Everyday Players at Hogwarts..

Chapter 479: The Resigned Bookstore Manager

"That's it?"

"What's so funny?" Looking at the scene in the air, the impatient Kate was the first to complain.

"I remember Ryan, you are also a third-year student."

"Also, the content of the book 'The Monster Book of Monsters' is very detailed. It is only inferior to Newt's in terms of breadth, but it is a magic book, which makes it better."

"Isn't this a good thing?"

"As for the course of Magical Biology," Penelope questioned the quality of the book itself.

"The fun is yet to come." Ryan had a mysterious smile on his face.

"Wait, maybe this is a textbook for another subject."

"Maybe it's from another grade." Harry shook his head and said with hope.

"Wait, didn't you take Care of Magical Creatures?"

"Or do you just look too mature? You are just first or second grade students?" The manager's voice trembled, revealing endless joy.

However - "We chose it. Also, we are just in our third year this year." Ron's answer ruthlessly shattered the manager's hopes.

Just as the manager lowered his head again and walked towards the iron cage with a thick, knotty cane, Harry could not help but speak.

"The textbooks for each course are assigned by the professor of the corresponding subject. Professor Kelborn should have told me some tips on how to deal with these books."

"After all, if the books remain like this, how can students attend classes?" Harry's words seemed to have touched the bookstore manager's sore spot.

"He didn't say anything."

“Usually when the professor doesn’t say anything, it means he thinks we can’t handle it.”

"Like the Invisibility Book of Invisibility. Professor Wink, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at the time, didn't say anything."

"It was not until we wrote to ask that he tentatively taught us the spell to counter invisibility."

"But the result is that until now, we still haven't found those 200 expensive and troublesome books." Ron was very confused by the bookstore manager's words.

"If you are not capable, can't you invite that professor or corresponding expert?"

"Just a few Galleons."

"And with invisibility, even if the books are invisible, you can still use your hands to feel around inch by inch to find them." Ron's words made Harry nod his head.

"These books are the magic books made by Professor Wink himself."

“No one else can handle it.”

"Professor Wink himself was admitted to St. Mungo's for magic experiments one month after he was invited to become the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. He has not been discharged yet."

"As for finding it with your hands, those books contain the most advanced invisibility techniques. Professor Wenk used them as a special book for seventh graders at the time."

"Which means that finding it by non-magical means is impossible."

"It can be said that even if we empty the bookstore and fill it with dust, we still can't find those books." The bookstore manager sighed.

He resigned himself to his fate and held the two books tightly with his thick-gloved hands, while he used his walking stick to keep away the others who wanted to pounce on him and bite him.

Then he put the two books he took out under his buttocks.

He pulled out a brand new hemp rope from the bookshelf and skillfully tied the two books together.

"Eight Galleons in total."

"Do you need anything else?"

"For your third year, you should also need "Intermediate Transfiguration" and "Standard Spells (Third Level)"

"If you also choose divination or arithmetic divination, you should also need a book called "Seeing the Future through the Mist" by Cassandra Vabrsky." asked the bookstore manager.

He seemed unwilling to give up, as he only sold two books after going through so much hardship.

"Wait, what about ancient runes?"

"Where are the teaching materials it needs?" Harry asked puzzledly.

"The professor for this course has always been Professor Bathsheda Baburin."

"If she hadn't retired, her textbooks would probably have been Advanced Rune Translation, Simple Introduction to Ancient Runes, Magical Symbols, Rune Dictionary, Magical Pronunciation Table, etc."

"But these books are available at Hogwarts, and they are not needed in class, but reference books needed for homework." "If you insist on buying them, I will -"

The bookstore manager was suddenly stunned, and he seemed to have thought of something, "You haven't received the book list yet, have you?

Or are you actually students of Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, or Castellobusher?

But anyway, you will want these two books."

The bookstore manager looked at Harry and Ron with a bitter face.

“We haven’t got the book list yet.”

"We will take these two books."

"We also need the 'Intermediate Transfiguration', 'Standard Spells (Level 3)' and 'Seeing the Future through the Mist' that you just mentioned," Harry said hurriedly.

Ron was very dissatisfied.

"Don't you recognize my face?"

"I'm Ron Weasley!"

"I even drew Skywalker's gold card here in first grade!"

"I was even in the Daily Prophet!"

"How could I be a student of those other three shitty schools?" Ron waved his fist angrily.

"Weasley?"

"The son of the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement?" But the bookstore manager didn't look at Ron. He turned to look at Harry. "Dark hair, Harry Potter!"

But Harry secretly groaned.

He knew what kind of guy Ron was.

He's not a bad guy, but he cares a lot about his reputation.

Especially when he thought he was the center.

You know, Ron didn't mention Harry just now, but the bookstore manager still thought of him and focused all his attention on him.

If this continues, I guess——

Just as Harry was about to pull Ron and cover his mouth, he was surprised to find Ron standing there stupidly.

His face also turned red all of a sudden.

His mouth opened as if he wanted to say something, but only some strange little noises came out, as if his throat was stuck.

The same is true for bookstore managers.

Harry looked in the direction they were looking and saw a beautiful girl.

She walked in gracefully.

Her long, silver hair that fell to her waist like a waterfall, paired with a pair of big blue eyes and a row of neat, white teeth, made her look particularly charming.

"You also think that the other three schools are shit compared to Hogwarts?"

"What about Beauxbatons?" the girl said softly with a smile.

"it's me!"

"That's what I just said!"

"Beauxbatons? It's located in France. You can imagine its quality."

"Don't even mention Hogwarts. I think it can't even compare to the most depraved Durmstrang."

"." Ron covered the mouth of the bookstore manager behind him and spoke flattering words to the strange girl.

"What's your name?"

"Ron Weasley."

"Then you go out and yell 'I, Ron Weasley, am a bastard!' ten times. And don't forget to cast the amplification charm!"

"Yes, sir!" Ron walked out with a dazed look in Harry's shocked eyes.
