So We Meet

Greet the warm sunshine, Li Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief, forcibly suppressing the nauseating feeling spreading to his chest. Damn it, a mine cart is already like this, if I use 'Floo Powder' in the future... Just thinking about it makes me nauseous and gives me a headache.

It took a good while for Li Mu to finally recover completely.

"So, I should buy some necessary things for new students next. Are you going too?" he asked Hagrid and Harry.

Harry nodded, "You know, I'm a new student too. Let's go together."

For some inexplicable reason, Harry Potter felt a great liking for Li Mu, this future classmate who also had black hair and came from the Celestial Dynasty. That was his first friend of the same age in his life... or rather, his first friend ever. Before that, his dark life only allowed him to play with his cousin Dudley Dursley, but Dudley, who always bullied him, couldn't be considered a friend!

"Alright, you'd better make clothes for yourselves first. It will take some time," Hagrid muttered, twisting his neck and leading them around Diagon Alley, bringing them to a clothing store.

"This is it, the most famous clothing store in Diagon Alley. Hogwarts students almost all customize their school uniforms here."

Li Mu and Harry looked up at the store's sign together, with gilded characters engraved on a black solid wood base: "Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions".

As expected, it's still this one. Li Mu murmured inwardly, he was indeed participating in the "Harry Potter" plot. When he was still in Shushan of the Celestial Dynasty, he thought he had transmigrated to a Xianxia world hidden in the city, but he didn't expect this world to have Hogwarts, Harry Potter...

He had never dared to be sure, but now, everything described in the book was really happening before his eyes.

Even including Hagrid's words and actions.

At this moment, Hagrid was not in a hurry to enter the door. He scratched his furry head and then said, "So, you wouldn't mind if I left for a while to have a drink at the Leaky Cauldron, would you?"

Li Mu looked at him. This poor man really needed a large glass of spirits to calm his nerves. The crazy cart in Gringotts had tormented him to the point where he still looked pale, weak, and his burly figure looked like a fatuous person. But he knew that, according to the description in the book, Hagrid was probably going to buy a birthday cake for Harry.

After Hagrid strode away, they slowly walked into the robe shop.

Both of them were visiting a shop in the magical world for the first time, and they were still a little apprehensive. Fortunately, Madam Malkin was actually a short, fat, and kind person.

"Dear, are you from Hogwarts?" Madam Malkin asked with a smile when she saw the two entering the door. Seeing Li Mu and Harry both nodding, she said again, "You will buy a lot of things here."

She led the two to the back of the store, and the sharp-eyed Li Mu immediately saw a pale-faced, pointy-faced little boy standing on a stool, with another witch sewing a black robe for him.

It seems that adding me to this world hasn't changed anything. Madam Malkin's shop was still spacious, Harry would still meet a certain nemesis here, what was supposed to come would always come... Li Mu inconspicuously glanced at the strange little boy a few more times, especially lingering for a moment on his platinum blonde short hair and gray eyes.

Absolutely right, this pale-faced little boy was the villain in the book, Draco Malfoy.

Madam Malkin asked Harry and Li Mu to stand on the stools next to each other, put the black robes over their heads, and then she tailored for Harry, instructing another witch who appeared from nowhere to tailor for Li Mu.

It had to be said that as one of the leading clothing stores in Diagon Alley, even in the entire Britain, there were really many employees here.

"Are you both Hogwarts freshmen?" Draco Malfoy had also been observing them, and suddenly asked.

"Yes," Harry replied simply.

Li Mu curled his lips. This little savior was too eager for friends, but unfortunately, he didn't understand how to read people's expressions. He didn't see that Malfoy was not so much making conversation at this time as looking for an opportunity to show off his strength to others.

"My dad is buying me books next door, and my mom is buying me a magic wand," Sure enough, the little boy immediately put on a listless look, talking to himself, regardless of whether Li Mu and the two were listening, "Later I must drag them to buy me the latest high-speed broom, I really don't understand why Hogwarts doesn't allow first-year students to have their own private brooms..."

Malfoy sounded a bit complaining. However, Li Mu, after all, had lived two lives, and immediately heard the meaning behind it. The previous complaints were not important, the key was to introduce the topic of "flying broom". When Li Mu understood the value of Galleon, he also knew how luxurious a high-speed broom was.

1 Galleon is equal to 17 Sickle, enough to buy 28 grams of dragon liver - that's dragon liver. A good wand only costs about 7 Galleon. If he remembered correctly, the Weasley family's deposit in Gringotts was only 1 Galleon, and some scattered Sickle and Knut, which was enough for their family to live on.

And how much does a high-speed broom cost? The latest high-speed broom now is naturally the newly launched Nimbus 2000, which would cost at least 600 Galleon, right? And Malfoy emphasized such information between the lines - as long as he wanted, he could easily buy a Nimbus 2000.

If it were a child born in an ordinary wizarding family, he might immediately be in awe of Malfoy, and even beg to be his follower. Most people love to be friends with the rich, which is the same in any world.

Unfortunately, Harry Potter was in his first contact with the magical world, how could he react? Li Mu knew it clearly, but he didn't say anything, just "um"ed.

Then there was silence. The two quietly waited for the witch to measure them.

This made Draco Malfoy's face darken considerably. The low-key showing-off techniques he had used earlier were all learned from his father, Lucius Malfoy. They had always been successful in the past, but now it was like punching cotton, light and without a point of impact. This feeling was not pleasant, and he even subconsciously wanted to get angry, but there was no reason to.

After a moment of silence, Malfoy did not give up and asked, "Do you play Quidditch?"

"Quidditch?" Harry asked softly, clearly not understanding. He wanted to make more friends, but Malfoy's arrogant attitude always reminded him of his detestable cousin, Dudley.

Li Mu shook his head gently, deliberately adopting a calm posture: "I haven't played it. I prefer standing straight on a sword to flying on a broom. It's faster and smoother."

"On a sword?" Malfoy was taken aback. Li Mu's indifferent tone made him think that this was a knowledgeable person. But he had never heard of anyone flying on a sword.
