Professor Snape, are you taking a child out shopping?

"Ha, cleansing spell."

Fred looked at his newly renovated robe and sighed softly, "Mother uses this spell almost three times a day, why can't Ron remember it?"

"Who knows?" Kyle shrugged.

His previous plan was a last-minute idea and was riddled with flaws.

The biggest problem is the Cleansing Charm, which is also the main reason why Fred and George initially thought Ron wouldn't fall for it.

In wizarding families, this spell is one of the most commonly used household spells, and they felt that Ron couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

Kyle thought the same thing.

In fact, when he saw Ron's cautious look at the Leaky Cauldron, he had already begun to wonder whether or not to let Ron go.

But since we're already here... it wouldn't be good to do nothing.

So he came up with this idea to minimize the difficulty for Ron.

Otherwise, he could have simply told Ron to ask directly; given Ron's desire for the new wand, he surely wouldn't refuse.

Kyle's idea was simple: if Ron said, "Why don't you use a cleansing charm?", he would abandon all his plans and immediately buy a wand.

But... Ron didn't.

Not only did he not believe it, he actually believed it!

That's outrageous.

"Ollivander seems to have come out..."

Fred raised an eyebrow and said, "Let's go in quickly, I can't wait to see the show."

"Hey, is it okay to say this?" Kyle teased, "Ron is your own brother."

"Thanks for reminding me, otherwise I almost forgot."

Fred smiled slyly, then opened the shop door and went inside.

Just as Kyle was about to follow, he suddenly noticed a familiar face around the corner not far away.

A black cloak billowed without wind, greasy hair gleamed slightly, and a sinister gaze darted left and right, making him look like a large bat walking in the night, completely out of place in the lively atmosphere around him.

Moreover, it seemed that there was someone following behind him, but they were hidden by his robe, and only a pair of short legs could be seen.

"It's been a long time, Professor Snape."

When the other person approached, Kyle greeted them first, "What a coincidence, Professor, are you out shopping with your daughter... Oh, it's Kanna."

When they got closer, Kyle realized that the person following Snape was actually Kanna.

Snape's eye twitched, as if he had been force-fed a Dungbomb, and his face instantly darkened.

"Don't talk nonsense, Kyle." Kanna poked her head out and said, "Uncle Snape hasn't..."

"Shut up, Kanna!"

The little girl hadn't finished speaking when Snape abruptly interrupted her.

A strange look flashed in Kyle's eyes; he noticed that Kanna had changed how she addressed Snape.

Before he could think any further, he heard Snape's slightly mocking voice.

"Why are you here, Ollivander... Is your wand broken?"

"No, Professor, I cherish my wand very much."

Kyle, his expression unchanged, said, "I came with Fred and George to buy a new wand for their little brother."

Ron Weasley, also a freshman this year.

Snape looked somewhat disappointed.

"Also, I'd like to buy some Potions ingredients," Kyle continued. "I can't wait to take your Potions Class."

"Heh~~"

Snape let out a short, incomprehensible sound, his face turning even uglier, as if he had been fed a second Dungbomb.

But for some reason, he held back, only glancing at Kyle thoughtfully without saying anything.

"Let's go, Kanna."

Snape didn't look at Kyle again, turned around and continued walking forward.

Kanna clearly wanted to stay a little longer. So many bizarre things had happened around her this summer; her experiences in just two months were more exciting than her previous two years.

She really wanted to share it with Kyle.

But Snape didn't see it that way. He glanced at Kyle with some disgust, grabbed Kanna by the collar without a word, and dragged her away.

Kanna kept gesturing, but he remained unmoved, even stating bluntly, "Don't associate with Kyle anymore; he's not a good person."

Kyle watched them turn into the cauldron shop next door before turning and walking into Ollivanders.

Kyle had thought he'd miss the most exciting part because of Snape's delay, but as soon as he entered the room, he heard Ollivander's somewhat hurried voice.

"The store never includes a wand care kit; you have to buy it separately."

"I remember you're from the Weasley family, so why don't you even know about the Cleansing Charm?"

By now, the dust that Ron had deliberately rubbed on his arm was gone, and he stood there, his face flushed, looking down at the ground as if searching for something.

Kyle thought he must be looking for a crack in the ground.

"As for why I didn't clean..."

Ollivander paused for a moment, then said without changing his expression, "This is for the balance of gray magic. The dust can isolate magic and protect the wands in the shop from the influence of external magic."

This involves very complex things, and only us idiots understand them. You wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you!

"So... which hand do you use the wand with?!"

Ron shakily extended his right hand.

Then a measuring tape flew over from the counter and began to roughly measure against him.

Beside them, Fred and George both had their heads down, clutching their stomachs, and trembling uncontrollably.

If Ollivander hadn't been there, they probably would have been laughing their heads off.

After taking his body measurements, it was time to test the wand, a process that wasn't exactly smooth for Ron.

When he tried the seventh... or maybe the eighth wand, the wand was very hostile to Ron. As soon as he held it in his hand, a rapid stream of water spurted from the tip of the wand, drenching him completely.

This has resulted in him being completely soaked, and he's shivering whenever the wind blows.

An hour later... the boxes on the counter were almost piled up like a mountain.

George and Kyle sat cross-legged on the side, playing Wizard's Chess out of boredom, while Fred watched from the sidelines, occasionally offering his own opinions.

However, neither of them listened to him.

"Great combination."

Just then, Ollivander's voice suddenly rang out.

"Fourteen inches, willow wood, with a Unicorn Hair core, it's perfect for you, Mr. Weasley."

So... seven Galleon."

Is this... all the selections done?

Kyle immediately stood up, which immediately drew George's displeasure.

"Hey, I'm about to win!"

However, Kyle ignored him and instead took out his wallet, grabbing a handful of Galleon from it.

But just as he was about to give Galleon to Ollivander, Fred suddenly put his arm around Kyle's shoulder and said with a grin, "Kyle, what else do you want to buy?"

Taking advantage of the moment, George quickly stepped forward and handed the seven Galleon to Ollivander.

"Next year Ginny will also receive a new wand or a new robe from her brother," Fred said, winking.

Kyle laughed and said, "Don't you feel sorry for Galleon now?"

"I still feel bad," Fred sighed. "Ron is too stupid; it feels like a waste to give him a new wand."

After leaving Ollivander, the group of people spontaneously stretched their bodies.

"Kyle, we need to hurry," Fred said. "Mom's probably getting impatient; if we're any later, she might come looking for us."

"What else do you need to buy?" George asked.

"Some parchment," Kyle said. "And a bottle of Potter's Sleekeazy Hair Shampoo."
