Chapter 3

"Oh, you really are born to be a wizard. There are always some geniuses in the Wu's Orphanage." Dumbledore sighed, and then he just said to himself, and did not let others hear.

The two walked forward in the alley, and finally stopped in front of an unremarkable small bar.

"The Leaky Cauldron," introduced Dumbledore. "It's a well-known place, and the Leaky Cauldron has been enchanted to ensure that ordinary Muggles won't find it out without a guide!"

It's a small, dirty bar, and people in a hurry don't even look at this little shop, and their eyes slide from the big bookstore on one side of the street to the record store on the other, as if they can't see it at all. .

While it's a well-known place in the wizarding world, it's really dark and shabby inside. Nine elderly women were sitting in the corner, drinking small glasses of sherry, and one of them was smoking a long pipe. A young man in a tall hat was chatting with the old bartender. The top of the old bartender's head was as bare as a swollen walnut. When the two of them walked in, the hum of chatting stopped immediately, and everyone nodded and smiled at Dumbledore, who responded politely.

The bar owner picked up a glass and said, "Professor Dumbledore, are you here to pick up the new students yourself?"

"Yes, a freshman from a Muggle orphanage," Dumbledore replied.

"Is little Harry all right? He's going to Hogwarts this year too!" Tom seemed to say something pleasant, and everyone else nearby listened.

"Harry will be picked up by Hagrid!" Dumbledore explained, and then took Ye Ting to the yard, where there was only a glimpse of the walls stacked with bricks.

"The entrance to Diagon Alley is here. You have to remember the way to enter Diagon Alley." Dumbledore tapped three times with his staff on the special spot on the stone brick wall, and reminded: "Okay, stand back, Mr. Ye."

The brick that had been tapped with the wand shook and began to move. A small hole appeared in the middle, and the hole became bigger and bigger. Before long, there was a wide archway enough for the two of them to pass in parallel. A winding cobblestone street with no end in sight.

Turning around, Dumbledore opened his arms and said to Ye Ting, "Welcome to Diagon Alley."

Following Dumbledore, Ye Ting stepped into the magical world for the first time.

He understands that from now on, his life will bid farewell to the ordinary, the fame and fortune of ordinary people will no longer be his pursuit, and his future will be accompanied by legends.

Everything will start in the small alley in front of you.

This small alley is full of all kinds of strange shops, as well as hawkers standing on the street, as well as people buying things, most of them know Dumbledore and nodded to him.

The old man walked through the alley with Ye Ting, and while nodding to others, he introduced to Ye Ting what each store would sell, and what Ye Ting needed to buy inside.

At last they came to a snow-white building, which was much higher than the surrounding shops.

"This is Gringotts." Dumbledore introduced: "Gringotts is the bank of the wizarding world. You need to exchange Muggle currency for wizards' Gold Galleons, Silver Sikes and Copper Nats here."

Next to Gringotts' shiny bronze gate stood a goblin in a crimson and gold uniform. They were about a head shorter than Ye Ting, with dark and smart faces, pointed beards, and very slender fingers and feet.

As they entered, the goblin bowed to them. Then a second door appeared in front of them, it was silver, and the two doors were engraved with the following words:

Come in, stranger, but beware of what happens to your insatiable greed, and you will be punished the most if you take it for nothing, so if you want to take from our underground vault a piece of wealth that was never yours, thief Ah, you have been warned, beware not treasure, but evil.

Chapter 0006 Magic Wand

Two goblins bowed to them and led them into a tall marble hall. About a hundred or so fairies sat on high stools behind a long line of counters, some weighing coins with copper scales, and some examining gems with eyepieces, while scribbling registrations on the large ledger.

Ye Ting walked to the counter, took out a stack of pounds from his pocket and said, "Hello, I need to exchange pounds for Galleons."

An old goblin stepped forward and took the pound: "The exchange rate of pounds to Galleons is five to one. Are you sure you want to exchange all the 200 pounds for Galleons?"

"Yes," Ye Ting nodded: "In addition, exchange all one Galleon for Sike."

"One Galleon is equal to 17 siko." The old goblin explained. After a while, a relatively young goblin handed Ye Ting a heavy bag.

Next, Dumbledore took Ye Ting to start shopping.

"First, you need a wand," he said. "And Ollivander's wand is the best."

The shop was small and dilapidated, and the gold lettering on the door had peeled off, and it read: Ollivander – well-made wand since 382 BC. In the dusty window, a wand stands alone on a faded purple cushion.

"How are you, Ollivander, my old friend." As soon as he entered the door, Dumbledore greeted him warmly. A shriveled old man appeared in the corner, and hugged Dumbledore warmly.

"Hello, old friend." He said retro English in a soft tone: "Why do you come to me when you have time?"

"Oh, pick up a student from the Muggles

, Wu's Orphanage, you know. Dumbledore blinked, and then introduced: "It's him, Mr. Ye, although he was born a Muggle, he has been able to master his magic. "

"Well… No wonder." Ollivander stepped forward, stared at Ye Ting with sharp eyes, and took out a long tape measure with silver scales from his pocket. "Okay, Mr. Ye, come on. Let me see."

"Which arm do you use for the wand?" he asked.

Ye Ting said, "I'm used to using my right hand."

"Raise your arms, okay!" To start measuring Ye Ting, he started from shoulders to fingertips. While measuring, Ollivander said: "Each Ollivander wand has super-strong magical substances, which is the essence of it, Mr. Ting Ye. We use unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers And the nerves of dragons. Every Ollivander wand is unique because no two unicorns, dragons or phoenixes are exactly the same. Of course, if you use a wand that should belong to another wizard, never It will have such a good effect."

Ollivander walked between the shelves while chattering, climbing up and down the ladder, keeping a tape measure and taking measurements for Ye Ting himself. Although his chattering made people drowsy, Ye Ting still listened carefully. Although he already knew something in the original book, he was still curious about everything in the magical world.

"Okay," Ollivander said, and the tape slid to the ground and curled up. "Then, Mr. Ye, try this one. It's made of sycamore wood and phoenix feather core. Twelve and one-half inch long, give it a try."

Ye Ting took the wand, and as soon as he waved it, he felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, the next moment, a golden-red flame erupted from the tip of the wand, which ignited the cabinet in front of him with a whimper. Ye Ting even felt that he was about to summon a living phoenix.

"Clear water is like a spring." I saw Dumbledore quickly waved his wand, and a gurgling spring emerged from the tip of the wand, which immediately extinguished the flames.

"Looks like this wand isn't for you." Ollivander shook his head. Pulled out another: "Nine inches of beech and snake nerves. Try it."

The accident this time was a cloud of black smoke. The cabinets and boxes that were shrouded were quickly corroded into ugly holes as if they had been splashed with acid, and it was difficult to restore them to their original state.

Next, Ollivander asked Ye Ting to experiment with wand after wand. It seemed that the more times he experimented, the happier he was, but accidents also occurred time and time again. Ollivander and Dumbledore learned to behave well. , with a wand at the ready to prevent any irreversible consequences from sudden fire, frost, or explosions.

Thanks to the dirty windows of Ollivander's little shop, passers-by outside didn't notice it all.

Finally, before the wand box drowned Ye Ting, Ollivander finally stopped the experiment that made no progress.

"Oh, what a picky customer." He sighed: "Is there a spell being cast on that place? This kid's magic is stronger than his."

"Mr. Ollivander, what are you talking about? I don't understand." Ye Ting knew that "he" was referring to Voldemort, but he still pretended to be ignorant at this time.

Only Ollivander dryly changed the subject, "No, nothing, you'll find out later, let's get back to wands."

"This is the most suitable wand I can think of for you." He stumblingly took out a delicate purple wand from a large box and handed it to Ye Ting.

Chapter 0007 Designing Uniforms

Ollivander introduced the wand.

"The material is the tail feathers of a particularly old phoenix, and the core of a hundred-year-old elder tree, twelve inches long, flexible and elastic, one of the proudest pieces of my life, and I've never been able to find it again With such a precious material, there is no way to make a wand more powerful than this."

"I just hope this wand doesn't have any other accidents." Ye Ting was exhausted by the frequent 'surprises'. He no longer had the energy to consider whether the wand was strong or not. He just wanted to end this experiment quickly, but he was still cautious. took the wand.

The moment he took the wand, the wands of the whole shop trembled, and a wonderful feeling passed from the wand to his hand – a sense of smoothness and tameness like an arm. , as if the magic could be easily cast without much effort.

Ye Ting waved his wand gently, this time there was no accident, the tip of the wand flashed a brilliant silver light, and then all the wand's trembling stopped.

"Awesome…awesome," Ollivander exclaimed. "It's an honor to see this wand find its owner in my lifetime."

Then, he turned his head to look at Ye Ting and reminded: "Wands with phoenix feathers as cores are powerful, and they are the most critical of their owners, especially Phoenix Birds; elder wands are more difficult to control than any other wands. , and the highest requirements for the user's talent, any wizard who can use an elder wand is destined to be extraordinary. You can become the owner of such a wand, and you are destined to have a legendary future."

When he said the last sentence, he looked at Dumbledore.
