Hogwarts magic is justice

Chapter 18 Knowledge is Wealth

Knowing full well that the young wizard was eager to go, Professor McGonagall did not go over immediately. Instead, she took Owen to a Muggle community where she was to guide another student.

"Mr. Granger, Madam, and..."

Professor McGonagall looked at the little witch, who was also looking on with anticipation, and said, "Miss Granger, I think we can prepare to set off."

As Muggles, the Grangers were a little nervous, but they quickly noticed the young wizard next to Professor McGonagall: "And this is...?"

"Mr. Granger, Mrs. Granger, hello. My name is Owen Carrot, and I am also a student who enrolled at Hogwarts this year. Also, it's a pleasure to meet you, Granger."

Owen didn't mention that he was a freshman. Although he didn't have a student status, the young wizards who took classes with him were already Level 3 after the start of the semester.

"Hermione, you can call me Hermione..." The little girl wasn't shy at all. After looking around and noticing that Owen had come alone, she asked directly, "Owen, I noticed you came alone. Your parents aren't with you. Are you from a wizarding family?"

Professor McGonagall's expression changed slightly, and just as she was about to speak, she felt the little wizard gently tug at her robe, so Professor McGonagall remained silent.

"No, I'm from a Muggle family, just like you. But my parents died in a car accident when I was seven. It's not that they didn't want to be with me, it's that they couldn't."

The Grangers' expressions changed as well. The little witch was taken aback at first, and then subconsciously prepared to apologize, but Owen smiled and said, "There's no need to apologize, because you don't know my situation. It was an unintentional mistake, not a fault. Although I lost my parents, I met many more people who love me. I feel very lucky."

The adults' gazes softened instantly; a sensible child always makes those with soft hearts feel even more heartache.

Hermione took the young wizard's hand and said, "Although you don't need it, I still want to apologize. I'm sorry, we're friends now. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me."

This is a very loyal little witch!

Owen smiled and nodded, just as he was about to speak, a furry head suddenly popped out from his collar and then looked at the little witch.

Leopard cats are natural masters of mind control and hypnosis, but Molly is still too young and her talents haven't fully developed yet. But the little furball is still very attractive.

"Wow! Is this your pet? It's so small and cute!"

Seeing the little witch about to touch her, Owen took a step back to avoid her. He rubbed his chin against Molly's head and said to the little witch, "Hermione, this is Molly. She's not my pet, she's my friend. And she's not a kitten, she's a leopard cat, a level 5X magical creature. You'd better not touch her since you've just met her."

Five-X level?

The little witch hadn't read the book yet, so she didn't know what this level meant. Professor McGonagall stepped in and said, "It's a dangerous animal on par with a dragon, Miss Granger. Owen is right, but don't worry. With Owen around, Molly is no threat. Alright, let's go."

They didn't use magic; instead, Mr. Granger drove over. When they arrived, they held the little witch's hand before they saw the bar. Once inside, the family of three clearly showed a hint of disgust.

Isn't that too dirty?

"Wizards are a group that is immune to illness, so there are some lazy adult wizards who don't pay much attention to hygiene, but this is not common."

Owen explained that he felt it necessary to speak up for the vast majority of wizards...

"Professor McGonagall, would you like a drink?"

Professor McGonagall smiled and shook her head in refusal, but to Hermione's surprise, the next second someone greeted Owen: "Hi! Isn't this Mr. Owen? Long time no see, you've gotten even more handsome!"

"Mr. Tom, it's a pleasure to see you again. You're still in such good spirits."

"Haha, how about a drink?"

Irving shrugged. "Sorry, although it's been a long time, I'm still underage and can't drink."

"Hahaha!"

The few wizards in the bar all laughed, and the scene was very joyful.

But the little witch was different. She stared at Owen and said, "This isn't your first time here?"

"No, when I was eight years old, I was arrested by the Ministry of Magic because of a magical disturbance. After Headmaster Dumbledore brought me out, I stayed here for a few days."

Arrested?

Was it when he was eight years old?

The little witch's mouth instantly formed an "O" shape, and Owen considerately lifted her chin slightly: "Don't worry, I'm not a criminal, I'm just a little... different."

When Diagon Alley came into view, the little witch's attention was instantly drawn to it. The street, with its strong magical atmosphere, left her breathless.

However, the first place to go is Gringotts, because the Granger family needs to exchange currency first, and Owen also needs to check his vault and take out some money. In addition to his wand, he also needs to buy a lot of books, especially the revised edition of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" which was released this year, as well as the "Transfiguration", "Potions" and "Charms Theory" books that he had ordered long ago, as well as the main course textbooks for grades four to seven.

He didn't have money before and didn't want the school and the principal to spend money on him, but now that he has some money, he has to buy all the books he needs that he can afford.

First, he helped the Granger family exchange their Galleons. Then, the fairy led Owen to his vault. When the vault door opened, Owen paused for a moment, then turned to the fairy and asked, "Are you sure this is the place? My name is Owen Carrot. Did we open the wrong door?"

The fairy chuckled dryly, "That's right, sir, this is the place."

Looking at the pile of Galleons, Professor McGonagall patted his head and laughed, "Don't underestimate your intelligence. Your notes on the history of magic are bestsellers."

Well, knowledge is wealth, and the number of Galleons proves that.

Owen took a third of the Galleons and walked out of Gringotts amidst the grumpy farewells of the fairies. Turning his head, he saw the little witch with a look of "I want to know."

But Professor McGonagall didn't give her a chance: "Darling, we have a lot to buy, let's start with... clothes, Owen, we'll meet at Ollivander's Wand Shop."

"Yes, Professor, I will do it as soon as possible."

After saying that, Owen plunged into Flourish and Blotts... Now that he had money, of course he would buy books first, as long as he left seven Galleons to buy a wand.
