Chapter 22: Welcome to Diagon Alley
"Of the four houses, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, you can't join Slytherin because they're all purebloods, and obviously you're not."
When Hermione heard this, she didn't show a disappointed expression, anyway, there are four houses, isn't there still three!
Seeing this, Qin Hao smiled and continued: "As for the other three academies, you all have the opportunity to join, I can see that you are very brave, Gryffindor legend says that only wizards with courage can join. The wizards of Ravenclawy are all smart people, and as for Hufflepuff, they are all honest and loyal. ”
"You can make a lot of friends there." Qin Hao said.
Hermione nodded, an expectant expression.
Qin Hao continued: "In addition, Hogwarts is a seven-year school, so you will study there for seven years, and after you graduate, you may still be able to choose to stay in the school and become a professor. ”
Hermione's eyes lit up with little stars.
Looking at her with a smile, Qin Hao suddenly changed his words and said, "But if your grades are too poor, you may also find a job as a wizard after graduation, and some wizards have become very poor because of this." ”
"I must study hard!" Hermione said with a determined expression.
"Well, I'm sure Hermione will become a great witch in the future." Qin Hao smiled and pinched Hermione's small nose and said, "If you talk about Hogwarts, basically the first thing that comes to mind is their current headmaster, a legendary wizard, Albus. Dumbledore! ”
Qin Hao doesn't comment much on Dumbledore, but Qin Hao still agrees and appreciates his achievements.
Haven't seen Dumbledore in person, though. However, as for the wizard who protected Harry that he saw in the Little Huijin District yesterday, Qin Hao could also relatively judge Dumbledore's strength.
Very strong!
It's far more powerful than what is depicted in the movie, after all, it's the real world, and it's really hard to say how strong or weak magic is something like magic.
Judging from the descriptions of magic in some novels alone, the essence of magic is the law. Magic is a very shallow way of using the law, you don't need to understand a certain law to learn a certain department of magic, I have to admit that Qin Hao admires the person who created magic.
The magic of the HP world is not as gorgeous as described in those domestic fantasy novels, in this era, the magic of the elemental system seems to have disappeared into the dust of history, and the rest is mostly more complicated, such as the magic of the transformation system has a transformation spell, and the magic of the undead system has the Avada life spell. Dark magic, such as the Drill Heart Spell, and so on.
And the elemental system, it seems that the flame is a bit similar to the fire-type magic summoning flames.
Compared with the large-scale magic in those novels that sweep away thousands of troops at every turn, the magic in the HP world is mostly a single attack, and the deadliest death curse is also a single attack.
In fact, they are not magicians, but wizards.
If we go back to the roots, then the essence of the two is the same. But after starting from the starting point, there is a certain divergence between the two on the way forward. Wizards are gradually moving in the other direction.
Qin Hao had never seen a magician, let alone studied magic, so it was difficult to evaluate whether the wizard's magic was good or the magician's magic was good.
But he was really interested in the magic of wizards, or he wouldn't have come to England.
In the living room, Qin Hao explained to Hermione some basic information about Hogwarts that he knew.
He didn't know anything about wizards' magic. I can't tell the principle of the name and so on, and it's useless to say it, so it's better not to say it.
Anyway, it won't be long before Hermione will be able to access these on her own, and she won't need to bother with it at all.
Unconsciously. It's time for dinner, and lunch at the Granger family is about to begin.
……
For the next few days, except for the first day, when Mr. and Mrs. Granger accompanied him to some places in London, only Hermione, the little tour guide, accompanied him for the rest of the day.
After all, the Granger couple still have to go to work, and they are not like Qin Hao, who have a lot of money to spend without working.
After a few days in London, it was the 23rd of August.
On this day, a special guest came to Hermione's house.
This is a male wizard who dresses strangely, but wizards seem to be dressed quite strangely, so in the wizarding world, this guy's dress should be relatively normal.
The wizard had been sent by Hogwarts to lead Muggle-born wizards like Hermione to Diagon Alley to buy supplies for the new term.
Of course, the Granger family doesn't have the Wizards' Gold Galleon currency, so they have to go to the Wizard's Bank to exchange money first.
It just so happened that Qin Hao was also at Granger's house, so he proposed the idea of going to see it together.
The wizard gave him a quirked look with a strange expression.
"May I ask this gentleman, who are you?" He used honorifics to speak, obviously feeling the terrible sense of oppression from Qin Hao.
The one in front of you is a strong man!
For the strong, the necessary respect is a must.
"Qin Hao, from the United States." Qin Hao smiled and said, "I'll go with you, you won't mind, right?" ”
The wizard shook his head and said 'no' with a smile.
Even if he minded, he didn't dare to say it.
Qin Hao felt that these so-called wizards were too bold, and one Voldemort scared them so much that they didn't even dare to say their names... Of course, when Voldemort was there, it was because of magic, as if in a world with immortals, if you talk about a certain immortal and call out his name, the other person will feel it.
In fact, when Voldemort was in power, he cast a spell on his name, and as soon as someone said his name, he would sense the other person, and if the other party was slandering him, then he would be greeted with his wrath.
Therefore, wizards of that period were accustomed to using mysterious people to describe Voldemort, even though many people now think that Voldemort has long since died, but they still dare not say his name directly.
That's why Qin Hao felt that they were timid.
Although Voldemort is indeed not dead, but at this time, let alone the trouble of going to the door to find those wizards, it is too late to hide!
Follow the wizard. Qin Hao and Hermione's family, who looked excited and nervous, got into the car.
The car drove slowly through the streets of London, everything around them was familiar to the Grangers, until they saw a familiar street, but the wizard led them towards the middle of the two buildings.
The Granger couple looked puzzled, but they didn't say anything when they thought about the magic of these wizards.
Until the wizard pulled out a wand and waved it. They only felt that it was dark, and when they regained their gaze, they found themselves in a bar that only existed in TV movies.
How so?
This bar is so old-fashioned that it doesn't look like a product of this era.
Compared with the Granger couple with a surprised face, Qin Hao didn't look surprised. He had seen it in the Cauldron Bar before, not because he had magical powers, but because he had the fundamental 'huge spiritual power' of magical powers. If you only talk about the amount of spiritual power, Qin Hao is at least a hundred times higher than the wizard next to him.
However, his use of spiritual power was different from that of a wizard, and he took the route of refining the air flow in the East. On their side, spiritual power has another name, and the way it is used is also very different.
Qin Hao's spiritual power is still normal now, if he breaks through the realm of the Yuan Shen Dao and truly condenses his Yuan Shen, the spiritual power at that time can be called truly huge.
Compared to the present, there is no comparison.
Although little Hermione next to her walked into the Leaky Cauldron Bar by herself, she was obviously very surprised and curious about the magical scene in front of her. A pair of smart eyes constantly looked at the people in the bar.
"Come with me." The wizard said.
Usually when he comes to the Leaky Cauldron Bar, he will definitely have a drink. But he's here to do an errand at Hogwarts today, so he can't sit down and have a drink.
With the Granger family with him, the wizard headed for the back alley of the bar.
Soon, they were in front of a wall in the back alley of the Leaky Cauldron.
At this point, the wizard stopped, took out his wand, and tapped it on a few bricks on the wall.
Qin Hao saw it in his eyes and wrote it all down.
Then. The walls in front of them automatically parted as if they were building blocks, and the Granger family couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
In a moment, an arch appeared in the wall, and the wizard said 'Follow' and led the Granger family inside.
Diagon Alley.
Qin Hao looked at the surrounding shops curiously. He seriously suspected that if it weren't for the support of magic, the houses of these shops would have collapsed long ago, which was even more unsettling than the tofu scum project.
But after all, it's been a building for an unknown number of years, and it's already a credit to magic that it has been able to stand until now.
Walking here, Qin Hao felt as if he had once again shuttled to another world, the people here were completely different from the people outside, they had a way of life close to the last century, and everything here made Qin Hao's concept of time blurred.
"Magical place!" Qin Haoxin said.
Gringotts, the bank of the wizarding world.
After the Granger family exchanged pounds for some gold galleons, they followed the wizard to some shops to buy Hermione's things for the new semester.
Seriously, there are a lot of things to buy, mainly freshmen, and they have to buy everything.
A lot of money was spent, and the things I bought were packed in boxes, and although the boxes looked very old, it was better than just holding a bunch of crucibles or something.
After shopping, the wizard led them out of Diagon Alley.
Returning to the outside world again, after the male witch politely said goodbye to Qin Hao, he left in a different shape.
Seeing this hand, Qin Hao's eyes lit up.
This shapeshifting is similar to teleportation, but there is still a difference, and Qin Hao doesn't know where the specific difference is, but he will know soon.
In Diagon Alley, Qin Hao also bought a lot of things.
But he bought all the books, almost every kind of book in the entire Blotted bookstore.
He was going to bring these books back to read, so that he could have a clearer understanding of wizards, similar to the magic of shapeshifting, which he felt would be helpful to him. (To be continued......)
