Chapter 4 The outside world is wonderful

Wednesday was sunny and Connor was in a good mood.Today, Professor McGonagall will take Connor to the Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley to see what the wizarding world is like.Connor put on the newly bought clothes early and washed his newly cut hair.The newly dressed Connor in the mirror is a handsome, handsome young man with a smile full of sunshine, light blue eyes, and short brown hair. He is simply a British aristocratic young master.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Professor McGonagall arrived at the orphanage on time. She took Connor into a small road in the town, then stretched out her left hand and said to Connor: "Grab my arm. If you feel uncomfortable, you can Close your eyes".

After a soft "pop" sound, Connor felt that the things around him were spinning. When the rotation stopped, they were already in a completely different alley.

"What an amazing experience" Connor thought to himself

Follow Professor McGonagall out of the alley, turn right and you will see a dirty and small bar squeezed in between a large bookstore and a record store. The surrounding buildings are not too tall. The sign on the corner It says Charing Cross Road.

After entering the bar, Professor McGonagall ignored anyone and walked straight to the back of the bar. During this period, the boss named Tom said hello to the professor and glanced at Connor.There is a small open space connected to the back of the bar, which is a small patio with walls on all sides.On the surface, there is nothing here but a trash can and some weeds. Behind the trash can is a brick wall.

Professor McGonagall came to the brick wall, holding the wand in his hand. While waving it, he told Connor, "Count three bricks up the wall, count two bricks across the wall, and tap the wall three times with the wand." ", as the voice fell, the brick touched by the wand shook and a small hole appeared in it. Finally, the hole turned into an archway leading to a lively street.

Connor followed Professor McGonagall silently as he walked in Diagon Alley, looking left and right as he walked.This is a long street paved with cobblestones, with various weird shops and restaurants on both sides. It is much larger than Connor imagined. It is definitely not the small shop with only a few magic shops in the movies he saw in his previous life. lane.Within 5 minutes of walking in, Connor saw two grocery stores, a restaurant, a tavern, a jewelry store, two tailor shops, a herbal shop with a cauldron hanging, and some shops whose purpose he couldn't recognize.The streets are spacious, but not open. They are filled with men and women wearing wizard robes and various costumes.Some of them stood on the street chatting, some went into the shop, and some walked out of the shop carrying bags or gentleman's canes and walked away.

"Professor McGonagall, can I ask you a question?" Connor asked softly.

"What's the question? Connor" Professor McGonagall turned her head and replied.

"Are there any vacant shops for sale on this street? How much can I pay for them?" Connor raised his head and asked.Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows in a rare move and said to Connor with a surprised look on her face.

"Oh, Mr. Johnson, you really surprise me! It's hard to imagine that a child of your age would care about this kind of problem. It seems that you are smarter than I thought. If you are serious about this question, you can go Ask Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, and you can say I asked you to ask."

"Thank you very much, Professor McGonagall" Connor replied gratefully.He thought to himself that it seemed that Professor McGonagall, in addition to being more traditional in teaching, still cared about the students. After all, if a strange student asked such a question, he would most likely be fooled by Tom's teasing. This was probably because he was cold-faced and warm-hearted.

At this time, Professor McGonagall took Connor to the famous Gringotts Wizarding Bank. Before entering, he felt the explosive atmosphere. It was as magnificent and magnificent as the legend.

"This is Gringotts Wizarding Bank. You will have a lot of dealings with it in the future. Here you can exchange pounds for gold galleons, or gold galleons for pounds. Lady Anna did not tell me your financial situation. If If you need it, Hogwarts can provide a guarantee and provide low-interest loans for your tuition and living expenses." Professor McGonagall introduced

It seems that Mrs. Anna has kept my financial situation very well. She is really a good dean.Connor replied:

"Thank you, Professor, but I earned a few pounds a while ago, and that's enough for now."

Accompanied by Professor McGonagall, Connor exchanged five hundred pounds for one hundred gold galleons from the goblins of Gringotts (JK Rowling stated in an interview that she estimated the value of one galleung to be "about five pounds"). "), and opened a wizard account and deposited 5 Galleons in it. The goblin also strongly recommended their vault business. I don't know if he saw that Connor was rich.Then Professor McGonagall introduced Connor to Madam Malkin's Robe Shop, Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore and other related stores that provide essential supplies for the start of school, and finally took Connor back to the orphanage.

Back in the dormitory, Connor found his new passport and bank card and put them in a small personal bag.The next day I took a long-distance bus to London.This time he wants to exchange most of his pounds into Galleons. After all, he will be in the wizarding world in the future. Investing in Microsoft or something like that. As an ordinary person, he can wait for more than ten years, but in the wizarding world it is different. Maybe ten years. After a few years, Microsoft can only keep your dividends in the account or donate them in accordance with the law.He also had to buy all the things he needed to start school, the most important thing being the magic book. Connor was looking forward to the moment when he could feel the magic for himself, it must feel good.

I came to Gringotts again, found an empty seat, took out my bank card and handed it to the goblin.Let him convert 13 pounds into 26000 galleons and deposit them in his account.I only kept 100 galleons in cash for buying things, and I also kept 900 galleons in my personal bag to take to school.

Next, Connor bought a complete set of first-grade textbooks at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, such as "Standard Spells: Elementary", "History of Magic", "Magic Theory", etc. Connor was also interested in other books, but after seeing so many The textbook basically covered the areas he wanted to know, so he didn't buy any more. There was no extra space in the dormitory to store so many books.After going to Madam Malkin to make a magic robe and an additional hooded cloak, and after buying all the other cauldrons and other items, Connor found that he had to buy another large suitcase to hold these things. .

What?Why didn't you buy an owl, you ask?Haha... If it weren't for the fact that the restaurants here don't process grilled owls, Connor would have bought one and tried it, hehe!Let’s use the school owl first when school starts.

Finally, Connor dragged his suitcase to the famous Ollivander's Wand Shop, which was founded in 382 BC.
