Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Welcome To The Magical World
The next morning, sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains and sprinkled into the house.
After enjoying breakfast, Ye Ting picked up a newspaper and sat on the soft sofa to read it leisurely.
He didn't plan to go out to perform magic today.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the doorbell of the apartment rang hurriedly.
Ye Ting opened the door, but saw that there was no one outside the door, only an empty corridor.
Just as he was puzzled, a tabby cat appeared in his sight.
In a blink of an eye, the cat turned into a lady in her fifties or sixties. She had a serious face, and her eyes behind the square glasses revealed majesty. She wore a green cloak and a tall wizard hat on her head, a standard image of a witch.
Although she had already recognized the uninvited guest, Ye Ting still showed just the right amount of surprise on her face:
"Good morning, ma'am, how can I help you?"
"Hello, Ye Ting. I'm Minerva McGonagall, you can call me Professor McGonagall. I sent a letter yesterday to inform the purpose of my visit today." Professor McGonagall introduced herself and looked at the well-dressed and handsome young man in front of her.
The image of this child seemed a little different from the orphan in her mind.
"Ah, it turns out to be Professor McGonagall. I'm sorry. Please come in." Ye Ting warmly invited her into the apartment.
Linnet heard the noise and came over curiously, sniffing gently at Professor McGonagall's feet.
"Meow?"
This biped smelled like a "cat".
"Be polite, Linnet," Ye Ting reminded her, "This is our guest today, and perhaps also my... future professor."
After entering the house, Professor McGonagall looked around.
The decoration in the house is very lifelike. There are not many things, but most of them have traces of use.
She nodded secretly. It seems that this young man has a decent life.
"Professor McGonagall, what would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?"
"A cup of tea, thank you."
Ye Ting snapped his fingers, and a flame instantly ignited under the kettle on the stove - the gas on this stove was not turned on at all.
Soon, the water in the kettle boiled. Ye Ting poured the water into the teapot, and wiped it casually. A bag of tea appeared in his hand, which he also put into the teapot.
Professor McGonagall was dazzled by this series of operations. She asked tentatively: "It seems that you have deeply experienced... the charm of magic?"
"So you call this magic. I always thought it was my superpower." Ye Ting brought the brewed tea to Professor McGonagall and said with a smile.
"Your talent is amazing, child."
Ye Ting's performance made Professor McGonagall like him more and more, and his attitude became more amiable.
"So, have you always lived here alone?"
"Yes, ever since I discovered my... um, magical ability, I was afraid of being discovered and treated as a monster, so I left the orphanage and rented this house by myself." Ye Ting said the lie he had prepared long ago.
Professor McGonagall nodded, blew the hot steam on the tea gently, took a sip and said: "Then, Mr.
Ye, I will take you to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies now...
I have to hurry up, in addition to you, I have to take another little wizard who is about to enter the school into the magic world today."
"Okay, Professor McGonagall, please wait, I will go and prepare."
In fact, he didn't have much to prepare, after all, all his belongings were placed in the magic bag.
The effect of making a magic bag is similar to the [Space Extension Spell], which is the ability of the Eye of Linni God.
Therefore, he simply put on a cloak and a hat.
Of course, it was not the gorgeous hat he wore during performances, but an ordinary beret.
Since he obtained [Eye of God·Black-spotted Cat], he has developed the habit of wearing a hat. "Then, let's go now."
Professor McGonagall stretched out a thin hand, "Come, hold my hand tightly."
Ye Ting did as he was told, holding Professor McGonagall's forearm tightly, and Linnett lightly got into his cloak.
Then there was a bang, and Professor McGonagall activated [Apparition].
Ye Ting felt the world around him suddenly fall into darkness, and the pressure from all directions made it almost impossible for him to breathe, as if he was stuffed into a narrow rubber tube--Finally, he broke free from the suffocating bondage, and the dirty air rushed into his lungs, bringing a long-lost coolness.
Linnett also seemed a little listless, lying softly on Ye Ting's shoulder.
After coming to his senses, Ye Ting found himself standing at the door of a bar.
This bar was sandwiched between a bookstore and a record store. It was small and slightly shabby, and looked like an inconspicuous side door of a bookstore. The only thing that caught his attention was the unique door plaque.
An iron rod protruded from the door plaque, and a wooden sign was hung on it. There was no text engraved on the sign, but a huge pot with a leaky bottom was drawn.
With a crisp bell ringing, Professor McGonagall pushed open the dirty door.
The world behind the door made him brighten up.
The space inside the bar was much more spacious than it looked from the outside, at least ten times larger.
There were a few wooden tables sparsely placed in the bar, and the guests were dressed in a unique style, wearing long robes and top hats tilted, just like Professor McGonagall's style.
Several old ladies sat in the corner, leisurely tasting sherry, and one of them was smoking a long pipe, puffing out smoke.
A short man with a big hat on his head was talking eagerly with the bar owner.
The owner looked quite funny, with sparse hair sticking to his thin scalp, like a dried walnut.
When the two stepped into the bar, the noisy discussion stopped abruptly, but soon resumed.
However, when Professor McGonagall passed by, the surrounding noise would unconsciously decrease, as if her aura had a mute effect.
The bar owner carefully poked his head out from behind the bar, and when he saw Professor McGonagall, he immediately shrank his neck and put on a flattering smile on his face:
"Good morning, Professor McGonagall! Come to pick up the new students again."
"Tom, you should clean up this place."
Professor McGonagall nodded slightly, then led Ye Ting through the bar and came to a small patio surrounded by walls.
It seemed a bit desolate here, with nothing else except a lonely trash can and a few clumps of withered weeds.
"This is the entrance to Diagon Alley," she pointed to the trash can. "Remember this location.
Count three bricks up and two bricks horizontally.
Tap three times with your wand.
You will have to find the way yourself in the future."
As she spoke, she raised her wand and tapped the corresponding brick three times.
Next, a magical scene happened - the enchanted brick began to vibrate violently, then slowly moved away, a crack appeared in the middle, and a small hole gradually expanded.
In a blink of an eye, a wide archway appeared in front of Ye Ting.
The archway extended inward to a cobblestone street. "This is really, so cool..."
Even though Ye Ting had read about Diagon Alley in books and experienced it in Universal Studios, he was still shocked to see this scene with his own eyes.
