Chapter 5 The Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley

Listening to his father's noise downstairs gradually getting quieter, Fan Lin was in a terrible mood. His father had never been so cruel to little Fan Lin, because little Fan Lin was very well-behaved, so Mr. Aier like this today is still the first. Seen for the first time.

With disappointment and unwillingness, Xiao Fanlin lay on his bed. At this moment, he didn't want to do anything but lie like this. His mind had become a mess, with imagination and longing for the magical world. Unknowingly, Fan Lin fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

Night always comes quickly, and the starlight gradually drives away the heat of the summer sun. The silvery white light replaced the darkness brought by the arrival of night in the bedroom!

The door creaked and was pushed open, and Mr. Al walked into Fan Lin's room.

Standing at his son's bedside and looking at his sleeping face, Mr. Al felt a little ripple in his heart, including bitterness, uneasiness, and a trace of reluctance. Compared with when Fanlin's mother left, Al There is no trace of fear in the gentleman’s eyes!

He gently touched Xiao Fanlin's face and said, "He looks so much like his mother!" He murmured softly, for fear of waking up Fan Lin who was sleeping soundly.

Maybe the movements were not gentle enough. After all, it was too difficult for an adult man's hands to do such small things.

Little Alfanlin opened his eyes dimly and saw his father sitting on the bedside. He was about to ask something excitedly, but then he remembered his father's attitude today. He lowered his eyes and asked timidly: "Dad, Mr. Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall have already left." The voice was as thin as a mosquito's fly. Little Alvarin was afraid of angering his father again, but he still asked reluctantly.

"Oh, yes, Fanlin." Mr. Al came back to his senses, his eyes were a little dazed, but he soon became clear, "Principal Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall have left, about 6 p.m. By the time of the clock, I had already hosted Principal Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall for dinner. The rest are still in the kitchen for you. If you are hungry, you can go down and eat some!"

Mr. Aier smiled, put his hand on Xiao Fanlin's head and rubbed it, then put his hand on the edge of the bed, stared into Xiao Fanlin's eyes, and said seriously: "Fan Lin, daddy wants to ask you a question. OK?"

"Ask me, dad." Xiao Fanlin still looked depressed.

"What do you think about magic, or do you know magic? Tell me, this is very important, Fanlin."

Seeing his father staring at him, little El Fanlin felt a little nervous and uneasy. He was about to open his mouth to answer the concept of magic that Mr. Al had always instilled in him. However, in Mr. Al's serious eyes, Xiao Fanlin wanted to lie, but he couldn't.

"Wingardium Leviosa."

With the thought of the spell and the raising of Xiao Fanlin's arm, a chair in the room slowly rose into the air.

Mr. Al looked at the performance of his son in front of him in surprise, and then he felt a sense of relief, which made Mr. Al feel a little relaxed!

"Okay, Fan Lin, I understand. I think I don't need to ask you any more questions later. I agree that you can go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to study magic."

There was a "bang" sound, and the chair fell to the ground. Mr. Al also understood that over the years, little Al always encountered the origin of things, and couldn't help but smile wryly and shook his head.

"Really! Dad! Uh, I mean, you really want me to learn magic from Dean Dumbledore?"

Xiao Fanlin seemed a little at a loss. He didn't expect what method Dean Dumbledore used to get his father to agree to learn magic.

Looking at the happy and helpless son in front of him, Mr. Al also understood that all this was destined, and it was a fate that he, an ordinary person, could not resist.

"Yes, Fan Lin, I agree. You go downstairs and eat your dinner first. It's already past seven o'clock. If you don't go to have dinner, you will spend the night hungry!"

"Okay, Dad, I'm going to eat now!"

Xiao Fanlin rolled over from the bed, cheered that I was going to learn magic, and ran downstairs happily.

Watching the back of his son running downstairs. Mr. Al was stunned for a long time, and then seemed to be relieved. Just smiling like this, I walked down the stairs...

"London Station is about to arrive. Passengers getting off the train, please bring your belongings and wait for the train to get off."

The train slowly entered the platform of London Railway Station, and got out of the car. Two figures, one big and one small, came down!

"Dad, we need to go find the Leaky Cauldron first, right?"

The man looked down at his watch. It was ten forty in the morning. I took out the map and searched carefully.

"Yes, Fanlin, we need to go to the Leaky Cauldron first. Dean Dumbledore told me that the people there will take us to Diagon Alley to buy the props you need."

"And the wand, Dad!"

"Well, yes, there is also a magic wand!" Mr. Al took little Al Linfan's hand, followed the instructions on the map, took several buses back and forth, and finally arrived at an inconspicuous little corner of London. Here, discover this essential location, the Leaky Cauldron.

An old wooden plaque hangs on the dark door face, and a protruding iron pipe has a beer glass made of wood hanging on it. Looking at the translucent window, there was a dim light shining dimly. The entire bar exudes an atmosphere of the times, looking dim and run-down, which is out of place with the two people's clothes.

"Fan Lin, I think this is it. I really don't understand why there is such a rundown little bar in London!"

"Okay, Dad, let's go in quickly!"

Xiao Fanlin obviously couldn't hold back his curiosity and excitement. He took Mr. Al's hand and pushed open the old door of the Leaky Cauldron.

As soon as they entered the door, with the ringing of the bell, everyone in the room turned their heads and looked at this pair of people who were obviously not wizards. The dim light made the whole room look lifeless.

Mr. Al was obviously not very adaptable. He pulled Xiao Fanlin to the bartender's bar and put his hand on the wooden bar.

"Sir, please ask, what do you want for a drink?" The bartender quickly put away the uneasy expression on his face. He couldn't understand how a Muggle could find him here.

"I followed the instructions of Mr. Albus Dumbledore to take my children here to Diagon Alley to buy supplies for school. Mr. Albus said that you can get help here. This is what Mr. Albus gave you. letter."

The bartender took the letter and read the contents carefully.

"Oh, it's an honor, Mr. Al, and our new cute little wizard. I'll be happy to help you!"

The bartender read the letter and said to Mr. Al with a smile on his face: "Mr. Al, this is clear. I will take you to exchange the currency of the wizarding world. I will take you to Diagon Alley later, I think. You must It will be an eye-opener!”

The bartender took Mr. Al and Fan Lin to the next room. After exchanging pounds for gold galleons, he led them through the backstage of the bar and came to a thick wall.

"Dad, where does this gentleman want to take us? Aren't we going to Diagon Alley?" Xiao Fanlin felt very puzzled when he saw the wall in front of him. He raised his head and whispered to his father.

"Wait a minute, my cute little wizard. Soon you will see the magical side, which is also the interesting part of magic. Stand back, my little wizard." The bartender smiled and pulled out a wand, signaling to little Fanlin El. The father and son stepped back. Xiao Fanlin's eyes began to light up after seeing the magic wand. He felt that the next sight would be an eye-opener for him.

The bartender took out his wand and tapped the stone bricks around the gap regularly at a gap in the wall. Suddenly, the entire wall began to roll from the gap to both sides, and a dazzling beam of sunlight shone in through the gap spread by the roll.
