Chapter 3. Diagon Alley

July 31 1991

UK, London, Borough of Westminster, Charing Cross Road.

Early the next morning just as the sun rose, Elijah got up. Under the service of the Kiki, he began to wash and take a bath.

After putting on a new set of robes, he came to the dining. Kiki had already prepared breakfast.

"Kiki, are you ready, we are leaving." Said Elijah

"Yes, little master, we can start now, please hold Kiki's arm firmly, little master."

Kiki quickly came to Elijah from the kitchen and said.

Elijah grabbed kiki's skinny arm, who snapped her fingers, and the two disappeared into the house.

The magic power of house elves is not weak, and they can easily apparate with people, especially their magic system is different from that of wizards, and they will not be restricted by wizards. For example, in some places where apparation is impossible, such as Hogwarts Magic Castle, but house elves can come and go freely,

However, house-elves make much more noise than wizards when they apparate, and are easy to detect.

Although Elijah has leaned to apparate himself, he had already learned it, but since he had a house-elf with him, he didn't have to do it himself.

The entrance to Diagon Alley, where the Leaky Cauldron is located, is a small, run-down hotel and bar.

In the Leaky Cauldron, because it was still very early, there were not many customers in the store. There was only a bar owner who had almost stripped his hair and looked like a shriveled walnut, wiping wine glasses at the bar counter.

His name is Tom Abbott, and he is a member of the Abbott family. The Abbott family is a pure-blood family, one of the twenty-eight families, and the Leaky Cauldron is the property of the Aibo family.

*Crack!*

With a crackling sound in the bar, the figures of Elijah and Kiki appeared in the bar. A dull lighted bar with old and middle age people drinking, chatting and laughing loudly suddenly slowed down to look towards the knew visitor.

"Hey! Look who this is? Do you know that boy?"

"I dunno, but definitely from some pure blood family."

"Yeah!"

Not many have seen Elijah as he mostly stays at home learning magic, and not many know a person from pyrites family after Voldemort's death. Quickly people went back to doing whatever they were doing.

Elijah moved towards crackling old tom, the pub owner.

"Good morning, Mr. Tom."

Elijah replied that he had been to Diagon Alley more than once, and he knew Old Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron.

"Oh haha, Mr. Pyrites, it's been a while since you came, You already this old. How have you been?"

Old Tom replied with a smile and a surprise which gradually turned into a little pity flashing his eyes. Tom knew about this good looking boy's childhood.

Surrounding people who heard immediately turned his towards the black haired handsome young man.

"Hey! it's can't be from that Pyrites family right? I heard you-know-who attacked them for their wealth."

"Yeah, I am remember. Pyrites were very rich back then. And it's that Edgar's son. I also heard that 'madwomen' Bellatrix used Cruciatus Curse on him when he was a year old in front of his parent to torture them.."

"Oh…it's a miracle how he survived."

"Hmm, poor boy, survived through hell, only to lose his parent and suffer at such a age, where he might not even remember them…"

People started whispering and peaking at Elijah, who was well known among wizards for surviving after being tortured by Bellatrix Lestrange at the age of one, who also killed his parents. Elijah who however not paid any heed to these whispering. Things like these aren't even a atom of things he had experienced.

"I have been doing well, Mr. Tom. I have received the Hogwarts admission letter, and I came to Diagon Alley today to purchase admission supplies."

"O-oh yes, sorry about that. Your parents were both very good people, it's a shame god takes back good people to him quickly. I am sure you will make them proud." Old Tom said clearly apologetic about the his customer's rudeness.

"It's alright. I am already used to it."

"Well, The new Hogwarts school year is about to start again, and it seems that many new students will arrive in the past few days."

"Mr. Pyrites, have you had breakfast? If not, you can use some here. It's still early." said old Tom.

"No. Thank you, but I've already had breakfast. I want to go to Diagon Alley to shop as soon as possible, and I can go back early." Elijah replied.

"Okay then, I wish you a good time in Diagon Alley."

Old Tom shrugged slightly.

Elijah took Kiki to the backyard of the Leaky Cauldron, which was a courtyard surrounded by walls, with nothing but a trash can and some weeds.

Kiki stepped forward and tapped the wall above the trash can three times with his fingers, the wall shook instantly, and finally a passage was revealed.

"Diagon Alley."

Elijah looked at the street ahead and read softly.

Diagon Alley is the most prosperous place in the magic world of Britain. There are all kinds of shops here, and Gringotts, the wizard bank, is also located here.

"Kiki, let's go."

Elijah entered Diagon Alley, and Kiki followed him closely.

The archway behind them began to narrow and then reverted to a solid wall.

Since it is still early, there are not many wizards in Diagon Alley, but all the shops are already open.

"Let me see what I need to buy?"

Elijah took out the list that came with the Hogwarts admission letter, which listed the items that new students need to buy.

"Kiki, we can go to Madam Malkin's robe store first."

Elijah said.

"Yes, little master."

Elijah walked into Mrs. Malkin's robe shop. As soon as they entered the store, Mrs. Malkin greeted them. She was a short, fat witch with a big smile and a purple robe.

"Want to buy a Hogwarts school uniform, my dear? This is the best clothing store in Diagon Alley."

"Yes, ma'am." Elijah replied.

"Okay then, please stand up here."

Madam Malkin asked Elijah to stand on a footstool, and then an automatic measuring tape flew to Elijah and began to measure.

"Oh dear, don't worry, it will be fine soon."

Madam Malkin started to make a robe for Elijah. The style of the robe is very simple, so it doesn't take long.

"Ma'am, I hope you can make my robe a little bigger. I'm growing now, and maybe I won't be able to wear my robe in less than one school year."

Elijah said that at this age, it is the stage of rapid development, and the body grows very fast.

"Oh, of course you can." Mrs. Malkin immediately agreed.

"By the way, ma'am, I still need to buy an adult black robe as a gift."

Elijah said again.

"Of course! Of course! That's all right."
