Chapter 13: London's Oldest Pub
"Hey, you okay?" A concerned Arch looked at the kid beside him, Elliot, who seems nervous.
They are going to London now, and are already at the airport.
Elliot wasn't nervous because it his "first time" going to the Wizarding World, which Arch assumed. He was yet preparing himself to face the place that brought him death.
"O- Nervous? No... well, a little bit," with his obvious expression, Elliot just stated the truth as it would just make him embarrassed.
He prepared everything already. He had a proper goodbye to the orphanage, which probably most of them didn't care. That makes him hesitate if he should really help them or not in the future.
After that, he packed up all of his money, his available clothes, showering materials and ususl needs. And most importantly, his training materials. Included there is his own sword, suit for training, and then books. Not magic books but martial and sword arts books. It was practically useless now. He mostly mastered and if not, have memorized them already. But it's better to have it.
He gave the crucial things to his master, because it would be illegal obviously to bring a sword with him, which Arch already ordered for it to be shipped to London. Yes, London, England, as they will be going to Diagon Alley first, in the Charing Cross Road.
His master didn't have the ability of Apparition, and doesn't have Floo Powder also. So they have to get there physically.
Elliot was surprised as a wizards core is already destroyed, he's still a "wizard" no matter what. Just don't have the ability to conjure magic. Hence, his master explained that his still able to go there.
"Good morning passengers. This is the pre-boarding announcement for flight 420C to London. We are now inviting those passengers with small children, and any passengers requiring special assistance, to begin boarding at this time. Please have your boarding pass and identification ready. Regular boarding will begin in approximately ten minutes time. Thank you."
The announcement was made and Elliot gripped his fist tightly together. His already strong now, he can do this.
Arch saw this and just smiled with a bitter taste into it. Euphoria, that in this case.. this will be his last time...
The final boarding was announced and the two got going on their feet, waving goodbye with the dramatic fake crying Claude in their back.
The two laughed as they hurried up on their way.
After boarding the flight and setting off, it took some boring hours or so to the two. Elliot, now addicted to training is just calculating how much things he can do in these hours. He asked Archif he can enhance his core but was disappointedly rejected as his close contact with people might harm them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Wellbourne Airport. Local time is 1:29 PM and the temperature is 23° Celcius.
For your safety and comfort, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until the Captain turns off the Fasten Seat Belt sign. This will indicate that we have parked at the gate and that it is safe for you to move about. "
As the landing announcement was heard, the two sleeping prince wake up rubbing their eyes. It was the most uncomfortable sleep Arch had , while it has been a year long since Elliot managed to sleep in a good place so there's nothing he really noticed. Except for the bad food maybe.
The landing pressure didn't affect the two, it was just like air passing them. And after that, boom. They're now in London. Just few more rides and they will arrived at the place where Elliot always wanted to go to. Not like he actually had places to go but who cares.
The two boarded off, looking like a father and son in a luxurious family on their way to a battle.
Well, there aura is definitely something more domineering than the other people lousy ones.
If Elliot found his weakness now, it's being sick to any muggle transportation. Cars, Plane, even bike. He was just being patient when he was on board. But now he felt like puking ruining their perfect image of boarding off.
He felt dizzy but his excitement quickly got rid of it.
After some security checks, they got their baggage all ready for another ride. The weather was alright today. Good weather for exploring Diagon Alley.
As Arch has yet to know that Elliot has his past life, he will introduce him briefly into Diagon Alley to let him feel the changes. And unfortunately, he had to already go after that.

First PoV
And here, we dropped off afternoon in this lively place, and in my range of sight, I see the broken down house which is the inn half pub, completely not belonging to the modern stores beside it due to its looks. It's the Leaky Cauldron.
The Leaky Cauldron is a popular wizarding pub and inn located in London. It was the entrance to Diagon Alley and indirectly, Knockturn Alley. As I remembered, the rear of the pub opened up onto a chilly courtyard that contains the entrance to both alley ways.
I embarrassingly remembered as I first, my past life, didn't believe that I can go to the Wizarding World through that way, thinking it's some sort of prank. That's why it took some time to force the old me to go to the door. Also the first time I met Harry, where it's the start of the time I idolized him because of his fame. Bad choice really....
As now i see it, there's the door where it would lead to the pub and also inn. It's look outside, makes muggles immediately turn away. Probably why most muggles don't even try to go there.
Arch first moved and opened the door, where attached a sign "Leaky Cauldron" in fancy fonts, revealing the messy yet popular pub due to its food and as the non-wizarding world to wizarding world transportation.
I quickly followed, and there I was welcomed by the drunk people, some were reading books or just minding their own stuff, then there's the fascinated people, first timers I say.
Well, me, rather than fascinated, nostalgic feelings started popping in.
No one tooked noticed of us except the innkeeper, Tom, whom smiled at us greeting.
"New faces er'? Welcome to Leaky Cauldron guv, the oldest pub in London, I'm Tom, the innkeeper," the man let out his hands, named Tom, an old guy wearing formal butler-like clothes, a very old styled one. But that's how Wizarding World is.
"Oh, thank you, I'm.... Martin, this is my son..*cough* Faust," Arch offered his hands handshaking Tom. Was lying even needed?
I sent a confuse glare at him but his eyes says just go along with it.
"Well, you've already studied this I presume right?" Arch asked in a low voice, only for me to hear. He meant if I need more introduction to this place.
"Uh yes, up to the point I already have memorized the directions of Diagon Alley..... - and Knockturn..." I said being a confident little boyo who is proud of himself. But in truth I never studied, I just "already" know it.
"Oouoouuh, my little boy is now grown up~ Illegal things already? "
Teased Arch to me still being in the play that he's my father. I sent him cold glint shutting him up.
I just sighed, leaving him alone as I go first, going to the back where there are brick walls.
'Three up, two across'
It was the password for the brick of o remember, if not, I might just ask Arch, I tapped the bricks each clearly.
And as I tapped the last brick, it magically opened like the wall was exploded apart. And there, I take my first step to Diagon Alley.
