Hogwarts Raven

Chapter 15: Magic, here I come!
The weather is a bit cold.

Ian looked back at the door that was gradually closing, then looked up at the stained words "Olivander's Wand Shop". He felt like he had discovered the biggest scam in the wizarding world.

"What a cunning villain."

Ian muttered and judged Ollivander. He even felt that since Voldemort had so many followers, it was probably not just Voldemort who would use the big melon to threaten others.

I'm afraid Ollivander has to take some blame!

Think about it!

If you met a fortune teller when you were in your teens, and he told you that you would become a general in the future, and then when you grew up you happened to meet Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

Who can withstand this?
I think most people would mistakenly regard tragedy as destiny!

"The root cause of the chaos in the wizarding world has been found!"

Ian felt that based on his discovery, he would be able to write an excellent paper, but it was a pity that Hogwarts did not have a journal that could publish his intelligence.

"Perhaps I should consider the Daily Prophet. The remuneration for such a famous newspaper must be high." Ian thought divergently while looking around for Snape.

The unreliable professor did not abandon Ian and leave. He saw Snape standing outside a shop, so he quickly trotted towards Snape.

"Professor, can you teach me how to write a wizard paper?"

Ian felt that if he could add the name of a Hogwarts professor to his article, the chances of it being selected and published in the Daily Prophet would be greater.

Maybe you can get a little more in royalties.

"Mr. Prince, I am not interested in your childish and stupid thoughts. Now, you should choose a pet that can help you with your studies."

Snape glanced coldly at Ian's wand in his trouser pocket.

immediately.

He raised his hand and knocked on the glass window of the shop in front of him. At this time, Ian realized that this was a pet shop with many pets locked in cages.

There were cats, toads, owls, lizards and mice, many varieties, and even some small animals with magical blood, but none of them made Ian feel excited.

True.

Ian still has some complex about owls.

However, there are actually quite a few owls raised in Hogwarts. In Ian's opinion, it is definitely more cost-effective to pet an owl for free than to pet an owl that requires money and care by oneself.

In comparison.

Ian would like to have some special pets of his own.

"Professor, can I buy any pet I want?"

Ian spoke tentatively.

"Ah."

Snape snorted a word through his nose.

"Then, give me a phoenix?"

Ian blinked.

Lion... Well, lions are animals with a lot of confidence, so they probably wouldn't say that. Faced with Ian's wild imagination, Snape's eyes twitched a few times.

"Are you sure you didn't drink too much relaxing potion? Why haven't you woken up yet?" Snape was really shocked. He had never seen such a heartless person!
Give you a phoenix?
I want more!
Who can give me one?

"A bird with phoenix bloodline is also okay? I saw that shop use phoenix feathers to make wands." Ian's implication was obvious, that is, he thought the phoenix should be very common.

As a child living in a Muggle orphanage, it is natural for him to have such cognition. However, Ian actually really wants a phoenix.

How cool.

"Except for the Dumbledore family, no wizard in this century has been able to gain the favor of the Phoenix. I advise you to quickly forget this unrealistic fantasy."

Snape rolled his eyes.

He continued to speak to Ian in a slow tone, "Of course, maybe Mr. Prince is big enough to let Dumbledore give his phoenix to you."

obviously.

This was just a taunt to Ian.

"How about you, Professor, please speak for me? Dumbledore will definitely give you this face!" It's not that Ian is shameless enough, but he has found a way to deal with Snape.

as predicted.

Just this one sentence.

Snape was so choked that he didn't know how to respond.

"A sharp-tongued guy!"

In the end, Snape just glared at Ian fiercely.

"If your brain is different from that of the troll, you would not dream of the impossible, but choose a toad or a mouse."

"They are the best partners you can use for potion experiments." Snape was obviously suppressing his anger, but he still slowly gave his suggestions.

just.

This suggestion obviously does not conform to most people's positioning of pets.

"You call it an experimental subject, not a pet." Ian sighed helplessly.

"Is there a difference?"

Snape sneered coldly, "Perhaps you will go to stupid Gryffindor. Only those mediocre people can have sympathy and love for these animals."

He once again dissed the college he hated the most.

Ian chose to ignore it.

"Forget it. I've spent enough money today. I don't have any animals I want to raise, and I can't even support myself." Ian lay on the glass wall and watched for a long time.

At last.

He still couldn't find any animal he liked.

He has the soul of an adult.

Their interest in pets is naturally different from that of ordinary children.

"It's your choice."

Snape didn't try to persuade her much.

He threw away his robe and turned away.

"Since we can't raise a phoenix, can we raise a snake?" Ian hurriedly followed with his suitcase, which had been guarded by Snape.

"First-year students are not allowed to bring dangerous pets like that." Snape slowed down and waited for Ian to catch up. He looked at Ian with a standard sidelong glance full of contempt.

"Didn't you say forget it? You want to change your mind again? Unfortunately, you have lost the opportunity to buy it." The corners of Snape's mouth curled up slightly, and his dead fish face finally showed a little fluctuation.

"No, I want to get one when I'm in the second or third grade." Ian didn't know if Harry Potter was in the same grade as him. If he wanted to have a pet that satisfied him, he might have to rely on a savior.

Yes.

Ian wants to keep a basilisk.

This is the pet that an adult soul wants!
Big is the truth!
"Heh, it seems that Mr. Prince doesn't want to keep a pet, but he feels that the pets in the pet store are not worthy of him. I hope you don't regret this stupid decision today."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. The selling price of a pet with even a trace of magical animal blood is definitely not something a little wizard like you can afford."

Snape looked as if he saw through Ian.

"Okay, thank you for the reminder, Professor."

Ian nodded.

There was no trace of the embarrassment that Snape was expecting to see.

This made Snape frown slightly.

Ian, on the other hand, looked around at the various magical shops without any worries.

"be prepared."

Snape suddenly stopped.

Before Ian turned around to ask.

His hand gripped the back of Ian's neck again.

next moment.

Ian felt the world spinning.

He knew this was the feeling when Apparition was activated. However, compared to the previous experience when he felt nothing at all, he now felt a little dizzy and nauseous.

Not serious.

Could it be that Snape's potion had lost some of its effectiveness?
Just as Ian's thoughts were wandering.

"Wow~"

As the vision suddenly became clear, the Apparition journey ended and the bustling streets of Diagon Alley disappeared from sight, replaced by a quiet and peaceful village.

The sound of gurgling water in the distance mixed with the occasional cry of an owl, and the air was filled with the sweet aroma of various magical foods and candies.

This is Hogsmeade village.

A magical village hidden in the Scottish mountains.

"You'll live here until school starts."

Snape brought Ian, who was looking around like a curious baby, to a secluded cabin. Before Ian could pretend to be puzzled and ask what this place was, he had already taken out a key and threw the remaining half bag of gold galleons to Ian.

"If I catch you and you continue to run around, you will suffer the consequences." Snape gave a stern warning and turned away without hesitation.

His back seemed a little hurried, as if he was in a hurry to deal with something - could it be that he forgot to turn off the fire when he boiled a pot of precious potion before going out?
"He seemed to be telling me not to...run around anymore?"

Ian noticed something unusual in Snape's words.

but.

Looking at the piles of textbooks in his suitcase, Ian wanted most to become a real wizard. In his opinion, everything else needed to be put aside for the time being.

"Magic! Here I come!"
