"Godot"

Mrs. Lovegood calls out the name of the house-elf, and Godot appears.

It was neatly dressed, with large eyes and pointed, slender ears. It's not cute, but it's not weird either.

"We need to get out of here and go to Diagon Alley. Godot, you stay and watch the family. ”

"Good master." Godot screamed, as if he had received a supreme command.

"So, do you take the passage over, or do you want the phantom to move to Diagon Alley?"

Mrs. Lovegood solicited the opinion of her children.

"It's better to phantom to disfigure, compared to the feeling of slight discomfort. Passing by that noisy bar made me even more uncomfortable. ”

Li Lin replied like this, in fact, this is just his excuse, he is worried about meeting Harry Potter and them, obviously after Hagrid received Harry Potter, Dumbledore's eyes were around Harry, if Li Lin and Harry Potter rashly met, it was very likely that he would be caught strong, and under the arrangement of various coincidences, he was put together into three small teams, and then followed Harry Potter and encountered Voldemort's direct target.

Luna naturally nodded happily at her brother's proposal. Mrs. Lovegood followed the advice of the siblings. The Phantom Shapeshifts to Diagon Alley.

Now, it's noon.

Dazzling sunlight casts on a stack of pots outside the door of the nearest store.

Those are piled together on top of the crucibles. There was a sign hanging.

The sign reads, copper - brass - tin plated - silver cauldron, complete models, automatic stirring - foldable.

Is this an advertisement in the wizarding world? Li Lin looked at something similar to an advertising sign. complained silently in his heart.

"I can't even move a word, what kind of magic is it."

Diagon Alley is crowded with people, and wizards who are rarely seen here gather in piles, either wearing robes or wearing ordinary clothes with strange styles.

On both sides of the road are a variety of shops. Mrs. Lovegood led the brother and sister forward, and after walking a distance, she stopped, and she looked at Li Lin and asked.

"Solai, do you need to buy an owl?"

Li Lin looked at the shop in front of him, and the sign in front of the store read: Bella Owl Store - Gray Forest Owl, Horned Owl, Grass Owl, Brown Owl, Snow Owl.

Li Lin shook his head and explained.

"Hogwarts has communal owls, and we have owls at home, so we don't need them for the time being."

A little further ahead, there is a shop that sells flying broomsticks, and the windows of the store are glass, and the windows are filled with various styles of flying broomsticks. This attracted a lot of young boys who were about the same age as Li Lin to watch and whisper.

The rest of the shop sells all sorts of quirky things, even some modern goods. For example, telescopes. There are also silver knives that claim to be able to kill vampires.

Li Lin had a look on his face I believe you are a ghost, because there is a line of Chinese characters under this knife, which is produced in Taiwan.

I guess it's stainless steel.

"Mother, let's go to Gringotts and get some money first, I want to buy more books."

At the same time, Li Lin looked at Luna, whose eyes were shining, and continued to speak.

"I'm going to buy some gifts for Luna, after all, I'm going to Hogwarts and I won't have time to hang out with her in the future."

Mrs. Lovegood nodded, took Luna's hand, and walked on.

Not long after, the Federal Reserve of the British wizarding world, Gringotts, arrived. It was a tall snow-white building in front of it, much higher than the surrounding shops, like a giant, standing among a group of dwarfs.

The main entrance was next to the glowing bronze gate, and in front of it stood a figure in a red and gold-trimmed uniform, it was a fairy.

Walk up the white stone steps to the gate

The goblins bowed to them, speaking of which, in Li Lin's aesthetics, house-elves and goblins were very similar, except that they were closer to humans. Connecting the house-elves, who have a completely different magic system and strong strength from humans. But it is full of servility.

Li Lin once again felt that the water in the magic world was very deep.

Moving on, there was another door, silver, engraved with the same words as the previous bronze door.

"Come in, stranger, but be careful

What will happen to insatiable greed,

Blindly taking, not getting for nothing,

will be punished most severely,

So if you want to take it from our underground vault,

A wealth that never belonged to you,

Thou hast been warned, O thief,

Beware that it is not a treasure that is invited, but a bad retribution. ”

Li Lin, who had been to Gringotts several times, although he already knew that there was no third golden door after this door, he couldn't help but think about it every time he came, and he would take another golden door.

Passing through the silver gate, the two elves bowed and ushered Mrs. Lovegood and her children into a tall marble hall. About a hundred or so elves sat on high stools behind a long row of counters, some weighing coins with copper scales, others examining gems with eyepieces, and hastily registering them in large ledgers. There were countless doors in the hall, leading to different places, and many elves pointed bows to attract people in and out of these doors.

Looking at the quite spectacular scene in front of him, Li Lin couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Just from the flow of Gringotts. There are definitely more than outsiders in the entire British wizarding world, otherwise how could there be so many goblins working here, does every British wizard have to come to Gringotts once a day?

Li Lin walked over to an idle goblin, took out a golden key from his pocket, and said.

"I'm going to Sole Lovegood's vault."

The elf took the key and looked at it carefully. And then he spoke.

"Yes, sir, and ladies, please come with me"

Li Lin turned his head to look at his mother and said.

"Mother, Luna, let's go alone, the carts in the underground passage here are not friendly at all."

So Mrs. Lovegood and Luna stayed in the hall, while Li Lin followed the goblin out of one of the doors.

Walk through a narrow stone corridor illuminated by burning torches. The stone corridor is a steep downhill slope with a small railway underneath. Then, a small cart slammed down the railroad tracks towards them, and when they got into the car, it was a crazy trip comparable to a roller coaster. Shuttling through various intersections, turning left and right without turning. The small clattering cart was running wildly. The icy air whistled by, and finally, the cart stopped in front of a small door in the corridor

Li Lin got out of the car, and the goblin stepped forward to unlock the door. Then, it's like a golden light with special effects added to the animation.

There are piles of gold gallons inside, because the bad exchange rate gives Li Lin a headache, so Li Lin's monthly manuscript fee is to buy gifts for Luna with change, and the gold galleons are all stored in the treasury, yes, in Li Lin's eyes, except for gold galleons, they all belong to change.

From the pocket of his coat pulled out a palm-sized leather pouch with the Traceless Stretching Charm and the Levitation Charm applied to it.

Li Lin put it in his hand and shook it twice, it became as big as half of Li Lin's body, and then he filled it with money, there was no magic wand, no spell, it could only be like moving bricks, and put it in the leather pocket one by one, which really made Li Lin, who usually stayed at home, tired for a while.

Estimating that he had enough, Li Lin shook the leather pocket, the pocket changed back to a shrunken appearance, put the leather bag into his clothes, and took the car all the way back to the hall.

Then Mrs. Lovegood and her children went to Mrs. Morkin's robes store.

Lady Morkin was a stocky witch with a smile and a purple dress.

"Are you buying a Hogwarts uniform, my dear?"

Mrs. Lovegood obviously knew the steps, and she took the list from Li Lin's hand and went to the next door to order a book.

Mrs. Morkin asked Li Lin to stand on the footstool, put on a robe for Li Lin, and took a pin to find out the length that suited him.

Then there was the waiting, when Mrs. Morkin said, "It's tried, darling." "When this sentence is written.

Mrs. Lovegood had bought everything else on her list, except for her wand.

As for the books in the Blotted Bookstore, the textbooks have been bought, and the other books, the clerks are packing, which are similar to Li Lin's clothes, the leather bag you are wearing, shrinking, it can be carried in your hand, similar to a briefcase, but it can hold a 300-square-meter library.

After getting the robes, as well as the clothes. I'm going to buy a wand.

Speaking of the whole of the United Kingdom, only Ollivanders sells wands, to be precise, through formal channels. It stands to reason that there must be someone in the underground black market who is illegally trading wands.

Wand, this is something Li Lin has been looking forward to for 11 years.

He could hardly help but begin to fantasize about which wand would work for me.

Could it be those magic wands with hidden properties and abilities comparable to those of the Elder Wand?

How many wands do I have to try to find the right one for me?

Then, with fantasies, I walked to a small and broken store, where the gold-lettered sign on the door had peeled off.

I saw that it read: Ollivander: A well-made wand since 382 BC.

"Well, I started making sticks in B.C., which is really a long history."

Li Lin complained in his heart.

The glass of the window is covered with a thick layer of dust. Looking through the dust, a faded purple cushion sits alone with a wand.

Walking into the store, a jingling bell rang at the back of the store.

Although the house is not big, this place is in Li Lin's heart, and all the weapons placed in it are legendary. Look at the thousands of narrow cartons that reach almost to the ceiling. Feel the dust and silence here.

Li Lin felt that this place was probably the British version of the Zangjing Pavilion. The kind that lives with sweeping monks.

"Good afternoon."

An old man stood in front of them, his bright eyes contrasting with the dim shop, and it seemed even more difficult.

"Hello." Li Lin said hello.

"Oh my God," the old man apparently noticed Luna beside Li Lin, as well as Mrs. Lovegood.

"You're Pandora's child."

Mrs. Lovegood stepped forward to greet the old man.

"Hello, Mr. Ollivander."

Mr. Ollivander nodded in response, and at the same time said to Li Lin in a reminiscent tone.

"Your mother came here to buy her first wand, and it was like yesterday, eleven inches long, made of sycamore, with a phoenix-tail feather core. It's a good wand. ”

Mr. Ollivander walked up to Li Lin.

"So what are you suitable for, little sir?"

He pulled out a long tape measure with silver scales from his pocket.

"Which arm do you use to make your wand?"

"Right hand." Li Lin raised his right arm and said.

"Okay."

Ollivander measured Li Lin, first from the shoulders to the fingertips, then from the wrists to the elbows, shoulders to the floor, knees to the armpits, and finally the circumference of the head.

This operation dazzled Li Lin and caught him off guard.

It always feels like pretending to be mysterious marketing. Li Lin thought so.

And Ollivanders was still measuring it, and said, "Every Ollivanders wand has a super magical substance, and this is the essence of it, little Mr. Lovegood." We used unicorn fur, phoenix tail feathers, and dragon nerves. Every Ollivanders wand is unique, as no two unicorns, dragons, or phoenixes are exactly the same. Of course, if you use a wand that is supposed to belong to another wizard, you will never have such a good effect. ”

With that, Oligood let go, and the tape measure began to operate automatically.

Ollivander walked around the shelves, busily picking out some long boxes to move down.

"Alright." He said, when he said this. The tape measure also slipped to the ground and rolled into a ball.

"Well, then, Mr. Lovegood, try this one. Thirteen and a half inches long. Oak, snake nerves, steady and full of life. ”

Li Lin had just taken the wand, and the wand was taken back by Ollivanders.

"Strange, this one doesn't work."

Ollivander muttered to himself.

He rummaged for a while longer, and found another one.

"Willow wood and snake nerves do. Ten and a quarter of an inch long. Yes, very flexible. The sensitivity is very strong. You give it a try. ”

Li Lin took the wand, and he waved it tentatively. But nothing happened.

Mr. Ollivander immediately snatched his wand from his hand.

"Maple, phoenix feathers. Nine inches long. Good flexibility, try it......"

Li Lin was about to try, but before he could raise it, the wand was taken away by Ollivander again.

Then came the long journey of the test rods, when the tried wand boxes were stacked up to the ceiling.

Ollivander had to admit his defeat. With his storefront, there was not even a wand suitable for Li Lin.

The wand chooses the master, and every wand he has here is rejecting Li Lin.

Eventually, Mr. Ollivander Seven Galleons sold Li Lin a wand.

This was after the theory of wand selection had been accepted, and a rebel in their family believed that wands should be adapted to people, and made wands according to this philosophy.

This wand is truly dusty for hundreds of years.
