The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Early in the morning, just as the sun rose, Albert had already opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep. He turned his head slightly to the door, and there was a familiar sound of footsteps in the corridor.

The next moment, someone knocked on the door, and Nia's voice sounded outside the door.

"Get up, Albert, get up quickly!"

Albert got up from the bed, just covering a yawn, raised his hand and stretched out, the door was opened, Tom got in through the crack of the door, trotted to the chair, and then jumped again, landing on the door. Soft cushions on the table, lying down comfortably.

"It seems that Tom likes this cushion very much." Albert reached out and touched Tom's head, smiled and said to Nia, "You go out first, I'll change."

"Come on, Dad said we're going to be in London before ten o'clock." Nia greeted Tom to leave, and she didn't forget to take Tom's cushion before leaving.

"So early?" Albert was a little surprised.

"He said go ahead and we'll have enough time to stroll around Diagon Alley." Nia was leaning against the wall and said, she obviously agreed with Herb's approach.

After all, this time, the Anderson family went to Diagon Alley together, and to put it bluntly, the family went shopping in Diagon Alley.

If you don't make time in advance, the rest of the trip can get rushed.

When Albert went downstairs to eat, Nia also proposed to bring a camera to take a few pictures, but Albert directly rejected it.

"Doing that makes you stand out, and that's not a good thing."

"They..." Daisy frowned slightly, and thought about her words before saying, "... 'look down' on ordinary people?"

She didn't use the word discrimination after all.

"Yes, some wizards are like this." Albert does not deny this, "They think they have extraordinary power and they are superior to others. In fact, the entire wizarding world is very backward, wait until you go to Diagon Alley. You will know, but sometimes you can't deny that magic is really good and can solve a lot of troubles. But most wizards' thinking is too backward, or they are very inferior and afraid of being persecuted. Well, ordinary people In this regard, we have to bear a huge burden.”

In fact, if magic and technology can be combined...

Albert immediately dismissed this unrealistic idea.

Reformers are usually the unlucky ones who die on the front lines.

For a small person like Albert, living a short life well is the most important thing. Even if this world will explode in place in three hundred years, it has nothing to do with him.

Until the end of the meal, they did not continue to talk about the unpleasant topic, but said some things to pay attention to when going to Diagon Alley.

At 8:30, Albert and his family set off for London by car.

In the UK, this time is very early for most people.

It took the Andersons a while to get to London, and Herb soon took them to the big bookstore and record store.

"Arrived?" Nia asked suspiciously, looking between the big bookstore and the record store, "Where's the bar?"

"Here." Albert nodded.

"When you went to Hogwarts, I came here a few times, but I couldn't find that bar anyway." Herb couldn't help but sigh, "Magic is really a magical thing."

"Because there is a spell that blocks ordinary people nearby." Albert explained, "The effect of this spell is to make ordinary people ignore some things and prevent ordinary people from accidentally entering the Leaky Cauldron."

"How do we get in?" Daisy asked.

"Come with me." Albert took Nia's hand, "Don't be nervous, make yourself look more natural."

With Albert's help, the Andersons finally entered the Leaky Cauldron.

"I didn't even notice there was a bar here!" After Nia followed Albert into the Leaky Cauldron, she was startled by the scene inside, she shrank, hid behind Albert, tightly grabbed his hand.

No way, it's too dark and dirty here, there are still a few strange guys sitting in the bar, the old woman with the smoking bag, the bald sloppy old man, and the drunk middle-aged man, no matter how you look at it , These guys are all different from the people Nia comes into contact with on a daily basis.

Albert nodded slightly towards the bar owner Tom, ignoring the gazes of others, and led his family towards the backyard.

"Don't be nervous, you are here to go shopping." Albert noticed Daisy biting his lip and comforted.

Although Daisy looked calm as usual, Albert knew she had a habit of biting her lip when she was nervous.

"The environment here is more... shabby than I thought." Daisy looked at the backyard and asked, "Is the entrance right here?"

Ever since Albert visited Diagon Alley once last year, the Andersons knew that the entrance to Diagon Alley was in the backyard of the Leaky Cauldron.

"Yes." Albert took out his wand, tapped the third brick from the left above the trash can, and signaled everyone to step back.

Looking at the open archway on the wall leading to Diagon Alley, Nia looked extremely excited and screamed, "It's amazing."

Albert smiled and said, "Welcome to Diagon Alley."

"I didn't expect Diagon Alley to be a street." Daisy looked at the wizards and the old shops on both sides of the alley, and understood Albert's description. It seems that it has been here for a while. It's not too much to describe.

"Where are we going next?" Daisy asked.

"Go and buy the books first," said Albert.

Since Herb exchanged a lot of galleons last year, and it hasn't been spent yet, so they didn't go to Gringotts this time, and Nia was disappointed that she couldn't see the goblins.

However, the magic shops lining the cobbled street quickly caught Nia's attention.

Albert was dragged into Lishen Bookstore by Nia. Herb and Daisy looked at each other and walked in behind them.

Nia's eyes were immediately attracted by those different magic books.

After entering the bookstore, Herb had a simple communication with the store owner and bought the books Albert needed.

Well, actually just need to buy one, and that is the Standard Spells, Level 2 used in the Charms class. The remaining textbooks will continue to be used from the previous semester.

"Is this book not for sale?" Albert asked the shop owner, pointing to the books on the display shelf.

"Yes, not for sale." The point master explained, "This is a new work by Mr. Mog McDougall. It is said that he has only printed a hundred copies."

"A hundred copies sold out?" Albert was a little surprised. He had thought that Mr. Mog McDougall's book would not sell. "Why not continue printing?"

"I heard that the content in it is very difficult, and ordinary people can't understand it at all, so Mr. Mog McDougall thinks that it can't be sold even if it is printed, so it will not be printed." The shop owner explained, "If you have a feeling for Rune, If you are interested, I recommend you to buy the "Basic Rune Complete Solution" by Mr. Mog McDougall, this book is simple and easy to understand."

"So, most of the hundred books that Mr. McDougall printed were mostly used as gifts?" Albert muttered softly. That's right, no one else can understand this book, so how can you buy it, and spend five Galleons to buy it back for collection?

"Don't you have a copy of this?" Nia asked in confusion.

"Okay, let's go!" Albert took the book, paid the other party a Galleon, and left with Nia.

There are many things that must be purchased.

For example, go to the pharmacy to replenish the various ingredients of the medicine.

In other words, Nia doesn't like drugstores very much, and the weird ingredients in it frighten her enough.

Before leaving the pharmacy, Albert asked Herb to buy a bottle of Baixian essence. With this, if he was accidentally injured in the future, he could use Baixian essence to heal quickly without leaving scars.

After being introduced by Albert, Anderson and his wife were quite emotional, and bought another bottle to give to Grandpa Luke, which is a good thing that the Muggle world can't buy.

Since the school uniform was a few inches shorter than the limbs, Albert had to go to the Lady Malkin Robe Shop to order some new robes.

Here Albert met acquaintances, the McDoug sisters, and their mother, who had come to get custom robes.

The two sides did not speak from beginning to end, and Mrs. McDougall paid and left with her daughter.

"You know each other." Daisy asked curiously.

"It's an acquaintance, in the same club." Albert replied casually.

This time, Nia didn't clamor for a custom one for herself, just watched the whole process of Mrs. Morkin helping Albert customize clothes.

While Albert was refilling ink, quills and parchment at the Wieserac Magic Store, Nia was drawn to a wonderful model of a moving constellation, a large glass sphere containing a model of the solar system.

However, Herb didn't buy it for her, because he thought it was worthless except as a decoration, and it cost 15 Galleons, which was too expensive.

Nia was a little depressed.

However, Albert secretly told her that as long as Nia did well in school, he would help convince the family to buy it for her.

Nia's face immediately turned cloudy and she smiled happily, saying that she would study hard.

After buying the necessary items, the Anderson family continued to wander around Diagon Alley, and when they passed the store at the Magic Zoo, they also went into the store to buy some rations for Tom.

If you get tired, grab a bite to eat under an umbrella outside the coffee shop and chat with your family about Diagon Alley.

During this period, Albert also met Wood, who was shopping at Diagon Alley with his family. The goalkeeper also reminded him to remember to buy a broom.

"Broomstick?"

Albert briefly explained the game of Quidditch to his family, and Herb asked Albert if he needed to visit the Quidditch boutique, which they had passed by earlier.

In Herb and Daisy's point of view, their son is the best, and simple Quidditch is obviously not difficult for him, and listening to the tone of the person just now, thinks that Albert is qualified to join the Quidditch team.

"No need." Albert politely refused, "If you successfully join the team, it's not too late to buy a broom."

"Oh, okay." Herb respected Albert's opinion, but on the way back, he couldn't help but ask, "You don't seem to like Quidditch very much?"

"Accurately speaking, I don't like Quidditch training very much." Albert thought about it and answered honestly, "It's a waste of time, I think I can do other things."

"I think Albert just thinks Quidditch training is troublesome." Nia couldn't help but complain, "Before, he gave up basketball and tennis very simply, and he took the initiative to learn karate only for a few months. ."

The Andersons were silent. They all knew this. Albert knew a lot of things, but he was just too lazy. Many of them gave up without in-depth study. Otherwise, they should have achieved good results in a certain field.

Well, the Andersons' brains seem to be actively blocking Albert's desire to enter the financial world.
