MTL - Harry Potter and the Badger Who Can’t Magic-Chapter 5 unexpected encounter
While Auston looked at the children, the other side was also looking at their siblings. Mrs Weasley pointed to the red-haired children and said
"They are my children, this is George, this is Fred, and they are twins who are in second year at Hogwarts this year. This is Ron, who has just received a letter from Hogwarts." She He pointed to the youngest red-haired girl and said, "She is Ginny, my youngest daughter."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Auston and Sissy, raised her head and asked Mrs. Brown, "Are you twins too?"
Mrs. Brown replied with a smile, "Yes, the older one is the elder brother, called Auston, and the younger one is the younger sister, called Sissy."
Mrs. Weasley approached and hugged Sissy kindly, "What a beautiful boy, you inherited all the beautiful things from the Brown family, beautiful blond hair and blue eyes."
Qian Qian shyly said thanks.
The three Weasley boys were all staring at Sissy, looking at her embarrassedly, Auston pulled Sissy behind him and stared back ill-naturedly.
Several boys also died down and shriveled. Mrs. Brown took Mrs. Weasley's hand and chatted about the home, she asked
"Why don't you see your husband?"
"Oh, our third son needs a new wand, and his dad took him to buy it."
Mrs. Brown expressed her doubts, "Third son, God, Molly, how many children do you have?"
Mrs. Weasley said embarrassedly, grabbing the corner of her clothes.
"There are two sons, the eldest and the second have graduated."
"My God, seven children, it's really hard work!"
Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Weasley continued to chat, but Sissi couldn't sit still. She tugged at Dad's shirt and whispered.
"Dad, let's go, there are still a lot of things to buy"
Mr. Brown looked at the watch on his wrist, and after drinking the remaining butterbeer in the glass, he interrupted the two ladies who were chatting hotly.
"I'm sorry, although it's not a gentleman's way to interrupt the two ladies who are chatting hot, but I'm really sorry, we don't have time for Daisy."
Mrs. Brown also apologized, then dragged their siblings to the back of the Leaky Cauldron. The three little boys still followed Sissi back.
Reaching the back wall of the Leaky Cauldron, Mrs. Brown took out her wand and tapped three times on a brick above the trash can. After a while, the brick she tapped shook, and the other bricks centered on that brick also moved quickly. , and before them an archway appeared before them, leading to a winding, cobbled street with no end in sight. There are all kinds of strange shops on both sides of the road, with moving signs that have been enchanted, and people come and go on the street, all of them are people wearing various cloaks, and there are many of them who are dressed normally like the Brown family. Auston guessed that most of them were Muggles who had children at home and received notices, because their eyes were so busy that they could not wait to fly to various shops, obviously it was their first time here.
After the arches, Mr. Brown quipped, "Welcome to Diagon Alley!"
When Qian Qian saw the scene in front of her, her face flushed with excitement. She ran to her father and took his hand and begged.
"Dad! Dad! Can we go shopping first?"
"Okay!" Mr. Brown nodded excitedly at first, then looked up at Mrs. Brown with a sullen face, and cleared his throat.
"Well, I mean, not yet. We have to go to Gringotts to exchange some money first. The currency of the wizarding world and the British pound cannot be used interchangeably."
"Oh!" Qian Qian also nodded with a sudden realization.
The mother with a black face, the father who was off the line, and the super supportive sister, Auston didn't know where to complain, so he stood up and proposed.
"That's it, Dad, Mom and I will go to Gringotts to exchange money. Dad, take Qian Qian around to find out where all the things we want to buy are. We will meet here in half an hour."
Mr. Brown first took a peek at his wife, and seeing her approving smile, he was relieved and agreed.
"Yes, very good, I just thought so too."
After that, the four parted ways, and the little guy, Qian Qian, took his father's hand and jumped to the crowd.
On the way to Gringotts, Mrs. Brown sighed and said, "Oss, you are always so sensible. I hope you can take good care of your sister when you get to Hogwarts."
"My mother." Auston looked up at his mother and answered seriously.
When they came to a snow-white building, the goblins in scarlet and gold uniforms in front of the bronze gate bowed to them and saluted. Even if Auston saw the goblin's calm face for the first time, Mrs. Brown's face was so calm. Very surprised. In fact, Auston has complained a million times in his heart. This goblin is really ugly, especially when it smiles and has big yellow teeth, it almost made him spit out the meal the night before. But at this time, his face was still expressionless, joking. If he showed disgust and made the goblins feel that you insulted him, that would be a very bad thing.
They quickly entered Gringotts and saw the classic words on the silver inner door: 'Come in, stranger, but beware of what will happen if you are insatiable, asking for nothing, and you will be punished the most severely , so if you wish to take from our underground vaults a fortune that was never yours, you have been warned, thief, that you will not bring treasure, but evil. ’
Auston scoffed, the goblin's IQ wasn't that high, and no matter how heavily guarded it was, wasn't it also successful twice later.
When they entered the Gringotts Hall, a goblin greeted them, and Mrs. Brown followed it to exchange money, leaving Auston to wait in the lounge area.
The bored Auston picked up the Daily Prophet next to him and looked.
There isn't much substance in the newspapers, other than a critique of the efficiency of the Ministry of Magic and a new book promoting Gilderoy Lockhart's embroidered pillow, both signed by Rita Skeeter, Auston I deeply doubt that Rita Skeeter's jumping clown is definitely Lockhart's fan sister! Think goosebumps all over.
"Are you also a student at Hogwarts?" A clear female voice asked Auston, who was reading the newspaper.
Auston looked up and saw a little girl who looked about his age, with thick brown hair and a pair of front teeth. While Alston was still confused, the girl reached out to him
"Hello, my name is Hermione Granger."
Auston's jaw dropped in surprise. There are surprises everywhere in life, and you can meet the protagonist everywhere.
He was stunned for a while before he could react. He held Hermione's outstretched hand and responded.
"Hello, Auston Brown. Freshman going to Hogwarts."
