Hogwarts Crawler

Half an hour passed in Ollivander's Wand Shop...

Adam waved the wand mechanically, because the requirement was that both hands could be used, and he would switch to the other hand when one hand got sore.

He was numb to the explosions that kept ringing in his ears, which would cause various serious effects eight out of ten times. He remembered that once a bunch of flowers bloomed on the top of the wand, and he thought it was right this time, but Ollivander said it was still wrong.

Until a wand came into Adam's hands, Adam felt that this wand was different from the previous ones as soon as he got it.

As Adam waved the wand, the surrounding wand boxes trembled and floated up one by one, each returning to their place, and Adam also felt a completely different sense of pleasure from before, as if his body had been extended by an extra section.

"That's right! This is it!"

Olivander clapped his hands:

"Sixteen inches, acacia wood, phoenix tail feathers - I knew it!"

You know the devil!

Adam almost uttered sweet words, but his good moral cultivation made him shut up and just rolled his eyes impolitely.

He seriously suspected that Ollivander actually made every combination to choose a wand, and then exhaustively enumerated them!

"Ahem... this wand's combination is very special, so it takes so long."

Olivander may have realized that the half-hour wand selection just now was a bit of a rip-off, but he still struggled to explain:

"Acacia wood and phoenix tail feathers are very picky, not to mention the sixteen-inch length - the last sixteen-inch wand I sold belonged to a half-blood giant!"

Although Adam suspected that Ollivander was just quibbling, the joy of picking his own wand still made him suppress the depression of waiting for half an hour and being almost affected by explosions and lightning several times, and carefully looked at the wand in his hand.

The cylindrical dark brown wand is slender and straight, engraved with smooth curves and runes, and the handle is a spindle surrounded by various symbols. Adam looked at the bottom of the handle... There is actually a yellow gem inlaid? !

"That gem is a yellow tourmaline I bought from a wizard from the East. It fits the overall magic power of the wand very well... No extra charge!"

Olivander spoke at the right time.

Well, for the sake of this gem, Adam's resentment dissipated a lot.

It's really beautiful.

After looking at the wand again and again, Adam couldn't help but say in his heart.

Sixteen-inch wands are super long among wands, but Adam's Dark Wand is a head taller than others. In comparison, this wand is already small, and Adam even thinks it's a little cute.

After paying the bill and buying the most important and most uncertain wand, Old Reed took Adam into the shopping mode.

Owls, snacks, crucibles, snacks, potion materials, snacks, school uniforms, snacks, books,...

Not to mention the various snacks at a stall every few steps, Adam lingered in Flourish and Blotts for a long time.

He did not forget that the growth of magic power is closely related to knowledge, so he also wanted to buy many books that Hogwarts did not require. In addition, he was curious about the things in the wizarding world, especially the parts that did not appear in the original book and the movie.

So Adam signed a two-foot-long parchment order. These books will be sent to Hogwarts. Grandpa said that the house elves there will take care of it.

"That's a flying broom. First-year freshmen are not allowed to bring flying brooms."

After that, Old Reed hesitated:

"But if you want, we can also buy one and keep it at home."

"No, Grandpa, I'm not very interested in flying brooms."

Adam declined this proposal that should have been very tempting for a child.

"Do you think the Nimbus 2000 is expensive? Grandpa and grandma are actually very rich."

"Mom and Dad gave me a lot of money, Grandpa."

The Nimbus 2000 is indeed expensive, but Mr. Reed and Ms. Li originally planned to send Adam to Eton College - the tuition fee of Eton College is more than 40,000 pounds a year, for a total of five years, and both of them had reserved this large amount of tuition fees. As a result, Adam suddenly wanted to go to Hogwarts, which does not require tuition fees - Ms. Li waved her hand and directly handed the original tuition fees to Adam.

"Boys can't be raised in poverty, otherwise they will live a stingy life, how can they broaden their horizons? Not to mention that they are in an unfamiliar environment."

"I just think that since I can't take it to Hogwarts now, it's not worth buying it right away - maybe they will have a new model next year?"

In fact, there will be a Nimbus 2001 next year, and a year later there will be a Firebolt... The more I think about this thing, the more it is similar to a certain Apple mobile phone.And if Adam wants to fly, there is a Flying Card in the Clow Cards. If the Dark Staff grows wings, it will become a flying broom. If he grows wings himself, he can fly directly. Why spend so much money to buy a flying broom that will be surpassed by better products in a year?

A rich second-generation said it well: I am rich but not stupid.

From one end of Diagon Alley to the other, Emma was picked up at the Tofan Clothing Store. Grandma took Adam to buy this end from the other end, and grandma's main consumption target was obviously different from grandpa's.

"Alan! Are you planning to let your precious grandson wear only one set of school uniform for a whole semester at Hogwarts?"

"Daily clothes, pajamas... Buy a few more dresses... Doesn't Hogwarts have a dance? I can't imagine it... No, I still have to buy it, just in case it can be used?"

"The wand needs to be cared for, otherwise what if it breaks down when casting a spell? Buy a few more sets of care tools, don't save money on this."

"You need to prepare a few more pairs of dragon leather gloves. Some potion materials are best handled with separate dragon leather gloves. In addition, if your classmates forget to bring them, you can lend them to them to build a good relationship with them."

"Prepare more potion materials, and buy some white fresh essence. Carry a bottle with you. If there is a wound, you can treat it directly... The nurses in the medical wing can't fly directly to Adam. Shut up, Alan!"

...

After buying two rounds of food in Diagon Alley and using snacks as lunch, Emma looked at the packages in the hands of the two people, and then looked at Old Reed:

"Alan, you take these things back first, Adam and I will go shopping again."

Old Reed picked up the packages of the two people with difficulty. There was a huge birdcage on the top of the package - there was a snowy owl inside.

"Okay, you guys have fun, will you come back for dinner tonight?"

"Not necessarily."

Emma answered quickly, and it was obvious that she would not go back for dinner.

"Uh, okay."

Old Reed nodded and walked away with the salute.

"Why didn't Grandpa use magic to carry the luggage?"

Emma looked at Adam in surprise:

"Magic is something that requires concentration. It is easy to get into trouble when casting a spell while doing other things. Don't do this in the future."

"Is that so?"

Adam nodded thoughtfully.

Is it possible that Grandpa is too weak?

After lunch, Emma wiped her mouth and took Adam to a corner where no one was around.

"Grandma?" Why are you so mysterious...

"Hold my hand tightly."

Adam held it tightly as he was told. The next moment, he felt like he was in a narrow pipe-like slide. After a period of squeezing, his body finally got out of the pipe and came to a meadow.

"Uh--"

Adam's face turned pale and he felt nauseous.

"Just now, it was Apparition, which can make people quickly move from one place to another. It's not easy to get used to it for the first time. Take a few deep breaths."

Emma stroked Adam's back, then leaned over and whispered something in Adam's ear. Adam realized that it seemed to be a string of addresses.

The next moment, in Adam's surprised eyes, a crack seemed to appear on the grass in front of him, and a small house with a garden squeezed out of thin air from the crack.

"This is an extremely powerful protective magic. Don't rush to ask questions. Come with me."

Emma took Adam to the door of the small house and knocked gently.
