"Dad, we want to go to Diagon Alley to buy some books and items we need for school. Can you go with us?" Luo Youwei walked up to Rosen with her two little sisters and asked.

"of course can."

Rosen smiled and said, "But how do you want to get there? Drive, teleport, or drop it?"

"What is teleportation?" Laura asked curiously, "And delivery."

"Teleportation means you can get to your destination in a flash from here." Luo Youwei explained, and then said, "As for delivery, you definitely don't want to know."

"Mr. Luo, I think it would be better for us to drive there." Hermione Granger said, "I think Miss Crawford would also like to see the scenery along the way, such as the Leaky Cauldron, and how to enter Diagon Alley."

Rosen looked at Laura, and when he saw her nod, he immediately said, “Okay, then let’s drive this time.”

Laura used to ride her bicycle through the streets of London delivering takeout, and she knew the roads like the back of her hand.

But she was still surprised when she saw Rosen park the car on Charing Cross Road and then lead the three of them straight to an open space between a bookstore and a record store.

Because she clearly remembered that it was actually a cafe and had existed for a long time.

"Vivian, this..." Laura was especially shocked when she was held by Luo Youwei's hand and took two steps forward, and then saw an old and dilapidated bar suddenly appear in front of her.

"Even in the same place, there are always some differences." Luo Youwei said: "Don't forget, this is a magical world. It is too easy to hide yourself from the sight of ordinary people."

"Is there such a place over there?" Laura asked expectantly.

"At least I didn't notice it." Luo Youwei saw her mood suddenly become depressed, and immediately comforted her: "But it may not be impossible. Maybe I just don't have enough magic power, so I didn't notice it."

"Hey, Rosen, long time no see. What would you like to drink today?" Tom greeted Rosen enthusiastically when he saw him.

"The children are about to go back to school and need some good stuff, so I brought them here to have a look." Rosen casually ordered a beer, and ordered some drinks for Luo Youwei and the others, then asked in a low voice, "Are there any interesting news or valuable things recently?"

"I heard that a huge explosion occurred on the streets of London not long ago. It seems that three groups of magicians were fighting each other..."

Tom immediately began to tell Rosen all the news he had heard.

Of course, Rosen didn't listen for free. In addition to drinking, he would also pay for some valuable information.

This is normal, in a capitalist world, nothing is free.

It's a pity that the intelligence Tom collected this time was of little value. If Rosen hadn't wanted to maintain this line so that he could get more useful intelligence next time, he wouldn't even be willing to give him a few silver Sickles. (Note)

As for good stuff like dragon eggs, there weren't any this time either.

Rosen became more and more dissatisfied. He looked at Tom and said, "Did I take my daughter out for a summer vacation? Did the people in the entire magical world also start to sleep?"

"The market is really not very prosperous recently." Tom was not very impatient in front of his big customer. He smiled and said, "Maybe you can go to Knockturn Alley. There are always some strange little things there. Maybe you will be interested in them." (Note 2)

"I hope you won't let me down again next time I come." Rosen nodded to Tom and then asked the children to leave.

When Laura saw how the entrance to Diagon Alley was opened, she couldn't help but be stunned. And when she saw the scene inside Diagon Alley, she couldn't help looking around like many people who came here for the first time.

"Weiwei, take them to buy the necessary items." Rosen said, "Dad has something to do, so I'm going to leave for a while."

"Can I know where you are going?" Luo Youwei asked curiously.

"What place is adjacent to Diagon Alley, but is full of good and bad people and is despised by most wizards?" Rosen asked instead of answering.

"Diagon Alley." When the know-it-all lady next to her heard the question, she subconsciously raised her hand to answer.

"Wow."

Hermione's voice was a little louder, which immediately attracted the attention of the wizards coming and going around.

Everyone stared at Hermione as if they were looking at something dirty like a fly or a bedbug.

This gave Hermione the creeps.

"Ladies and gentlemen, relax, it's just a joke." Rosen said lightly.

So the wizards turned their heads and no one looked at Hermione again.

"Vivian, what is Knockturn Alley that Hermione just mentioned?" Laura asked curiously.

"That's the black market in the wizarding world." Luo Youwei explained, "It's not only full of all kinds of black magic shops, but also sells many things that can't be bought through regular channels outside, most of which are illegal."

"Don't look at the contemptuous looks on those people's faces just now." Rosen touched Hermione's fluffy hair and comforted her with a smile; "Maybe they are just pretending. Maybe more than half of them have been to Knockturn Alley to buy things."

"No way?" Hermione said in disbelief.

"Maybe more than that." Rosen said with a smile: "Gentlemen, it's normal."

Luo Youwei couldn't help but chuckle after hearing her father's mocking words, which were almost like him saying those magicians were just like the so-called gentlemen in the UK who were all hypocritical and said one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.

Hermione was still young and didn't know what Luo Youwei was laughing at.

However, Laura was actually older after all, and she vaguely felt that there was something else behind Rosen's words, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Dad, can I go with you to take a look?" Luo Youwei said.

"Mr. Luo, I also want to go and see it." Hermione was also curious.

"Can I go?" Laura asked.

"Okay, if you want to go, go ahead." Rosen looked at the three pairs of pleading eyes and could only compromise helplessly, saying, "But you must not come here alone without an adult leading you. Do you hear me?"

"heard it."

Rosen immediately led the three of them into a narrow and dark alley, and after a few turns they came to another alley that looked a bit similar to Diagon Alley at first glance, but had a significantly different style.

Compared to the bustling Diagon Alley, this place seemed deserted. Although there were also people passing by in the alley, almost all of them were in a hurry, with their heads down or wearing scarves, and in short, they dared not show their faces.

Because he was with three girls, it was difficult for Rosen to enter some stores that sold contraband. Otherwise, all kinds of poisonous insects, snakes, ants and the like would be better.

It would be a sin if you came across a place selling withered human heads, hands, feet or other organs, and scared a little girl like Hermione who was only 12 years old.

Just as Rosen took them around for a quick tour and was about to leave, he heard Hermione exclaim, "I think I saw Harry Potter."

Note: The currency in the Harry Potter world is gold Galleons, silver Sickles and copper Knuts. 1 Galleon is equal to 17 Sickles, or 493 Knuts.

Note 2: Koncktum Alley has many translations. I won’t comment on whether they are right or wrong. The ones I have seen include Bloody Alley and Nightwalk Alley.
