Hogwarts Superman

Hogwarts' Superman - Chapter 002 [What I learned from Diagon Alley]

What if I can't go to Diagon Alley, what should I do, go directly to the platform?

However, Kerry's worries were not realized. On the second day after he received the email, a tabby cat stood in front of the manor.

"I hate these Muggle buildings, they all look exactly the same, and they don't even have house numbers!" The cat lady complained gracefully, talking to herself in a small way, with an irritated breath.

In the living room, Kerry heard the voice very clearly - there is no way, who made him have the blood of Superman?Even a soft whisper at a distance of 30 meters is like shouting in Kerry's ear.

"Ding dong!" was the doorbell.

The housekeeper opened the door, and a big, elegant cat walked in by itself.

"Cute little guy!" Kerry's parents came up to pet the uninvited cat.

"Sir, please don't touch a lady!" said the cat.

Kerry's parents can't fix it...

Am I dreaming?Here's a talking cat!

"Let me explain to my parents! Professor Minerva!" Kerry approached several people, first said to Professor McGonagall, and then turned to the parents: "Actually, this is why I asked you to go home I know you're busy, but as you can see, I think it's imperative to call you home! Don't you?"

Kerry's parents were so taken aback that Dad Kerry had to pick his jaw off the ground with his hands or it would shatter.

"There is magic in this world! To put it simply, I received a letter yesterday..." Kerry talked eloquently, and spent 10 minutes explaining some magic things.

In the end, Kerry ended with these words: "I know that with empty words, you definitely don't believe it. Even if you believe it, you may not be so firm. Then it's Professor McGonagall's time!"

Kerry turned to face the tabby.

"I think he's right!" The tabby leaped forward and transformed into a steady and elegant lady in the blink of an eye.

Professor Mike waved his magic wand, and the furniture in the room floated up like balloons. They formed a long line and danced on the ceiling.

Kerry's parents, as well as the housekeeper, had their jaws dropped again.

The half-hour meeting was very successful, until Professor McGonagall glanced at Kerry meaningfully before leaving: "See you at Hogwarts!"

With a bang, the flower cat disappeared.

Kerry, his parents, and the housekeeper who may be his "little mother" hardly slept that day, chatting excitedly and thinking about the rest of the night.

The next morning, the Kerry family of four set off for London.

"Is this Diagon Alley?" Kerry looked at the Leaky Cauldron, just as he guessed, his parents and the butler couldn't see the Leaky Cauldron at all, they wondered why Kerry stood here without moving Oh, didn't you agree to go to Diagon Alley?

"Now let's hold hands!" Kerry held the hand of the housekeeper closest to him, and the four of them stepped into a dilapidated and small bar in an instant...

The Leaky Cauldron, as its name suggests, is really broken and small, and it looks like it hasn't been cleaned for hundreds of years.

Because it was too early, there was not even a single customer inside, only the bald boss tidying things up at the bar.

"Mr. Tom, good morning!" Kerry greeted, recalling the first character who appeared in the original Harry Potter book.

"Hi! It's an honor to serve you! But I don't think I've seen you before. Are you a freshman at Hogwarts?" The boss smiled at several people.

The three relatives of Kerry are still confused. This is the first time they have personally experienced the power of magic, although there is only a small confusion spell at the door of the bar.

"It's an honor to meet you! It was Professor McGonagall who asked me to go to Diagon Alley from here. Could you please take me there? I can pay for it!" Kerry said.

"Of course you don't have to pay. It's an honor to lead you the way!" Tom pulled out his small wand, led the four of them to a wall, and tapped the wall a few times.

The brick he had knocked shuddered and began to move, and a small hole appeared in the middle. The hole became bigger and bigger. Before long, there was an archway wide enough for Hagrid to pass, leading to a winding The winding, unending cobblestone streets.

Diagonal Alley (Dlagonalley) is a shopping mall for wizards. In fact, it is very small. It is really a small alley, which can be seen at a glance.However, every shop is so small that it is scary. There are dozens of shops densely scattered here. Even the largest and most obvious Gringotts is only the size of an ordinary facade, which is really disappointing.

"Amazing!" Kerry's father exclaimed, and Kerry's mother and housekeeper were also shocked.

"We need to go to Gringotts Bank first!" Kerry said, and the four people, including Kerry, were extremely curious about everything in Diagon Alley along the way.

Although the outside is small, it is surprising that the interior space of Gringotts is ridiculously large. There are rows of counters in a domed hall, and behind each counter is a goblin.

This is far from the scene in the movie... In an instant, it hit Kerry's brain like an electric current!

From the moment he received the envelope, Kerry subconsciously brought himself into the Harry Potter film series. There was a huge dragon outside Gringotts, overlooking the entire street.

This is almost exactly the same as the scene in the movie.But judging from the scenes inside Gringotts, this is not the world of movies at all, it is probably the world of original novels, or the world of other fan fictions!OMG!In that case, the uncertainty factor is too high!Kerry thought about countless possibilities in an instant.

"Dear sir, are you a freshman at Hogwarts?" the goblin on the counter said politely.

"Of course!" Kerry took out the envelope and showed the Hogwarts coat of arms pattern.

"Okay! According to our Gringotts practice, we will give you an exchange quota of 100 Gold Galleons. Do you want to use it now?"

"I want to ask, how much is a hundred gold Galleons?" Kerry's father asked.

"Probably so many!" The little goblin compared a shape the size of two apples with two hands... This... The brain circuits of goblins in the magical world are really different from Muggles...

"I'm asking, how much purchasing power does a hundred gold Galleons have!" Kerry's father explained, fearing that the little elf would misunderstand again, he explained, "For example, how many can you buy for the cauldron at the entrance of Diagon Alley?"

The little goblin thought carefully for a few seconds, then lowered her head and rummaged through the ledger for a long time, took out a booklet, and then buried herself in the calculations for a long time.

"If it's a brass pot, you can buy five and three quarters, and if it's a bronze pot, you can buy exactly five!"

"Is there only so little?" Kerry's father frowned, not to mention Kerry's father, even Kerry's mother and housekeeper frowned. 5 crucibles are just 5 ordinary pots. With this money, you can only buy five broken pots, which are five famous brand pots, which is a few hundred pounds. Pounds, although that's enough for an 11-year-old, it's obviously not a huge amount.

"Can I exchange for more?" Papa Kerry asked.

"If you want to exchange more Galleons, you can only exchange them with gold, and we need to charge 20% of the casting fee!" The elf immediately became enthusiastic when he saw that there was a big business, and took out something similar to a brochure and handed it to him. To Kerry's father.

Kerry's father took out [-] pounds and said, "Exchange the [-] pounds first, we don't bring gold now, wait for me to study it!"

"Of course you are welcome!" The elf was very respectful.

Gringotts "gringotts" comes from two roots, goblin (goblin, goblin) and ingot (gold ingot, silver ingot). What that means, it is obvious that Gringotts can of course provide the service of casting gold into Galleons.

There are magic lines engraved on the Gallon, which has a magical atmosphere unique to elves. Therefore, in fact, every Galleon, even Silver Sickle and Copper Knut is a magic item or an alchemy item.

The four walked the entire Diagon Alley together, and Kerry looked at the list: "

Wizard robes, pointed hat, protective gloves, wizard cloak...sold out

Crucible, set of glassware, telescope, scales... also bought

Books... this pile is full of books, enough already, I don't think there's anything left to buy.

Now only pets and wands are left. "

I have to say that Gringotts' share for each little wizard is just right, and now there are more than 20 Galleons left. After buying wands and pets, there are basically not a few left, and maybe you can buy some snacks .

"Ollivander's Wand Shop!" Kerry stood in front of this famous wand shop, which is a must for every wizard.

It's a really shabby little shop with a mostly tarnished gold sign that reads: Ollivander: Fine Wands Since 380 BC.

In the side window, a wand stood alone on a faded purple cushion.

"Dear sir, it is a pleasure to serve you!" Ollivander stood at the door: "You are the first guest today!"

"I'm really glad to come to the famous store!" Kerry nodded, and Kerry's parents and the housekeeper also expressed their friendship behind Kerry.

"Are you a freshman at Hogwarts?" Ollivander asked, "Which arm do you like to use?"

"Both of them!" Kerry explained, "I'm different from ordinary people. I have both hands!"

Thanks to his superhuman bloodline, Kerry's hands are very flexible, and he can use either hand to write at will.

"Okay!" Ollivander took out a tape measure and measured Kerry's every measurement, first from shoulder to fingertips, then from wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, knee to armpit, and finally head circumference. .While measuring, he said: "Every Ollivander wand has a super strong magical substance, which is its essence. Every Ollivander wand is unique. Of course, if you use It would never work so well if you took a wand that should have belonged to another wizard."

"Five feet five inches!" Ollivander looked at Kerry: "You should be a big man like Hagrid in the future!"

"You know Hagrid?" Kerry asked.

"Of course! Rubeus Hagrid, using a sixteen-inch wand, a bit bent!" Ollivander took a wand from the shelf: "Try it!"

Kerry grabbed one end of his wand, and Ollivander snatched it back before he even raised it.

"No! Come and try this one!"

Kerry showed a helpless smile. Although he has seen the owner of the wand shop countless times in movies and original books, he is really a little neurotic.

Ollivander tried one after another for Kerry, putting them back as soon as he got them.

"Damn! I've never seen such a picky guest!" Ollivander was a little frustrated, but also a little excited.

When the sun rose to noon, there were already two young wizards waiting in the wand shop, but Ollivander still hadn't picked out a suitable wand for Kerry.

"Oh! I remembered! I still have a wand!" Ollivander trotted to the basement, and came back 10 minutes later.

"It's her!" Ollivander took out a magic wand shining with silver luster from a silver metal box.

Kerry lost his mind the moment he saw the wand, it turned out to be a metal wand!Metal wands never appear in the original Harry Potter books!

"In the [-]th century, it was made by my grandfather's grandfather! Its interior uses phoenix blood as the core! Its material uses magic alloy, phoenix blood, and its length reaches nineteen inches!" Ollivander explained excitedly. road.

The main body of this metal wand is silver-white, the tip of the wand is completely smooth, and the semicircular part of the top is plated with gold.The handle part of the tail uses a smooth corner of the letter "l".The magic part is that the holding part of this thing uses the helical gear thread shape, which makes the whole wand look like a slender oversized screw.

Kerry thought to himself: [I think I know how your great-grandfather got the inspiration]

Picking up the wand, an indescribable feeling emerged from the palm of his hand, and Kerry felt something go out of his body.

"Pfft..." A slow but shining light spot rushed out from the top of the wand by itself.

"My God!" Kerry's parents exclaimed.

"More than 100 years! Someone can actually use it!" Ollivander himself was stunned.

After everyone recovered, Ollivander took out an envelope from the box.

"This is a letter from my grandfather's grandfather. Of course, virtually every member of our Ollivander family has read it. Sorry!"

Kerry came back to his senses and opened the envelope. Inside was a neat letter written on old parchment.

"My most respected guest:

Its name is "Heracles", although it is manic, but I hope you can control it!

Crest Ollivander

Ollivander's Wand Shop in 1848"

Hercules "hercules" - Hercules!In ancient Greek mythology, it represents infinite power, a magic wand with a name!Kerry loves her!

"That's it!" Kerry said. "How much should I pay you?"

"It's free!" Ollivander said lightly, "But you need to give me a feedback in a few years. I want to know what it feels like!"

Ollivander opened the box, and a line was written on the inside of the lid: "After my death, this wand will be given to anyone who can use it for free! If others want to buy it, it will be 100 million Galleons!"

"My God! It's worth 100 million Galleons!" A young wizard who was waiting to buy a wand also saw this scene.

"It's certainly not worth a million Galleons!" Ollivander explained. "Just to stop other people from buying her, she's been in the basement for over 100 years. The first time I saw her, she was Nobody cares anymore."

"Hello! Mr. Ollivander, I'm Kerry's father, and my name is Henry!" Kerry's father leaned forward and said, "I can't take away such a fine wand for free. I have a little suggestion. Why don't you sell us two more wands, and I'll pay for those two, don't you think?"

What Kerry's father said was that I bought two more wands, so that you can earn more money, which can be counted as compensation for this "Heracles".

"Bad idea!" Ollivander said, frowning.

"Dad!" Kerry stopped his father and whispered in his parents' ears: "From the perspective of wizards, every wand has its own life. It is not the wizard who chooses the wand, but the wand who chooses the user! You just said that It's a huge faux pas!"
