Chapter 6: “Entering Diagon Alley”
Are you okay? Professor McGonagall asked with some concern.
Jerry waved his hands while grinning and asking, Where is it? Im alright, just a little dizzy.
He understood that the spell Professor McGonagall just performed was Apparition, an advanced magic that only adult wizards can learn.
Teleportation is the main idea of Apparition. You can teleport anywhere in your head as long as it is a location you have visited. It is used as a transportation method for wizards.
But mastering apparition is no simple task. Apparation is difficult for many adult wizards to do flawlessly, and one could be torn apart by the strength of space.
Additionally, the magic power contained in the wizards body and their level of skill with this magic are both tied to the apparition distance. While some wizards can apparate directly from one city to another, others can only apparate for a few hundred kilometers.
Professor McGonagall certainly belongs to the latter group, but she also employed the follower apparition and its the same that she used to Jerry. She has the ability to transport individuals as well as objects.
Jerry simply assumed that Professor McGonagall would take him straight to Diagon Alley, but it appears that he instead showed up on a random street.
This is the gateway to Diagon Alley from a street in Londons Charing Cross Street. You must keep in mind the name and address of this street because you must visit it alone the next time you are in Diagon Alley.
It comes out that Professor McGonagall sees Jerry as a young child who has no knowledge of the wizarding world. Naturally, she must accompany him so that he can feel what its like to enter Diagon Alley as a regular wizard, preparing him for the day when he can do so on his own.
Diagon Alleys entrance is that pub over there, as you can see.
Jerrys eyes followed Professor McGonagalls finger, passing by a high-end movie theater and a well-known hamburger joint before settling in the middle of a sizable bookstore and a record store on the opposite side.
The Leaky Cauldron was the lone sign hanging on the door of the little, filthy bar, which also had an ancient wooden door and a damaged sign.
Even though this tiny pub is situated in the center of a spotless bookstore and record shop, it looks out of place. But everyone who was walking by turned their backs on it, pretending they couldnt see it at all.
Jerry understood that this modest bar was actually invisible to common Muggles since it had been rendered invisible by the Repelling Muggles Spell, which prevents Muggles devoid of wizard blood from noticing and approaching it.
*Dingling*
When the wooden door was forced open, the bell rang, and Jerry was carried by Professor McGonagall inside the Leaky Cauldron.
There werent many patrons in the bar, and the entire interior was rather gloomy. A cursory check revealed that only seven or eight wizards were conversing and drinking. All the wizards in the bar looked away when the bell rang.
The movies scenes had a real-world counterpart. His eyes were wide open despite his mental preparation due to the stunning scene in front of him.
Ordinary folks dont dress in fashionable clothing and carry bags outside, as opposed to wearing cool summer clothing. The majority of the street is occupied by wizards brandishing wands while donning variously colored wizard robes.
Of course, there are many house elves and goblins, as well as different wizards pets.
Copper, brass, pewter, and silver crucibles, complete models, automatic stirring, foldable, and retractable, come in and have a look!
Grey forest owl, horned owl, grass owl, brown owl, snow owl, all kinds of owls!
The latest Nimbus 2000, the fastest broom, get it while you still can!
Dragon liver, bat spleen, eel eyeball, spell book, quill pen, parchment, medicine bottle, moon globe, for a cheap price!
In front of the shops on both sides of the street, various small advertising signs were hung up, and many excited little wizards were also crowded.
Do you have the letter with you? McGonagall asked Jerry, who was already perplexed, as they approached a store.
Got it. Jerry nodded to Professor McGonagall as he pulled the parchment package he received the day before out of his pocket.
Okay, take out a list of necessary goods inside. Ill take you to get them one at a time, Professor McGonagall said with a nod.
Hearing this, Jerry took out the second page of letter paper from the envelope, unfolded it and read it:
