The Admiral of Hogwarts

#17 - Big Purchase

The wand that Hugo chose, or according to Ollivander, he was chosen by a 12-inch silver lime wand with a dragon heartstring core.

"Silver lime? I seem to remember that this type of wand is suitable for seers or wizards skilled in Legilimency." After learning about the material of the wand in his hand, Hugo recalled the information he had seen in his previous life. "But that makes sense, after all, in this world, I can be considered a seer."

Hermione's wand was an 11 and a half inch walnut wand, also with a dragon heartstring core. After both of them had successfully chosen their wands, Hugo heard a victorious voice in his mind. "What did you just do? I noticed that your fate points, which were previously reset to zero, now have one more point."

"Maybe it's because we both chose our wands just now," Hugo said. "Originally, my sister's wand should have been made of vine wood, but now it's walnut. And for wizards, wands are an indispensable item. So I think this should be the reason why I suddenly gained a fate point."

"You have a point," Victory said, sounding a little dejected. "It's a pity I couldn't stay by your side, otherwise, I might have found more opportunities to gain fate points."

Because it wasn't easy for Hood to reorganize the group of illegal immigrants in the Whitechapel area, Victory had been staying with Hood for the past few days to help her deal with those chores, so she didn't come shopping. After all, according to her idea, things that weren't written in the novels shouldn't cause any fluctuations in fate.

"It's okay, I'm going to Hogwarts soon, there will be plenty of opportunities to gain fate points," Hugo quickly comforted her after hearing Victory's dejected words. "And next, I don't think buying clothes or dry pot will affect fate."

"You're right," Victory replied after thinking for a moment after hearing Hugo's comfort. "After all, the most important thing for ordinary wizards in this world is the wand. And other things of the Deathly Hallows level shouldn't be something you guys can encounter."

After ending the conversation with Victory, Hugo noticed that Ollivander had already collected the 15 galleons and 6 sickles for the wands from Hugo's parents. Then he handed the two boxes containing the wands to Hugo and his sister.

Obviously, as an essential item for wizards, averaging just over 7 galleons per person is a significantly cheaper price. Hugo suspected that there should be a subsidy from the Ministry of Magic as one of the benefits of the wizarding world.

"Walnut often chooses the most intelligent wizards first, while silver lime represents a tendency towards a certain mysterious nature. According to wizarding legends, the holders of silver lime wands often enjoy a very high status." While handing out the boxes, Ollivander introduced the characteristics of these wands to Hugo and his sister.

"And the dragon heartstring core is often considered to make the wand more powerful, and the spells cast are more gorgeous. But on the other hand, the loyalty of this type of wand is the worst, and it is also easy to turn to dark magic. So children, you must guard the bottom line of your hearts when learning magic!"

After listening to the wand master's warning, the Granger family left the wand shop and began to purchase all the necessary items for school on the street. According to the shopping list attached to the notice, they patronized bookstores, pharmacies, cauldron shops, and a series of other shops.

When they passed the Quidditch Supplies shop, Hermione didn't show any interest in the Nimbus Two Thousand in the window, but Mr. Granger ran back to the entrance of the Quidditch Supplies shop and stared at that broom for a long time after buying the cauldron, the necessary suitcase, and the specified potions while waiting for the two ladies.

"I think flying in the sky on a broom must be more exciting than a Harley motorcycle." After seeing his mother and Hermione walking out of the bookstore with a thick stack of books, Hugo pulled his father, who seemed a little reluctant to leave, away from the window and reunited with his mother and sister. As a result, on the way, Mr. Granger first babbled about the various specifications of the broom, and then talked about the high-horsepower motorcycle he had ridden when he was young.

Hugo expressed his understanding of his father's behavior, after all, the pursuit of speed is imprinted in the bones of many people. It has nothing to do with whether they master magic, age, or gender.

"Why did you buy so many books?" Mr. Granger asked, feeling a little strange after reuniting with the two ladies, "I don't remember there being so many books on that list."

"Because Hermione bought some extra books, her quota is now basically spent on these books, except for leaving money to buy various necessities and..." Mrs. Granger said, shaking her head with a smile as she looked at her daughter. "And she still has several books she hasn't bought yet."

"My quota can be given to my sister. As long as she is willing to share the books with me, then half of the money for the books can be considered mine," Hugo volunteered after hearing his mother's words.

After all, in his impression, Hermione has always been a person who loves reading and learning. Whether it was the one he read about in the novel in his previous life or the one in his impression in this life. This is why she is able to achieve a high level of learning despite only having ordinary-level intelligence. Therefore, Hugo quite agrees with his sister's taste in books.

And getting to know a strange world through books that record the knowledge of this world is a very good way, so Hugo is willing to share the money for buying books with his sister to share these new books.

"Very good." Mrs. Granger nodded with a smile after hearing Hugo's words. She was very happy that her children could maintain a good sibling relationship, and then counted out a portion of money from her pocket and handed it to Hermione, "You can now buy the books you just liked but didn't buy."

Because this time it was buying the books she had already liked, Hermione only spent five or six minutes walking out with seven or eight books, and then put them in the two suitcases that Hugo and Mr. Granger had just bought that had space-extension charms on them.

Because the sun had already slowly risen at this time, the Granger family, who had been shopping for more than an hour and felt thirsty, sat under a large umbrella on the side of the road after buying a frozen ice cream ball that could float in the air for each person, eating while looking at the shopping list.

"We only have clothes and pets left to buy now," Mr. Granger said, looking at the list, "You said you didn't want to buy pets for the time being, so we'll go buy clothes directly after we finish these ice creams."

"Where should we go to buy them? I seemed to see two places selling clothes along the way," Mrs. Granger said.

"Let's go to the shop called Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions," Mr. Granger thought for a moment and said, "Our family isn't going to buy those second-hand clothes, and when I passed the entrance of Twilfitt and Tattings just now, I saw a customer inside looking at me with very unfriendly eyes. I suspect that's where those racialists among the wizards are concentrated."
