Chapter 2: Diagon Alley and the Giant

On July 30, there was a knock on the door of Wick's house.

When the door was opened, it was a tall woman.

Dark green robes, unsmiling countenance with square glasses.

You don't have to think about it to know that this image is the vice-principal who loves Quidditch.

Minerva McGonagall, Hogwarts Professor, Head of Gryffindor.

McGonagall nodded politely, then asked John, who was already stunned.

"Minerva McGonagall, John Wick, may I come in?"

The first time he saw the characters in the book, John came back to his senses with a big smile on his face and asked Professor McGonagall to come in.

The Wick couple, who didn't believe in their son, were also stunned, looked at each other, and wondered if the children had invited someone to play them.

The skeptical couple sat on the couch, and Professor McGonagall sat on the other side.

This time, the protagonist John has become a maid serving tea and water.

After taking his seat, Watson was the first to speak, "You're the Hogwarts teacher?" ”

His expression and words all expressed his doubts.

McGonagall didn't get angry when she saw many such parents, and corrected the other party's words with dignity, saying, "It's Hogwarts, the professor to be exact." ”

The couple looked at John together, and couldn't help muttering in their hearts, didn't their son lie to himself?

John looked innocent, and he said it was true.

Watson didn't trust a person so easily, changed his sitting posture and leaned forward slightly, he gestured with his two hands, and said in a questioning tone:

"So my son is a wizard? You're going to peel off the dead man's nails and nail the black cat to someone else's doorpost? ”

Such arrogant and questioning words were really not very friendly, and even McGonagall frowned and said solemnly:

"Mr. Wick, only a dark wizard would peel off a dead man's nails, Hogwarts is a real school of witchcraft and wizardry."

"I'm sorry."

Watson also reacted that his words were a bit excessive, but it was still impossible to believe it like this.

McGonagall knew that it would not be easy for a Muggle family to accept a wizard, so she drew her wand and waved it.

Watson's teacup turned into a rat and climbed up his sleeve, causing Watson to scream.

John was also seeing magic for the first time, and it was an extremely high-end transfiguration, so he was inevitably excited.

After this battle, Watson believed what John said.

No matter how powerful a magician is, it is impossible to turn the cup in his hand into a mouse across a tea table.

After sending McGonagall off that day, Watson became a curious baby;

"John, turn the cup into a mouse."

"John, let the broom sweep the floor on its own."

"John, can you fly on a broomstick?"

"John ......"

John was annoyed and finally came up with a killer trick to get Mrs. Wick to kick Watson out of the room.

...

July 31.

John also had to prepare for school.

"This should be it."

Charing Crossway.

The dirty, cramped bar doesn't fit in with the big bookstores and record stores on either side.

However, it is such a conspicuous place that passers-by completely ignore it.

Muggle Expulsion Charm.

Those who have seen Harry Potter must be familiar with this place, this is where Harry's dream begins, and it is also the only way to go through Diagon Alley.

This filthy cramped bar also has a resounding name, the Leaky Cauldron Bar.

Before entering the bar, the beautiful Mrs. Wick expressed her concern: "John, you are still a child, can you enter the bar?" ”

John was generous and said that he would not.

After all, it's hard to like this kind of environment, to be honest.

After entering the Leaky Cauldron Bar, the smell of sweat and the smell of sour beer blended into a strange taste, which made the family of three frown.

I thought it was sloppy enough on the outside, but I didn't expect it to be even more scary inside.

John was even a little curious about how the wizards could put up with the smell, especially one guy with a scarf wrapped around his head.

There are 100 flavors in it, and that person contributes at least 60.

The balding boss came out of the bar and knew what was going on when he saw the dress of the family of three.

"Come on, you've made at least a few fewer Nats by staying here."

The boss, who regarded money as his life, angrily got out of the way of the bar, and his words were dissatisfied with the three of them, which made Mrs. Wick think that the wizard was rude.

Led by the boss, a family of three came to the entrance of Diagon Alley.

The owner of the Leaky Cauldron Bar demonstrated how to use the entrance, "Count three pieces on top of the trash can, and then two pieces horizontally. ”

As he knocked on the wall, the doorless wall parted, revealing the path that belonged to the wizarding world.

"This is, magic ......"

John was shocked, as if the scene of two worlds appeared in front of him.

Even if I recall it in the future, it will be so fresh in my memory.

"Sorry, borrowed it." A rugged voice sounded in the back.

The huge figure was at least three meters tall.

A super-large mole fur coat that smelled of a beast or a bath in a long time.

Next to the giant, a little boy looks like he has been skinny from years of malnutrition.

The wide clothes made him look thin, and he had a pair of round glasses on his face, and under the lenses were those beautiful green eyes.

Seeing the lightning-shaped scar under the other party's hair, John immediately recognized the identity of the little boy.

In my previous life, I was also a person who had seen Harry Potter, although more than ten years have passed, it would be strange if such a distinct combination could not be recognized.

The boy who never died.

"Hagrid and Harry."

John muttered, and his parents were speechless in astonishment.

Turning a cup into a rat was magical enough, but Hagrid's apparently non-human height scared the two of them.

Looking at the combination of one big and one small getting farther and farther away, John also withdrew his heart.

As much as he wanted to get close to the two of them, it was clearly not a good time.

He still has a ton of things to buy, but he needs to go to Gringotts to redeem them before he can buy them.

Skip Gringotts' confusing exchange rates.

The Wick family's income is not low.

Watson Wick is the manager of a business, and Mrs. Wick runs a beauty shop.

A total of £2,000 was spent for 400 gold Galleons.

John recalled the greedy and cunning expression of the goblin on the counter, and always felt like he was being cheated on.

Anyway, there is a principal for this purchase.

John ignored Watson's thoughts, and he was going to hide the Golden Galleon to show off to his friends.

The family walked around Diagon Alley and saw the dragon liver, and the foodie gene of the Great Heavenly Dynasty was ready to move, and there was an urge to buy it and taste it.

But for the Wicks, it's a bunch of bloody livers that can't be avoided.

...

Blotted Bookstore.

Watson's hand was so cheap that his finger was bitten off by "The Book of Monsters".

John followed the list and bought a few books about the wizarding world, with the thick Hogwarts History of Hogwarts making him look away with difficulty.

...

Lady Morkin's robes specialty store.

Lady Morkin is a stocky witch, but her laugh is infectious.

She was very happy with John, this child was a natural hanger, and every piece of clothing was suitable for wearing.

After he was gone, Harry arrived and saw the spoiled child Malfoy.

...

Crucible shop.

John tried to convince Watson not to buy a fully automatic mixing crucible and collect it, which would make a mess of the house.

But Watson thought that this thing might be used as a saucepan, and when he heard that it was going to be put in the kitchen, Mrs. Wick suppressed it forcefully, and finally Watson dispelled the idea.

...

Pharmacy.

The family looked at the strange things that were soaked in the liquid in the jar, and Mrs. Wick was so frightened that she covered her precious son's eyes.

Watson looked disgusted and wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit, feeling that the bacon he had eaten for breakfast was wriggling in his stomach and burrowing out.

The last one left the pharmacy as if they had fled.
