Harry Potter and MI6

Early the next morning, Luke sat in Bernard's car.

"Where are we going?" Luke asked curiously.

"Diagon Alley. Oh, it's the Leaky Cauldron to be precise. The passage into Diagon Alley is hidden in the Leaky Cauldron. We're going there to buy things you'll need for school."

Lu Ke took out the letter and read the contents.

"Wizards also use pounds?" Buying things must cost money, and Luke was very curious about what money the wizard spent.

"No, wizards have another currency system. Taking gold galleons as an example, one gold galleung is approximately equal to five pounds. And a wand is generally seven galleons, which is thirty-five pounds."

"It's a bit expensive..." Lu Ke, who knew how to live well, looked at the long shopping list and began to feel distressed.

"Yes, it's very uneconomical." Bernard agreed with a smile, and then said surprisingly, "But it doesn't matter, I still have some savings, after all, I am also an honorable wizard."

"Are you also a wizard?" Luke was surprised. Yesterday, his parents used the intelligence network to check Bernard's resume. It was perfect. He graduated from Oxford with a double-degree master's degree and worked as a public private secretary with Huck. This way

A lot of people actually still have the energy to be a wizard.

"Yes. Actually, I have more identities, but it's not the time to tell you yet."

There are some secrets that he still cannot access. As a child of an agent, Lu Ke understands this truth.

However, since he would tell himself the surface of this secret, it meant that Bernard would tell him more things, in a different capacity than a wizard or a personal secretary.

"Let's get off the car here." Bernard parked the car on the street. "Some wizards are not very accepting of Muggle things, so we walked over."

"Muggle?"

"Oh, just people who don't understand magic."

As the two walked along, the streets became more and more shabby, and finally they came to a dirty and small bar.

The Leaky Cauldron.

It was crowded with all kinds of wizards. If you wanted to ask for directions, how could you tell because of their strange costumes? Some even wore Saudi-style robes and wrapped their heads with cloth.

If he entered here by mistake before he knew about the existence of the magic world, Luke might think that this was some kind of circus or fortune teller club.

Bernard, who is wearing a suit, and Lu Ke, who is wearing ordinary clothes, look out of place here.

The wizards were not interested in their arrival and were still doing their own things, drinking and chatting.

Only the bar owner behind the bar looked at them a few more times. He was wearing a bartender uniform and blended in with the bar.

"Bernard? I haven't seen you for a long time. Your son is so old?" This bald old man actually knew Bernard and took the initiative to say hello.

Bernard responded politely: "Long time no see, Mr. Tom, this is my friend's child. I brought him here to buy things for school."

"Oh... of course, otherwise why wouldn't they look alike at all?"

"Mr. Tom, we want to go to Diagon Alley." Luke felt that the topic was going in a strange direction and quickly interrupted.

"Of course you want to go to Diagon Alley, go ahead, Bernard knows the way." Tom waved his hand and sent them away.

Bernard then took Luke to the backyard of the bar, an overgrown open space with many trash cans.

"Are we going to get into the trash can?" Lu Ke observed it and asked doubtfully.

"That's a good guess. All wizards should be lucky that the person who designed the entrance doesn't know you." Bernard pulled out a slender wooden stick from his arms.

"Remember this sequence, count three wall tiles on the trash can upwards, count two bricks across the bin, and tap the wall three times with your wand."

Bernard was talking and doing, tapping on the wall according to what he described.

Then the brick wall shook for a while, and the red bricks scattered around very consciously, revealing another world behind the wall.

A long street paved with cobblestones, lined with various crooked buildings, bustling with people coming and going.

"Isn't there magic that makes buildings tidy?" Before Bernard could introduce it, Luke's obsessive-compulsive disorder broke out.

"Oh, you will get used to it. Don't worry if you can't get used to it, Hogwarts is quite neat." Bernard smiled awkwardly. The wizard's architectural style was like this, what could he do.

"Come on, let's go get the money first."

After speaking, Bernard pulled Lu Ke to a tall white building. Of course, the pillars here were also crooked.

After passing the first door, the flesh-colored goblin who was the guard here saluted them, followed by the second silver door, with something like poetry engraved on it.

Lu Ke read it, it was a warning to thieves. I wonder if it would arouse some wizards' rebellious psychology.

All the people working in the hall were flesh-colored goblins, which made Lu almost laugh.

"They are goblins, very smart, and run the only bank in the wizarding world." Bernard introduced to Luke: "This can be said to be the safest place besides Hogwarts."

"That's right, Mr. Woolley, did you bring your key?" A squinting goblin looked up at them, pushed up his glasses, and recognized Bernard.

Bernard took out a small golden key and put it in the goblin's hand. The goblin looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he motioned to another goblin named Griphook to lead them the way.

Gringotts' underground vault transportation system has received bad reviews from Luke. There has never been a roller coaster that swings around so casually and doesn't know how to adjust its speed.

"Sir, this is not a roller coaster in the first place." Griphook coldly rejected the bad review.

Vault No. 791.

Bernard gave Luke a lot of gold galleons. In addition, he also brought a long box with him, considering its size and suitability for holding a wand.

After leaving Gringotts, the two purchased necessary books and equipment, ordered robes, and went to the wand shop.

The shop owner here measured Lu Ke's right arm length and other data when he came up. The level of rigor was even more rigorous than that of the robe shop just now.

The spirited little old man named Ollivander was very proud and told Luke that he remembered every wand sold and would definitely sell the customer the most suitable wand for him.

After saying that, he ran to pick through a pile of wand boxes.

Then he selected a nine-inch-long wand made of cedar wood with unicorn hair as its core. It was very elegant in appearance.

"Try it."

The old man's tone was full of confidence.

Lu Ke flicked his wand doubtfully, and a soft magic spread around, making the three of them feel peaceful.

Bernard feels a bit complicated. The fact that he chose these two materials shows that Luke's loyal character is undoubted, but for the things he wants to entrust to him, is loyalty really enough?

"Look, I'm not bragging."

Although Ollivander said this, he also understood that it was quite rare to choose the right wand at once.

"Mr. Ollivander, can I try that one again?"

Luke pointed to a wand that looked more threatening.

"Black walnut, twelve inches long, with dragon's nerve in the core." Ollivander took the wand over with the intention of giving it a try and introduced it.

Lu Ke tried waving it, and the next second, a firm wave washed through the heartstrings of the three of them.
