Hogwarts: The frog cub brings back the Dragon Slayer Crystal at the beginning

After saying goodbye to the Grangers, Lorne led the curious Hermione through the wall and into Diagon Alley.

This was Hermione's second visit to Diagon Alley, and the last time she was with her parents, she hadn't been able to get around properly.

And this time she was going to work here for two months, so she had time to hang out.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the store first. "

With that, Lorne led Hermione into the freshly renovated potions shop.

Since it had just opened, the wizards on the road were looking at the newly opened shop with great curiosity.

As the two walked into the store, Hermione saw a large pile of books on the table for the first time.

She walked over and picked up a copy and looked at it.

"You want to learn alchemy?"

Hermione asked curiously.

These books were used to make alchemy props, and she had seen them in the library.

However, alchemy props are very difficult to practice, especially the inscriptions, so there are only a handful of famous alchemists.

And some people who are not good at alchemy can only make some magic props to maintain their lives.

The shop's former owner was a sorcerer who studied alchemy, and made things that didn't seem to be of much use, such as a self-watering kettle.

It's just a spell for a wizard, so why spend money on one?

"After all, this store can't just sell potions!"

Lorne explained to Hermione.

If you only rely on selling potions, it is estimated that you may not be able to sell a bottle of potions in a day.

For example, the elixir of bone spirit, not everyone will break their bones every day.

And high-grade potions like compound potions, most wizards are only curious, and will not buy them, because they are too expensive.

"I'm going to learn with you too!"

Miss Hermione said.

......

"You take care of the cashier's position first. "

After waiting for Hermione to familiarize herself with the contents of the store, Lorne took her to a counter and confronted her.

And next to this counter, there are also a number of books, most of which are Lockhart's writings.

After all, those interesting biographies are always the best spice to pass the time of boredom.

And there were two bedrooms in the store, one for her and one for Lorne.

Miss Hermione is very happy with her working environment.

The opening time had been since the morning, and by noon, only a few customers had come in to take a look, but they hadn't bought any potions.

A large part of it comes in out of curiosity.

"There are so few people!"

Hermione sat behind her desk, her chin propped up on her hand and looking across from the Blotted bookstore.

In bookstores, lots and lots of wizards are buying books.

In contrast, their side is very deserted.

"Isn't it better to study in a quiet environment?"

Lorne sat in the corner, holding a quill in his hand, recording what he had learned about alchemy, as well as the meaning of most of the runes.

The complexity of these ancient patterns was far beyond his imagination, because usually a single pattern represented many meanings, and most of them would not have any connection.

It's hard to get people to record it.

Even Miss Hermione felt dizzy after studying for a while, and hurriedly ran to the counter to read the biography.

She was now holding a copy of "Wandering with Werewolves", turning the page from time to time.

The midday sun is not too harsh, and the soft light shines through the window and scatters the words of the books, giving people a lethargic feeling.

Looking at Hermione, she couldn't help but yawn, and sleepy tears slowly slipped down the corners of her eyes.

"Hello, do you have any bones here?"

At this moment, a middle-aged wizard in a black robe walked in with his arms covered, and Lorne, whose sense of smell had been strengthened, immediately smelled the blood on the other party's body.

He got up and walked in front of Hermione, quietly blocking Hermione, who was in high spirits, behind hermione.

"Yes, ten gold galleons in a bottle!"

Lorne said with a smile on his face.

It's impossible not to do the deal that comes to your door, no matter where he comes from.

"Bring me a bottle!"

As he spoke, he pulled out ten gold gallons from his pocket and placed them on the table.

Is it the wizard on the other side of Tumbledown Alley?

Lorne already had a guess in his mind.

By this time, Hermione, who was already familiar with the interior of the store, brought a bottle of potion and put it on the table.

The middle-aged wizard hidden under the hood looked at the two young wizards in charge of the shop in front of him with some curiosity.

It was the first time he had seen such a situation in all his time in Diagon Alley.

Coming out to work at such a young age?

After taking the Bone Spirit, he turned around and left without much thought, not even checking if the potion was effective.

Anyway, the store can't run away from here.

"He's got his arm wrong..."

After watching the black-robed wizard leave, Hermione poked Lorne's waist with her hand and whispered.

"It's supposed to be a wizard from Tumbledown Alley, after all, there are often some wizard fights there. "

Lorne gripped the little finger that poked him and turned his head to touch the girl's little head.

"If you have time to think about that, you might as well study with me. "

Miss Hermione didn't seem to be so motivated to study since she was on vacation, and she ran to read the biography halfway through the book on alchemy.

"The knowledge in it is too profound, I can't understand it at all!"

Hermione grumbled.

Not to mention the meaning of various ancient inscriptions, the complicated techniques in them can make her dizzy.

"You should start with the basics..."

Lorne reluctantly pinched the tip of her little nose.

Whoever made her pick up Nick Mailer's book as soon as she came up, it made Lorne feel like his brain was groggy.

"Okay, okay, you collect the money and read the biography. "

"I'll have to finish the basics today, and I'll teach you later. "

As he spoke, Lorne touched Hermione's smooth forehead lightly, and despite Miss Beaver's crimson cheeks, he turned back into the corner.

He now had a general idea of how to learn alchemy.

It's just that some props are used to depict ancient inscriptions with magic power, so as to activate the meaning of the inscriptions.

Maybe you can try making a magic ring tonight?

Lorne thought.
