Obscure at Hogwarts

Chapter 4 Diagon Alley

Knowing that Louis' life safety might be threatened by Obscurus, Jason and Sophia were extremely concerned about his physical condition. Even if Louis just choked on the juice and coughed a few times, both of them would step forward to greet him for a while. Sen even wanted to drag him to the clinic for a comprehensive physical examination.

What could Louis say to that?

Ugh...

Have pity on the parents in the world!

Filial piety means filial piety. The word filial piety comes first, followed by the word shun.

Having been a parent before being reborn, Louis was very understanding of Jason and Sophia's anxiety at this time, so he had no choice but to follow Jason's wishes and go to his private clinic for a comprehensive physical examination.

After confirming that Louis was indeed in good health, she noticed Jason. The anxiety in Sophia's eyes gradually disappeared. Seeing that it was still early outside, Louis proposed to go to Diagon Alley to buy the necessities for learning magic. Jason naturally did not refuse and just drove there. Before heading to Diagon Alley, he ordered Sophia to go to the bank and withdraw a large amount of pounds.

The traffic in London is not congested compared with the city where Louis lived before his rebirth.

About an hour later.

City of London, Borough of Westminster.

Arriving at the location marked on the map, Jason, who was sitting in the driver's seat, looked out the window, frowned and searched for a moment before asking: "If the location marked on the map is correct, I think the Leaky Cauldron is nearby. You guys have a look. ."

"Are you sure it's here?" Sophia frowned and said, "Louis, can you see a bar anywhere?"

"Hmm..." Louis pointed to a dirty and dilapidated bar in front of him and said, "I think that's the Leaky Cauldron."

"Where? Where?" Looking in the direction of Louis' finger, Sophia took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Well, it is said that ordinary people... what wizards call Muggles cannot see From the Leaky Cauldron.”

"Louis, it's up to you."

"I guess it would be an honor, Mum."

Holding the hands of Jason and Sophia, Louis led the two of them into the legendary Leaky Cauldron bar.

The moment Jason and Sophia entered the Leaky Cauldron, their expressions were almost as Louis imagined...

There was a hint of disgust.

Because they have met Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, Jason and Sophia have a good overall impression of wizards. They preconceptionally believe that all wizards in the magical world should be as cultivated and knowledgeable as the two of them. of.

Look at those people in the Leaky Cauldron...

God!

Is it a slum in the magic world?

Fortunately, Jason and Sophia were highly educated people. Although they hated the environment like the Leaky Cauldron, they did not spit out the fragrance. Louis was taken directly to the bar counter by Jason. , looked at a bald old man and asked tentatively:

"Sorry to excuse you, is Mr. Tom here?"

"Hey! A little wizard from a Muggle family?" Tom at the counter looked at Louis and smiled, then looked at Jason. Sophia said: "Are you asking how to get to Diagon Alley?"

"Yes, Mr. Tom." Sophia said, "Can you take us there?"

"Of course, come with me!"

Following Tom's footsteps to the backyard of the bar, Sophia looked at the wall in front of her and her mouth twitched slightly, while Jason asked curiously: "Is this here?"

"You guessed it right." Tom grinned and said, "Did you see the trash can next to you? You need to count three bricks upward, then count two bricks sideways, and then click three times with your wand. Can see the way to Diagon Alley."

With that said, Tom pulled out the wand from nowhere, looked at Louis and raised his eyebrows and said, "Child, I think you don't have a wand yet. Do you need my help?"

Although he wanted to manipulate magic and try to see if he could open the door to Diagon Alley without a wand, Louis thought about it, then nodded to Tom and smiled: "Excuse me, Mr. Tom."

"No, it's actually an honor for me to be able to guide young wizards like you."

Tom tapped the wand three times, and immediately the entire brick wall began to tremble. First, a small hole appeared in the middle. As the hole gradually expanded, an arched passage appeared in front of Louis and others.

The cobblestone street stretched forward, with shops on both sides. The pedestrians walking by seemed to Jason and Sophia to be wearing strange clothes.

Louis' feelings were different from those of the two.

Looking at the magical creations around him and the passers-by, Louis, who quietly cast his magic, could keenly notice that there were more or less traces of magic use on them, which gave him a vague feeling of hunger in his belly.

This is Diagon Alley.

"Welcome to Diagon Alley!"

Tom made a gesture similar to throwing flowers towards Louis and others, and then patiently explained to Jason, Sophia, and the two guardians of Louis: "When you finish shopping, remember to follow what I just did. The door is open."

"Then I need to remind you that Muggle currency cannot be used in Diagon Alley, so your first stop is best to be Gringotts, exchange the galleons we use, and go forward to the white building It’s Gringotts.”

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Tom." Sophia held Louis' hand firmly, looked at Jason slightly nervously and said: "Jason, let's go and exchange it first, that...that galleung!"

"OK!"

Jason nodded. As the head of the family, he walked in front, as if he was exploring the way for Louis and Sophia behind.

Soon.

Louis and his party came to Gringotts and exchanged a thick wad of pounds for 5 galleons from the goblin at an exchange rate of about 1:100.

It could only be exchanged for 100 galleons at a time, which made Sophia a little dissatisfied.

Why?

In order to make my child's life at Hogwarts more comfortable, I worked hard to go to the bank and took out tens of thousands of pounds. In the end, you told me that I could only exchange it for 100 galleons?

However, as a wizard at the "golden elixir stage", Louis could understand the exchange restrictions between pounds and galleons.

It is not too easy for a wizard to get pounds from ordinary people. For example, Louis himself can use his own mental manipulation (the poor version of the Imperius Curse) to control a rich man at will and let him make a one-time contribution. Spend all your money.

of course.

The premise is that the rich man does not have a wizard bodyguard.

Since awakening his extraordinary ability, why has Louis always been very low-key about what he does, unless it is necessary for training, and he never uses his extraordinary ability to manipulate others, read other people's memories, etc.?

There are two reasons.

First, the reason why Louis personally thinks it is superior is that the more powerful a person is, the more they need to know what restraint is.

Strong power can make people sink. According to Louis' personal understanding, it is a powerful force that can easily make people become possessed by demons.

For example, in countless movies, the protagonists suddenly gain extraordinary abilities. They are very easy to become inflated. They often use their extraordinary abilities to satisfy their personal desires indiscriminately, often in violation of the law, and use various evil ways to make money, pick up girls, etc. of.

These people seemed pitiable to Louis.

After gaining extraordinary abilities, they were originally extremely powerful, but in the end they became slaves of desire.

When their desires can no longer be satisfied, their spiritual world will be extremely empty, as if they were in sage mode after convulsing for three seconds.

If things go on for a long time, they who cultivate their strength but not their mind and practice the Dharma but not the Tao will sooner or later embark on the road of self-destruction.

Just like all people who can live forever, they are looking forward to the day of death.

Second, the reason why Louis feels low is nothing more than fear of the unknown.

Although he had a chance to be reborn, he never thought that he was a favored person by God. His death from cancer before being reborn was enough to prove this.

Therefore, Louis does not think that he is the only person who can awaken extraordinary abilities.

And the current facts prove that he is right to be afraid.

If he had really used his extraordinary powers to manipulate others into doing anything before, then he would not be wandering in Diagon Alley at this time, but would be captured by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic and interacted with the Soul Captors of Azkaban. The blame fight with the landlord has gone.

This undoubtedly made Louis feel that his previous restraint and restraint was an extremely wise decision.

But it comes from the anger in a woman's chest...

It’s really hard to calm down!

Glancing at Jason, whom Sophia used to vent her anger, Louis expressed his desire to get a room in Diagon Alley. After all, there were no problems between men and women that could not be solved with one shot.

If it can't be solved with one shot, it can only mean...

She still wants it.

So, do you want to know more about Shenbao?

Neither she nor you can stand it except the bed.

(It actually rhymes a bit...)

Unfortunately, Louis didn't know if an ID card was needed to open Diagon Alley. Immediately when Jason was being questioned by Sophia about his life, Louis secretly glanced at Sophia who was still chattering there and asked in a low voice. road:

"Mum, can I try the wand first?"

Proficient in the face-changing skills of the Panda Province, Sophia faced Louis with a soft face, nodded and smiled: "Dear, come back and tell me which wand you like. It's best to pick a few wands that you usually use, and buy a few more to keep at home. Keep it for later use.”

Then, Sophia turned to face Jason again, and continued fiercely: "What was the name of that goblin just now? Oh... yes, I remember it was called Jesse, right? It's just like the Dursleys Their children are as rude and savage as wild boars without tusks!”

Ignoring Sophia, who stayed there to continue the fragrance, and Jason, whose eyes were extremely desperate, Louis walked to the small shop in front of him alone, and a jingling sound rang in his ears when he entered.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

"Good afternoon, sir!"

A soft voice sounded, and Ollivander walked out of the room, looked at Louis and said, "A new student at Hogwarts? Do you want to buy a wand?"

Louis nodded and replied: "That's right."

"Wizards who buy wands from me need to register with the Ministry of Magic. What is your name..."

"Louis Rogers."

"Okay, Mr. Rogers."

Ollivander smiled and nodded, and then he did not brag about how old his shop was, nor did he ask Louis's dominant hand. Instead, he suddenly asked another question:

"Mr. Rogers, before choosing a wand for you, I have a small question to ask you, please do you think ..."

"Is it you who chooses the wand? Or does the wand choose you?"
