"All these things can be found in London"
"Of course, if you know where to look"
We went into the bar, where it was dark, but not so dark that you couldn't see. I don't understand why they keep the bar in such a mess, they are magicians who can quickly clean everything up or they like it, I don't understand, but this is not my bar and I'm not going to stop there.
When Hagrid came in, the bartender said, "Hagrid, as usual?"
"No thanks Tom, I helped young Harry buy school supplies."
"My God, it's Harry Potter himself" said the whole bar fell silent and looked at me and began to come up to me to grab and shake hands and even Quirrell something but because of the stuttering I did not understand.
We went to the back room." If you count from the trash can, then three at the top and two across. The first question is why is there a trash can and what to do if you don't remember how to open it. Lane.
Everything around looked unusual and the clothes were comfortable, I don't know, maybe in winter, okay, but in summer there will be hell under a raincoat, maybe there as a summer option or are all robes enchanted?
"But Hagrid, what will I fly for all this, I have no money"
"Here's all your money" in a building that stood between the forks of the road. "The Magic Bank of Gringotts is safer, except perhaps Hogwarts", when the dark one is not the ruler, well, at least part of it is not there, there is a three-headed dog and a large snake that can kill one look, of course, I did not say it out loud.
Some of them are visited from such an angle that they are now falling. This place cannot be called flat, it can be seen from the Gringott coast, you can see the ptomusht, it was in the middle, when the road goes from two sides to the other side, because of this, especially, how uneven it is, especially chtoli. One word perfectionist nightmare.
We went to the bank, and it says devir
Come in a stranger but be careful
About what awaits the sin of greed
For those who take but do not earn must, in turn, pay dearly,
So if you're looking under copyrighted floors
Treasure that was never yours
Thief, you've been warned, beware
More than treasures appear there.
Inside, everyone was aware of something, someone was carrying some papers, someone was reading, someone was writing something. We went to the table at the end and stood in the center of the room. "Mr Harry Potter wants to withdraw money."
"Does Mr. Potter have a key?"
"Yes, somewhere I had" and takes out the key "something else Professor Dumbledore passed" and sends a letter "this is about what you yourself know that in the vault you yourself know what"
We went to the safes, went through a couple of doors and there was a trolley, as if now all this trolley with rails would fall into this abyss. When everyone entered, the trolley went quite quickly, but there was no wind and everything was stable.
We drove up to the safe and got off the trolley and approaching the door, the goblin said "Key please" and Hagrid then handed over when he would return it to be taken away. The door opened and there is GOLD a lot of gold not as much as Scrooge McDuck but I think that's enough. I thought estley magic allows you to float on solid materials like water then I could do like Scrooge McDuck and swim in the money but that's for later.
"Your father and mother did not leave you without money" so it is so but how should I take it away. "But how can I take these pockets away, my pockets are small" immediately goblin "We have such services, we can connect the wallet to your safe and you can take money immediately from the safe, we also sell wallets with extension charms, they are not connected to the safe but you can take a lot and you won't feel the whole thing." "And if it is stolen?" "Don't worry, each wallet is tied to one owner, you just need to drip blood and that's it" well, the problem of accessing money is solved.
But poor Hagrid did not keep up with our conversation and simply remained silent, then we went to storage 713. "Hagrid, what's there?" "I can't tell you Harry's Hogwarts assignment" when they opened the door, he quickly took the bundle and put it in his inside pocket. "It's better not to tell anyone about this", We went shopping.
First we went to buy robes at Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, where they quickly took me the measurements and gave me capes and we went on, bought all the potions and oh fork too heavy Hagrid, seeing this, quickly took things from my hands and carried them himself. "Hagrid a how do I carry all this to Hogwarts it's hard"
"Yes, what to do, yes, my friend and student of Dumbledore, Newt Scamander, had a suitcase with expansion spells, I know where they sell such chests, of course it's not that big, but that's enough"
We went to the store and they were selling a lot of chests and the like, a man approached us "what can I wash gentlemen, are you looking for something specific or haven't chosen yet" so that no one steals anything" the room where they stood was quite spacious, but not that you could run around.
"A suitcase with this size and enchantment of relief and not to be stolen will cost 350 galleons {I don't know the prices in Harry Potter so I said what came to mind, write the price if you want but I'm unlikely to change, I'm a lazy person}
"Ok we take" and all the things we put in the suitcase so much more convenient.
We went further and came to a bookstore, Hagrid approached the seller and said "We have books for the first year"
"Here you are" it seems that this is not the first visitor to do this under the counter and there are already many books tied with a thread, this is for those who just want to take the books and leave quite conveniently, but some customers could still buy something if they were like here.
"Hagrid I'll look around here" "Ok Harry I'll wait here"
I walked between the shelves at first all the new books and it's not interesting here, I thought that I would be lucky and find a book like the one that Snape had. Such books are all gold because there are notes from the previous masters. I went and checked some books that caught my eye and nothing it was expected that the owner of the store keeps such books for himself and sells them for much more expensive somewhere.
I was collecting and leaving but I saw a coin on the ground it was Knuts if something else had been noticed long ago and koja I leaned under the shelf I saw an old book and when I shook the dust the name "Runes from the beginning and beyond" appeared when I opened it nothing special but suddenly the letters began to float and move and a new book got up there were other words and notes appeared who made it is not clear but how to return it too. I sat for a couple of minutes and read it said about the basis of the Runes and some things, I even saw the staff, by the way there were pictures. I returned to the first page and started looking at the end it is written in such a not very legible way how to return everything to its place and the spell, after reading it everything returned like a pitchfork, but on the cover you can see the words it seems to do so, before it was not.
I took it to the counter and asked how much the seller took the book and opened it and quickly checked if there was anything from the previous owners but there was nothing one" the seller thought and "This book is saturated with stories, for two and no less"
"Good" and quickly to the chest.
"I need a wand to. "Wand? You need Ollivanders shop, go inside and wait for me, I'll be back soon"
I went inside and it's like in the movie that he was selling sticks to my parents and something else, I tried the sticks, I didn't go deep into the store and returned with a stick, it suited me and again it started that this wand was the brother or sister of the wand that killed my parents of course to me I feel sorry for them but I don't really miss them Ollivander said something but I don't listen too much out of all this Dumbledore sent him one because this wand can't fit me because I'm a different person and the consequences of everything that happened had already passed when the megalos merged with me.
From all this we will make viviod Dumbledore persuaded Ollivander to make sure that the other wands do not dry out to me, and only this one I took and found out that this was the brother of that wand. I asked how much it cost and the answer was seven galleons.
I quickly wanted to leave here when I saw Hagrid outside with a cage inside which was a snow-white owl "Happy Birthday Harry"
We spent the night in a leaky cauldron.
{I'm a bit confused if harry's birthday is july 31st but the train leaves on september 1st but hagrid was filmed at the station so i don't know if it's a magic time skip or something}
Station. Departure day
We went to the station and Haggis looked at his pocket watch, "God, Harry, how long do I have to go, Dumbledore will be waiting for him ... me, he will be waiting for me, here is your ticket, the train leaves at 10." minutes, live carefully, do not miss the train"
I look at the ticket, it says London-Hogwarts one way.
Platform 9 3/4
When I looked up, Hagrid was gone, how did he disappear so quietly?
Well, the first year of Hogwarts is about to begin.
