Chapter 29 First Meeting a Talkative Little Girl (Thanks to Trooper1770 for the reward)
"Do you have to go through the Floo network? Can't disapparate?" David reluctantly looked at the shiny powder in Newt's hand.

The Floo network is also a kind of travel relaxation commonly used by wizards in the wizarding world. Sprinkle Floo powder into the fireplace, and then shout out where you are going, and you can reach it.

Very convenient, but the fireplace will always sprinkle ashes on you and stain your face.

David didn't want to soil his new clothes, which Queenie had brought to him just last night to celebrate his admission to Hogwarts.

"That's not okay, this is the day you went to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies for the first time, you can't use apparition." Newt said with a smile: "It's like this for children in wizard families, life needs this kind of ritual feel."

David rolled his eyes, always felt that Newt was fooling him, but couldn't find any evidence, he grabbed a handful of powder from the bowl Newt was carrying, walked to the fireplace, "John, do you want to go together? "

"No need, I have to clean the studio later." John said, "However, can you bring me some Potions books? I've read all the books at home."

"Okay." David nodded, threw the powder in his hand into the fireplace, and with a whoosh, a green flame appeared inside.

David stepped into the flames and shouted, "Diagon Alley."

Then he felt himself being sucked into a tube, whirling and hurtling forward, a little better than Apparating.

Suddenly, he seemed to hit something, and his hand hurt a little, then he stopped and appeared in another fireplace.

"Cough, cough." David coughed a few times, choking uncomfortably. Now his body is covered with ashes and looks dirty.

"David, how do you feel?" Newt gloated in David's ear.

I knew it, the unreliable and wicked Newt!
David came out of the fireplace and glared at Newt, who was dressed neatly next to him. He had been apparated and had no stains on his body.

"I'm not lying to you. The children in the past really could only get here by Floo, but it was a long time ago." Newt said while waving his wand, and David's clothes became clean again.

David ignored him and looked around. They were in a neatly decorated and well-lit small bar. There were green plants on the tables or in some corners, making the whole bar look warm and comfortable.

The tables in the bar were almost full of people. Some parents who took their children to buy school supplies in Diagon Alley, or wizards who were planning to do business or had already gone to Diagon Alley to do business, settled here to rest, chat in low voice, and exchange information from the wizarding world. information.

This was the Leaky Cauldron, number one in Diagon Alley, and when David first came there it had been a dingy, dimly lit little bar, with unbearable filth everywhere.

And there were not many people there, only a few old wizards sat there talking loudly all year round.

This golden position is simply in vain!
So David gave Tom, the owner of the bar, a lot of advice and asked him to redecorate it.

Tom is also very interesting. After the business is done, he will send him gold Galleons every once in a while with an owl as his reward.

Things are looking good so far!
David nodded in satisfaction.

When David looked around the bar, Tom also noticed him, and Tom stood behind the bar and shouted loudly: "David, long time no see, would you like a drink? I just researched it."

"Okay, thanks." David returned.

The development of new drinks was also David's attention to Tom. At the beginning, Tom only had a few options on the entire menu, and most of them were alcohol. This naturally lost younger customers.

For his own taste and to earn some pocket money, David taught him how to make several drinks and asked him to learn more in other shops.

After taking the drink handed over by Tom, David looked at it. The whole thing was sky blue, with some bright little stars floating in it, constantly changing colors.

David took it to his mouth and took a sip. The liquid part had a faint blueberry flavor, and the little stars inside were small balls. He bit it lightly, and his mouth was immediately filled with the taste of chocolate and strawberry.

It's a bit like multi-flavored beans, but without those weird flavors, the taste is not bad.

"Tom, this is delicious!" David said to Tom, shaking his glass.

"Oh, that's good, do you want to try something else?" Tom said happily, as if preparing to make another cup for David.

"No, we still have to go shopping in Diagon Alley, and we'll be here later," David said.

After that, David followed Newt to a wall with a trash can.

Newt pulled out his wand and tapped a few bricks on the wall, then the wall began to shake violently, a small hole gradually appeared, and it continued to expand, and finally a wide archway appeared in front of them.

Behind the archway is a bustling street with many wizards and their children walking through it, basically students going to Hogwarts to study.

Once the two of Newt had passed through the archway, the wall behind them quickly closed and returned to its original shape, waiting for the next wizard to strike at it.

David looked around, and suddenly a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He tugged on Newt's sleeve and said, "Look, Grandpa, Professor McGonagall is also there!"

In front of them, Professor McGonagall stood in front of a small shop, frowning and pursing his thin lips. It seemed that there was something urgent, but it was difficult to leave, and he kept pacing in place.

"Professor McGonagall!" David walked up to McGonagall and hugged her gently.

"Oh, David, long time no see!" Mag's brows eased a lot, and her lips were no longer so tight. She touched David's head and said, "Have you bought all your things?"

"No, Grandpa and I just arrived here." David pointed to Newt next to him, and McGonagall greeted him with a smile.

"Then are you going to Gringotts now?" McGonagall asked, she seemed to need their help.

"Is there anything we can do to help?" Newt nodded and said.

"Oh, that's great." Mag was happy. She pointed to the three people standing beside her and said, "Can you take them with you? She is a little wizard who enrolled this year. It's her first time here. Originally I was supposed to take them there, but suddenly something happened and now I have to leave for a while."

A troubled look appeared on Mag's face.

"No problem, we'd love to," David said.

Following the direction that McGonagall pointed, he saw a couple, who stood beside Professor McGonagall a little awkwardly and solemnly. David smelled a faint smell of disinfectant on their bodies.

In front of the couple stood a little girl with brown shaggy hair and a pair of slightly large front teeth. At this time, she was staring at everything around her with bright eyes and interest.

When wizards born in Muggle families come to Diagon Alley for the first time, they will be guided by Hogwarts professors so that they will not find their way.

"Nice to meet you, my name is David Scamander." David said softly.

Before the couple could respond, the little girl in front of them held out a hand quickly and confidently: "Hello, my name is Hermione Granger, they are my parents, and we have never been together before. Knowing that there is still magic in this world, our family was surprised the day we received the notice, and my father thought it was a prank, until today Professor McGonagall went to my house and brought us here."

She finally stopped, looked around, and then said excitedly: "This is all really great!"
