Chapter 140 Diagon Alley
morning.
Just as the sky was bright, little Harry woke up, but he was unwilling to open his eyes, for fear that the dream he had finally woven out would be shattered like a soap bubble when he opened his eyes.
A giant named Hagrid, birthday gifts, magic school... Well, isn't this the magnificent dream unique to children of his age? So, this kind of fairy tale-like development should not be, and it must not be associated with the cupboard at home.
He thought so until the sound of a slap in the door awakened him completely.
...
...
"I hate magic, I hate these wizards..."
A cabin on the reef, two floors.
Seeing that the stormy weather passed, the giant named Hagrid was about to take little Harry out. Aunt Penny could no longer control her emotions. She sucked her nose hard, and her voice started to cry in a choked voice.
"I hate that magic world because of it, I lost my sister..."
"And now, I'm going to lose her child again..."
Mr. Dursley hugged her tightly, and did not speak.
Behind them was Dudley, a fat son with a pig tail and sleeping in the bed.
...
...
West End, Westminster, Charing Cross.
Between a large bookstore and a record store, there is a small and broken hotel with a bar.
——Broken cauldron bar.
It was strange that Pei Chen had reason to suspect that although the building in this bar and hotel looked dilapidated, it had magical power. Because when he saw this for the first time, he subconsciously ignored the existence of this bar. If he hadn't been keen to find that it was a little inconsistent, he might have been deceived.
After a period of observation, he also confirmed that this broken bar is indeed only visible to people or creatures with extraordinary power. Although it was only a few minutes, he was able to confirm that ordinary people on the street - no matter which one is good, he had never paid attention to this place for a second.
The size of the giant Hager really challenges the size of the bar's door opening. He stuck there and squeezed for a while before successfully entering.
During this period, Pei Chen had already emerged from Harry's backpack and turned into a human form again. With the help of Hagrid's body, no one could find out - yes, yes, he had completely completed the transformation of his blood last night, turning into a small snake and swimming down the calmer sea... Not only did he hear a lot of information that was more useful to him, but he also took the opportunity to get into Harry's backpack and followed them here at dawn.
For Dumbledore, Hager has no shortage of loyalty, but it would be funny to expect this big guy to be so keen...
As for Little Harry? An eleven-year-old child who just discovered that his fate finally had a turning point, was so excited that he couldn't find any more to him.
Pei Chen pretended to be a guest following these two people, and easily followed them and walked into the broken pot bar.
This action did not arouse much suspicion from other people. After all, it is impossible for a real ordinary person to discover the existence of the Broken Cauldron Bar. At most, it is a pity that a very rare wizard from the mysterious country of the East is really an eye-opener. He has only heard of something in legends in the past...
It's also funny. These guys seem to have only the concept of "wizard" in their minds. In their cognition, practitioners from any country are called wizards directly. After Pei Chen corrected it a few times, he found that it had no effect at all, so he stopped talking.
Originally, an oriental practitioner suddenly came to the Broken Cauldron Bar, which should be a very eye-catching thing, but unfortunately, today's protagonist is not Pei Chen, but Little Harry-
The boy who survived the disaster.
After discovering the real identity of the little boy, the bar was silent at first, and all the guests and the boss's eyes were cast, shocked or surprised. Then everyone came to their senses and then took the same action - constantly stepped forward and shook hands with the at a loss, and introduced themselves enthusiastically.
Little Harry didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only passively shake hands with people one by one. There was even a weird guy who always ran over and asked to shake hands with him again. The giant Hagrid kept laughing, and seemed to be happy to see such a scene.
Pei Chen stood quietly by the side and watched. On the one hand, he was happy and leisurely, but on the other hand, he was shocked that such a child actually had such a great reputation. He seemed to have caught a big fish by taking action at will?
Listening to their noisy speech, it seems that the reason why this little guy has such great prestige is because he is the only one who survived from a great devil?
Seeing that they didn't even dare to say that person's name, Pei Chen immediately concluded that this so-called mysterious man is likely to be the ultimate devil in this scene! The power of one person can make the entire magic world tremble. No matter how you look at it, it meets the conditions for becoming the final boss!!
So, this little Harry is the protagonist?
While thinking about this, Pei Chen responded with a friendly smile to those who cast curious eyes at him, knowing that they were wondering about their identity as an oriental person. This should be a pure Western fantasy scene, and it is not surprising that they have such a reaction. Fortunately, their eyes were just friendly in curiosity and there was no discrimination. Otherwise, Pei Chen would not be able to guarantee that he would be so kind.
Then, his eyes changed slightly, his eyebrows raised, and he looked at a young wizard who was walking forward to get close to Little Harry. He was a guy who was stuttering, with a pale face that looked so much, and he also wrapped his head with cloth, just like an Indian Asan. Although he looked a little weird, Pei Chen became alert in an instant, and his eyes shot towards Asan's headscarf like cold electricity.
This guy’s headscarf is definitely weird!
"Hello, professor, I didn't see you just now... Harry, this is Professor Quirrell, the teacher of the black magic defense technique at Hogwarts Magic School." Hagrid greeted the Indian San youth enthusiastically and introduced to Harry. After Harry reacted, he immediately politely extended his hand to the professor to shake hands.
Then, Professor Quirrell's expression was suffocated. Although he quickly recovered, he was still caught by a pair of red eyes. The guy was obviously afraid of something. He just glanced at the palm of little Harry stretched out and did not reach out to hold it immediately. Instead, hesitated for a while and then reached out to grab Harry's hand.
Seeing this scene, Pei Chen frowned tightly and stared at him, looking calm and wondering what was going on.
Professor Quirrell's face suddenly changed drastically. Before he finished speaking, he turned his head in fear and walked out, and soon disappeared on the prosperous street outside the bar.
Only a bunch of onlookers who were confused about the inside were left.
"Okay, Harry, we have to go on the road. There are still many things to prepare!" Hagrid looked at the old-fashioned wall clock on the wall and suddenly said nervously. Maybe he felt that time was a little anxious, so he hurriedly pulled the little boy to say goodbye to everyone, then walked through the bar and walked towards the back door of the bar. During this process, the troubled guy named Cordoli even came over and asked to shake his hands again, which attracted the big guy's glaring eyes.
Pei Chen looked at the wall calmly, then pretended to be in a hurry, smiled kindly at everyone, and immediately followed behind the two of them in a hurry. The very natural behavior was not only reasonable, but also naturally let others imagine something without saying anything. It was simply the level of a movie emperor.
Behind the bar is a small patio with only walls on all sides, with nothing but a trash can and some weeds.
"Look, I said everything. You are actually very famous. Even the professors at Hogwarts Magic School want... Oh, sorry, sir, please ask first?" Hagrid blinked at Little Harry and said happily. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Pei Chen standing behind them with a smile on his face. He felt that he was blocking someone else's way, so he quickly got out of the way.
Although he tried his best to express his kindness, no matter who seems to be a big guy, he is talking badly.
"No..." Pei Chen maintained impeccable etiquette and patience, looked at the wall without any trace, and said with a smile, "This child is the first time he has come into contact with this world? It would be better for you to lead him!"
Mad! I want to invite you first, but I don’t know anything, and I’ll be exposed as soon as I try my best...
"Is that so much thank you..." Hagrid was surprised and hurried to the wall in front of him. He really wanted to be the first person to lead little Harry into the magic world.
"Look, remember, three upwards, two horizontally... That's right, it's this brick. You have to remember that you have to tap with a magic wand to work." After Haig counted the bricks clearly, his strange umbrella knocked on the wall a few times.
Originally, Pei Chen was still concentrating on the bricks that Haig looked for and the location of the taps. When he heard that he had to use a magic wand to knock, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and give up his useless efforts.
The knocked bricks kept shaking and began to move. A small hole appeared in the middle, and then the surrounding bricks were also moving, overlapping, and the hole opening became bigger and bigger. In about ten seconds, a spacious archway appeared in front of them.
At the end of the archway, it seems to lead to a winding and invisible street, paved with cobblestones.
“Welcome to Diagon Alley, Harry.”
Seeing Little Harry surprised, Hager couldn't help laughing, and grinned at the Oriental man behind him, expressing his gratitude and kindness.
Although Pei Chen was also a little shocked, his face was silent at all, and he looked very knowledgeable.
The three of them walked towards the archway. After walking into it for a while, Harry couldn't help but look back, and the archway behind him suddenly became narrower - it was turning back to its original solid wall, constantly approaching them. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but speed up his pace. However, when he saw the calm look of the oriental wizard who was one or two steps behind him and Hagrid, he couldn't help but let go of his tense mood.
Walking out of the archway, the wall behind him also returned to its original state.
Diagon Alley, or the magic world, was finally lifted a mysterious veil in front of Pei Chen's eyes.
A long street made of pebbles, with countless strange shops opening on both sides of the street. Looking at the prosperous street in front of you, Pei Chen couldn't help but smile.
