driagon alley

'It's almost time to meet with Professor McGonagall. I'd better get dressed up a little,' he thought after returning from training.

our young mc to start dressing with black pants and a black button-down shirt all custom made although certainly due to the fact that he was 1.40m tall at the age of 11 it would seem that he was a little older

""Well I just need a few pounds to change them, with this I should be ready to go to Driagon Alley"

After a few minutes you would hear the door 'it seems that he has arrived' thus opening the door to let McGonagall in.

"Okay, young Youngstar, hold your arm, we look alike at the entrance to Driagon Alley where we will do the material shopping."

Nodding, he grabbed her wrist, to which a whirlpool sucked him in. It seemed like he was passed through a small tube, but after a moment he felt like he was on solid ground.

"Ugr I feel like my stomach is turning, next time I better take the subway or walk" he said realizing that he was in front of a pub with a leaky cauldron sign

"I don't know, worry, young Youngstar eventually gets used to the magical way of traveling, although now we find ourselves in the Leaky Cauldron.",it's on Charing Cross Road you just need to remember that it's between a bookstore and a record store"

Sighing to recover he replied "let me guess this place is the entrance to driagon alley"

" "You're right, let's go in." As they entered they found some magicians drinking and chatting, although the bartender spoke.

""Oh Minerva, it's good to see you, I guess he's a first year student," he said, already accustomed to this view over time.

"Yes Tom, now come Henry, the door is this way"

"Goodbye Tom, nice to meet you"

"Lo que tú digas chico suerte con los estudios "

Thus reaching the back of the premises where there is a wall with a trash can.

"Well you're going to need to remember what I'm going to say because it's the way to enter Driagon Alley, from the trash can, three up and two on the side" The wall first transforms into a small hole that then forms a large arch

"I hope you remember it, although in any case you can ask Tom for help, but preferably don't forget it."

"I don't know, worry, Professor McGonagall, my memory has been good since I was young." One good thing I got is my memory, apparently a compensation for not having a golden finger.

"That's good to hear, come let's go to Gringotts it's the only magical bank, you need to exchange muggle money for galleons, Sickle and Knut the currency of the wizarding world"

"Wow" is the only thing that came out of my mouth when I saw what was in front of me

Under a tall and impressive façade covered in white marble, large burnished bronze doors lead behind some stairs.

The stairs are flanked by an elf on each side, uniformed in gold and scarlet

~Come in, stranger,

But beware what the sin of greed awaits,

because those who take,

but they don't win

They must pay dearly in turn,

so if you search under our floors for a treasure that was never yours,

thief,

you have been warned,

Be careful to find more than treasure there~

'No doubt the book doesn't do this place justice' I thought as I followed the teacher until we arrived with a goblin.

"Good morning, we have come to exchange muggle money," Minerva said to an elf behind the counter.

"Go to the window on the left, wizard," he said his words without much interest because the muggle currency had no value for them.

Apparently it was common for the Gringotts elves to talk like that but I told him anyway

"Thank you, have a good day, may your vaults always be full of gold" something that apparently surprised him a little but I didn't give it any importance as we headed to the window.

Minerva, when she was in front of the goblin, said directly "good morning, we have come to exchange muggle coins."

"Oh yes of course the maximum that can be exchanged is 100 galleons per year to Muggle students in regards to 1 galleon equal to £5 pounds, how many galleons do you want to get"

'It's cheaper than I expected, I guess it's a deal with Howards so that half-bloods and muggle-borns can live until they have a job.'

"It would be 100 galleons please," I responded, handing him £500 pounds.

He just gave me a look, took the money and took out a small bag without saying a word.

Which I took and reviewed briefly although after all I'm sure he wouldn't try to scam me with McGonagall present.

""Okay, with this ready, time to buy what we need," said Minerva, leaving Gringotts, although I stopped for a moment to say goodbye to the elf.

after all they handled all the money so it's good to be on positive terms

'Manners make the man' I thought, a little amused by my inside joke.

We advanced at a fast pace to what looked like a clothing store which bore the name of

Madame Malkin's robes, where just by entering they served us

""Minerva, I suppose he is a first-year student, come young man, don't worry, we just need to take your measurements and everything will be ready in a few minutes."

And he certainly didn't lie since just ten minutes later we had already ended up paying him 3 galleons for the tunics.

And we arrived at Olivander, apparently the teacher knew that it could be late so she told me to give her some of the money and the list of supplies needed she would buy the remaining materials while I got the wand it seemed it usually took a bit of time

'Well, Henry, remember, don't expect to get a strange wand that no one recognizes, it's impossible for that to happen and if it does, pray that it doesn't cause future problems.'

Thus giving way to enter Ollivander
