Chapter 6: First Arrival at Diagon Alley

Along the way, Severus' face was expressionless as usual, but when Wenxiu Lord held Severus' hand, he could still clearly feel a thin layer of sweat on his palm due to nervousness.

No one spoke in the car. The driver kept looking at the two teenagers in the back seat through the rearview mirror. He felt that the atmosphere in the car was subtly awkward for a moment.

Wenxiu Lord felt that the atmosphere in the car was a little strange. Severus, who was sitting next to him, was extremely tense. He rolled his eyes, moved closer to Severus, and rubbed his shoulder against Severus's.

"Oh, Severus, don't be so serious. Although this is my first time going there, I have a strong sense of direction and I definitely won't go wrong!" After saying this, he patted his chest confidently and raised his head proudly.

Severus snorted speechlessly without responding to him.

The driver saw in the rearview mirror that the black-haired boy's expression looked much better after the silver-haired boy finished speaking.

The atmosphere was somewhat relaxed, and the driver tried to find a topic to liven up the atmosphere, so he asked, "I saw you two just came out of the train station and were heading to Charing Cross Road. Are you going there to play?"

Upon hearing this, Wenxiu Lord's face quickly changed into a social smile and he looked at the driver in the rearview mirror.

"Yes, we went to find our friends and contacted our parents. Mr. looks very young. He must have been working in this industry for many years."

Severus, who had been looking outside the car, turned his head to glance at the driver in the rearview mirror, twitched his lips speechlessly, and added another ability to Vinciu Lord in his mind: not only was he knowledgeable about spells and potions, but he was also very good at lying with his eyes open.

The driver's face reflected in the rearview mirror was full of wrinkles and had some bald spots. When he smiled, his face was full of wrinkles, making him look more like an old chrysanthemum.

"I have been doing this for more than 30 years. I am 58 this year, but I don't look like it. My wife always says I don't look old."

Wenxiu Lord had not expected that the driver was so "self-aware". Noticing the slightly teasing gazes around him, Wenxiu Lord secretly curled his lips and scratched Severus' palms a few times in anger. He simply responded to the driver for a few words and changed the subject.

Along the way, Severus listened to Wenxiu Lord and the driver chatting casually. With Wenxiu Lord distracting Severus all the way, his nervousness was obviously relieved a lot, and the car arrived at the destination in a short while.

The two got off the car at the intersection, and when Severus was about to pay, the driver happily waived his tip.

After Severus paid the bill, Wenxiu Lord couldn't wait to pull him directly to the bar with extremely outstanding architectural style.

On the way, he didn't forget to give it to Severus Cope.

"See that tiny bar that doesn't fit in with the view? We can go to Diagon Alley from the alley behind this bar."

"Many buildings in the wizarding world are also built in the Muggle world, but they are all cast with spells such as Muggle Repelling Charms and Ignore Charms. Usually only wizards can see them, which can effectively prevent Muggles from accidentally entering."

Severus caught the point, "Usually?"

Wenxiu Lord nodded, "Yes, the magic world is not only about wizards, but also Squibs. They are unable to cast magic just like Muggles, but they have magic power in their bodies, so magic like the Muggle Repelling Charm is ineffective against them.

However, they usually live in the wizarding world since birth, and very few Squibs choose to come into contact with Muggle society."

Wenxiu Lord looked up at the sign on the bar, "The Leaky Cauldron," then lowered his head and pushed open the door. "Let's go, we're here."

When I pushed the door open and walked in, it was very noisy and chaotic inside. Many wizards were sitting together drinking and chatting. I didn't pay much attention to the sound of the door being pushed open. After all, this place was connected to Diagon Alley, and wizards who couldn't Apparate would often pass through here to go to Diagon Alley.

But no one expected that the people coming in were two little boys. Now was not the time for new students to purchase admission, and there were only two teenagers, not accompanied by adults, which made this group of people who didn't care at first couldn't help but look at them curiously.

There were also a few men who cast obscene glances at Wenxiu Lord, but did not come forward due to the rules here. However, they were also attracted by Wenxiu Lord's exquisite appearance.

The bar owner standing at the counter gave the wretched men a warning look. Although his bar has always been a mixed crowd, if something happens to these two little wizards in his Leaky Cauldron, no one will dare to come here when new students start school. How can he make money?

Severus noticed the gazes of those people and frowned, then stood a few steps closer to Wenxiu Lord, blocking part of his body to block out those unfriendly looks.

Wenxiu Lord also noticed those disgusting gazes. When he saw Severus' actions, he gave him a gentle smile, pulled out the wand from his sleeve and held it in his hand.

Ignore those disgusting looks. Those people wouldn't dare to do anything anyway. If there is someone who is really blind, don't blame him for being too ruthless. After all, the magic spell collection he masters includes the three unforgivable curses.

He didn't intend to stay here, but since it was his first time coming to this, the first stop for Harry Potter's enrollment, he definitely had to take a look.

Now that he had seen it, he took Severus directly through the crowd to the alley behind.

"By tapping the bricks in order, we can go to Diagon Alley from here." Vince Lord recalled Hagrid's actions in the movie, took out his wand, and tapped the bricks on the wall several times in order.

Severus noted down his movements one by one, and saw that the wall he had knocked on instantly broke into pieces of bricks and stones, which rose and fell and sank, and finally disappeared into the walls on both sides, revealing a path.

They walked down a winding cobblestone path, and the bustling Diagon Alley came into view.

It was also the first time for Vincent Lord to come here, and both of them were shocked. Diagon Alley as a whole looked larger and more prosperous than what was filmed in the movies.

Classical houses of different styles are closely located together, stretching as far as the eye can see. Although it is already afternoon, the shops and streets are still crowded with people.

This group of people were all wearing various wizard robes. Some of them were following or holding animals in their arms, some of which Severus couldn't even name.

Looking at so many people, Severus took the initiative to hold Wenxiu Lord's hand for the first time. He had no doubt that as long as he let go of his hand, the two would definitely get lost.

"Let's go to Gringotts first. I need to get some gold Galleons." Wenxiu Lord raised his hand and pointed to a conspicuous pure white building at the corner of the alley.

Severus nodded "yeah," and the two of them walked towards Gringotts.

Squeezing through the crowd and arriving at Gringotts, Severus noticed two creatures with shrewd and cunning eyes, long arms and legs, strange looks, and wearing scarlet and gold uniforms standing by the door.

Wenxiu Lord noticed that Severus's eyes were always on the two creatures, and recalled the plot in the original book where Harry and his companions were tricked by goblins.

He whispered in Severus' ear, "They are goblins who run Gringotts, but they are very greedy and cunning. It is best not to have any transactions with them other than depositing and withdrawing money."

Severus nodded, taking his words to heart, and stopped looking at the two goblins.

After passing through two doors, an elf came forward and bowed, leading them into a tall marble hall.

There were countless small compartments on three sides of the hall, and in each compartment sat a goblin. Some of them were weighing coins with a copper scale, some were examining gems with an eyepiece, and they were making hasty records in a large ledger.

There are countless doors in the hall, leading to different places, and many goblins are guiding people coming and going in and out of these doors.

The two walked up to one of the goblins who was weighing the gems.

Wenxiu Lord: "We are going to the Lord family's vault."

The goblin behind the compartment stopped what he was doing and looked at Wenxiu Lord through the lens, as if he was assessing his identity and value.

"I need your vault key, sir"

Wenxiu Lord reached into his pocket, took out the golden key of Gringotts from the system backpack and handed it to it.

The goblin took the key and checked it carefully, then returned it to Wenxiu Lord and nodded to the two men.

"No problem, come with me, I'll take you to the underground vault."

The two followed the goblin through a small door and came to a narrow and dark tunnel. Below was a track and a carriage like the one used to transport goods in a mine.

They climbed into the carriage, and Wenxiu Lord reminded Severus to hold on to the handrail beside him.

Although Severus was puzzled, he obediently held the armrest beside him.

The fairy blew a whistle, and the wheels rubbed against the tracks, slowly accelerating towards the depths of the underground.
