Chapter 111: At the Madam Morkin Robe Store

In the car heading to Diagon Alley, Jon took out a list of items he needed for the new semester.
In order to complete the third grade course, he needs to purchase the following books:
"Intermediate Transformation Guide" by Emeric Swich
"Standard Spells, Level Three" by Miranda Gosak
"The Book of Potions" by Zygmunt-Batch
"Peep out the fog and see the future" by Cassandra Wablaski
"The Book of Monsters" by Edward Lima
"Mowen Dictionary" by Arafat Horst
In addition, all students who take the "Divination" course need to bring their own crystal ball; all students who take the "Preservation of Magical Animals" course need to bring their own set of dragon skin protective clothing.
At the same time, as two years passed, the previous black Hogwarts robe (school uniform) and peaked cap were obviously smaller, and Jon needed to go to Diagon Alley to buy a new one.
The taxi stopped at the location designated by Jon on Charing Cross Road.
"It seems there are only 116 and 118 here, there is no 117?" The taxi driver asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
"Maybe No. 117 was demolished!" Jon replied casually.
After the taxi driver left, he walked into No. 117 Charing Cross Road, which is also the Broken Cauldron Bar. The Broken Cauldron Bar itself has been cast with a powerful protection spell, and it can only be seen by hearing its address from a real wizard.
Jon saw old Tom, with his teeth missing, soliciting guests here, but he didn't find Hannah.
Saying hello to Mr. Tom Abbot, he entered the patio in the backyard and walked into Diagon Alley.
...
Today in Diagon Alley is much deserted than before.
After all, the Quidditch World Cup is playing, and there are many fierce matches every day...Many shops have chosen to close their doors. It seems that the owner is going to watch the game.
Fortunately, several important stores are still open.
He first went to the Lihen Bookstore and bought the books he needed; when the clerk gave him the "Book of Monsters", he must also ask him to stroke the books when opening it. Spine.
Then Jon went to a leather shop next to him and bought a dragon leather protective suit; he went to a magic item shop and bought a crystal ball.
Now, he stopped outside the Madam Morkin's robe specialty store.
Mrs. Morkin was a short and squat witch with a nice smile and a purple dress.
"Are you here to buy a new robe, dear?" She stood at the door of the store, and before Jon could speak, she proactively introduced, "Can you ask which college you belong to?"
"Hufflepuff!" Jon answered honestly.
"Then you can try this one!" Mrs. Morkin took out a yellow and black robe from the hanger: "A Hufflepuff student is already trying this one!"
"Okay, thank you." Jon took it.
When he walked behind the hanger, he did see an acquaintance.
Zacharys-Smith wore the same robe as his hand, with shiny pins on the welt and cuffs.
"Long time no see, buddy!" Jon said hello to him.
Zacharias's expression was a little weird. He stood pale by the mirror, winked at Jon, and didn't dare to speak.
Jon couldn't help but think of the Bogut of Zacharias at the end of the first grade... Maybe his mother was here too?
Jon picked up the robe and walked to a dressing mirror behind the hanger.
Then he ran into a middle-aged man head-on.
"Sorry!" Jon said quickly, raising his head while the expression on his face was dull.
...
"Snape...Professor..." he stammered.
He understood why the expression on Zacharias's face was so nervous just now. It's not the here, it's Snape...
But why did Snape appear here? Shouldn't he be at Pavlov's house in Newham?
What a coincidence...
Could it be that he came to buy clothes. Snape was tired of his oily black robe that he had worn for many years and was going to change it?
But why is he not in front of the fitting mirror, but as if waiting for someone.
"Hart!" Severus Snape raised his head gloomily. "Could it be that Pomona didn't teach you that you need to see people when you walk?"
"Sorry, Professor Snape..." Jon said quickly.
When he said the words "Professor Snape," Severus Snape's face frowned without leaving a trace, but it stretched out quickly.
"...I'll come and buy two new sets of robes..."
Before Jon had finished speaking, the door of a fitting room beside was opened.
A little girl with an Eastern European face in a brand new black robe came out.
She grinned and said, "Professor Snape, it looks good."
"Then buy it now!" Snape turned around in annoyance.
"Huh?" Jon was even more puzzled. Isn't this the daughter of Sergey Pavlov? Why is she not in Diagon Alley with her dad, why is she by Snape's side; Is it because the old bat missed Lily is too deep, seeing this little loli can't control herself...
Jon turned his head and glanced at Natasha again. She was like her mother, with long dark red hair and almond-shaped green eyes.
"Professor..." He suddenly remembered that he shouldn't know this girl, so he asked quickly: "Who is she?"
"A Muggle-born Hogwarts freshman...I'm responsible for bringing her to the wizarding world for the first time!" Snape gave him a cold look and explained, "and help her buy the items she needs! "
"Huh?" Jon was completely silly...what the hell, then why didn't Professor McGonagall bring him to Diagon Alley two years ago?
This is not right!
"Professor Snape!" Natalie Pavlova leaned close to Snape, pulled his sleeve, and asked, "Where should we go now?"
Snape scowled ~EbookFREE.me~ and glanced at the list in his hand:
"Go to Lihen Bookstore..."
Snape was about to take the little girl out of Mrs. Morkin's robe specialty store.
But when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.
"Hart!" he shouted loudly.
Jon, who was still trying on clothes and tied several pins on his body, was forcibly pulled to the door by Snape.
"Listen... Minerva should have taken you to Diagon Alley two years ago, right?"
"Don't interrupt me!" Before Jon could refute, Snape said rudely: "Where she took you and what things she bought, you take the little girl just now; Take her home before dark, she knows where it is!"
Then Snape quickly shook Jon away, and walked a few steps without seeing a trace.
