I, The Scavenger Of The Universe, Found A Chat Group

Everyone was handsome and pretty, and they had already gotten to know each other.

So there was no awkward silence after they met, and they quickly became familiar with each other.

Of course, it was mainly the group members who were talking. Professor McGonagall was beside Shi Huang, and it was inconvenient for him to talk, so he just typed a reply in the group from time to time.

…………

Diagon Alley, Floo Pink Fireplace.

Shi Huang and Professor McGonagall appeared here again.

Looking at this street hidden between magic and reality, Shi Huang did not expect that he would visit here twice in two days.

Unlike yesterday’s hurried journey, this time he had enough time to carefully observe this famous alley in the wizarding world. But after not looking for long, Shi Huang retracted his gaze.

Forgive the weird and crooked Victorian-style buildings on both sides of the street, which really do not conform to Shi Huang’s aesthetics.

Especially since he has some mild obsessive-compulsive disorder.

“How is it?” Professor McGonagall asked,”What do you think of Diagon Alley?”

Shi Huang shrugged and said,”It does look a bit magical at first glance, but I don’t understand why they made the building crooked and like a dilapidated house?”

Professor McGonagall explained,”Oh, this is the anti-gravity tilting style of the early Victorian period.”

“Although these buildings look like they might collapse at any moment, they are actually very stable.”

“It is said that the wizards who built Diagon Alley wanted to use this style to give people a sense of crumbling, ancient and abandoned, slightly clumsy but not too deliberate feeling.”

“But in my opinion, the architectural style of Diagon Alley has another meaning, which is to remind wizards that they don’t have to pursue perfection in everything.”

“Although magic is fantastic, it is not omnipotent.”

It must be said that Professor McGonagall is a very qualified and excellent professor.

Not only is she knowledgeable, but she also actively conveys positive energy to students.

Of course, this professor occasionally gossips.

“I heard that you told the Sorting Hat that you like beautiful women during the Sorting Ceremony?”

This sudden turn of events almost broke Shi Huang’s back.

If he hadn’t been sure that the chat group could not be detected by outsiders, Shi Huang would have suspected that Professor McGonagall did it on purpose.

Asking such a question at this time, he would probably get the title of LSP in the group.

In this regard, Shi Huang wanted to argue for himself, he was not old at all!

“Yes, did you hear what the Sorting Hat said? My uncle told me that looking at girls every day can keep you happy and good for your health.”

“you……”

Faced with Shi Huang’s frankness, Professor McGonagall was speechless for a moment.

Then she said earnestly:”Although the school does not oppose free love, given your current situation, it is best for you to focus on your studies.”

“In addition, love also has a great and magical power in magic. Don’t let yourself fall into the abyss because of a momentary impulse.”

Professor McGonagall said this, almost telling Shi Huang: Don’t be a scumbag sea king in Hogwarts, otherwise you will die miserably.

Shi Huang replied seriously:”Professor, please rest assured. I just like to look at beautiful women and appreciate beautiful things, not to fall in love with everyone I see. I am still very cautious in choosing relationships.”

“I hope so.”

Professor McGonagall nodded, without saying whether she believed Shi Huang or not, but continued:”Let’s go, I’ll take you to Gringotts to exchange some money first.”

After the small talk, it’s time to get down to business.

Shi Huang ignored the teasing led by Ying Yinman in the chat group, and followed Professor McGonagall to Gringotts.

This wizard bank managed by goblins (goblins) is located in the most conspicuous location of Diagon Alley.

If the timing was not right, Shi Huang really wanted to ask Professor McGonagall, will the people in the wizarding world really not learn their lessons?

The rebellions launched by goblins in history are not once or twice. How dare they hand over the only bank in the wizarding world to the goblins?

Shi Huang complained about his doubts in the group, and he really got an answer.

According to Ying Yinman, the control of Gringotts was once taken by wizards in a goblin rebellion.

As a result, in a more famous goblin rebellion in the 18th century, it was snatched back by the goblins.

Of course, those goblins also paid a considerable price for this, one of which was that goblins could no longer use wands to cast spells.

Professor McGonagall introduced to Shi Huang:”Maybe before this, you have learned about the types of currency in the wizarding world from a classmate.”

“If you haven’t, let me give you a brief introduction here. In the wizarding world, 1 gold Galleon is equal to 17 silver Sickles, or 493 bronze Knuts.”

“The exchange rate between Galleons and British Pounds is usually stable at around 1:5.”

“Gringotts provides 200 Galleons of British Pounds exchange rate to young wizards from Muggle families every school year.”

“Taking your special situation into consideration, the school has increased your application amount to 500.”

“Oh, yes. This is the book list for grades one to five at Hogwarts this year, as well as some necessary magic props for the courses.”

Professor McGonagall said, taking out five pieces of paper from the pocket of her robe and handing them to Shi Huang.

After Shi Huang took it, he first expressed his gratitude, and then asked:”Professor McGonagall, do you have any suggestions for the items I need to buy next?”

Professor McGonagall replied:”Wands, school uniforms, cloaks, protective gloves, and cauldrons, etc., these magic props needed in the course are definitely necessary.”

“If you are interested in pets, you can also keep one. Owls, cats and toads are all pets allowed in school.”

“As for textbooks, all the books in Flourish and Blotts are genuine, but they are also expensive. Each book costs at least 5 gold galleons.”

“So I suggest you only buy the books you need for the fifth grade, and you can borrow the textbooks for the other grades from your classmates.”

“Of course, you can also go to the second-hand bookstore opposite Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, where the books are relatively much cheaper.”

“Maybe I can find some books with notes from the previous owner.”

Shi Huang thanked Professor McGonagall again.

As for the last suggestion she gave, Shi Huang did not intend to adopt it.

He was also a person who had experienced the student days, and knew that many students would sell their textbooks as second-hand books after graduation.

But Shi Huang also knew that many students liked to draw on their textbooks when they were bored in class.

Usually this behavior was harmless, but if it was placed in the magical world, it would be a big problem.

What if Shi Huang misunderstood a certain magic or made a mistake in the spell because of the traces of erasure on a second-hand book – the consequences would be unimaginable.

Shi Huang vaguely remembered that a wizard summoned a cow because he read the spell incorrectly, and the cow almost crushed the wizard to death when it appeared. It is true that there may be notes from the previous owner on the second-hand book, but who knows if the notes are correct?

Instead of wasting time on identifying the authenticity of the notes, it is better to go directly to the professor to solve the doubts.
