Chapter 12 Busy Summer Vacation
They found Percy Weasley in a junk shop full of tattered wands, rickety copper balances, and old medicine-stained cloaks.
He is concentrating on reading a thick book.
"Dad, what's the matter with you?" Percy asked in panic.
He just watched too deeply, and didn't know what was going on outside.
Fred was the first to say, "We went and robbed Gringotts."
George continued: "I also had a fight with the fire dragon guarding the private vault and was almost killed by that Ukrainian iron belly."
"Don't listen to them!" Mrs Weasley glared at the brothers and said gently, "Dear Percy, have you selected your textbook?"
"Yeah." Percy nodded, put down the book in his hand reluctantly, and walked towards the salesperson.
William noticed that the book he was reading was called How to Be a Prefect.
On the bookshelf, there is also a row of books, such as: "How a Prefect Gains Power", "How to Become the President of the Student Union", "How to Enter the Ministry of Magic", "How to Become the Minister of the Ministry of Magic"...
On the cover, it was written in large gilt fonts: Do you want to succeed? Want to have power? Come on then! I will teach you how to reach the peak of life and marry pure rich beauty.
——Recommended by the new Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, who vomited blood!
There is also a row of small print below, with the names of many important officials of the Ministry of Magic, such as Ludo Bagman, Dolores Umbridge...
It's a book that teaches wizards to succeed, and it's a book series.
The most important thing is that the price is not low, and the price is 30 Galleons. You know, a copy of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is only two Galleons.
William has reason to suspect that this is for some people in the Ministry of Magic to misuse money, or use it for money laundering!
Watching William staring at the books on the bookshelf, Fred whispered, "Percy has ambitions. He has all plans and will be a prefect next year."
George winked and said, "Then the student council president."
"Finally the Minister of Magic."
George covered his head and said with an extremely exaggerated expression: "Merlin's beard! What to do, our family is going to have a Minister of Magic."
Charlie tapped the twins on the head and said, "Okay, let Percy hear, he's going to be unhappy again.
You guys, give me practice this summer. Quidditch is about to start in the second grade. This is my last year at school. We must win!
Last term I lost to Slytherin, you know, I didn't dare to speak to Professor McGonagall alone in the period before the holiday. "
Charlie was the Quidditch captain of Gryffindor House. At a very young age, he showed a great talent for Quidditch and was selected by Professor McGonagall.
Cedric secretly told William that after Charlie graduates, it is likely that he will enter the Scottish Quidditch national team.
It seems that Cedric also loves Quidditch.
After everyone bought things together, they walked towards the Leaky Cauldron Bar.
Down the road, Fred took Cedric's hand and asked him for his homework.
Cedric looked wary and asked, "Your homework should have been done long ago, right?"
"Hey, brother, completion and accuracy are two different things." Fred explained, "You don't even know how much your answer can sell for, but Li is willing to pay ten cents."
Cedric was so amazed that he took the trouble to sell a repair kit for ten sicols.
But he still politely declined.
This made the twin brothers a little disappointed, but it didn't matter, they still had Ravenclaw's spare tires, and at most they were sold at a lower price.
Everyone returned to the Leaky Cauldron, and the Weasleys would use the bar's fireplace and Floo powder to return to the Burrow.
Cedric will follow them too,
Because the two are not far apart.
When parting, Cedric made an appointment for the next meeting, and Fred and the others also invited William to play in the Burrow.
Mr. Weasley wanted to ask questions about Roy's car, but he dismissed the idea as soon as he saw Mrs. Weasley's face.
As the floo powder swayed, everyone gradually disappeared into the fireplace.
Hagrid didn't leave. He was going to stay at the Leaky Cauldron for a while until he was completely done with recruiting new students.
The hairy three-headed dog, William did not see in the end, the Greek temporarily asked for a price increase, which made Hagrid extremely angry.
But looking at his appearance, no matter how much money, he should buy it.
This kind of thing is just needed for Hagrid!
Roy's face was crimson, and the wine in the magic world was added with many potions, and the taste was more mellow than that of Muggles.
Under Tom's trick, he bought a lot of wine and went home with William and Bobo tea.
There is also a gray forest owl.
This owl has a dark brown body, brown-white outer coverts on the outer wings, and prominent brown-white wing spots on the wings. The chest has fine stripes and beetle-like spots, which looks extremely heroic.
William wasn't going to take it to Hogwarts.
The admission letter clearly states that a little wizard can only bring one pet.
William was going to take Bobo Tea to the school, and he had no intention of breaking the school rules as soon as he entered the school.
What's more, according to Hagrid, there are a lot of owls in the school that can be used for free, such as Milia who likes to pretend to be sick and steal small dried fish.
In fact, William still felt very inconvenient.
The communication equipment of this era is already very backward, and Hogwarts cannot use technological products.
The owl will be kept at home for William's parents to use to contact him.
Anne, however, was ready to commandeer the owl.
The little girl started writing letters to Dumbledore that night, asking about admissions.
How can there be no owl!
She also gave this grey forest owl a domineering and side-sounding name, called Drogon!
Bobo tea doesn't like Drogon, or rather, he hates all owls and always wants to catch them and eat them.
This made Drogon extremely uneasy. He could always inadvertently see the orange cat squatting in the corner and staring at it!
William had to let Drogon go.
This summer vacation is destined to be long and fulfilling.
As a child about to enter the wizarding world, William was frantically studying the lessons of Hogwarts, and other miscellaneous things.
Magic is an extremely sophisticated and complete system. It has a complete set of operating methods, which is completely different from the discipline that William was familiar with in his previous life.
Standard spoken language, marked actions, as long as you have magic power, you can trigger the effect of the spell with the magic wand.
Newton's coffin board must not hold back.
In just one month, William recited a lot of spells and tried many ways to cast spells.
(The Ministry of Magic reminds all Muggles: young wizards can cast spells before they enter school, see the Minister Hermione, she has tried several magics at home (so humbly).
It is forbidden to cast spells at home. It is only required at the end of the semester. Don't make up laws at will. Be careful Aurors invite you to tea. )
Accurate movements, clear articulation, and a lot of repetitive mechanical exercises... let him learn many lower-level wizards and spells that can be learned.
This kind of madness was only experienced by William during the third year of high school in his previous life.
William enjoys this pace of life.
He would also write to Cedric if he came across something he couldn't.
As a genius, Cedric was the best little wizard of his grade, and could answer many of William's questions.
However, Cedric has only been in school for a year, and many things, even he can't answer.
At such times, William would turn to Dumbledore for help.
It sounds crazy, Dumbledore is so busy as a headmaster, how can he have time to pay attention to a little wizard who has not yet entered the school.
But this impossible happened.
This is still thanks to Anne, every time she writes to Dumbledore, the old man will reply quickly.
As a result, William would often attach a blank sheet of paper to the back of Anne's letters and write his questions.
When Dumbledore replied to Annie's letter, he would also give his own opinions along the way.
Finally, on August 31st, William will set foot on the Hogwarts train tomorrow.
At night, he, who had not had a dream for a long time, had another dream.
This time, he didn't dream of the scratch-off, but Diagon Alley, Ollivander, Cedric, the twins, and the Malfoy boy.
At the end of the dream, William holds Hagrid's three-headed dog.
The three-headed dog had the heads of Erha, Huolong, and Bobo Tea. Erha had a decoration plan of 200,000 yuan in his mouth and demolished William's room.
