Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

"Qin, you're amazing! You cut the price in half!" Hagrid was very satisfied with his purchase of the three-headed dog and was extremely impressed with Qin Yu's abilities.

"Actually, if you don't seem so eager, you can negotiate the price down," Qin Yu said.

"That price was definitely not as low as the one you negotiated. Didn't you see the boss's expression? He was heartbroken... Do you think he lost a lot of money on this deal?" Hagrid said, sounding a little guilty at the end.

"You actually sympathize with that unscrupulous merchant?" Qin Yu was speechless at the simple-minded uncle's naivety. He sighed and continued, "I can tell you with absolute certainty that this person definitely still has at least a hundred gallons of profit left!"

"Huh?!" Hagrid was somewhat incredulous.

"You assess this three-headed dog yourself. What's your price range?" Qin Yu said irritably.

"Between one hundred and fifty and two hundred Galleons, but these creatures are not easy to encounter, and I haven't seen one in a long time..." Hagrid replied.

"So, we'll give him 245. He's already made a lot of money. There's an Eastern proverb that says, 'From the capital in the south to the capital in the north, the buyer is never as shrewd as the seller.' I'm giving you this saying; think about it carefully." Qin Yu was giving the simple-minded uncle a free lesson in the art of buying and selling.

"Oh, I get it!" Hagrid nodded, a look of sudden realization on his face.

Qin Yu was thinking to himself, "This kid is teachable," when Hagrid's next words almost made him choke.

“From now on, I’ll definitely take you with me when I go shopping, so I can save a lot of money!” Hagrid said happily.

Looking into Hagrid's honest yet wise eyes, Qin Yu suddenly realized that this guy must be the legendary wise man who appears foolish.

……

Qin Yu lent Hagrid 235 Galleons and even allowed him to repay in twelve installments. The reason was simple: Hagrid really didn't have the money and could only scrape together the funds slowly.

As a result, Qin Yu became Haige's major creditor, which gave him a sense of confidence in front of this big guy.

However, Hagrid showed no remorse as the debtor. He sent Qin Yu to the wand shop to choose a wand on his own, while he himself went off to arrange for Fulwei's shipment.

—Oh, Louie is the name Hagrid just gave to that three-headed dog.

After the two parted ways, Qin Yu walked towards the wand shop to continue his "half-day tour of Diagon Alley".

He passed by a shop and saw several little boys standing there, their eyes shining as they stared at the flying brooms displayed in the shop window.

Qin Yu thought to himself, "This must be the flying broom that Harry will use later, the new Nimbus 2000."

In the world of flying brooms, there are many different levels. The Sweeping series is roughly like a bicycle, the Nimbus 2000 is like a small car, and the Fire Arrow is like a supercar.

It is said that the price of a fire crossbow bolt is around one or two thousand Galleons, or even higher. Qin Yu certainly doesn't have the financial means to buy one, and he also doesn't have a godfather from a wealthy family like Sirius Black.

First-year students are prohibited from bringing flying brooms, so he no longer needs to worry about which one to buy.

Qin Yu continued walking forward, glancing at the shops in Diagon Alley and buying items such as robes, cloaks, crucibles, and scales, all of which were on the enrollment list.

Of course, he actually had the urge to buy many things he saw, even those disgusting-looking bat entrails and eel eyeballs. Unfortunately, he didn't have much money left after lending it to Hagrid.

However, he still chose a hair clip with a cat pattern, intending to give it to Hermione.

"Little boy, let me tell you, this hair clip is very popular right now. It's not only pretty, but it also glows in the dark. Little girls love it," the old woman at the grocery store said with a smile.

Qin Yu imagined Hermione wearing this hair clip, especially the image of it glowing at night, and he found it quite interesting.

So he smiled and said, "I hope she likes it."

Then, Qin Yu paid 10 sisal to buy the hair clip and kept it safe.

—Well, he only realized after he had walked quite a distance that he seemed to have forgotten to haggle.

……

"Olivendine, a thousand-year-old brand, has finally been found!"

Although Qin Yu had seen the movie, he still felt that the wand shop, which had a history of nearly 2400 years, was too dilapidated.

Perhaps the magical world values ​​this old-fashioned "good wine needs no bush" approach. Qin Yu thought to himself.

His hand pressed against the aged door, as if sensing the ancient breath of time, and then, with excitement, he pushed the door open and entered...

“Oh, young sir, hello! Are you here to buy a wand?” Ollivander, a thin man with messy hair, greeted Qin Yu.

“Yes, Mr. Ollivander, I want to choose my first wand,” Qin Yu said.

"The first one? Looks like you're a freshman this year. But it's already September 1st, you're a bit late," Ollivander teased.

"Well, it's mainly because my enrollment guide picked me up rather late..." Qin Yu said awkwardly.

“Well, it’s alright. Although we’re a bit pressed for time, I’m sure you’ll find the wand you’re looking for here! Your first wand!” Ollivander said with a smile.

Next, he began searching for a suitable wand based on Qin Yu's size.

"A sandalwood dragon heartstring wand core, try this!" Boss Ollivander took a wand from a wooden box and handed it to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu held it in his hand, thought about the scene in the movie, and then waved his hand.

Before his hand could even fall, Ollivander hurriedly snatched the wand from Qin Yu's hand.

“This one is obviously unsuitable. The Dragon Heartstring will increase your destructive power and danger. I can’t afford to mess with it here…” Ollivander muttered, putting away the wand with the sandalwood Dragon Heartstring core.

Then he searched through the compartments for the wooden box, muttering to himself, "Beech wood, no good... Troll whiskers, a bit too much... Thunderbird tail feathers, like the dragon's heartstring, too dangerous... Oh, holly wood, phoenix feathers, these are obviously even less suitable... Silver willow wood, unicorn hair! Wow, that's it!"

After searching around, Ollivander finally happily pulled a wooden box from the shelf, opened it, and took out a silver-gray wand.

“Try it, child!” Ollivander handed him the wand.

Qin Yu carefully took the wand and raised it again, but this time Ollivander did not stop him.

As Qin Yu lowered his wand, a soft light suddenly illuminated the room.

“Silver willow is tough, and unicorn hair is gentle and calming. The combination of the two allows you to better control your power! A wand is like a companion; only by complementing each other can you unleash perfect magic!” Ollivander remarked with deep emotion.

Looking at Ollivander's ambiguous smile, Qin Yu secretly guessed that this old scepter—oops, old magician—must have figured something out.

Ollivander prevented him from using the Dragonheart String Wand because the Obscurus power within him was powerful and easily out of control.

However, the one made of silver willow wood and unicorn hair was relatively gentle, allowing Qin Yu to control the power within his body very well.

What suits you best is the best!

Qin Yu couldn't help but admire Ollivander's professionalism in making such a thoughtful choice; they truly had a keen eye and were thorough in every aspect.

"Thank you, Mr. Ollivander!" Qin Yu said sincerely.

"Haha, don't be so polite. My life's goal is to help everyone who comes to buy a wand find the one that belongs to them!" Ollivander said with a smile.

Holding his first magic wand in both his lives, Qin Yu felt an overwhelming surge of excitement as he sensed the aura emanating from it.

From now on, you will follow me on my adventures in this magical world! Qin Yu said silently in his heart.

As if sensing Qin Yu's thoughts, the wand trembled slightly, and its tip emitted a soft light.

……

After choosing the wand, Qin Yu paid 7 Galleons and then put it away with satisfaction.

Looking at the money pouches with only a few Galleons and a dozen or so Silver Sickles left, he vividly experienced what it meant to be "empty-pocketed".

"A thousand Galleons is a lot, but it's not enough to just sit around and eat it all up," Qin Yu sighed inwardly.

"Goodbye, Mr. Ollivander!" Qin Yu said politely to Ollivander while thinking about how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

"Goodbye, little boy, welcome back next time!" Ollivander said goodbye to him, then, as if suddenly remembering something, added, "By the way, if there's any problem with your wand, I can offer one free refill replacement service!"

Qin Yu was about to step outside when he heard Ollivander's words and his eyes lit up, so he stopped in his tracks.

Qin Yu asked cautiously, "Mr. Ollivander, do you accept materials for wand cores? For example, unicorn hair, phoenix feathers, or something like that?"

He had just heard Ollivander mention these things.

Ollivander was taken aback upon hearing this, and subconsciously nodded, saying, "Sure, these are all very useful materials, essential for me to make wands."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu smiled happily.

He pictured Hagrid's entire roster of magical creatures, as well as Dumbledore's phoenix.
