No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

"Yes, you are really smart." Hermione suddenly realized, and then looked envious, "Um, can you copy the notes for me?"

"Of course." Hermione would not send any books, mainly because she only had three sets of books at home, and she could only decide on these three sets. One set for herself, one for Harry, and one for Ron, and that was it. As for the books at Malfoy's house, she only took notes, but didn't dare to touch them. They were well collected and even used cowhide as covers, so how could she dare to decide on behalf of Draco.

"I can give you a set. I have one at home." Draco said casually. He didn't think it was a big deal.

"You're using an old one too?" Ron looked at Draco, who was stupid and rich, and couldn't believe it.

"If the textbooks haven't been revised for a hundred years, you'd be a fool to use new ones!" Draco glanced at Ron. He was the same as him. It was true that he and Ron were born incompatible.

"What? You haven't revised your textbooks in a hundred years?" Hermione opened her mouth wide. This completely shattered the academic bully's worldview.

Ou Mengmeng nodded. When she saw her grandfather's textbooks, she also felt that her worldview was shattered. When she saw Drake's textbooks, she had no worldview at all. But she still clapped her hands, "Okay, let's talk about what you want to buy. Don't waste time."

Some things should be complained by yourself. It seems right to say this to the Weasley family. They are all die-hard fans of Dumbledore. I feel that it has a bad influence. Turning to Hermione, he put the book on the counter and took them to the side so as not to affect the business of the store.

"Go buy a wand first. Usually it costs seven to eleven gold Galleons, and one gold Galleon is five pounds, which is fifty pounds. You can borrow Draco's textbooks for free. The Hogwarts school uniform is a robe, a shirt, and a wool vest. Girls wear Scottish kilts, and boys wear black trousers. I personally suggest that you can customize three sets of robes and a winter cloak for two hundred pounds. For the rest, I'll send you the styles. You can buy ready-made clothes in Muggle malls. Harry bought them that way, and the price will be a little cheaper. I suggest that you customize leather shoes here. They will be much more comfortable than buying them outside, and the price is not expensive."

Ou Mengmeng took a pen and paper, and wrote as she spoke. Seeing Hermione nod, she wrote down Hermione's size and requirements, folded a small plane, and flew to Madam Malkin's robe shop. Ou Mengmeng finished, and once again felt that studying at Hogwarts was really expensive. No wonder the Weasley family was so poor. It would be strange if they were not poor to support seven children to study.

"What is this?" Hermione was stunned. A paper airplane? What kind of operation was this?
"Similar to your cell phones, we have instant messaging here. For short-distance messaging, we can use paper airplanes. It's not as convenient as a phone, but the magic world prohibits electronic devices, which is really inconvenient." Ou Mengmeng thought that if she wanted to find someone, she could use an owl. The most convenient thing was a two-sided mirror, which was a bit like a video call, but one mirror for one person. Fortunately, this thing is very expensive and the method of making it has been lost. Few people can afford it now. Otherwise, you have to bring a bag of mirrors when you go out. It's scary to think about it.

But never mind, she came here from the Red Mansion and China in the 1960s, so it's very convenient here, so she's not picky.

"Yes, it's terrible." Draco also had a painful look on his face. He was used to using the phone in the Muggle world. Every time he returned to the wizarding world, he really felt like he was back in the Middle Ages. It was really urgent, so he could only ask Dobby to apparate with him.

In 1982, Europe established GSM (Groupe Speciale Mobile) and in 87, commercial mobile phones were available. Now (in 91), mobile phones weigh only 270 grams.

Aristocrats like the Malfoy family already have this kind of fashionable stuff, which they put in their Muggle residence in London. They all know that with the convenience of the Muggle world, the Lucius couple spend most of the year in the Muggle house. With the invisible house elves, their lives are more comfortable than in the wizarding world. Harry then remembered that, yes, the lights here are still magic oil lamps. Do you need to use a feather pen to write? With their ink bottle, he also wanted to look up at the sky. Even if you can use a wand to turn on and off the lights, but that, forget it, it's all tears! However, I don't know if you can use a Muggle fountain pen.

"What's the phone call?" It was Ron who asked the question. Of course, Percy and Ginny also looked at them with wide eyes. Obviously, they didn't know either.

Among them, only the Weasley family represented the pure wizarding world and had no idea about the Muggle world. When Ou Mengmeng took Neville and little Draco to Muggle primary school, old Foster asked Ou Mengmeng why she didn't take Ron.

Ou Mengmeng was also stunned at the time. Yes, why not? She had never thought of taking him. Waiting for her grandfather to ask, she thought about it and said that Neville must go because he needs professional correction. As for Draco, he can go or not. It's not her turn to take him. As for the Weasleys, it's too far away, and Ron doesn't need to go to a Muggle school.

Old Foster laughed, with a look of understanding. Ou Mengmeng was a little embarrassed. This went against the original intention of an educator. Deep down, she didn't want to teach a student like Ron. Now it seems that what should be suffered will always be suffered. I didn't suffer it at the beginning, but I suffer it now.

"Oh, forget it. Next time we're on vacation, let's go to London." Ou Mengmeng sighed, patted Ron gently, and quickly turned to Hermione, "The cauldron and magic herbs are ten Galleons in total. I suggest you don't buy an owl for a pet. Harry and I both have one, so if you want to contact your family, you can use his or mine. Anything else?"

"Books. I like reading very much. In addition to textbooks, I also want to buy books about the wizarding world." Hermione's parents are dentists and their family is well-off, so the money just mentioned is actually nothing to Hermione's budget.

"Well, just choose here. To be honest, everything that Flourish and Blotts has is available here, and things that Flourish and Blotts doesn't have are also available here." Ou Mengmeng pointed to the second-hand bookstore. The main reason was that she felt that those books on the history of magic were really meaningless.

"Go pick your wand first, that's a waste of time." Draco said to Hermione hurriedly, "You can take your time picking out the books."

"Yes, it would be a waste of time to choose a wand," said Harry hurriedly. "Ron, have you chosen yet?"

"I have one." Ron took Charlie's old wand a little awkwardly.

"By the way, Ron, come and try. I'm learning to make wands with my grandfather. Can I make one for you and Ginny?" Ou Mengmeng hurriedly took out the big handful made by her grandfather and let Ron try.

"Well, you have so many?" Ron opened his mouth wide, and Percy beside him was also stunned. Is there anyone holding more than ten wands? Is this a wand or a stick? It seems that a wizard only uses one wand by default. (End of this chapter)
