Ten minutes later, Madam Malkin's Robe Store...
"Oh no!"
"No way?"
There is no surprise. The short and fat witch, the kind-hearted smile, and the purple dress. When she saw Anne's appearance and heard Anne say that she wanted to buy three sets of school uniforms, she naturally
He exclaimed repeatedly and asked:
"Honey……"
"Are you sure you really want to buy Hogwarts school uniforms?"
"Three sets of robes?"
"Are you really a freshman this year?"
"But……"
"You look like you are only seven or eight years old, right?"
No wonder!
You know, except for some very wealthy families who have their own tailors who buy the materials to make them, and some very poor families who make their own or use old school uniforms instead, almost all other students come to her to order school uniforms.
, she can be said to be the exclusive supplier of Hogwarts school uniforms.
But!
It was the first time in so many years for her to meet a student as young as Anne who claimed to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the age of seven or eight.
"Here!"
-
(゜-゜)つロ
"The notice is here!"
(^o^)/
In response to the other party's exclamation, Anne didn't bother to explain. She directly took out her admission notice and the appendix and handed them to the other party's hand.
"ah!"
"This is……"
What was not mentioned was that when Anne actually took out the letter, Mrs. Malkin, who was originally curious, suspicious and surprised, immediately looked at it and confirmed it.
Two minutes later, Madam Malkin finished reading.
"how so……"
"How is that possible?"
"This is a serious work error. The Ministry of Magic will definitely not allow it, right?"
"The Daily Prophet will definitely..."
However, even after confirming the authenticity of the letter and notice, she still looked at Anne with a look of surprise and disbelief, muttering to herself.
Obviously, she never thought that Hogwarts would take such a big trick and admit such a little girl who was not of the right age.
"Na!"
(ω)
"Mrs. Malkin, do you have any questions?"
|˙˙)
"Can you prepare school uniforms for others?"
(*^▽^)
Saying that, after getting back her admission notice and looking at the other party's confused face, Anne gradually became impatient.
After all, she didn't have to buy robes or anything like that. She could just make one herself, and it wouldn't be difficult for her.
only……
In order to go through certain procedures, to spread her identity as an eight-year-old student, and to confirm her identity as a Hogwarts student, so as not to have someone cheat on her and cheat her.
Since the admission date was postponed, she definitely needed to visit Diagon Alley.
"certainly!"
"Dear, I have no problem..."
"Although, I still find it quite incredible..."
After looking at Annie's figure, he waved an automatic measuring tape and flew over to compare Annie's surroundings. After instantly getting Annie's height, shoulder width, arm length, waist circumference and other data, he then looked at the items in his store.
The tangled-looking Madam Malkin struggled for a while before she couldn't help but suggested with some embarrassment:
"But!"
"Dear, you see, we don't have the size you need here. The average first-year student is about eleven or twelve years old. Otherwise..."
"I'll help you change it right now. You'll come back later to get it?"
After all, there has never been an eight-year-old girl student in Hogwarts, so there really is no school uniform suitable for Anne here.
"Okay!"
()
"Then they will come back later?"
()!
After saying that, after looking at the price tag of the school uniform, Annie casually grabbed a handful of gold galleons and threw them away, before carrying her little bear and walking away.
Because she also had a lot of things to buy, and she didn't have time to stay in Madam Malkin's clothing store.
Then, there were no surprises!
She went to many shops in Diagon Alley, and had situations and negotiations similar to those in Madam Malkin's shop. Many shopkeepers also exclaimed and expressed disbelief, but every time, after she showed
After receiving the acceptance letter from Hogwarts, she finally succeeded in buying everything needed for the new semester.
Among them, the most troublesome one is of course the one at Ollivander's Wand Shop!
After all, of course, none of the wands in the other party's shabby wand shop are suitable for Anne, not even one!
All wands, no matter what material they were made of or what the wand core was made of, would almost immediately explode as soon as they came into her hands. Not even half of them could withstand her casual wave!
Finally, after exploding dozens of sticks and seeing the old man Ollivander's collapsed expression that was about to burst into tears, Anne felt a little pitiful for him. Then she tried hard to contain her almost 100% magic power, and then
Reluctantly, a beautifully crafted wand successfully produced a series of beautiful bubbles.
What was not said then was that when Anne finally chose the wand that suited her, the old man Ollivander was extremely pleased and excited, and of course he drove her out of the shop as if he was sending the plague away, even with that
No more money for a magic wand.
Just like that, when she returned to Madam Malkin's shop and got her three sets of uniforms, a full two hours had passed.
"Well..."
()
"You should have bought everything, right?"
(^)
After getting the carefully packed school uniform robes from Mrs. Malkin, Anne began to carefully examine her harvest:
Three sets of black plain work robes, a black plain pointed hat, a pair of dragon skin protective gloves, a black winter cloak with silver buckles, "Standard Spells, Elementary", "History of Magic", "Magic Theory", "
Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration", "Thousands of Miraculous Herbs"
and Fungi", "Magic Potions and Potions", "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", "Dark Arts: A Guide to Self-Defense", a wand, a pewter crucible (standard size 2), a set of glass or crystal potions
bottle, a telescope, a brass balance...
"In other words, there is only one pet left now?"
(ε)
After comparing the appendices again and finding that there were no omissions, except for the pet that she had not purchased, Annie went straight to a pet store that she was very familiar with without saying anything else.
Then……
When she once again made insinuations about a certain shopkeeper who must have done illegal business, but in the end she did not buy a fire dragon as a pet, she had no choice but to be driven out of the shop in the face of the shopkeeper's frightened and pleading eyes.
.
"There is no dragon..."
()
"Other pets are too smelly and I don't like them..."
()
Annie, who had failed in her shopping, just stood at the door of the pet store and said resentfully, obviously feeling aggrieved about not being able to buy a fire dragon this time.
As for the phoenix eggs hidden by the shopkeeper, she didn't ask about them because the phoenixes were too ugly and she didn't like them at all.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"Right!"
|▽)
"Tibbers, I'll just use you as a pet!"
()
But soon, she found a solution to that problem.
then!
Before a bear could react, she took it off her waist and threw it away!
(???)
(‖)?
Then, in the confusion of a certain bear, it turned into a naive bear the moment it landed... a panda?!
"Wow!"
(▽)
“So cute!”
(*)
It looks delicious...
Annie picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but feel so old in her heart.
but……
Thinking that this was her Tibbers after all, or that she had conjured it up with magic, she had to reluctantly give up some unwanted thoughts and asked:
"Tibbers, are you satisfied now?"
(-)
"During your stay at Hogwarts, you don't have to hang on someone else's waist every day!"
()hey-hey
(?!)
()
Tibbers didn't react at all, because the treatment became so good all of a sudden, and it couldn't help but feel a little unbelievable and unable to recover.
"but……"
(*︶*).
"You can't run around, otherwise..."
()
(!!)
(ˊˋ)
Otherwise, Tibbers knew without having to guess.
Therefore, it nodded hurriedly, stepped forward and hugged its poor little master's thigh tightly with its small paws, rubbing it vigorously to express its gratitude and admiration.
"Let's go!"
()
"I'm going back, I have to go to school tomorrow!"
()
However, Annie would not be fooled by the cuteness and cuteness of the little bear, so she slapped him away, then turned around and strode away from Diagon Alley.
(…)
(")"
And what Tibbers didn't say was that, having been warned just now, it naturally didn't dare to run around and simply followed its little master's butt.
"Wow!"
"Mom! Mom!"
"What kind of pet is that?"
"How come I've never seen it before?"
"Oh! My dear, that's the panda cub from the East..."
"panda?"
"I want it too!"
"But, you have already bought a toad..."
"!!"
"I don't want toad anymore, it's so ugly!"
"I want a panda!"
"ah?"
"Mom! Mom!"
"Today is my birthday!"
"Buy it for me!!!!"
Behind her, in addition to the occasional wizard looking at Annie and her little bear and exclaiming in amazement, she also heard a child who seemed to be begging his mother to buy one?
However, Anne knew that the other person's wish was destined to be impossible to achieve, because her Tibbers was conjured by herself, not bought from a pet store.
