Chapter 40: Hagrid, the Honest Man
"Hagrid? You are Rubeus. Hagrid, right? ”
With a warm smile, Li Kuo walked towards this huge figure!
Well, that's right!
This person who appeared in front of him was an important supporting character in Harry Potter, the guide of Harry Potter, the half-blood giant, Rubeus Hagrid!
Although it was the first time I saw him, the thick beard, oversized figure, and iconic mole skin coat made Li Kuan recognize him at a glance!
Because of this, Li Kuan immediately thought of a way to enter the cauldron bar!
Follow Hagrid in!
In the event that he can't get in on his own, it's a good idea to sneak in with Hagrid!
"You are?"
Looking at the little dot in front of him, Hagrid looked puzzled.
"I'm Lee!"
Li Kuan said solemnly, "My grandfather is Smith, who was a classmate of you forty years ago, he is a student of Hufflepuff, and he told me about you!" ”
"He said you were a big man who was honest and kind, but it's a pity that something like that happened! Back then, he always believed that you were wronged, but there was no evidence! ”
"Smith?"
Hagrid was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and promised again and again, "Oh, oh, so you're Smith's grandson!" ”
In fact, he didn't even remember who Smith was!
Forty years!
In such a long time, even if it is a classmate, if you don't have a special impression or frequent contact, it is completely impossible to have a memory!
Not to mention not an academy!
But why did he show such a familiar look?
Very simple!
Because of Smith.
This surname is a big surname in England!
Basically, every English person will have one or two friends or colleagues or classmates with the surname Smith.
Even if you don't, you can still touch this surname in your life.
So such a surname was thrown, although it was said by Li Kuan, but Hagrid still felt familiar!
And in this case, coupled with what Li Kuan said back then, the thing that had always made him haunted and led to his expulsion from Hogwarts, he naturally thought that the so-called Smith was really his classmate!
If he wasn't a classmate, how could he feel familiar, and how would he know about that incident forty years ago?
You know, forty years have passed, and there are very few things that still remember that incident!
Therefore, although he didn't remember such a classmate at all, he still showed that he was very familiar!
And all of this is in Li Kuan's calculations!
"How is your grandfather doing? What are you doing? Hagrid asked subconsciously.
How's it going?
What are you doing?
I don't know?
Where did Li Kuan, who was originally fooled, say this!
But it doesn't matter!
It's nothing more than flickering and flickering!
"My grandfather is in good health now, he is traveling around the world, saying that he wants to see the customs of various places!" Li Kuan casually made an excuse!
He wasn't afraid that this excuse would be debunked by Hagrid!
Why?
Because Hagrid is honest!
The reason why Li Kuan chose Hagrid was not only because he was familiar with him and that he was the first wizard Li Kuan had ever met, but also because he was honest...
Uh, it's stupid, it's so foolish!
If it were Snape or Professor McGonagall, even if Li Kuan recognized it, he wouldn't want to mix it up with them.
He wouldn't even have the idea of saying hello!
After all, with their IQ and character, Li Kuan's lies can be easily exposed!
At that time, it is relatively light to modify the memory with a forgetting spell, in case a flash of the mind comes and directly extracts his memory... Then it's a big deal!
All his secrets will be exposed!
Well, to put it bluntly, Li Kuan is now bullying honest people!
"Oh, I see!"
Hagrid applauded, "It's a good idea to see the local customs!" ”
Just as Li Kuan thought, Hagrid didn't care too much, and was fooled by him at once!
"By the way, are you going to Diagon Alley now?" Li Kuan asked with a smile.
"That's right!" Hagrid nodded!
"That's right, I'm going too, let's go together!" A gleam flashed in Li Kuan's eyes, and he invited with a smile.
"No problem! I'm looking to buy some ingredients to make rock crust cakes! Hagrid did not doubt that he had him, and agreed to Li Kuan's invitation with a smile.
With that, he walked towards the Leaky Cauldron!
Seeing this, Li Kuan followed, and quietly grabbed the hem of Hagrid's clothes with his hand!
This!
Although there was still a trace of the thought that he didn't want the past, because Li Kuan kept grabbing the hem of Hagrid's clothes, he entered the cauldron bar without danger!
And after entering the cauldron bar, the scene in the bar immediately caught Li Kuan's eyes!
There is only one bar counter in the dim and simple bar, and there are a few tables scattered in the shadow of the corner, which gives Li Kuan the feeling of being in a medieval tavern!
Maybe it's because of the early morning, there aren't many customers in the bar now, just less than five, wearing wizard robes and sitting at different tables, making the whole bar seem a little empty!
"Is this the Leaky Cauldron? It's pretty much the same as in the movie! Li Kuan looked at the scene in the bar and sighed secretly in his heart.
What's the scene right now?
For Li Kuan, that is fantasy shining into reality!
"Hey, Hagrid, long time no see, do you want a drink?" There was a wizard who greeted Hagrid.
"No, I'm going to Diagon Alley to buy something and drink it next time!" Hagrid replied with a smile.
"Alright then!" The wizard nodded, then asked, "Who's the little guy behind you?" ”
Hearing this, Li Kuan's heart rose to his throat!
"My former classmate's grandson, how is it, cute!" Hagrid asked with a smile.
"It's cute!" The wizard smiled and said nothing.
Seeing this, Li Kuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief!
It's finally gone!
"Alright, without further ado, I'm going to Diagon Alley!" Hagrid said, and didn't stay long, skillfully led Li Kuan around the bar, and came to a small patio with red brick walls on all sides and only a garbage can!
"Little one, you know how to get in here, right?" Hagrid didn't rush to open it, but asked Li Kuan jokingly.
He asked this not because he doubted Li Kuan's identity, but out of a kind of test of the elders for the juniors!
To put it bluntly, just like a normal person meeting his three-year-old nephews and nieces, he will often ask questions that make adults feel retarded to test them.
"Know! Count three pieces up the trash can, then two more horizontally! Li Kuan responded calmly.
In order to find the Leaky Cauldron Bar, Li Kuan, under the influence of a spirit of up to 0.83, turned out all the Harry Potter information in his memory.
Among them is the way Diagon Alley opens.
"Yes, little one!" Hagrid complimented, then took out an umbrella and pointed at the bricks above the trash can, "Count three up, then two horizontally!" ”
Next second!
"Boom!"
With the sound of the mechanism operating, the red brick and stone wall in front of Li Kuan rolled and shrank back to both sides, opening a way for Hagrid and Li Kuan!
And looking out from this road, a group of wizards wearing wizard robes were coming and going on the street, and the endless fantastic scene came into Li Kuan's eyes at once!
"This is Diagon Alley, this is the wizard's world!" Li Kuan looked at the many wizards wearing wizard robes on the street, and sighed secretly.
