Chapter 3: Overturned Lane Storm

In general, Maca doesn't have much interest in the Weasleys. As mentioned earlier, he has never liked this lively scene.
I was just Ron, a member of the future trio, with too many stories about him. Although Maca couldn't remember many details, it didn't stop him from wanting to know Ron. In his opinion, this was the closest breakout he had made with Harry, Hermione, and others.
Of course, you don't need to go too far.
On the same day, Maca and Luna had lunch at Weasley's home, then spent an afternoon in the Burrow, and then returned to Lovegood's house again.
It is worth mentioning that he has made an appointment with Mrs. Weasley, and they will go to Diagon Alley at the end of next month to buy those necessities required for admission-Ron has also received Hogwarts's Admission Notice.
I spent a lot of time in Lovegood's house. Maca talked with Luna every day. Sometimes the topic of the conversation might be wrong, but most of the time they talked quickly.
But the happy days always seemed short, time passed quickly, and soon it was time to say good to Mrs. Weasley. That morning, Maca said goodbye to Luna's father and daughter, and then carried his suitcase back into the fireplace at Lovegood's.
I have lived in Luna's house for almost a month. No matter how cheeky, Maca thinks it's almost time to say goodbye. Of course, before leaving, Mr. Maka helped Mr. Lovegood to repair a damaged fence, which left him a good impression.
When she finally separated, Luna showed a bit of reluctance for the first time. Maca wondered, was this a good start? To be honest, he still has a good opinion of this sometimes clever, sometimes off-line girl, although he has not reached the level he likes.
"嘭!"
玛 When Maca arrived at Diagon Alley, Luna and her father were staring blankly at the empty fireplace. Obviously, this time someone finally noticed Maca's vision when using flying powder-they were taken aback.
The high-pitched green tongue of fire flew past them, and almost licked Mr. Lovegood's robe. If he stood closer, he would probably go to Diagon Alley with Maca.
Uh ...
Maka and Mrs. Weasley's appointment was at the Partridge Crucible Shop, which was behind the broken cauldron bar. According to Ron, he didn't have to buy anything because he was going to use second-hand goods that Charlie had used.
"Except for a new crucible, because Charlie's mouth leaked." Ron, who was saying that at the time, seemed reluctant. "I would rather leak a" Standard Spell, Elementary ", which is more expensive. Some, and it won't look so stupid. "
But when Maca stood looking at the crucible shop door and looked inwards, she found that she was probably earlier.
"In any case, go to Gulin Pavilion first!" Maca looked around and decided to follow the original plan.
Gu Lingge is the only bank in the magic world, and its branches are operated by fairies all over the world. The fairies provide businesses related to saving money and renting vaults. Of course, there are also corners such as currency exchange.
Hinging at the door of a few fairies, Ma Ka walked into the marble hall of Gulin Pavilion. As soon as he entered, he was calmed down by the busy but orderly scene inside.
About a hundred or so goblins were sitting on a high stool behind a long row of counters, some weighing coins with copper balances, some checking gems with eyepieces, and registering them on the large ledger. There are countless doors in the hall leading to different places, and many fairies guide customers in and out of these doorways.
I honestly, this kind of scene is rare. Maca stood by the door and watched it for a while, then walked over to the counter with the
Muggle Currency Exchange Office
nameplate.
时间 "Time is money my friend," Maca looked at a young leprechaun on the high stool, and couldn't help pulling a famous saying, and then asked, "What is the exchange rate for the pound?"
"Oh-, yes," said the fairy at the counter, his eyes flickered sharply, as if he had heard something reasonable. He examined Maca carefully before answering, "Today's pound exchange rate is 5.01, distinguished guest, do you need to exchange? The handling fee is 1.5 points. "
Maca quickly took most of her money out of the suitcase and deposited it in Gulin Pavilion after completing the redemption procedures, leaving only 100 gold gallons for her.
"I'm glad to serve you, and wish you a lot of money!" At the end, the goblin happily approached him with a sharp voice.
As soon as Maca came to the gate, he faintly heard a familiar cry behind him.
"Time is money my friend!"
"It's really moving." Maca grinned, and left here in a cheerful step.
"Well, where do we go next? Or just go around first?"
玛 While Maca was thinking about going there, his gaze was attracted by another fork opposite Gu Lingge.
Diagon Alley's shops are crowded enough, but it looks significantly narrower, and even the light is mostly blocked by odd-shaped buildings, making people feel a little spooky.
Maca froze in place, then went over there.
The three shops at Kua Lu Jun are all closed with their doors closed, their windows are pulled tightly with thick flannel curtains, and the names of the shops on the door openings are not clear, and they have obviously been deserted for some years.
A few more steps, a small shop called "giant spider" is opening the store door, there seems to be a lot of strange creatures inside the cage, which reminded him of an item on the shopping list- — Students can bring an owl or a cat or a toad.
Maybe it's good to go in and see, anyway, he came too early today, and still has a lot of time.
"Welcome, young guests." At the very end of the shop, an old witch wearing a broad-brimmed pointed hat whispered in a kind of hoarse voice, "... Please take a look."
Maca glanced over there, then looked at the creatures in the cages on both sides.
I said it plainly, he just looked at it. Most of the creatures inside he didn't know, but this did not hinder his curiosity.
Suddenly, he saw a black owl, which looked very large, at least two times larger than the breed in the "Dora Owl Store" that was passing by.
"What kind of owl is this?" Maca turned her head and asked the old witch inside.
"Xiao-eared fu (xiao), originating in Sumatra, is good at hunting and alerting, and is good at predicting the coming of earthquakes and tsunamis." The old witch said vaguely, her cracked lips opened and closed, and the missing ones A mouthful of yellow teeth is clearly visible.
Maka looked at the owl in the cage again, and saw that she was looking at herself quietly, and asked, "How much?"
The old witch grinned and grinned. The stiff smile was creepy. "Twenty Jin Jialong, my husband."
Maka glanced at the old witch without changing her expression. "Come on, ma'am, I'm not Hogwarts' hairy kids."
The old witch looked Maca up and down hesitantly, then raised her back, which had been bowing slightly, and the voice of speaking became a little louder, "Okay, sir, fifteen gold gallons are worth two."
Maka didn't even look at her this time, turned around and walked out, as fast as she was fleeing from some filth.
"Wait, wait, sir, ten, no ... eight, at least eight!" The old witch shouted suddenly when she saw this.
Maca turned her head and did not slash. He estimated that although there must be a lot of profit at this price, it was almost the same, and he would no longer be able to buy it if he tried to bargain.
成交 "Dealed." Maca took out eight gold gallons and placed them on the counter, then lifted the cage and walked out of the shop.
等等 "Wait! The price of the cage is another!" The old witch chased to the door, only to find that Maca had disappeared from the crowd on the street.
At this time, she was surprised to find that she was standing at the door. UU reads www.uukanshu. Com this old witch is actually two meters high!
"Abominable! What an abominable little dwarf, just like the vampires in the United States!" The old witch could not find the target, and had to scold and go back.
Of course, Maca didn't run too far, he just walked two steps, and then he went into a shop called "Melloki Museum".
"Welcome to the Meloche Museum of Treasures, there is everything here, you can choose slowly!" A little man shorter than Maca suddenly popped out of the back of a shelf, his sharp voice was better than the fairy of the Gringotts It's half a note higher.
"I just look."
Maca said casually, and pulled out one from the big basket beside the shelf ... oh no, half a wand. These half of the wand are scarred, and there are several deep scratches on the wand, and even the leaky dirty core can be seen at the fracture.
"This is a rarity?" Maca looked at the half-stick in her hand with a strange expression.
But the short wizard seemed to think it was a treasure. He waved his hands and exclaimed excitedly, "Oh yes! The magic wand used by Greenward in his school years, purple shirt, dragon heart cord, ten Four and three quarter inches ... I mean once. "
Marka sighed and threw the half of the wand back into the basket.
After a while, Maca picked up a few baubles on the shelf and watched, while the dwarf was dancing around him, ripping out a series of stories that sounded fake enough, seemingly counting on Maca's attention.
玛 When Maca put down her hand and left, he suddenly caught the corner of his eyes, and there was a faint blue light in the gap of the shelf!
Maca immediately looked away, pretending to squat to look at other goods, but she had a mind in her mind.
