10. A top student’s way of visiting bookstores
When a group of people walked out of the robe shop, Elaine's eyes were dull, crestfallen, and sluggish, as if she had just been raped by five muscular men.
No, no, she has become a girl, so she should be given to her by Five Ruhua
Ahem, it’s good to know what I mean.
"Why do you hate skirts so much?" Hermione asked confused. "It's just a way of dressing up."
"Do you need a reason to hate?"
Elaine replied, looking up at the sky at 45 degrees and sighing. She was also helpless.
If there was no live broadcast room and no audience, who would care about wearing women's clothing.
But the problem is, there are millions of people watching his joke now - including people he knows, including old classmates, ex-girlfriends, his brothers, and even his parents.
In this case, it is best for her to accept her identity as a woman calmly.
If I had known this, I shouldn't have exposed my identity when I first traveled through time, but my mind was in chaos at that time, so I said it without thinking. It was also this broken system garbage. It erased all of Du Chen’s existing information, including ID card, photos, accounts, mobile phone numbers, etc., but it did not delete the person’s memory.
Elaine shuddered as she recalled the terrifying feeling of seeing the barrage posted by her parents in the live broadcast room one day. That day was the day when she was forced to wear a dress to attend a pure-blood dinner and confessed in front of millions of viewers. The humiliation of dressing up as a woman
This is a sad story.
But at least there is a happy ending. At least the old man seems to be quite happy now. Especially just now, from the corner of her eye, she saw her father posting a barrage praising her for looking good in a skirt.
I really don’t want to talk about that feeling anymore.
In the end, there were no textbooks left to buy. However, before going to the Gorgeous and Stained Bookstore, Elaine stopped at a grocery store. Ignoring Hermione's urging, she took her and picked out two small bags, saying that they would be used to store books. .
"You can't even fit a book this size in." Mr. Granger looked at the palm-sized bag in confusion. "This can only be used to store cosmetics or change at most."
"Just cast the Traceless Telescopic Charm. Without this, it would be very tiring to carry more than ten books around school every day, especially Hogwarts is very big." Elaine explained, "That is a magic spell that can expand the volume and strengthen items. A spell that not only increases the size of the interior while keeping the outside of the object unchanged, but also makes the object lighter."
"However, it is a very serious violation for Muggles to see fifty or sixty books taken out of a small bag." Professor McGonagall said sternly, "Miss Shafik, items using the Traceless Extension Charm must be magically It must be recognized by the relevant authorities of the Ministry, otherwise it will be a violation of the confidentiality law, and I don’t want to see my students being summoned by the Wizengamot.”
"I know, but Grandpa has obtained two permissions - you know, Professor, in the eyes of a pure-blood family like ours, the regulations of the Ministry of Magic are nothing."
"Horace favors you so much that I will send him letters reminding him of the necessity of the law."
"Well, it might be more effective to send a roaring letter." Elaine said nonchalantly. One or two roaring letters were just enough to repay her for letting her attend the dance last time. "If the problem of the Ministry of Magic being corrupted and influenced by pureblood families could be solved with a letter or two, all wizards would be grateful to you."
Professor McGonagall snorted and stopped talking, but Hermione asked curiously.
"Grandpa, didn't you mean that all your family members"
"Well, to be precise, it's my uncle, but he wants me to call him grandpa. Speaking of which, are there any other wizards in the Slughorn family?"
"It seems not." Lu Ping frowned and thought for a moment. "The only descendants of Slughorn are old Horace and your grandfather, and your mother is an only child."
The group of people came to the bookstore while chatting. For top students, Flourish and Blotts Bookstore is definitely the most attractive store in Diagon Alley. It is simply a small library with dozens of books piled inside the store. On the bookshelf, several wizards could vaguely be seen browsing.
Lupine approached the clerk and took out the notification letter to start negotiations. Professor McGonagall flipped through a book, which must be about transfiguration, because the book changed from a square to a round shape in her hands.
Even the Grangers, who were Muggles, were very curious about books that could move, talk, and even float. After discussing for a while, the two walked into the bookshelves in the History of Magic area and started to visit.
As soon as Hermione entered the door, she quickly walked into the spell area with shining eyes. Elaine, who was following her, could clearly hear Hermione whispering the word heaven. By the way, the Shafiq bloodline seems to have a special effect on hearing, but I am not sure because there is a discrepancy between Nott and Horace's accounts, and there is no Shafiq tribesman who can explain it.
Then everyone was shocked by Hermione's aura of picking books. Although they didn't know how she chose, Hermione kept taking books from the bookshelf. When her hands couldn't hold them, she called Nott out and threw the books directly to him. Quickly, the pile of books held by the elf was as high as Elaine.
"No amount of money is enough to buy this. Hermione, please calm down. Not every book is suitable."
"I'm choosing." Miss Granger didn't even raise her head. "It's always right to choose a textbook author's book. I should choose two or three books for each subject as supplementary textbooks. Then some books introducing customs and history can make me learn more. Learn about the magical world, about work and the future, and about lifestyle habits."
I think the anchor should suggest her to buy the bookstore directly
I’ve spent so much time looking at the pile of books on the bookshelf, how did I choose them?
"Stop, please, stop." In response to Hermione's verbal attacks that were like chanting, Elaine clasped her hands together and begged her to hold her hands high. "What I want to say is that the collection of books at my home is definitely more useful than these, and the books you bought may be available in my home and the Hogwarts library."
"But I can't keep borrowing books from you, and school is still a month away."
"How many books can you read in a month?"
"With this thickness, one book a day should be fine, but I still have to carry textbooks. I think fifteen books should be about the same."
Madam, come out and see the top student
She has given up on being a human, right?
This is not a top scholar, he is a god of study.
"...ok, Nott, put all the books back." Elaine raised her hands in surrender with a headache. The top student was really scary. "Don't stare at me like that. You don't know anything about it, but you can't read books in the wizarding world randomly. There are some magics in them that will affect you."
"Liar, how could such a dangerous book be sold in a bookstore?" Hermione scoffed.
"It's dangerous for you who can't control your magic yet, but it's not dangerous for other wizards. If you don't want to be influenced by the book, you'll have to add meow at the end of your speech from now on."
"I think you're lying."
After Elaine tried her best to persuade her and ensured that she could buy books by mail order, Hermione finally agreed to give up and only bought Hogwarts, a school history and a few books recommended by Lupine. books.
Not many, only six books in total.
What is horrifying is that Mrs. Granger actually used Lockhart's plan to settle the bill. Fortunately, Professor McGonagall never liked Lockhart and thought he was just a vain fame-seeking person. With Elaine's desperate persuasion, then The book was finally put back on the bookshelf.
And their shopping trip has come to an end, everything is ready, just waiting for the first day of school on September 1st.
