Ai Wen has more things to do.

In the next few days, he will visit almost all the magic stores in Diagonal Lane. He persuaded merchants to advertise in their own newspapers, thanks to the increasing sales of the Hogwarts Magic, many merchants are willing to do so, and the advertising costs paid are much higher than the original.

This gave Ai Wen a lot of savings, he bought a lot of things for himself, such as pharmaceutical materials far more than the normal small wizard use.

When preparing the compound decoction in the last semester, he recorded the potion formula on the book "Powerful Pharmacy". There are many practical potions in it, which is very helpful for improving combat ability. If you want to buy finished products, you need a lot of Jin Jialong, far less cost-effective than your own.

In addition, he also bought a wonderful model of the active constellation.

With it, you don't have to go to astronomy classes anymore. Ai Wen is fed up every Wednesday night to go to the towering astronomical tower, especially considering that he has a strong fear of heights, which is even worse.

Next, he went with Harry to buy something on the school list.

They first went to the Mojin Lady's robes store to buy a new robe. Two people just came out of the store and saw a group of people huddled in front of a shop.

They curiously scraped together, and Avon noticed that it was a Quidditch boutique, with a beautifully crafted broom in the shop window.

"Fire Arrow, which represents the highest level of craftsmanship in the current broom! The 帚 is made of ash tree wood, streamlined, exquisite, treated with hard as a diamond polish, and has a hand-engraved registration number... ..."

Ai Wen just had a glance and didn't have an interest, but Harry, who was next to him, almost put his face on the glass window.

"Let's go, Harry! You already have a good broom, there is no need to buy one." Ai Wen thought that his parents gave him a Christmas present last year, a light wheel 2001, it seems to have received it. Has been thrown under the bed of the school.

"But this is the fire arrow, the fastest flying broom in the world."

"It's also the most expensive!"

Harry nodded in agreement. He looked at the label and said that the price was negotiable. He didn't want to think about how much the fire arrow was worth. One thing is certain, it must not be the price that he can afford.

Ai Wen took a lot of effort to pull Harry away, otherwise he would be able to stand here for a whole day, so staring at a flying broom.

After leaving the Quidditch store, they went to the Ritz Bookstore to buy a new textbook.

Aiwen needs to buy a new Black Magic Defence book, and Harry has added two new courses, Protecting Magical Creatures and Divination.

However, they were shocked when they first entered the Liquor Bookstore. The bookstore was in a mess. The original spellbooks were not seen. Instead, there were several large iron cages. There were probably more than two hundred "monsters." Monster book.

These books are closed together, and they furiously compete in a fierce battle. They are fiercely biting and fighting, and the broken pages are flying everywhere.

"Is Hogwarts? Is it to buy a new book?" The manager greeted him impatiently. When he saw Ai Wen, his face was only a smile. "Oh, it turned out to be you, Mr. Mason, what books do you need to buy?"

In just one year, Aiwen bought more than 200 magic books at the Liquor Bookstore, which made him almost the most popular customer of the Liquor Bookstore.

"Amount, what are these books?" Ai Wen pointed to the iron cage.

"Don't mention, these "Monsters of Monsters" are the worst books I've ever seen in my life, and they're worse than the invisible book of Invisibility, which is so troublesome. It's hard to imagine. I have been bitten five times this morning."

His voice just fell, and there was a loud tearing sound in the cage. The two "Monsters of the Monsters" grabbed the third one and joined forces to tear it apart.

"No! Stop, stop!" The manager stretched his cane between the iron bars and opened the books. He shouted. "I don't store these books anymore, never! It's a nightmare." If I let me know which idiot has designated this book as a textbook, I must kill him."

Hearing his words, Harry hurriedly turned his head.

Hagrid gave him a "Monster's Monster Book" a few days ago, which gave him a strange sense of uneasiness. Intuition told Harry that Hagrid must designate these books as textbooks. Except for Hagrid, no professor likes a biting book.

"It’s actually very easy to deal with these books." Ai Wen saw that the other person was so pitiful and decided to tell him the trick. He said softly, "You just calm down the spine and they will be quiet!"

"What?!" The manager is awkward.

Evan gestured to the other person to take out a "Monster's Monster Book" from the cage. The book struggled to bite, but Evan's index finger slipped from top to bottom on the spine, and the book shook, then Opened, lying quietly on his hand.

"God, Mr. Mason, incredible!" the manager exclaimed. "You have helped me a lot!"

He directed several clerk to take out the "Monsters of the Monsters" in turn, and calmed them down according to Ai Wen's method, and immediately tied them with a rope.

"Bundle them, this is the right way to handle these books!" the manager gasped.

He and Harry received the lowest discount because of Irving's advice.

Ai Wen took a few books very rudely. He thought about it and took one of the textbooks of the third grade.

The second-grade curriculum is exactly the same as the first grade. Most of the content, Ivan has already completed self-study. Going to class was a waste of time. He decided to listen to the new classes in the third grade. At the end of the last semester, Professor McGonagall agreed to his request.

Harry bought "Intermediate Deformation" and "Standard Mantra, Level 3", and a Cassandra Wulabrowski's "Put the Fog to See the Future", which is the introductory textbook for divination. It has a strong guiding role in reading palms, crystal balls, and bird internal organs.

But Harry didn't look at his new book. His gaze fell on another book, a "Death of Death" on a small table, written in red letters: When you know the worst. What should you do when the event is coming?

"Oh, if I am you, I don't want to read such a book." The store clerk saw Harry's gaze falling on the book and said easily, "If you read this book, you will see signs of death." Everywhere, this book will scare people."

But Harry still stared at the cover of the book: there was a dog on the cover, almost as big as a bear, and with two eyes shining. This dog looks surprisingly familiar...

Harry pulled Lavin and motioned to see the cover.

Ai Wen glanced at it. This black dog, which represents the sign of death, and Sirius Black are a bit like it. No wonder Harry feels uneasy.

"Ivan, you said that night was..."

"Don't think about it, it's just a stray dog!" Avon thought he was chased by several people across several streets. He added his teeth and added, "Yes, a very annoying stray dog."
