Diagon Alley

Arthur and Snape are now in front of the diagon alley. Snape brought him here with apparition, Arthur though felt a little uncomfortable at first, it's all manageable. As they entered diagon alley, Tom greeted them," professor Snape, it's nice to see you sir. Are you guiding a freshman to wizarding world? Hello boy, I'm Tom, my niece Hannah Abott is also going to Hogwarts this year. Get along with her ".

Snape just nodded as a greeting to Tom and dragged Arthur not even giving him chance to react. Snape then explained," remember this well. Anyway, only a fool would forget this. The entrance password to diagon alley ".

He told Arthur about the brick and the sequence then dragged him to the diagon alley before saying," we'll first visit Gringotts to exchange your pounds into wizard's currency. Remember this, we have galleons, sickles and knuts. 1 galleon is 17 sickles. 1 silver sickle is 29 copper knuts. Understand? Don't get confused ".

Arthur rolled his eyes. If it's another child he would be very angry. Arthur knew all this, so he didn't care for now. As Arthur reached the Gringotts, Snape asked a goblin to exchange the pounds to galleons. Arthur got 60 galleons as he exchanged 300 pounds. The Hogwarts scholarship is 30 galleons in total.

With 60 galleons he has enough to last a year. Arthur followed Snape outside. As they reached the madam Malkin's store, they saw a girl. She has blonde hair and deep green eyes. A beauty mole below her left eyes made look more cute. She looked proud.

When she saw him entering the shop, her face didn't even hide the disdain in her mind. Arthur raised an eyebrow and ignored her. He saw so many beauties in simulations and faced beauty traps. Only veela's charm had a little effect on him but if they're part veela even then their charm has no effect on him.

The girl is surprised when she saw Arthur like this. But she didn't approach Arthur. She only greeted Snape," hi, professor Snape. How are you? ", Snape looked at the girl and said," hello miss vole, I'm doing fine. I'm surprised you're not considering illvermony ".

She smiled and said," I heard Hogwarts is better than Illvermony. So I chose Hogwarts ultimately. Looking forward to hear your lessons on potions professor. I want to see if Hogwarts is really as amazing as the rumours say ".

Snape didn't say anything. Just stared at her for a few seconds. She smirked and turn back to madam malkin. Madam Malkin said," your clothes will be ready before you can complete your shopping. Why don't you go and other things miss vole? ".

The girl nodded and turned to Arthur before saying," get some good clothes. A first impression should be good. Try not to appear like a homeless child ", she then headed out while Arthur said," she is rude ", Snape looked at him and said," I'll wait outside. Go on with your measurements and select your design ".

Snape headed outside. Arthur shrugged and allowed Madam Malkin to take measurements. After taking his measurements, Madam Malkin asked one of the workers there to make the clothes with the design Arthur chose.

Arthur left the shop and saw Snape inspecting herbs in the shop opposite to Madam Malkin's store. Snape turned to him and said," just a minute. I'm buying some herbs for potion practice", after a minute or so, Snape opened a cloth bag and put a huge pile of herbs into the cloth bag.

Arthur isn't dazed by this. He just looked at Snape for a few seconds. How many precious ingredients is this guy going to waste? Potions is also a part of Alchemy. Arthur in the simulated life did master potions and created many strange, useful or even bizzare potions.

As they moved to the flourish and blotts, they came across the girl from earlier. She seems to be with her mother. She is buying books from advanced years and when she turned to him, she cast a disdainful smile and said," grow stronger. In this world strength reigns supreme. Without strength, you're nothing and I hate weaklings ".

The woman beside her awkwardly greeted them and cast an apologetic glance. Snape just ignored it since this is between two freshman. Arthur just bought the first year books while the girl cast a disdainful glance at him. Snape though just nodded at him and took him away.

They headed to item store and bought couldron, telescope, brass weights and others. Now only a pet and wand left. As they entered the wand shop, they saw ollivander giving the blonde girl her wand.

She is waving it with a smile and casting spells. She saw him and cast a mocking stare.
