The Granger Family

The girl was a little indignant, struggling to pull her parents towards the two of them. When they reached The Leaky Cauldron, she let go of their hands and pointed to the pub's entrance.

"See, it's right there! You still don't believe me."

After speaking, a triumphant expression appeared on her face. Facts speak louder than words; this should prove she wasn't lying!

However, to the little girl's surprise, her parents exchanged a glance and said helplessly, "Hermione, look carefully, that's a bookstore."

"A bookstore?"

Hermione looked up. The bookstore was clearly next to the pub.

"No, I mean the pub to the right of the bookstore," Hermione quickly corrected.

"To the right of the bookstore is a record shop... Oh, wait, is that the original recording of Queen's 'Save Me' concert?"

As he spoke, the man took two steps forward, wanting to confirm.

Mu En also took a glance. It really was a Queen vinyl record.

With that, the two men walked to the record shop's window in unison. Mu En suddenly thought of the record player Harry had fixed. He wondered if it could be used...

"Dad, it's right next to you, The Leaky Cauldron!" the girl called Hermione said, walking up and taking her father's hand, pointing to The Leaky Cauldron's sign.

"Good girl, stop fooling around," the man said, patting Hermione's fluffy head. "How about we go look in the bookstore?"

Hermione felt extremely wronged. It was right in front of them, so why were her parents pretending not to see it? It made her feel like a little girl who liked to lie...

If they were joking, this was too much!

"She's telling the truth."

Suddenly, a somewhat childish voice sounded next to Hermione. A boy, dressed in loose robes and wearing a headscarf, stood not far from her and said.

"Little one? What did you say?" the man asked, completely bewildered.

At this moment, Mu En shifted his gaze from the display case to the couple beside him, then sized up the little girl beside them, who was on the verge of tears.

"That's right, your daughter isn't lying," Mu En also nodded, then looked at Hermione and comforted her.

"Young lady, you're not mistaken. There is indeed a pub next to us, sandwiched between the bookstore and the record shop."

"I told you there was!!" Hermione happily jumped up, holding her father's hand, her face beaming.

"Sir, please do not indulge your daughter's nonsensical ramblings," the man said, frowning slightly, displeased.

If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him had an unusual way of speaking and dressing, he would have already classified the other person as insane.

Mu En waved his hand and said to Hermione, "The only way to solve this problem is for you to lead them inside."

Harry also stood by, looking at Hermione. "I'll take you inside. Once we're in, everything will become clear."

Having read so many books, Harry had a good understanding of the "anti-Muggle charms" on many magical facilities. He said, "This pub is under a spell, ordinary people can't see it."

"A spell?" the man was a little dazed, but the next second, he felt himself being pulled forward again.

Hermione was angry, very angry. She was determined to drag her parents inside so they could see clearly that there was indeed a pub here.

Otherwise, they would never believe her.

As for the spell... sorry, she hadn't heard anything. All she could think about now was making her parents see that she wasn't lying.

With that, Harry, leading the way, pushed open the pub's wooden barrier first, acting as a vanguard. The two adults were thus dragged towards The Leaky Cauldron.

However, to their surprise, as they got closer to the gap between the bookstore and the record shop, the air there seemed to distort.

A dilapidated old doorway, like an animal charging at them, rapidly enlarged and approached before their eyes.

Creak—

The surrounding sounds abruptly ceased. The two seemed to have broken through a layer of film. The next moment, various rustling sounds filled their ears.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a dark and dirty place. In the eerie environment, dark figures crowded around the pub, talking to each other. However, after a short while, people noticed the newcomers, and the noise quieted down considerably.

"What is this..." The man pulled his wife and child closer to him, looking around warily.

"Don't be nervous, welcome to the wizarding world," Mu En's voice came from behind. He patted the man's shoulder and said.

"Wizards?" The man looked at Mu En, then at his daughter.

Hermione was also a little frightened. This place really didn't look like a good place.

Harry looked at Hermione and comforted her, "Don't worry, although it looks... a bit scary, just walk through it, the entrance is behind."

"Entrance?" Hermione asked, confused.

"The entrance to Diagon Alley, a commercial street for wizards," Harry explained. "You're a witch, just like me."

"Yes, I think your daughter is a witch, that's why she could see The Leaky Cauldron," Mu En nodded.

The man's head felt a little dizzy. Wizards... this was too fantastical, but the facts were right in front of him.

He tightly gripped his wife's hand to ease his nervousness.

Mu En looked at Harry and said, "Kid, we need to go." Then he walked towards the back door of the pub.

Arriving at the back alley, Mu En pulled out his wand and was counting the bricks when a voice sounded from behind: "Sir, please wait."

Mu En turned around and saw that it was Hermione and her family of three.

He was a little surprised. "I thought you'd choose to go back to Charing Cross Road, especially since the news you just received shouldn't be easy to process..."

The man walked over quickly, his expression a mixture of emotions as if he were gathering his thoughts. He said, "That's what we should have done. After all, this is too... I'm sorry, I don't know how to put it.

But I still want to ask you some questions, about the child!"

With that, he stepped forward and extended his hand to introduce himself. "My name is Chris Granger. This is my partner, Martha, and our daughter, Hermione Granger."

So it was because of the child that they wanted to understand more...

Mu En quickly understood the man's intentions and shook his hand. "My name is Mu En Jones, and this is Pete."

"Pete?" Harry pointed to himself. "I... uh, yes, I am Pete."

Harry hadn't forgotten that his name had appeared in several books, so he also thought it was correct not to reveal his name in Diagon Alley.

It's just... Uncle Mu En, are you sure that name wasn't just something you blurted out on the spot?

"Hello, I'm Hermione." Hermione also took the initiative to shake Harry's hand. Then she noticed the small wooden stick in Mu En's hand.

"Is that a wand in your hand?" she asked curiously.

Mu En's wand tapped the bricks twice before he nodded. "Yes."

At the same time, as the wall bricks rotated, a cobblestone path appeared before them.

The din of voices, along with the calls of owls and other animals, all appeared before them.

Harry couldn't wait to introduce it. "This is Diagon Alley!"
