Chapter 201: A Chance Encounter in Diagon Alley
At the beginning of August, Le Yuan returned to London, England after the four's exploration trip, and when Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron Bar, saw Le Yuan again after a year, the face that forced a smile was uglier than crying made Yui cover her mouth and laugh.
This time, however, he didn't ask Tom to do anything, and stayed in the inn until August 11, when he received a letter from Dumbledore.
The letter was not very much, but it only expressed his welcome to Leyuan's arrival, and that on the 19th of the week, he would send Hagrid, the Hogwarts hunting groundsman, to lead Leyuan to buy some necessary items, and inform him to go to King's Cross Station on September 1 to catch the Hogwarts Express.
A week later, at noon on the 19th, after Le Yuan and Yui had just finished lunch, a big man with a face almost completely hidden by his long unkempt hair and tangled thick beard took the initiative to find the door.
Le Yuan stood inside the door and looked at the giant in front of him, compared his huge body and decisively didn't let him squeeze into the room.
I saw the giant half-bent over staring at Le Yuan and asked in a deep voice, "Excuse me, you are Zax. Mr. Phil? β
Le Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, I am, you are the Hagrid mentioned by Headmaster Dumbledore, it's a pleasure to meet you." β
I saw that Hagrid heard that Le Yuan was not very resistant to his unusual appearance, and immediately felt much closer to Le Yuan, so he wanted to enter the house, half-bowed and walked into the house, and saw Yui sitting on a chair looking at him with big watery eyes, Hagrid raised his hand and showed a self-righteous smile and said, "Hello, little one." β
However, Yui has never judged people by their appearance, and was born as a program to monitor their mental state, Yui's instinct can sense the mental state of the creatures around her, although Hagrid's face looks a little vicious, but it is enough to express kindness, so Yui also smiled and said, "Hello." Big! β
Hagrid searched left and right and couldn't find a place where he could stay, so he bent over and took out a note from his bosom and handed it to Le Yuan, only to see that there were many titles listed on itβ"Standard Spells, Level 2", by Miranda Goshak; "Breaking with a Female Ghost", Gildero. by Lockhart; "Travelling with Ghouls", Gildero. by Lockhart; "Vacation with the Dominatrix", Gildero. by Lockhart; "Walking with the Trolls", Gildero. by Lockhart; Traveling on a Boat with a Vampire, by Gildero. by Lockhart; "Wandering with Werewolves". Gildero. by Lockhart; A Year with the Tibetan Yeti, by Gildero. By Lockhart.
After seeing it, Le Yuan understood that this was the book that the protagonist Harry Potter needed in his grade, and looked at Hagrid suspiciously: "If I'm not mistaken, these should be the magic books of the second year of Hogwarts, did Professor Dumbledore want me to audit the second year class?" "In terms of the level of magic, Le Yuan has almost completely revealed all wizards except Dumbledore, and Le Yuan can't grasp how strong Dumbledore is with the Elder Wand.
Hagrid scratched his head and said, "This is the principal's arrangement, and I don't know very well. But you just need to prepare these books, and everything else the principal says is free and you don't have to prepare it. Then let's go to the Blotted Bookstore first! β
Le Yuan took Yui's hand and followed Hagrid, only to see Hagrid walk towards the wall of the small patio behind the Leaky Cauldron. Knocking on the three horizontal bricks on the garbage can, the whole wall suddenly became violently the whole building, and the wall split in two, revealing a cobblestone street.
Hagrid entered and suddenly thought of something. Turning his head, he lowered his head to look at Le Yuan and asked, "By the way, do you have the money here with you?" If not, I'll take you to Gringotts to get it first. β
Le Yuan casually took out a bag from the space backpack and shook it. The crisp sound of metal crashing reached Hagrid's ears, and Le Yuan smiled: "Of course I'm ready, I've been living here for a long time, you should have other things, do you want to go and do your business first?" β
Hagrid suddenly smiled and said in a rough voice, "Is it okay, Mr. Phil, thank you so much." I'm looking for a medicine to repel the carnivorous slugs, they're about to run out of cabbage at school. β
Saying goodbye to Hagrid, Le Yuan bought a strawberry cream ice cream for Yui, and bought a bunch of Gilderoy at the Blotted bookstore in addition to "Standard Spells, Level 2". The books written by Lockhart, after all, these miscellaneous books are not among the magic books that Le Yuan has collected.
Just as he finished buying books, Le Yuan wanted to leave, but found that a large group of people were already crowded outside the bookstore, and looking at the overcrowded, he couldn't get out for a while. A large banner was pulled upstairs: Gilderoy Lockhart's autobiography for sale signed and sold from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. today.
"We can meet him in person!" One of the witches cried out, "I mean, almost all the books on the list are written by him!"
Le Yuan looked at the screaming witch and found that she was only about twelve or thirteen years old, with thick and unkempt brown hair, bright brown eyes, front teeth, and a very nervous expression, like a fanatical star chaser. Beside her were two boys of the same age, and it was one of them, a thin boy with dark hair and glasses, who could feel a deeply hidden evil intent on his forehead.
"A Gryffindor trio?" Looking at the three young protagonists in front of him, Le Yuan couldn't help but turn his eyes to a male wizard who was walking out of the crowd with a tired face, only to see him walk to the door and say to the crowd: "Ladies, be quiet...... Don't crowd...... Beware of book ......"
Under Le Yuan's perception, Gilderoy Lockhart, a well-known popular wizard, has a pitiful level of magic power in his body, or it is only a little better than the protagonist Sanxiao on one side, and it can't be compared to adult wizards at all, which is no wonder that he has all kinds of failures when casting magic, and that bit of magic can only spend effort to study the spell that can be easily cast at the second-grade magic level.
However, Le Yuan also had to admire Gildero. Lockhart's level of study, he is worthy of being born in Ravenclaw, and he has improved his wisdom and wisdom to forget everything, so that he can effectively erase the memories of wizards who are stronger than himself, but unfortunately his cleverness is useless on the right path.
For Gildero, who is hell-bent on becoming famous. Lockhart, that was an opportunity not to be missed, just the moment Harry Potter spoke, he captured Harry's position, and when he saw the famous Harry Potter, he pulled him to his side, and the audience burst into applause.
Gildero. Lockhart also knew that the iron should be struck while it was hot, and just as everyone was noticing him, he announced in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen...... It is with great pleasure and pride that I will be a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this September!"
At this time, the protagonist Harry Potter's nemesis, Drach Malfoy, saw Harry walking out of the crowd, and began to sneer: "Look, who is this, the famous Harry Potter, you must like this, Mr. Potter." Then with a characteristic mocking smile, he said: "The famous Harry Potter can't help but become front-page news even when it enters the bookstore." β
Harry's diehard Ginny on the side couldn't see that he was the first to jump out and defend: "Don't talk nonsense, he doesn't want that!"
"Potter, you've got a girlfriend!" Malfoy said in a long voice. Ginny's face flushed as Ron and Hermione rushed over, each holding a stack of Lockhart's books.
As soon as Ron saw Malfoy, he immediately took the hatred from Ginny and began to spray Malfoy. However, it was obvious that Malfoy's mouth was sharper, and after a while, Ron's face was red, and he was speechless for a long time.
Just when Ron wanted to put on an all-out martial arts show, Harry and Hermione on the side hurriedly pulled him.
However, the war between the children was soon transferred to the adults, and Mr. Malfoy's poisonous mouth was worthy of family tradition, and the cynicism directly referred to the Weasley, who was the same father, as a speechless.
Le Yuan watched all this, taunting Draco, who was full of skills. Malfoy sparked a fight between the Malfoys and Weasleys, and in the chaos, the two adult wizards, Weasley and Malfoy, scuffled together, but Hagrid, who arrived in time, separated the two, but despite this, Weasley's lips were broken and Malfoy's eye was swollen.
As if venting, Malfoy shoved the worn-out Transfiguration textbook he was holding into the crucible in Ginny's hand on the side, but the sharp-eyed Le Yuan found that there was a black notebook under the Transfiguration textbook, and Le Yuan pretended to walk past Ginny, brushing his hand over the crucible, and at the same time, the object control technique in his hand was activated at the same time.
The black notebook silently touched Le Yuan's hand, and the next second the notebook disappeared into Le Yuan's hand.
Just when Le Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and thought that he could easily spend a school year, the unreassuring prompt of the system appeared in his ears again-
Optional Mission 1: Horcrux Researcher
Description: As a magic explorer, don't you study this rare magic that is nearly extinct? Each Horcrux destroyed rewards 1000 points, 10 experience points, attribute points *1, and 3000 points deducted for failure.
This kind of lucrative task, Le Yuan naturally accepted it. After buying a book and meeting the protagonist Sanxiao, and successfully opening an optional mission, Le Yuan left the bookstore with Yui in tow.
Although Dumbledore had said that Le Yuan could do whatever he wanted, in order not to make himself independent, Le Yuan specially took Yui to Madame Morkin's robes store, and ordered a set of automatic ironing and repair wizard robes for himself and Yui.
Everything was over, and Le Yuan returned to the hotel. After closing the door and placing a warning reminder and protective magic in the room, Le Yuan used the mirror technique on the floor-to-ceiling window on the side, and then pulled Yui into the mirror world. (To be continued.) )
