Chapter 11: A Girl's Fantasy Journey (1)
"I've only been to your great-grandfather twice, that magical street... But I haven't found that bar since..."Lena drove Anna in her yellow Beetle car towards Charing Crossroads.
"I guess it's because only wizards can see that bar..."Anna suddenly realized a problem, Charing Cross is so long, and no one can ask for directions, so how do you find the crucible bar? Iron pot bar? Or is it a beaker bar?
"Mom, I think... Do you remember the name of that bar? "Anna is really starting to doubt her own memories of May.
Lena gave her the fatal blow, "Of course, it's the Leaky Cauldron," Lena misses a little, "Your great-grandfather didn't want me to get too much contact with the wizarding world, but I've always been interested in it, and I remember the name of the bar, and I've come here many times to find it..."
Liana's yellow beetle drifted suddenly.
"Hey! Do you know how to drive? You're almost in the sky! Lena was angry at the driver who almost hung up on her car, and was surprised by the strange dress of the other party-
I don't think there are too many people who like to wear unadorned black robes and crooked peaked hats in the car.
The man screamed, "Merlin's beard! There is no magic - these Muggle cars can still drive into the sky? After saying that, he realized what he had said and quickly covered his mouth.
O Merlin's beard! What's going on with these wizards?! Anna didn't want to look at the wizard's unshaven face, so she had no choice but to hold her forehead.
Lena was also apparently aware that she had encountered a wizard, and the two cars had just stopped at the traffic light.
"Oh, a little hemp... Hello friends! The man was a little panicked, he hadn't seen Anna just now, "I'm sorry I almost hit you!" Maybe you want to forget those unpleasant experiences? ”
The bearded wizard looked a little anxious, as if he was thinking about whether he needed to do something, and his right hand rummaged through the pocket of his cloak for something...
"Sir, I don't think you need to look for your wand anymore, it's right behind your wheel," Anna, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw clearly since the driver's seat of the British car was on the right, "we're on our way to the Leaky Cauldron, so you don't need to be nervous, let alone cast an amnesia spell on us." ”
"Oh! Merlin bless! I was so scared! I can't memorize the contents of the Secrecy Law at all, and I don't know what to say and what not to say... Although I feel like I've blended in with Muggles as much as I can! I even passed my Muggle driving test! The gentleman waved his hand, "I'm sorry again, I have to hurry to Diagon Alley to meet old friends, ladies and misses, and have a nice day!" ”
The wizard spoke very quickly, and Anna felt like she was back in college in an instant when she had passed the sixth level of English in college, and it was still an accelerated version of English pronunciation, but it was easy to extract the key information, "Mom! Hurry up and keep up with his car! He's supposed to go from the Leaky Cauldron to Diagon Alley too! ”
Anna was in a trance when she came down from the Beetle, are these wizards driving so wild? Leaving aside the unpleasant topic, Anna scrutinized the street in front of her.
On one side is a large bookstore that looks well decorated, with people coming in and out from time to time; On the other side is a record store with a lot of posters on the wall, which looks avant-garde... And among them, there was a red-brick building, which looked old, with a not-so-clean sign that read the Leaky Cauldron Bar, and next to it was a triangular iron frame with the sign of an iron broken cauldron hanging from it.
Anna pulled Lena over, and Lena looked happy, "I really didn't notice it at all, it's so hidden!" It became a bookstore next to it, no wonder I never found it again. ”
Anna pushed open the door to the Leaky Cauldron.
"Ding... Ding..."The bell by the door rang crisply, and Anna looked back at the street, where no one noticed the movement.
The smell of herbs came to her face, but it quickly dissipated, and Anna guessed that it came from the raunchy old women who were sitting in the corner of the room drinking, and had to complain that it was too dark and dirty as a gateway to the wizarding world and the Muggle world.
Anna walked over to the bar, and despite believing in her weight, the wooden floor creaked, but the other patrons didn't pay much attention to the two new faces, who didn't seem to be threatening.
"Boss?" Anna thought the boss would be in the back room, so she was startled by a bald man who looked like a shriveled walnut and suddenly appeared from under the bar.
"Hahaha... Scares you! The bald man leaned in and looked at Anna carefully, "Underage wizards can't drink yet, maybe you'd like some tea?" ”
"No, sir, Mr. Weasley said you could get to Diagon Alley from here, do you know what to do?"
"Oh?" The bald man looked at Anna carefully, looking a little confused, but still walked out of the bar, "Come with me, you can call me Tom," Old Tom led Anna and Lena to push open an old wooden door and came to the patio behind the bar, where there was a dumpster and a brick wall.
On the other side of this low wall was another world, and Anna was a little excited.
"The Weasleys are all good," said Tom Sr. suddenly.
"Yes, I gave him some Muggle toys to thank Mr. Arthur for taking me to St. Mungo."
Old Tom had a sincere smile on his face, "Hahaha, he also showed it off to me - that glowing ball!" Merlin's pants! He was so excited that day! Old Tom pulled out his wand and tapped it a few times on the brick wall, "From the bin, count three pieces up, then two pieces in the horizontal mile, just remember the order and point with the wand, and have fun!" ”
The brick wall, which had been built solidly, was partially dented, and then a small hole appeared, and the crimson bricks swirled and spread out on either side, forming an opening for two people to pass through.

Anna pulled her mother along a cobblestone path, and suddenly her eyes were bright.
