Hogwarts Melon Eater

Chapter 76: Proud 'Diagon Alley' ③

"What are we going to buy next? Little \'Diagon Alley\'?" Dumbledore happily followed Anna, and he found that this little girl always brought him a lot of fun.

"I'll take a look..." Anna took out the parchment, "Let's go shopping for clothes, my favorite part, it just so happens that Mrs. Mokin's shop is not far away..."

"That's really lucky," the two came to the door of a shop with various slogans.

The shop door is assembled with dark blue wood, a huge wooden board is nailed to the top of the wall, and it is very artistically written \'Mrs. Mokin's Robe Store\', next to it is a wooden cartoon woman decoration, she is constantly Shaking the black cloak in his hand.

A huge parchment ad was stuck on a wooden board outside the window in a very prominent position.

\'Are you still depressed about waking up with a wrinkled robe? Mrs. Mokin's new launch - automatic ironing robes, solve this trouble for you! \'

Anna was a little speechless. Who would wear a robe to sleep? How much is this like robes?

"Automatic ironing? Looks good," Dumbledore said, noting the new ad, "perhaps suggest that Mrs. Malkin invents a stain-free robe next time, I always drop some residue every time I eat dessert. to the robe..."

"Although it's easy to clean up with a spell, it's still too much trouble," Dumbledore paused. "As you get older, people become lazy."

"Then I suggest you wear an apron, or a bib, so that you won't stain your robe..." Through the window, Anna could see Mrs. Mokin in a purple dress making clothes for a little wizard.

"Aprons? Bibs?" Dumbledore laughed, probably thinking of the absurd appearance he might look like wearing an apron, "Then I'll try it next time."

"Ding ding..." Anna's sound of pushing the door caught Madam Malkin's attention.

"Honey, please wait..." She turned around, "Oh! Anna and... Headmaster Dumbledore!? What a strange combination!"

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Malkin," the two greeted her.

"I see," the stout, genial witch waved her wand, manipulated scissors and a tape measure, cutting a rag on a stiff, smiling boy on a small stool.

"It's time for Anna to go to school, what about the twins? Why didn't you see them?" Mrs. Morkin smiled and patted the boy's shoulder, motioning him to stand on the small stool next to him. Another brown-haired witch came over and cast a spell. He sews clothes.

Anna stepped on the small stool in front of Mrs. Malkin with ease, "Headmaster Dumbledore came to pick me up in the Muggle world, and the twins are going with Mrs. Weasley..."

"Mrs. Morkin, I need \'Hogwarts uniform set\'."

"Of course," Mrs. Molly slipped a long robe off Anna's head and began to wave her wand, cutting it to a suitable length with scissors.

Dumbledore walked to the bench beside the counter and sat down, opened the 'Inventory of those gorgeous robes' on the side, and looked at it with gusto.

"I'm really afraid that the scissors will cut me," the boy on the other stool relaxed and began to try to chat with Anna.

"Hello," he greeted Anna, "you are also a student at Hogwarts this year, right?"

Black hair, gray eyes glowing, a cute little lady, Anna is happy to answer his question, "Yes, I'm shopping for the things on the list."

"Me too! Dad went to buy textbooks for me," Xiao Zhengtai lowered his voice slightly, "Mom went to buy a broom for me, she promised me to buy \'Nimbus 1700\', I'm really looking forward to it now..."

"But how did I hear that the school doesn't allow first-year wizards to bring broomsticks?" Anna raised her eyebrows.

"Oh, yes...it's true..." Little Zhengtai looked a little struggling, "I know it's not good to violate the school rules...but I really like Quidditch!"

"I just took the broom with me secretly, and I can just sleep with it..." Little Zhengtai seemed to convince herself, "No one will find out, no one..."

"Cough," Dumbledore, who was sitting reading a magazine, coughed twice at the right time.

"Uh... This classmate, it may be late, but I still have to remind you that the headmaster of Hogwarts is sitting over there..." Anna observed the boy's expression.

"Principal?" The boy stiffened again, his eyes full of shock.

Mrs. Malkin laughed.

"In our conversation just now, I just called him Headmaster Dumbledore." Perhaps the expression on the boy's face was too exaggerated, and Anna also laughed.

"What - I was so afraid of the scissors hurting me just now that I didn't notice it at all!"

"Then you have noticed now," Anna stretched out her hand, "Anna Lawrence, you can call me Anna."

"Oh! Hello, I'm..." The boy in a panic stretched out his hand from the cloak to shake hands with Anna, "Ow!" He was punctured by a sewing needle, and the witch who sewed for him showed a helpless expression.

"I'm Cedric," the boy touched his pierced arm, "Cedric Diggory."

When Anna heard the name, she looked at this "future handsome guy" curiously. As a Hufflepuff, his facial features are indeed very delicate.

"I'd better not think about the broom... Anna, which college do you think you will be assigned to?"

"Me? All right, but I don't really want to climb the tower. Maybe Hufflepuff's lounge is more suitable for me?"

"Me too! Hufflepuffs! My mom and dad are Hufflepuffs, wish I could go too, but it's okay to be sorted into another house..." he concluded, "It's good whatever house you're in. !"

"Where's Slytherin?" Anna looked at Cedric curiously, "Is Slytherin okay?"

"Oh...Slytherin..." Cedric looked a little distressed, and he thought seriously, "It's okay...but I think it might not get along with them. I mean...well...better not..."

"I heard from my dad, Slytherin students, they don't like to deal with mixed blood..." Cedric shook his head, "If I go to Slytherin and can't make a friend, it will be too sad. How lonely that is!"

Anna nodded, "That makes sense..."

"Anna, put away the sleeve of your right hand." Mrs. Malkin waved her wand to interrupt the chat between the two.

"Okay," Anna didn't care too much, rolled up the sleeve of her right hand, and only realized what she had done when she saw the 'bad' mark on her arm.

"Cool! What is this on your hand?" Cedric saw the \'unbreakable tattoo\' on Anna's arm at a glance.

"Uh..." Anna saw that Dumbledore didn't raise her head, and was still immersed in the world of "gorgeous robes", she opened her mouth to fool.

"The characteristics of Muggle schools in our area, everyone will have tattoos, you know."

Cedric didn't understand, but still thought the pattern was cool, "It's amazing, all Muggles have this kind of...\'tattoo\'?"

"Almost, almost..." Anna hurriedly ended the topic, she covered her arms with a robe, "but we usually don't show it."

"Wow..." Cedric nodded with a vague understanding, not knowing.

"Okay, boy," the sewing witch wrote some data on the parchment beside her, and patted Cedric on the shoulder.

"The robe is ready. Just take this one with you. Remember to put it on when you go to school. The other pieces that will not be used now will be sent directly to Hogwarts."

"Thank you," Cedric paid Anna to say goodbye, "Goodbye Anna, I have to go shopping for other things, see you at school!"

"See you at school," Anna reached out and waved at Cedric, watching him walk out of Mrs. Malkin's shop.

"Mrs. Morkin, did you graduate from Gryffindor?" Anna looked at the busy lady in front of her.

"Oh boy, I'm not," Mrs. Mulkin shook her head, "I'm a Hufflepuff student, and many of the people working on this street are Hufflepuffs~lightnovelpub.net~peace, peace, We like this life."

"Is there any lack of freshness?"

Anna stood on another stool under Mrs. Mokin's instructions, and the witch who sewed her clothes replied with a smile, "Why, life in Diagon Alley can be quite exciting sometimes, no, not long ago the ancient The dragon of Lingge was released..."

"Cough cough..." Anna choked on her own saliva.

Dumbledore looked up at Anna, and returned to the magazine.

"And that sign... ah..." Mrs. Malkin sighed, "I hope it's just a prank..."

"That sign," Anna looked at Mrs. Malkin, "do you think the mysterious man will come back?"

"I don't know... If I had said this before... I would never have believed it, and would have told him not to go crazy," Mrs. Malkin thought, "but this time, the movement was too loud for me to Reminds me of the Wizarding War when I was a kid..."

"I hope not," the lady who sewed Anna's clothes frowned, "We finally have a good birthday..."

"Okay," the lady who sewed the clothes cut the last thread and let Anna get off the bench, "it's time to buy other things, Anna, after a while, there will be so many people here that you won't be able to squeeze out if you want to. "

"Goodbye," Anna and Dumbledore walked out of the store after paying.

Noisy and lively streets, it's hard to imagine that less than a few weeks have passed since the Gringotts \'Dragon Escape\' incident. Under the restoration of magic, everything is the same as before, and people who have escaped are walking on the streets again. Like nothing happened.

"Headmaster Dumbledore," Anna still didn't meet Dumbledore's eyes, "Do you think the mysterious man will come back?"
