Chapter 4： Diagon Alley

In the early morning, two people, one big and one small, were walking on the road in Beiyangkerton.

Among them, the tall middle-aged man must be at least two meters tall, while the other is a child, thin, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses that cannot be repaired by tape, and his hair should have been undressed for a long time, like a A pile of weeds piled on his head, covering his forehead.

This strange combination of walking on the road aroused the attention of the surrounding pedestrians. Some people even suspected that the child was abducted. After all, the "giant" did not look like a good person.

But no one is nosy, even no one to call the police. After all, gang activities are not uncommon for the residents of Beiyangkerton, but unscrupulous people like them are rare.

These two people are Hogwarts hunting ground guard-Hagrid and Hogwarts freshman-Harry Potter.

After a while, the two came to the door of a shack in the woods west of Beiyang Kerton. Hagrid cleared his throat and was about to knock on the door, but the door suddenly opened.

Mike looked at the giant outside and recognized Hagrid in Harry Potter at first sight.

Without waiting for Mike to speak, Hagrid put down his hand that was about to knock on the door and coughed to ease his embarrassment.

"You are Mike Towny, right? Hmm... let me see." Hagrid seemed to have forgotten the words, and read a note from his thick coat pocket.

"Abandoned by my parents at the age of 2... escaped from the orphanage at the age of 5... wandering in London until now. Hmm, sorry!"

realized that he had actually read the contents of the note, Hagrid became even more embarrassed, and hurriedly crumpled the note and stuffed it back into his pocket.

"Uh, in short, I am the hunting ground guard at Hogwarts. This time I am here to take you Harry to Diagon Alley."

Mike didn't care about Hagrid's rudeness, and showed a sunny smile.

"It's okay, Mr. Hagrid, thank you for coming specially."

Hagrid didn't talk nonsense. Seeing that Mike knew what he was coming from, he took Mike and Harry to London.

Harry was very nervous along the way and never took the initiative to speak.

He originally thought Hagrid would use some magical method to take him to the wizarding world. He didn't expect Hagrid to take him to pick up a new student named Mike at Hogwarts, and then took them both by subway to London. Urban area.

Harry is very fond of Mike. After all, Harry had always felt that he couldn't find anyone more miserable than himself in this world until he met Mike.

Compared with the other party's experience, the sufferings that I have experienced seem to be nothing.

Of course, it does not deny that Harry still had a little gloating thought in his heart, but this thought was quickly suppressed by Harry, and there was a strong sense of guilt that followed. I have to say that Harry is still very simple.

And Mike is very talkative along the way, always talking to Hagrid with nothing to do.

After the conversation along the way, Hagrid's embarrassment quickly disappeared, and Harry responded without a word to the topic of Hagrid and Mike. He was still very nervous.

Not long after, Hagrid led them into the Broken Cauldron Bar.

Broke Cauldron Bar, as a public entrance connecting the magical world of England and the world of Muggles, is obviously very famous.

But as a famous place, it is too dark and dirty. Several old women were sitting in the corner of the room drinking sherry with small glasses, one of them was smoking a long pipe. A little man in a top hat was chatting with a barkeeper whose hair was almost stripped.

The three of them attracted everyone's attention as soon as they entered the door.

Bar owner Tom noticed the two people behind Hagrid just as he wanted to greet Hagrid, and after looking closely for a while, he excitedly stepped forward and took Harry's hand.

"Gosh! You are Harry Potter, right? I'm so honored!"

As Tom's words fell, the whole bar boiled, and everyone scrambled to squeeze around Harry, hoping that the famous Harry Potter could shake hands with him.

Mike noticed one of them dressed up like Indian Asan. He was stammering. Obviously, he was Quirrell, Hogwarts's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year.

Haige was very proud, as if he was being forced to shake hands with everyone. However, he played his accusation, drove away the crowd and took them to a brick wall behind the Broken Cauldron Bar.

"Count up three pieces...and then count two pieces across the line..." he whispered. "Okay, stand back, little ones."

He tapped his umbrella head on the wall three times.

The brick he knocked on shook and began to move. A small hole appeared in the middle. The opening of the hole became bigger and bigger. Soon there was an archway wide enough for Hagrid to pass, leading to a winding path. The winding cobblestone streets with invisible ends.

Mike looked at everything in Diagon Alley excitedly, this is the magical world!

Mike and Harry couldn't wait for them to have eight eyes, and they kept looking around, trying to see everything around them transparently.

Hagrid smiled heartily when he saw the two of them look like a hillbilly entering the city.

"Don't worry, let's go to Gringotts to get the money first, and we'll take you around later, Harry." Hagrid noticed the Mike next to Harry. "And you, Mike, don't worry. Your school supplies are ready for you at Hogwarts and we can pick them up at Gringotts.

Mike smiled and nodded. He could clearly feel that Hagrid treated him differently from Harry.

While talking and laughing, they came to a snow-white building towering high above the surrounding shops. The fairies in scarlet and gold uniforms bowed to them by the shiny bronze gate.

Harry was obviously curious and kept staring at the goblin.

Hagrid saw what he said to Harry, fearing that the goblin would hear it, so his voice was so low that he couldn't even hear the Mike standing beside them.

Not long after 　　 left, a silver door appeared in front of the three of them, and the words were still written on the door:

Please come in, stranger, but you have to be careful about what it will end up with insatiable greed. If you ask for it for nothing, you will be punished the most severely. So if you want to take away a piece of wealth that never belongs to you from our underground vault, thief Ah, you have been warned, beware that it is not treasure, but evil.

Mike dismissed this. He was a bank robber in his previous life. Such bank warning slogans can only scare simple-minded people like Hagrid and Harry.

A few people walked through this gate and came into the hall. About a hundred or so fairies were sitting on high stools behind a row of long counters. Some used copper balances to weigh coins, and some used eyepieces to check gems while going to the large book. Register hastily. There are countless doors in the hall, leading to different places, and many fairy bows draw people in and out of these doors. Hagrid and Harry walked towards the counter.

Hagrid said a few words to the goblin at one of the counters and said to Mike: "Mike, just give him the admission notice for Hogwarts. He will give it to you. Harry and I will return it. Go to the vault to get something."

Mike nodded in greeting, watching them walk away under the leadership of a fairy.

"Hello, sir." Mike turned around and handed the notice to the fairy. UU reading www.uukanshu.cóm

The goblin did not speak to Mike. After receiving the notice and looking at it with a magnifying glass for a while, he took out a large box from behind.

Mike opened the box, and saw that there were many learning materials written in the notice.

But there are traces of used, especially the crucible, the inner wall of the pot is uneven, the bottom is obviously much thinner than other parts, and there are large black stains on it.

Mike even suspected that its previous user had cooked shi with it, so much so that it still emits a stench even today.

Mike closed the box and looked at the fairy who was looking down at the gemstone.

"You can exchange British pounds for gold gallons, right?"

"Of course, 5 pounds is exchanged for 1 gold gallon, and the limit is 100 gold gallons."

The fairy raised his head, a little surprised that Mike, the poor ghost, would ask this.

"Keep it secret to me." Mike threw out a small pocket, which contained sterling in various currencies.

The little fairy opened his pocket and counted the coins in it. The speed was so fast that Mike was startled.

After a while, the goblin put a pack of Jin Jialong into Mike's hands.

"We have a rule that every transaction that Hogwarts students exchange for Muggle coins must be reported to Hogwarts."

The little fairy spread his hands on the counter, doing helplessness, but the smile on his face betrayed him.

"What a greedy guy." Mike took out 5 gold coins from his pocket and put them concealed in the hands of the goblin on the counter. "In addition, tell the big guy who just went in, I will go around and gather at the Broken Cauldron Bar."

The little fairy got a bribe, and he nodded as if he was pounding garlic.

"Don't worry, sir, you have never exchanged Jin Jialong."
