Hogwarts Crawler

"Don't worry, Xiaoke, it's just that the time is not ripe yet. Sooner or later, there will be a chance."

Adam accepted the missed opportunity to condense the love card well. He already knew what it felt like. Besides, he was still not qualified to use the cardless card even though he had condensed the love card.

"Then let's try..."

"Adam, are you still awake?"

Ms. Li's voice sounded outside the door.

Fortunately, Ms. Li always respected the privacy of her children and didn't push the door in directly...

Well, it seems that it's okay to come in? After all, Adam didn't plan to hide it from his family, but he hasn't figured out how to explain it yet.

"Oh, Mom, I'm going to sleep now."

Adam looked at the time and it was indeed time to sleep. It wouldn't be too late to try again after returning home from Diagon Alley to experience the Clow Cards.

Obviously, he was extremely curious about magic at the beginning, why is his heart calm now... Is it too surprising?

Lying in bed, Adam thought about what to buy in Diagon Alley tomorrow, how to use the Clow Cards he had just received, and Xiao Ke and Spi...

"Ha~"

"Ah~"

I don't know if it was an illusion, but before he fell into a deep sleep, Adam seemed to hear a slightly teasing female laugh and a helpless male sigh.

When Adam woke up the next day, he had completely forgotten the hallucinations before going to bed last night. He got up and went downstairs early in the morning according to his biological clock.

"Good morning, dear~"

"Good morning, grandpa~Good morning, grandma~"

Since he sat down at the dining table, Adam greeted other family members again.

"Eat something simple, there should be a lot of delicious food in Diagon Alley."

Old Reed said when Emma put the bacon, fried eggs and mashed potatoes in front of Adam.

"...Since Diagon Alley is a gathering place for British wizards, I don't have much hope for this."

Using chopsticks to pick up the runny fried eggs, Adam said faintly.

Adam's father is obviously also British, but he runs a French restaurant and his business is quite prosperous, which is very telling.

How to say it, to sum it up with Ms. Li's words: the food invented by these British people can really taste the resentment of the ingredients before they die.

"Wizards are different from Muggles. There are many delicious foods in Diagon Alley! For example... um... for example..."

Old Reed opened his mouth to refute, but all that came to his mind were snacks such as sizzling honey candy and licorice wands, and his memory of the main meal was blank.

Emma in the kitchen silently added a small piece of butter and a few slices of toast to the pot.

After eating and drinking, full of expectations, Adam followed Old Reed and Emma to Diagon Alley through the Leaky Cauldron.

Opening the way to Diagon Alley with the wand, Old Reed said with a smile:

"Welcome to the world of magic, child."

In fact, I have already experienced the world of magic last night... but this is not the point.

The point is that neither the novel nor the movie mentioned that this trash can was actually put into use!

Adam, who was a little bit of a clean freak, looked unhappy, but he still cooperated with a surprised smile.

After entering Diagon Alley, Adam's mood fluctuated.

At first, he was indeed surprised by the magical magic that appeared from time to time around him, but perhaps his expectations were too high. As he got used to it, he was disappointed with the shabby atmosphere.

The real Diagon Alley was not as glamorous as Universal Studios or in the movies. There were many wizards coming and going on the narrow streets, which seemed a bit cramped. Everywhere you looked, you could see stains and garbage in the corners that had not been cleaned for many years...

"Except for a few shops that can be seen to have special storefronts cleaned, and the luxurious Gringotts, most places seemed to have stayed in the last century. I was even worried that a bucket of feces would be poured down from above at some point."

After returning home, Adam complained to Mr. Reed and Ms. Li.

"...Do they take a shower?"

Ms. Li swallowed the prepared words and asked a subtle question instead.

Adam's expression made the question even more subtle.

"Doesn't that person take a shower?"

After another source of stench passed by, Adam pulled Old Reed's sleeve and whispered a similar rhetorical question.

"Well... you know, some older wizards are more traditional. They think that taking a shower will affect their magic... Of course, most people still like to be clean."

Old Reed, who was excited to introduce his grandson, also found that his grandson didn't seem as surprised as he imagined, so he walked forward quickly with Adam:

"We must buy a wand first. This is your first step into the magic world!"

ListenAt this point, Adam's heartbeat quickened a little - he already had the Dark Wand, I wonder if it would affect the choice of a wand?

"Oh, welcome -"

It seemed that it was still the beginning of the school year, Ollivander was waiting behind the counter diligently, and when he looked up, he saw Adam and Old Reed behind him - Emma went to the Tofan Clothing Store, Ollivander's Wand Shop was too small, thousands of wand boxes almost filled the small shop, and there was no way so many people could enter.

"Twelve inches, dogwood, unicorn tail hair."

Olivander seemed to have the superpower to remember every wand he made. He looked at Old Reed and sighed:

"Mr. Reed, how long have we not seen each other?"

"It's been almost fifty years since we last met, Mr. Ollivander."

Old Reed also had some emotion, and then patted Adam on the shoulder:

"Help my grandson pick a wand that suits him, the wands you make are always the best."

"I dare not say it's the best, but I promise it must be the best Suitable."

Olivander smiled confidently and looked at Adam:

"So, Mr. Reed, which hand is your dominant hand?"

"Right hand, sir."

Adam hesitated, because he was not sure which wand he would use when he was dominant, so he asked when Ollivander took out his ruler:

"Can I use the wand with my other hand?"

"Oh, are both your hands dominant? Okay."

Olivander nodded and continued to measure Adam's size with his ruler.

The length of the fingers, the width of the palm, the length of the arm...even the diameter of the nostrils and the circumference of the head, in short, after a meaningless operation, Ollivander took a wand for Adam to try.

Adam waved his hand casually, and the sudden gust of wind almost blew the roof off.

"No! Not this one!"

Olivander snatched the wand, took out his own wand and waved it to restore the things in the store, and then hurriedly took out another wand:

"Try this one!"

Adam waved the wand a little less this time, but the noise it caused was no less - the violent explosion made the wand boxes fly everywhere!

"Armor!"

The stacked wand boxes fell down and smashed towards them. Thanks to old Reed's armor charm, the three of them survived.

Adam took a look and fortunately the explosion seemed to be just a big noise. No wand was damaged, and even the box was not broken. Otherwise, he might have to pay for it.

"Ah, such a huge power is beyond my expectation. Let me think..."

Olivander took back the wand and started to search in the collapsed wand box-

"Try this!"

"Boom--"

"No! Try this!"

"Crack--"

"Still not right!"

Olivander grabbed the wand again, grabbed his not particularly thick hair, and dove into the pile of wand boxes.
