Hermione swiped through the air with her wand, and a rainbow rose immediately.

"Vine wood, dragon heartstring core, ten and three-quarter inches."

"Then it's this gentleman's at last." Ollivander looked up at Dudley for a while, then took out a wand and handed it to Dudley: "Try this."

"Maple, phoenix feather, seven inches long, good spring."

Dudley took it and waved it, but there was no response except for a gust of wind.

Seeing this, Ollivander frowned for the first time.

Even when Harry Potter was picking out his wand, he didn't have that reaction.

Then he produced another wand and handed it to Dudley.

"Ebony, Unicorn Hair, Eight and a Half Inches"

There was another burst of wind.

This time, Ollivander frowned even deeper.

followed by the third

"Ten Inches, Hawthorn, Unicorn Hair"

fourth root.

"Willow, unicorn hair, fourteen inches"

Dudley changed the wands one by one, but unlike Harry's different reactions when trying the wands, Dudley had no reaction at all.

It felt like a Muggle waving a stick with no words other than silly.

Ollivander's forehead has wrinkled into a Sichuan character.

Hermione looked from Dudley to Harry, and finally to the wand in her hand.

Is this root a little sloppy?Actually, I might try a few more.

No matter how stupid Dudley was, he still realized that something was wrong, so he returned the wand to Ollivander, and grabbed a box next to him.

"I feel that this wand is calling me. Didn't you say that the wand chooses the owner? Well, that's it."

Dudley said very perfunctorily, without giving Ollivander a chance to speak at all, took out 21 Galleons and put them on the counter, pulled Hermione and Harry away as if fleeing.

Ollivander watched the three leave without stopping.

"Iron Birch, Thestral Tail Feathers, Nine Inches"

"Iron birch is too hard, thestral tail feathers are too unstable, the material and core of the wand are not my favorite"

"That was the worst wand I've ever made. It's more of a dagger than a wand."

Chapter 32 32. I have something to confess

I hurried out of Ollivander's wand shop, and came to the shop directly opposite, which was a pet shop.

Dudley slapped his forehead suddenly and said, "By the way, Harry, I almost forgot that I haven't had time to give you a present for your birthday two days ago."

"Harry's birthday?" Hermione asked, "When is it?"

"Just the day before yesterday," said Dudley.

Hermione nodded, and suddenly suggested: "Why don't I give you a pet with Dudley?"

Although she only met Harry a few times, and if it wasn't for Dudley, she wouldn't have known Harry, but who made Harry Dudley's old cousin.

pet? !

The word intrigued Harry instantly, for he had never had any pets other than spiders.

"It's all over, I don't think it's necessary."

Dudley is his brother, it's okay to say, after all, Hermione hasn't known each other for a long time.

It's not a good idea to accept gifts like this.

"It's not missing every year, and it won't be this time. Besides, Hermione's birthday is next month, so it's just a matter of preparing a better gift with your heart. You are a rich man among us."

At the end, he patted Harry on the shoulder: "Come on, let's go in and see what's inside."

Holding his neck, he walked towards the pet store.

When Hermione heard about her birthday, a blush flashed on Hermione's face, she tidied her hair a little, and followed the two of them towards the pet shop.

At the entrance of the pet store, several SAO mice dancing samba attracted the attention of many little wizards, but their parents obviously wouldn't buy them for them.

"The notice says you can choose an owl or a cat as a pet."

Dudley subconsciously ignored the toad. Except for a few people, no one likes that kind of thing, at least he doesn't like it, Harry doesn't like it, and Hermione, as a girl, doesn't like it.

There are all kinds of pets in the pet store, but there are not many types, most of which are mice, toads, owls and cats.

But Dudley also saw a few small lizards and parrots, one of which breathed flames.

Of course, these can only be regarded as ordinary animals, perhaps smarter than ordinary animals, even if they have the blood of some magical animals, they can still only be regarded as ordinary animals.

At least Dudley couldn't communicate with them in Fantastic Animal Language.

He really wants to get a magical animal to raise, but unfortunately there is no such thing in this pet shop.

This street was full of pet shops, and after visiting several of them, Harry finally found his favorite pet, a snowy owl with black spots.

"Why not choose a cat?"

Hermione asked, preferring cats to owls: "Don't you like cats?"

"Dudley prefers cats." Harry shook his head and explained, "Aunt Petunia is allergic to cat fur, and Dudley didn't even have one."

In fact, Harry didn't like cats. When he was at Mrs. Figg's house, Dudley preferred to mix with Cher and them. He actually disliked the smell of cats.

"That's a pity."

Hermione looked regretful, she kind of wanted to get a cat, but she couldn't find anything she liked in these pet shops.

Raising a cat is actually the same as looking for a partner, all you need is a friend.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Dudley was a little moved, and turned to Hermione and said, "If I keep a cat in the future, can I keep it at your house during the holidays?"

Petunia doesn't like furry things very much, so she can only put them in the house she bought separately after taking them home.

"Okay," Hermione said softly.

It has to be said that Jin Gallon's purchasing power is still very strong in the wizarding world. After shopping around, he bought a lot of things and even an owl, but there are still quite a few left.

The main reason is that Dudley didn't buy those potion ingredients, otherwise there wouldn't be enough.

For example, the dragon liver sold next to it made Dudley a little moved.Helplessly, the galleons in my pocket are really limited, and 100 gold Galleons per year is definitely enough for school, but it is undoubtedly unrealistic if you want to be extravagant, especially potions are still expensive, especially some rare potions. Manufacturing is even more money-burning, and material costs are a lot of money.

Seventeen Sickles, one ounce of dragon liver, about 28 grams.

And seventeen hectares equals one Galleon.

This is also the reason why potion masters are rare.

Poverty is a very intuitive reason.

Mainly Dudley wanted to taste the taste of these things besides boiling potions.

Dragon liver and phoenix marrow

Dudley thought about finding a way to earn some Galleons before implementing this gourmet plan.

No matter which world you are in, as long as there are transactions, money is a very necessary thing.

When the three of them arrived at the appointed place, they found that only McGonagall, Petunia and Mrs. Granger were sitting in the small shop, and Vernon and Mr. Granger met for a drink at the Leaky Cauldron.

The Dursleys only took the textbooks stipulated by Hogwarts. They knew their son was very independent, so Garen didn't mess with it and kept it for Dudley. The Grangers bought a lot of other books , they know how much their daughter loves to read.

"There is still one month before school starts, Hermione, can I often go to your place to read books during this month?"

Although she had read some magic books from Mrs. Figg before, she was a squib after all, and the books she bought were not very comprehensive. No one would think her knowledge was too rich.

Especially when I will go to study in an unknown and magical place in a month, knowledge, especially some common sense knowledge, is even more important.

Dudley's eyes lit up as he looked at the mountain of books almost as tall as a man.

How many Galleons did it cost?

Dudley admitted he was getting hungry.

"Um"

Naturally, Hermione would not refuse Dudley's simple request, she nodded slightly, and then her face flushed slightly as if thinking of something.

It seemed that no boy had ever been to his house except Dudley.

Dudley swore he really just wanted to learn.

If there are so many books for him to buy by himself, he will definitely buy them, but why spend money when he can prostitute for nothing now?

Even if he is considered a small fortune in the world of ordinary people, he is penniless in the magical world. It is important to make good use of existing resources.

Even though he still had more than 100 Gold Galleons left in his hand, the 100 Gold Galleons exchanged for Harry's qualifications would naturally be put into Dudley's pocket. It was legal and there was no reason to waste it.

The car home was driven by Petunia. Both Vernon and Mr. Granger drank a lot. According to them, the wine in the wizarding world has a unique flavor.

The next day, after Dudley finished his morning exercise, the family sat at the dining table enjoying delicious food.

"Harry and I are expected to leave here for Hogwarts on September [-]st."

After swallowing a small sausage, Dudley cleared his throat and continued: "Before that, there is something I need to confess to you. I planned to tell you when I was an adult."

Having said that, his expression became a little serious.

Seeing Dudley's seriousness, Vernon and Petunia also sat up straight, Harry probably guessed what Dudley was going to say.

"Actually... I opened a company outside."

Chapter 33 33. Other people's children are good at everything

The Dursley family of four had a pleasant month. During this month, the four of them got along very happily. In addition to daily study and exercise, most of the time the family of four gathered together to go out and play, enjoy The only remaining time together.

Although Hogwarts also has holidays, it is the first time to travel far after all.

During this time, Dudley often went to Hermione's house to study with her, and of course he would bring Harry with him, so Harry was forced to preview a lot of textbooks in advance.Hermione would occasionally visit Dudley at the Dursleys' house, which Petunia was delighted with.

The two families also meet occasionally to go fishing together, because attending the same school makes the relationship between the two families closer.

Of course, the news that Dudley started his own company outside really shocked the Dursleys.

Especially when I knew that the famous 'Jerry' turned out to be my child, I didn't know what expression to use to express my feelings.

I thought my child was good enough, but I didn't expect it to be so good.

However, their ability to accept is really strong. After all, their sons and nephews are going to become wizards, and it doesn't matter if they start another company.

And so came September [-]st.

It was the day Dudley and Harry were leaving.

"Have you brought enough change of clothes, Dudley and Harry?"

"Dudley, are you sure you want to bring those things?"

"Harry, remember to bring Hedwig's rations, eat one, three, five in the white bag, two, four, six in the green bag, and Sundays, the yellow bag, remember not to feed it too much, remember to give it to me after eating Send a letter."

Vernon went to clean up the luggage for the two of them and put them in the car, while Petunia took the trouble to tell the two of them some precautions, and often added something at the end.

"Lily used to be like this when she was in school."

Hedwig was the name of the owl Harry kept.

"Got it, Mom."

"Got it, Aunt Petunia."

Dudley and Harry nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

I have to say that the owl rations made by Petunia are very suitable for Hedwig's taste. According to Petunia's memories, the rations made by Lily used to be the favorite of the owls raised by her.

The result of this is that Hedwig has been fed fat twice in more than a month. If you want to ask who is closest to her at home, Harry, the master, will be ranked second.

"It's amazing that wizards would go to school by means of transportation like trains. I thought they would use some more magical methods, such as a huge pumpkin cart pulled by countless horses or a pirate ship that can float in the air."
