The Little Superman of Hogwarts

Hogwarts Superman - Chapter 002 [Diagon Alley Encounters]

What if I can't go to Diagon Alley? Should I go straight to the platform?

However, Klee's worries did not come true. The day after he received the letter, a large tabby cat stood in front of the manor.

"I hate these Muggle buildings. They all look the same, and they don't even have house numbers!" the cat lady said in an elegant complaining voice, a very small mutter, with an air of irritability.

In the living room, Klee heard the voice very clearly - there was no way around it, who told him to have Superman blood? Even a light whisper twenty or thirty meters away was like a shout in Klee's ear.

"Ding-dong!" It was the doorbell.

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

"What a lovely little fellow!" Klee's parents surrounded it, wanting to stroke the uninvited cat.

"Sir, please do not touch a lady without permission!" the cat said.

Klee's parents were confused...

Am I dreaming? There is a talking cat here!

"Let me explain to my parents! Professor Minerva!" Klee approached the group, first said to Professor McGonagall, and then faced his parents: "Actually, this is also the reason why I asked you to come home. I know you are very busy, but as you can see, I think it is necessary to ask you to come home! Isn't it?"

Klee's parents were so surprised that Klee's father had to pick his chin up from the ground, otherwise his chin would shatter.

"This world has magic! Simply put, I received a letter yesterday..." Klee spoke eloquently, spending ten minutes explaining some magical things.

In the end, Klee finished with these words: "I know you definitely won't believe me with empty words, even if you do, you might not be so firm, so next is Professor McGonagall's time!"

Klee turned to face the tabby cat.

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

Professor McGonagall waved her wand, and the furniture in the room floated up like balloons. They lined up and danced on the ceiling.

Klee's parents and the housekeeper, who might be his "stepmother," dropped their jaws once again.

The half-hour meeting was very successful. As Professor McGonagall was about to leave, she gave Klee a meaningful look: "See you at Hogwarts!"

With a bang, the tabby cat disappeared.

Klee, his parents, and the housekeeper, who might be his "stepmother," barely slept that day, chatting and fantasizing excitedly until late into the night.

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

"Is this Diagon Alley?" Klee looked at the Leaky Cauldron, just as he had guessed, his parents and the housekeeper could not see the Leaky Cauldron at all. They were very strange, why Klee stood here motionless, didn't they agree to go find Diagon Alley?

"Now, let's hold hands!" Klee grabbed the hand of the housekeeper closest to him, and the four of them instantly stepped into a broken and small bar...

The Leaky Cauldron, true to its name, was really broken and small, and hadn't been cleaned for hundreds of years.

Because they came too early, there wasn't a single customer inside, only the bald-headed boss was tidying things up behind the bar.

"Good morning, Mr. Tom!" Klee greeted the first extra to appear in the Harry Potter original book, recalling it.

"Hello! It is an honor to serve you! But I don't think I have ever seen you before. Are you a Hogwarts freshman?" the boss said with a smile.

Klee's three relatives were still looking dazed. This was the first time they had personally felt the power of magic, although there was only a small Confundus Charm at the entrance of the bar.

"It is an honor to meet you! Professor McGonagall asked me to go to Diagon Alley from here. Would you please take me there? I can pay for it!" Klee said.

"Of course, no payment is needed. It is an honor to show you the way!" Tom took out his small wand and led the four of them to a wall, gently tapping the wall a few times.

The brick he tapped on trembled and began to move, and a small hole appeared in the middle. The hole grew larger and larger, and soon a wide archway large enough for Hagrid to pass through appeared in front of them, leading to a winding, cobbled street that disappeared into the distance.

Diagon Alley is a wizard shopping city, but it is very small, really just an alley, the kind you can see to the end at a glance. However, each shop is frighteningly small, with dozens of shops densely packed here. Even Gringotts, the largest and most obvious one, is only the size of an ordinary storefront, which is really disappointing.

"Amazing!" Klee's father exclaimed, Klee's mother and the housekeeper also looked shocked.

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

Although the outside is very small, it is very amazing. The internal space of Gringotts is so large that it is almost absurd. A domed hall has rows of counters, each with a goblin behind it.

This is very different from the scene in the movie... It hit Klee's brain like an electric current in an instant!

From the moment he received the envelope, Klee subconsciously put himself into the Harry Potter movie series. Outside Gringotts, there is a huge dragon overlooking the entire street.

This is almost exactly the same as the scene in the movie. However, judging from the scene inside Gringotts, this is not the movie world at all, it is likely the original novel world, or other fan fiction world! Oh my god! In that case, the uncertainty is too high! Klee instantly thought of countless possibilities.

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

"Of course!" Klee took out the envelope and showed the Hogwarts crest pattern.

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

"I would like to ask, how much is about one hundred Galleons?" Klee's father asked.

"About this much!" The goblin used both hands to make a shape the size of two apples... This... The goblin brain circuit in the magic world is really different from Muggles...

"I'm asking, how much purchasing power does one hundred Galleons have!" Klee's father explained. He was afraid that the goblin would misunderstand again, so he explained: "For example, how many cauldrons at the entrance of Diagon Alley can you buy?"

The goblin thought carefully for a few seconds, lowered his head and searched for a long, long time in the ledger, took out a small booklet, and then buried himself in calculations for a long time.

"If it is a brass cauldron, you can buy five and three-quarters of one. If it is a bronze cauldron, you can buy exactly five!"

"Only that little?" Klee's father frowned. Not to mention Klee's father, even Klee's mother and the housekeeper frowned. 5 cauldrons are just 5 ordinary pots. These money can only buy five broken pots. Even if they are five brand-name pots, they are only a few hundred pounds. If you calculate it that way, one hundred Galleons has a purchasing power of less than one thousand pounds, although this is enough expense for an eleven-year-old child, but it is obviously not a very large amount.

"Can I exchange more?" Klee's father asked.

"If you want to exchange more Galleons, you can only exchange it with gold, and we need to charge a 20% minting fee!" As soon as the goblin saw a big business, his expression immediately became enthusiastic and he took out something similar to a brochure and handed it to Klee's father.

Klee's father took out five hundred pounds and said: "Exchange that one hundred first, we don't have gold with us now, I'll study it!"

"You are welcome, of course!" The goblin was very respectful.

Gringotts comes from two roots: goblin and ingot. If translated directly, the root of the word is "goblin's ingot," which means goblin mint. Obviously, Gringotts can provide the service of casting gold into Galleons.

The Galleons are engraved with magic纹 (magic patterns), and they have a unique magical aura of goblins. Therefore, each Galleon, even Sickles and Knuts, is actually a magical item or an alchemy item.

The four of them walked through the entire Diagon Alley together. Kerry looked at the list: "

Wizard robes, pointed hats, protective gloves, wizard cloaks... bought them all.

Cauldrons, a complete set of glassware, telescopes, scales... bought them too.

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

Now all that's left are pets and wands."

It has to be said that Gringotts' share for each little wizard is just right. Now there are still more than twenty Galleons left. After buying a wand and a pet, there will be basically none left. Maybe you can still buy some snacks.

"Ollivander's Wand Shop!" Kerry stood in front of this famous wand shop. This is the road that every wizard must take.

This is really a dilapidated and small shop. The shop's gold-lettered signboard has basically lost its luster. It says: Ollivander's: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C.

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

"Good day, sir, I'm glad to serve you!" Ollivander stood at the door: "You are the first guest today!"

"I am really happy to come to the famous store!" Kerry nodded. Kerry's parents and butler also showed their friendliness behind Kerry.

"You are a Hogwarts freshman, right?" Ollivander asked: "Which arm are you used to using?"

"Both!" Kerry explained: "I am different from ordinary people. Both of my hands are dominant hands!"

Thanks to the Superman bloodline, Kerry's hands are very flexible. He can use either hand to write at will.

"Okay!" Ollivander took out a roll of tape measure and measured every inch of Kerry's. First from shoulder to fingertip, 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 magical substance, which is its essence. Every Ollivander wand is unique. Of course, if you use a wand that should belong to another wizard, it will never have such a good effect."

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

"Do you know Hagrid?" Kerry asked.

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

Kerry held one end of the wand, but before he could lift it, Ollivander snatched it back.

"No! Try this one!"

Kerry showed a helpless smile. Although he had seen this wand shop owner countless times in movies and novels, seeing is believing, he really is a bit neurotic.

Ollivander tried one wand after another for Kerry, but each time he just took it in his hand and immediately put it back.

"Damn it! I have never seen such a picky customer!" Ollivander was a little frustrated, but also a little excited.

By the time the sun rose to midday, there were already two more little wizards waiting in the wand shop, but Ollivander had not yet selected a suitable wand for Kerry.

"Oh! I remembered! I have another wand!" Ollivander trotted to the basement and rushed back ten minutes later.

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

Kerry was a little dazed the moment he saw the wand. It turned out to be a metal wand! Metal wands have never appeared in the original Harry Potter!

"In the nineteenth century, handmade by my grandfather's grandfather! It uses phoenix feather as its core! Its material uses magical alloy, phoenix blood, and its length reaches nineteen inches!" Ollivander explained excitedly.

The main body of this metal wand is silver-white. The top of the wand is completely smooth, and the semi-circular arc part of the top is plated with gold. The handle part at the tail uses a smooth angle of the letter "L". The magical thing is that the holding part of this thing uses the thread shape of a helical gear, which makes the entire wand look like a slender, oversized screw.

Kerry pondered in his heart: 【I think I know how your great-grandfather got his inspiration.】

Picking up the wand, an unspeakable feeling came from the palm of his hand. Kerry felt something go out of his body.

"Poof..." A slow, shimmering spot of light shot out from the top of the wand by itself.

"My God!" Kerry's parents exclaimed.

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

When everyone came back to their senses, Ollivander took a letter from the box.

"This is a letter left to you by my grandfather's grandfather. Of course, in fact, every member of our Ollivander family has read it, I'm sorry!"

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

"My most respected guest:

Its name is "Hercules". Although it is manic, I hope you can control it!

Crayster Ollivander

From Ollivander's Wand Shop in 1848"

Hercules — the Hercules! In ancient Greek mythology, it represents infinite power, a wand with a name! Kerry likes her very much!

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

"Free!" Ollivander said lightly: "But you need to give me feedback in a few years. I want to know what it feels like!"

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

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

"Of course it's not worth a million Galleons!" Ollivander explained: "It's just to prevent others from buying her. In fact, she has been stored in the basement for more than fifty years. The first time I saw her, no one cared about her."

"Hello! Mr. Ollivander, I am Kerry's father, my name is Henry!" Kerry's father came up and said: "I can't take such a fine wand for free. I have a small suggestion, why don't you sell us two more wands, and I will pay the corresponding fees for those two, do you think that's okay?"

What Kerry's father meant was that I would buy two more wands, so you would make more money, and that could be regarded as compensation for this "Hercules".

"A terrible idea!" Ollivander said, frowning.

"Dad!" Kerry stopped his father and whispered in his parents' ears: "In the eyes of wizards, every wand has its own life. It is not the wizard who chooses the wand, but the wand that chooses the user! What you just said was a huge rudeness!"
