Mr. Wick, may I come in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing a character from the book for the first time, John snapped back to reality and flashed a bright smile, inviting Professor McGonagall inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John's parents, still in disbelief, exchanged glances, wondering if their child had hired someone to play a prank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With suspicion, the couple sat on the sofa while Professor McGonagall took a seat on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John, the main character of this visit, ended up acting as a tea-serving servant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once seated, Watson Wick was the first to speak. \"Are you really a worker from Hugwarts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression and words were full of doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>McGonagall had seen countless such parents, so she wasn't offended. She calmly corrected his terminology, saying, \"It's Hogwarts, and to be precise, I'm a professor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The couple looked at John simultaneously, murmuring internally if their son wasn't lying after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John put on an innocent face, thinking, \"I told you it's true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watson wasn't so easily convinced. Changing his posture, he leaned forward slightly, gesturing with his hands and speaking with a skeptical tone, \"So, my son is a wizard? Are you going to take the hairs from freshly dead corpses and nail black cats to other people's doors?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such arrogant and doubtful words were indeed not very friendly. Even McGonagall frowned and sternly said, \"Mr. Wick, only muggles trying stupid black magic would do such things. Hogwarts is a true school of magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watson realized his words had gone too far, but he still found it hard to believe so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>McGonagall knew that it wasn't easy for Muggle families to accept a wizard in the family, so she drew her wand and waved it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teacup Watson was holding turned into a rat, which ran up his sleeve, causing him to scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John, seeing magic for the first time, especially such advanced Transfiguration, couldn't help but feel excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this incident, Watson fully believed what John had been saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how skilled a magician was, it was impossible to turn a cup into a rat across a tea table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, after seeing McGonagall off, Watson became a curious baby;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"John, can you turn the cup into a rat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"John, make the broom sweep the floor by itself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"John, can you ride a broom and fly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"John...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John was overwhelmed by his father's incessant questions.

It's where Harry's dream began and the gateway to Diagon Alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dingy, narrow pub also had a loud name, the Leaky Cauldron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before entering the pub, the beautiful Mrs. Wick expressed her concern, \"John, you're still a child; you can't enter a pub and have drinks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John reassured her, saying he definitely wouldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was hard to like such an environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the Leaky Cauldron, the mixture of sweat and sour beer created a peculiar smell that made the family of three wrinkle their noses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had thought the outside was messy enough, but the inside was even more shocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John was curious how these wizards could tolerate such a smell, especially the guy with the turban on his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the pub's smell was rated 100, that person contributed at least 60.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald-headed owner came out from behind the bar, seeing the attire of the family of three, he knew what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come along, you're costing me a few Knuts just standing here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The money-grubbing owner grudgingly made way, his words showing his displeasure, which made Mrs. Wick think wizards were indeed rude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the owner's guidance, the family of three arrived at the entrance to Diagon Alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Leaky Cauldron's owner demonstrated the entrance method, \"Count three bricks up from the trash bin, then two bricks horizontally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he tapped the wall, the once solid brick wall separated, revealing the path to the magical world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is magic...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John was awestruck, as if scenes from two different worlds had appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he recalled this moment in the future, it would always remain vividly memorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, could you let me through?\" a gruff voice sounded from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge figure, standing at least three meters tall, came into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wearing an oversized mole-skin coat, exuding a smell that was hard to determine whether it was from beasts or too long without a bath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to the giant was a small boy who looked severely malnourished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His oversized clothes made him appear even more frail, and beneath his round glasses, his beautiful green eyes peeked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing the lightning-shaped scar under the boy's hair, John immediately recognized his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, he had read Harry Potter, and though it had been over a decade, such a distinctive combination was hard to miss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Boy Who Lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hagrid and Harry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John mumbled their names, while his parents were too shocked to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning a cup into a rat was already astonishing, but Hagrid's obviously inhuman height frightened them even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the giant and the boy disappear into the distance, John pulled himself back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he wanted to get closer to them, it was clearly not the right time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still had a lot of shopping to do, but before that, he needed to visit Gringotts for some currency exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skipping over the confusing exchange rates at Gringotts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wick family had a decent income.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watson Wick was a manager at one of the Continental Hotel's chains, and Mrs. Wick ran a beauty salon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They spent 2000 pounds to exchange for 400 Galleons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John recalled the greedy, cunning expressions of the goblins at the counter, feeling like his family had been ripped off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, they now had the funds for shopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring Watson's constant muttering about showing off the Galleons to his friends, the family started shopping in Diagon Alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing dragon liver, the foodie inside John felt tempted to buy it for a taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, for Mr. and Mrs. Wick, it was just a pile of bloody liver they wanted to avoid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Flourish and Blotts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watson almost lost a finger to the biting \"The Monster Book of Monsters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John bought all the books on his list, and a few extra on the magical world. The thick \"Hogwarts: A History\" was particularly hard to put down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Malkin was a short, plump witch, but her smile was very infectious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was very pleased with John, saying he was born to be a clothes horse. Every outfit fit him perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he left, Harry arrived here and met the spoiled child, Draco Malfoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cauldron Shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John worked hard to convince Watson not to buy a self-stirring cauldron for collection, as it would make a mess in the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Watson thought it might make a great stew pot. When he mentioned putting it in the kitchen, Mrs. Wick decisively shut down the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apothecary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The family was grossed out by the strange items floating in jars.
