He swallowed a large gulp of Gordig root tea and shuddered. His eyes under the dark circles were bright and gleaming with pride.

"Mr. Lovegood, you should pay more attention to rest..." Weizet was a little helpless, "After all, the days ahead are still so long, don't tire yourself out."

"You don't have to say that?" Xenophilius raised his eyebrows, "Your troll story is quite good! Luna also liked it!"

"She also helped draw a lot of illustrations...I will try to finalize the first edition of the storybook before Christmas, and it will be her Christmas gift then!"

"A Christmas present for Luna?" Wizette murmured. "Mr. Lovegood, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Of course!" Xenophilius waved his hand, "You have gone home anyway, why not take her out to play tomorrow, so I can start working during the day!"

"This will make it more efficient! Anyway, the floo network is now set up... It would be a big loss if we don't use it! There are maintenance fees every month!"

As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked at the floor, as if he wanted to see the fireplace below through the floor, with a pained expression on his face.

Weizet couldn't help laughing and said: "Then I will take her out for a walk tomorrow."

"Take this..." Xenophilius took out a cloth bag from the drawer, which made a jingling sound.

"There are forty-two gold galleons, four silver skos and sixteen copper naits in it. You can use this money to buy some things for Christmas."

"Remember to buy Luna a Christmas gift... give it to her in your name; don't get caught when you buy the gift, give her a surprise!"

"You don't have to pay me back the rest of the money... buy yourself a Christmas gift, or use it as pocket money for next semester, that's fine."

Seeing him wearing a robe with holes and shrinking his hands and feet to make plans, Weizet felt both amused and moved.

In fact, he didn't need to worry about gifts. The Christmas gift for Luna had been prepared when Vizette received Grindelwald's notes.

However, Weizet understood that the money was a heartfelt gift, so he kept it, "Mr. Lovegood, I will make good use of them!"

Xenophilius reassured: "Okay! Go and rest!"

"Mr. Lovegood, you should go to bed early, good night!"

Not only have there been no signs of snow in the past few days, there are even no clouds in the clear sky. When helping Luna to fertilize, the lining will be soaked with sweat.

"Maybe it will snow in two days." Luna said softly, "They are preparing!"

"I think so too." Weizet nodded, "Why don't we go to London first? The Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley. You will be enrolling in school next year too."

When he returned to his room last night, he spent some time planning and finalized today's list and itinerary.

"We still need to buy new clothes. You can help Mr. Lovegood pick out some. His robe has holes."

"Okay!" Luna nodded. Her eyebrows were as curved as crescent moons, which was very beautiful.

Floo network is indeed a good way to travel, but in the blink of an eye, the two of them walked out of the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron.

"Merry Christmas, Mr. Tom!"

Vizette nodded not far away and led Luna to the small patio behind the bar.

"Ah! Merry Christmas!" The bald old Tom put down his wine glass and pursed his dry lips into a smile. "It's been so long. Are you here to buy something?"

"Yes."

Wizette simply responded, picked up his wand and tapped on the wall.

Watching Weizet and Luna leave, Old Tom wiped the wine glass again.

"It's great to be young!"

Chapter 86 Ollivander is attacked

The warm morning sun slanted onto the street, but it could not warm the desertedness of Diagon Alley;

Many shops have closed their doors and have written on their notice boards: Open after the Christmas holidays.

But they had hung up all the Christmas decorations, and the bells swayed gently in the wind, making tinkling sounds.

"Many people have gone home for Christmas." Luna said, clasping her hands behind her back and jumping up and down on the cobblestone floor.

Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore is still open for business, with a stand set up in the most conspicuous location filled with all kinds of magical greeting cards.

Some of them will make the sound of bells, some will scatter snowflakes after opening, and some will send a Christmas blessing...

Weizet and Luna walked into the bookstore, picked up a copy of "Why Didn't I Die When the Oracle Wailed", and read it together.

"Vizet! Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas, Mr. Bagshot!"

Clothar Bagshot, the owner of Flourish and Blott Bookstore, came to the two of them and said, "Have you forgotten the seat I left for you upstairs? Come up and sit down!"

Luna was very interested in the content of the book, so Wizette naturally had no reason to refuse.

The second floor has been renovated, and the table furnishings are more stylish, making it look like an elegant salon.

Even when the Christmas holiday comes, there are still wizards gathering here to talk and express their thoughts.

Bagshot brought a tea set and a few desserts, "This is..."

Vizette introduced naturally: "My sister, Luna."

Luna made a soft voice as if she was dreaming, "Hello, Mr. Bagshot, nice to meet you."

She looked around and said slowly: "My father told me that the bookstore is like a portal to a higher dimension. I think... ghosts should also like to stay here."

Following her own feelings has always been her advantage.

Vizet was very familiar with this, nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "The ghosts in Hogwarts are very knowledgeable, like that Lady Grey."

"Mr. Bagshot, Lady Grey is the ghost of Ravenclaw. When we encounter difficulties, she will be happy to help us solve the problem."

"Hmm..." Bagshot tried to understand the conversation between the two, "Vizet, do you think... I can let ghosts settle here?"

"That's also a very magical attempt." Vizet looked at Luna, and the two smiled at each other.

Vizet continued, "Bookstores are places where knowledge gathers. Books can provide knowledge, and I think... ghosts can do the same."

"Oh!" Bagshot understood what the two meant, "Add characteristics! After all, there are so many ghosts in Hogwarts, maybe we can create an atmosphere unique to the school."

"Maybe we can try a theme every month?" Vizet recalled his past life and thought of a model, "After all, it's the starting stage now, and we can find a wider audience."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Bagshot nodded repeatedly, his eyes lit up, "Freshness is also important, so that they can keep their attention on the bookstore..."

Vizet chatted with Bagshot for a while, mainly as a listener, listening to Bagshot talk about his next plan.

Until Bagshot's mouth was dry, he shook his head gently and said, "Sorry, I got carried away. It must be boring, right?"

"Of course not." Vizet smiled slightly, "These prospects you mentioned are new to me. They are very fresh."

Basshot is a man of action. He left the bookstore while the iron was hot and planned to find someone to implement the plan.

Luna was immersed in the book and had no intention of leaving Flourish and Blotts for the time being.

Vizet said hello to Luna and walked out of the bookstore.

Many shops in Diagon Alley were closed, so if you wanted to buy related items, you could only go to ordinary shops.

For Vizet, the difference between the two was not that big, but you had to go to Gringotts to exchange currency.

As a bank managed by goblins, Gringotts did not have the habit of celebrating Christmas, but there were fewer wizards in the hall, and the business was handled faster than last time.

Regarding the exchange of gold galleons for pounds, Gringotts did not make any relevant restrictions, and Vizet's spending became much more flexible.

His second stop was the wand shop. He had studied the wand notes some time ago and had a few related questions to ask Ollivander.

To his surprise, there was not only Ollivander in the wand shop, but also Dumbledore.

"Vizet, you're here!" Ollivander's head was wrapped in bandages, and a strong herbal smell oozing out of it.

Those silver-white eyes seemed to have become much dimmer, revealing a bit of confusion.

Vizet asked quickly, "Mr. Ollivander, what happened to you?"

"I'm fine, just had a little accident." Ollivander waved his hand, "Albus just mentioned you, saying that you performed very well in school, I didn't expect you to come here."

"Yes, what a wonderful coincidence." Dumbledore gently pushed his half-moon glasses, "Are you here to buy something?"

"Yes." Vizet nodded, "I happened to be in Diagon Alley, so I thought of coming to visit Mr. Ollivander..."

Dumbledore continued, "You look very relaxed, which is a good thing."

"Because I'm home!" Vizet smiled, "Excuse me, what happened to Mr. Ollivander? "

"It's a rare thing. The wand shop was robbed." Dumbledore blinked, "But the criminal has been caught and will probably be sent to Azkaban."

Vizet looked at Ollivander worriedly, "Mr. Ollivander... is he seriously injured?"

"It's just a small problem!" Ollivander waved his hand, "It just needs gentle healing, so it seems a bit exaggerated."

"Gentle healing? I can..." Vizet subconsciously thought of the Purgatory Charm, and immediately changed his words, "I have a bandage made of unicorn hair here."

Snape's words to him gave him a lot of inspiration. He planned to hide the Purgatory Charm and try not to cast it in front of more people.

However, facing a respectable old man who was willing to use an "unbreakable oath" to protect the secret, he still hoped to do something.

"Bandage made of unicorn hair...?" Ollivander's voice suddenly became high-pitched, and the confusion in his eyes disappeared instantly.

He ran to Vizet quickly, "Can you show it to me?"
