With money in his pocket and no panic in his heart, with the blessing of money, Ian spent less than two hours buying more than a dozen essential items listed in the admission notice, which did not include chatting with Mrs. Malkin. a quarter of an hour.

Not only that, he also bought all the additional textbooks for grades 1 to 3 in case of emergency. As for why I didn’t buy fourth-grade books, I asked Old Tom and got the answer. Although he is 14 years old according to the year, his birthday is September 23.

Hogwarts has its own magical contract. If your birthday is after September 1st, even if it is just one day, it will be counted as the next year in the Book of Access.

After buying all the items on the list and using the owl mail service for most of them, Ian walked to the roadside Quidditch boutique with ease.

Ian had long planned to buy a broomstick and a box with an infinite extension spell. Because of the apocalyptic living environment, a broomstick can prevent more than 80% of parasites from being sensed.

There is no blind spot in the aerial view. As long as you carefully avoid the birds that are stagnant on the roof of the building or in the tree, then high altitude is a natural safe zone. As for the box that releases infinitely extending magic, this kind of space equipment is simply a must-have artifact for survival in the apocalypse.

However, Ian does not plan to buy a suitcase in Diagon Alley now. He has learned that due to the Ministry of Magic's secrecy laws and regulations on the use of the infinite extension spell, the suitcase can only expand twice its own space, so he does not plan to go through formal channels. Bought.

In fact, it was more because he had a showdown with Dumbledore and thus gained the principal's commitment and trust, allowing the world's greatest white wizard to privately make an infinitely extending backpack for himself. Isn't it delicious?

Newt's kind of space is not an extravagant one, but at least a few dozen square meters, the size of two or three houses, is still within easy reach of Dumbledore.

Quidditch broomsticks are obviously the favorite product of little wizards. As soon as Ian walked to the door, he saw countless children gathered around and screaming in surprise as they looked at a beautiful broomstick in the window.

Even if school starts tomorrow, and there is even a lot of summer homework that has not yet been completed, they still cannot resist their love for Quidditch and their pursuit of new broomsticks.

It is human nature to watch the excitement, and Ian also wants to know what the broom looks like when so many children are watching. I saw a small wooden sign hanging next to the broomstick, with the name, model and specific parameters of this style written on it.

Walk closer and take a closer look, Huo! Nimbus 2000. Sorry to bother you, farewell~

The drooling expressions of the children and the parents standing behind them looked at each other with wry smiles. It was obvious that this expensive luxury was not only unaffordable for Ian, but also for most ordinary wizarding families.

Although Ian had no intention of buying this expensive-looking thing, he still curiously pushed the door open and asked about the price.

"New products are on the market. During the summer vacation, they are only 450 galleons. Today is the last day of discount." The store owner smiled like a 200-pound child.

"!!!"

He was shocked. Although he had received a huge sum of 1,000 Galleons from selling gold, he never expected that a broom could be sold for such a high price. One of the latest Nimbus 2000 is about the same as Arthur Weasley working for four months without eating or drinking...

Arthur Weasley:…

As for this magical Ferrari, Ian said that he should stick to the plan and just buy an antique that can fly.

The display of broomsticks on the shelves is divided into series: Nimbus series, Comet series, and Sweep series.

The store owner obviously noticed that the man in front of him was different from the kids who came in for free and browsed around. He was really planning to buy it, so he enthusiastically continued to introduce other broom models in the Nimbus series.

But even for the so-called old models of Nimbus, after Ian glanced at the prices of these old models, he was still speechless. The corner of his mouth twitched and said: "Boss, this series doesn't look very cool. What's hanging over there?" What is it?"

In fact, in addition to the three major series, there are also many single-product brooms hanging at the inconspicuous back of the store.

"Silver Arrow Seventy-Nine, excellent durability and wind resistance, balanced speed, smooth start, especially suitable for you to practice Quidditch in school, safe and stable..."

Ian interrupted his introduction speechlessly, "Balanced speed? Smooth start? In other words, this broom is not only slow, but also accelerates like a drunk?"

The boss shrugged, "But it's very safe, isn't it? And you're still young and don't understand. Men can't be too fast. A broom that performs stably like this is the best."

Ian really didn't expect that this would allow him to drive. And is it really okay to say this to a student?

Seeing Ian's face darken, the boss came to the other broom angrily, "A fiery type, with explosive starting speed, and second to none in straight flight, but its shortcomings are also very obvious, lack of climbing power...

And it has poor agility in the air. Don't expect it to be able to turn within three meters. When flying, it looks like a crazy donkey. If it wants to turn, it has to be at least 5 meters away before it starts to deviate from the angle.

So too many people were hit head-on while riding it, and because of this, it was discontinued in less than half a year. The few remaining ones I have here are almost all extinct models. "

These single-product brooms have various problems. Considering that you must always be on guard against parasitic birds, startup acceleration and flight speed are the top priorities. So I gave up the comfort and stability of a household broom and chose a sports broom - the popular one.

However, the hot product also has a fatal problem, that is, because it has been discontinued for so long, there are almost no spare parts for replacement.

In other words, this broom is infinitely close to being disposable. As long as there is a scratch or collision, it will stop working immediately. Don't expect the possibility of repair by replacing parts.

In line with the principle of saving money, Ian immediately seized this opportunity and started a back-and-forth, see-saw type of bargaining with the store owner.

"Oh, you can't just measure its value based on practicality. It's out of print, out of print, do you understand? This means that it may become an antique in the future, a rare antique, and it is worth more than thousands of galleons... "

Seeing the boss using his unique glib tone and wanting to continue his quibbles, with a look of unfinished intention, Ian interrupted mercilessly:

"120 Galleons, that's it, or I'll leave, and then you can continue to collect this 'unprinted treasure' and wait for it to appreciate to several thousand Galleons."

After some wrangling, Ian got his wish and got his first flying broomstick for 125 Galleons.

After reconfirming that everything planned for today was completed, when we returned to the Leaky Cauldron, it was already dark.

After enjoying a delicious dinner prepared by Old Tom, Ian took a look at the empty bar and felt that staying here was boring, so he went back to the room to pack various items for school tomorrow.
