A day at Hogwarts

Charles rubbed his head to slow down his swollen head.

Beside him, a silver-haired, blue-eyed, earth-shatteringly cute little girl who looked about 6 years old was begging the clerk to sell herself a necklace in the tray.

The necklace was made of silver-like metal, and the oval pendant was inlaid with precious stones. The pendants of the three necklaces were blue iris, white swan and red rooster.

Just now the clerk said that this set of necklaces has the functions of protecting the wearer from beast poisonous insects, detoxifying common poisons and simply positioning each other.

But let alone the third function, just looking at its color scheme, you know that it is impossible to disassemble and sell it.

Gabrielle Delacour put all the gold, silver, and copper coins she had brought, neatly lined up on the counter, but only enough for the price of the necklace.

The clerk also looked at Gabriel helplessly. Such a pink and jade-carved little girl has been begging herself for so long, but she has softened her heart. If she was the boss, she would take it apart and sell it.

However, these necklaces belong to the boss. If I disassemble them and sell the other two necklaces, the boss will let me pay for them. Alas, cuteness is not worth mentioning in front of capitalism.

"I'm really sorry." The clerk said to Gabriel with a wry smile, "I really can't take it apart for sale. Why don't you look at other necklaces with similar functions?"

Gabrielle was about to cry, the other necklaces only had one function, and wearing two together would cause interference, but I only had so much pocket money saved for a long time, what should I do if I can't buy a necklace.

"I bought this necklace."

Charles put a pile of gold coins on the counter.

The clerk counted the money, and it was just enough for a set of necklaces and packaging. He could only look at Gabriel apologetically, girl, if you want to be ruthless, be ruthless capitalism.

Gabriel saw Charles come out halfway to buy the necklace, but she had no choice but to look at him angrily.

Charles just twitched his mouth slightly when he saw it.

"Okay," the clerk said to Charles, "do you want to pack them separately or together?"

Charles said slightly to the clerk, "Please wait a moment."

Then he held the wooden box containing the necklace and handed it to Gabriel, and said softly, "I can sell it to you whichever one you like."

Gabriel's mouth, which was still pouting, was instantly opened round in shock, and she immediately covered it with her small hands, her sea-like blue eyes were filled with surprise and joy.

"Is it really okay?" Gabriel asked Charles warily, "You won't let me do something bad, will you?"

The clerk next to him thought it was a happy ending, but when Gabriel asked this question, she immediately raised her vigilance, and the wand was already in her hand.

Charles immediately shook his head, joking, this is Saint-Etienne in France, not to mention the Auror patrol on the road just now, the Interpol headquarters is less than 70 kilometers away from here.

"How could I let you do bad things?" Charles tried to put a kind smile on his face, "I only have one neck, and I can only wear one necklace. If I buy too much, I can't wear it."

Gabriel thought it was the same, and then relaxed her vigilance.

Charles breathed a sigh of relief, he should not be called an Auror anymore, so he asked softly, "Which one do you like?"

Gabriel pointed to the necklace with the white swan pendant and said: "I like this, but I want to buy this, my sister likes flowers."

As she spoke, she pointed to the blue iris necklace.

Charles smiled and said, "No problem."

Then he asked the clerk to wrap the three necklaces separately.

After taking the necklace box, Charles handed the blue box to Gabriel and said, "I just agreed, this is for you."

Gabriel took the box containing the necklace with one hand, transferred the money on the counter to Charles with the other hand, and said happily, "Thank you, this is your money."

Charles accepted the money, then put the white box into Gabriel's hand, and said with a smile, "This is for you, Merry Christmas!"

Gabriel widened her blue eyes again in astonishment, and looked at Charles in disbelief.

"No!" Gabrielle hurriedly handed back the white box in her hand, "I can't take things from strangers!"

Instead of taking the box, Charles asked her, "Did I do you a favor just now?"

Gabriel thought for a while and nodded.

Charles added: "Friends should help each other, and if I help you, I am a friend."

Gabriel thought about it again, it seemed like this, but she still said, "But I don't know your name yet."

When the two of them reported their names to each other, the clerk on the side had already taken out a small notebook to record Charles' operations, thinking that this method of striking up a conversation might be useful in the future.

The two children waved goodbye at the door of the store not long after. With the contact information, the next step is the bitter owl.

Charles walked on the street for a while and saw that the sunset had climbed into the sky. He didn't know how long the old man was going to chat with his old friend, so he decided to go to the bookstore next to him to have a look, and eat something by himself later if there was no movement.

The bookstore is not big, and the books inside are all for making magic items, but there are many people, some are picking, some are holding a stack of books to pay, and some are rubbing books.

Inspired by the quill pen for automatic writing, Charles plans to build an automatic mouse and keyboard in the future. Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that he must first build a floating cannon system to save his life, so he started to focus on making magic items, second only to farming.

The books on the bookshelf were arranged according to their categories. When he came to Mengxin District, he picked up a book on making automatic tea sets.

Although he understands French, he can understand each word in each book, but it is difficult to connect them together. This is caused by the difference between the French magic system and the British one.

Charles was influenced by the old man who had learned a lot of spells from all over the world while walking around the world, so he didn't have much knowledge about magic, as long as he could achieve the effect.

So he didn't care that he was a Hogwarts student and France was here, so he carefully selected a few basic theoretical knowledge books in front of the bookshelf, and planned to study them when he had time.

At this time, he saw that there was a book on making automatic gardening tools, which was the only one left, and he thought it would be useful for farming after school started, so he reached out to get it.

Unexpectedly, at the same time, a hand as white as snow stretched out from the side, and also grabbed the book.

In front of the bookshelf, the two people who were holding the same book looked at each other. Some just smiled slightly, while the other stood there in a daze, like a wooden man.

It took Charles a while to come back to his senses, and said with a smile, "Ladies first."
