Hogwarts: Don't call me Wandmaker

Chapter 9 I think this behavior is very rude

After the topic of wands, the carriage became unusually quiet. This was mainly because Hermione was a little hesitant to continue talking to Siren, fearing that he would irritate Neville again.

Xi Lun was also happy to have some free time. When the train became less bumpy, he started flipping through the book in his hand again.

Compared to chatting with Miss Know-It-All, the wand is more interesting.

This book was given to him by Ollivander before he set off, and much of the content in it opened Xiren's eyes.

Well, Ollivander's Wand Shop has been around for more than two thousand years, which is even longer than Hogwarts' history. What's left is not just the small, shabby shop in Diagon Alley.

Although the book in Xilun's hand was not the oldest one, but was just a "new book" from more than 500 years ago, it was enough for him.

……

From morning to afternoon, the sky gradually darkened. When Xi Lun raised his head again, Hermione and Neville were gone, and he was the only one left in the carriage.

"Are we there yet?" Xi Lun subconsciously looked out the window.

The sky was low and gray, which made me feel a little depressed.

But at this time, the lights in the car also came on. Under the dim light, the outside of the car window suddenly became pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly.

Also, Hermione is back.

"Xi Lun, you..." She opened the door of the box and was slightly stunned.
"what happened?"

"Ah, nothing." Hermione shook her head and explained, "I thought you were still reading, so I came to remind you to change into your robes quickly. We will be there soon."

"Thank you." Xi Lun nodded.

"You're welcome," said Hermione.

She came back to get her luggage and to remind Xi Lun at the same time.

But before she could take the box down, Xi Lun stopped her.

"No need, someone will help us carry our luggage."

"Are you sure?" Hermione was a little skeptical.

"Of course." Xi Lun said with a smile, "If everyone drags several large boxes, the transportation provided by the school may not be enough."

Hermione became even more confused.

She really wanted to ask what kind of transport it was, but by then, the train had come to a complete stop.

"Please leave your luggage on the train and we will send it to school for you." This voice echoed in the train, confirming Xi Lun's words.

They really don't have to carry luggage.

"First-year students, first-year students, come here!" Another unfamiliar voice came from outside.

"Let's get out quickly too," Hermione said, looking puzzledly at Xiren as he took a small cowhide bag off the luggage rack.

"It's safer to carry some valuable things yourself." Xi Lun put the bag on his back and covered it with a loose robe.

During this process, occasional tinkling sounds could be heard from the bag.

Hermione suddenly guessed something.

It should be gold and silver coins. If so, she really has to carry them herself. Her money is all in her pocket, but not as much as Xi Lun, so she has to keep it in a separate bag.

This is not surprising. The Wand Family is equivalent to an arms dealer in the wizarding world and is certainly not short of money.

Speaking of being rich, she just met a boy who was said to come from a wealthy family. He had no manners at all and brought two followers with him, and they seemed to be raising their noses to the sky.

In comparison, Xi Lun's personality was much better, and he was always patient with her and Neville.

I just tried a little too hard and kept reading on the train.

Although she was reading a "leisure book" and not a textbook, she couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

However, Xi Lun had no idea what Hermione was thinking. After changing into his robes, he followed the crowd off the train.

Outside, a huge giant was holding a lantern and shouting:

"…Sorry Harry, I don't have time to talk to you more right now. First years, come over here."

Neville, who had gotten off the car first, was already beside him and was waving vigorously at Ciron and Hermione. "This way, come quickly!"

"Neville..." Hermione walked over quickly and asked, "Did you find your toad?"

"No." Neville's face instantly became depressed. "I've asked in all the boxes, and no one said they saw Leif..."

"Maybe it's hiding in some hidden corner," Hermione said. "That's okay. I'll go find the driver and ask him to look for it for you while he's unloading your luggage. The train is so small, I'm sure he'll find it."

"Thank you, Hermione." Neville was so moved that he almost cried.

He was really touched. Hermione was the first stranger in his life who was willing to help him like this.

But before they could act, a shrill cat cry attracted everyone's attention.

On the other side of the crowd, Xi Lun grabbed his pet's collar with one hand and forcibly pulled it out of its mouth...

A toad?
At this moment, a light appeared above their heads.

In the light, Neville could see the toad clearly.

"Livot!" he cried ecstatically, and ran over quickly to take the toad from Siren.

"Thank you!"

"Don't say that." Xiren shook his head. He wanted to say something else, but Hagrid was already over.

The eleven-foot giant had an incredible impact on the freshmen. Everyone's attention was drawn to him, including Neville.

Xi Lun didn't say anything else.

Led by Hagrid, everyone began to stumble forward.

Xi Lun walked at the back, looking at Tom, whose face was full of dissatisfaction.

"I'm not trying to steal your prey," Xiren said, not caring whether Tom could understand or not.

"...But Laifu is also a pet. Technically speaking, you two are half colleagues. I personally think eating a colleague is very rude."

"Ouch!" howled Tom.

"You think so too, don't you?" Xi Lun said to himself, while touching Tom's head.

Tom the cat was completely dumbfounded. When did he agree? He was clearly cursing just now.

That's its prey!

He was caught in the grass by the roadside. How can he be a colleague?

Besides, even if it is really a colleague, it ate a lot when it was in the pet store. If you really calculate its value, it is worth at least fifteen Galleons.

Unfortunately, Xi Lun didn't understand what it said and continued to talk to himself.

"Before we get to the castle, let's make a pact not to eat our colleagues, okay?"

"Ow!"

"If you eat it, I'll have to pay you. You know I don't have many Galleons, and they all have other uses..."

"Woo...Ah!" He continued to struggle.

"Of course, if you insist on not changing it, I can only save money in other ways... For example, try to see if a half-blood magical animal can replace the original wand core."

Xi Lun suddenly narrowed his eyes. "I remember that the cats at Eeyore Owl Shop all have some Kneazle bloodline, so they are particularly smart. You should be the same, right?"

"Meow~"

The pressure on my wrist suddenly eased, and then I felt a soft and wet feeling on my hand.

Looking again, Tom, who had been struggling violently, suddenly became docile and was now licking his hand obediently. Even the sound he made became similar to a normal cat's meow.

It's still a little thick, and I feel like I want to clamp it but I don't know how.

But none of this matters.

"Good Tom..." Xiren smiled and patted the cat's head, "I knew you could understand me."
