Hogwarts, where the stars shine

Until he left Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Mesa's eyes were still filled with yellow gold and colorful gems.

It wasn't that Mesa was obsessed with wealth, but that the wealth accumulated by the Shafiq family was beyond his expectations.Shafiq is like this, doesn’t Black have to take off too? !

In an instant, Cassiopeia Black's haughty face became friendly.My aunt is a good person!

The two walked along the white stone steps towards the crowded crowd.As the start date of school gradually approaches, there are many students in Diagon Alley. They shuttle between various shops and make friends.

On the sunny street, Mesa and Lilia walked towards Tuofan Clothing Store.

The two of them walked and talked.Mesa almost blurted out, "Our dad, our mom is fine."

Fortunately, he didn't say anything, otherwise Lilia would have rolled her eyes, and her eyes must have revealed this sentence: You seem to have that serious illness!

The Tuofan Clothing Store is located on the south side of Diagon Alley. The clothes in this store are more expensive than Madam Malkin's Robe Shop, so when young wizards buy school robes, most of them will choose Madam Malkin.

Although Tuofan Clothing Store looks like a high-end store, the styles of clothes sold are also mediocre.

Wizards' clothing has always been far away from fashion. At most, there is a little change in the appearance of the robe, coupled with practical functions such as no washing and no ironing.It seems that the wizarding world has stagnated since it chose to hide wizarding society in the seventeenth century.

It is almost impossible to see long, white legs in the bustling Diagon Alley, let alone any silk.Overall, The Witcher's summer is extremely incomplete.

Mesa sat bored on the bench in the store, watching Lilia choose the style she liked.

Although Lilia's appearance is outstanding and can be said to be pleasing to the eye, Mesa still feels that going shopping with her is a kind of torture.

Mesa was so bored that she even started thinking about costume designs in her head.But Mesa gave up on the idea of ​​introducing the little black dress when she thought about the wizarding community's resistance to Muggle clothing.

After a long time, Lilia finally chose the clothes she wanted to buy.

Miss Shafiq didn't show off her wealth or yell, "Wrap it all up for me," but carefully selected two pieces of clothing.One is a navy blue lace robe, and the other is a bright green long skirt with knots.

To be honest, Mesa didn't see any big difference between the green dress and the other dress Lilia put back before.

Before leaving the Tuofan clothing store, Lilia also chose a suede top hat with a hood strap.She wanted to give the hat to Mesa as a gift.

But Mesa resolutely rejected Lilia's kindness, not because he thought it was okay to let a woman pay, but because the color of the suede hat was green.

This... is unnecessary. Although this is Britain, Mesa is still taboo.

When the two returned to the street, they each had an extra serving of strawberry peanut butter ice cream.They ate ice cream and wandered around the alleys, browsing the dazzling store windows.

"In other words, you have now confirmed that you are a descendant of Black." Lilia said, she already knew that Mesa had visited the elders of the Black family.

"Yes, Cassiopeia said it herself." Mesa said, "But not only am I a descendant of Squibs, my parents are also Muggles. So it is still a bit difficult to get the approval of other Blacks."

Lilia, who was holding the ice cream, stopped, looked at Mesa, and said seriously: "If they refuse to recognize you, it will be a loss for the Black family. Not because the Black family may be extinct, but because of you, Mesa... Black.”

"I have always firmly believed in this." Lilia's sudden comfort was like a warm current pouring into Mesa's heart.

Mesa always had the illusion that even if the whole world didn't believe him one day, the girl in front of him would stand firmly by his side.

"You believe in myself more than I do." Mesa said with a smile, "You don't have any prophet blood in your family, right?"

Lilia thought for a while and said with certainty: "No. On the contrary, there is no one in the Shafiq family who is good at prophecy. But we are very good at investing, very good at it."

After saying that, Lilia pointed to a building on the street and continued: "There, do you see it? My father spent a lot of money here. Although he didn't make many gold coins, he got a historic castle. .”

Following the direction of Lilia's finger, Mesa looked over.

59 Diagon Alley, a wizarding travel agency called Horror Tours.As you can tell from the name, this is no ordinary travel agency. The travel plans they provide are thrilling and even life-threatening.

For example, you can have close contact with the living dead on the Zombie Trail, spend the night in a haunted Muggle monastery, explore the Paris underground ossuary alone at night, take a boat trip to the Bermuda Triangle, etc.

Most importantly, this travel agency is not responsible for any injuries or deaths that may occur during these tours.

Sign up for a vacation with Horror Tours and you'll get a truly "your money, your life" trip of a lifetime.

"Perhaps, the castle you mentioned," Mesa suddenly thought of something, "couldn't it happen to be in Transylvania?"

Transylvania, the legendary home of vampires.The Muggle novel "Dracula" and the vampire Count Dracula in the movie "400 Years Later" are related to the Transylvanian Plateau.

"Yes, it's right there." Lilia said calmly, "I heard from my father that that castle originally belonged to a vampire. I remember that the horror trip had this travel plan."

Isn’t this right?The horror tour not only takes tourists to meet vampires, but also takes them to the gloomy primeval forest to find the werewolves living there in seclusion.

There is a reason for the small population. Mesa once again felt what "if you don't do it, you won't die."

Wandering in and out of the shops in Diagon Alley, Mesa carried more and more things on his hands, including clothes, shoes, silver scales, moonglasses, galaxy moving models, etc.

It wasn't until late afternoon that Mesa's hands were freed.The two of them sat under the brightly colored umbrellas outside the coffee house to eat, and from time to time the sounds of other people chatting could be heard in their ears.

"After school starts, how do you plan to deal with the students in the college?" Lilia asked, "They have been waiting for a whole summer, so it is difficult to deal with them in a few moments."

At the end of last school year, Mesa defeated Jenkins Benson in a duel, put on a show and ran.Although this approach is exciting, it is also destined that Mesa's life this semester will not be peaceful.

If you lose face, you will naturally want to get it back. The group of senior students may take turns to defeat Mesa in a wheel battle.Although it is a bit shameless, as long as they win, a few people will care how they win.

"Gascoyne," Mesa replied, "I plan to win over Gascoigne and his small group. I will use this small group to expand my influence in the academy."

"My relationship with Gemma Farley is not bad." Lilia thought for a while, "We can make some insinuations. If Gascoigne can come to us on his own initiative, we can take greater initiative."

Lilia's eyes were bright. Mesa just expressed her simple thoughts, and she was already thinking about how to promote this idea and implement the ideas in her mind.

Although many of Lilia's methods are still immature, her willingness to use her brain has surpassed many people.

If there were a few more children in the pure-blood family who were willing to think like her, they would surely reach glory again.

Unfortunately, pureblood families are lazier than the stagnant wizarding world.More often than not, they rest on their ancestors' merits and indulge in their ancestors' glory.

They only follow the madman and shout to kill, never thinking carefully about where they should go, and never thinking about how to make themselves great.

Looking at the nagging Lilia, Mesa's thoughts drifted back to the Scottish Highlands.No matter how the plan is implemented, he hopes that there will be no surprises in the school this year.
