Chapter 351 Nimbus 2000: Everyone has a moment of glory
The Leaky Cauldron is also the entrance to the famous wizard street, Diagon Alley.
Kyle comes here once a year to buy new books needed for the start of school, as well as consumables such as ink, parchment, and so on.
But nothing changed here every time he came, and it was the same this year.
The dim lights, the old and pulpy tables, and the noisy customers around, everything is no different from before.
After Newt apparated back to Dorset, Kyle walked into the backyard and entered Diagon Alley through the entrance here.
Kyle first went to Literary Residence to buy a large amount of parchment paper and ink, and then walked to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.
He doesn't need to buy too many new textbooks this year. In addition to "The Monster Book of Monsters", he only needs to buy another "Intermediate Rune Symbols Detailed Explanation".
While passing by the Quidditch boutique, Kyle found that there were many people gathered there.
Everyone squeezed forward, as if they wanted to get closer to the window. Kyle also saw an acquaintance in the crowd...Harry Potter.
His head was held between the arms of a big wizard, and his face was almost squeezed out of shape, but he didn't seem to care at all. His green eyes were staring at the things in the window, and he would wipe the corners of his mouth from time to time, revealing A very satisfied expression.
…It’s quite obscene and a bit stupid.
“Harry, what are you doing here!”
Kyle called three times in a row, and Harry finally came back to his senses.
“Kyle!”
Harry reluctantly looked away from the display window and smiled: "Great, I'm so glad to see you here."
“What were you looking at just now?” Kyle asked,
“It’s a Firebolt!”
As soon as he mentioned this, Harry suddenly became excited and kept talking to Kyle about what an excellent broom it was.
“Streamlined design… ash wood handle, and birch wood tail branch that is also polished into a streamlined shape…
Also, did you know that it only takes ten seconds to accelerate from standstill to 150 miles per hour? It is the fastest broomstick in the world! "
Harry wanted to spend the whole day praising how good the Firebolt was.
Kyle was less excited than he was.
Firebolt is good, but his Nimbus 2000 is also good.
Furthermore, when the Nimbus 2000 was first launched, it was also the fastest broom in the world, as was the earlier Sweep 150.
So, everyone has brilliant moments, and to a certain extent, everyone is the same.
"I'm going to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to buy new textbooks. What about you?" Kyle asked: "Do you want to stay here and watch Firebolt? But I suggest you go to the store. If you just take a look, you don't have to spend money. ."
“No, I’ve seen it many times in the past few days...In fact, because of some things, I’ve been living here for many days,”
Harry shook his head. "I want to look for Ron and Hermione. They should be here soon."
"If that's the case..." Kyle pointed to the Florin Fusco ice cream shop not far away, "Are those the two people you see there?"
“Huh?” Harry turned around.
Even though they were just two figures from behind, he recognized them at a glance. The two people buying ice cream were Hermione and Ron.
“Hermione, Ron!” he shouted excitedly.
The two of them turned around and were also surprised.
“Harry!”
“Kyle!”
Ron waved his hand and ran over excitedly.
"Finally I saw you." He said to Harry, "We went to the Leaky Cauldron, but they said you were gone. Then we went to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore and Madam Malkin's Robe Shop, but we couldn't find you. "
Listening to Ron's words, Kyle subconsciously thought of the way Harry was stuck in the crowd just now, with his **** exposed.
Had he not accidentally seen the pair of green eyes reflected in the window glass, he probably wouldn't have been able to spot Harry.
After a while, Hermione also came over, holding four large ice cream cones in her hand.
“Thank you.” Kyle took the ice cream and took a bite.
Almond chocolate flavor, tastes pretty good.
A few people were eating ice cream and walking forward aimlessly.
But while chatting, they inevitably talked about Harry's situation.
"So, Harry, you really inflated your aunt?" Hermione asked seriously.
"I didn't mean it," Harry said. "I was just so angry that I couldn't control it."
Ron laughed loudly from the side.
"This is no joke, Ron," Hermione said sternly, "I'm honestly surprised that Harry hasn't been expelled.
You should know that if a little wizard uses magic twice in a row outside of school, he will be expelled. And Harry had already been warned once last year. "
"I'm wondering too." Harry said, "Fudge just let me live here, and there was no other punishment. Tell me why he let me go."
"Maybe it's because you are...the famous Harry Potter." Ron shrugged and chuckled: "I can't imagine how the Ministry of Magic will deal with me if I inflate an aunt.
But first they had to dig me out of the ground, because my mother must have killed me before that. "
After saying that, Ron couldn't help but laugh.
Hermione and Harry laughed too.
In any case, not being expelled and not being punished is the best result.
The people walked a little further and soon arrived at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.
Kyle was going to buy new textbooks, and the rest of the group went to the pet store dozens of meters away.
Hermione wanted to buy herself a pet, and Ron also decided to take a look at his pet mouse.
"Scabbers was like this last year, getting thinner and thinner, and looking lifeless all day long." He held the mouse in his hands, "I originally thought that going out to play would make it feel better, but now it seems that it still has some I’m no longer acclimatized.”
After the few people separated at the door, Kyle walked into the bustling Flourish and Blott Bookstore.
Although no one was fighting at Flourish and Blotts this year, there were dozens of "Monster Books of Monsters" that were tearing at each other menacingly, as if they were engaging in a fierce wrestling match, with broken pieces of paper everywhere. .
A clerk was wearing a pair of thick gloves and beating the books with a large, knotted cane, trying to separate them.
"Hello..." He took a moment to glance at Kyle, "If you want to buy these books, it may take a while. I have to separate them first... Shut up! Don't bite it!
Damn it, I'm never buying this stuff again, never again, what a mess! "
“It doesn’t matter, I already have the book.” Kyle said.
"Really?" The clerk suddenly showed a relieved expression, "Thank God, I have been bitten by them five times today... So, what do you want."
“I need "Detailed Explanation of Intermediate Rune Symbols""
“Ah, have you started studying ancient runes in depth?” The clerk took off his gloves and found the book Kyle needed from a corner of the store.
“Not many people will buy this. This course is too difficult, but it is undeniable that this is a very good guide with very detailed content.”
He handed the book over, "It's two galleons in total."
