MTL - Harry Potter: Hello the Dark Lord-Chapter 6 You might be a "Squib"
silent all night
The next morning, Qin Weijie woke up early, looking at the whole room, decorated in Rococo style, the bed could not have been more than 200 square meters, the whole room was outrageously luxurious.
Qin Weijie pouted and sighed: "The life of a rich person is unpretentious and boring..."
Marquis of Welfare didn't come to Qin Weijie last night. At nine o'clock in the evening, the housekeeper named Carter came once.
Inform Qin Weijie that he is going to Diagon Alley today to buy the things he needs for school.
Qin Weijie also asked about the Marquis of Welfare, and Mrs. Carter only said: "Mr. Marquis has returned to Welfare Castle in Southampton. This manor in London is too rudimentary, and Mr. Marquis has never been used to living there."
Qin Weijie: "..." I'll give you a look, you can experience it yourself.
Qin Weijie really couldn't agree with Mrs. Carter's rhetoric. He was afraid that he would be beaten to death if he acted like this...
Originally, Qin Weijie began to worry about the "unknown" in him because he read the letter his master left to him.
According to Qin Weijie's understanding, and through what Dumbledore said, the direct blood relatives of the Welfare family have had accidents one after another over the years, so we need to analyze them.
Qin Weijie guessed that the so-called "unknown" should be a curse of black magic, and this curse should be related to the mysterious death of the immediate blood relatives of the Welfare family.
This is likely to be a curse on the children of the Welfare family.
Last night, Qin Weijie wanted to ask about the Welfare family, but before he could ask, Mrs. Carter forced Qin Weijie to go to bed on the grounds that the teenage children needed to rest early.
"Mr. Felicity, we are about to go."
As soon as Qin Weijie got dressed, Mrs. Carter called in standard Chinese at the door of the room.
"Come in, I've already changed." Qin Weijie said, putting on the ice blue suit that Mrs. Carter had prepared for him last night.
As soon as Mrs. Carter entered the door, she stepped forward to help Qin Weijie sort out his clothes.
Since he was a child, he has always dressed himself. Being served by Mrs. Carter like this, Qin Weijie was really uncomfortable.
"By the way, please don't call me Mr. Welfare. I haven't promised to take my mother's surname."
Mrs. Carter smiled: "This is what Mr. Marquis ordered. From now on, Vijay Foley will be your name, at least in the UK, or in other words the whole world. After all, the UK is the center of the world.
Of course, if you return to Huaxia, you can continue to use your name. "
"God is the center of the world, you have only been the center for a few years? China has been the center for thousands of years..." Qin Weijie scoffed at the inexplicable confidence of Mrs. Carter.
Mrs. Carter was not angry when she saw this, and continued to smile: "Anyway, an oriental name is somewhat troublesome in Europe. You can save a lot of trouble by using this name."
As soon as he heard the word trouble, Qin Weijie stopped arguing with Mrs. Carter. He was the most afraid of trouble.
Anyway, following his father's surname and his mother's surname are the same in Qin Weijie's opinion. After all, he also experienced an era of prosperous culture in his previous life, and those traditional pedantic thoughts have no constraints on him.
After having an unpretentious breakfast, Qin Weijie left the manor with Mrs. Carter.
Qin Weijie didn't know until this time that the direction from which Lao Dengtou came in yesterday was only the back door of the manor. Today, he followed Mrs. Carter to the front door. It took half an hour to leave the manor, and Nima was still riding in a carriage.
Unpretentious, unpretentious, and boring...
The carriage drove all the way to Diagon Alley, and Qin Weijie had nothing to do to tease the two dogs.
"By the way, Mrs. Carter, your Chinese sounds very standard." Qin Weijie chatted casually.
"I went to Huaxia more than ten years ago and lived there for a while, and I learned some Chinese at that time."
"But your Chinese is obviously very fluent. You can't be so proficient just by staying for a while."
"This..." Mrs. Carter hesitated, but finally told Qin Weijie, "I served the second lady thirteen years ago, which is your mother. During that time, the second lady was crazy about learning Chinese, and she was very fascinated by everything about Huaxia. , and then she went to China with that person..."
"Oh, I see, it turned out to be abducted by my old man..."
"Mr. Foley, out of good intentions, I remind you not to mention your father in front of Mr. Marquis." Mrs. Carter looked serious
"Why..." Qin Weijie wanted to ask again, but stopped, "I understand, I understand, don't mention it, I definitely won't mention it..."
As Qin Weijie said that, a picture appeared in Qin Weijie's mind. The farmer's uncle worked hard to grow a good cabbage, but the pig was overwhelmed. The farmer's uncle's furious expression and the old welfare look, this picture seems to be a lot fresher.
Two hours later, the carriage finally came to the door of the Leaky Cauldron on Charing Cross Street.
When Qin Weijie and Mrs. Carter came to the door of the Leaky Cauldron, the name and pattern of the Leaky Cauldron appeared on the shabby sign in front of the Leaky Cauldron.
Qin Weijie also only learned about the brand of the Leaky Cauldron from Dumbledore yesterday, and it only shows up when wizards pass by.
And when the sign shows the name and pattern of the Leaky Cauldron, the inside of the bar can only be entered. Therefore, only wizards can enter here, and Muggles can't even see that there is a bar here.
Looking at the English name of the Leaky Cauldron, Qin Weijie couldn't help laughing a bit. The literal translation should be 'Leaky Cauldron'.
Leaving the cauldron bar is tacky when you think about it.
Looking at the pattern of the Broken Cauldron Bar, a three-legged container with a leaky bottom looks very much like a kind of Ding-style container in ancient China, so it should be the so-called 'cauldron'. A cauldron used for cooking in ancient China.
If you are not familiar with it, you can only, there is a poem to prove it: boiled beans to burn bean sprouts, beans cry in the kettle.
Thinking about it, we still have culture in China. A broken cauldron can translate such literature and art for you. We have to accept this. ChinaNb will not accept refutation.
Seeing Qin Weijie staring at the sign of the Broken Axe Bar for a long time, Mrs. Carter did not urge him, but began to tell Qin Weijie the history of the Broken Axe Bar.
But Qin Weijie wasn't interested in those blah blah blah things. After listening for a long time, he only remembered that the Leaky Cauldron was founded in 1500. Then, the Welfare family seemed to have a part of the shares, but Qin Weijie didn't understand the specifics.
Entering the bar, the owner of the bar, a sloppy young guy with a slightly hunchback, hurried forward to greet him flatteringly.
"Tom, I'm not here today to collect interest. Go ahead and do your own thing. Today I'm going to take Mr. Foley to buy the things he needs for school." Carter looked proud
"Mr. Xiao Fu!?" Tom looked at Qin Weijie in amazement. At this time, everyone in the bar also focused their attention on Qin Weijie's face.
In the past few years, the matter of the Welfare family has become a well-known anecdote in the magical world. Almost everyone believes that the Welfare family has been cursed by black magic.
However, they don't pay attention to who is targeting the Welfare family. They just want to know what will happen to the huge wealth accumulated by the Welfare family for generations if there are no direct blood relatives.
It has to be said that the soul of gossip is an indelible mark of human beings, even wizards are not exempt.
Under the strange eyes of everyone, Carter took Qin Weijie around the bar and entered a patio with walls on all sides. Qin Weijie had seen this in the movie, and this was the entrance to Diagon Alley.
And just after Qin Weijie and Mrs. Carter left, there was a heated discussion in the bar.
"Guess when the child died?"
"I guess he won't live to graduate from Hogwarts."
"Haha, I guess he won't live to enter Hogwarts..."
…
"Where shall we go first?" Qin Weijie asked
"Go to the Mokin robe store first, you need to customize a school uniform."
In the next two or three hours, Qin Weijie passively turned on the shopping mode. Like a robot that won't get tired, Mrs. Carter dragged Qin Weijie to visit the Mojin Robe Store, Lishen Bookstore, Wizard Barber Shop, Magic Spice Shop, Magic Shop. Leather Bag Shop, Patchy Crucible Shop, and Diagon Alley Stationery Store.
Qin Weijie's energy was basically exhausted, and Mrs. Carter was still alive and well.
"Could it be that thirty is like a wolf and forty is like a tiger? Women are too scary..." Qin Weijie complained, suspected of driving at the scene.
"Mrs. Carter, you don't mind taking a break, I'm afraid I'm going to die if you keep walking like this..."
"Oh, I'm really sorry, the main thing is that in addition to buying the things you need for school, you also need to order some supplies in the manor." Mrs. Carter looked apologetic
"Well then, you are still short of a wand. You can go to Ollivander's wand shop to pick it up and take a rest. I'll find you later."
"Ok!"
When it was finally time to pick out a wand, Qin Weijie began to secretly get excited.
"Wait a minute, don't you think you want to give me some money?" Qin Weijie shouted at Mrs. Carter.
"People from the Welfare family never have to pay in Diagon Alley."
Saying that, Mrs. Carter walked away.
At this time, Qin Weijie realized that it seemed to be the case. Mrs. Carter hadn't paid even 1 nat since entering Diagon Alley.
Every time they enter a store, the store owner seems to respect them. For example, in the Mojin robe store, the store owner, Mojin, used the most precious materials in the store to make Qin Weijie a school uniform, and also gave a bunch of brooch accessories as a gift. .
In Lihen Bookstore, the owner had prepared a full set of textbooks for Qin Weijie early on, and also included many other books for basic magic courses.
…
What kind of existence is the Welfare family in the magical world?
This question has been lingering in Qin Weijie's mind.
Pushing open the door of Ollivander's wand shop, it was filled with countless shelves, and each shelf was full of wands.
"Aha, I've been thinking, when exactly did you come here."
Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded from the depths of the shelf. No one heard it first. Qin Weijie was taken aback by this squeaking sound.
"Fuck!" At this time, only a scolding from the country could soothe Qin Weijie's young and tender heart.
"The wood and core of a wand are both spiritual. The combination of different woods and cores will produce wands with different characters, and because wands have different characters, they have different requirements for their owners." Levander looked on the shelves while talking to himself, without asking Qin Weijie's needs at all.
"Ah, come on, try this, apple wood, unicorn tail hair at the core, twelve and a half inches, perfect, stable, reliable. The wand told me he needed a man with lofty ideals and a heart Kind master, I think the master he is waiting for must be you!"
Speaking of which, Ollivander handed a brown-red wand to Qin Weijie.
Starting with the wand, no visions appeared, as if a wooden stick was in his hand.
Qin Weijie swiped a few times, but the wand didn't respond at all. I'm more useful than you for sticking a wooden stick on the mountain.
"Hehe, he is indeed very stable, very stable..." Qin Weijie said helplessly
Ollivander frowned and drew another wand.
"That must be this one, yew wood, the nerve of the dragon, eleven inches, very powerful and dangerous, he hopes his master is a powerful wizard with ambition."
As a result, it is more stable than the previous one.
"Acacia wood, phoenix tail feathers, twelve inches..."
useless
"Black walnut, Thestral's tail hair..."
Super stable
"Hawthorn wood, the mane of a horse-shaped water monster..."
No use at all.
…
An hour later, Qin Weijie was leaning lazily on the sofa, Ollivander was busy carrying his wands, and wands as tall as a person were already piled up in front of Qin Weijie, and there were also piles on the counter.
"Oh, God, you won't be a squib..." Ollivander leaned against the counter panting and looked at Qin Weijie in disbelief.
Qin Weijie shrugged: "Don't ask me, I don't know, I don't know, I don't understand..."
Qin Weijie was also drunk. In his previous life, he had read several fan works from the Harry Potter series, although none of them had been read.
But coincidentally, every time it comes to choose a wand, Ollivander has to be exhausted to death. Thinking about Ollivander is also quite miserable. The wand maker who can't find a wand every day is no wonder it is nicknamed a wand mentally handicapped.
"Okay, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com let's choose a wand for you in a different way."
Ollivander is obviously going to start a big move.
In the next 20 minutes, Qin Weijie felt as if his household registration had been checked.
Ollivander conducted an in-depth interview with him, from his birthday, experience, how old was the bed-wetting, when was not bed-wetting, when was walking, when was eating, did he have any favorite little girls, did he have any favorite boys, etc. Wait…
"The last few questions, do you think you are an ambitious person?"
"No, I don't have any ambitions. It's good to have a good life."
"Are you a person with lofty ideals?"
"Eternal prosperity, does world peace count?"
"This ideal is a bit big." Ollivander's face was serious, and he couldn't hear Qin Weijie's ridicule at all. "Then are you willing to give everything for the ideal?"
"Uh, you're still really stubborn! I'm willing to use a hammer, just think about it. If you don't level a country, it's estimated that peace won't be possible until the next century..."
"The last question, can you try to use your own magic? Try it without using a wand." Ollivander encouraged.
"I haven't tried it, why don't you try it now?"
After saying that, Qin Weijie looked at a fish tank not far away. Qin Weijie stared at the fish tank, trying to control the water to fly out in his mind.
However, he still underestimated the difficulty of magic, the water in the bathtub remained motionless.
Seeing this, Ollivander looked helpless and said tentatively, "You might really be a squib..."
As soon as Squib's cannon words were spoken, Ollivander's expression changed instantly.
"My God, my God, stop! Didn't you see that the fish in the fish tank was dead? What did you do? Are you making fish soup?"
