Chapter 857: Dream Story: Re-edited Version

The last time Flourish and Blotts had such a big move was before Lockhart was arrested.

Harry leaned against the railing, looking around curiously.

In the crowd constantly heading toward the bookstore, he discovered a wizard walking quietly in the opposite direction.

"Xiang Xien!"

Harry shouted in surprise.

The young wizard in the crowd looked up, and could see Harry, Jia Siting, and others waving at him excitedly.

He walked through the crowded crowd and arrived near Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour.

"Good morning."

Xiang Xien said.

"Waited for you too long!"

Hemin rolled her eyes at him.

"Sorry, searching for the external wisdom of the Lumos spell—pronunciation and gestures took me some time..."

Xiang Xien hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by Jia Siting.

"Oh, Xiang Xien, let's talk about this next time."

Jia Siting said with a bright smile.

"Yeah, please don't make me think I'm still at school—"

Luo En echoed.

"We've bought all the books, right? Is there anything missing?"

Jia Siting looked around and said.

"Of course, but what's up with those 'Monster Book of Monsters'?"

We said we were going to buy two, and the clerk almost cried."

Luo En pointed to a large bag under his chair.

"What are those things, Hemin?"

Harry asked curiously, pointing to the three bulging bags on the chair beside her.

"Oh, I chose more new classes than you, didn't I?"

Hemin said,

"Those are all my textbooks, Astronomy, Care of Magical Creatures, Divination, Ancient Runes, Muggle Studies—"

"Why are you studying Muggle Studies?"

Luo En said, rolling his eyes at Harry,

"You are Muggle-born to begin with. Your mom and dad are both Muggles—you already know everything about Muggle things!"

"If you have questions about this, you can ask Xiang Xien and Jia Siting; they both chose it."

Hemin said indignantly.

"Hmm... knowledge is never too much."

Xiang Xien replied naturally.

"Me too."

Jia Siting said with a smile.

"Uh-huh, and, studying them from a wizard's perspective will definitely be interesting."

Hemin said enthusiastically.

"Me too."

Jia Siting echoed again.

"Alright, Jia Siting, I think even if Xiang Xien and the others chose Divination, you would follow along, right?"

Luo En blinked his eyes playfully,

"Xiang Xien, are you going to choose Divination? Oh, you are going to choose... great, me too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Harry burst out laughing, and even Nawei was trembling while covering his mouth.

"Luo En... you're right, learning is not a very fun thing, but if friends are together, the fun appears naturally."

Jia Siting wasn't annoyed at all, but smiled and explained,

"My mother told me that with friends, even the most rugged path is the best."

Luo En didn't continue speaking this time; he thought seriously:

"You're right, me too!"

The crowd was boisterous, and Xiang Xien watched silently from the side, also slowly raising the corners of his mouth.

After a while, while the crowd at Flourish and Blotts was still noisy, Harry looked at the large pile of books and asked:

"Are you still planning to eat and sleep this year, Hemin?"

Luo En smirked on the side, Hemin ignored them, and turned to look at the crowded Flourish and Blotts, seeming a bit unable to understand why there would be such a big change after ten o'clock.

"Shall we go in and see?"

Hemin asked hesitantly; although she was asking everyone, she looked straight at Xiang Xien.

"Let's go see."

Jia Siting seemed very interested; for him, being with friends, doing anything would be fun.

"Hmm."

Xiang Xien thought silently about what Master Newt would write in the books, and looked at Flourish and Blotts where the copper bell was ringing.

So the six young wizards naturally merged into the crowd.

There were all kinds of wizards in the crowd, all excitedly talking to each other.

While walking, they found that there was a huge banner every ten meters on the way to Flourish and Blotts, with all kinds of exciting words written on them.

【Dream or Nightmare, are there really elves in wizards' dreams?】

【Gods or Magic, those things you missed in your sleep!】

【If you still don't know the Dream Master who holds good luck, you will definitely be unlucky next!】

"Wow!"

Xiang Xien heard Luo En look at the banner and let out a low cry.

He observed silently; the closer to the bookstore entrance, the more banners there were.

At the main entrance, however, it went against the rule, and only one huge banner was listed:

【Thank you to the wizard who bought the first copy of "Dreams and Gods": The Honorable Mr. Dumbledore】

"Headmaster Dumbledore—"

Xiang Xien heard Hemin exclaiming.

He stared at the four big characters of Dumbledore, thinking that Headmaster Dumbledore seemed more leisurely than he had imagined.

And Flourish and Blotts, it was just short of writing a slogan saying Dumbledore had been here.

"I'm going to buy—"

Hemin squeezed hard toward the front.

Xiang Xien looked, thinking this might be the celebrity effect?

Soon, Hemin's voice and figure were drowned out by the enthusiastic wizards.

"Give me two!"

"I want ten!"

"Collector's edition, sir, I want the collector's edition!"

A weary-looking male wizard stood at the door, stopping the wizards who were squeezing their heads, and said:

"Ladies, gentlemen, quiet... don't crowd... watch out for the books..."

Xiang Xien followed the crowd, the winding queue stretching from the door to the back of the bookstore; when he picked up a copy of "Dreams and Gods" to read, he unexpectedly discovered a familiar back.

"My god, it's actually Mr. Newt Scamander—"

It was Hemin speaking.

Xiang Xien looked up; the old Hufflepuff senior was shyly signing books, giving a sincere smile to every wizard who came to buy.

On his shoulders were three Kneazles, all lazily lying in the sun, their fur glowing with gold edges.

A tall female wizard wearing a purple coat was walking back and forth around him, holding a large black camera and taking pictures.

Every time the flash flashed dazzlingly, puffs of purple smoke sprayed out of the camera.

Xiang Xien suddenly realized he had still underestimated the old Hufflepuff senior's emphasis on this book.

So he gradually became curious: a knowledgeable, magically profound wizard, how did he view the Boundary and dreams? ===== CHAPTER 858 =====
