Snakes in Hogwarts

The exact time of the completion of Diagon Alley has long been untestable, but as early as the 16th century, it had become an important gathering place for London and even British wizards.

According to the mainstream of the magic world, the oldest building in Diagon Alley is the Gringotts Wizarding Bank.

Because almost all buildings are built around this bank.

But perhaps the Ollivander Wand Shop is the oldest building.

Because as early as the fourth century BC, when the Romans first came to London, Ollivander’s ancestors followed the Romans to England and began to sell and make magic wands.

As for Quirrell's peeping in the hall just now, Andros didn't know.

After putting on contact lenses, Andros also lost the ability to see things in the dark while covering those eyes that were different from ordinary people.

It is fair.

If it were placed before, he would definitely find Quilo hidden in the dark as soon as he entered the tavern.

However, even knowing that Quirrell is there, Andros will not feel anything. This year can be said to be the safest year in the Harry Potter plot. As long as you don’t do anything, you want to come to Quirrell, or say The person behind Quirrell's head wouldn't pay attention to himself.

He wants to do Harry Potter, what's up with me Andros Lobach!

Not to mention that at Hogwarts, the savior and old Deng Bao, before the strength is not enough, it is better not to think about the excitement of the original work.

It's okay to attract Voldemort's attention. If Lao Deng gave him a key observation, it would be a big loss!

For future development, Andros naturally has his own plan.In his plan, the first few years at Hogwarts will be spent as low-key as possible.

Not to mention these, after passing through a dark promenade, Andros and his team came to the backyard of the Broken Cauldron Bar.

This is an empty open-air courtyard. Except for the weeds on the floor and a trash can against the wall, there is nothing in the courtyard.

"Professor McGonagall, is this here? Did we come to the wrong place?" Hermione asked hesitantly, and Andros next to him tried to put on a very confused expression.

"That's right, it's here. The backyard of the Broken Cauldron Bar is the entrance to Diagon Alley. It's just that the entrance is hidden by the wizards with magic." Professor McGonagall explained with a smile.

"I will tell you how to enter Diagon Alley now. You have to see clearly, and you will come by yourself from now on." Under the leadership of Professor McGonagall, Andros and his team came to the trash can next to the wall. .

"Starting from this trash can, count three pieces up, then two pieces in the horizontal, and then tap the brick lightly with your magic wand."

While talking, Professor McGonagall drew her magic wand from his arms.

(Nine and one-half inch, cold wood, fire dragon's heart nerve, undoubtedly, this magic wand is very good at performing powerful transformations.)

"But Professor McGonagall, we don't have a magic wand yet."

"Don't worry, Miss Granger. You will have it in a while, and we will buy a wand suitable for you two in Diagon Alley. Okay, now look carefully." Professor McGonagall raised the wand , Knocked gently on that special brick.

Something unscientific happened.

In the astonished gaze of the Grangers, the originally plain wall began to change rapidly after Professor McGonagall struck it.

Blocks of bricks started to retreat quickly on both sides, and the trash can split into two halves and retracted into the walls on both sides. At first, only a small hole was exposed on the wall. Then, the small hole grew bigger and bigger. An arch of six or seven meters high has gradually formed.

At the same time, behind the arch, there was gradually the sound of people walking and the sound of bustling shouts.

That's something that no Muggle store has ever sold.

"Dragon Liver! One ounce of sixteen silvers!"

What you see is an alley paved with cobblestones. On both sides of the road are all kinds of crooked shops. Perhaps because of the approaching school, there are many wizards on the street. The crowds coming and going make this original The wide alleys seem a bit crowded.

Most of them wore black robes, some with pointed wizard hats on their heads, and there were many small shops outside the doors of shops on both sides of the road. There were all kinds of strange things on their carts. Things are being sold loudly by pedestrians who want to come and go.

"Cool!" Hermione was completely dazzled. She stood at the door of a bookstore and then couldn't sell it anymore.

"Well, we need to go to Gringotts to exchange some wizard's currency, otherwise we can't buy anything, Miss Granger." Professor McGonagall said patiently.

"Okay." Hermione pursed her lips, and finally left reluctantly.

It's a shame to go to Ravenclaw for such a person who loves to learn.

Seeing this scene, Andros began to figure it out.

As for the Grangers, they don't have any thoughts to take care of their daughters. On the way, these two big-hearted parents are also bewitched by the strange shops of the magical world like Hermione.

If it weren't for Professor McGonagall's watching, I'm afraid they would have been lost!

And, for some reason, they seemed to be particularly interested in the pharmacy here. Standing at the door of the pharmacy, the Grangers and his wife tiptoed looking inside, listening to the cries coming from inside.

"...Fresh dragon liver, sixteen silver xicos an ounce! That's a dragon whip, one hundred and eighty golden gallons, what? It's cheaper? You know there is only one male dragon. Root this thing! If you don't buy it, just stay aside! Don't mess with me!"

"Would you like some Longbao? Will it work? Merlin will come again! This is the best tonic!"

???

So what do they want to buy?

I think too much.

Andros thought with evil taste.

He himself looked like he had seen the world, but he followed Professor McGonagall unhurriedly, and from time to time to see if there was anything he was interested in, not because of the items placed in a shop window. Stop and stay.

When he saw something of interest, Andros would silently write down the name of the shop.

Anyway, they are all in London, and there will be opportunities to come again in the future.

"Professor McGonagall, you just said Gringotts, what's that place?" Hermione asked Professor McGonagall by the hand like a curious baby. After so much effort, the little witch has been like a sparrow. I asked Professor McGonagall a lot of questions.

"That is the only wizarding bank in the UK. Before purchasing school supplies, we need to go there to exchange for some magical coins. The pound sterling cannot be circulated here."

"What do the wizard's coins look like! I just heard them say Yinxi Ke."

"Yes, there are also Jin Jialong and Bronze Nat, seventeen silver xi can be combined with one Jialong, twenty-nine Nat and one si Ke." Professor McGonagall said concisely about the magical world. Currency.

"Sounds so troublesome." Andros couldn't help but spit out the idiot conversion unit of the wizarding world.

Which wizard with the wrong brain type came up with such an unscientific base?

Isn’t the mathematics of wizards terrible?

"Actually, it's okay, just wait until you get used to the magical world."

Under the leadership of Professor McGonagall, the group soon came to the end of this alley. After passing a shop filled with the viscera of fishy unknown creatures, they finally came to the gate of Gringotts .

This is a towering white marble building, which is quite conspicuous among the low shops in Diagon Alley.

"Here we are, this is Gringotts Wizarding Bank, a bank run by fairies."
