save the bachelors

Chapter 4050 4052 [Leaky Cauldron Bar]

"That's why I came here." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "Let's go to Diagon Alley in London to do the shopping. We'll have what we need there."

"Diagon Alley in London. I've heard you mention it before." Lily nodded. "It's in the backyard of a bar, right?"

"Yes, you can enter Diagon Alley through certain methods in the backyard of the Leaky Cauldron." Xiang Nan nodded, "After entering, you must first go to Gringotts Bank to exchange pounds for gold Galleons, silver Sickles and copper Knuts, and then you can go shopping."

"There are banks in the magical world?" Robin asked in surprise.

"Of course." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "It was founded by the goblin Gringott and has a history of nearly five hundred years. It is very safe and secure. No one dares to rob it."

"Fairy?" asked Mary in surprise.

"Yes, they are intelligent humanoid creatures. They are short, with slender arms and legs, round heads, and are full of wisdom. They are very treacherous and cunning. You must be very careful when dealing with them." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "You will know when you see them, their characteristics are very obvious."

"Incredible." Robin, Mary and Penny couldn't help but say.

"I can go with you whenever you are ready to go." Xiang Nan added, "However, my mother and I will use Floo powder to go to Diagon Alley. You have no experience using Floo powder, so I suggest you take the train to London and then meet up at the Leaky Cauldron."

"Floo powder?" Robin asked doubtfully.

"Yes, it's a magic powder." Xiang Nan explained, "Just stand in a burning fireplace, sprinkle a handful of Floo powder, and shout out the name of the place you want to go. Then you can be transported to where you want to go through the Floo network. It's very fast and you'll get there in the blink of an eye."

"Wow!" Robin, Mary and Penny were all surprised. They didn't expect the wizarding world to be so magical.

"However, if you don't have experience, it's easy to make mistakes. For example, if you call the wrong name or speak unclearly, you may fail to teleport and not know where you are teleporting to." Xiang Nan explained, "And the teleportation process is not very comfortable. There will be a feeling of dizziness and collision, which may lead to vomiting, dizziness, bruises and other consequences. But once you get used to it, you will adapt a lot."

"I think we should take the train." Robin's smile was a little stiff, and he grinned and said, "There is a train to London this morning. We should arrive at one o'clock in the afternoon."

Mary, Petunia, and Lily all nodded.

"Then let's meet at the Leaky Cauldron at 1:30 pm." Xiang Nan smiled and told Robin the address of the Leaky Cauldron. "By the way, the exchange rate of Gringotts Bank is five pounds to one Galleon. Uncle Robin, you will need to prepare about six hundred pounds."

"Okay, thank you, see you in London." Robin Evans nodded with a smile. Thanks to Xiang Nan's guidance, many of their questions were answered.

……

Xiang Nan then returned home.

"Where did you go?" Irene Prince asked unhappily.

Although her temper was not good, she still cared for and loved her only son. However, due to her personality, this motherly love was not warm.

"Mom, Robin Evans' daughter also received an admission letter from Hogwarts." Xiang Nan explained, "It was delivered by Headmaster Dumbledore himself."

Irene Prince was surprised. She didn't expect that there were other wizards nearby. "Dumbledore, I haven't seen him for a long time~"

She was the captain of the Hogwarts Gobstones team, representing Hogwarts in competitions with other magic schools and achieving great results. That was her most dazzling moment.

Now she is just a poor and unhappy housewife.

"Mom, I have promised Headmaster Dumbledore that I will accompany the Evans family to Diagon Alley to go shopping." Xiang Nan added, "They will take the train to London, and we will meet at the Leaky Cauldron at 1:30 in the afternoon." Irene Prince nodded silently.

Although she was born in Slytherin, she was not a bad person and she did not discriminate against Muggles. Otherwise, she would not have married Tobias Snape. It was just that she was gloomy and withdrawn and not good at socializing with others.

……

After lunch in the afternoon, Irene Prince lit the fireplace and then motioned Xiang Nan to leave first.

Xiang Nan picked up a small handful of Floo powder and sprinkled it on the burning flame. The flame suddenly shot up high and changed from red and yellow to emerald green.

Xiang Nan stepped in and shouted "Leaky Cauldron Bar", and then he seemed to be sucked into a huge socket. His body kept spinning rapidly, and the whistling sound in his ears was deafening.

Xiang Nan did not panic and tried to remain calm.

Although it was his first time to use Floo Powder, Snape had used it many times before, so he had relevant experience. He knew that when using Floo Powder to teleport, the most important thing was not to be nervous. If you kept your mind balanced, you would suffer less.

Sure enough, although the feeling of using Floo powder was not comfortable, Xiang Nan was not tortured to death like Harry Potter in the movie.

In just a blink of an eye, the discomfort was gone.

Xiang Nan then heard some rustling voices in his ears. He opened his eyes and found himself in a bar.

Although it was afternoon and the sun outside should be scorching, the bar was still a little dim, and therefore looked shabby and dirty.

However, its business is still good, with an occupancy rate of almost 70%.

A few old ladies were sitting in a corner drinking sherry from small glasses, one of them smoking a long pipe, and a little man in a top hat was talking to a bar owner who had almost no hair and looked like a shrunken walnut.

In the west corner, several drinkers were drinking gin and playing a game called "Crackling Explosion Cards". In the east corner, several guests were reading the Daily Prophet and discussing current affairs.

"Kid, come out quickly, don't stand there, blocking other people's exit." The bartender called to Xiang Nan.

"Sorry." Xiang Nan hurried out.

Then, Irene Prince also appeared in the fireplace.

……

"Mom, I'll go wait for the Evans family at the door first." Xiang Nan said and walked out of the bar.

Erin Prince nodded.

Xiang Nan walked out of the Leaky Cauldron and saw that the bar was located between a bookstore and a record store, but people passing by seemed unable to see it.

Xiang Nan knew that it was under a spell and only wizards could see it. Of course, if a Muggle was led by a wizard, they could also enter the Leaky Cauldron.

Xiang Nan stood at the door for a while. About fifteen minutes later, a taxi stopped and the Evans family got out of the car. "Sorry to have kept you waiting. We were stuck in a traffic jam."
