Log In to The Old Man Ring At Hogwarts at the Start

The next morning, Zicomo was awakened by Hermione's knock on the door.

"Damn, how could I have such a dream!"

"Cousin, wake up! The professor at Hogwarts is here."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

When Zicomo dressed up and went out, he found a niang in a dark green robe and a black witch hat sitting on the sofa in their living room.

Well, it's hard work for Professor McGonagall. Dumbledore sat in the office every day fishing for fish, Snape looked like he owed him money to everyone, Professor Flitwick was small and sensitive, and Sprout devoted himself to farming in the greenhouse.

There was only one vice-principal at the huge school, who was working on the admissions of young wizards from Muggle families.

What? Did you say Hagrid?

That was the treatment of Harry Potter, who was the protagonist.

"Good morning, Mr. Zicomo Granger, I'm the Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts, Minerva McGonagall. You can call me Professor McGonagall." Professor McGonagall spoke first.

"Good morning, Professor McGonagall," Zicomo responded.

"Very well, the staff is here, so do you have any questions to ask next?"

Hearing this, Mr. Granger asked aloud, "Professor McGonagall, can you show us some magic."

Professor McGonagall, while a little surprised that the Grangers didn't suspect magic, didn't ask.

She raised her wand and waved at the teacup on the table, which turned into a lively kitten, sitting there licking its paws.

The Grangers were stunned by the magic of magic.

"Wow! Professor McGonagall, can I learn this magic?" Little Loli Hermione couldn't wait to ask Professor McGonagall.

"Certainly, boy. It's Transfiguration, and you'll learn it in my class."

"Then, remember, this is the address to Diagon Alley..."

"Goodbye, boys, and I'll go to the next little wizard's family and explain the situation to them. See you at Hogwarts."

Just after saying goodbye to Professor McGonagall, Hermione asked the Grangers to go to Diagon Alley.

The little witch is eager to learn about this magical wizarding world.

Today is the weekend, and the couple made some calculations. Anyway, there is nothing to do today, so they decided to go to the bank to withdraw money first, and then went straight to Diagon Alley.

…………

The Leaky Cauldron is located between a bookstore and a record store.

When the Grangers came here, the two adults looked confused because they couldn't see the bar at all.

That's because the Muggle Banishment Charm was cast here.

When Zicomo and Hermione each pulled one person into the bar, they got a glimpse of the wizarding world.

The bar looks very dark and shabby, with a bar and a few tables in the shadows of the corners.

Hermione had a look of disgust on her face, and it was clear that her first impression of the wizarding world was not a good one.

As expected, Zicomo also didn't like the environment of the bar, he was a little bit clean.

He didn't understand why it had to be so messy when a problem that could be solved with a clean-up and a new one had to be done. As the entrance of Diagon Alley, it can be said that it is half the facade of Diagon Alley, and they don't even want to add a few more lights.

Is it to create a sense of mystery for wizards?

Led by pub owner Tom, they entered Diagon Alley and headed straight to Gringotts.

That's the only bank in the wizarding world in England, and it's another mystery for Zicomo: Why do wizards entrust their money to a group of goblins that look like goblins?

And this bloody currency exchange system, 1 gold Galleon is equal to 17 silver West can be equal to 493 copper nut, do they think the decimal system is not easy to use?

Looking at the 100 gold Galleons in his hand, Zicomo was thinking about the feasibility of taking two out and selling them back.

After all, a gold Galleon is bigger than a one-dollar coin in a previous life.

And a dollar coin weighs nearly 10 grams, even if Jin Galleon is twice his weight, then it is 20 grams of gold.

The exchange rate of 1 gram of gold is 15 pounds (subject to the author's setting), which means that a gold Galleon can be exchanged for 300 pounds.

This means that as long as he sells two gold Galleons, he can earn back the money in exchange for gold Galleons.

This can't help but make Zicomo feel that in some ways, wizards are really simple, and having magic power allows them to solve problems with the wand in their hands most of the time, instead of fighting like ordinary people.

The original text did not mention the education of wizards before going to school, but Zicomo estimated that the poorer would teach at home, and the richer would hire a tutor, and ordinary people would have two worlds.

Perhaps influenced by Zicomo, Hermione's first visit was not her favorite bookstore, but Ollivander's wand shop. She is now more interested in wands than magic textbooks.

The four came to Ollivander's wand shop, which had a slogan written on it.

[Excellent wands have been made since 382 BC. 】

"Welcome to Ollivander's Wand Shop. Oh! New face, hello, my name is Ollivander."

"Are the two first-year wizards here to get their wands?"

This generation's owner, Garrick Ollivander, stood at the counter watching the four who had just entered.

His voice is soft, it sounds very comfortable, and it is easy to make people feel close.

"Hello, Mr. Ollivander. You have a wonderful voice," Zicomo responded.

"Oh! Thanks, handsome boy. You're the first kid to say that."

"So, who's going to get the wand first?" Ollivander said.

"Ladies first." Zicomo turned sideways, letting Hermione step forward.

The ruler on the counter flew out automatically, taking Hermione's various measurements.

Zicomo wondered what the body size had to do with wand fit. But he felt that Ollivander was quite a craftsman.

After all, he sells a wand for 7 Galleons. This looks like a losing business.

Don't tell me that it may be expensive for a wizard to buy a second wand. Look at how many people in the wizarding world use a wand for a lifetime.

It is mentioned in the original book that a unicorn tail hair can be sold for 10 Galleons in the black market.

And some wand cores are the nerves of the dragon's heart, which doesn't sound cheap.

Of course, the possibility that one material can make many wands is not ruled out, but Ollivander often talks about "every wand is unique". So this inference is no longer valid.

Or maybe they made their money selling wand care items?

Hermione had already chosen her wand just as Zicomo was thinking about it.

Exactly the one familiar from the movie: the vine wood, the dragon's nerve wand core, thirteen and three-quarters inches, full of power and fond of following a wise master.

"Boy, it's your turn."

Ollivander's voice brought Zicomo back to reality.

Watching the tape measure flying around him measuring various data, Zicomo couldn't help asking:

"Mr. Ollivander, what is the use of measuring these data?"

"Ah... just select a specific range based on your body data, and look for a wand that suits you within this specific range." Ollivander looked at the data recorded by the quill pen and replied.

"How exactly?" Zicomo pressed.

"Sorry, I can't tell you the specifics. This is the secret of the Ollivander family. You can understand that this is a kind of divination related to numbers."

"Okay, thank you for your answer."

Seeing that Zicomo was no longer questioning, Ollivander turned and walked towards the shelf where the wands were kept.

"A rare oriental face, let me think about it."

He took a wand from the shelf behind him and handed it to Zicomo.

"Cypress body, unicorn tail, eleven inches, try it."

Zicomo took the wand and put the magic power into the wand, and the head of the wand suddenly burst into black smoke, as if it was about to break.

Ollivander snatched it quickly.

"It doesn't seem to suit you."

After that, I took several more from the shelf, and each one was in the same condition.

In fact, it was Zicomo that was surreptitiously disrupting the delivery of magic power.

He found that most of the wands here only have the effect of guiding magic power. Once the guidance of the magic wand is disturbed, the magic wand will stop working.

The simple advantage of this is that once wizards get their wands, they can use them to wash the wands into their own shape with magic. In short, it's a matter of fit.

This is why the magic power of a wizard using someone else's wand will be greatly reduced.

Zicomo estimates that only a few wands made of special materials have some special magical properties.

"Try this one, yew body, dragon heartstring core, fourteen inches. Yew is a very rare wooden shell that is said to give the user the power of life and death." Ollivander again Takes out a wand.

Zicomo didn't disturb the magic this time, he loosened the control of the magic and waved it gently.

The top of the wand spurted out a silvery white moonlight.

"Looks like he likes you, picky little wizard. Treat him well, a wand is a wizard's best friend."

"Thank you, we will."

Zicomo and Hermione smiled at each other and left the wand shop after paying. *
