5. Return to the bar



Before Magos entered the bar, he looked back at his father. Seeing the way he rubbed his eyes, he probably believed it, which made him hush. Although Mr. Parker said that he could see it, he didn't know that he was talking to a person. Will ordinary people still be able to see it if they come together? If not, he has already thought about telling his father to try alone.Fortunately, he could still see and come in, which made him relax a lot.

Pushing open the door of the bar, noisy sounds suddenly filled the area around him. Magos grinned, here I go again...

Although the sound in the bar was inexplicably quiet the moment he came in, it soon became louder again. It seemed that the old wizard named Parker was right. The silence in the moment when he came last time was indeed because of the first time he came here. s reason.

Magos smiled politely and nodded at the wizards who looked at him with curious eyes, listening to what they were saying.The last time he came, he was too surprised to hear what they were communicating. This time he had to pay more attention.However, Magos didn't understand most of the topics, and some were talking about magic spells, potions and the like, which was even more confusing. Only when he heard a wizard telling about his adventure, he stopped and took it seriously. listen.

The wizard said that he had been to the tropical rain forests of America, and encountered some extremely dangerous magical animals during his adventure, and almost failed to come back. Seeing that Magos was very interested, he handed him a The souvenir I brought back was probably a fang from the upper jaw of a poisonous snake.

"Be careful not to get stung, there's still venom in it."

Magos instinctively felt that this should be a good thing, so he carefully wrapped it in cloth and put it in a bag inside his clothes.

"Thank you, sir, this is the first magic gift I have received." Magos said happily to the wizard.

"My name is Magos Will. Sir, can you tell me your name? You must be a very powerful wizard."

"Ha, it's nothing. Many wizards can do it. You can call me Valentine, Valentine Lance, a wizard who likes adventure."

"Thank you again for your gift, Mr. Lance."

Valentin Lance waved his hand to indicate it was nothing, got up and left the bar.

Later, I occasionally heard some terms mentioning the savior, Harry Potter, etc.

As he approached the bar, Magos heard a wizard saying that there had been a lot of Muggles hanging around here recently, as if they were looking for something, and one or two accidentally saw something about magic. The Ministry of Magic was not allowed to deal with them. A forgetting spell was cast.If Magos guessed correctly, it should be the person sent by his father.

While thinking about it, he slowly approached the bar.

"Hello, Mr. Tom, I'm here again."

"Oh, it's the little wizard who came last time. Would you like something to drink?"

"Uh, no need." Magos said with embarrassment as he thought about how he was still penniless. Although his family could be said to be extremely wealthy in the Muggle world, here he was really poor. nothing.

"Is Mr. Parker here?"

"No, although he often comes to my place, obviously he didn't come today." Tom said, stroking his head like a shriveled walnut.

"Then can I ask you a question?" Magos asked nervously.

"Oh, of course, what do you want to ask?"

"I would like to ask, can magic gold coins be exchanged for British pounds?" Magos looked at Tom hopefully, although he knew that it was possible in the novel, but what if it was not possible in reality.

Tom grinned happily,

"You asked the right person. I think most wizards won't know this if you ask them. They don't even know what a pound is, but because I do business here, I happen to know."

"Can I redeem it?" McGoss asked nervously, not expecting this character who only appeared a few times in the novel to know.

"Of course you can change it, but..."

"But what?" Magos asked hastily.

"The proportion will be relatively high." Although Tom doesn't know much about the Muggle world, he often has wizards born in Muggle families come here, so he is relatively familiar with money in the Muggle world.In the past, little wizards often came over to ask about the exchange ratio, but after I told them, they all showed surprised expressions. It seemed that the ratio was still relatively high, at least many Muggle families couldn't afford it.Can only continue to attend school with sponsorship from the school.

"How high?" McGoss was almost anxious. He was not short of money, so Tom should tell him quickly.

"About one galleung is equivalent to five Muggle pounds. If you really want to exchange it, you can go to the wizarding bank 'Gringotts'!" Seeing Magos's anxious expression, Tom finished his sentence at once.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Tom." Just when Magos was about to ask how to get to Diagon Alley, he suddenly remembered that in the Harry Potter novels, Muggles seemed to be able to go to Diagon Alley, at least Hermione Her parents went over to exchange Galleons for her.Thinking of this, Magos continued to ask.

"Well, Mr. Tom, I have another question."

"Ask, Mr. Will."

"That's right, you know my parents are both Muggles. I was wondering if I could let my parents go shopping in the Diagon Alley you mentioned?"

"Of course, it's not the past, but you need to cast a revealing spell on your Muggle parents, otherwise they won't be able to see here." (PS. The original book did not mention how Hermione's parents entered Diagon Alley. Yes, based on the premise that it is invisible except to wizards, it is obvious that the bar has been cast with an invisibility spell or the like, so I think it may be necessary to cast a spell on Muggles to see it, I can only guess.)

"Well, can you please help me cast it on my father? I haven't officially gone to school yet, and I don't know any magic. I want to exchange some gold galleons first. The amount may be relatively large, and I need my father to come and exchange it."

"No problem, but there is a mistake that needs to be corrected." Tom touched his funny head and continued,

"Even if you learn magic, you are not allowed to perform magic outside until you reach adulthood, otherwise you will be in danger of being expelled from school."

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Tom." Magos nodded as if he just knew.

"It's nothing. When you go to school, someone will tell you some rules, although I think most of them are useless." Tom paused and continued,

"When will your father come over? When he comes, call me."

"He's nearby. Just wait, I'll call him here right now." After speaking, McGoss hurriedly ran out of the bar.

Walking out of the bar door felt like traveling between two worlds. This instant change made Magos relax.

After he recovered, he looked around and saw a coffee shop not far away and ran towards it.

I ran to the coffee shop and saw my father sitting near the window, meditating. I walked into the coffee shop and pointed to the waiter my father's table and walked straight over.

"dad."

Magos's voice woke up Earl Will who was thinking about something. Seeing Magos now beside him, he subconsciously looked at his watch. Less than an hour had passed.

"Why did you come out so early?" Earl Will asked strangely.He remembered that his son said he wanted to go to Diagon Alley, Wizard Street.Finished shopping so quickly?

"I want you to come with me," Magos said in a low voice.

"Let's go together? Where?" Earl Will suddenly reacted and opened his eyes wide.

"Should we go there? Can I go too?"

"Yes, I asked, and he said that you only need to cast a spell and you can see the bar. Let's go there now. And the wizards don't use pounds. They use a kind of magic gold coin, but you can use pounds to go there. The exchange rate is a bit high, one to five."

Earl Will didn't hear the rest of the words clearly at all. He only heard that he was going to cast a spell on him. His instinct was a kind of resistance, but seeing Magos's hopeful and excited look, coupled with the fear of the unknown, Fear and curiosity, various different emotions made him nodded slowly with a tangled look on his face.

"Waiter, pay the bill." After Earl Will tipped him, he picked up his suitcase and walked to the bar door again with Magos. Of course, Earl Will couldn't see it now. He could only stare at the wall in a daze. , the mood is also extremely contradictory.

Magos walked quickly to the bar again,

"Mr. Tom, my father is at the door of the bar now. Can you let him in now?"

"Oh, okay, here I come. Sir, your butterbeer." Tom handed a cup to a wizard and then stood up and walked to the door of the bar with Magos.

While Count Will was still thinking about what the wizarding world was like, Magos and a strange man suddenly appeared next to him.

"Dad, this is the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, Mr. Tom, and he will cast a revealing spell on you."

"Hello, Mr. Tom." Earl Will handed over his right hand. His excellent aristocratic education made him unable to see the fear of facing unknown things.

"Oh, hello, Mr. Will's father." He said and shook Earl Will's hand vigorously.

" #@& amp ; amp ; amp ; # # # & amp ; amp ; amp ; ..." Tom took out a wand that looked like a thin wooden stick and read an incomprehensible word to Earl Will.

As Tom's curse stopped, Earl Will looked at the bar that suddenly appeared in front of him, and subconsciously whispered "oh. my? god."

"God? We don't believe in him." Hearing Earl Will's voice, Tom shrugged and said.

"Come on, let's go in. I think you may not know how to enter Diagon Alley yet. Follow me."

Earl Will walked uneasily among a group of wizards. Magos felt that his father's hand holding his was sweating.

Tom led them across the bar to the small walled patio.There is nothing here except a trash can and some weeds.

Earl Will looked around uneasily, while Magos stared at the brick wall in front of him excitedly...
