Taking into account the need to take photos while traveling, after dinner, Sirius found a nearby department store and bought an instant camera as well.
Led by Fleur Delacour, Wizet and the others arrived at a narrow alley.
Fleur Delacour raised her wand. A few seconds later, with a loud crack, a wizard appeared before them.
He was an elderly wizard, his face full of wrinkles, carrying an old suitcase in one hand.
He wore a dark blue cotton robe, similar in style to the standard robes of the French Ministry of Magic. On the left side of his chest was an abbreviated string of letters: R.A.P.I.N.
After landing, his eyes swept across the group. A smile immediately spread across his face, and he began speaking French enthusiastically as he conversed with Fleur Delacour.
"R.A.P.I.N." stood for "Le Réseau Alchimique de Portage Instantané National," or the National Alchemical Instant Transport Network.
It served a purpose similar to the Knight Bus: an emergency means of transportation meant to assist wizards in trouble.
The conversation did not last long. Fleur Delacour looked at Wizet and the others. "It costs ten Silver Sickles to get to Pierre Bonaccord Village."
"Would you like souvenirs? If you pay four more Silver Sickles, you can get a souvenir. The souvenir looks like this..."
As she spoke, the R.A.P.I.N. employee pulled an exquisite pocket watch from his suitcase and displayed it to everyone.
"Souvenirs? They look pretty nice..." Sirius stroked his chin. "Can we only get one each, or can we get more?"
"As... as many as you want!" At Sirius's words, the employee's eyes lit up.
He immediately switched languages and asked in somewhat clumsy English, "Honored sir, one... one for each person?"
"That's right!" Sirius tossed a money pouch from his pocket. "Count it yourself!"
