Chapter 22: Heading to Diagon Alley [Please follow]

"Haha, bird's nest hair, you have to pay attention to your image when you go out, Chu Yang!" Sprout waved the wand in her hand and combed Chu Yang's messy hair neatly.

"You didn't give me time to organize, Professor." Chu Yang shrugged and defended innocently.

"Go downstairs for breakfast quickly, we have a lot of things to buy today." Sprout turned and went downstairs, her heavy body making a tooth-aching sound when stepping on the wooden stairs.

Chu Yang followed behind her, keeping a certain distance, for fear that the other party would break the stairs with one foot.

Bread, jam, milk, sausage, a very classic four-piece set.

The breakfast provided by the Leaky Cauldron is not delicious, at most it is just to fill the stomach, but Chu Yang still ate everything in the bowl clean.

Children from orphanages never waste food.

After the two finished eating, they left from the back door of the Leaky Cauldron and were blocked by a wall after a few steps. Chu Yang was a little excited. He knew that the other side of the wall was Diagon Alley, symbolizing the real magic world.

"The third brick above the trash can, count two more bricks to the side, remember, then knock three times, and the passage to Diagon Alley will open."

Sprout took out her wand and knocked on the brick three times. The wall in front of her seemed to come alive, constantly flipping to both sides, and a mysterious world unfolded in front of Chu Yang.

Sprout led the way in the front.

Then she introduced everything about this alley to Chu Yang.

"Besides the entrance at the back door of the Leaky Cauldron, there are two other ways to reach Diagon Alley. One is the Apparition I cast before, and the other is Floo Powder."

"But the casting requirements for Apparition are very high, and ordinary wizards are difficult to master. Generally, only professor-level wizards like me can cast it calmly."

"The usage method of Floo Powder is relatively simple, and the price is not expensive. Two silver Sickles per spoon is the first choice for many wizard families."

Sprout pointed to the fireplaces on both sides of the street and explained, "Only fireplaces connected to the Floo Network will work with Floo Powder. The usage method is very simple. Just take a spoonful of Floo Powder, stand in the fireplace, clearly say the place name, and then sprinkle the Floo Powder."

Speaking of this, Sprout suddenly turned around and looked at Chu Yang seriously, "Remember, when saying the place name, you must speak clearly, otherwise, the consequences will be very serious, understand?"

Chu Yang replied, "Saying the wrong name will teleport people to strange places, right?"

"Not only that, some people teleported themselves into the wall because they said the wrong place name and died on the spot." Sprout sighed, "I don't want to see your name on the accidental casualty list, Chu Yang."

Hearing this, Chu Yang nodded silently.

Afterwards, Sprout took Chu Yang to a robe shop to tailor three robes, pointed hats, protective gloves, and winter cloaks for Chu Yang.

There is also a cauldron for Potions class. For pets, Chu Yang chose an owl, and he could only choose an owl. Who would choose a toad or a mouse?

This is something Sprout does every year, familiar with the road, and prepared most of the supplies that should be prepared in the blink of an eye.

All expenses are borne by Hogwarts.

Now only the wand is left! Sprout and Chu Yang came to a wand shop that looked very old.

Ollivander!

"Welcome, Professor Sprout! Chestnut wood, unicorn hair, ten and two-thirds inches long, you look dusty, did you just come back from somewhere?"

The old man with the same hairstyle as Einstein slid down from the slide and finally crossed the wand boxes piled up everywhere to come to Sprout.

Sprout smiled and responded, "Hello, Mr. Ollivander, your memory is as excellent as ever." "Of course, I remember every wand sold from here and its owner." Ollivander raised his head proudly, then glanced at Chu Yang, "Is this little wizard here to buy a wand?"

Sprout explained, "He is a freshman at Hogwarts this year."

"Congratulations on entering Hogwarts to study, that is the best school in the world, believe me, you will have a bright future!" Ollivander blinked, then waved his wand and said, "I'll measure your body first, please don't move around."

Afterwards, a set of measuring tools began to walk on Chu Yang's body surface under the control of Ollivander's magic power.

To be honest, Chu Yang didn't understand what the relationship between choosing a wand and body measurement was? Even the distance between the eyes and nose had to be measured.

"Every wand is unique. Its characteristics depend on the magical biological characteristics of the wood source of the wand and the wand core. In addition, after each wand finds an ideal owner, it begins to teach its characteristics and learn the characteristics of the holder."

"The wand and the user complement each other. Wands of the same material will also grow into wands with completely different characteristics after meeting completely different owners."

During the conversation, Ollivander had completed the measurement of Chu Yang and began to look for a suitable wand for him.

"Which hand is the dominant hand?"

"Right hand!"

Ollivander bent down and rummaged through the pile of wand boxes, finally handed a dusty wand box to Chu Yang, and blew gently.

"Cough, cough, cough." Chu Yang coughed while taking the wand box from Ollivander and pulled out the wand inside.

"Aspen wood, dragon heartstring, ten inches, wave it gently in your hand, remember, be gentle."

Listening to Ollivander's instructions, Chu Yang waved the wand in his hand gently, and an invisible impact scattered, directly overturning the cabinet behind Ollivander.

Sprout took a few steps back, stood at the door of the wand shop, and let out a long breath while holding her chest.

Ollivander was startled, and didn't forget to complain, "Very powerful magic power, young man, but it doesn't suit you!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ollivander." Chu Yang hurriedly changed the wand back. He was startled by the movement just now.

He forgot that because of the existence of the Soul Palace, his talent in all aspects was far beyond ordinary people.

"It's okay, child, this kind of thing happens from time to time, although it's rare to have such a big movement like you..."

Ollivander turned around and rummaged through the shelves again, muttering, "Maybe it's because you have Eastern blood, I have to find you some wands from your hometown."

Generally speaking, there are three materials Ollivander uses to make wand cores: phoenix tail feather, unicorn hair, and dragon heartstring.

It's not that there are no other materials, but Ollivander only uses superior materials. This is his rule for making wands.

Therefore, in addition to the three commonly used materials, Ollivander will also try to find some rarer materials to make wands.

Finally, Ollivander took out another dusty wand box.

In a word, please follow, it's on the recommendation list, brothers!!
