The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 4 Diagon Alley and Unexpected Acquaintances

After breakfast the next day, Mr. Lambert took Ryan to take the subway to Charing Cross Road, which was only about half an hour away from their home.

On the way, Ryan kept thinking about the world of Harry Potter.

In the novel, the magical world is not the kind of high-magic world where there are many demigods like dogs, liches walk everywhere, and supernatural beings dominate.But from some perspectives, the extraordinary side of the world is not so simple.

For example, in the field of life, there is a magic stone that can make people live forever.A time-turner that can be used by a little girl in the Time Realm.In the field of space, space expansion spells and teleportation are popularized by adult wizards.There are even lucky potions that may affect karma and fate.These things, especially some popular spells about space and mind, can be said to be hundreds of years ahead of the world's technological side.

The magic in this world is probably not as simple as imagined.After all, Rowling is writing fairy tales, which are only part of the wizarding world.

As for the combat effectiveness of wizards, even Pettigrew Peter, a wizard who was considered a bit lame, could blow up half a street.This can only show that the wizarding world is not incapable of fighting, but that many things related to fighting have been deleted from school education, and this knowledge can only be passed down through the family.

Thinking of this, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he has a grocery store in the world, which should be able to make up for the lack of certain knowledge as an ordinary person. After all, he and the savior went to school in the same year. Thinking about the original text of the novel, you know this It will definitely not be safe and secure for a few years.

It seems that the previous life plan needs to be changed, and now the main goal is to improve strength. After all, strength is fundamental in the magic world. Otherwise, why is Dumbledore the leader of wizards instead of Fudge.

Just as he was thinking, Mr. Lambert stopped in front of him.

"Here we are, this is No. 24, Charing Cross Road... No. 28, hey, why is there no No. 26?"

Ryan looked up and saw an old dilapidated bar in front of him, with a wooden sign on it saying the Leaky Cauldron, between a record store and a bookstore.

"Dad, hold my hand." Ryan took his father and pushed open the door of the bar.

"This is amazing." Mr. Lambert sighed, looking at the room in front of him.It's a medieval-style pub that doesn't look too tidy, the lighting is a little dim, and some people in robes are drinking or playing dice.

Maybe they stood at the door for a long time, a man whose hair was almost stripped and looked like a blunted walnut quietly appeared in front of them: "I am Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, it seems that you need help. "After finishing speaking, he glanced at Ryan: "Are you a freshman at Hogwarts for the first time?"

"Yes," Ryan said. "We have never been exposed to magic before, how can I get to Diagon Alley? I need to buy things for school."

The boss Tom showed an ugly smile: "Diagon Alley, come with me." After speaking, he took Ryan and his son to the backyard.Tom took out his wand and pointed it at the back wall, "Count three pieces on the top of the trash can, then count two pieces across the side...knock three times!"

As Tom tapped, the walls vibrated and began to move, until at last a wide archway emerged, leading to a winding cobbled street with no end in sight.

"You'd better go to Gringotts first, that is, go straight and see the tallest white building where the wizard's currency is exchanged." After finishing speaking, Tom put away his wand and left.

The father and son walked towards Gringotts along the cobblestone street. There were bargaining sounds and some strange animal calls from the shops on both sides of the street. Mr. Lambert showed the curiosity of a writer, and it took Ryan some effort to let He wasn't leaning over the glass to look at the delicate gilded astronomical model.

Soon, they came to a snow-white building towering above the surrounding shops.Beside the shiny bronze gate, stood a goblin in a scarlet gold-inlaid uniform (Mr. Lambert complained in Chinese: "This is a goblin? It's obviously a goblin that looks like a human.").The goblin looked up at the two of them, and then said weakly, "Are you a new student at Hogwarts? To exchange currency, go to the special window. There is a sign to remind you."

Entering the golden hall of Gringotts, there is a sign of Hogwarts new currency exchange hanging on the counter in the corner of the hall.

"Hello." Ryan walked to the counter and greeted the goblin.

"Freshman, tell me your name."

"Lian Liang"

"Confirm, you are on the list." The elf looked at a piece of parchment and said.

"New students can exchange up to 200 Galleons per year." After speaking, he handed over a pocket, and Mr. Lambert took out a stack of 50-pound banknotes from the bank last night and handed them to the goblin at the counter, and then said to Ryan: " This is a bit like Huaxia, last time your cousin told me that there is also a quota per person for the exchange of pounds there, and a lot of documents have to be written."

After exchanging the money, the two decided to start buying familiar things first, so they went to various shops and bought magic robes, textbooks, crucibles, balances, potions, crystal bottles and other items listed on the list.Of course, Ryan declined Mr. Lambert's suggestion to give him a pet on the pretext that he might need all his energy to deal with the new environment in an unfamiliar place.

Everything went smoothly with the shopping process.But thinking about spending a lot of money on a liar's novel next year, Ryan felt a little depressed.

At last they came to a small, battered shop with peeling gold lettering, which read, Ollivander: Wands of Fine Wands Since 380 BC.A wand stood alone on a faded purple cushion in the dusty window by the door.

Pushing open the store door, Ryan found a man in a suit and his daughter trying on a wand. Their backs looked familiar.

Before he could figure it out from his mind, Mr. Lambert stepped forward and said softly, "Mr. Granger, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Ryan suddenly remembered that this Mr. Granger is a dentist, and the clinic is not far from his home. He has also been to his clinic to have his teeth checked. The most important thing is that his daughter is in the same grade as him, but not One class, every time it is No.2 in the school exam grade (Lian: "College students take the first place in elementary school, it is not something to be proud of, but to be humble.").

Suddenly, Ryan froze, Granger, dentist, girl with brown curly hair, Hogwarts in '91.It was easy for him to guess who the girl was.I didn’t know it before. On the one hand, I thought this was an ordinary world and didn’t think in that direction. On the other hand, Miss Granger’s appearance was a little different from that of an actor. Most importantly, the pronunciation of the lady’s name he heard at school should be similar to Hermani, the pronunciation of Hermione in Chinese is very different.

Ryan felt the world's malice towards him, an outsider, and it seemed that his plan for seven years had to be revised again.
