Journey through the heavens from Hogwarts

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Professor McGonagall arrived at the door of the joint residence on time. Lin Xiao got up early and waited for Professor McGonagall's arrival.

After greeting each other, Professor McGonagall said to Lin Xiao: "Hold my hand, Mr. Xiao Lin. Remember! Never let go of my hand, or something terrible will happen."

Lin Xiao said: "Professor McGonagall, I will." Because he knew very well that Professor McGonagall would use Apparition to take him to Diagon Alley. The danger of Apparition was also very clear to him in the original work. In Apparition You will feel a strong squeeze during the process, but you will be fine once you get used to it.

However, Lin Xiao is not too worried. After all, Jie Zhu possesses the laws of space. As expected, his understanding and resistance to space are also quite high. Even if there is an accident, his safety will be guaranteed.

"Then, let's go." As soon as the words fell, a "pop" sound was heard, and the two of them disappeared. When they reappeared, they were in front of a shabby-looking and small bar.

Lin Xiao was dizzy for a while and recovered quickly.

"It seems that Mr. Xiao Lin has adapted quickly, so let's go." Professor McGonagall said with some surprise, and then led Lin Xiao to open the door of the bar.

As described in the original book, the environment inside the Leaky Cauldron is not very good, it is very bad, and the wizards inside are also a mixed bag.

Old Tom stood behind the bar and waved the magic wand in his hand. Some dirty-looking rags on the bar stopped one after another and all piled up in the corner of the bar.Seeing Professor McGonagall and Lin Xiao coming in, they greeted them warmly.After all, his son was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix, but he died in the war, and his family was also the head of the Abbot family, the 28th pure-blood family, and was very friendly to Muggle wizards.

"Professor McGonagall, here are the new students."

"Yes." Professor McGonagall nodded slightly. Old Tom also knew Professor McGonagall's character and immediately said, "Then I won't disturb you. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

After speaking, he led Lin Xiao around the bar and to a small patio surrounded by walls in the back alley.There's just some weeds and a trash can here.

Lin Xiao also knew that he had arrived at the door of Diagon Alley. He saw Professor McGonagall taking out her wand and tapping the third brick on the trash can, the second from the horizontal, three times.

The bricks began to shake and roll to both sides until an archway appeared.

"You have to keep this position in mind. You need to knock three times. You will have to do it yourself in the future. Of course, there will be naughty little wizards who will deliberately move the trash can, but it will return to the original position after a few minutes. The location, because it’s enchanted.”

"Welcome to Diagon Alley!"

"Now, let's go to Gringotts and collect your scholarship."

After speaking, Professor McGonagall also looked at Lin Xiao, who also pretended to be shocked. After all, he was already shocked when watching the movie.

However, there is still a difference between movies and reality. Of course, when I actually came here, I was still a little shocked.

Then he continued to lead Lin Xiao through the dense crowd in Diagon Alley to the intersection of Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley. A famous bank in the magical world appeared in front of him.

I saw a gleaming bronze door open, and at the door stood a goblin in a scarlet uniform with gold trim, bowing to every wizard who entered Gringotts.

Passing through the bronze gate and walking in, what comes into view is a silver gate with a warning to the greedy engraved on it.Walking into the spacious marble foyer, I saw a hundred goblins sitting on high stools behind a row of long cabinets. Some were weighing coins with scales, some were testing gems, and recording accounts while working.

Professor McGonagall walked straight to the counter and handed over Lin Xiao's admission notice.The goblin took the notice and checked it in the record book. Then he knocked on the table and handed back a money bag after confirming that it was correct.

"Twenty gold galleons, please keep it."

Professor McGonagall nodded slightly, handed the purse to Lin Xiao, and led Lin Xiao away.There is no rush to change the gold in the storage space. You can change it when you have time.

"Hogwarts will provide a bursary. It's not much, but it is enough for you to buy all the things you need to go to school. You can get this money at Gringotts before the start of each year. You need to come and get it next year. Yes, Mr. Xiao Lin."

"Of course, if you have Muggle currency, you can go to Gringotts to exchange for gold galleons. Now let's buy a wand."

We arrived at a small store that looked dilapidated. The gold-lettered sign on the door had peeled off, and it read: "Ollivanders: Making exquisite wands since 380 BC."

A wand stood alone on a faded purple upholstery in a dusty window.

When you push the door open, there is nothing but a bench. The room is filled with long boxes that reach to the ceiling.

"Welcome, Professor McGonagall, this year's new students are much earlier than in previous years. I still remember that in the records of my grandfather Gerbold Octavius ​​Ollivander, your wand was ten and Three-quarters of an inch, the body and core of the fir stick are the nerves of a dragon and are relatively soft. Wizards with extraordinary concentration and willpower are preferred." An old man with white hair appeared in front of Lin Xiao while rowing a ladder.

Hearing Ollivander's words, Professor McGonagall also smiled and said: "You are right. Now please choose a wand for Mr. Xiao Lin, Mr. Ollivander."

Ollivander nodded slightly, took out a long tape measure with silver scales from his pocket, and asked, "So, Mr. Xiao Lin, which hand is your dominant hand?"

"I'm right-handed." Lin Xiao obviously knew the process of selecting a wand. He was not panicked at all, he was just curious about what his wand looked like.

The tape measure also automatically pulled out, floated to Lin Xiao's body, and measured the circumference of his head from his shoulders to his fingertips, from his wrists to his elbows, from his shoulders to the floor, from his knees to his armpits.

While taking the measurements, Ollivander muttered: "I have worked here for so many years, and I rarely see Asian children."

"You have to remember that every wand here is unique. If you use a wand captured from another wizard, the magic power will be greatly reduced. Of course, there is an exception to the wand, unless... .Oh, and you must always remember - it is the wand that chooses the wizard."

"Okay." As soon as Ollivander finished speaking, the tape measure fell to the ground and rolled up into a ball, "Then, try this yew tree, the nerve of the dragon, ten and three-quarters of an inch long, the legend can give it Its possessor has the power of life and death, but it will not choose a mediocre or timid master."

Lin Xiao was speechless when he heard what he just said.He took the wand and waved it casually, and the wand emitted a soft light. "Oh, it fits, but when I tried this mahogany, unicorn hair, nine and three-quarter-inch long wand that brings good luck to its owner, and sent it out from my studio, I Usually expect to hear exciting stories.”

Lin Xiao put down the wand in his hand, took the other one he handed over, and waved it again. This time, a burst of silvery white light appeared on the head of the wand, revealing a hint of sacred aura. "

After trying a few more wands, it was interesting that almost all of them matched, Ollivander said.

"Let's try this wand of ebony wood, phoenix tail feathers, ten and three-quarter inches long, very suitable for all kinds of combat magic and transformation." Lin Xiao put down the mahogany wand in his hand and took it conveniently. Lin Xiao waved the wand in his hand, and then emitted a burst of golden-red light that was more dazzling than the wands just now.

"It seems that this is it. There is no wand more suitable for you than this one. You are a not picky little wizard. It can be seen that you are very talented." Ollivander also said in surprise.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Ollivander."

"Because you have the school's subsidy, you only need to pay seven galleons." Ollivander said.
