HP's Silence is Gold

The Leaky Cauldron - This is a dingy, small bar.It stands on the side of the London street. If Hagrid hadn't pointed it out, Lena, Harry and Mrs. Blank would never have noticed this bar. Ordinary people passing by in a hurry didn't even have the desire to glance at it, or From the start, their eyes were set on a big bookstore on one side and a record store on the other, and they couldn't see it at all.

Following Hagrid into the store, Mrs. Blank's hands tightly held Lena and Harry's. She looked around cautiously. She couldn't blame her for being too vigilant, but because it was too dark and dirty here. By the way, this Leaky Cauldron is too mixed up for two children.

Everyone here knew Hagrid, everyone smiled and waved at him, and the bar owner even picked up a glass and said, "As usual, Hagrid?"

"No, Tom, I have important things to do." Hagrid patted the barkeeper on the shoulder with his huge palm, almost pinning him down.

"Oh, that's a pity." Without saying anything, the barkeeper smiled at Hagrid.

Hagrid shrugged and led Lina and the three of them across the bar to a small patio surrounded by walls, where there was nothing but a trash can and some weeds.

"Well, three dollars up, two dollars down..." Hagrid muttered. "Okay, you three stand back."

He tapped lightly on the wall three times with the head of the umbrella that never left his body, and the bricks he knocked on shook, and they began to move, and a small hole appeared in the middle, and then the hole changed more and more. The bigger it was, the wider the archway appeared in front of them, which was wide enough for Hagrid to pass through. It was a winding cobbled street with no end in sight.

"Welcome to Diagon Alley," said Hagrid.

Seeing the inarticulate and overly mature Linna showing the same surprised expression as Harry, Hagrid grinned at the two of them. Not to mention the curious children, even Mrs. Blank looked like a beginner Like a child in the world, he is full of surprises about everything here.

They walked along the archway, and the sound behind them made Harry, who was restless, couldn't help but look sideways, only to see that the archway suddenly narrowed, and then turned into the same solid wall as before. .

"Sister, look over there..." Holding Linna's hand, Harry was so excited that he wished he could have eight more eyes to see everything here clearly.

"Old." Linna muttered softly. Although everything here is magical, compared with their ordinary world, the magic world seems a bit old. It seems to be stuck in the last century. Haven't they thought about innovation? getting old?

"We'll go to Gringotts to get the money." Hagrid patted the shoulders of the two accompanying children. "Time is very tight, we have to hurry up."

Gringotts - the only wizarding bank in the wizarding world run by goblins, you can also deposit money or rent safes, and it is also the safest bank in the world except Hogwarts.Hagrid led them to a snow-white building towering above the surrounding shops. Beside the shiny bronze gate stood a figure in a scarlet and gold uniform. That was... a goblin?

"Is this a goblin?" Mrs. Blank couldn't help crying out. It was the first time she had encountered such a strange creature. It was a head shorter than Harry's child, with a dark face that revealed intelligence. Pointy beard, hands and feet are particularly long, this is the legendary goblin?

"Yes, that's a goblin," Hagrid replied.

When they entered the door, the goblin bowed to them. Sure enough, no matter where it is, there will be a hostess (?) who acts as a facade in the service industry. No, it is a person of etiquette. The word goes far.

Next, they were taken by Hagrid to withdraw the money. Naturally, Madam Blank did not follow. She stood in the hall and waited for Hagrid and the others to withdraw the money. After waiting for almost half an hour, Harry, Lena and the others After returning, looking at Hagrid with a livid face, Mrs. Blank asked worriedly, "Mr. Hagrid, what's wrong with you?"

"Well, let's go out first." Covering his mouth, Hagrid swayed his huge body and walked outside Gringotts. Seeing that he was about to faint, Mrs. Blank was a little confused.

"He gets motion sickness." Lena explained what was wrong with Hagrid lightly.

"Actually, I think the trolley is very exciting." Harry felt that the trolley in Gringotts was comparable to the roller coaster he had never ridden before. He had always wanted to go to an amusement park, but the Dursleys Only a real person would not be so kind to take him to play. This time, he has passed the addiction of fake roller coaster.

"It seems that he needs to take a good rest." Mrs. Blank was amused by Linna and Harry's words. She never thought that Hagrid would be a person who would suffer from motion sickness. It's normal, it seems that the trolley under Gringotts is a test.

When he came outside Gringotts, Hagrid's expression was still very bad. He pointed to Madam Malkin's robe store in the diagonal corner and said, "Mrs. Blank, I want to go to the Leaky Cauldron for a refreshing drink. You don't mind, do you? You see, that little cart at Gringotts is disgusting."

"No problem, I will take care of Linna and Harry." Mrs. Blank said while holding the two children.

"Then I'll trouble you." Smiling weakly at Mrs. Blank, Hagrid walked towards the Leaky Cauldron with his huge body shaking. He had to have a drink to calm himself down.

After Hagrid left, Mrs. Blank took Lena and Harry into the Madam Malkin's robe store that Hagrid had pointed out earlier.The Madam Malkin was a squat witch with a lovely smile and a purple robe. "Are you going to buy Hogwarts school uniforms, my dears?"

Before Mrs. Blank could say what she wanted to buy, she knew what Lena and Harry needed. Every year, she faced batch after batch of Hogwarts freshmen, and this year was no exception. "We have a lot of them here. To be honest, there is a young man trying on clothes in it right now!"

At the back of the shop stood a pale, gaunt child on a footstool, and a witch was pinning up his black robe.Mrs. Malkin looked at Lina and Harry. Adhering to the principle of ladies first, she let Lina stand on another footstool next to the child, put a robe on her, and pinned it to fit her. The length comes.

Harry looked curiously at a small tape measure dodging behind a witch. He smiled at the tape measure. Then, he stretched out his hand and tugged at Mrs. Blank's sleeve, before she knelt down and looked kindly at his At that moment, he pushed the old pair of round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Mrs. Blank, shall we wait here for Hagrid to come back?"

"Yes, we are not familiar with this place and need Mr. Hagrid's leadership."

"Oh." Nodding, Harry continued to move his gaze to the moving tape measure, his eyes sparkled with curiosity, he really wanted to touch the moving tape measure, but seeing how it shrank into a ball, It seems very timid.

"Hello." The boy standing on the footstool next to Linna said. "Are you going to Hogwarts too?"

Lena didn't listen to the boy's words, and Lena's attention was all on Harry. Now she was thinking about how to propose to Mrs. Blank that Harry should temporarily stay in their orphanage before going to school. From now on, make up for the 11-year missing sibling relationship between her and Harry.

Besides, it remains to be seen whether the aunt's family has actually abused Harry.

Seeing that Harry was so thin, he knew that the pain was not light.

"Hey! I'll talk to you again!" The boy was ignored by Linna, and displeasure floated on his pale face.

"..." Lena continued to stare at Harry, immersed in her own thoughts.

"You!" Turning his head and glaring at Harry, who was being watched by Linna, the boy decided not to talk to the girl who ignored him. Harry beside the decent old lady said, "Are you also going to Hogwarts?"

"Yes." Startled by the boy's sudden manner of speaking to him, Harry whispered back with a wink.

"My father is helping me buy books next door, and my mother is looking for a wand on the street." While talking to Harry, the boy casually glanced at Linna who was beside him in a daze.

Seeing that she still chose to ignore him, the boy's pale cheeks blushed slightly. It was the first time he took the initiative to talk to someone, but he was ignored like this. He sneered at Linna, and then he focused on When it came to the thin and small Harry, he spoke in a slow, drawn-out tone with a pretentious air, which reminded Harry of Dudley from the Dursleys. "I'm going to drag them to see the broomsticks later, I don't understand why the first graders can't have their own broomsticks, I think, I'm going to force my dad to buy me one and try to sneak it in. "

Sure enough, it was very similar to Dudley, except for the appearance.

This is Harry's impression of the boy.

"Do you have your own broomstick?" the boy continued.

"No." Harry shook his head.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed his neck. He was originally thinner than children of the same age. The feeling of looking up at people was really bad. He pushed the worn-out round-frame glasses on the bridge of his nose, wondering whether he should have a relationship with Linna Same, choose to ignore this boy.

At this moment, Linna jumped off the footstool, and she pointed to the footstool behind Harry. "Go up."

"Oh." Nodding, Harry stood on the footstool obediently to Linna's words. This time, he was the one being played by Mrs. Malkin.

Now, Harry and the boy were at eye level, well, not at eye level, but better than looking up.

The boy continued to talk to him. They talked a lot about Hogwarts, but Harry didn't like the tone and attitude of the boy very much. He wanted to end the chat with him quickly. Finally, God heard his words Pray, their conversation ended with Hagrid standing outside Madam Malkin's with two large scoops of ice cream.

The size of the clothes has been measured, and Mrs. Malkin said that they can come and pick them up in the afternoon. After Mrs. Blank smiled politely at her, she took Linna and Harry outside together, and ran to the standing outside. In front of Hagrid, he took the ice cream ball from his hand, and when he was about to eat, Harry quietly approached Lena and asked, "Sister, why don't you talk to him?"

"Who?"

"That boy."

"Arrogance, naive." Linna's impression of the boy can only be summed up in these two words. She doesn't want to waste time talking nonsense with a kid who has nothing to do with her.

"..." Harry licked the ice cream ball in his hand, and he silently shifted his gaze to the boy who was still staying in Mrs. Malkin's shop. No matter how much he didn't like boys in his heart, he also raised eyebrows towards him because of Linna's words. With infinite sympathy, he had a hunch that the future school life would be wonderful.

His sister is inexplicably powerful.
