Kyle comes here once a year to buy new books for the start of school, as well as consumables such as ink and parchment.

But there is no change here every time he comes, and this year is no exception.

The dim lights, the old patinaed tables, and the noisy customers around, everything was no different from before.

After Newt Apparated back to Dorset, Kyle walked into the backyard and entered Diagon Alley from the entrance here.

Kyle first went to the House of Scholars to buy a large amount of parchment and ink, and then walked towards Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

He doesn't need to buy too many new textbooks this year. In addition to "The Monster Book of Monsters", he only needs to buy one more book, "Detailed Explanation of Intermediate Runic Symbols".

When passing by the Quidditch boutique, Kyle found that there were many people gathered there.

Everyone was pushing forward, as if they wanted to get closer to the window. Kyle also saw a familiar face in the crowd... Harry Potter.

His head was clamped by the arm of a big wizard, and his face was almost squeezed out of shape, but he didn't seem to care at all. His green eyes were fixed on the things in the window, and he wiped the corners of his mouth from time to time, revealing a very satisfied expression.

...It's quite vulgar and a bit stupid.

"Harry, what are you doing here!?"

Kyle called out three times in a row before Harry came back to his senses.

"Kyle!"

Harry reluctantly turned his eyes away from the window and smiled, "Great, I'm glad to see you here."

"What were you looking at?" Kyle asked. "It was the Firebolt!"

Harry suddenly became excited when he heard this, and kept telling Kyle what an excellent broom it was.

"Streamlined design... the ash wood handle and the birch wood tail branch that has also been polished into a streamlined shape...

And, did you know that it can accelerate from zero to 150 miles per hour in just ten seconds, making it the fastest broom in the world!"

Harry wanted to spend the whole day raving about how great the Firebolt was.

Kyle wasn't as excited.

Firebolt is good, but his Nimbus 2000 is also good.

Moreover, when the Nimbus 2000 was first launched, it was also the fastest broom in the world, and the earlier Sideswipe 150 was the same.

So, everyone has their moments of glory, and to some extent we are all the same.

"I'm going to Flourish and Blotts to buy new textbooks. What about you?" Kyle asked, "Do you want to stay here and read Firebolt? But I suggest you go inside the store. If you just want to take a look, you don't have to spend any money."

"No, I've seen it many times in the past few days... In fact, because of some things, I have lived here for many days."

Harry shook his head. "I want to look for Ron and Hermione. They should be here soon."

"If that's the case..." Kyle pointed to the Florin Fusco Ice Cream Shop not far away, "Are those two people over there them?"

"Huh?" Harry turned around.

Although they were just two silhouettes from behind, he recognized them at a glance. The two people buying ice cream were Hermione and Ron.

"Hermione, Ron!" he shouted excitedly.

The two turned around and were also surprised.

"Harry!"

"Kyle!"

Ron waved and ran over excitedly.

"Finally I see you."

Listening to Ron's words, Kyle subconsciously thought of Harry hiding in the crowd with only his butt sticking out.

If he hadn't accidentally seen the pair of green eyes reflected in the window glass, he probably wouldn't have noticed Harry.

After a while, Hermione came over with four big ice creams in her hands.

"Thank you." Kyle took the ice cream and took a bite.

Almond chocolate flavor, tastes pretty good.

Several people walked forward aimlessly while eating ice cream.

However, during the conversation, they inevitably talked about Harry's situation.

"So, Harry, you really did blow up your aunt?" Hermione asked seriously.

"I didn't mean to do that," said Harry. "I was just so angry that I couldn't control myself."

Ron laughed out loud.

"This is no laughing matter, Ron," said Hermione sternly. "To be honest, I'm surprised Harry wasn't expelled.

You should know that if a young wizard violates the rules and uses magic outside of school twice in a row, he will be expelled. And Harry was warned once last year. "

"I wonder too," said Harry. "Fudge just let me live here, and there was no other punishment. Tell me, why did he let me go?"

"Maybe it's because it's you... the famous Harry Potter." Ron shrugged and chuckled, "I can't imagine how the Ministry of Magic would deal with me if I inflated an aunt.

But first they have to dig me out of the ground, because my mother will have killed me before that."

After saying this, Ron couldn't help laughing.

Hermione and Harry laughed too.

Anyway, not being fired and not being punished is already the best outcome.

They walked a little further and soon arrived at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

Kyle was going to buy new textbooks, and the rest of the group went to the pet store a few dozen meters away.

Hermione wants to buy herself a pet, and Ron decides to go and take a look at his pet rat.

"Last year, Banban was like this. He became thinner and thinner, and looked lifeless all the time." He held the mouse in his hands. "I thought that going out to play would make him feel better, but now it seems that he is still having trouble adapting to the local climate."

After the few people separated at the door, Kyle walked into the chaotic Flourish and Blotts bookstore.

Although no one was fighting in Flourish and Blotts this year, there were dozens of copies of "Monster Books of Monsters". These books were fiercely tearing each other apart, as if they were in a fierce wrestling match, and broken pieces of paper were everywhere.

A clerk, wearing thick gloves, was hitting the books with a large, knotty cane, trying to separate them.

"Hello..." He took the time to look at Kyle, "If you want to buy these books, you may have to wait a while. I have to separate them first... Shut up! Don't bite it! Damn it, I'm never buying this stuff again, never again, it's a mess!"

"It doesn't matter, I already have that book," Kyle said.

"Really?" The clerk suddenly showed a relieved expression, "Thank God, I have been bitten by them five times today... So, what do you want?"

"I need "Intermediate Runic Symbols Explained"

"Ah, so you're starting to study ancient runes in depth, right?" The clerk took off his gloves and found the book Kyle needed in a corner of the store.

“Not many people will buy this because the course is too difficult, but it is undeniably a very good guide with very detailed content.”

He handed the book over. "That's two Galleons."
