Of course, the speed of the carriage is not as fast as the broomstick, but the broomstick is too small to carry people.
Seeing the exquisite flying carriage and the two strange beasts, many disciples of Longhu Mountain showed expressions of surprise.
Now is not the later Internet age, even the strangers in Longhushan Tianshi Mansion are just bumpkins.
Not to mention that the Hippogriff is a unique magical creature in the European magic world, even the old master has never seen it.
Looking up at the sky, Zhao Huanjin, who had a round belly, took a mouthful of saliva.
"Such a big bird, is it delicious?"
In the sky, the two hippogriffs suddenly felt a chill and landed quickly.
"Old Master."
After landing, Snape greeted the old master.
Zhang Zhiwei said to him very kindly.
"Have you eaten, young man? Do you want to try our Longhushan sesame seed cake?"
"Thank you Heavenly Master, I have already eaten."
Snape didn't look like he was good at exchanging pleasantries, so he directly talked about business.
"Is there anything else you want to say, Master Tian? I will take Mr. Xia Zhi to the hotel to rest first, and ask an elderly student to take him to buy things for the start of school the next day."
"Of course there are still some."
The old master stroked his beard and asked Snape.
"You wizarding world also use pounds?"
Snape shook his head slightly, explaining.
"We use gold Galleons, silver Sickles and copper Nats. 1 Galleon = 17 Sickles, 1 Sickle = 29 Nats."
"As a freshman, Mr. Xia Zhi can get an interest-free loan of [-] Galleons every academic year, which is enough for him to use at Hogwarts."
"Oh, that's right. An interest-free loan would be nice."
The old master nodded and asked again.
"Then what should I do if I want to exchange some of these Galleons for him?"
"The wizard's bank is called Gringotts, where gold or gems can be exchanged for Galleons."
As a master of Potions, Snape finally went abroad at public expense, and wanted to bring back other things besides the summer solstice.
"Actually, some herbs from China are so rare that I'm willing to pay a premium for them."
"That's easy to do."
The old heavenly master smiled slightly, and instructed his two disciples.
"Huanjin, Rongshan. You can go around the back mountain with Professor Snape."
The two nodded with a smile.
"okay!"
"Yes, Master!"
……
Because he accidentally took the medicine for too long, Snape directly stayed at Tianshi Mansion at night.
Many Longhushan disciples came to watch the Hippogriff, making them feel uneasy.
Then Xia Zhi appeared around the two strange beasts and silently glanced at them.
Immediately, the hippogriff's intuition of being a beast felt a strong threat!
They lay obediently on the spot, like quails, and were immediately frightened to the point of feces and urine, which made Snape feel ashamed.
The next day, Xia Zhi took more than 500 Galleons given by Snape and boarded the carriage with him, saying goodbye to everyone in Tianshi Mansion.
Snape was obviously very satisfied with this harvest, even his icy face softened.
Chapter 4 Diagon Alley, buy a wand
Perhaps because they want to get rid of the summer solstice as soon as possible, the two hippogriffs are flying very hard.
Originally, it took Snape two and a half days to get to Longhu Mountain from Hogwarts, but it only took two days to go back.
The carriage landed at Hogwarts' forest farm, and the two Hippogriffs got out of their rein, and immediately flew into the Forbidden Forest without thinking about it.
Originally, Snape planned to ask a student to take Xia Zhi to go shopping.
But he got a lot of precious herbs from Longhu Mountain, and considering that the summer solstice came to Hogwarts all the way from China, he simply took him to buy things.
As for the things that need to be dealt with at the beginning of school-leave it to Dumbledore.
"Have you brought your admission letter? Tomorrow is the start of Hogwarts. Today we must hurry up and buy all the things you need."
Hearing what Snape said, Hagrid, who saw the panicked Hippogriff, came to tidy up the carriage, and was about to ask Snape what happened, had a hellish expression on his face.
Snape gave Hagrid a cold look.
"Mr. Xia Zhi's salute is inside, first let the house elf bring it to the castle."
Hagrid was relieved instead.
This is the Professor Snape I know!
"I brought it."
Xia Zhi took out the acceptance letter that Dumbledore had given him back then, and watched Snape wave his cloak and stride forward like a big bat.
"follow me."
The two came to a fireplace, Snape grabbed some powder from a small box beside the fireplace, held it in his hands, and said to Xia Zhi.
"It's Floo powder that takes you through a network of fireplaces. Call me: Diagon Alley."
Snape threw the Floo powder.Following a burst of green flames, his figure disappeared in front of Xia Zhi.
Afterwards, Xia Zhi also grabbed a handful of Floo powder and walked into the fireplace to do the same.
"Diagon Alley!"
Using floo powder gives Xia Zhi the feeling of a super-fast elevator, which will reach its destination after a short period of weightlessness.
"It will feel a little uncomfortable when you use it for the first time, but it will be fine after you get used to it."
Snape took Xia Zhi's admission letter and led him to start from Lihen Bookstore, shop by shop.
Many shopkeepers in Diagon Alley were stunned seeing Snape actually bring freshmen to buy things.
Fortunately, school started tomorrow, and no students came to Diagon Alley to buy things until this time, otherwise they would have been surprised by Professor Snape's situation.
Seeing the astonishment of the store owners, Snape felt that his act of bringing Xia Zhi to buy things was a bit sloppy.
But it's all here, and it's impossible for him to leave Xia Zhi and turn around and leave.
After buying a lot of things, Snape took Xia Zhi to Gringotts to open an account, and asked him to deposit four hundred gold Galleons in it.
"Hogwarts is a school, so you don't need so much money. It's enough to bring a few dozen Galleons for backup."
Because of Snape's relationship, when buying a cauldron and a balance, the owner of the cauldron shop gave Xia Zhi a [-]% discount.
As expected of a master of potions, he is very famous.
When passing by the pet shop, Snape asked Xia Zhi.
"Hogwarts allows small pets such as owls, ravens, falcons, toads, mice, and cats. Do you want to buy one?"
Xia Zhi shook his head.
"No, Professor Snape."
If he needs a pet, he will go back to the Forbidden Forest to catch it by himself.
The legendary holy beast unicorn is very good.
A holy beast and an orthodox monk are a perfect match!
After a full morning of shopping, Solstice finally made it to the Ollivander Wand Shop.
The store looks small and run down, even the gold paint on the sign has peeled off.
It reads: Ollivander, made from 382 BC.
Snape walked into the store with Summer Solstice, and sensed that there were guests coming, and there was a nice bell in the store.
Ollivander, who was full of white hair and seemed to be tidying up his things, walked over from the shop and smiled at Snape.
"Oh, Professor Snape, I remember your wand. Birch, cored with snake nerves, thirteen and a half inches long, precise and fierce."
Snape had no intention of greeting him at all.
Ollivander was not angry either, but looked at Xia Zhi with a look of surprise.
"Are you a freshman at Hogwarts? What's your name, please? It's rare to buy a wand at this time."
Xia Zhi glanced at the dense wand boxes piled up in the store, and replied.
"Summer solstice. Or, as you say, solstice summer."
"Okay, Mr. Xia."
Ollivander took out a pair of tape measures with silver scales from his pocket, and asked Xia Zhi.
"Which hand do you prefer to use?"
"Right hand."
Xia Zhi stretched out his right hand.
But Ollivander not only measured his right hand, but also measured many places, and said to Xia Zhi while measuring.
"Every wand Ollivander makes is very sophisticated and has its own essence. We generally use unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers and dragon heart nerves as materials. Absolutely no wand is exactly the same, just as no Two identical unicorns, phoenixes or dragons."
"At Ollivander, the wand chooses the wizard, not the wizard chooses the wand."
He put away the silver measuring tape, pulled out a wand case from the side, and took out a brown-red wand.
