Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy Chapter 16: End of shopping

　　 After trying the wand at the Ollivander Wand Shop for so long, the sky outside has begun to darken. The sun is sinking slowly in the western sky, the originally prosperous Diagon Alley has become a little quieter, the shopping crowd has become scarce, many shops have closed their doors, and most of the shops who set up street stalls have already left.

　　Wright walked out of the wand shop, his eyes still fixed on the black wand in his hand. Just now Ollivander rejected Wright's idea of ​​paying for the wand on the grounds that the wand was not a work of his own family. Of course, Wright still paid seven Jin Jialong's money for the ebony wand that he damaged.

　　Wright raised his head, his attention shifted from the magic wand in his hand to the gradually sparse Diagon Alley street. Seeing the slowly dimming sky, Wright walked slowly back to the wall that connected Diagon Alley and Broken Cauldron Bar. After crossing the wall, Wright returned to the Broken Cauldron Bar.

　　 At this time, there are no guests in the bar. Tom, the owner of the bar, is standing behind the bar and wiping the glass in his hand with a rag. Seeing Wright walking out of the backyard, Tom said hello to Wright: "My child, how does it feel to see Diagon Alley for the first time? Did you have a good shopping today?"

　　 "I think it's pretty good! Thank you very much for your help at noon today, Mr. Tom." Wright replied, "But it's a bit late now. I want to open a room here until Hogwarts starts. So far."

　　 "No problem!" Tom put down the rag and wine glass in his hand, then walked out of the bar counter, "Right now Room 9 is still empty, I think you will be comfortable living there."

　　Tom walked ahead and led Wright up a beautiful clean wooden staircase. Then, the two stopped at the door of a certain room. A brass sign hung on the door with the number nine on it. Tom unlocked the door for Wright, and the two walked into the room together.

　　 Wright felt something wrong as early as when he was up the stairs, and the feeling of something wrong became stronger after entering the house. There is a bed that looks very comfortable in the middle of Room 8. There is also a fireplace, a window, and a mirror in the room. As for the feeling that something's wrong comes from...

　　 "Mr. Tom, can I ask a question?" Wright put down the suitcase in his hand and couldn't help but ask Tom.

　　 "Of course it's okay!" Tom replied, and smiled and handed the key to the room to Wright.

　　 "Why are the sanitary conditions on the second floor and the first floor of the bar so bad?" Yes, this is what Wright felt weird. The environment on the second floor is in sharp contrast with the dirty and dark bar downstairs. Whether from the outside or from the inside of the room, the second floor looks unusually clean and tidy.

　　 "Uh." The smile on Tom's face was stagnant. After all these years of being the owner of the Broken Cauldron, it was the first time anyone asked him about the hygiene of the bar.

　　 After a while, Tom slowly said: "The main reason is that there are too many people coming and going on the first floor of the bar, and they are very frequent. Even with the help of cleaning up magic, it still can't match the speed of people getting dirty. Over time, The sanitation situation on the first floor has become like that."

　　 Lai nodded, accepting this statement, and then Wright continued to ask: "Mr. Tom, there is one more thing. I feel a little hungry now. I think your bar should provide food, right? "

　　 "Of course!" Tom smiled and said, "For dinner, do you want to go down to eat or eat in the room?"

　　"Just eat in the room! Could you please wait for it to be delivered."

　　 "No problem, dinner will be served after a while." Tom left the room with a smile and gently closed the door of the room.

　　 After a while, Tom came up with dinner. The representative food of the British Empire, fish, chips and fish and chips, also comes with a glass of pumpkin juice.

　　After dinner, Wright lay on the bed, rubbing the wand of unknown material and unknown core in his hand.

　　" By the way, fortunately Ollivander did not receive the money for this magic wand. If it was made by his ancestors, it should have a history of hundreds of years! If you do, I don’t know the two hundred. Is Kanon enough."

　　 "But who said that the consumption level in the wizarding world is very low?" Thinking of Jin Jialong, Wright couldn't help but start calculating in his heart how much money he had left. "The suitcase and Mok's bag are thirty Jin Jialong. The magic wand is seven gold gallons, the new school uniform is six, a total of six gold gallons, the textbook 13 gold gallons, and other scattered items add up to seven gallons, that is to say, I have 137 gold gallons left. Kanon?"

　　 "I spent nearly one-third of the money on this day?" Wright couldn't help but sit up from the bed. "There is also the housing cost of the broken cauldron bar, pets, and the next month's expenses, then go to Huo Will I have fifty gallons left before Gwarts goes to school?"

　　 (Writing here, the author still can’t help but complain, Rowling’s mathematics may be really not so good! The value of Jin Jialong in the wizarding world is really hard to say... Even the purchasing power of Jin Jialong before and after the original book They are all different... The most terrifying thing is not these little bugs. The most terrifying thing is that Rowling is still eating books... As a reasonable party, I am almost dying...)

　　 But in those years in the orphanage, Wright still lived a simple life for a long time. If there is no money, it is not a big problem~ IndoMTL.com~ What's more, only the currency of the wizarding world is missing. A lot of pounds were not spent. After figuring this out, Wright lay down again.

　　 Not long after, Wright fell asleep, and only the wood in the fireplace was violently burnt in the room.

　　……

　　Wright did not expect that one day he would be able to live such a free life. During those years in the orphanage, he could never get up whenever he wanted to, eat whatever he wanted, or go wherever he wanted. Even during the summer vacation in elementary school, Wright has to be busy in the orphanage.

　　 Early the next morning, after Wright woke up at seven o'clock, he lay lazily on the bed for half an hour, which was unexpected in the orphanage.

　　 Nearly eight o'clock, Wright came out of Room Nine in a neat dress. At this time, Wright had already put on a wizard robe, after all, Muggle costumes were still too conspicuous in Diagon Alley.

　　 After enjoying breakfast on the first floor of the bar, Wright walked into Diagon Alley again. Boss Tom seemed to have listened to what Wright said last night and cleaned the first floor of the Broken Cauldron Bar, but it seemed that the effect was not obvious. At least Wright hadn't noticed any changes on the first floor.

　　 Near noon, Wright returned to the Broken Cauldron Bar. He carried two cages with both hands. In one cage was a kitten. In addition to a pair of emerald green eyes, the whole body of the kitten was They were all black; in the other cage was a raven, which was Wright's chosen messenger. Both of these pets were bought at the Fantastic Beasts store. The only thing Wright felt was that he had not seen the cat named Crookshanks today.

　　 Incidentally, one of these two pets is ten gallons, and the other is also ten gallons.
