Chapter Sixty-Six: Diagon Alley's First Encounter
"This is the Leaky Cauldron? Hagrid. Zheng Hao looked at a bunch of people who wanted to go to the mountain next to him and said, Nick is worthy of being Dumbledore's partner, and he completed Zheng Hao's admission procedures in only two days, but he himself is too busy, and he doesn't know if he knows that his deadline is approaching, and he is busy sorting out his things, and wants to leave some alchemy notes for future generations.
When Hagrid brought Harry Potter to pick up Zheng Hao, he gave Zheng Hao 10,000 gold Galleons very straightforwardly, which was still according to Zheng Hao's needs, originally he wanted to give 100,000 as pocket money. After giving the money, he gave Zheng Hao another book, saying that it was for Zheng Hao to pass the time when he was bored at Hogwarts, and that book wrote "Elemental Control Basics" in simplified Chinese, and judging by its obsolescence, it was at least six hundred years old. And, the most speechless thing is that the book is actually written in simplified characters.
Hagrid replied, "Yes, let's go in first!" Entering the Leaky Cauldron Bar, everyone has long been accustomed to Hagrid's hugeness, but when Hagrid said, "I'm here to take little Harry to do something", everyone's eyes were focused on Harry Potter, and Zheng Hao had long been separated from them by a certain distance, which can also be said to be Zheng Hao's way of self-hiding, who knows if the traverser that Zheng Hao thought existed would hide in the crowd now.
At this time, Professor Quirrell appeared in front of Harry wrapped in a ridiculous turban, looking excited and timid, but Zheng Hao would not underestimate this Professor Quirrell, in him, Zheng Hao obviously felt another weak and undetectable spiritual power, which should be Voldemort's.
Hagrid took Harry Potter to the backyard of the bar, only to see Hagrid tap it with his umbrella wand quite regularly, and his mental power fluctuated, and the walls of the backyard receded to both sides, revealing Diagon Alley behind. There aren't many wizards in Europe, but London has their biggest communication center, which makes the wizards in Diagon Alley feel bustling.
Hagrid wanted to take Harry to get the money, but Zheng Hao couldn't enter Gringotts' safe, so Zheng Hao planned to buy the things required on the academy notice first, naturally Zheng Hao didn't know that those stores had them, so he asked Hagrid to tell him about it. Hagrid thought that Zheng Hao was joking, but after saying it again, Zheng Hao was able to repeat it word for word, and was immediately surprised, and at the same time agreed to let Zheng Hao buy it alone.
In fact, Zheng Hao has a good memory, but Zheng Hao wrote it down with an external ear voice recorder. Zheng Hao strolled through Diagon Alley, buying the items he needed one by one, and sometimes he actually saw a few people who were out of place, looking at their clothes as if they were modern people returning to the beginning of the last century, fortunately, Zheng Hao was not so unusual, and before he came, he had already changed into a Hogwarts uniform.
In the end, Zheng Hao came to the Ollivanders wand shop, where the wands of many of the world's big names were bought, but Zheng Hao was not interested in these, what he was interested in was that people in this world seemed to have to pass through wands no matter how they used magic.
Entering the store, Ollivanders sat at the counter to sort out the wand that was not selected by the previous customer just now, Zheng Hao walked over, and Ollivander said, "You are a new student at Hogwarts?" Zheng Hao said: "Yes, listen to Hagrid, the wand here is the best." ”
Ollivander was not happy with Zheng Hao's compliment, it was his confidence in making wands, and said, "Stretch out the hand you are used to." Zheng Hao stretched out his right hand, and Ollivander compared the length of Zheng Hao's arm and looked at Zheng Hao's palm print. Then he went to the wand rummaged through it, and said, "Let me see which wand suits you, maybe this one." ”
Zheng Hao took it in his hand, waved it casually, and suddenly felt his will suddenly surge uncontrollably towards the wand, and then emitted a dazzling blue light, and then a wand cabinet was frozen. Ollivander frowned and said, "Your situation is unique, it seems that we need to change one." ”
Then Ollivander took out another one and said, "I thought this particular wand wouldn't have its owner, but maybe you could." Zheng Hao picked up the wand, and suddenly felt that his will was pouring into the wand uncontrollably again, and just when Zheng Hao thought that he was about to lose control again, suddenly his will calmed down. Ollivander said with some surprise: "I didn't expect it to really choose you." ”
Zheng Hao asked, "What's so special about this wand?" Ollivander said: "Legend has it that the Elder Wand uses the tail feathers of the Thestrals as the core of the wand, and this wand is made by me imitating the Elder Wand, the difference is that I do not use elderwood, but use willow wood as the staff wood, powerful and intelligent, but because it is made of the tail feathers of the Thestrals, only those who have witnessed death can use it, and the people I bought here are basically Hogwarts students, how can I witness death......"
Ollivander didn't seem to finish speaking, and then another person came in, who seemed to be a freshman of this year, with dark brown hair and a pair of blue eyes, except for a very flustered look, but a handsome white man. Zheng Hao originally hoped that Ollivander would finish, but Ollivander didn't seem to intend to continue.
Zheng Hao paid the thirteen gold galleons for the wand, then looked at the handsome little guy and said with a smile: "I'm Zheng Hao Lemay, this year's freshman, what about you?" The handsome little guy said, "I'm also a freshman, my name is James Bond, by the way, how long have you been here?" Ever seen Harry Potter? Zheng Hao pretended not to know and said, "You mean that the boy who didn't die, Harry Potter, why is he here too?" ”
