The Cauldron was protected by the Muggle Expulsion Charm and the Loyalty Charm, so Muggles could not see it, and even if they approached it inadvertently, they would suddenly leave because they remembered something at home.But these were useless to Su Ming, just like when he first entered the Holy of Holies in New York in the 40k universe, he just pushed the Muggle couple a few steps forward, and then went straight into the dilapidated tavern.Small from the outside, at least, it sits on a quaint street, sandwiched between a record store and a large bookstore, and to the Grangers, it seems as if it suddenly grew out of between two buildings.I didn't see it just now, but when I got closer, it was there, like only half a door was crowded on some mottled red bricks, and its size was estimated to be difficult for a slightly fatter person to enter."
This is the Leaky Cauldron, and you wouldn't even be able to see it without a magician leading the way."
Su Ming pushed open the door of the store and let a few people behind him enter, and the inside and outside of the door seemed to be two worlds.A feeling of heat and warmth, accompanied by the hustle and bustle, spreads out.Witches and witches huddled around round tables and bars, drinking different drinks from wooden cups and making all sorts of strange noises, most of them red-faced, and even some of them had their hats eaten by their pet cats.Of course, there are also people who notice the new entrants, such as the owner of the bar, Tom Jr.He looked to be at least sixty years old, but everyone called him Little Tom, and the devil knows why.The Broken Cauldron Bar is the façade of Diagon Alley, and Su Ming is one of the owners of Diagon Alley, so naturally he has been dealing with this side for the past two months.Tom laughed and wrinkled his rosacea, as if he had accidentally soaked it in the tip of his nose while making wine, a large red lump that grew on a somewhat narrow and strange face."
Welcome, Mr.
Wilson, do you want a bottle of golden malt whisky today?""
No, little Tom, Hogwarts is about to start, I'm here with students and parents today, it's not a good time to drink."
Su Ming replied gently, as polite as a nobleman.The bar owner suddenly realized, and he raised his glass to Su Ming in the air: "I almost forgot, you are still a professor at Hogwarts, by the way, have you ever seen a boy who is immortal?"
”Hearing this name, many people in the bar pricked up their ears, and the noise suddenly went down a lot, and some people even continued to make noise, and the people around them picked up the wine bottle and put the drunk person down, just to listen to the news of Harry Potter.Bars are one of those places where news flows very quickly, and many people don't come for drinks, but just to find out something."
I said, why is your business so good today?"
Su Ming smiled and shook his head, and walked straight to the patio outside the back door of the tavern with the Granger family: "It's Hagrid's task to pick up Harry Potter to go to school, I'm sorry, I've never seen any boy who doesn't die." ”There was a faint sound of disappointment in the tavern, and it soon became noisy again, and some people didn't know who Hagrid was, and some told them that they were the janitors of Hogwarts, who had been expelled from the fourth year for allegedly murdering their classmates, and had been a bad seed since childhood.Some even began to whisper about how bad Hagrid really was, the news they had heard from their unknown relatives, and how the half-giants had deceived Dumbledore into staying at Hogwarts to continue their bad deeds.Just like Su Ming said, there is a lot of information in the bar, but how to determine the authenticity of the information is the time to test the basic skills of mercenaries.After meeting the 'real' wizards, the Granger couple's expressions were not surprised, these people were similar to the imaginary image, but both in terms of bearing and demeanor, they were far from Professor Wilson.It's hard to describe what it felt like, but they felt that maybe Professor Wilson was some great figure in the wizarding world, and that these people in the bar, like the drunks in a Muggle bar, couldn't get on the table.By the time the couple had come to their senses, the professor had pulled a glittering wand from his belt, counted three bricks up and two more horizontally on the bricks above the dustbin in the backyard, and tapped it three times against the wall.In fact, you don't need the wand of the Godkiller to transform, and it is not difficult to break through this wall directly with the Nightfall Greatsword, it is nothing more than a mechanism that needs to detect energy output.The god killer is also an artifact, not only charged but also light, and the energy is there.The bricks shook and gradually sunk into a small hole, and the brick wall around the small hole slowly rolled up like a blanket and turned into an archway, showing everyone the bustling scene of Diagon Alley.Countless wizards rubbed shoulders in the modest alleys, densely packed with spiked hats of all colors, like the pointed roofs on both sides of the road.The clamor and noise are comparable to those of a mortal vegetable market, and this is still the place where you have just entered Diagon Alley."
Diagon Alley is a long cobbled street with quirky and exciting shops and restaurants where young wizards usually come to buy school supplies before they go to Hogwarts.It is also the busiest commercial street in the British wizarding world, where land space is becoming increasingly scarce, land prices are increasing day by day, and there are many brand flagship stores here. ”Su Ming put away his weapon and introduced it to the three people behind him with a smile, but at this time, the whole family had long mouths, and I was afraid that they were so surprised that they couldn't hear anything."
Ahem."
He coughed politely and loudly, waking up the three who looked like they had walked into a dream world: "Now let's go to Gringotts to exchange pounds first." ”The list of Hogwarts freshmen to purchase was long, including robes, wands, crucibles and the like, but with Su Ming of the Land Serpent leading the way and even cutting in line, the things were quickly bought.During this time, the group also ran into Professor Snape, who was shopping with his godson, but the black bat just greeted him coldly, and then walked away with his chin up."
I feel like the professor doesn't like me."
Hermione said to Su Ming with some trepidation, she was still holding the crucible she had just bought, and there were several books in it.Su Ming smiled and shook his head, he took the family who were already very tired from shopping to the dining area outside the Florin ice cream parlor and sat down, and asked for four color-changing sundaes before answering the little girl's question: "Hermione, as your professor, the first lesson I want to teach you is not to judge people by their appearance."
Professor Snape is a very good man, and although he is a little stricter, there are serious teachers in any school, right?
”"Really?"
Hermione couldn't figure it out, if it wasn't for hating herself, why didn't he smile like Professor Wilson?
Mr.
Granger looked down at the menu, as if calculating how much sugar would be in ice cream, and he stroked his daughter's head: "Listen to your teacher, since he said that the professor is a good person, it is true, maybe they have some kind of facial disease that makes them unable to smile." ”As an adult, he knew that what the professor said in front of him was not wrong at all, teaching children not to judge people by their appearance, which is a truth that can be used everywhere."
I see, Professor, thank you."
Hermione was very obedient, and since both her teacher and father said so, it must be true.
