2. Strange bars
McGoth's eyes widened as he looked at the strange old man in front of him in a top hat and a large cloak.
"Well, hello, sir." With the vigilance of an adult, he held back the question that almost blurted out.
'Muggles? What was it then, what was eaten? Why are these people so weird, are they cosplaying? Why are they all dressed strangely, which makes my normal clothes abnormal. And how they all noticed me as soon as I walked through the door, and the obviously noisy ...... just now was full of questions, but obviously now was not the time to ask.
"Hello, Mr. Little Wizard." McGoth clearly sensed that the strange old man was curious about his dress, as if he had never seen it before.
"I'm sorry, sir. Did I bother you? ”
"No, no, you don't need to apologize, we just have very few strangers here, and they won't be so curious when you come back next time. All right, ladies and gentlemen, stop staring at our little wizard, if you continue to look at it like this, our little wizard may be tempted to shrink into a corner. ”
The strange men and women burst into friendly laughter, then stopped paying attention to McGoth and continued their conversation, and the bar suddenly returned to the feeling that McGoth had just entered. This made McGoth feel better instantly.
"Thank you, sir." Magos's eyes looked at everything curiously, including the strange old man in front of him, now he didn't think it was an ordinary bar, his eyes had fully adapted to the light inside, it looked very big here, definitely much bigger than the outside, and there was no trace of a mirror. Thinking of the words wizard, muggle and other words that the old man said just now, McGoth already had some guesses, and his heartbeat suddenly increased a lot, and he was really excited now, if he guessed correctly...... Suppress the excitement in your heart. Magos spoke slowly.
"Can we talk, sir, this is my first time in this place and I am curious about everything here."
"Of course, no problem, let's sit over there."
McGoth followed the old man to the empty table near the bar and sat down.
"Tom, bring me a butterbeer, and a sherbet drink for our little wizard."
"Okay." Soon, a man with almost stripped hair and a bearded walnut looked like two cups.
"This is the owner of the bar, Tom. By the way, can you tell me your name, Mr. Little Wizard. ”
"Of course, my name is Magos. Will, Hello Mr. Tom. ”
"Hello, Mr. Will, you are very polite." Tom smiled a not-so-good, said a word, and went back to the bar.
"You can call me Led, Parker is my last name, we rarely have strange faces, I hope it didn't scare you just now."
"Of course not, Mr. Parker." McGoth was silent and continued.
"I'm just curious, I guess I'm not the wizard you say, I just stumbled into this bar." McGoth looked at Led with some nervousness. Parker.
"Haha, Mr. Will, you may not have realized it yourself, Muggles wouldn't have seen this pub, let alone come in. So you're a little wizard, I'm pretty sure. Can you tell me your age? It looks like you haven't received your Hogwarts offer yet. ”
'Hogwarts, Muggles, wizards, oh my God, is this really the world of Harry Potter!' Does the wizarding world really exist? Or does the wizarding world have always existed in reality, but ordinary people don't know about it? ’
McGoth's face flushed with excitement, his heart beat as fast as a machine gun, the world of magic, it was exciting to think about.
"When... Absolutely, I'm 9 years old, just a few days after my birthday. Sir, am I really going to be a wizard, I'm so excited. I've never heard of a wizard before. ”
"Oh, you're only 9 years old and you've awakened your magic, that's amazing, you're going to be a good wizard. It's a pleasure to meet you. ”
"Most Muggles don't know about wizards, so are you a wizard? You've been there since you entered this bar, and I'm pretty sure you'll be getting your Hogwarts acceptance letter by the time you turn 11, so take it easy and have a drink, I think it will make you feel better. "Led. Parker said slowly.
With some trembling, McGoth picked up the drink in front of him and drank it down. It was a magical feeling, and all of a sudden he felt that he was full of energy, and all the fatigue of wandering outside before was swept away. The beating heart slowly began to calm down.
"It's amazing, is this the power of magic?"
"It's just a drink made from a very common potion, and you won't be surprised when you go to school later. Magic is much more advanced, and it takes you serious study in school to master it. ”
"Thank you so much, Mr. Parker, and could you please tell us a little bit about magic, I'd like to know more.'' ”
"Of course, there is no problem, where to start? Oh, by the way, let's start with the Muggles I just talked about. ”
Led. Parker looked at Magos with a serious look on his face, nodded happily and continued.
"When we say Muggles, we generally mean people who don't have magic and don't believe in magic, but later everyone called ordinary people who didn't have magic as Muggles."
"What did you call ordinary people who believed in magic but didn't have magical powers?"
"It's probably only known to wizards who love the history of ancient magic, but who cares.
It is also possible for wizards and wizards or wizards and Muggles to be descended from people who have no magical powers, which we call Squibs.
There is also a difference between wizards and wizards, as I just said, the descendants of wizards and Muggles are called half-blood wizards, more than three generations of parents are wizards and they call themselves pure-blood wizards, and there is another that has been wizards since centuries ago, and they are generally called wizarding families. ”
"What about me, I think my parents are ordinary people, and they have never shown anything incredible."
"I hope you don't mind, Mr. Will, these distinctions are generally not of concern to wizards now, except for a few pure-blood wizards with rigid heads."
"They call wizards whose parents are Muggles 'Mudbloods'. A very insulting term. ”
Although McGoth had known these names for a long time, and the Mudblood was only known to a few wizards, he still felt very uncomfortable when he was actually in this world.
"I really want to punch those wizards who don't know how to respect others."
"I think most wizards think the same way you do." Led. Parker grinned at McGoss.
Although some would like to ask Led. What type of wizard Parker was, but McGoth thought it might be privacy and didn't ask. After chatting for a while.
"Alright, Mr. Will, I'd love to talk to you again, but I think you might need to go back, it's not too early. Next time, you can go directly to Diagon Alley, it's a lot more interesting than here. Also, here's today's Daily Prophet, you can check it out, it's all about wizards, I think you'll be interested. ”
McGoth looked at the mechanical watch in his hand, it was already six o'clock, and found that Led. Parker stared at his watch curiously, then took it off and handed it to him.
"This is for you, sir, and I have benefited a lot today."
When Parker took the watch, McGoth picked up the newspaper on the table, although he had already known from the movie that the characters in the newspaper here would move, but when he saw it for the first time in reality, he was still very, very, very excited.
"I'll go first, Mr. Parker, goodbye."
"Goodbye, Mr. Will."
When McGoth opened the door of the bar and stood on the streets of London again, he felt like he was out of this world.
'Magic time, it's just amazing. ’
However, before he could sigh for a few seconds, a group of people rushed over and surrounded him.
"Young master, it's really good that you're okay, why did you suddenly disappear just now, the boss is crazy." Sauron exclaimed with joy.
"Rest assured, rest assured, I'm fine, where is my father now?"
"Well, he's at the police station right now, and he's asking the city's police to come out and find you."
"Well, okay, you call my father and tell him I'm okay."
"Okay, young master."
Sauron's phone was answered as soon as it went out.
"Boss, the young master is back...... I don't know...... Just like before...... No, it doesn't seem to have taken any damage...... Okay, okay, I got it. ”
After hanging up the phone, Sauron motioned to the people around him with his eyes, and several people surrounded Mygoth at once, afraid that he would disappear inexplicably again.
Knowing that there was magic here, and hearing from Parker, Magos could understand what they were doing, shrugged his shoulders and waited quietly for his father.
Although he would love to see the Daily Prophet, the poor lad was frightened by his disappearance when he saw Sauron staring into his eyes, and God knows what he would be scared out of if he saw the moving newspaper again.
Soon his father's car arrived, and he didn't need the driver to come out to open the door, so his father opened the door and walked out quickly, and when he saw McGoth who was surrounded by a group, his anxious expression suddenly eased, and he nodded to McGoth and returned to the car.
Magos stepped out of the 'encirclement' and got into the car to his father's side, and neither father nor son spoke. In this way, we reached the castle in silence.
When he got home, Mrs. Will trotted over and picked up McGoss, kissed him on the cheek, hugged Mr. Will again, took the hat and cane handed by Mr. Weir, and laughed.
"I didn't expect you to come back together, butler, prepare dinner......"
