Buying clothes, hats, and cloaks is the easiest thing to do.
Because the new students at Hogwarts all have the same style, John didn't plan to give Hermione any special features in this regard, so he decided after measuring her height.
But the cauldron, protective gloves, potion containers and other learning supplies were all purchased from the top quality.
"Don't think this is showing off. The better the material of the gloves, the higher the safety when doing magic experiments... In fact, wizards die every year due to experimental accidents, and there are even more injuries. Sometimes a little bit of material The difference may determine whether your hand can still stay on your body... Of course, as a freshman, you will definitely not be exposed to such dangerous experiments, but you will not be a freshman forever! And crucibles and other materials with excellent materials , has a great impact on the success rate and quality of the potion, and the utensils are related to the preservation of the potion." John explained to Hermione.
And Hermione listened very patiently.
"Is being a wizard so dangerous?" Mrs. Granger couldn't help but feel worried when she heard words like death and injury.
"Everything has risks, not to mention the extraordinary power of wizards? And just like ordinary laboratory experiments, although there are risks, in fact as long as the operation is standardized, it is safe." John comforted with a smile road.
"Yes, she is lucky that her child can embark on an extraordinary path. What we can do is not to let her worry too much about her family!" Regarding this point, Mr. Granger was very open-minded and comforted his wife. road.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of her as much as possible in school!" John also promised, he would have to prepare more life-saving props for Hermione later on, which was not a difficult task for him.
If the functional diversity of the magic props produced is compared, the priests will definitely not be able to compare with the wizards who are good at this.
But when it comes to saving lives alone, wizards are no better than priests.
John is still very confident about this.
But there is no rush, there are still a few months until Hogwarts starts.
Moreover, John didn’t know what good things he would draw out of the three career draws and a Myriad World draw that he had obtained by completing the mission before.
As the name suggests, the career lottery means that you can draw any items and abilities related to your career. This range is relatively clear.
The Ten Thousand Realms Lottery allows you to draw any items and abilities from all the worlds provided by the system... This range is too wide, and what you can draw depends entirely on your fate.
After most of the shopping, it quickly came to the last, more exciting moment.
That's when it's time to buy the most important thing for a novice wizard...a wand.
But unexpectedly, something unexpected happened to John and his party at Ollivander's Wand Shop.
Compared to other stores where there are more or less other customers, Ollivander's Wand Store seems particularly quiet.
After all, although the wand is a necessity for wizards, it is not a consumable.
Unless it is damaged due to special reasons, the repurchase rate is extremely low.
So when John and his party walked into the store, the sound of a box shaking crazily in a corner of the store immediately attracted their attention?
"What's in that?" Hermione looked at the trembling long box with some fear.
"Don't worry, kid, that's a magic wand. It seems to be very excited about your arrival - this is very rare!" An old man in a brown robe suddenly appeared in front of a group of people. Side replied, startling the Grangers.
"Hello Mr. Ollivander, we are here to buy a wand for this child, but it seems we don't have to choose now!" John nodded towards the other party.
By the way, does Hermione's wand move so loudly? Harry Potter doesn't get this treatment, right?
"Oh, of course, what is this child's name?" Ollivander asked, nodding.
"Hermione, Hermione Granger!" Hermione answered without John.
"Are they the students who will enroll this year?" Ollivander asked again.
"Yes!" John replied.
"Okay, please wait! Ah, I found it!" After asking, Ollivander began to look through a roster on the counter - this roster was a copy of the Hogwarts Admission Book list.
At Hogwarts, there are magical items called the Book of Admission and the Pen of Acceptance.
Every year, the names of new children born in the UK with magical talents will be automatically recorded by this book and this pen as soon as possible.
And this is also the admissions list for Hogwarts.
Ollivander also uses this list to provide the young wizards who belong to Hogwarts with the first wand at a discount - no matter what age they buy it, as long as it is the first wand in their lives. With a new wand, you can enjoy this treatment.
A typical example is Ron. Because his family was too poor and could not even afford seven Galleons when he entered school, he could only use his brother Charlie Weasley's old wand for his first wand.
It wasn't until Arthur Weasley won the "big prize" of seven hundred galleons later that Ron enjoyed this benefit that was two years late.
After confirming that Hermione was on the list, Ollivander walked towards the box that kept vibrating.
As soon as he opened it, the wand inside jumped out and flew towards John.
...Looking at the wand in his hand, John couldn't help but fell silent.
Is this thing looking for me, not Hermione?
After John received the wand, the original wand in his sleeve began to become restless. If John hadn't been able to control it enough, he might have flown out to show off the guy who was trying to steal its master from him. .
"...Merlin's beard, I've never seen anything like it. Let me see, it's silver basswood, thirteen inches... The core of the wand is a unicorn horn? Ah, I didn't make this wand , is my grandfather's masterpiece!" Looking at this wand, Ollivander said with wide eyes and disbelief.
Ollivander's wand shop is almost full of wands, which are not only made by Ollivander alone, but also include the inheritance left by their family for generations, but the number of wands of this type is now very small.
The one in John's hand happens to be one of them.
The core of a unicorn horn? John was quite surprised to hear this material.
"Is it a raw horn or a shed horn?" John asked.
In his previous life, John had seen on the Internet that someone questioned the fact that the horn of the Diagon Alley unicorn only sold for twenty-one galleons.
The price is not cheap, but compared to a pint of Acromantula venom costing 100 galleons, it is a bit expensive.
In particular, the Acromantula's materials are expensive just because of its high danger.
The unicorn is a real rare magical animal, and its hair is a bit cheap even for twenty-one galleons.
But the hair is all over the body, and it can grow even if it is plucked out, but it only has one horn!
But after John arrived in this world, he knew why.
Because twenty-one galleons is just the shed horn of a unicorn.
What is a shed angle? This means that as the unicorn grows, the horn shell automatically falls off.
This stuff, like rhino horns and deer antlers, sheds a layer of skin every year and a half.
It's just that the magic power in the horns you shed doesn't retain much, and it leaks out quickly, so it's not worth much. Basically it is used to make potions.
That's why they are sold so cheaply at 21 Galleons each, which is not much more expensive than gross.
But raw horns are different.
A raw horn is a complete horn removed from a unicorn.
Unless it was poached, you could only get it after the unicorn died - but since it was made into a wand by the Ollivander family and placed in the shop, it probably wasn't poached.
The magic power contained in the unicorn's horn is extraordinary, and its value is at least a hundred times that of the shed horn.
"Of course it's a raw horn... I wonder what you call it?" Ollivander's answer confirmed John's guess, and then he looked John up and down carefully and asked.
