abnormal hogwarts

Albert stumbled out of the fireplace that was full of soot, and while swearing and slapping the soot off his clothes, he followed Brad towards the counter.

As the original novel says, the Leaky Cauldron is dark and dirty.

Under the dim light of the candle chandelier, Albert could clearly see the few customers in the bar.

There was a mixed crowd in the bar, including wizards of all kinds.

In the corner, three sneaky wizards, shrouded in black robes, gathered together, pointing around a piece of parchment on the table.When Albert passed by them, he heard that they seemed to be plotting something.

"Mike, after finishing this job, we will get enough gold galleons for us to spend the rest of our lives!"

"Trevor, listen to me..."

Albert didn't want to get into trouble, so he quickly walked around the three wizards who seemed to be preparing to rob Gringotts, and kept up with Brad.

"Hey, Brad, would you like a drink?" The person who asked this question was Old Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron.

The bar owner's face looked like a shriveled walnut, and his hair had almost fallen out.At this time, he was holding a dirty rag and wiping a beer glass.

"No, Tom. I took this kid here to buy school supplies." Brad patted Albert next to him on the shoulder and said.

Brad said it politely, but Albert could hear the disgust hidden in his words.

How could Uncle Brad, who usually pays great attention to cleanliness and hygiene, be interested in drinking in such a dirty bar.

"Hey, time flies so fast. Little Ivo has reached the age where he should go to school."

Albert tried his best to pretend to be a polite and good boy and said hello to the other party.

Brad exchanged some polite words with Old Tom and led Albert to the back door of the bar and to a small patio surrounded by walls.

Brad took out his wand, walked to the trash can in the corner, and tapped the wand on a certain brick on the wall.

The brick that Brad had knocked shook and began to move to both sides, and a small hole appeared in the middle of the wall.The opening of the cave grew larger and larger, and soon a broad archway appeared in front of them, wide enough for a hybrid giant like Hagrid to pass through.

Albert followed Brad through the archway and arrived at the bustling Diagon Alley.

Cobblestoned roads, noisy streets, and various quirky shops with completely different decoration styles than modern ones.Diagon Alley is indeed the busiest commercial street in the British wizarding world.

There are many wizards coming and going in Diagon Alley, and the sounds of various sales are coming and going.

In fact, this is not the first time Albert has come to Diagon Alley, but no matter how many times he comes, he will never get bored.He loved the magical world he was about to enter.

Albert quickly found Patchett's Crucible store, which sold crucibles. This was the store closest to the Leaky Cauldron.This store sells crucibles of various models and materials.

The golden sunlight shines on a sign hanging outside the store: Crucible - all sizes - pure copper, brass, tin, silver - automatic stirring - retractable.

"Evo, you need to buy one, but now we have to get the money first." Brad followed Albert's line of sight and looked towards the crucible shop.

Then they came to a white building that towered over the surrounding shops.The shiny bronze door, with goblin guards in scarlet and gold clothes standing at the door.

When Albert and the others arrived at the gate of Gringotts, the goblin guards bowed to them.

They followed the white stone steps to the second gate of Gringotts. The silver gate was engraved with the following words:

Come in, stranger, but take care,

What is the end of insatiable greed,

Blindly ask for, get for nothing,

will be severely punished,

So if you want to take it from our underground vault,

A treasure that was never yours,

Thief, you have been warned,

Be careful not to bring treasures, but evil rewards.

Looking at these lines of words, Albert suddenly had a bold idea.

The two goblins led Albert and the others through the second silver door.

Entering the spacious marble hall, Albert saw about a hundred goblins sitting behind the long counter making notes in the large ledger.

Some fairies are using scales to weigh coins, and some fairies are using eyepieces to detect gems.

There are many doors in the hall, leading to different places respectively. Many fairies guide the wizards to go in and out of these different doors. It seems that business is very busy.

Brad walked up to the counter and showed his wand, "I want two hundred galleons."

-

Next, Brad took Albert to Madam Malkin's robe store.

This is where most Hogwarts students buy their robes, and although there are only a few styles of clothing worn by young wizards at school, Madam Malkin's robes seem to be the best.

"Boy Aiwo, what's that look in your eyes? I don't have that much money to take you to Tuofan Clothing Store to buy clothes."

Albert smiled awkwardly at Brad, turned around and walked into the store.

Madam Malkin was a squat witch with a big smile and a purple dress.

The making of the robe was obviously a long process. After measuring Albert, Albert and Brad went to the Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore next door.

This is a large wizarding bookstore filled with bookcases that reach the ceiling.

Flourish and Blotts sells elementary wizarding books, but is probably the only bookstore that provides study textbooks to Hogwarts students, although Hogwarts courses require more books than they sell.

Albert, who quickly bought all the first-grade textbooks, stood in the bookstore and looked around. Doesn't it mean that every time traveler can meet important plot characters in the original book when purchasing items in Diagon Alley?

Why did he wander around Diagon Alley for so long without meeting any plot characters except for the owners of a few shops?

The main plot characters did not meet, but Albert did encounter the invisible transaction between Uncle Brad and the owner of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

Albert stared at the brown paper bag in Brad's hand. He had just seen Brad and the shop owner whispering in a dark corner.Brad paid a lot of gold galleons to get this small paper bag from the shop owner.

During the transaction, both of them had weird smiles on their faces.

The gold Galleons that Brad just paid was more than enough to buy the new textbooks that the two little wizards needed to go to school.Judging from the thickness of the paper bag, there were probably only one or two books inside.

Albert felt that the contents of the paper bag were either books teaching some kind of biological knowledge or black magic books, but considering that Brad graduated from Durmstrang, the contents of the paper bag could only be the former.

Brad, who met Albert's burning eyes, hid the paper bag in his robe with some embarrassment.

"Children can't watch this. By the way, have you bought the textbooks?" Brad's tone has never been so kind.

Albert looked away from where the paper bag was hidden under his robe.

Brad was visibly relieved.

-

Ten minutes later, Albert rushed out of Giggs Pharmacy with large and small bags of potion ingredients in his hands.

In the description of the original book, this potion ingredient pharmacy is a charming place filled with all kinds of interesting things:

There were rows of barrels of goo on the floor, jars of various powders and herbs against the walls, and bundles of feathers, fangs, and claws hanging from the ceiling.

Albert now has tangerine and wheat peel that he can't help but feel unhappy about. Where is the charming place he promised?The entire pharmacy smelled like a mix of rotten eggs and overcooked vegetables.

No wonder Brad asked him to go in and buy potion ingredients by himself.

Albert made a note for Brad in the little notebook in his mind.

-

Brad, who had cheated Albert, felt he was wrong, and he had just been caught accidentally at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, so he bought a beautiful round-faced chubby chicken as a school gift for Albert. Walter.

What a joke!Am I, Albert, someone who can be bribed with just an owl?

Besides, even if Brad didn't give the owl as a gift, considering the need to communicate with his family, he would still buy it in the end.

Albert was very angry. He looked excited and waved his arms, ready to criticize Brad.

"Plus a chest with a Traceless Stretch Charm on it."

"Deal." Albert took the owl from Brad, and he decided to name the owl Zea.

-

While passing by the Magic Zoo, Albert glanced at the situation inside the store and walked past the store entrance without looking back.

He does not intend to keep pets, or rather, pets such as toads, cats, and mice.

He just thinks that a real man should be like Uncle Newt in the movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and raise some tall and powerful magical animals like runes, thunderbirds, and Zoe.

-

After going round and round, Albert finally stood at the door of Ollivander's Wand Shop.

This is a crowded, narrow, shabby little shop. The gold sign on the door has peeled off and reads:

Ollivander: Made fine wands since 380 BC.

In the glass display case at the door, there is a wand placed on a faded purple cushion.

Having been professionally making canes for more than 2000 years, Albert silently complained in his heart and reached out to push open the wooden door that seemed to be about to fall down in the next second.

"Dingling bells..." The crisp sound of wind chimes rang in the store.

The store's ceiling-to-ceiling cabinets are crammed with thousands of wands in long, narrow boxes.

The sound of wheels rolling on the wooden floor was heard, and a gray-haired old man stood on a ladder and slid out from behind the pile of cartons.

The old man's silver-white eyes were like two bright moons in the dimly lit store. He smiled and greeted Albert, who was looking at the store with curious eyes.

"Ah, a new face. You are the new little wizard admitted to Hogwarts this year, right?"
