Capítulo 6: Meeting wizards (Chapter 6)
I made my way through the door and found myself in a pub. The pub was mostly made of brick, there were two rows of tables that ran across the pub. I looked around, thinking that maybe I would find someone that might help me through this. I saw the Harry Potter movies like 10 plus years ago. I knew that this place had a brick wall or something that you had to hit. The problem was I did not know where it was. I walked towards the counter to see if the person working could help me out
"Excuse me sir, I am trying to do to Diagon alley to get some ingredients for my mom. Can you help me."
He looked at me for a little bit and said "Kid I think you are too young to go there by yourself. It can be dangerous with all the stuff going on and whatnot."
Sighing, I thought to myself 'maybe this is about as far as I will go' I was about to leave when some kids, weird that I am saying that, came up to me.
"Hey, are you trying to go to Diagon Alley we can take you there if you want."
"Yeah, our parents are helping us get supplies for Hogwarts. It will be our first year there"
This seemed out of place was my first thought. My intuition was telling me that I could not trust these people. First they were listening to my conversion with the bartender that is...strange. Another thing is that the timing is too perfect, as well as the reasoning. In my previous life, when I was younger, joined the military. Long story short, after my time was done I got paranoid of a lot of things. This situation is one of them
"You know, I think I will head back home. The guy was right I am too young to go to Diagon myself." I said while focusing on them
"Oh come on, we are not going to do anything to you."
"Yeah, we are just trying to help you."
I did a quick look around the store and realized that some people were looking at us. This shot my danger sense through the roof. I hated being in the military, but damn did it help with sensing a bad situation like this.
in my mind things were not adding up, and the 'kids' that were trying to 'help' me started to one move closer to me, and two they started to circle around me. I was in a chair facing the bartender and three of them were on the left, and right side of them while one of them was in the center facing me. I stared at each of them and said
"Gentlemen, I believe my mother would want me back home."
"Did you not say that she asked you to get ingredients for her potions?" One of the 'kids' said to me
"That she did, however, it is getting late and I am sure WE can come back here together as a FAMILY," I said to them calmly
At this point, the bartender said, "I think the child is right and should be going HOME."
The situation was getting a little tense. I stared at the 'kids' and they stared back at me. It went on like this for what felt like a few minutes before a couple of adults came by. They seemed to be wearing an expensive outfit. I remember that the Purebloods did not like some of the Mugglesborn, and I can imagine that is what is happening now. My guess is that they wanted me to come so they could do whatever they wanted to me. The problem is that as long as I am here with the bartender looking directly at me, they can`t do anything.
"What is going on here" Said one of the adults
"Father, we were trying to be nice and help him get ingredients for mother, but he refused to come"
Yup, I knew it. Bad people.
"Nonsense, my son- interrupting him I said
" My mother told me not to talk to strangers, and I will be on my way, Thank you for trying to help me but it seems that it is late and I need to get back HOME, besides I am sure that you need to do some shopping for Hogwarts as well. It would be downright rude of me to stop you from doing your task right?"
The kids and adults seemed shocked at what I said to them. They probably did not think that an 8year old could speak like that to them. The adults seemed upset, and the kids seemed to be even more upset at what I had said to them.
I got off of my chair and started to slowly make my way back to where I came from. Going next to the door that I came from I said "Gentlemen it was good of you to try and 'help' me but I should be on my way. You take care of yourselves now." and with that, I left.
I walked into the herb shop that I came from and sighed to myself. Grace was right I am too young to go shopping by myself. I made my way to the cashier and said
"Hey I came back, but can you tell me how much each one of these are?"
He looked at me confused before shrugging his shoulders and explaining to me the price of each one. When he was done I said thank you and left the shop
The price for a sequence 9 was about 10 Galleons or from what I can tell 50 GBP. I only had 15GBP, so that means I need to find a way to make money and fast. I walked back to the orphanage, making sure that no one was following me. The last thing I want is to have people tailing me.
When I came back I saw Grace staring at me, I felt kind of bad for what happened this morning. I should have listened to her.
"Where did you go?" She asked me
I put my head down and told her the whole story. She sighed at what I told her and said
"Look Darius, I told you that it was dangerous and now you know."
She was right, but I just could not let it go. I told that I needed Galleons which in turn made her ask me why I needed wizard currency.
I told her that I needed it in case I went to Hogwarts. She actually agreed with me on that saying "The orphanage does not have enough money to pay for you if you went, and that is not including anyone else that might be a wizard of a witch"
Grace said that she would help me find a job the day after tomorrow. She told me that some people were coming over to adopt us. I just rolled my eyes at this. I guess I will have to deal with adults tomorrow, so annoying.
