Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 646
"...'Muggle', yes, that's how it is called. About three hundred years ago, the magic world of various countries signed an agreement called "International Secrets Law", and then wizards and ordinary people-also It's Muggles, the two are strictly distinguished... Oh, don't worry too much, you will learn these things in school in the future."
At about 1:00 in the afternoon, Maca and Alexander were walking on the way to Diagon Alley. While walking Maca, they were talking to Alexander about the magic world.
Of course, they were followed by Alexander's father.
In fact, the previous process of persuading Alexander's father could not be said to be easy.After all, this family has just lost a mother, and the child is only ten years old, so letting him go to a suspicious "magic school" to study, I am afraid that any Muggle parent will not be relieved.
However, the magical surprise displayed by Maca has long been beyond Mr. Wolfe's cognition.Even a magician who appears on TV can't do such a magical thing, right?
You know, it's in his own home!
But in order to use his own eyes to verify whether there are so-called "wizards" in this world, Mr. Wolf still actively asked to go to the magic world with them to take a look.Maca was not surprised by this, because even if the other party didn't mention it, he would also raise it here.
"...So, the magic school is the same as an ordinary school, do you have to have classes every day?" For a child, going to school can be fun, but it can also be full of constraints.
After hearing this, Maca, who was walking a little ahead, nodded casually.
"Maybe the answer will make you feel a little disappointed, but it is true." He said, "but you can rest assured that learning magic is a very interesting thing-I want you to promise that as long as you remain interested in it, it It will give you all kinds of joy! For example, you can learn how to fly on a broomstick, and then fly in the air with other students to play ball-we call this sport'Quidditch'."
"Oh! Can a wizard really fly on a broom? I really want to try it soon..." Alexander has been completely attracted by the various novelties flowing from the mouth of Maca. Look at him. , Maybe even the father who has been following behind has also forgotten.
But just as Maca was thinking this way, Alexander pursed his mouth, the excitement and anticipation on his face slowly dissipating in the afternoon sun.
"...You can even make people fly, how can you not let your mother come alive?"
Maca naturally heard Alexander's whisper.Not only him, but even Mr. Wolf, who was walking behind, apparently heard it, because his expression was also covered with gloom.
Maca thought for a while, and gently retracted the hand he was about to put on Alexander's shoulder.Because he knows that he has already said what he should say, and sometimes, redundant explanations and comforts will only backfire.
"We're there." After walking a short distance on the streets of London, Maca finally stopped first and pointed to a place on the side of the road. "This is the Broken Cauldron Bar, an entrance of Diagon Alley. It's in the backyard of the bar-there is a commercial street with only wizards, we have to buy the school supplies you need there.
Following Maca's account, Alexander looked in the direction he was pointing, and as expected, there was an inconspicuous small bar.Although Mr. Wolfe at the back also turned his head over there, he just moved his gaze in confusion, and it was obvious that he had found nothing.
Maca stepped back two steps, bumped his arm abruptly, and then smiled at Mr. Wolfe who turned around.
"Like I told Alexander just now," he said, "The wizards took the initiative to stay away from ordinary people, so naturally, we will set up magic in such a place to prevent you from seeing...Look again! You now I should be able to see it."
"……Oh!"
Mr. Wolf, who once again looked in the direction of the Broken Cauldron, was taken aback.
To be honest, Alexander's father was actually very tough. From the outside, it was impossible to tell that he was the kind of man who would lose his soul due to a severe blow.If you look at it this way, Alexander's appearance may be inherited from his father, but he is afraid that he is more inclined to the mother who bravely protected his loved ones during the explosion.
While Maca secretly thought to himself, he led Alexander to the narrow front door of the Broken Cauldron Bar.
This dilapidated bar is just as it was yesterday, still cramped and dark.If you want Maca to speak, let's not mention the appearance on the outside, at least the inside should be more clean and brighter, right?Otherwise, whenever Muggle parents pass by here, this first impression is enough to lower their ratings of the wizarding world and wizards.
"Oh-isn't this Mr. McLean? Why are you free today..." As soon as Maca walked in, a wizard with a bowler hat immediately caught a glimpse of him, "Oh, is it a new student? How are you? Guy!"
Maca vaguely remembers his name is Digo, the only characteristic of this guy is that he has a very loud voice.No, his voice attracted most of the eyes from the bar.
For a while, Maca couldn't do anything other than respond to their greetings one after another.
In fact, based on his current fame, let alone in the British magic world, even going abroad may be recognized by some wizards who pay attention to current affairs.Once high-profile, his face can no longer be low-profile in the future.
"Okay, everyone..." Maca smiled, "Thank you for your kind invitation, but I am working today, I won't stay with you for a drink, I'm sorry, sorry--"
While talking, he hurriedly led Alexander and Mr. Wolf through the bar, and walked quickly to the back door.He only breathed a sigh of relief when he reached the small patio in the backyard with no one.
"Sir, you seem to be famous here? I feel like they are...in..."
"...Flattering you."
The word Alexander wanted to say was added by his father.
"Alexander, I have to say, you have a keen sense," Maca shrugged. "What you say cheeky-yes, I have some achievements, you will know about it later. But don't think about me. It’s so amazing, you know, most things in this world cannot be succeeded by one person alone. In my achievements, there are also many other people's help... many, many."
When saying these words, Maca couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.
In fact, he has been trying to take those dangerous things to himself, but he hasn't done much after all.If he really does it, maybe everything now will be more perfect-even if he understands, there is no "perfection" in this world?
Standing in front of a certain wall of the patio, Maca threw a happy thought, and stretched out her hand in front of her eyes.
"Alexander, remember it clearly," he said. "Starting from the gap in the brick, count three pieces up, then two pieces to the side, and then tap it three times with a magic wand-I'll take You are going to buy a wand of your own."
After all, he clicked three points on the plain red brick with his finger.The next moment, the brick was retracted in a sudden, and the surrounding bricks also flipped aside, quickly revealing a large hole for people to pass through.
"Then... sir, what about your wand?" Alexander stared at the wall curiously and moved by himself, while asking what he cared most.
"Oh," Maca laughed, "because my wand is bigger—you know, sometimes it’s not so convenient if it’s too big."
As far as the reason is concerned, his answer is really a big truth, isn't it?
"Welcome to Diagon Alley!"
When Alexander was again attracted by the strangely dressed wizards on the street, Maca promptly said what the professor responsible for bringing the freshmen over would almost certainly say.
"The opposite is mainly the crucible shop, the crucible, the balance and the small medicine bottle. You will need them-it is written on the list, remember?" Maca said this, but instead took the father and son straight to Going forward, "But before that, we have to go to the Gringotts Wizarding Bank. The Wizarding Store does not charge pounds."
Diagon Alley is not big, so the shops are arranged very closely.Following Maca along the way, the various products with the characteristics of the magic world on both sides dazzled the father and son.
Until the fork in the road, the two people suddenly felt a moment of openness, because Gringotts finally came into their eyes.
To be honest, Gringotts is probably the most impressive place in Diagon Alley.This is a towering white building with two major gates of bronze and silver that have been polished gleamingly, with a solemn guard standing in front of the gate.
Yes, apart from the fact that the guard is a little shorter, there is really nothing to fault.
"That's the fairies, in fact, they are not much different from us, just--"
On the street outside the bronze door, Maca was introducing the father and son, but suddenly heard a very familiar call from the hall inside the door.
"Time is money my friend!"
"Oh..." When Maca heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little bit dumbfounded by the original self. "By the way, I suggest you open an account here-the account opening fee is quite cheap, and there is no charge for low deposits. Storage costs. In fact, those fairies wish everyone would deposit all their money in their vaults! Because then they can watch them every day!"
