Harry Potter's Bastard

Coming out of Ollivanders, Solim took Sylna with him to buy the rest of the goods.

"Are you going to the Bella Owl Store or going to the Fantastic Zoo?" asked Silna.

The Babbling Owl Shop only sells owls, and Harry's Hedwig bought it from here. And in the Fantastic Zoo there is everything. That's where Hermione's Crook Hill was bought.

"Fantastic Zoo," Sylna said, "we don't need owls or anything." "

The Fantastic Zoo is a very crowded pet shop filled with all kinds of animal sounds and noisy. The shopkeeper is a female proprietor with heavy black-rimmed glasses who sells all kinds of animals.

I saw that there was a business coming to the door early in the morning, and the female boss who was processing animal manure and feeding the animals breakfast greeted warmly.

"Are you here to buy a pet? What do you want? We've got it all!"

"Forget about the weird, let's be normal. What do you say?" Solim looked at his sister, "cats and dogs are good. "

Sylna ignored Solim's words, she seemed to be in a daze now.

"Syrna?" called Solim.

"Did you just hear anything?" Silna began to look around the room.

Glancing at his sister, Solim said to the female boss: "Let's pick and choose first, and we'll tell you when we pick and choose." "

The landlady turned around and went about her business.

"What did you hear?"

"Just here...... I can't say, but I'm sure there weren't just three of us talking, there was also a voice. "

Solim narrowed his eyes.

"Listen!" Sylna apparently heard the voice again.

But Solim didn't hear anything, the noise in the shop was too noisy. The sounds of various animals are mixed together, and it is difficult to distinguish one particular sound.

"He said he was a little cold. Sylna looked back at Solim.

Animals are cold, aren't they?

Solim looked at his sister, took her hand and began to walk around the store, as if looking for something.

"That's it, Sylna, listen to it, isn't it. Solim led Sylna to a cage.

Solim, who had been keeping an eye on Syrna, noticed that his sister's expression began to change.

"I ...... I'm a ......" Syrna's expression was strange, shocked, scared, excited, excited, and these were shown on her face at the same time, which would be strange indeed.

"That's right, it should be. Solim was surprised, he had never thought his sister would be a parseltongue. I'm going to meet a snake this year, and my sister who is just about to enter school is a parseltongue......

"Don't tell anyone about it. Solim pulled Sylna up, "But why didn't you know you were a ......?"

Sylna gave Solim a blank look and didn't speak. Seeing Sirna's expression, Solim also came back to his senses, where did the snake come from in Selwyn's castle? Naturally, Sirna's talent was never revealed.

"You want this?" Solim crouched down, looking at the snake in the cage. It was a white snake with green eyes and a small, pointed horn emerging from its head.

"Oh, you really have a vision!" the landlady touched it at some point and began her sales, "This snake is very rare to have the blood of a horned water snake, do you see the sharp horn on its head? It is still small, and when it grows up, that horn will be useful." "

Both Solim and Sylna knew what the female boss was talking about. The horns of the horned water snake can be used to craft wands and are quite expensive.

"Alright, that's it, Syrna, you have to take care of it. Solim stood up and said to the boss, "This snake, plus the cat." Solim gestured to a cage at the very top of the shelf. It was a jet-black cat, and no variegated color could be seen. The whole body was black and shiny, and Solim saw it as soon as he entered the store.

"The black cat?" the landlady rubbed her hands.

Solim noticed his boss's hesitation.

"What's wrong?

"She's very picky, and there are people who like her, but she doesn't follow anyone else at all. The landlady sighed, "Why don't you try it, if she's willing to go with you, I'll sell it, if she doesn't want to, don't force it, we have other cats in the store." Look over there, it's the ginger one, his name is Crookshan, how is he?"

Solim followed the direction the boss pointed and saw the ginger cat.

His face was as if he had been slapped by a pan, and his fat, big hairy tail.

Sure enough, it's Crookshan, how could Hermione fall in love with this?, Solim complained inwardly.

Looking at the black cat in front of him, Solim realized that the black cat was still a different pupil, one golden and one green. Solim reached out and touched the black cat's little paw. As a result, the black cat quickly pulled out its claws and pressed them on the back of Solim's hand.

"Haha, cat's paw is on the law!" Solim began to be in middle school.

"Will you come with me?" Scratching the black cat's chin, Solim turned to look at the female boss, "Does she have a name?"

"You can pick one for her, and she looks like she likes you. "

Eventually, Solim and Sylna walked out of the Fantastic Zoo with their pets.

Luna stood on Solim's shoulder, looking curiously at the outside world, the first time she had seen the outside of the store—Luna's name was given to Sylna. Her little white snake is called Telles. The little white snake was now wrapped around Sylna's wrist.

"You don't think it...... Are you panicking?" Solim couldn't understand his sister's behavior.

Giving Solim a blank look, Sylna didn't say anything.

"Okay, next, it's time for us to go shopping for clothes. Solim changed the subject, "Where do you want to go?" or Mrs. Morkin's robes store?"

Most wizards choose to go to Lady Morkin, mainly because of the cheapness, and of course, the quality of the robes at Lady Morkin is also good. But compared to the ready-to-wear store, there are not so many styles and functions.

"I don't know, brother, you can make up your mind. "Sylna doesn't usually get a chance to come to Diagon Alley, and she doesn't know much about the shops here.

Feeling the weight of his purse covertly, Solim took Sylna to the ready-to-wear store with Silna. I have to say that the decoration of the ready-to-wear store looks more classy than that of Mrs. Morkin.

After coming out, Solim touched his purse distressedly, his Galleon was almost at the bottom, and it was estimated that there would be nothing left after helping Sylna buy the cauldron, potion materials, etc.

"By the way, explain to me the question I just had in the wand shop, why wands sell so cheaply?" asked Sylna, "and the materials are more than that." Ollivander doesn't keep trading at a loss, does he?"

Touching Luna in his arms, Solim began to explain to Syrna.

Wands are a necessity for wizards. But the materials used to make wands are very expensive, and many ordinary wizards can't afford it. Let's talk about the wand of the dragon's heartstrings, each dragon's heartstring wand means killing a dragon. No matter what kind of dragon it is, there is no place to sell it cheaply. Even the cheapest dragon dung costs two Galleons a bucket. Not to mention the dragon's heartstrings.

What if ordinary wizards can't afford the price? Don't they use wands? The Ministry of Magic has come up with a way to let Ollivander sell his wands to wizards cheaply, and the difference in the middle will be supplied to Ollivander in the form of wand materials. But that's limited to every wizard's first wand. The second is the full amount.

How expensive is a full wand? A wand with the most common unicorn tail hair sells for seventy to eighty Galleons. The minister of the Ministry of Magic has a salary of only four hundred Galleons a month. A dragon wand costs between one hundred and twenty and two hundred and forty Galleons, which means that even if he is the Minister of Magic, a dragon wand is worth half a month's salary.

How can you call ordinary wizards to afford this? Think of Ron Weasley, who was still using his brother's old wand, and even the core of the unicorn's tail hair was exposed, and he didn't want to change it. The Weasleys' financial situation is really unaffordable, and generally speaking, wizarding families who are not too wealthy will not buy wands for their children too early, and they generally tend to use the old wands of their elders for their children. Wait until your child's magic stabilizes and then go to Ollivanders to buy a new wand, which will save a lot of money.

By the time Solim had bought everything for Syrna and returned to the Leaky Cauldron for lunch, he had already spent the full 450 Galleons.

It's presumptuous!" Solim thought to himself.
