Chapter 3 Chapter 3: Diagon Alley

"Sorry, it's a pity that I'm not, but I would like to know why you think so?" Dumbledore touched his beard and smiled.

"I don't know, maybe it's because Christmas is coming soon." Kahn shook his head in disappointment.

"If I remember correctly, it's July now, right?" he asked.

"..." "What's the matter with you? And how did you get in, old man?" Kahn said rudely.

"Kid, call me principal. As for how I got in, maybe you want to see some magic." Dumbledore winked at her playfully.

"magic?"

"Those tricks on the street to deceive people?" Kahn asked disinterestedly.

He didn't speak, just waved his little wooden stick. The next second, Kahn's only quilt suddenly caught fire. She was startled by this sudden situation and quickly tried to put out the fire, but before she could Once you get started, the fire disappears on its own.

"What did you do?" Kahn looked at him with an unhappy expression, "I only have this quilt, you have to pay me a new one."

"I'll buy you a new one." He agreed readily. This made Kahn have a good impression of him.

"...How did you do that just now?" Kahn asked after hesitating.

"I'm glad you're finally asking me this question." Dumbledore handed her a letter, "I hope it answers your questions."

Kahn took the letter. There was a shield painted on it, with a capital "h" surrounded by a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake. She opened the letter and read it quickly, then raised her head and looked at Dumbledore. , "Magic school?"

Dumbledore nodded and said, "You should have discovered what makes you unique. Children with magical talents in the UK will receive a Hogwarts notice when they are 11 years old."

"Okay." Kahn successfully accepted the new identity, "Now that I have received it, can I not go to school?"

"Yes, but I don't recommend you do this. You can learn magic better there. Don't you want to go?" He said kindly.

"No, I really want to go, I just want to ask." She was indeed very interested in magic, and this interest caused a faint ripple in her calm mood.

She put away the letter and said, "Sir, I haven't asked you your name yet. Can you tell me your name?"

"Oh, of course! Albus Dumbledore, you can just call me Professor Dumbledore, you can do whatever you want." He looked very generous.

"Dumbledore? Principal?" She paused for a moment before saying, "Does the principal come to pick up every student personally? I thought the principal would be busier and have more important things to do."

He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed for a moment, but before Kahn noticed it, he returned to his smile and said, "But I always care more about the children coming out of here."

Here, the orphanage? Dumbledore likes orphans?

Ok.

"School will start on September 9st, and before then, you have to prepare what you are going to use."

"Will you take me there? Tell me where it is. It's the same if I go by myself."

"You will have a chance in the future, just let me show you the way for the first time." He said this, and Kahn could only nodded. The next thing she realized was how right she was. She didn't expect that she had to go to London first to buy something. Without Dumbledore, she wouldn't even be able to get the money for the ticket. By the way, do wizards even take the subway? It feels different from the wizard in my memory.

Only then did she realize a problem, "Professor Dumbledore." She pulled his robe, and Dumbledore immediately stopped and looked at her.

"I don't have any money." In fact, neither did the orphanage.

Dumbledore rubbed her head and said gently: "Don't worry, kid. The school will give financial aid to students who cannot afford to buy supplies, which is enough for you to buy what you need."

That's great. There are no tuition fees for going to school, food and accommodation are included, and you can even learn magic. Kahn can't think of a better place than Hogwarts.

Dumbledore took Kahn to Charing Cross Road in London and walked into a hidden street. By the way, the Novia home where Kahn used to live was also nearby, but Kahn didn't know that it was there at that time. There will be a wizard's bar in such a short distance.

Kahn's hand holding on to Dumbledore's robe never let go, and he hid behind him, quietly observing some items he had never seen before in the Broken Ax Bar.

Dumbledore obviously had a lot of status. As soon as he entered the bar, the people inside stopped talking and looked over together. When they saw Kahn behind him, they continued the previous noise. Dumbledore led her As he walked towards the backyard of the bar, several people talked to him on the way, and he chatted with them for a while.

Dumbledore also introduced Kahn to the school's Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Quirrell - who also happened to be here. Professor Quirrell wore a purple scarf on his head. He looked a little shy and stuttered a bit when he spoke to Dumbledore, just like every employee who met his boss during vacation.

When Dumbledore took her away, she could still feel Professor Quirrell looking at her quietly. He probably thought she had some identity, otherwise why would Dumbledore take her with him for nothing.

There was nothing in the backyard of the Broken Ax Bar, only a thick brick wall. Kahn didn't understand what Dumbledore was bringing her here, so he honestly spoke his mind.

"There is no way." She looked up at Dumbledore.

He just smiled mysteriously at Kahn, then took out the wand from his arms and tapped it a few times on the wall. Suddenly the entire wall began to move, reorganizing and gradually receding to both sides, revealing the excitement hidden behind it. streets. There are crooked shops on both sides of the street. Most of the people coming and going are wearing clothes similar to the style of the Dickens era. Only a few of them are wearing clothes that look like Muggles.

"Wow!" Even Kahn couldn't help but let out a small sigh when he saw this scene for the first time, lamenting the magic of magic.

Dumbledore looked down at Kahn: "Welcome to Diagon Alley, little wizard."

Because Dumbledore was too conspicuous, they did not stop on this street and quickly rushed to the next street. Kahn took out the admission letter he received and looked at the things listed above that he needed to buy before starting school. "What should we buy first, Mr. Principal? If possible, I would like to see the wand first." Dumbledore told her on the subway that every wizard has his own wand, and he must have a wand before he can change it. Good release spell.

"No problem, of course. I recommend you to go to Ollivander's Wand Shop. Their wands are the best. But unfortunately I can't go with you. I need to leave for a while now. Don't worry, I will Come back before you finish shopping." He said suddenly, and handed Kahn two money bags, "You can have fun here."

One of the two money bags was a bursary from the school, and the other was pocket money sponsored by Dumbledore. He playfully winked at Kahn and asked her not to tell other students.

Dumbledore disappeared in the blink of an eye. Kahn looked around and didn't see Ollivander's wand shop. Instead, he saw a shop selling brooms. There were a bunch of children lying outside the glass display window looking longingly. Kahn also took a look at the brooms, but she didn't see what else the brooms could do besides sweeping the floor. Dumbledore wasn't around, so no one could explain them to her.

She could only leave the store with "Quidditch Boutique" with a slight disappointment. Although she did not find Ollivander's wand shop, she saw Madam Malkin's robe store and thought of the three sets written on the admission list. Wearing a plain work robe, she decided to buy clothes first and then a wand. Anyway, Dumbledore didn't know when he would be back, and she still had plenty of time to shop.

After pushing open the slightly retro door of Madam Malkin's Robe Store, the bell hanging beside the door rang, reminding the shop that a customer was coming. A witch in the room was helping a pale, thin boy with a back-to-back hair. The pin pinned out the size he was going to wear.

Madam Malkin asked Karn to stand on the footstool next to the boy and help her measure him.

"Hey, are you going to Hogwarts too?" the boy with the head on his back asked Kahn. This surprised her a little. He was the first wizard here to take the initiative to speak to Kahn.

"Yes," Kahn said. "First grade, what about you?"

"Oh, just like you, my father is buying books for me next door, and my mother is looking for a magic wand on the street." He finished the sentence slowly and drawled. "Then I'm going to drag them to see the broomsticks. I don't understand why freshmen can't have their own broomsticks. I'm like, I'm going to force my dad to buy me one and smuggle it in."

She didn't know why he told her this. She obviously just casually asked what grade he was in, but he started talking nonstop as if he had found a trash can that listened to his nonsense.

"Do you have your own broomstick?" he continued.

"No." She didn't even know what it was. She guessed it might be something from that Quidditch boutique.

"Ever played Quidditch?"

"No." Although Kahn didn't hate such people, he began to feel that he talked too much.

"I can see it." He drawled in an annoying tone and glanced at Kahn, "Why are you wearing Muggle clothes? Forget it, it's not important, I played Quidditch, and my dad said, It would be a shame if I couldn't be selected for our school's varsity team. I agree with this view. Do you know which college you were assigned to?"

"I don't know, it wasn't mentioned in the admission letter." Kahn said obediently.

"Of course it won't be mentioned in the admission letter. No one knows which house I will be sorted into before arriving at school. However, I know that I will definitely be sorted into Slytherin because our whole family graduated from there one by one. If I were sorted into Hufflepuff, I think I would drop out, what do you think?"

"I don't know, what's wrong with Hufflepuff?" She had already heard Dumbledore talk about the four houses in advance on the subway, but she didn't know the differences between the houses yet.

"Why don't you know anything?" He glanced at Kahn with some disgust, "Slytherin is the best college, and it is the only place that is worthy of me."

He looks like a proud peacock, showing off his power, Kahn thought quietly to himself.
