He rubbed his slightly bloated stomach and suddenly noticed he had gained some extra fat. He rushed to the mirror in the washroom and saw that his facial contours had indeed become rounder...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen sighed inwardly—he never imagined that in this life, he would become a fat homebody just like in his last one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Allen quickly pulled himself together, returned to his post, and resumed sipping his boiled water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a thought popped into his mind: as a fat homebody, he was missing a cup of Fat Boy Happy Water!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The idea immediately took hold of him—he realized he could buy Fat Boy Happy Water in the Muggle world, but then remembered he had no money to buy it; his pockets held only a few bronze Knuts, which were worth more than a bottle of cola, but Fat Boy Happy Water required pounds, and Gringotts wouldn’t handle such small currency exchanges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the urge to drink Fat Boy Happy Water was impossible to suppress—he hadn’t had any in over two years—and this craving made his mind active. He suddenly remembered he still had two rhinoceros horns tucked away in his trunk; Hagrid had said rhinoceros horns were extremely valuable magical materials, worth many Jin Jialong...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen’s thoughts instantly perked up. He quickly found the horns and dashed off to the magical materials shop in Diagon Alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the largest wholesale and retail hub for magical goods in Britain, Diagon Alley had a thriving trade in magical materials; after asking several shops, Allen sold each horn for fifteen Jin Jialong...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty Jin Jialong now filled Allen’s pockets, and instantly he felt his posture straighten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, Allen actually held Jin Jialong in his hands—he had only ever touched them in dreams before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his way back, Allen felt as if he were walking on clouds; listening to the jingling of the Jin Jialong in his pocket, he felt deeply satisfied, and even his steps grew lighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at the shop, Allen carefully wiped each Jin Jialong with velvet until they gleamed, then arranged them on the table, watching them shimmer with enchanting light...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen decided he would go out later to exchange one Jin Jialong for pounds—not at Gringotts, but at the unofficial exchange points he’d seen while strolling near Gringotts a few days ago; there, one Jin Jialong fetched twice as many pounds as at Gringotts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging it, he would head to London after work to buy Fat Boy Happy Water! That was his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, an owl flew in swiftly and dropped a letter into his lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen took the letter with a puzzled expression; the envelope was made of yellow parchment, and inside it instructed him to take the Hogwarts Express on September 1st to Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The letter also listed the new books he would need for the year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second-year students must read:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standard Spellbook, Level Two, by Miranda Goshawk;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Break with the Banshee, by Gilderoy Lockhart;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gadding with Ghouls, by Gilderoy Lockhart;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holidays with Hags, by Gilderoy Lockhart;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Travels with Trolls, by Gilderoy Lockhart;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Voyages with Vampires, by Gilderoy Lockhart;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanderings with Werewolves, by Gilderoy Lockhart;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Year with the Yeti, by Gilderoy Lockhart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen thought he was hallucinating—he reread the new book list carefully, but the titles were unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his memory, none of the books he had received last year were authored by Gilderoy Lockhart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only buy the new books, but he knew the price of magical texts well—his thirty Jin Jialong was more than enough to buy them all, and his Fat Boy Happy Water plan remained unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen felt confident—indeed, money was a man’s courage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Allen was marveling at this, he suddenly heard someone tapping on the shop window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up and saw a fuzzy head—Hermione was smiling at him through the window, with Harry and Ron behind her; Harry, however, looked disheveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen joyfully opened the door and welcomed his friends inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you all in Diagon Alley?” Allen asked cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron waved the parchment envelope in his hand. “Today we received our supply list for the year, so we came out to shop.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Would you like to come with us?” Hermione asked, picking up where Ron left off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen touched the thick wad of Jin Jialong in his pocket and suddenly thought Hermione’s suggestion was excellent. He told Mr. Ollivander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Ollivander listened happily and smiled warmly: “You’ve been spending all your days with this old man. It’s wonderful to see your friends come to visit you. Go and enjoy your time with them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Allen set out with Harry, Ron, and Hermione to shop— their first destination: Flourish and Blotts.\u003C\u002Fp>",1129,"2026-06-20T16:09:23.977Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","86389157d0ac812551087cf7546e0a5d5dda990289b1709ce70768ae4843d419","the-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-chapter-101","the-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-chapter-99",284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-cover.jpg"]
