"Western Fa!...Western Fa!!...Western Fa!!!"
"Huh?!" Xifa woke up with a start, saw Elise and Luna looking at him angrily, and apologized to them repeatedly.
He agreed to accompany them shopping in Diagon Alley, but he kept wandering away... It wasn't that he was distracted, he was thinking about what happened yesterday and how nervous he felt before returning home.
This is Diagon Alley, and the thrilling verbal game and magic battle with Beamon Fergus happened the night before.
Today, the sun is shining brightly.
Elise and Luna wore twin ponytails, black and white cat ear hairpins, shiny leather shoes, black and white short skirts that combined cuteness and sexiness into one, and black and white patterned stockings on their legs. , walking in front of him playfully.
What? Wear so little in winter? Ah! Don't underestimate magic, it just resists the ordinary low-cold air, and you don't even need anti-cold medicine.
"Hmph! Forget it, you are not familiar with this place anyway, just follow us obediently!"
Seeing that Xifa showed signs of being absent-minded again, Elise sighed, and her warm breath turned into a puff of white smoke when encountering the cold air, which was so obvious.
Years of tacit understanding made Luna understand Elise's unclear expression. She covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly. Elise pulled her angrily and signaled her to leave quickly and ignore Xifa.
Looking at Luna's helpless expression, Xifa sighed and quickly followed the two of them.
——————
Xifa kept thinking absentmindedly, naturally because of a series of things that happened yesterday.
Yesterday morning, when the sun was rising high, Xifa suddenly opened his eyes in the school hospital.
A familiar place, but what was different from last time was that this time Elise and Luna were lying next to them.
He opened the door and came to the monitoring office on the side. The person on duty was Ms. Pomfrey.
Xifa asked about the status of her two daughters. She said that the two daughters were just sleeping normally and it was best to wake up naturally.
This also dispelled Xifa's idea of waking the two of them up.
After putting aside his worries about the two of them, Xifa was surprised to find that he could walk again and his physical fitness seemed to have recovered a bit.
Asking Pomfrey, she told herself that after careful examination, Mr. Bohan came to the conclusion that Xifa's mental power and blood power were removed before, but his magic power was not affected, causing his body to be loaded Can't get that magic. Yesterday, his magic was drained away by magic, allowing his body to take a breath and partially recover. Of course, it doesn't stop there. Even if he exercises, his physical fitness will not become stronger.
Xifa was confused when he heard it. It took him a long time to rationalize this sentence.
Is it just that your body and magic power have reached a balance again? The magic power decreases a little, and the physique increases a little.
Although he felt that such a conclusion was absurd, it was the fact, so Xifa held his nose and accepted it.
Now I can walk normally and run short distances, and my physical condition is much better than before when I struggled to walk.
There were no other questions, so he told Pomfrey that if the two girls woke up, just tell them to go to Ogg's cabin to wait for him. He wanted to go find Professor Dumbledore.
It's winter, and the lawn is no longer green, but golden. There is magic that can make the grass and trees green again, but no one wants to cast magic on the entire lawn all the time.
She waved her hand and cast magic to isolate the cold air, and headed straight to Dumbledore's office.
In the office, Cifer's conversation with Dumbledore was not pleasant.
Although Dumbledore repeatedly emphasized that he was doing it for the greater good, as for Elise and Luna, he let them pass just to test the enemy's reaction. His original intention was not to let them die. He also planted a delaying protection spell for the two of them.
It was okay to deceive Harry, but Xifa obviously didn't believe it.
Seeing that Xifa's attitude did not soften, Dumbledore sighed deeply. He swore an oath on the spot that he would never test Xifa's attitude again.
This made Xifa's expression slightly relieved.
Whether Dumbledore wanted to test Xifa's choice or to determine whether Beamon really caused a series of events last semester, Xifa was actually not sure.
But Dumbledore actually admitted that he was testing Xifa and solemnly apologized to him, which made Xifa's resentment not knowing how to express it.
Dumbledore is a strong man who can face criticism calmly and has given himself enough respect. He has already apologized and admitted his mistake, how can I still force him to kneel down?
All this is because he is not strong enough... Xifa thought for a while, and for the first time he firmly asked to learn black magic.
It seems to be guilt in his heart, perhaps recognition of Xifa. When he heard Xifa ask about learning powerful black magic, Dumbledore agreed without hesitation.
It's better to buy one and get one free, uh... The professor gave Xifa the Fierce Fire Curse and the All-Curse Curse.
Obviously, he wanted the three of them to learn the latter, and then try to learn and master the former.
Satisfied, Xifa said goodbye to Dumbledore and came to Ogg's hut.
Things went so smoothly that the two girls hadn't even woken up yet.
After drinking several pots of tea with Ogg and chatting about countless interesting things about magical animals, the two girls came together.
The four of them chatted happily for a while. When the three of them stood up to leave, Ogg gave the three of them some materials he collected in the Forbidden Forest as a reward for saving their lives last time.
"Originally, I had a gift for you as a Christmas gift today. However, it encountered some problems during transportation, so I had to give it to you when school starts."
...
After saying goodbye to Ogg, the three of them walked towards the castle. At the entrance of the hall, Xifa, who was moved by the scene, thought of Beamon's last mouth shape again.
Father...
His father is Vice Principal Brandt and Elise’s grandfather. Why, he wants to give us a seed of doubt? Making us question the dedicated Vice-Headmaster of Hogwarts?
You think I am Harry, and when you see Snape, you think he is the villain... In her heart, Xifa disdained Beamon's clumsy method.
Wait, I seem to have forgotten to ask the professor if he told the vice president about them...
He has nothing to do with Beamon Baganzi. He cannot be his father. If that is true, Xifa promises that he can commit suicide on the spot and travel again, taking Elise and Luna with him.
Wait, could it be Luna's grandfather...
That night, in Xifa's dormitory, Xifa started, and Luna told how she thought of her grandfather.
He raised her up and cut off all contact with her in order to investigate the death of her parents. Maybe he's already sleeping somewhere...
As the two comforted her, the heavy topic gradually turned into the three of them sharing their childhood lives.
When Xifa introduced how he lived in Muggle society, the two couldn't help but feel envious.
Xifa also suddenly realized that it was time for him to go back and take a look. He proposed to the two of them that he would go home tomorrow to visit his adoptive mother for a few days.
Luna was a little reluctant when she heard this, while Elise said directly, "Then let's go back with you to spend the winter vacation!"
The above is why three people appeared in Diagon Alley...
——————
From this point of view, there are still a lot of things going on during this holiday...and whether it is Luna's grandfather...there is no news, which is very suspicious.
Following the two of them to the front of a store, Xifa subconsciously followed them up the steps and entered the warm room.
Awakening Potion, Animagus, Fire Curse, The Ultimate Curse of All Curses...
Pooh! Think about what gifts you will bring for your younger siblings and adoptive mother!
Clothes, food, books, tools...
"Xifa! This is my first time using the Floo Network! I'm not so confused now! How long has it been!"
Luna stopped and saw that Xifa was still walking forward with his head lowered. Seeing that he was about to hit the counter, Luna stretched out her hand and pulled the confused Xifa back and scolded him in a low voice.
"Sorry, I haven't been home for a long time, I'm a little excited..." Xifa said sheepishly.
"We weren't that excited to go to your house! Besides, didn't you write down the list on paper last night? What are you still thinking about?"
After the words fell, the scene fell into silence. Xifa opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Elise also realized that she had said the wrong thing. She turned her back to Xifa and the tips of her ears were red.
"Welcome~" Fortunately, a young witch appeared in front of the counter and broke the deadlock. "Do all three of you want to buy a broom?"
"Yes!" Xifa's mind finally came online, and he stood up and replied.
"What are your requirements for a broom? Daily use, competition, economical..." The young witch began to introduce her own broom categories.
There are so many...I thought there were only two models for sale: Volkswagen and top-of-the-line models...
Xifa, who has difficulty choosing, turns to Elise for help. She is the best at Quidditch among the three, and she should know the best about broomsticks.
"Is the latest model Comet 180 in stock?!" Elise spoke forcefully, interrupting the chattering salesperson.
"Yes, yes! The lady wants to buy..." The witch realized that a big customer had arrived. She put away her blunt words and said emotionally with a bright smile on her face.
...
After some haggling, the three of them saved a large sum of gold Galleons. Faced with the shady dealers who raise prices all the time, Luna's series of bargaining methods made the witch at the front desk of the regular store almost cry to death.
Fortunately, Luna also generously left her with good performance and income.
The money cut off was naturally not enough to buy magic materials, but when converted into pounds at Gringotts, it was a large amount. The group of goblins welcomed this, because wizards rarely do this.
Every year, many new wizards exchange pounds for gold galleons. For fairies who like metals and rare treasures, it is undoubtedly a waste of paper in exchange for their own treasures. If a wizard was willing to exchange gold galleons for this piece of waste paper, it would be enough to make them smile from ear to ear.
After all, for a dark wizard who truly mixes in Muggle society, a Soul Imperius Curse and a Forgetting Curse can make him prosperous in the Muggle world. And those wizards with family backgrounds would not come to Gringotts to exchange Muggle currency.
From Old Tom to the center of London, the three of them were going to buy gifts for the people in the orphanage.
Naturally, buying gifts for members of a Muggle orphanage cannot be products from the wizarding world, which is why the three of them exchanged a large sum of pounds.
Carrying a large amount of banknotes, the three of them started a shopping spree in the Muggle world.
