"Ani, Hermione."
As soon as they walked out of Ella's Owl Shop, they saw Harry and Ron running towards them.
"We are going back. Do you want to go together? Harry will go back to his uncle's house tonight."
Ron extended an invitation to the two of them, but his tone was full of reluctance that Harry was leaving.
Harry's choice of Ani was not surprising.
Now that I have opened my heart and regard No. 4 Privet Drive as my real home, it is natural to be a guest sometimes.
"I don't have anything to do, but Hermione hasn't bought all her things yet."
Ani has nothing to do with visiting the Weasley family. It mainly depends on the girl's decision. After all, her parents are here today.
"Let's go over after we finish shopping? By the way, we need to send our parents home first."
Hermione looked at Ani. The girl had bought a lot of new books, otherwise she wouldn't have spent so long in the bookstore.
But before Aini could respond, Ron rushed to say: "Mr. Granger has agreed to my father's invitation, and they are like old friends now."
Ani grinned after hearing this, Mr. Weasley finally caught a wild Muggle.
"What else are you missing? Why don't we all buy them separately, and we'll be done in a moment." At this time, Harry intervened, which was a good suggestion.
Hermione pulled out a list and handed it to Harry, and took out another 20 Galleons, "Excuse me."
"It's okay, we'll meet at the exit."
Harry responded, pulling Ron with him and running towards Partridge's Crucible Shop.
There was not enough money last school year, so in order to buy more books, many of the girl's utensils were second-hand. Now that she is rich this year, she will naturally need to replace them.
Well, speaking of which, sales of crucibles are still very wide.
For example, Neville, although he was often praised and encouraged by Ani, was still occasionally affected when facing the one who defeated him - Snape.
Not a few crucibles are scrapped during a school year.
The spell "restore to the original" is difficult to apply to crucibles that have been damaged by chemicals. It is better to just buy some second-hand ones.
Ani took Hermione to Madam Malkin's robe store. After a school year, the girl's clothes seemed a little too small.
Supplies, stationery... etc. Hermione had to buy a lot of things this time. Fortunately, with everyone's help, she finally bought everything before 12 o'clock.
"Sorry, I spent too long in the bookstore."
After seeing her parents, the girl couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
I wanted to take them for a walk, but I was so fascinated by the bookstore that I lost track of time.
"Haha, it's as expected. It doesn't matter, Arthur took us to visit a street. Magic is indeed amazing."
Mr. Granger rubbed the top of his daughter's head, causing a blush to appear on the girl's face.
Hearing this, Hermione felt a little relieved. Fortunately, Mr. Weasley made the trip worthwhile for her parents.
When Harry ran towards them with the crucible in his arms, the girl was holding her mother's arm and exchanging interesting facts about the wizarding world with Molly.
The two gentlemen were hiding aside, muttering something.
"Here, a total of 17 Galleons and 3 Sickles. This is the remaining money."
After the girl put everything into her handbag, Harry handed over a small bag.
"Thank you very much. Shall we leave now?"
After taking the purse, Hermione looked around and suddenly found that Ani was missing.
Just as he was about to ask a question, he saw Ron, the twins and Ani walking out of the Jumping Magic Joke Shop.
"Dad, everyone is here."
Ron shouted when he was far away, his stomach was already growling with hunger.
"Oh, okay. Come over here, then, Hubert."
Mr. Weasley led his new friend, who was unfamiliar with the route, out of Diagon Alley, passed through the Leaky Cauldron, and stood by the street.
To be honest, he wanted to invite Mr. Granger to the bar for a drink just now, so that he could avoid his wife and chat with his new friends about his Muggle belongings.
But because the family budget was severely hit by Lockhart, Arthur decisively gave up this idea.
There was no way he could get a cent from Molly now.
Naturally, Mrs. Weasley entertained the women, and soon twelve people gathered around an old-fashioned Ford Anglia.
"Then, please invite the guests first." Mr. Weasley used his left hand to help open the car door.
"Thanks."
After thanking them, the Grangers and their children got into the car first.
After seeing so many items swallowed into the small trunk of the car, they were not worried that it could not accommodate "just" twelve people.
Finally, Mr. Granger took his daughter and sat in the back seat on the right side, against the window.
His wife and Mrs. Weasley were next to each other, and the two of them were already chatting in chat mode.
Next to Molly, Ginny almost stuck her head into her mother's creaking nest——
Next to her was Harry. Although it was a surprise for the little girl, it was also a huge stimulus.
The hot cheek pressed tightly against her mother's body, making Molly mistakenly think that her daughter might have caught a cold and had a fever.
Ron was the last one to get on the bus, and he and his good friend Harry took out a stack of cards and shuffled through them out of boredom, scolding the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor he had never met.
——During the half-day shopping trip, my mother didn’t buy them a snack.
Even among the always poor Weasley family, this shopping trip to Diagon Alley was the worst ever.
It’s all this year’s book list.
Ron was angry, not because he didn't have snacks to eat, but because he felt he had lost face in front of his friends.
Originally, Mrs. Weasley invited Ernie to sit in the back row, but...
The same reason he'd slipped away from Hermione earlier.
It is obvious that teachers have a psychological advantage over students' parents, but when a certain transfiguration professor faces another pair of unknown parents, he always feels flustered, guilty, and palpitation...
Well, there are mostly women and children in the back, so you should show your style and go to the passenger seat to squeeze in with the twins and Percy.
However, his decision was quite popular. The twins and Percy took turns asking him questions about transfiguration, which made the Weasleys quite happy.
With his wife present, Arthur naturally did not dare to drive the car until it was flying. He stopped at the red light and went at the green light, just like an experienced driver who never deducted points.
However, the proposition always came without any warning. When his wife's next words came to his ears, a layer of fine beads of sweat suddenly appeared on the forehead of the anti-gangster fighter, Director Wei, whose forehead was not clearly defined by the top of his head.
"Janice, you Muggles are so smart. A car that looks small from the outside actually has such a big space inside."
Molly patted the seat in the front row and praised it sincerely.
"Ah, this..."
Mrs. Granger was a little confused and subconsciously asked a question.
"Ah hahahaha, maybe it's because of the application of new technology. Both of us are dentists and don't know much about this aspect."
Just when the white sweat on Arthur's forehead was about to turn into a waterfall of sweat, his new friend took over the topic in time and reached out to squeeze his wife's arm through his daughter.
"Well, that's right, I don't quite understand."
As Aini and the students snickered, Mr. Weasley praised in his heart.
I'm determined to make this friend!
