Chapter 155: Diagon Alley

Mrs. Greengrass gave Astoria a helpless look.

"What are you doing hiding behind people? It's so impolite!"

Astoria stuck out her tongue and ran to her mother, begging for mercy coquettishly,

"Mom, aren't you mad at me anymore?"

Flicking her daughter's little forehead, Mrs. Greengrass snarled: "Next time you go out with Mr. Gaunt, just tell me directly, don't play this trick."

When the little witch heard her mother's words, she cheered and fell into her arms.

Dotingly patted her daughter's back, Mrs. Greengrass asked her to go back to rest first, and she had something to say to Alvin.

After Astoria and Daphne left, Mrs. Greengrass said to Alvin:

"Thank you for saving Astoria last year."

"You're welcome, ma'am. Astoria is also my good friend."

After saying these polite words, Mrs. Greengrass's expression also became worried,

"You also know the curse on Astoria. I heard that Mr. Gaunt, you are very good at alchemy. I wonder if there is a way to help her?"

This is why Alvin knew that the other party had left him alone. He nodded slightly. "I can solve the curse problem, but it will take some time."

Hearing Alvin's words, Mrs. Greengrass's expression became excited, and she kept saying words of gratitude.

Alvin also made it unnecessary for the other party to do this. Even without her request, Alvin would not ignore Astoria.

Seeing such a lovely little girl tortured by a curse, Alvin couldn't do it.

After a few conversations between the two, Alvin said goodbye and left.

After returning home, Alvin did nothing else and went to bed after washing up.

The next day, Alvin took Hermione and Cho to Diagon Alley.

Today is not only to buy books and items for school, but Alvin also buys Hermione an early birthday present.

The little witch has been in school for two years and has not had a pet, so Alvin decides to give her the Crookshanks from the original book.

After the three entered the pet shop, Hermione met the big ginger cat at a glance.

The little witch walked in front of the cat and meowed at Hermione twice, who had been dismissive of all the guests.

"Its fur is gorgeous, isn't it?"

Hermione said happily to Alvin, reaching out and stroking the cat's back.

"Buy it if you like it. I think it matches your color very well."

Alvin also said with a smile that he had just checked. Well, it's a female cat.

However, he does not like cats very much, and the hair loss is too severe, which makes a little bit of cleanliness unacceptable.

Hermione nodded, and Alvin went to the clerk to pay the bill and bought some pet supplies and rations.

Especially pet rations. Alvin bought a lot at one time. He didn't expect Fury to like these things so much and would eat some every day.

After the three walked out of the store, Hermione held the big ginger cat in her hand, still named her Crookshanks.

"Let's go to the newly opened shop next to Flourish and Blotts. I heard that they also sell broomsticks there."

Cho suggested, and the other two nodded in agreement.

In fact, Alvin knew what they were selling there and even prepared a surprise for Cho,

But when they arrived, they saw a familiar figure at the door.

"Harry!"

Alvin shouted from across the road, and a little wizard standing in front of the window turned his head and looked.

Harry smiled brightly when he saw that it was Alvin and the others.

When Alvin and the others approached, Harry smiled and greeted: "What a coincidence, Alvin, I didn't expect to meet you here, as well as Hermione and Cho, hello."

"What did you watch just now? So fascinated."

Harry almost put his eyes on the glass, and Alvin asked this question.

Harry pointed to the inside of the store and introduced it in a tone full of envy.

"That new broomstick, Firebolt."

On a special counter in the store, a broom made of Ebony wood is quietly placed inside.

The shape and curves are gorgeous, and they are polished and shiny.

"This broom is so pretty!"

Cho couldn't help but praise, and Harry nodded again and again next to him.

But Hermione didn't respond. After all, she didn't have much fun with Quidditch or flying.

"Since you like it, let's go into the store and look."

Alvin smiled mysteriously and entered the store with a group of people.

At this time, many wizards were already watching the Firebolt, and Alvin secretly used his magic power to squeeze out a path.

He saw the words on the sign below the broom, which said that the national team is only for competitions, and the price is negotiable.

Harry, who had tears of poverty, had returned to Diagon Alley almost every day recently to look at the broom. Still, he had never dared to go in and look at the price.

Today's Alvin shattered his illusions.

Cho is also staring at the Firebolt, eyes full of love.

Alvin looked around and found a clerk, and he asked the clerk to call the boss out.

A middle-aged witch in her forties was brought here by the clerk. After she saw Alvin, she immediately stepped forward and said enthusiastically.

"Mr. Gaunt, welcome. The two Firebolts you ordered were delivered the day before yesterday, and we made them especially for you to squeeze out the Bulgarian order."

Alvin nodded, but he didn't say anything. Harry next to him just shouted: "Alvin, you ordered Firebolts? And two!"

"Yeah, it's just Cho and me. This broom looks much better than the Nimbus series."

The tone was full of Versailles.

Cho covered his mouth in surprise, while Harry on the side was envious, and his eyes turned red.

He can't wait to have sex-change surgery now. Is there a potion for permanent sex change in the magic world?

If he were a girl, would Alvin...

Soon, the owner returned to Alvin with two exquisite walnut boxes.

"Mr. Gaunt, this is your Firebolt. It has been remodeled according to your requirements. Take a look."

After speaking, he handed the box in his hand. Alvin took the box and opened one of them. A red and gold firebolt appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

At the broom's tail, there is also a swan carving, next to which is the name of Cho.

"This is yours, Cho."

Alvin handed the box to Cho. After Cho got it, she happily took out the Firebolt, admiring every detail.

The little witch accepted Alvin's kindness this time, even though she belonged to Alvin, so there was no point in dismissing it.

And Alvin himself opened another box, the Firebolt of the same color. The difference is the engraving on the tail.

Alvin's Firebolt is engraved with a soaring phoenix next to his family crest.

Alvin whispered to Cho, nodding with satisfaction, then putting the box away.

"Cho, let's go. Look at the eyes of the people around you."

Cho looked around, many people were staring at the Firebolt in her hand, and she was also a little scared.

Several people hurried out of the store door, looked at the time, and just at noon, they went to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour.

Sitting under the pergola, everyone ordered Ice Cream, and Harry looked at Alvin eagerly, his tone very flattering.

"Alvin, can you let me touch it? Just a little bit!"

Hermione and Cho looked at Harry warily, and Alvin kicked him directly.

"Get out of the way!"

Harry reacted and hurriedly defended, "I mean Firebolt, let me touch Firebolt."

Alvin angrily threw the Firebolt box at him. Harry took it excitedly and then asked with some doubts.

"How did you get them to suspend the national team order and make you first instead?"

These days, Harry often comes to see the Firebolt. He also knows that this broom is made by hand, and the output is sporadic, almost all of which is wrapped up by the national team.

Alvin shrugged, "The boss of their company and I have some business cooperation, so they significantly helped me to make two."

In fact, it just so happened that this store happened to be the property that Arya and the others had acquired. After Alvin knew about it, he asked Arya and the others to customize two.

When the other party saw that the landlord had spoken, he also wanted to establish a good relationship, so he helped Alvin for a few days.

Harry was stunned. He didn't expect such a relationship, but Alvin is already a famous alchemist in the world, and it is normal to have business dealings with others.

Afterward, a few people chatted about summer vacation life again, and Harry became elated when he said this.

This summer vacation may be the happiest in his life.

Without the harassment of Dursley's Family, there is no Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery.

Every day, Harry can get up leisurely, read today's newspaper, and then come to Diagon Alley to eat some desserts and enjoy Firebolts at the broomstick store.

After returning home, the house elves will also prepare lunch intimately, and he can practice his spells in the afternoon.

It's better than life at Hogwarts, except that no friends are around.

"However, I ran into Fudge recently, and he was a little weird and told me not to go out at random."

Harry remembered Fudge's strange behavior and was a little puzzled. The other party didn't even care that he was inflating his aunt.

Of course, Alvin knew why, but he wouldn't talk to Harry.

The news did nothing but make Harry angry and out of his mind.

When Peter Pettigrew is caught, tell him the truth directly.

On the other hand, Hermione focused on Harry's inflating of his aunt and criticized Harry in a severe tone.

"You know this is a severe breach of the Ministry of Magic? Seriously, I'm surprised you didn't get fired."

Hermione's appearance reminded Alvin of the name given to him by other classmates.

At this time, Hermione really felt like Professor McGonagall, criticizing Harry so much that he couldn't lift his head.

"Pfft!"

Alvin couldn't hold back, he laughed out loud, and Cho and the others cast a strange look.

"It's okay. It's okay. You continue to criticize Harry. He's outrageous!"

Under Harry's sad and angry eyes, Alvin sold him again, turned his head, leaned into Cho's ear, and said something.

After Cho listened, she looked at Hermione strangely, then buried his head in Alvin's arms, babbling.

How could the brilliant Hermione not know what Alvin said to her and slap Alvin angrily?

"Alvin!"

There were shouts in the distance, and Alvin didn't have to look back to know it was George and Fred.

Sure enough, both hands were on Alvin's shoulders after a while.

"Well, after someone becomes an alchemist, he doesn't recognize his old friends."

Fred exaggerated, and George, next to him, sighed.

Alvin slapped both of their hands off, ignoring their antics.

The two of them were not angry either, they did it with a smile, and Ron and Ginny, who came along with them, also sat down.

Ginny was shy and didn't dare to look at Harry across from him.

Ron asked impatiently, "Harry, are you inflating your aunt? That's pretty cool!"

Harry's face darkened. This matter was about to become his black history.

"Ah!"

Hermione screamed, and it turned out that Crookshanks escaped from his embrace and headed straight for Scabbers in Ron's pocket.

Ron was also taken aback and almost fell to the ground, and Scabbers jumped out of Ron's pocket in a panic.

However, he was caught by the fast-eyed Alvin and slipped in front of him.

Scabbers shivered at the sight of Alvin, but Alvin didn't look at it but threw the mouse to Ron directly.

"Ron, look after him, don't let him run around."

Alvin said meaningfully, but everyone didn't notice. He pinched a bunch of freckled hair on his hand.
