Hogwarts card system

Chapter 3 Dreaming about Diagon Alley

"Wait!" Mammy was a little surprised, "You mean, the school that teaches magic? You really aren't..."

Mammy didn't say "just kidding" later.After all, Professor McGonagall's aura and expression make people feel a lot more respectful.

This is the aura that only the dean has for many years.

There was an extra wand in Professor McGonagall's hand, and he pointed at Mammy lightly, and seemed to read a series of vague pronunciations.

Then Mammy's attitude changed: "Oh, welcome Professor McGonagall, I hope little Ted can enter your school. That would be great. You chat, I'll make you tea." Then she walked away up.

Ted looked at the wand in Professor McGonagall's hand, "Is this magic? It won't have a bad influence on Mammy, right?"

Professor McGonagall's expression was rarely relaxed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, "Don't worry, Mr. Epifani, this magic won't have a bad effect on her. She will only think that you entered a very good school , will be very relieved."

She tapped the plate on the coffee table with her magic wand again, and the plate suddenly turned into a sparrow, flew around the room, and landed on the coffee table again to become a plate.

Ted showed a surprised and excited expression, "Wow~ amazing!"

Professor McGonagall nodded, "Mr. Epiphany, you have special abilities that other children don't have, do you?"

Ted looked at the guitar on the side - it shouldn't be about my singing.

"You mean this?" Thad held out his hand to the glass on the table.

The cup started to shake and flew into his hand.

"Oh, well done." Professor McGonagall looked at Ted again.

Few young wizards are able to control their magic without education.

This is a very talented kid.

"Then, come with me, and I'll take you to buy some necessary things."

"Professor, I want to speak to Mammy."

Professor McGonagall waved his hand, "No need, after all, you can't explain this kind of thing to Muggles too clearly, she will think you were admitted by us..."

If it's the parents of a little Muggle wizard, it's necessary to let them know where their child has gone.

They have this power, even under secrecy laws.

But if it's a nanny in an orphanage, that's another matter.She couldn't be considered Tad's guardian, that's why she did it - she used a confusion spell.

Ted hurriedly asked, "Then should I bring my luggage?"

"No, you don't need it. You have to come back after shopping. There are still two months before school starts."

……

Walking out the door, Ted said: "That...Professor McGonagall, I have no money. I only have 22 pounds and 16 pence. Is it enough?"

Professor McGonagall: "Mr. Epifani, I don't think you need to worry about that."

"Just call me Ted."

"Okay, Ted..."

It turns out that Hogwarts has prepared an annual interest-free student loan for special students like Ted.

It's certainly not much, but finishing school is no problem.It can be repaid after graduation.

Conscience!
Wait, the last one to receive a student loan, wouldn't it be Tom?

Professor McGonagall took Ted to a nearby alley, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his expression a bit subtle.

"Ted, in order to save time, we need to use magic to get to our destination. It may be uncomfortable, so bear with it."

"Ok."

"Then, take my hand... Apparate!"

Ted suddenly felt himself being spun up and squeezed into a narrow pipe, and it took a lot of tossing before he stopped.

When his feet hit the ground again, he almost fell down.The stomach churned even more, and it took more than ten seconds to stop the nausea.

Professor McGonagall on the side was not unusual, but was looking at Ted: I didn't expect him to be quite adaptable.

Now Ted seriously suspects that he has been retaliated against!
In fact, this is indeed the case, and it should normally come by car.

But who told Professor McGonagall to let Little Ted feel the charm of magic in advance?Let him know that some cats can't rua!

This older cat girl is not very smart.

Ted: Did you do it on purpose, or did you accidentally?

Professor McGonagall: On purpose!
Ted: Then I'd better not go to Gryffindor and go to you.

But to be honest, he really wanted to try it once!Then I'll be like this, and then that, and then this...

The young master of death couldn't help but start the spiritual victory method.

The system seems to feel something——

"Ding ~ trigger task:

[But again and again, lick her! (green)】.

What's wrong with petting a cat?What's wrong with petting a cat?If you become a hedgehog, won't I stop masturbating? !
Target: Professor McGonagall in rua Animagus state again.

Reward: 250 experience, +lv1 polymorph.

Damn it, fuck her! "

This... I, I'm just kidding!Why are you still serious? !
How can this be done? ! ! !

"Okay, Ted, here we are. The Leaky Cauldron on Charing Cross Road." Professor McGonagall looked at Ted in a daze, and felt that his preschool education was very effective.

"Attention, there is a Muggle-repelling curse cast here, Muggles—that is, ordinary people can't see it."

Ted looked up and saw a very small door, probably not much bigger than a door.

An iron rod protruded from the door plaque, and a wooden sign was hung. There was no writing on it, but a picture of a leaking cauldron.It is so big that it can stew a child.

It's located between a big bookstore and a record store, and although it's eccentric and striking, no one passing by will even glance at it.

Professor McGonagall pushed open the door first, and walked in with Ted.

The inside of the bar was a bit dim, and there were oil lamps on, no wonder it was so dark that it looked like a nightclub.

By the way, it seems that the wizarding world cannot use electrical appliances.

So how much do you get a magic lamp?Oil lamps and candlesticks are too outdated.

Some long, square or round wooden tables are scattered around.Some weird-looking wizards in fancy clothes were drinking and chatting.

Many people took the initiative to say hello to Professor McGonagall.

The bald boss behind the bar, Tom Abbott, put down his glass and greeted Professor McGonagall, "Oh, Professor McGonagall, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you going to pick up this year's newborn?"

Professor McGonagall nodded, "Yes. I'll take him to Diagon Alley for shopping."

"Oh, great. My granddaughter is also a freshman this year."

After a few pleasantries, Professor McGonagall led Ted out through the back door of the Leaky Cauldron, which looked like a dead end.There is a litter box against the wall.

"Remember how to open it," said Professor McGonagall. "Using a wand, start from the trash can, count three pieces up, and then count two pieces down the side. Tap~"

Immediately afterwards, the very thick brick wall began to change. Amidst the rattling sound, the bricks began to recede and overlap, and an arched door appeared.

Inside the door is an alley about four or five meters wide. The cobblestone ground has been ground to a smooth level, and there are strange shops on both sides.

There are all kinds of incomprehensible goods on the street, wizards wearing wizard robes come and go in and out of the shops on the street, and many owls are flying around...

This is Diagon Alley, the starting point of the wizarding world!
Even Ted, who has watched it many times in movies and videos, was still shocked by this scene.Even the system in his mind was almost ignored.

"Ding ~ trigger task:

【Explore Diagon Alley (Green)】.

The most famous wizarding commercial street in Great Britain, why not go shopping here?Every store can't miss it!
Goal: Complete 100% exploration of Diagon Alley.

Progress: 1%.

Rewards: 100 experience, random cards.

Fighting is much more interesting than shopping~"

Looking at the stunned Ted, Professor McGonagall smiled slightly, "Okay Ted, I'll have a lot of time to surprise you in the future. Let's get the money first. You have a lot to buy..."

Professor McGonagall's pace was not slow, and he pulled Ted forward.

Ted looked left and right and couldn't see at all, so dazzled he could only walk forward.

After walking for five or six minutes, the two came to a fork in the road, and Professor McGonagall finally stopped.

Opposite the fork in the road is a three-story white building.

Other shops have at most two floors, and most of them are made of wood, but this building is made of white stone, which looks quite impressive from a distance.

Of course, it is limited to looking from a distance.

Because if you look closely, you will find: Oh my God!The white marble columns outside Gringotts are actually crooked!

And the crooked ones have their own characteristics. The pillars on the first, second and third floors are not in the same line, they are not in the same direction!

As a construction cow who used to run around with buckets, this scene hurt too much!

Ted had the urge to run over and straighten the post!

On both sides of the bronze gate of Gringotts, stood proud goblin guards in blood red uniforms trimmed with gold trim, looking at people with unpleasant eyes.

Going further inside is a silver door, engraved with a row of very eye-catching big characters:
Come in, stranger, but beware what happens to greed.

Blindly demanding and getting something for nothing will be punished most severely.

If you want to take from our underground vaults a fortune that was never yours.

You have been warned, O thief, that it is not treasure that brings you evil, but evil.

Ted curled his lips and said, "They seem to be very insecure."

Professor McGonagall nodded after hearing the words: "Indeed."

Seeing this, ordinary people probably think that goblins have a bad attitude towards wizards.

But Ted saw the viciousness of the goblins.

They are guilty and afraid, but greed and pride make them hold up their face.

Professor McGonagall quickly fetched Ted Student Loans from the tall counters on either side of the hall.

In order to highlight their condescension, those goblins set up 1.5-meter-high chairs behind the counter.It is estimated that you have to step on a small ladder to get up and down.

In fact, they should be regarded as a kind of goblin?
In the early years, the West was very uneducated and had a limited vocabulary. Many similar things were called Goblin.

This leads to goblins, goblins, goblins, gnomes, silly and indistinguishable.

The appearance of goblins is really far away from the aesthetics of human beings, and the appearance is really not on the stage.In Ted's view, calling a monster is more appropriate than a goblin.

There is a poem that proves that: the body is like a dwarf and five centimeters thin, and the body is three inches tall, with a broad face, concave nose, amber eyes, sharp ears and poisonous teeth hanging down to the knees, fists, hammers shake the sun and the moon, wolf walks through and weeps ghosts and gods, brothers are everywhere in Kyushu, The nickname is Goblin.

Their concept is very special. They think that what they make is their own. As for the fees paid to them, they are regarded as rent.As long as the first generation owner dies, they have the right to take things back.

When Gryffindor entrusted the goblins to make swords, they were blackmailed by them, and they were beaten badly.

Ted: Don't make me a Goblin Slayer~
　Wand in hand, follow me~ Kill goblins, grab Gringotts!
