Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

Chapter 41 The Beginning of Everything, Journey to Diagon Alley

"First-year students need: three sets of plain work robes, a plain pointed hat for day use, a pair of protective gloves (made of dragon skin or similar materials), a winter cloak..."

At the entrance of Madam Malkin's robe store, Draco Malfoy was reading the uniform requirements on the book list word by word, while commenting in a long and slow voice: "Ha, so many sets of clothes! How difficult it is! Don’t they have enough money to buy a self-cleaning wizard’s robe?”

"The robe I wear can not only clean itself, but can also transform into different shapes according to my preferences..."

"Not everyone can afford such a robe. Its price is probably equivalent to several months' salary for most people."

Balon frowned slightly, probably having a basic understanding of Draco Malfoy's character. Avada, on the other hand, looked down at his clothes that were stained with ashes in embarrassment - among the three of them, he was the only one whose clothes didn't clean themselves, and it was hard for one of his students to clean them directly in front of everyone. A new one.

They were teleported directly to Diagon Alley through the fireplace of Shafiq's house. This was also the first time Avada used floo powder - he didn't understand the structure, so he planned to buy a small spoonful later and go back to study it. Can it help him make a breakthrough in space magic?

As soon as they arrived in Diagon Alley, Mr. Shafik and Lucius immediately went to the pre-sale booth of Nimbus 2000 and talked to the person in charge there about the new magic wood; Narcissa and Mrs. Shafik went to buy German wood together. Draco and Balon were given the books and equipment they needed for the new semester; while Draco was left at Madam Malkin's robe shop to pick out clothes, so Avada and Balon were also left behind to look after Draco, and more by the way. Communicate and communicate...

"What about Slytherin? Do Slytherin students also have to wear these clothes?" Malfoy asked again.

"Of course, all Hogwarts students have to wear such clothes, but after you complete the sorting, the color of the lining will be changed according to your house, and some more accessories will be issued..."

"Okay, honey, you can come and try on clothes."

A short, fat, smiling witch walked over here and interrupted the conversation between Baron and Malfoy: "The fitting room has been vacated. Please come in, my dear."

"oh."

Malfoy nodded calmly and followed Mrs. Malkin into the fitting room.

"It's unimaginable."

Balon held up his chin and sighed: "I have seen a lot of arrogant people in Slytherin who look down on people from other houses, but this is the first time I have seen someone who even dislikes their clothes..."

"After all, he is the only son of the Malfoy family, so it is normal for him to have high demands on material life." Avada continued: "But it would probably be better to go to Hogwarts. The experience of casting spells in person is enough to make him forget about those clothes." s things……"

"That's not necessarily the case." Balon shook his head and said: "You still don't understand the current situation of Slytherin. There are many people who look down on top students because of their blood origin. The Ravenclaw girl who tied for first place with me last semester just because He's a Muggle, and he's been discussed privately by many guys... Sigh."

Avada shook her head and didn't answer any more. He can understand Balon's mood - he is surrounded by a large group of people with conflicting ideas every day. The key is that in Balon's eyes, they are not only not enemies, but also objects in need of help and change... It's strange that he is not tired.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore - look, another new student has arrived. Judging from the performance, it should be a Muggle born who has been exposed to the wizarding world for the first time..."

Perhaps because he felt that sitting still was not an option, Balon simply put aside his worries for the time being and observed the surroundings. Then at a glance, he saw a thin boy with bangs covering his forehead and round glasses timidly stepping into the robe. store, looking around nervously and curiously...

Avada followed Baron's gaze and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

Everything is finally about to begin.

"Come to try on new clothes?" He raised his hand gently and said hello: "There are already people in the fitting room, and Mrs. Malkin is there too. You may have to wait for a while."

"I know, thank you very much."

After the boy stumbled and thanked him, he stood there nervously, as if he didn't even know where to put his hands.

"Wait, are you..."

Baron's eyes suddenly became sharp. He looked at the man from head to toe, then focused on his forehead. After seeing something through the gap in his bangs, he asked hesitantly: "Harry ·Potter?”

"Yes, it is."

Probably because he had been recognized by many people, Harry didn't show too much surprise.

Balon stood up immediately, walked forward quickly, and stretched out his hand to Harry: "Slytherin, Balon Shafiq, second year, it is an honor to meet you, Mr. Harry Potter. .”

"Hufflepuff, Ken, second year. Nice to meet you, Mr. Potter."

Avada also stood up and bowed with Harry - like all the wizards in Britain, he also accepted Lily Potter and Harry's love.

"Hello."

Harry still looked a little nervous. After carefully shaking hands with Baron and Avada, he paused for a moment before asking, "I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand what you just said. Sly... and Hermione What are those strange... things?"

"That's the name of the house." Balon explained: "Hogwarts is divided into four houses, namely Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. Determine your own The academy will be the first thing you do when you get into school and you’ll know when the time comes.”

"Then how did they determine my college?"

“According to each person’s qualities.”

This time it was Avada who answered: "Although there are many interpretations of the qualities that symbolize the academy, it can generally be thought that Gryffindor represents courage, Hufflepuff represents kindness, Ravenclaw represents wisdom, and Slytherin Represents ambition..."

"There's also honor and responsibility," Barone added.

"Well, yes, with honor and responsibility." Avada nodded.

"Then I may only be suitable for Hufflepuff... I think that except for my bad intentions, nothing else is very good."

Harry looked more relaxed, spoke less stumblingly, and was even in the mood to laugh at himself.

"That would be a great honor." Avada smiled: "When the time comes, I will be the first to shout, 'We have Potter!'."

Of course, he was just joking. Anyway, he knew that Harry's destination was either Gryffindor or Slytherin - but it was best not to go to Slytherin, where there were many spiritual supporters of Voldemort. Faced with the "murderer" who killed Voldemort He probably won't look good.

I just don’t know if Harry really ran into Slytherin, would Snape tearfully clear the hourglass of his house’s scores and stage a “kill myself” scene?

"Hey, Harry!"

Suddenly, a loud and rough voice broke into the robe shop, followed by a bearded man who was twice the size of an ordinary person, holding a drink in his hand: "I bought you a drink Here comes a refreshing drink. The minecart at Gringotts is really uncomfortable, I hope this makes you feel better... Ken? Are you here?"

"Long time no see, Hagrid."

Avada smiled and said hello, and Balon also nodded - Avada was caught by Hagrid once when they went to the Forbidden Forest to collect materials last semester, but the two have a lot in common about magical creatures, and they also exchanged words during the holidays. We have exchanged several letters, so the relationship is not bad.

"Oh, you already know each other? Then I don't need to introduce you again. This is Harry Potter..."

Hagrid's little eyes looked at Avada with a hint of teasing: "In a sense, he is your nemesis."

Avada:…

Okay, even the simple and honest Hagrid started it, so this joke is hard to get past.

"I came out...why are there so many people?"

While they were talking, Draco Malfoy had already walked out of the fitting room carrying a folded wizard robe. At first glance, he saw that the store was packed to the brim (an illusion caused by Hagrid's size). He was surprised, but after taking a closer look and recognizing Hagrid, his brows knitted together.

"Let's go, dad and the others should be waiting for us."

Malfoy pulled the sleeves of Avada and Balon and walked out without looking at Hagrid and Harry. The two looked at each other in confusion, said goodbye to Harry and Hagrid in a hurry, and followed them.

"That big guy, my dad told me about that."

After he was completely away from the robe shop, Malfoy stopped, frowned and said, "He was once expelled from Hogwarts for privately breeding dangerous magical creatures, and could only build a wooden house on the edge of the school to live in. That man Dangerous, rude, often drunk, and once burned his own bed... we'd better stay away from him."

Avada opened her mouth and was about to explain to him that Hagrid was actually very kind and friendly, but was suddenly interrupted by a voice: "Draco, you have bought your books and school supplies, now it's time to pick out your wand. Got it!"
