Hogwarts in a parallel world

Chapter 2 Diagon Alley

Winters has never been to Diagon Alley.He had only seen it in history books.This is how history books introduce Diagon Alley: Diagon Alley can be traced back to 1000 years ago and is the oldest wizarding market.This wizard's market sells a variety of wizard supplies, including various magic books, a variety of herbs and potion ingredients, and the dragon skin gloves most commonly used by wizards.If you are a Quidditch lover, you can find your favorite flying broom here.Of course, there is also the most famous wand shop here: Ollivander's Wand Store.This store is the first store of the Olivan family and has a history of hundreds of years.

When Winters really came to Diagon Alley, he felt as if he had traveled through time and arrived hundreds of years ago. Looking at the crooked buildings, Winters could feel that these buildings were all exuding magic.These crooked buildings are the shops here, and they seem to tell everyone who comes to Diagon Alley: Welcome to the magical world.Winters was pretty sure he heard someone haggling over the price of dragon skin:

"2000 gold galleons to buy 50 grams? You are robbing money!"

"My quality is only 2000 gold galleons. Why don't you find another store..."

Winters found that the people who came here were all wearing pointy hats and wizard robes.He thought these people were wizards, until a short old man said:

"I might look more like a wizard if I had a stick."

After he heard this sentence, he realized that this place had become a scenic spot.He also heard a few words from the famous Boy-Who-Lived:

"Did you hear that Ollivander is coming?"

"Really? Hasn't he already given the store to his granddaughter?"

"That's true, but Harry Potter is going to Hogwarts."

"That's right, I understand, then you must use the best wand."

"I think that's what it means... After all, Mr. Ollivander probably doesn't want to make a fool of himself at this time."

Mr. Eisen opened the attachment to the Hogwarts letter and read it quietly:

""Dark Power - Self-Defense Guide (Level [-])", "Transfiguration Level [-]", "Elementary Potions Level [-]", "Elementary Herbal Medicine Level [-]", "Charms Level [-]"... A set of school uniforms for the beginning of school. , a standard crucible, and a pair of dragon leather gloves. Each first-year freshman can bring one medium-sized pet."

Winters immediately freaked out when he heard about the dragonhide gloves.

"2000 gold galleons is only 50 grams" he almost shouted.

"Dragon skin gloves contain dragon skin powder inside, not the whole glove is made of dragon skin - have you forgotten?" Aurora rolled her eyes.

"Wait... I remember..." Winters smiled awkwardly. He now remembered that their history teacher once said how to make dragon skin gloves.They found a potions equipment store diagonally opposite Flourish and Blotts Bookstore and sold two 2cm diameter cauldrons and two pairs of dragon skin gloves.

They bought all the books they needed at Flourish and Blotts, and Winters also bought "A Study of Charms", "Frontiers of Transfiguration", "Dark Powers Revealed", and "The Origin of Magic - A First Look". An extracurricular reading that interests him very much.He originally wanted to buy a flying broom, but when he looked at the price, the cheapest flying broom cost 100 gold galleons.Although this price is considered cheap among alchemical products, it is still very expensive.Winters dismissed the idea immediately.

Then they went to a pet store called Owl Post Office, where Winters bought a golden eagle and Aurora bought an eagle owl.Winters named his golden eagle Finbul, while Aurora named her eagle owl Typhon.These two raptors looked at everything around them with an imposing manner, as if they were the masters of this place.Then they arrived at the important destination of this journey: Ollivander's Wand Store.

"All that's left is the wand," Aurora said excitedly.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Ollivander's Wand Store, Winters heard a chirping that seemed to come from afar, like celestial music.It wasn't the pet he bought. It seemed like the sound came from his mind or even from the depths of his soul.

"Are you okay?" Mary asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, fine," Winters said immediately, not wanting to worry his adoptive parents.

As soon as they entered the store, they heard a continuous "dong-dong" sound, as if some animal was persistently knocking on the cardboard box.And Ollivander was helping a girl with a pale face and black hair choose her wand.

The girl's mother didn't have a smile on her face, but rubbed her eyes from time to time, while her brothers always sighed softly.

"Oh my god, that's Mrs. Krall..." Winters said softly, but because she couldn't restrain her surprise, Lisa Krall still heard her.Lisa Krall turned to look at them, her eyes red and tears stained on her face.

"Hi, hello." The voice was weak, and Mrs. Krall's eyes stopped on Winters for a short while, as if she was recalling something.

At this time Ollivander said, "The tail hair of the Yew Thestral, an ancient and extraordinary combination, come and try it. If I remember correctly, this wand was very exciting the day you were born." The girl got it Yoshiki Yeqiu's tail-haired wand waved slightly, and a golden spark came out.

"I believe that you will achieve a great cause, and your name will be in the history of the continent of Alfranca."Ollivander shouted fervently.After the girl turned her head, a pale smile appeared on her pale face.

"Sorry, you have been waiting for so long",

"What's your name? My name is Winters Renault, what's yours?"

Winters wanted to defuse the awkwardness.

"You don't need to know my name, because...I'm going to a distant place soon",

"But I told you my name, but you didn't tell me yours. It's not fair," Winters complained.

"Okay then...my name is Elena Kral" the girl said reluctantly.

"This is my family." Winters introduced his adoptive parents to Ileana Essel's family. He always found that Mrs. Krall was always forcing a smile.

"We will meet again at Hogwarts," Elena said, walking past Winters.When she walked past Winters, Winters vaguely smelled the smell of sun-drenched clothes.

"Then we'll see you again at Hogwarts." Mrs. Clough's voice was always weak.

"See you at Hogwarts" Mr. and Mrs. Eisen waved goodbye to Elena's family.

"So which one of you two comes first?" Ollivander asked.

"Of course, ladies first." Winters said and made an invitation gesture. Aurora and Lydia burst out laughing, and Aurora even turned red from laughing.

"Your son is such a gentleman..." Ollivander suddenly stopped talking.

"It seems like just yesterday, your parents came to me to buy their first wand. My clerk couldn't pick out the one that suited them, and I was very embarrassed. Of course, in the end, they bought theirs. Your own wand.

Mr. Renault, your mother's wand was a yew ptarmigan tail feather, 14.5 inches long.Your father's wand is the nerve of a cedar dragon's heart tendon, and is 15 inches long.Both combinations are extremely rare.I was surprised for a long time, and I believe you will also give me a different surprise."

Ollivander said to Aurora: "So, madam, do you prefer to use your left hand or your right hand?"

"right hand"

Ollivander's ruler is working automatically, and the notebook next to the ruler automatically records various data.

Ollivander looked at the record just now and was a little surprised: "Well... It's very strange, isn't it... It's another yew, so... Of course, that's it."

Ollivander waved his wand, and a purple-black box flew over. "It should be this, the heart tendon nerve of the yew dragon. Let's try it. The yew tree just now is what I got from a crazy man." It was collected by the wizard who dropped it...a very rare formula."

After Aurora got the wand, she seemed stunned for a moment, then waved the wand, and the golden fire kept shining.

"Then it's your turn, Mr. Renault," Ollivander said.But Ollivander didn't ask him a question.That ruler and notebook didn't work either.That "dong dong dong" sound is becoming more and more frequent.

"Of course I remember, yes, that's him. He must be impatient to wait. He has become more and more impatient in recent days." Ollivander's voice became a little crazy.

"I'm going to the basement," Ollivander called.Just as Winters looked confused, Ollivander came out of the basement.He was holding a non-reflective black box.There was something in the box in his hand that was beating wildly, like an animal.

"Mr. Renault, can you do me a favor?" Ollivander suddenly shouted.

"What... Of course..." Before Winters could finish his words, a black object rushed out of the box.And it was coming straight at him. He closed his eyes subconsciously and held his head. The Eisens protected him behind them.Just when he thought he was going to the hospital anyway today, nothing happened.

He opened his eyes fearfully, and a black wand was floating quietly in front of his eyes.The tip of this staff was pointing at him, and it was burning with golden flames and also wrapped with an unknown black current.He didn't know why, but it seemed very familiar to him.

He took a deep breath and reached out to grab the wand. The moment he grabbed it, he once again heard the burst of celestial music coming from the depths of his soul, and at the same time he could hardly hear other sounds.Then a strange feeling passed through his body, as if he was reunited with an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

He waved his wand, and a bright golden flame rushed out from the tip of the wand.Only then did Winters hear the sounds around him.

"What was that sound just now?" Lydia asked

"It doesn't sound like a bird," the Eisens said in unison.Winters looked at Ollivander suspiciously.

"Elderwood Phoenix Feather Wand, 15 inches. On the day you were born, this wand appeared among your gifts. No one knows how it appeared.

But everyone is certain of one thing, the road waiting for you will be anything but smooth.Dumbledore thought you were too young at the time, so he asked me to keep the wand first."

Ollivander looked at Winters blankly and said softly, "It has a wand that can barely be regarded as a brother. But... that wand has a terrible reputation."

They paid and left the Ollivanders store.They paid and left. Since it was already noon and everyone was hungry, they went to the Bee's Crown Tavern opposite Ollivander's Wand Shop and bought some sandwiches and ice-cold orange juice.And Winters had no appetite at all. He kept thinking about Ollivander's words.

"What's wrong with you Winters?" Lydia looked at him.

"He must be worried about what happened just now," Aurora said.

"Don't worry, we are here, and there is Dumbledore. He is the greatest wizard in history, isn't he?" Aurora was comforting Winters.

Although Winters' family has been comforting him, he has been thinking about Ollivander's uncomfortable words: The road is never smooth.

Those words reminded Winters: For the sake of his family, he must become strong as soon as possible
