Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 111 Consumption Consumption Reconsumption

360 Galleons, the price is actually not very high, if you go to Knockturn Alley, it is very likely to become 500 Galleons.

However, Ike had no intention of going to that smoky place.

Galleons are nice, but not necessary.

After leaving the Pig's Head Bar, Ike turned directly into another alley, hid himself with the Disillusionment Charm, then put a Levitation Charm on himself, and jumped out of the wall with his feet.

After jumping three blocks in a row, Ike stopped.

First he lifted the cover-up magic on his face, and then looked around, then he lifted the Illusion Curse on his body, and quietly blended into the crowd on the avenue outside.

Looking at the time, Stuart and the others should still be inside Honeydukes, and Ike has no plans to go find them.After a little recognition of the direction, I went straight to the Devis and Bans store.

As a store that sells magic items, the flow of people in the Devis and Bans store is less than that of Honeydukes and Zonko's Joke Store, but it is not much less. There are three or five little wizards staying next to each shelf.

Pushing open the door, the doorbell rang pleasantly, and the clerk at the cash register just looked up.Ike walked over from shelf to shelf, and slowly looked at the magic items sold on it.

In fact, this is the first time Ike has seen so many magic items, even in Diagon Alley, there are not as many types as here.

Pick up a memory ball casually, this is his goal, hold it first, and then check out after all the transfers are completed.

It is not enough to study alchemy like a car behind closed doors, even if there are alchemy books such as "Hermes Document" as a reference.This knowledge not only requires strong hands-on ability, but also rich imagination.

To be honest, Ike felt that both of them were not lacking, but he still felt powerless when making alchemy items, as if there were countless inspirations in his mind, but after he really got started, he realized that they were all inappropriate. actual conjecture.

On the one hand, it is a gap in the inheritance of alchemy. The powerful and mysterious ancient alchemy has passed through the turmoil of the Middle Ages, and not many have been handed down; on the other hand, there is no teacher to guide Ike.

Speaking of which, Ike also wanted to go to Devonshire to look for Nicole Flamel, and he didn't believe that the old man would really go to death calmly.But if no one recommended him, even if he knew that Nicole Flamel lived in seclusion in Devon, Ike would not be sure to find him.

Countless people have tried to find the reclusive Nick Flamel over the centuries, but none of them have succeeded, and Ike doesn't think he will succeed easily.

As for asking Dumbledore for help, forget it, Ike doesn't want Dumbledore to get a terrible favor again.

With neither of these two paths going, Ike could only think of a way as much as possible.Subscribing to alchemy magazines and collecting alchemy literature can all be done on campus, but research on mature alchemy items requires going outside the campus.

Although the magic items in the Devis and Bans stores are just simple mass-produced gadgets, they can also provide Ike with enough ideas.

Seeing the big from the small, and then analyzing and solving problems, Ike is still very proficient in this method.

After picking out another crystal ball that changes color according to one's mood, and a pair of headphones that are said to be able to hear sounds that cannot be heard normally, Ike left the Devis and Bans store.

Ike chose Wenrenju Quill Pen Shop for the next stop. His quill pens always wear out quickly, so he simply bought a whole box of ten quill pens, which was almost enough.

There is a magic quill like Rita Skeeter's, which is very expensive, but Ike didn't even look at it.

This thing is actually not complicated, and it can be easily made at Ike's current level.

Cost...about two cockroach piles?

Before I knew it, it was noon, and Ike was walking towards the Three Broomsticks with a paper bag in his hand.This is an appointment with Stuart and others, where they will enjoy a meal that is different from Hogwarts.

After waiting at the door for a while, I saw Stuart and the others walking over with big bags, talking and laughing.

"Here, this is what you want." Terry handed over a bag with some disgust. Ike took it with a smile and squeezed out a pile of cockroaches and threw it into his mouth. The smile on the face once again made Stuart and others uncomfortable even after watching it for more than two years.

"Okay, okay, don't show such an expression here!" Stuart bumped Ike with his shoulder, and slammed him into the bar door, "Let's go to eat quickly, and we will go to Zuko's joke shop later!"

"So you've been at Honeydukes this morning?"

"Of course! You don't know, there are so many kinds of candy in it, we all..."

A few people walked in the door while talking, the business of the bar was better than what they expected, and they had to wait for a while to find a seat.

Almost all the students who came to Hogsmeade today, as well as the professors who had a rare break, Ike saw Professor Flitwick and Professor Snape sitting together, with a cup filled with butter in front of each of them beer.

This combination obviously exceeded everyone's expectations, and everyone turned their heads to take a look from time to time, even when eating.

The Three Broomsticks Bar didn't offer many types of meals. Ike ordered a beef risotto and a small piece of fried pork chop, plus a glass of iced lemon tea. The others were similar, either risotto or burgers.

I would like a butterbeer instead, the bar owner, Ms. Rosmerta, would not sell this drink to a third-year wizard.

Of course, if the professors weren't there, maybe...

After eating, he sat in the bar for a while before getting up to leave.This time, the four of Ike and Stuart went to Zuko's joke shop together, and they really had a good time.

As the most popular store in Hogsmeade, Zoko's Joke Shop naturally has its reasons for its success.There are more prank props in it than in Diagon Alley's jumping, frolic, magic joke shop, and a large part of them are researched by myself, among which the strange effects are eye-opening for Ike.

From a certain point of view, these prank props can also be regarded as alchemy items, and some props have quite high technical content.Ike also spent a lot and bought seven or eight gadgets. When he has time to crack it later, it can be regarded as a new way.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, several people left Zuko's joke shop and prepared to go back to school.Although it was only a few hours, it was really fun.

They didn't choose a carriage, and the five of them walked back together talking and laughing. It was a rare trip, and everyone wanted to stay outside for a while.Along the way, there were many other people who were also walking, obviously having the same idea.

After walking for about half an hour, the gate of Hogwarts appeared in front of everyone's eyes, but what was more obvious was the dementors hovering around the gate.

"Damn! Why did these guys appear here!" Terry said angrily, "It's not there in the morning!"

"Obviously, it's for Sirius." Stuart's tone was not very good, "They are afraid that Sirius will sneak in when we go back!"

"It's useless at all. Back then, Sirius could escape from Azkaban, and there were far more dementors there than here!"

"Okay, don't discuss these." Ike said, "Don't be affected by these."

"That's right, that's right, don't say it, don't say it..."

Several people poohed a few times again and again, as if they wanted to pooh out their bad luck.At this time, the role of Stewart is reflected, and the atmosphere will be over with just a few words.

Talking and laughing as they walked through the gate, the dementors were visibly agitated, and this happy mood was extremely attractive to them.However, it was just restlessness, and there was no sudden attack, which disappointed Ike who was secretly preparing.

He still wants to take the opportunity to study this thing again, so it seems that he has to find another opportunity.

　Happy Friday everyone!
