Chapter 2 Welcome to Diagon Alley!

Wo Bu Geng Xin
The golden light dissipated, and a card and an egg appeared in front of Luke.Luke has seen the card, and his three unforgivable curses are from the skill card.But this egg is actually the first time I have seen it.
But he still picked up the skill card first.
[Skill Card: God-Calling Guard
Introduction: Calling out the best memory in the heart to make it a patron saint, which is a symbol of a person's beauty
Note: The skill card can only be used by the host himself; please ensure that you really have a good memory before practicing this thing. 】
The corner of Luke's mouth twitched slightly. He really liked this skill. He had a good impression of this spell when he was watching a movie.But no matter whether it was the previous life or the present life, his memories are not good for the time being.
Sighing lightly, although what he wants most now is not this spell, but this one is not bad, he tore the card in his hand, and the card turned into light particles, which poured into Luke's brain from the position of Luke's temple.Luke's skill column also added the words 'Calling God Guardian Level 0 (0/1)'.
There is no way to practice contact, but I hope that after I arrive at Hogwarts, I can have some better memories to use.
Luke shook his head slightly, then looked at the egg.Holding the egg up with both hands, the information about the egg appeared in Luke's mind.
[Name: Egg of the Basilisk (Improved Version)
Introduction: This is a very special basilisk egg, so it will hatch a very strange basilisk
Note: Eggs can be hatched by placing them in the system warehouse, but they need to be taken out when hatching; the countdown to hatching is 67 days, 16 hours and 44 minutes; please keep looking forward to it :)]
Luke was really looking forward to the little guy that would hatch from this egg.After all, you have to know that the things given by the golden box last time are of high value at a glance.But this time, there is only one skill card for the summoning guardian, which obviously cannot match. In other words, the value of this egg must at least match that of Slytherin's wand.
Stuffing the egg into his own warehouse grid, and watching the countdown on it, Luke nodded in satisfaction.Even if the system doesn't give it, Te plans to get a smarter snake as his pet.Although the letter stated that owls, cats and toads were acceptable pets, there were many kinds of pets in the wizarding world. A snake should also be accepted by the professors at Hogwarts... Probably?
At dawn the next day, Luke started his morning exercises early in the morning.
As a wizard, a good body is absolutely indispensable.After all, whether it is researching potions or spells, the body must be strong enough to survive.Not to mention magizoologists who sometimes have to wrestle with magical animals...
After a simple physical exercise, Luke began to practice the spell again.
"Incendio! (Fire!)"
A large ball of fire spewed out from the tip of the wand in Luke's hand, and blasted towards a big rock not far away.The fireball hit the stone, and the fire wave submerged the whole stone.The high temperature of the flame burned the stone to the point of crackling.
After a while, the flame dissipated, the stone became scorched black, and cracks appeared, but there were no more signs of destruction.
Louis looked helplessly at the stone in front of him and his unincreased proficiency. With his own practice alone, he could only increase his proficiency with about 10 rounds of flame spells. For Luke now, it would be impossible to squeeze out all the magic power in his body. You can release 20 such full-power flame spells, but the price is that you don't have the energy to practice for the next day.So now Luke can only practice while resting, the efficiency is too low.
"You should lower the tip of your wand a little lower. When reciting the spell, the ending sound should be short and quick. Your ending sound is still too long. When reciting the spell, you should also think about the effect you want the flame spell to achieve. "
An unmistakably harsh voice came from the edge of the clearing.
Luke frowned, thought carefully, then raised his wand, pointed it at the big rock, and simulated the effect he wanted in his mind, which was of course a reasonable effect.
"Burning flames!"
This time it wasn't a fireball that came out of Luke's wand, but a cone of fire. The tip pierced fiercely into the stone and burst immediately.There was a small hole in the stone.
And the proficiency of Luke's Flame Curse suddenly increased by 3 points.It really surprised him.
But Luke quickly restrained his excitement.Turning around, he bowed earnestly to the woman over there and said, "Thank you for your guidance."
Professor McGonagall looked at the obviously polite and smart child in front of him, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Luke Gunter, I'm Minerva McGonagall, the vice-headmaster of Hogwarts, the head of Gryffindor, you can call me Professor McGonagall, I'm here to guide you in purchasing items and Some pre-enrollment guidance."
It stands to reason that Professor McGonagall's task does not include admission guidance. Keeping the academy mysterious is an unspoken rule that all adult wizards will abide by.After all, keeping kids curious and in awe of school is a good thing.
However, after Professor McGonagall really saw Luke, she also had some thoughts of her own.
Luke thanked again: "Thank you."
After finishing speaking, he got up and walked towards his wooden house, and said to Professor McGonagall while walking, "Professor, please go to the house and have a cup of coffee. Have you had breakfast? Do you want to have some together?"
Professor McGonagall didn't mean to be polite to Luke either. Now that she was preparing to get to know this strange child well, she naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity.
"Well, prepare some for me too, kid." Professor McGonagall said after Luke.
The two approached the room, and Luke pulled out a chair for the professor to sit on.He went to the kitchen and started his performance.
The magic kitchen utensils danced gracefully in the kitchen, and the raw materials were placed on the side of the pot almost in the blink of an eye.Professor McGonagall has good eyesight, but she doesn't know what will be fried when green beans, ham, rice, corn, and carrots are mixed together.
But seeing Luke's flowing movements, and the aroma that wafted from the kitchen during the stir-fry and penetrated straight into his nostrils, Professor McGonagall was full of confidence in the taste of the meal.
Luke moved quickly, and it didn't take long for him to arrive at the table with two bowls of rice.
"Yangzhou fried rice, professor, use it lightly."
As he spoke, he brought the meal in front of the professor, and handed him a spoon.Professor McGonagall looked at the delicate spoon in his hand, feeling the warm texture and the beautiful snake-shaped pattern on it, especially the magic power implied in it.Seriously, Professor McGonagall is already a well-known figure in the wizarding world.But it's really the first time to eat with this kind of spoon made of the bones of magical animals, although I don't know what kind it is...
She had never seen such a delicious food in front of her.But there is no doubt that this is definitely not British food...
"Yangzhou Fried Rice? This is..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw Luke skillfully picking up the rice and delivering it to his mouth with two small wooden sticks.
Luke heard the professor's voice, so he swallowed the fried rice in his mouth, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, Professor?"
"Have you been to Huaxia?"
Professor McGonagall asked suspiciously.
Luke shook his head and said: "No, but our family went far away, and the place we went to was the East. I learned these things from the notes they left behind. I hope what I learned is authentic enough. .”
This is half true.It is really the branch of the Gaunt family that Luke belongs to, or the main branch has really been in the East for a long time, and the fake is that these cooking skills were practiced by Luke in his previous life.After all, if a person has lived alone for a long time, he must have a little bit of these skills.
Professor McGonagall nodded. There is no way to get to the bottom of this kind of thing. Luke can do whatever he says.
So she used the spoon in her hand to put a spoonful of rice into her mouth.A feeling that can almost be described as happiness rushed straight from the tip of the tongue to my mind.The elves in Hogwarts are very good at their craftsmanship, but this is really the first time she has eaten this kind of Chinese food.
But thinking of this, Professor McGonagall asked again with some doubts: "Where's your house elf?"
But in any family with a little money, there will basically be elves, especially in the homes of pure-blood nobles, elves are basically a necessity, because in their eyes, doing housework by themselves is an insult to their blood.
From this point of view, the child in front of him really doesn't look like a pure-blooded nobleman, and it's still quite a noble family.
"He died, and I buried him and the heads that were placed on the wall before." Luke took a sip of water, and then said seriously: "That kind of thing is not a kind of honor and inheritance."
When he said this, Professor McGonagall clearly felt the pride and nobility of Luke, and even felt his contempt for the existing aristocratic traditions.
However, Professor McGonagall didn't say much, just nodded and continued to eat.Luke didn't continue to say anything, and also continued to eat.
The sun shines on the vase on the dining table, and the sunflower proudly holds its head up, reflecting the golden sunlight.
After finishing the fried rice in one breath, Professor McGonagall took a sip of water with satisfaction.Then he said to Luke who was also finished eating: "Let's go, I'll take you to Diagon Alley and buy some things you need."
Luke smiled and nodded, "Okay, Professor."
Professor McGonagall looked around, and then was about to walk towards the fireplace.
"No, Professor." Luke stopped, "My fireplace is not connected to the Floo network."
If he really connected to the Floo Network, then Luke would not ask the professor for help. After all, although he looks like a child, in fact, it is impossible for him to be old enough to buy something.
Professor McGonagall nodded. She had sensed it when she came here. There are some restrictions on apparition here, so the Knight Bus will not come here.
However, although this limitation exists, it is not difficult for a wizard of Professor McGonagall's level to break through.
But in this way, it is no wonder that the child asked the teacher for help.After all, from here to Diagon Alley.For a child, it is still a bit difficult.
But what Professor McGonagall doesn't know is that Luke's biggest worry is that he doesn't know where the Leaky Cauldron is. .Of course, it also has something to do with him not bothering.After all, at this point in time, someone will definitely take me there, and I don't need to go to great lengths to find it.
"Then come to me. I hope you can bear that feeling."
When Luke heard this, he knew that Professor McGonagall was going to take him with him to apparate.I was a little looking forward to it, but also a little worried.After all, the description of this magic in the original book cannot be called wonderful.
But he still walked over.He endured the three kneelings and the six knocks, and there was no reason why there was a problem with the last trembling.
Professor McGonagall could see Luke's anxiety, so he smiled and said in relief: "No, kid, it's not that scary. Although you won't enjoy this feeling, trust me, it's convenient enough."
Luke nodded with a smile when he heard the words, and the uneasy expression on his face was also reduced a lot.Actively grabbed Professor McGonagall's cuff.
Professor McGonagall smiled, and flicked his wand with the other hand.
"Disapparation. (Disapparation.)"
With a crisp crackling sound, Professor McGonagall and Luke disappeared from here.
Luke just felt like he was being stuffed into something, and the deep darkness and suffocating squeeze made people sick.
But still within the acceptable range.What's more, this feeling didn't last long.Almost in the next instant, he felt relaxed, and the light appeared in front of his eyes again.
"Here we are, boy, Diagon Alley."
Professor McGonagall's voice rang in Luke's ears, and there were noisy human voices in his ears.Luke opened his eyes, looked at the small but crowded street in front of him, and let out a long sigh of relief.
He has finally arrived, the world of real wizards.
But he still picked up the skill card first.
