Hogwarts: I am Harry's Cousin

Chapter 29 29. Vernon: I hope the exchange rate will not be too high

"I didn't expect this scarf to match you quite well."

Hermione stepped forward, looking at the scarf tied around Dudley's neck, her face flushed slightly.

"I like things very much." Dudley touched the scarf and said softly.

Harry, who was standing behind the two, heard their conversation, and suddenly realized that the girl was the Gossip Heart he saw in the classroom at that time, and suddenly burned.

"I didn't expect you to be a student there too. I thought it would be boring if you weren't here in the future."

That domineering little hen is now like a little quail, talking softly.

Petunia and Mrs. Granger followed behind the two of them, chatting about something. As for Vernon and Mr. Granger, they were already discussing when to go fishing again.

"Gentlemen and ladies, don't forget that we have business to do, and I think it's time to go."

Professor McGonagall saw that several people chatted endlessly, so he cleared his throat.

It wasn't until the crowd realized that they apologized to Professor McGonagall. At the same time, they also understood that there was a little wizard in the other's family, so they quickly congratulated him.

"It's okay, since you know each other, it's much more convenient."

Professor McGonagall is not a rigid person. Since the two parties know each other and have a close relationship, it is easier for her to bring her along.

Now that he has received someone, he will set off for the magical world. The destination this time is a bar.

There is the entrance to the magical world of magic.

Of course, I still take a car. There are really no wizards near the St. Johnswood community, and there are not even Muggle wizards within a radius of ten kilometers. The wizard family named Johnson mentioned by Professor McGonagall had already moved five years ago.

After all, this is a commercial street for Muggles and belongs to the downtown area, so self-proclaimed noble wizards naturally don't like this noisy environment.

After parking the car, a group of people came to a dirty and small bar on the side of the London street.

"Oh, this bar really looks old."

Vernon frowned and looked at the dirty signboard, even if he was invited to drink for free in this kind of small dilapidated tavern, he wouldn't go in.

The Grangers frowned at the same time.

Only Petunia looked at the interior of the tavern through the dim glass with great interest, perhaps because the glass hadn't been cleaned for too long, and Petunia still couldn't see the situation inside clearly.

In this regard, Professor McGonagall has long been familiar with it, and took out his wand and waved it in front of several people.

'Huh? ’ Vernon touched his forehead.

The feeling of resistance to not wanting to enter was dispelled.

"There is a spell here, most Muggles can't see it, and even if they see the heart, they are repelled from entering." Professor McGonagall explained simply.

The Muggle Repelling Curse can expel Muggles so that ordinary people will not step into this place.

It is said that the determined are immune to this magic.

"Lily mentioned it to me before, but I didn't expect the Leaky Cauldron to be here."

Petunia's exclamation made Professor McGonagall give her an extra look.

Accompanied by the crisp bell, the dirty door was slowly pushed open.

When entering the interior of the tavern, everyone only felt that their eyes brightened.

The interior of the tavern is much wider than it looks from the outside, at least ten times larger.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a universe in one sentence.

A few strangely dressed guests sat on the sparse tables. The robes and top hats looked very similar to Professor McGonagall's current attire. Several old women were sitting in a corner drinking sherry from small glasses, and one of them was smoking a long pipe. A little man in a top hat was talking to a barkeeper who was almost bald and looked like a blunted walnut.

The moment they entered the door, their chirping voices suddenly stopped, and they all cast friendly glances when they saw Professor McGonagall.

"Professor McGonagall, hello. Is this a freshman at Hogwarts?"

The tone of the barkeeper was very respectful.

Professor McGonagall just nodded to them politely, and led them across the bar to a small courtyard surrounded by walls. Mr. Granger and Vernon really wanted to order a wizard-specific drink, but Professor McGonagall's serious attitude made them hold back.

"I only demonstrate once, please remember."

Professor McGonagall took out his wand and tapped three times on a spot on the wall.

Then a miraculous scene happened. The brick he knocked on shook and began to move. A small hole appeared in the middle, and the hole became bigger and bigger. After a while, a wide archway appeared in front of them, leading to A winding cobbled street with no end in sight.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Diagon Alley."

Not long after they had crossed the archway, there was a solid wall behind them.

"It's amazing." Mr. Granger couldn't help but let out an admiration.

Mrs. Granger and Vernon also looked at the surrounding scene very curiously, not to mention Harry and Hermione, who looked around, and even Dudley unconsciously looked around for a while.

Both sides of the road are full of all kinds of shops, including crucible shops, quill shops, material shops, pet shops, parchment shops, and herbal medicine shops. Wizards come and go between these shops. The traffic is not much worse than that of ordinary people's business districts, so it's so lively.

Diagon Alley can be said to be the commercial street of the wizarding world.

The daily necessities that little wizards need to study at Hogwarts are basically purchased here.

Apart from Professor McGonagall, the only one who is calm is probably Penny. She said to Professor McGonagall calmly, "Professor McGonagall, I think we should exchange some wizarding world money first."

Neither the Grangers nor the Dursleys had a single piece of Nat's wizarding world currency on hand.

"Almost forgot, we have to go to Gringotts first."

As he spoke, he led the crowd towards the central block.

"I don't know if I have enough."

On the way, Dudley heard Vernon muttering in a low voice, Vernon's right purse was bulging, full of pounds.

It was taken out by Vernon at the bank the night before.

Everyone came to a tall, snow-white building with European medieval style, and directly in front of it was a shiny bronze door that had been rubbed.

"This is Gringotts."

Professor McGonagall introduced it like this, then pointed to the attendants in front of the gate and said, "Those are goblins."

Looking in the direction she pointed, I saw a few short creatures with pointed ears standing in front of the gate.

The Grangers and Vernon looked curious. It was the first time they had seen such a creature that was different from humans.

"Let me remind you first, don't get too entangled with these goblins."

"Goblins are famous in the wizarding world for being greedy. They will do anything for money."

Hearing what Professor McGonagall said, Vernon unconsciously tightened his pockets, feeling more and more that he didn't have enough money.

‘Hopefully the exchange rate is not too high. ’ thought Vernon.

With such a mood, several people stepped into the gate of Gringotts.
