"Wow!"

Kyle was completely attracted by the scene in front of him.

There are layers of wooden houses with ancient styles on both sides. The buildings are crooked and staggered, looking crumbling, but they still stand stubbornly.

The shops are arranged along the street, and the iron signboards suspended in the air sway gently in the wind. The words on some of the signboards seem to be given a shimmering light by magic, flickering on and off.

The streets were bustling with people, including wizards and witches in robes.

Many parents were shopping for Hogwarts supplies with their children who were about to enter school. Pointed wizard hats were rising and falling among the crowd; owls flapped their wings and flew over the streets, dropping one or two feathers from time to time.

The smell in the air is not very pleasant.

In Mo Fei's nose, you can already smell a lot of bad smells, the bitter taste of Herbology, the sweet taste of ice cream, and the metallic smell coming from the crucible are intertwined.

However, no matter what, such a scene will give people a feeling of walking into magic.

And this may be the reason why everyone regarded Diagon Alley as the first stop for Hogwarts.

Compared with Kyle who looked at everything with curiosity, Mo Fei only acted a little surprised when they first met, but after seeing his surroundings clearly, he actually showed a certain degree of alienation.

He knew very well that being able to come here relied on his identity as Kyle, and he, a Muggle who was unable to learn magic, had no chance of being here.

After thinking of this, the excitement in his heart also cooled down.

"Where do we go first? Professor!"

Mo Fei pulled Kyle and didn't let him look around. Are the wizards here really kind? Could the friendliness they are showing now be because Hogwarts's professor is here.

Worry about the unknown made Mo Fei dare not let Kyle act on his own.

And this concern is obviously commendable.

Because even if Slughorn is here, he is not as relaxed as when he was in the orphanage.

He spoke a lot less, "Let's go to Gringotts first and help Kyle get his share of the subsidy. Only then will we have money to buy other things... And since we are not very rich, we have to buy second-hand many things."

Neither Mo Fei nor Kyle have any opinions on this kind of thing.

The process of withdrawing money was hassle-free.

20 Galleon is a huge amount for a child who is new to Wizarding World, but for people who are making a living in Wizarding World, it seems not that much.

However, after all, it was money, and it was still a bit dangerous to have it in their hands, so they planned to spend it directly.

The first big expense is buying a wand.

After knowing that I wanted to buy a wand, Kyle immediately bought it - I couldn't hide my excitement anymore.

"What will my wand look like, what material will it be made of... how long will it be, will it be so thick that I can't hold it..."

Kyle asked Mo Fei in a low voice.

But regarding these, Mo Fei couldn't give him a reasonable explanation. Regarding magic, Mo Fei only had some understanding from the original work.

Ollivander Wand Shop is described in the original work.

Perhaps it is also the first place where little wizards have their own magic items.

Its location is not very conspicuous, but every wizard seems to be deeply impressed by it.

The sign of the wand shop does not flash with fluorescent light like other shops. It is just as gray as if it has gone through many years.

But indeed, the history of this store seems to be comparable to Diagon Alley.

Slughorn took the lead and pushed open the door that looked very simple.

Fortunately, when the door was opened, it didn't creak like an orphanage.

There seemed to be no one in the room, but the wind chime above the head was blown by the wind entering the door, and it rang a little.

Kyle forcibly controlled himself and did not let himself look around.

But what you see is full of wand boxes stacked up. The large number of boxes even form a wall-like structure, making it impossible to see the general view of the room.

Professor Slughorn didn't seem to be in a hurry, he just waited there quietly after entering the door.

About 5 minutes later, a short man walked out from the corner with a box in his hand.

He coughed twice, as if he was choked by dust.

"Ahem... this is too deep!"

The biggest feeling about Mo Fei is that the eyes of Ollivander are really bright and sharp...

"Slughorn? Aren't you a professor at Hogwarts? Oh, by the way, it's the entrance season for little wizards. It seems that you are the freshman orientation professor at Muggle today?..."

The words in the man's mouth were somewhat familiar.

Slughorn smiled helplessly, "Okay, Garrick, I brought a new student here. When can I start choosing wands? He hasn't bought anything yet!"

"Yes, yes, I understand... really, I'm not an old fool!"

Then, he looked at Kyle. "Child, which hand do you use most?"

"Right hand! Sir!"

"Okay!"

As soon as Ollivander finished speaking, a ruler flew out from the direction of the counter, and then circled Kyle's right hand to continuously measure some data.

While measuring, he explained to Kyle.

"We, Ollivander Wand Shop, were founded in 382 BC. Every Ollivander is a top wand maker at Europe. In Europe, you will be hard-pressed to find a better wand than mine..."

"Remember, you don't choose the wand, but the wand chooses you... Each wand is unique, but as long as you truly care for your wand, it will respond to your expectations..."

"It's like the professor who brought you here - Slughorn. His wand is made of cedar wood and the core is Dragon Heartstring."

"This kind of wood will choose people who are keen and insightful as their owners, and Dragon Heartstring will further strengthen intuitive reactions... These are also important supports that help him become Potions Master!"

Kyle When he heard this, he glanced at the professor. He didn't get any rebuttal, which made him even more excited.

What kind of material will his wand be made of, and where will his fate be headed?

But in Mo Fei's ears, this kind of rhetoric is too vague. After all, each type of wood has its advantages and disadvantages, and each type of stick core will also show different characteristics, so this kind of rhetoric is more like a sales pitch.

But unfortunately this is a world of magic, and it might really have some influence, so he has no intention of raising any objection.

After taking the measurements, the selection of the wand begins.

"Let's try this one first!"

Ollivander turned around and took out a wand from behind and handed it over.

But as soon as he made contact, Kyle felt like an electric shock, but it was not a slight electric shock, but like lightning, causing a sharp sting, and the wand bounced directly from his hand.

"Ah!"

He suddenly looked at his hands, but there were no wounds.

"Oh oh oh, this wand has a serious compatibility with you, is that so? Then I know!"

Ollivander seemed to have expected the current situation. He put away the wand just now from the counter, and then took out another wand from another direction!

"Come and try this! Don't worry, you won't feel that way again!"
