Chapter 8 Revisiting Diagon Alley

Diagon Alley is a good place.

A month after his first visit, Andrew finally saved enough money for the round-trip fare to London and the expenses in Diagon Alley.

As a price, his study of textbooks and experiments with magic were not as fast as he had imagined, but it was necessary.

When he got off the train at King's Cross Station, he was even interested in taking a look at the station sign - according to Professor McGonagall's description, he would get on the 9 3/4 platform to go to Hogwarts, but at this point he was not interested in using his head to test whether the platform was open.

The train transferred to the subway, and around noon, he successfully arrived at the entrance of Diagon Alley, the Leaky Cauldron.

"What a great place."

He looked at the door of the bar, exclaimed, then took off the backpack from his back, took out the cloak and covered himself, and took out a glass of ice cubes from the backpack and put it in his arms.

He had no choice last time when Professor McGonagall brought him here, but this time he would not stand out by wearing an unsociable outfit and wandering around in this place frequented by wizards - he suspected that most wizards who were shopping had mastered the spell to lower the temperature inside their wizard robes, but he did not find a similar spell in his first-year textbooks.

Due to the special circumstances when Professor McGonagall brought him here last time, he had not yet mastered the skills of greeting ordinary wizards, but it was not a big problem - before Hogwarts opened, there were many people going in and out of Diagon Alley, and he only needed to put on his hood.

Everything went well, except for the stuffiness and heat.

So, after leaving the Leaky Cauldron, he decisively took off his hood, gave up his stupid disguise plan, and bought a large ice cream, and then walked quickly towards the second-hand bookstore.

After a simple negotiation with the boss, he obtained the right to browse all books except the boutique second-hand book area at the price of one Sickle per hour - he could even take his unfinished ice cream.

But there are no more things. Discrimination caused by age can only be erased by time. At his age, only when they don't meet each other will adults be willing to communicate with him seriously.

"That's why I chose to plagiarize as my first pot of gold..."

Andrew quickly finished his ice cream, put on his mask, and then began to look through old books.

Unlike the last time he chose books for teaching, he mainly looked for entertainment books this time.

Entertainment is human nature, whether it is Muggles or wizards.

In other words, everyone is a fun person, but the way to find fun is different.

He dare not say that he can guide everyone to find fun, but after finding out what wizards like, he is sure to do something that the wizard world likes.

There is a flaw in investigating this in a second-hand bookstore-the boss will not accept the kind of reading materials with strong timeliness, nor will he receive those second-hand books suitable for adult wizards in the wizard world, but other aspects should be enough.

Fairy tale collections and bedtime stories are all good things. The Ruining Childhood series is a classic hidden reading material. As long as it does not deviate from the original, readers will be very happy to read it...

"Be serious, Andrew... You thought before you came that as your grammar improves, you should write books with a wide audience."

He reminded himself to change his vest, and then flipped through the biographies of characters.

Biographies that can be bought and sold by second-hand bookstores are generally widely circulated, and the acceptance of changing to a plagiarism model is also very high - changing to an adventure story series is a good choice.

Then insert a little fantasy magic version, exaggerate the magic effect, as long as the negative image of the characters does not appear, you can get extremely high reviews.

After roughly investigating the popular magazine series, understanding the types of fairy tales that wizards often read, and then understanding the biographies of some famous wizards, Andrew felt that he had entered the door. He picked out the books he liked, touched his pocket and found that he didn't even have time to go to Gringotts to change money.

After paying for the books, he asked the boss to keep the books for him, and then he immediately rushed to Gringotts to exchange them for Galleons (because he could choose the day, Gringotts' business was handled very quickly).

"In fact, many story books are also available in the Hogwarts library."

Perhaps because he saw him running back and forth in a hurry, the shop owner kindly reminded him - his main profit is second-hand textbooks, and he can buy a lot of them at a low price every year when Hogwarts owls end or during graduation.

"That's what I want, sir," Andrew nodded, "Can I go to the boutique area to find second-hand books of the most popular books at the moment?"

"Then I really don't have any," the store manager spread his hands, "Lockhart's books are very popular, his second-hand books are hard to buy, and they are very popular, and many people have reserved them."

"Lockhart?"

"Of course, the most famous adventurer, his stories are so vivid."

The boss praised him - he also had an adventurous heart, but the Galleons earned from purchasing second-hand books at Hogwarts held him back.

‘Well, it seems I have to get another set of Lockhart books… Fortunately, the financial pressure is not that great.’ Andrew was packing and selecting classic books while thinking, “Also, I need an owl, an ordinary and most common owl.”

About ten minutes later, he arrived at the famous Eeyore Owl Shop.

Another ten minutes later, he left the shop carrying a straw owl - according to the books he read, this kind of owl is the most common owl in the entire wizarding world, and even most of the owls in the school are straw owls.

"But," he looked at his owl, "I always feel that the clerk is lying to me. You are ugly but very unique... Oh, don't!"

The owl's beak has reached his finger. Although it only pecked it lightly, the warning in its eyes is very strong. Obviously, if Andrew said something presumptuously, it would come to bite hard.

This incident made Andrew understand one thing at once. The clerk's words that it is very smart are definitely not bragging to increase its value.

"So, the spell in the birdcage that reduces the sense of existence is also true?" Andrew looked at the owl, "Well, since your bite is not strong, I decided to give you a nice name, but not now, we have to go back."

It nodded slightly, which surprised Andrew, who thought he had adapted to the existence of magic.

"The right book, the right target, and a suitable owl..."

Andrew nodded. This operation was quite perfect. What he had to do next was to find a hotel with a suitable price to stay for one night, and then set off from London to the orphanage the next day.

"Hey, man, I have a good idea."

Andrew said to his owl, "How about the Leaky Cauldron? It's a good opportunity for us to get some information about the wizarding world."

"Gu."
