Chapter 17 Diagon Alley

The fact that we don’t have a list isn’t really a big deal.

Not to mention that Professor McGonagall is already very familiar with the things that young wizards of all grades need each year. He can also know what to buy by directly asking the shops in Diagon Alley.

Professor McGonagall gently tapped Fish on the forehead as punishment, and then took him to the lobby of the Leaky Cauldron.

There was another familiar but boring exchange of pleasantries, and a strange wizard asking about Fei Xu's identity.

Feixu pretended not to hear it anyway, he was still hungry.

"Bring me and Fish a breakfast, Tom."

After greeting acquaintances in the lobby, Professor McGonagall waved to Tom, the boss at the bar.

Tom responded, turned around and went to the kitchen. After a while, he came back with two dinner plates and placed them in front of Professor McGonagall and Fish respectively.

stare--(_..)

Poking the pancakes and raw liver on the plate with his finger, Fish looked at Professor McGonagall with a bitter look on his face.

Is this what you call delicious?

Minerva is indeed a big liar!

Professor McGonagall was a little embarrassed by Fish's stare. She cleared her throat and whispered comforting words: "You can eat something to fill your stomach first. I will buy you something delicious when we get to Diagon Alley."

After staring at Professor McGonagall for a long time, Fish decided to believe her again, grabbed the pancake on the plate and started biting into it angrily.

Although it doesn't look great, the pancake actually tastes pretty good, but Fish prefers meat.

So he put down the half-eaten pancake, held the fork behind his back, picked up a piece of raw liver, and put it into his mouth.

The taste is surprisingly good, and the meat is indeed delicious!

"Meow~"

Feeling much happier, Fei Xu narrowed his eyes, quickly swept away the raw liver on the plate, then picked up the remaining half of the pancake, dipped it in the raw liver soup and ate it clean.

After the two of them had eaten and drank enough, Professor McGonagall took Fish through the bar of the Leaky Cauldron and came to a small patio surrounded by walls.

There is nothing here except a trash can and some weeds.

"Fish, you must remember the next steps clearly."

Professor McGonagall walked to the only trash can and took out her wand.

"Count three bricks upward, two bricks across the way - then tap the brick three times."

As she spoke, she demonstrated to Fish, drawing a circle on a battered-looking brick, and then lightly tapping it three times with her wand.

The knocked brick began to shake and move, and then a small hole appeared in the middle of the wall, and the hole became larger and larger. Not long after, a wide archway appeared in front of them.

Fish looked in along the archway. At the other end of the archway was a winding cobbled street with no end in sight.

"Let's go."

Professor McGonagall tilted her head towards Fish and walked into the archway first. Fish followed quickly and kept turning his head, looking at everything around him curiously.

When both of them passed through the archway, the archway behind them instantly turned back into a wall.

Entering Diagon Alley, the first store was Partridge's Crucible Shop, which specialized in selling crucibles. Professor McGonagall quickly bought a standard size 2 pewter crucible in the store, and then rushed to the next one with Fish. shop.

It only took a short time for the resolute Professor McGonagall to buy textbooks, crucibles, balances, telescopes and other supplies for Fish. By the way, he also bought the largest ice cream at the Florin cold drink shop to appease the constant Fisch glanced in the direction of the Eela Owl Shop.

"Next, all that's left is the uniform and the wand."

Professor McGonagall calculated on her fingers and dragged Fish towards Madam Malkin's robe store.

"Minerva, that shop seems very interesting."

Fish, who was forcibly dragged away, pointed to the Jumping Magic Joke Shop not far away. Through the window, one could see the magical fireworks being displayed inside.

Professor McGonagall pretended not to have heard. Fish, the little fur cat, was already enough for her, but what if he came into contact with the products of the Magic Joke Shop? Even Zuko's Joke Shop in Hogsmeade, she deliberately avoided and did not take Fish to visit.

Compared with this little guy Fish, the Weasley twins are nothing to mention.

Thinking that Fish was likely to get to know George and Fred after enrolling, Professor McGonagall suddenly didn't want him to be sorted into Gryffindor.

The process of purchasing uniforms was also very smooth. Fish had long been accustomed to wearing human clothes, so even though the process of Mrs. Malkin using a tape measure and robes to mark on herself was boring, Fish still endured it.

Because Minerva promised him to buy him a large ice cream when it was over.

After buying the uniforms needed for school from Mrs. Malkin, Professor McGonagall kept her word and took Fish back to Florin's Cold Drink Shop to eat a large box of ice cream before taking him to the meeting. The last stop of the Corner Alley trip——

Almost all wizards in England must go to a shop once in their lifetime, Ollivander's Wand Shop.

Ollivander's Wand Shop is located at the end of Diagon Alley. The entire store looks small and shabby. The gold-lettered sign on the door has peeled off. It reads: Ollivander's: Making fine wands since 382 BC.

In the dusty window, a solitary wand sat on a faded purple cushion.

Fish followed Professor McGonagall into the shop. In addition to a bench, there were only countless long and narrow boxes stacked to the ceiling.

After looking around the environment in the store, Fish suddenly turned his head to the right and looked towards the back of the store, which was covered by countless boxes.

Because there suddenly rang a tinkling bell over there.

"good morning."

An old man with white hair and eyebrows, and even silver eyes walked out from behind and came to Fish and Professor McGonagall.

"Hello, Mr. Ollivander."

Professor McGonagall smiled, nodded to Garrick Ollivander and responded.

"Oh, it's you, Ms. McGonagall, what a happy reunion... Fir wood, nine and one-half inches, hard, and very suitable for transfiguration." Mr. Ollivander's voice was very soft, He blinked at Professor McGonagall, "I guess you're pretty satisfied with it?"

"Of course, I couldn't be more satisfied."

"That's good, that's good." Mr. Ollivander nodded happily, then looked at Fish aside, "So, this is the child you adopted?"

"Yes, I will bring him to pick a wand from you. After all, there is no better wand shop in England than yours."

Mr. Ollivander, who was praised by Professor McGonagall, smiled even more happily. He took out a long tape measure engraved with silver scales from his pocket and asked Fish in a soft voice: "So, Fish Mai Mr. Ge, what is your dominant hand?”

"Meow?"

Fish looked at his hands, tilted his head and thought for a while, then raised his left hand high.

"This one!" (●ΦωΦ●)

"No need to lift it so high, come on, put your arms flat."

Mr. Ollivander put the tape measure on Fish's shoulder, and then the tape measure began to move around Fish's body.

First from the shoulder to the fingertips, then from the wrist to the elbow, the shoulder to the floor, the knees to the armpits, even the circumference of the head, and even the distance between the nostrils, this tape measure was not missed.

Fish resisted the instinct to pounce on the tape measure and let it swim back and forth on his body.

Although he also wanted to grab this tape measure and play with it, he wanted a magic wand even more...

Because Minerva used this small wooden stick called a wand to cast those strange spells to cure herself.

So Feishu thought about it more than once, if one day he also had a magic wand...

Then Minerva can't control him!

At this time, Mr. Ollivander had already moved many long boxes from various shelves and piled them haphazardly at Fish's feet.

"alright."

After finishing the measurement, Mr. Ollivander put the tape measure that had rolled up on the ground back into his pocket, then took out a wand from the box piled aside and handed it to Fish.

"Let's try this one, Mr. McGonagall. It's the same fir tree as the fire dragon's heart nerve, and it's equally hard, but it's longer than Minerva's one, twelve inches. You can wave it and try it. "

Fish took the wand, which was said to be made of the same material as Minerva, and did not follow Mr. Ollivander's instructions to wave it. Instead, he put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully for a moment, and then...

He took a bite.

I found out that Professor McGonagall's wand is made of fir wood, the heart nerve of a fire dragon, and is nine and a half inches.

However, the official circumference is about 35 centimeters, which is thirteen and one-half inches.

I don’t know if there’s something wrong with the information I found, or if the peripherals don’t follow the official settings.

A little trivia: male cats are more likely to be left-handed, while female cats are more likely to be right-handed.

When I wrote about Fei Xu using a fork and a towel, I also specifically wrote about the left hand...

These are all details! o(*￣︶￣*)o

…

I should still be in the car at this time...
