The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 70 New Year's Diagon Alley

When the time came to the last Wednesday of the holiday, the Grangers drove Ryan and their daughter to Diagon Alley for shopping.Because Ryan's mother had to go to work, and his father claimed that he had a brilliant idea to quickly open a new book to release Ryan's pigeons easily.

After Ryan arrived in this world, he discovered that although the general historical trend of this world is not much different from his original world, there are still changes in many small places.For example, many original world-famous literary works have become similar works by other authors in this world, and some have never appeared before.

It's just that Ryan couldn't remember the specific content of the books he had read, and he didn't have time to be a copywriter.So during the family chat, Ryan told his father, Mr. Lambert, some of the works he remembered that had never appeared in this world as brain holes.

Perhaps stimulated by these brain holes and the fact that there is magic in this world, Mr. Lambert decided to change his writing style and write a magical epic this time.So Mr. Lambert, who wrote the article in retreat, gave Ryan to the Grangers and asked them to take Ryan to go shopping.

According to Ryan's point of view, Hermione's parents are standard cultural people, gentle and elegant.In particular, Mr. Granger is actually a fan of Papa Lane's books, which made a lot of common topics in the car along the way.

When they arrived at Diagon Alley, Ryan and Hermione decided to go to Gringotts to exchange currency first. As soon as they stepped on the white marble steps of Gringotts, they saw Hagrid walking over with Harry.

"Hey, this way, Harry." Harry looked up and saw Ryan and Hermione standing on the white steps of Gringotts
Ryan greeted Harry as he and Hermione walked down the steps to meet Harry.

"Did you go camping and get so dirty? Hagrid... oh, it's good to see you two again... are you going to Gringotts now, Harry?"

"I'll go as soon as I find the Weasleys," said Harry.

"You won't have to look for long." Hagrid laughed.

Soon the Weasleys show up here, with the twins and Ron expressing their envy for Harry's adventures in Knockturn Alley.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Weasleys and Harry to exchange pleasantries, Ryan handed Fred a small pocket.

"What are you doing Ryan?" Ron asked after seeing their deal.

"You know I went to Iceland during the summer vacation, and your brothers asked me to bring them some local specialties." Ryan replied.

As they walked up the Gringotts steps together, Harry told them that he had met the Malfoys at the Dark Shop.Mr. Weasley, who followed behind, felt that he should seize evidence of the Malfoy family's dark magic.Then he argued with Mrs. Weasley, who advised him to put safety first.

Mr. Weasley's attention was soon diverted, and he greeted Mr. and Mrs. Granger standing in the hall.It seems that Mr. Weasley is indeed a good man who is very enthusiastic about Muggles, but the Grangers are a bit uncomfortable with this enthusiasm.

Then the two sides bid farewell temporarily, the Weasleys and Harry were going to the underground vault to withdraw money, while Ryan and Hermione exchanged currency at the hall.

"The quota for everyone this year is 250 Galleons, because the textbook fee for Hogwarts has increased again this year." The goblin said to them impatiently, and it is likely that he said this sentence many times this morning.

When Harry and the others came out, everyone made an appointment for an hour to gather at Lihen Bookstore.Then it was time for free shopping.

Ryan and the others strolled on the cobbled streets, browsed the dazzling array of goods on the street, and ate a large piece of nut cream ice cream by the way.They saw the Weasley twins and Lee Jordan buying a lot of fireworks.Afterwards, Hermione dragged her to buy parchment and ink.

As usual, Ryan would go to the thrift store to look for any useful old books. Hermione was also eager to try this kind of shopping after seeing Ryan's 1893 edition of "Making a Hundred Common Potions".

It's a pity that Harry and Ron were not interested in this, so they broke up with Ryan and went to the Quidditch boutique.

"Knowledge is so useful, but why do they find the barbaric sport of flying around on a broomstick more interesting?" Hermione said a little puzzled.

"You have to know, they all have a family heritage of this sport. Besides, it's only a small group of people who read books for fun." Ryan turned to Hermione and said to Hermione while pushing open the store door.

Upon entering, they found Percy Weasley engrossed in a very dull book: How Prefects Got Their Power.Ryan looked at the page after it was opened, which listed the occupations that the prefects pursued after leaving school.

Seeing Ryan staring at his book curiously, Percy closed the book a little embarrassedly and greeted Ryan.In fact, Percy and Ryan had a good relationship with Hermione, especially when they organized group homework, Percy provided a lot of help.

"The content of this book is too crude." Ryan said with some disdain.But think about it, the magic world is so big, there is no need to have such sophisticated political skills.

"I think it's well written, why do you think it's crude?" Percy asked curiously.It can be seen from his expression that he feels that Ryan doesn't understand at all at this age, and he should be just talking nonsense.

"I recommend you to read the Zizhi Tongjian of the Chinese Dynasty. This is a book written by a prime minister of the Chinese Dynasty to the emperor more than 1000 years ago. The cases in it are much higher than those in this book. I remember someone translated this book into English too."

Percy was really interested, and even asked Ryan to write the title of the book in Chinese, and said that he might go to Chinatown to look for the book.

After sending Percy away who was a little excited, Ryan and Hermione began to rummage through the pile of old books. Most of the owners just scribbled on the old books, and there was even a book that might have been soaked in some kind of potion and gave off an unpleasant smell.

It may be that novices are generally lucky. In the end, Hermione found a useful book, which was a Ravenclaw student's Charms class notes. She thought there was some knowledge in it that was very useful.

When checking out, Hermione said to Ryan: "I used to think that these second-hand books are provided to people with financial problems. There is no advantage other than being cheap. Thanks to you for telling me that there are still leftovers left by the predecessors. Invaluable knowledge."

Ryan smiled, sometimes there are precious things hidden in the second-hand goods.This is the experience he gained when he bought second-hand goods in Xianyu in his previous life. For Hermione, a girl from a good family who never needs to buy second-hand goods for economic reasons, it is a very fresh theory.Especially when she pulled out gold from a lot of garbage, the joy of harvest was absolutely never experienced.

After paying the bill and going out, Ryan took out his pocket watch and found that the appointed time was approaching, so he hurried to Lihen Bookstore with Hermione.
