Chapter 3 A Wizarding Career That Starts With A Loan

After discussing the money issue, Professor McGonagall took Levin to a nearby alley.

Laerke Orphanage is located in a remote place.

There was not a single human figure to be seen near this alley.

Levin suddenly felt something bad.

Then he heard Professor McGonagall say:

"Mr. Levin, in order to save time, we need to use magic to get to the destination. It may not be comfortable, so please bear with it."

"Okay...ok."

Levin already knew what he was about to experience.

"Then, please take my hand... Disapparate!"

Levin suddenly felt uncomfortable all over his body, as if his whole body was stuffed into the drum of a drum washing machine, and then someone chose to spin dry.

A second seems like a century.

When Levin felt his feet touch the ground again, his legs almost gave out and he fell. His stomach was churning and he almost vomited out the poor-quality bread for breakfast.

Professor McGonagall patted Levin on the back and handed him a chocolate frog.

"Sorry, Mr. Levin, how are you feeling?"

"There are a lot of new students that need to be received these days, so I have to use this way of traveling. Eat something, that way you will be more comfortable."

"No...it's okay, Professor McGonagall, I'm okay."

Put the cold chocolate frog in your mouth,

Feeling the jumping frog legs and the cold sweetness in his mouth, it immediately killed all the inferior desserts he had eaten in the past eleven years.

Sure enough, even if it's just for food and drink, you have to go to Hogwarts.

[You personally experienced apparation, and you felt painful about this way of traveling, so you understood the spell [Dimensional Anchor]]

[Space Anchor]: This spell can temporarily confine space to prevent others from using space movement spells.

Why is it that what I comprehend is not the Apparition, but the Dimensional Anchor!

Levin suddenly felt a pang of regret. If his first reaction had been enjoyment instead of nausea, maybe he would be able to master this incredible movement skill now?

But then again, the dimensional anchor imprisons all spatial movement, which is at least more useful than the anti-Apparition array that only targets [Apparition].

Levin raised his head and saw a very small facade in front of him, about one-third the size of the orphanage's door. Those who didn't know better thought it was the door of a public toilet.

On either side of the facade are a bookstore and a record store.

Compared with the colorful neon lights of its neighbors, the sign here is very retro - it's just a big wooden sign with no words on it, but a picture of a leaking cauldron, which Levin thought he could get into.

It's an eccentric and eye-catching place, but no one passing by takes a glance at it.

"So, this is our destination, the Leaky Cauldron on Charing Cross Street." Professor McGonagall explained, "This place has been cast a Muggle expulsion spell, so Muggles cannot see it."

She opened the door immediately and walked in with Levin.

The bar was a little dark inside, and the lighting was actually an oil lamp.

Levin thinks that with the brightness here, if a light ball is added, it will be like a nightclub.

Unfortunately, the wizarding world uses electrical appliances.

As a famous place, this place is really too dirty and messy. It is filled with long, square, or round wooden tables, and some wizards are drinking and chatting. They all look weird, and they are very suitable for the bar.

When they saw someone coming in, many people took the initiative to say hello to Professor McGonagall.

The bald boss behind the bar, Tom Abbott, put down his glass and waved to the two of them: "Oh, Professor McGonagall, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you here to pick up this year's new students?"

Professor McGonagall nodded: "Yes, Tom, a little wizard of Muggle birth, I took him to Diagon Alley to buy things."

"Welcome, little guy." The boss nodded to Levin again with a very friendly expression. "Look, what a great young man. By the way, my granddaughter is also a freshman this year. You will become classmates in the future."

Levin felt that this was his passive ability [Charming Humans] taking effect.

"Hello, Mr. Tom, I am Levin Green. It is an honor to be your granddaughter's classmate."

After exchanging a few words, Professor McGonagall led Levin out of the back door of the Leaky Cauldron.

There seemed to be a dead end in front of me, and a trash can was placed against the wall.

Professor McGonagall came to the wall.

"Remember how to open it." Professor McGonagall said and demonstrated: "Start from the trash can, count three pieces upward, then count two pieces horizontally, and tap it with your wand."

The next moment, the seemingly thick brick wall began to change.

"Giggle!"

The bricks began to recede and overlap, and an arched passage appeared.

A cobbled street with twists and turns and no end in sight.

Levin followed Professor McGonagall inside.

On both sides of the street are shops selling pots, animals, herbs, books and broomsticks.

Wizards dressed in different clothes walked in and out of the shops, and owls flew around in the sky...

This is Diagon Alley, the starting point of the magical world!

Levin was dumbfounded by the dazzling array of things he saw. It was much more exciting than in the movie.

Professor McGonagall smiled slightly: "Okay Levin, there will be a lot of time to surprise you in the future. Now, let's go to Gringotts first. You have a lot of things to buy..."

Professor McGonagall stepped forward and pulled Levin forward.

After walking for five or six minutes, the two came to a fork in the road, and Professor McGonagall finally stopped.

Opposite the fork in the road is a three-story white building, Gringotts.

Among the ordinary wooden buildings, this tall stone building stands out from the crowd and looks very majestic from a distance.

Of course, it's only limited to looking at it from a distance.

After walking in, Levin discovered that the white marble columns outside Gringotts were actually crooked!

It’s okay to be crooked. The worst part is that each stone pillar is crooked in its own way. Not to mention that they cannot be connected into a line, they are not even in the same direction!

For Levin, a man of science and engineering, with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, this is really sad.

He secretly vowed that if he had a chance in the future, he would reinstall it.

On both sides of the bronze gate of Gringotts, there were elf guards wearing red uniforms with gold trim.

Although they were short in stature, they looked arrogant and looked at them in a way that made him a little unhappy.

Ignoring these annoying guys, the two walked inside and saw a white and silver door with a row of eye-catching large characters engraved on it:

"Come in, stranger, but be careful what happens if you are greedy."

"If you blindly ask for something without any effort, you will be punished in the most severe way."

"If you want to take a piece of wealth from our underground vault that was never yours."

"Thief, you have been warned, be careful not to bring treasure, but evil retribution."

"How do you feel when you see this?" Professor McGonagall looked at Levin at the right time.

Levin did not show awe and say some standard comments like an ordinary little wizard, but snorted coldly:

"I only saw their lustful looks and their lustful looks."

Professor McGonagall was stunned when he heard this. It took him a long time before he nodded: "You... are right."

She suddenly discovered that the children around her were not only more mature than she had imagined, but also smarter than she had imagined.

She knew very well,

Goblins are proficient in smelting, but their concept is very greedy and special. They believe that anything they make is their own, and the fees paid to them are rent.

As long as the first owner dies, they have the right to take back their creation.

This even includes the original Gryffindor's sword.

For this reason, goblins and wizards had many conflicts and even started several wars.

But undoubtedly they all ended in the defeat of the goblin.

Don't look at the fact that goblins control the only bank in the wizarding world and are in an equal and cooperative relationship with wizards.

Facing the wizard, they felt guilty and afraid,

They are unwilling to give up their greedy and proud concepts and keep up their reputation for a long time.

But the shadow of defeat forced them to obey the wizard's rules.

This sentence is a perfect evaluation.

On the high counters on both sides of the hall, Professor McGonagall quickly took out Levin's loan.

In order to show their condescension, the goblins designed the counter to be higher than expected, even higher than Levin himself.

As a result, the chairs behind the counter are also very high.

Levin would probably have to use a small ladder to get up and down.

"Okay, Levin, you got your loan." McGonagall led Levin away from this annoying place, "The first thing to do next is to buy a wand."
