Harry Potter: I'm the Rolling King at Hogwarts

Chapter 3 Journey to Diagon Alley

Professor McGonagall grabbed Albert's shoulders, used phantom movement, and came to the door of the Leaky Cauldron.

Albert's head was dizzy, but he didn't feel the vomiting sensation mentioned in the fan books. This feeling was acceptable. After his brain became clearer, he turned his attention to the bar.

The bar is located between a bookstore and a record store. It looks small and dirty, and pedestrians seem to ignore this area.

"A Muggle expulsion spell has been cast here. Only wizards can see it. Muggles will subconsciously ignore everything here."

Professor Ge explained to Albert carefully and took him into the dirty tavern.

"Oh, isn't this Professor McGonagall? You are still as energetic as ever. Would you like a glass of sherry?"

The boss, Tom, hunched over his body, said hello to Professor McGonagall.

"No, I have to take the little wizard to Diagon Alley... Also, I hope you can clean up the tavern next time you come."

Professor McGonagall straightened the bun on her head and said seriously. After that, she picked up Albert and walked through the Leaky Cauldron.

Tom smacked his lips, "What a pity." He looked at Albert again, grinning, showing his gap teeth, "I wish you good luck, little wizard, and pick a good wand."

After walking past the bar, Professor McGonagall took Albert to a small patio surrounded by walls.

"Did you see that trash can? Count three bricks up and two bricks across. This is the brick."

Professor McGonagall gave thoughtful guidance, "Remember, you will be the one to do it from now on."

She tapped the brick three times with her wand, "Stand back, Albert, be careful."

The knocked brick shook, and a hole appeared in the entire wall. Finally, a wide archway appeared, leading to a winding and endless street.

"Welcome to Diagon Alley, Albert."

Albert looked at the shops lined up on both sides of the street, the unique architectural styles, the people coming and going, and the distinctive clothes.

For example, a suit on the upper body and a pleated skirt on the lower body...

"Is this the wizard's world?" he sighed.

Professor McGonagall interrupted Albert, "Did you bring your admission letter? The attachments inside record the things you need to buy."

"Oh, yes." He opened the envelope and took out the attachment, which said some utensils:

In addition to Hogwarts uniforms and textbooks, the school also thoughtfully gives instructions:

Students may bring an owl or a cat or a toad

Parents are especially reminded that first-year freshmen are not allowed to bring their own broomsticks

"Okay, to buy these things, we have to go to Gringotts to exchange some money first."

"The wizarding currency is different from the Muggle pound. We use gold Galleons, silver Sickles and copper Nuts.

1 gold galleung = 17 silver siks, 1 silver sik = 29 copper nats, very convenient, isn't it? "

McGonagall took Albert to Gringotts, a towering snow-white building. Standing beside the shiny bronze door were short figures wearing scarlet and gold uniforms.

"The clothes are all inlaid with gold, and the customers' money must have been swallowed up a lot..." Albert muttered.

Professor McGonagall covered Albert's mouth, "Those are goblins. Although I hate their greed, I have to say that they are still good at managing money. Apart from Hogwarts, Gringotts keeps secrets." The best location.”

The two walked towards the goblin along the white stone steps. When passing by, Albert glanced at the goblin specifically:

His dark face revealed cunning and cunning, his pointed beard, and his hands and feet were extremely long.

The goblin bowed to him as they all entered.

Two silver doors stood in front of Albert, with warning words engraved on them:

Come in, stranger, but be careful

What is the end of insatiable greed,

Blindly ask for, get for nothing,

will be severely punished...

What an arrogant and greedy race. Albert pouted and followed Professor McGonagall into Gringotts.

"Hello, I would like to exchange some gold galleons."

The goblin in front of him was obviously very short, but he was sitting on a high counter. Albert had to look up at him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Oh, little Muggle-born wizard...how much do you want to exchange? Each person is limited to 200 gold galleons per year." The goblin slowly sorted out the documents, took out an exchange rate table, and handed it to Albert.

1 galleons = 5 pounds.

Albert counted out a thousand pounds from his wallet and handed it to the goblin, "200 pounds, thank you."

He is not surprised that there are restrictions on exchange. After all, the British pound is useless to the wizarding world. If the restrictions are opened, the reserves of gold galleons in the wizarding world will decrease sharply. By then, inflation will make it difficult for Gringotts to survive.

The goblin took the 1000 pounds, counted it, and said, "Wait a moment."

He turned around and left the counter, and ran to another counter with his short legs. The running look was very funny, and Albert tried not to laugh.

After a while, the goblin came back with a small cloth bag, "200 gold galleons, you can count it in person to make sure it's correct."

Professor McGonagall tapped the bag, and the number "200" appeared from it. She nodded and said to Albert, "No problem, it's getting late, and we still have a lot to buy."

After leaving Gringotts, there is a "Mrs. Malkin's Robe Store" opposite.

Mrs. Malkin was an enthusiastic middle-aged woman, but the tape measure wrapped around Albert, suffocating him. "Madam, I think the clothes can be looser."

Customizing clothes is very troublesome, but with the blessing of magic, it is extremely easy. With the scissors flying, Albert's clothes are ready in less than half an hour.

After paying the money and thanking him, Albert left the robe shop as if he was running away. He never wanted to experience the feeling of being entangled with a tape measure again.

Professor McGonagall took him around and took a break first. At the Florin Ice Cream Shop, Professor McGonagall treated Albert to an ice cream, and then the two of them walked into Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

As soon as we entered, the scent of ink hit our nostrils, and the room was filled with books, piled up to the ceiling.

Professor McGonagall reminded Albert to find a book quickly, and he dove into the sea of ​​books as if he had received an amnesty.

“This is heaven!”

In this era, most of the entertainment activities he liked did not appear. His 11-year career as a scroll king also made him gradually fall in love with learning. The joy of reading can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

………………

Half an hour later, the bookstore owner opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "Little wizard, are you sure you want to buy so many books?"

There was a thick stack of books in front of him, piled as high as a hill. Albert stood on tiptoe behind the books, barely able to be seen by the boss.

"Boss, your eyes will never lie to you." Albert's voice was blocked by the book and sounded a little hazy.

Not only did he pick the books requested on the list, he also bought some others.

For example, I bought "Standard Spells, Level [-]", including Level [-] and [-], as well as "Intermediate Transfiguration", "Advanced Transfiguration", "The Rise and Fall of Dark Magic", "Curse and Counter-Curse - Trick You" friend".

The "Invisible Book of Invisibility" was not found, which he regretted.

"A total of 76 gold galleons, thank you for your patronage..." The owner of Flourish Blossom Bookstore's mouth twitched, and his heart ached.
