"Hurry up, honey, there are still a lot of things to buy."
After breakfast, he went to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies. Irene kept urging him in front of the fireplace. She wore an earring on her earlobe, and a small silver cartoon white crane pendant hung on it. That was Aileen.
A gift from Ivy on Lin's birthday.
"Here we come." Ivy, fully dressed, ran downstairs. Irene took out a porcelain bowl filled with gray and black dust.
"Avi, do you remember what I told you?"
"Stand in the fireplace, grab a handful of Floo powder, clearly state the name of your destination, and then sprinkle the Floo powder."
"Very good! If you are in a hurry, you can just let it go and drill it later, but this will have to wait until you become proficient. I don't want you to make a mistake the first time. You must know that the hospital has——-" every year.
"Mom, can we go?" Ivy quickly interrupted her
"Okay, let's leave right away"
"Mom, is this Diagon Alley?"
"No, let's go to the Leaky Cauldron first and let you see more of it."
Leaky Cauldron
Green flames suddenly burst out of the fireplace next to the bar. Then, Ivy and Irene walked out of it.
"arrive"
Ivey looked around and saw that there were a lot of people here early in the morning. In the center of the bar was a long table, which was full of people. They were all disheveled, and some were wearing robes to cover their faces.
The table was filled with all kinds of wine glasses. Four or five people were arguing together. They were holding wine glasses, salivating and trying to persuade others. There were bars on both sides of the table. Most of them were friends in groups, sitting together and talking softly.
comminicate.
There are many chandeliers hanging on the roof, exuding dim yellow candlelight. The surrounding walls are covered with paintings, landscapes, portraits, and many kinds of animals. There are stairs in the northeast corner leading to the guest rooms upstairs. The whole bar looks dirty.
It's dirty, small, and filled with all sorts of unpleasant smells.
"Hi, Tom" followed Eileen to the bar
"Mrs. Irene! I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still so brilliant. What would you like to drink?"
"Thank you, but I'm not here to drink today. Ivy has to go to Hogwarts to go to school. Take him to buy some things."
"Oh! Is this Mr. Shafiq? Please forgive my rudeness, welcome to the Leaky Cauldron." He looked very respectful.
"Tom, he is still young, don't influence him"
"Sorry - ma'am"
"Avi, follow me, the entrance is over here." Irene walked towards the patio in the courtyard.
"Nice to meet you Mr. Tom" Ivy said goodbye to the boss and followed him.
"For the wall tiles behind the trash can, count three tiles up - count two tiles across the way, and that's where it is."
Erin stood in front of a trash can and tapped the brick three times with her wand. The brick turned into a vortex and continued to expand, and finally the wall turned into an alleyway entrance.
Ivey watched it with great interest. It was quite interesting to see this kind of scene in reality.
"How is it? It's amazing. I was stunned for a long time when I came here for the first time. In fact, this is a passage specially reserved for Muggle wizards, but your grandmother also took me in through this way. I think this is a good passage.
Of course we must inherit our tradition.”
"Come on, let's take a look at what we need - clothes, gloves, cloak, "Basic Spell"...it hasn't changed much~" Ignoring Erin's mumbling, Ivy observed.
After four weeks, he was very interested in this classic scene in the movie.
Looking around: Not to mention the familiar Daily Prophet and Ollivander's Wand Shop. There are also many movies like Partridge's Crucible Shop, Eela Owl Shop, Magical Zoo, etc.
The shop was only briefly glimpsed and not described much.
The streets are crowded with people, wearing all kinds of robes, some even wearing pointed hats. In front of some shops, owls are shouting and selling their products. Some little kids are lying on the broom shop, and the pet shop is looking in curiously.
.
When everything was presented in front of him in an all-round and three-dimensional way, even as an adult, he still felt like he was in a dream.
"Avi? Ivy, are you listening?"
"Of course, Mom"
"Let's go to Gringotts to get money first."
Mother and son walked towards Gringotts
"Did you see that the crooked and hip-stretching building in the middle is Gringotts?"
"It's cool, isn't it?"
Erin curled her lips in displeasure, expressing disdain for her son's aesthetics. The two walked to the door. The door to Gringotts was a shiny bronze door. As they approached, there were goblins in scarlet and gold uniforms standing guard at the door.
bow to them
"Welcome, two distinguished guests"
Continuing further in, there is a second door with a silver surface and words engraved on it.
"It probably means to warn everyone not to try to steal things," Erin explained as Ivy looked at her.
Entering the marble hall, about a hundred goblins were sitting behind the counter, scribbling entries in the large ledger.
"Withdraw money"
Erin found a free goblin at random and didn't waste any time. She secretly told Ivy that these goblins were ugly and difficult to get along with.
"Did you bring the key?"
Eileen took out a shiny golden key
"Well, Crooked Hook! Take them to the underground vault No. 666."
They walked through the hall, and in front of them was a narrow stone corridor, with burning torches on both sides illuminating the road. Further ahead, there was a steep descent, connected by a railway. A small cart was driving in the distance.
come over.
"I hate riding this!" Erin complained to her son, "This is much more exciting than a roller coaster!" The three of them got on the car and started moving forward.
This cart didn't need to be driven at all. The frame made a harsh friction sound and rushed along the winding railway. After turning countless turns, it also crossed an underground lake and passed through a field of boiling high-temperature lava before stopping in front of a door.
.
"I told you before, I hate this car!" Erin complained after getting out of the car. Her face could no longer be seen, and her originally dazzling blond hair had dimmed and became tangled around her face like vines.
"Ah——!" The knot was tied so tightly that while combing her hair, Irene accidentally pulled her scalp and screamed out.
"Do you want me to help you?" Ivey looked at her helplessly.
"Very good!"
Ivey took the comb and straightened her mother's hair.
"Let's go, take the money!" Erin, who had regained her luster, raised her arms, turned and walked towards the door.
"Key" hook gestures to Irene
It took the key and opened the lock, and when it opened a crack, light flashed out. When the door was completely opened, countless rays of golden light suddenly reflected out, illuminating the entire underground. What came into view was a mountain peak, a golden mountain peak!
Gold galleons nearly 3 meters high are piled together, and at the foot of the mountain is a pile of gold eggs the size of footballs. Surrounding the peak are several large packages of gemstones and jewelry, more than ten boxes of gold bricks, and various gold utensils. See two more.
Even Ivey felt like he was going blind.
"No, it's too dazzling! Mom, take the money and leave!" Ivey shouted, covering his eyes.
The eyeballs of the crooked hook next to him were about to pop out. He greedily glanced at each gold galleon and kept rubbing it with his hands. Looking at his movements, Ivey seemed to be able to smell a burnt smell.
Erin took out a small lucky bag and threw it on the ground. The moment it hit the ground, it turned into a large linen bag.
"Avi, don't be stunned, shovel money in there!" Irene took two golden shovels from the side and handed them to him.
Ivey stared at the shining shovel blankly. He knew that his family was rich, but wasn't this a little too inhumane? Look at the goblin next to him, oh, his hands were burnt black from rubbing, and there was a trace of smoke coming out.
"Hey, my friend, do you need help?" Looking at Ivey's daze, Crouching Hook said proactively
"Your hands are not suitable for this." Ignoring him, Ivey turned around and started working.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, clack," the sound of coins colliding is no longer beautiful. In previous lives, many people's ideal was to be able to count money until their hands cramped. I can only say that Ivey has achieved it. And not only his hands, but also his waist.
I also started smoking.
"Do you know how much a shovelful of gold galleons weighs?" Ivy gasped, not forgetting to tease the goblin.
"Sir, it's true! You are Crouching Gou's best friend, let me help you! I'm not afraid of getting tired, I can die here!" Crouching Gou grabbed the door frame with both hands, stretched his neck, and tried his best to
The ground hooks inward.
"That's too tiring, Crooked Hook. I can't let my friend suffer like this."
Erin was unwilling to take action. Every time Ivy looked at her, her emerald eyes would immediately become moist and sparkle with tears, as if she would cry as long as Ivy opened his mouth.
