Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

Chapter 126 The Passerby Who Didn't Wait for the Owl in Harry Potter 3

After confirming that the two parents had accepted the fact that their children were about to enter the magical world, Professor McGonagall decided to give them a more intuitive demonstration. She raised her wand and tapped the teacup on the table, and the teacup instantly turned into a lively little squirrel, which jumped around on the table curiously, causing everyone to stare wide-eyed.

The adults were so surprised that they were almost speechless. They had never seen such a magical sight. Father Jiang stammered, "Is this... is this true? How is this possible?"

Professor McGonagall smiled and nodded. With a wave of her wand, the little squirrel turned back into a teacup and was quietly placed on the table. She explained, "This is magic. It is one of the skills we will learn at Hogwarts. Transfiguration is a profound magical art that can change the form of objects."

After proving the authenticity of magic, other questions were explained. It was confirmed that Hermione and Jiang Yue would go to Hogwarts, and Professor McGonagall would take the two families to Diagon Alley to buy the necessary items for school. So not long after, the group arrived at Charing Cross Road in London, and Professor McGonagall took them into a bar.

It was just in time for the start of the Hogwarts school term. People brought their little wizards here one after another. When they met Professor McGonagall and Jiang Yue, they greeted them warmly. At this time, the person who was cleaning the table also came over to greet Professor McGonagall: "Good morning, Professor McGonagall."

He looked at Jiang Yue and her group, especially at Jiang Yue and Hermione, and then asked, "Are both children new students at Hogwarts this year?"

"Good morning, Tom." Professor McGonagall smiled and replied to the hotel owner: "I brought two little wizards here to buy things for their admission."

A few people walked through the bar to the small patio. Professor McGonagall stood next to the trash can, pointed to the wall tiles above, and said to them: "Please remember this place. If you want to enter Diagon Alley, count three tiles on the top of the trash can and two tiles horizontally. Knock on them with your wand, and a door leading to Diagon Alley will open for you!"

After Professor McGonagall finished speaking, she tapped a brick on the wall with her wand, and then the bricks on the wall moved. At first, only a small hole appeared, and soon a wide passage appeared, and noisy voices came in the face.

“OMG! This is incredible.”

Diagon Alley was a long cobblestone street where you could find all sorts of weird and exciting shops selling all sorts of strange and quirky things, people in wizard robes came and went, bargaining, but today the biggest crowds were people bringing their little wizards to buy school supplies.

Professor McGonagall led the group through many shops and arrived at Gringotts. According to legend, Gringotts is the oldest building in Diagon Alley, and all the other shops were built around it. After entering Gringotts, both parents took out some pounds. Professor McGonagall had already understood the exchange rate, and the amount that could be exchanged each year was limited, so she informed them in advance.

She handed 500 pounds to the goblin and exchanged them for a total of 100 gold Galleons, half for each family, which was exactly . Then, under the guidance of Professor McGonagall, they bought school uniforms, scales, crucibles and other items. Finally, when she bought a pet, she wanted to buy two owls, but Hermione fell in love with Crookshanks in the corner (she had bought it in the third grade, but bought it in advance), so she bought an owl to deliver letters. I hope this little owl will not go on strike in the future, so that one owl can do the work of two owls.

Now the only thing left to buy was the most important wand. Professor McGonagall took them on the way to Ollivander's Wand Shop. Jiang Yue saw that the family was tired carrying a bunch of things, and they couldn't buy the traceless space bag now, so she pointed at the items in the adults' hands, and then they floated up and ran behind Jiang Yue.

Professor McGonagall was a little shocked when she saw this scene. Many fifth-year students might not be able to control their magic like this. Jiang Yue looked at Professor McGonagall and explained, "After I awakened my magic, I didn't know how to use it. I could only practice how to control it. This is the result of a long period of training."

Professor McGonagall looked calm and thought to herself that she hoped the Sorting Hat would put Jiang Yue into Gryffindor. With Jiang Yue, the house cup was basically under control. The group ignored the looks from others and soon arrived at the only wand shop in Diagon Alley.

Ollivander's Wand Shop is located on the south side of Diagon Alley. It is a wand shop run by the Ollivander family. It is recognized as the best wand shop in the UK and among the best in the world. The owner of the shop is the eldest family member Garrick Ollivander, commonly known as Mr. Ollivander, who is said to remember every wand he has sold.

The peeling gold sign above the door read: "Olivanders, Makers of Fine Wands since 382 BC".

After entering the shop, the interior was very small, with nothing but a bench. Thousands of narrow boxes containing wands were almost stacked up to the ceiling.

"Good afternoon, and welcome, Professor McGonagall."

"Fir and dragon heartstring, nine and one-half inches, very hard."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Ollivander. Your memory is as good as ever."

As the family was looking around the store, Ollivander also saw Jiang Yue and Hermione. After nodding to the parents, Ollivander said, "These are the little wizards who are enrolled this year, right? Who will find their wand first?"

"Me! I'll go first!" Hermione next to her raised her hand, motioning her to go first, and Jiang Yue stretched out her hand, motioning her to go first.

"Okay, kid, which arm do you usually use to wave your wand?" Ollivander picked up a ruler from the side.

"Right hand, sir!" Hermione stretched out her arm to facilitate the measurement. Ollivander then measured Hermione's arm length, forearm length, height, head circumference and other dimensions, while at the same time promoting his wand concept.

"...many people think that it is the wizard who chooses the wand, but it turns out the opposite is true. It is the wand that chooses the wizard all the time."

After measuring the data, Ollivander found a box, opened it, took out the wand and handed it to Hermione: "Try this one, plane tree unicorn tail hair, 12 inches long. The plane tree wand will show super learning and adaptability. I think this wand will suit you very well."

Unfortunately, they didn't match. After Ollivander put the wand away, he took out a box and opened it to reveal a 14-inch wand made of vine wood with a dragon's heart tendon core: "This one will definitely suit you. Come and try it!"

After Hermione got the wand, everyone in the store felt a breeze blowing through them. Mr. Ollivander laughed, "Great! The owners of vine wood wands are almost always those who are 'seeking a greater goal'. I knew you two would be a good match."
