Chapter 004: The Upside-Down Alley and the Gift
The mature young Aiven shrugged his shoulders and said, "Alright, alright, Uncle Bokin."
Otherwise, eleven-year-old Evan will have a fiancée
Bojin Bo Ke heard about the magical creatures and immediately shook his head quickly, "Xiao Aiwen, don't even think about it; magical creatures are very dangerous."
"Hehe, don't you want to take a guess?" Bokin Boke teased.
Aiven began to contemplate the gift from Bokin Bok. The first option he ruled out was the wand. The wands in the wizarding world are peculiar, seemingly possessing a spirit akin to that of a fairy realm, and they appear to have the ability to choose their own master.
From a young age, Ivan has shown a particular fondness for magical creatures, whether it be the Night Mare, the Hippogriff, the Erumpent, or even the legendary Nundu, all of which are subjects Ivan hopes to study
If there really were a fiancée, she should be a little loli, right? Just thinking about it is quite exciting!
Joanna immediately responded, "Alright, my little Evan, I will accompany you."
Good morning, Uncle Kalaktakus! Aiven replied with a smile. The real name of Bokin Boke is Kalaktakus Fox Boke; Bokin Boke is merely his alias.
As a first-grade newcomer, he needs to prepare a standard size No. 2 tin crucible. In fact, as the heir of the Gryffindor family, Aiwen could have simply stayed at home and instructed the house-elves or servants to handle the procurement of his school supplies.
Bojin · Bokedun instantly turned into a smile, "Xiao Aiwen, in a little while, you will be going to Hogwarts, right?"
Alright! Aiven did not refuse either. Paul and Aubrey are both house-elves of the Gold Lion Griffin family, and in terms of combat ability, they are quite outstanding, almost equivalent to senior Aurors
Members of the Bock family have historically been a legacy of Slytherin House. Unless an unexpected event occurs, even after the Sorting Hat's selection, Ivan would still be assigned to Slytherin.
Fandao Alley and Diagonal Alley are separated by only one alley. Although Fandao Alley has a poor reputation, in fact, its business is quite good, almost indistinguishable from that of Diagonal Alley
"Uncle Bokin, I cannot accept it; it is too precious!" Aiven said, closing the antique wooden box again in refusal.
Of course! Bokin Bok said earnestly, "Please join Slytherin House! This is the honor of our Bok family!"
Yes. Evan nodded, "Does Uncle Bokin have any suggestions?"
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the sun is shining brightly
In Diagon Alley, many wizards came and went, and Evan did not pay much attention, but walked towards the Potage's Cauldron shop
Aiven frowned slightly; although he knew that the profits of the Bokin Boke Magic Shop were considerable, the value of this gift was extremely high, and in the eyes of an ordinary wizard, it was even considered a priceless item
The Count of Balot hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "Alright! However, Paul and Aubrey need to accompany you. Additionally, you should stop by the alley; your uncle has a gift for you."
Looking at Bojin Boke's appearance, Aiven finally became curious, "What gift?"
How could the Bokingbok Magic Shop possibly establish itself in Upside Down Alley without the support of the Gold Lion Griffin family
The owner of the largest dark magic shop in Upside Down Alley, "Bokinbok Magic Shop," is Bokin Boke, who is the brother of Count Balor and also the uncle of Ivan
It is precisely for this reason that Ollivander's Wand Shop is able to maintain a near-monopoly in the wizarding world of Britain. Although Ivan is already aware that there are other wand makers in the British wizarding community, their quality is far inferior to that of Ollivander's Wand Shop
Count Barolo also concurred, "Well, the weather is nice today, we will accompany you."
Please call me Bojin Boke! Bojin Boke said solemnly
Aiven shook his head slightly, "I want to go alone. I am already grown up, right? After a while, I will also go to Hogwarts by myself. Please let me adjust for a bit first"
He casually opened the ancient wooden box, and inside, Aiven saw a small, pointed-bottom glass bottle filled with a transparent liquid. He was momentarily taken aback, then recognized its identity!
This time, Bo Jin Bo Ke did not keep anyone in suspense, lest Ai Wen say something about magical creatures again, which would definitely not be a good thing
Here, Bokin Boke took out an ancient wooden box from beneath the counter and placed it on the counter, gesturing for Ivan to examine it himself
After excluding the wand, all similar items such as cauldrons, books, brass scales, plain work robes, etc., must also be excluded, as these items hold too little value; Bokin Boke would not deliberately withhold information.
The Bojin · Boke Magic Shop is quite eye-catching. As Aiven entered the store with Paul and Aubrey, a joyful voice greeted them, "Oh, little Aiven, welcome! Welcome!"
Aiven was not being polite either; Bokin Boke is his own uncle, is there still a need to be polite
Aiven, dressed in a black suit, brought along Paul and Aubrey, and they directly appeared in Diagon Alley through Apparition. Although the Ministry of Magic has regulations that only allow wizards aged 17 and above to learn and use Apparition, Paul and Aubrey, being house-elves, are not subject to the Ministry's restrictions
However, how could Aiven be willing to do so
Joanna was indecisive, turning to look at Count Balor.
By the way, Xiao Aiwen, I have prepared a gift for you, "Bokin Boke said mysteriously.
Could it be ... ... " Evan suddenly thought of an answer, " Uncle Bokin, have you acquired any rare magical creatures? "
After the busy birthday party, Evan finally had time to go to Diagon Alley to procure items for his studies. During the recent birthday party, Evan was truly frightened!
At the birthday banquet, his father, Count Golden Griffin, nearly arranged a marriage for him. Fortunately, his mother, Joanna, intervened, expressing her hope that Evan's marriage should be decided by Evan himself
Although wizards can use any wand, without the wand's recognition, it is difficult to ensure the power of magic, the smoothness of spellcasting, and the tolerance for errors in casting.
Father, Mother, the school year is about to start, and I want to go to Diagon Alley
After selecting a compliant crucible from the Parchment Crucible Shop, Aiven spread his magical sensing but did not detect Hermione, and a look of boredom appeared on his face
"So what exactly is the gift?" Aiven was unwilling to continue guessing, as the possible answers were too numerous for him to arrive at the correct one
Time passes swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, we have already entered August
"Paul, Aubrey, let's go to Diagon Alley." Although Ivan had seen the "Harry Potter" movies, he did not know on which day Hermione would enter Diagon Alley
After all, one might have a chance encounter with Hermione in Diagon Alley
