"Wait!" Grandma was a little surprised, "You mean, that school that teaches magic? You really aren't in..."
Mammy didn't say the "joking" behind it. After all, Professor McGonagall’s aura and expression make people respectful.
This is the aura of a teaching director who has served for many years.
Professor McGonagall had an extra wand in her hand, pointed at Mammy gently, and seemed to utter a series of vague pronunciations in her mouth.
Then Mammy's attitude changed: "Oh, welcome Professor McGonagall, I hope little Ted can enroll in your school. That would be great. You guys chat, I'll get you some tea." Then she walked away. .
Ted looked at the wand in Professor McGonagall's hand, "Is this magic? It won't have a bad impact on Mommy, right?"
Professor McGonagall's expression rarely relaxed, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, "Don't worry, Mr. Epiphany, this magic will not have a bad effect on her. She will only think that you have entered a very good school. , I will be very relieved.”
She tapped the plate on the coffee table with her wand, and the plate suddenly turned into a sparrow, flew around the room, and landed on the coffee table again, turning into a plate.
Ted showed an expression of surprise and excitement, "Wow~ Amazing!"
Professor McGonagall nodded, "Mr. Epiphany, you have special abilities that other children don't have, right?"
Ted looked at the guitar on the side - it probably wasn't about me selling my singing.
"You mean this?" Ted reached out to the cup on the table.
The cup began to shake and then flew into his hand.
"Oh~ Good job." Professor McGonagall looked at Ted again.
Few young wizards can control their magic without receiving education.
This is a very talented kid.
"Then, come with me and I will take you to buy some necessary things."
"Professor, I want to tell Mommy."
Professor McGonagall waved her hand, "No need, after all, you can't explain this kind of thing to Muggles clearly, she will think you have been admitted by us..."
If they are the parents of a Muggle wizard, it is necessary to let them know where their child has gone.
They have this power, even under confidentiality laws.
But if it's a nun in an orphanage, that's a different matter. She couldn't be considered Ted's guardian, so she resorted to a confusing spell.
Ted hurriedly asked: "Do I need to bring my luggage?"
"No, no need. You have to come back after shopping. There are still two months until school starts."
…
After walking out of the door, Ted said: "Um...Professor McGonagall, I have no money. I only have 22 pounds and 16 pence in my body. Is that enough?"
Professor McGonagall: "Mr. Epiphany, I don't think you have anything to worry about."
"Just call me Ted."
"Okay, Ted..."
It turns out that Hogwarts has prepared an annual interest-free student loan for special students like Ted.
It's certainly not much, but it's no problem to finish school. You can repay it after graduation.
Conscience!
Wait, the last person to receive a student loan was Tom, right?
Professor McGonagall took Ted to a nearby alley, with a slightly raised corner of his mouth and a subtle expression.
"Ted, in order to save time, we need to use magic to get to the destination. It may not be comfortable, so please bear with it."
"OK."
"Then, take my hand and...disapparate!"
Ted suddenly felt like he was being rotated and squeezed into a narrow pipe. It took a lot of tossing before he stopped.
When his feet touched the ground again, his legs almost gave out and he fell. My stomach was churning even more, and it took me more than ten seconds to stop feeling nauseated.
Professor McGonagall on the side didn't seem to have anything unusual, but was looking at Ted: I didn't expect that he was quite adaptable.
Now Ted has serious suspicions that he has been retaliated against!
In fact, this is indeed the case. Normally, you should come by car.
But who told Professor McGonagall to want Ted to experience the charm of magic in advance? Let him know that some cats can't be rua!
This older cat lady doesn't have a big heart either.
Ted: Did you do it on purpose or accidentally?
Professor McGonagall: On purpose!
Ted: Then I'd better not be assigned to Gryffindor and fall into your hands.
But to be honest, he really wanted to give it a try! Then I will do this, then that, and then this...
The little expert in seeking death couldn't help but start the spiritual victory method.
The system seemed to feel something——
"Ding~Trigger the task:
[But again and again, jerk her off! (green)】.
What's wrong with petting a cat? What's wrong with petting a cat? If you become a hedgehog, wouldn’t I stop masturbating? !
Goal: Resurrection of Professor McGonagall in Animagus state.
Reward: 250 experience, +lv1 transformation.
Damn it, fuck her! "
This...I, I was joking! Why are you still serious? !
How to accomplish this? ! ! !
"Okay, Ted, we're here. The Leaky Cauldron on Charing Cross Street." Professor McGonagall looked at Ted, who was stunned, and felt that his preschool education was very effective.
"Attention, a Muggle expulsion spell has been cast here. Muggles - that is, ordinary people cannot see it."
Ted looked up and saw a very small door, probably not much bigger than a door.
An iron rod sticks out from the door plaque, and a wooden sign hangs on it. There are no words on it, but a leaky cauldron is drawn on it. It's so big that it can stew a child.
It's located between a big bookstore and a record store, and although it's quirky and eye-catching, no one passing by takes a glance at it.
Professor McGonagall opened the door immediately and walked in with Ted.
The bar was a little dark inside, and there were oil lamps on. No wonder it was so dark, it looked like a nightclub.
By the way, it seems that electrical appliances are not allowed in the magic world.
How about you get a magic lamp? Oil lamps and candlesticks are too outdated.
Some long, square or round wooden tables are placed messily around. There were some weird-looking wizards in strange clothes drinking and chatting.
Many people took the initiative to say hello to Professor McGonagall.
Tom Abbott, the bald boss behind the bar, put down his glass and greeted Professor McGonagall, "Oh Professor McGonagall, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you going to pick up this year's newborn?"
Professor McGonagall nodded, "Yes. I'll take him to Diagon Alley to buy things."
"Oh, great. My granddaughter is also a freshman this year."
After exchanging a few words, Professor McGonagall took Ted out of the back door of the Leaky Cauldron, which seemed like a dead end. There is a trash can placed against the wall.
"Remember how to open it." Professor McGonagall said, "Use your wand, starting from the trash can, count three pieces upward, and then count two pieces horizontally. Knock it~"
Then the very thick brick wall began to change. With a clattering sound, the bricks began to recede and overlap, and an arched door appeared.
Inside the door is an alley about four or five meters wide. The cobblestone floor has been polished very smooth, and there are strange shops on both sides.
There are all kinds of incomprehensible goods on the street. Wizards wearing wizard robes are walking in and out of the shops on the street. Many owls are flying around...
This is Diagon Alley, the starting point of the magical world!
Even Ted, who had seen it many times in movies and videos, was still shocked by this scene. Even the system in my mind was almost ignored.
"Ding~Trigger the task:
[Explore Diagon Alley (Green)].
Great Britain's most famous wizarding shopping street, why not take a stroll? Not to be missed in every store!
Goal: Complete 100% exploration of Diagon Alley.
Progress: 1%.
Reward: 100 experience, random cards.
Fighting is much more interesting than visiting a store~"
Looking at Ted who was stunned, Professor McGonagall smiled slightly and said, "Okay Ted, I will have a lot of time to surprise you in the future. It's better to get the money now. You have a lot to buy..."
Professor McGonagall's pace was not slow, and she pulled Ted forward.
Ted looked around and couldn't see clearly. He was so dizzy that he could only keep walking forward.
After walking for five or six minutes, the two came to a fork in the road, and Professor McGonagall finally stopped.
Opposite the fork in the road is a three-story white building.
Other shops have at most two floors, and most of them are made of wood, but this building is made of white stone and looks quite impressive from a distance.
Of course, you can only look at it from a distance.
Because if you look closely, you will realize: Oh my God! The white marble columns outside Gringotts are actually crooked!
And the crookedness has its own characteristics. The pillars on the first, second and third floors are not in the same direction, let alone a line!
As a construction worker who once ran away with buckets, this scene was too hurtful!
Ted had the urge to run over and straighten the pillar!
On both sides of the bronze gate of Gringotts stood arrogant elf guards wearing scarlet uniforms trimmed with gold. They looked at people with unpleasant looks.
Going further inside is a white and silver door with a row of eye-catching large characters engraved on it:
Come in, stranger, but beware of the consequences of greed.
Those who blindly ask for something without any effort will be severely punished.
If you want to take a piece of wealth from our underground vault that was never yours.
Thief, you have been warned, beware not of treasure but of evil retribution.
Ted curled his lips and said, "They seem to be very insecure."
Professor McGonagall heard this and nodded: "Indeed."
When most people see this, they will probably think that goblins have a bad attitude towards wizards.
But Ted saw the leprechauns' lustful looks.
They are guilty and afraid, but greed and pride allow them to keep up their face.
Professor McGonagall quickly retrieved the Ted student loans from the high counters on both sides of the hall.
In order to show their condescension, the goblins built a one-and-a-half meter high chair behind the counter. You probably have to use a small ladder to get up and down.
In fact, they should be considered a type of goblin?
In the early years, the West was very uneducated and had a limited vocabulary. Many similar things were called one name - Goblin.
This resulted in goblins, goblins, goblins, and dwarfs being confused and confused.
The appearance of goblins is really far away from human aesthetics, and their appearance is really not worthy of attention. In Ted's opinion, calling him a monster is more appropriate than a goblin.
There is a poem that proves: The body is as thin as a dwarf, and the body is as tall as half three inches. The broad face is concave, the nose is amber, the eyes are sharp, the ears are sharp, the fangs are dropped to the knees, the hammer is shaking, the sun and the moon are frightened, the wolves are walking around and weeping about ghosts and gods, there are brothers everywhere in Kyushu. Nicknamed Goblin.
They have a very special concept. They believe that the things they make are their own, and the fees paid to them are regarded as rent. As long as the first owner dies, they have the right to take the thing back.
When Gryffindor asked the goblins to make the sword, they blackmailed him, and he was beaten miserably.
Ted: Don’t force me to be Goblin Slayer~
