Chapter 5 Come on, rob the bank!
Hagrid is a regular bar customer at first glance.
As soon as the three of them entered the door, their chattering suddenly stopped and everyone smiled at Hagrid and waved.
Especially those old ladies sitting in the corner of the house, holding a small glass of sherry, were even more enthusiastic about Hagrid.
One of them also handed the long pipe in his hand to Hagrid, trying to let him have a mouthful too.
Hagrid was pestered for a long time before she got out.
Yes, I didn’t expect Hagrid to be a friend of middle-aged and elderly women!
The bar owner looked like a walnut. He picked up a cup, wiped it, and asked, "Hagir, do you want another cup?"
"No, Tom, I'm working on Hogwarts, I can't drink."
Hager expressed his rejection with a serious expression, as if anyone who hindered his work would be his enemy.
But a man wearing a top hat next to him squinted his turbid eyes and said in confusion: "Is that so? But when I came in the morning, I saw you..."
"Ahem... I'm going to take William to Diagon Alley, goodbye everyone." Hager interrupted hurriedly.
But before leaving, he glanced at his boss Tom and asked, "Has that Greek old man not come back yet?"
Tom shrugged and said, "He hasn't shown up since he had drunk with you in the morning."
Hagrid was a little disappointed.
Walking through the bar, Hagrid took the two of them to the small walled patio on all sides. There was nothing but a trash can and some weeds.
Roy stopped and couldn't help asking, "Hagge, you said something was delayed in the morning, just drink here?"
Hager grabbed the beard and said dryly, "Dear Roy, I can explain it!"
He coughed and said, "Look, I came to London from Hogwarts and walked so far, and I'm not too much to sit here and rest for a few minutes?"
Roy nodded: "It's reasonable."
Hagrid continued: "This is a bar, I can't sit there. I have to take care of Tom's business, so I bought a few cups of egg milk to moisten my throat, right?"
Roy held his chin: "It's reasonable and well-founded."
"So, you're drinking too much?" William interrupted.
"No." Hagrid stammered for a moment, glanced around and whispered: "I was going to leave, but I met a Greek.
The Greek man chatted with me and said that he had a three-headed dog, but the three-headed dog was too ingestible and he could not afford it.
William, you don't know how rare and cute three-headed dogs are.
I can't watch this furry little animal wandering on the streets like this and being sent to the Magical Biology Management and Control Department..."
Hagrid lowered his head, as if he had made a mistake.
"Okay, we won't tell anyone." Roy comforted.
Hagrid smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Roy, you are my best Muggle friend.
Don't worry, give William to me. No one dares to bully him in Hogwarts!"
Hagrid patted Roy on the shoulder with his giant palm, almost slapped him down.
"Hagge, is the three-headed dog really that cute?" William couldn't help asking.
“It’s really cute!”
With a "sight", an orange cat's head appeared from William's backpack. Bobocha glanced at Hagrid in confusion. It seemed as if it had heard someone praising her handsomeness.
"You and that little guy will become good friends." Haeger giggled twice and touched Bobocha's head.
Bobocha meowed and then crawled his head back.
At this moment, William's mind inexplicably saw the dog head of the three sleds.
He began to think of a three-headed dog with Samoyed, Husky and Alaska heads... that was indeed cute!
But in the near future, William will understand how graphic he is today!
Hagrid counted the wall tiles on the trash can. Because he was too tall, he had to bend over and stick his butt out.
"Count three up and two horizontally" he murmured. "Okay, stand back."
He tapped the wall with his umbrella head three times.
The brick he knocked on shook and began to move, and a small hole appeared in the middle.
The entrance of the cave became larger and larger, and soon a wide archway appeared in front of them that allowed the sea grid to pass through, leading to a winding and invisible cobblestone street.
"Welcome." Hagrid opened his arms and announced loudly: "Welcome to Diagon Alley."
They walked along the archway, and the dazzling sunlight was cast on a stack of pots outside the door of a nearest shop.
A large pot made of bronze brass tin-plated silver is hung above the pot. It has a complete range of models and can be folded automatically.
"Oh, William, you need to buy one," Hager looked at the sky, "but the sun is about to set, we have to get the money first."
They came to a snow-white building towering above the surrounding shops. Next to the shiny bronze gate, there was a figure in a scarlet gold uniform with a smart dark face, with a pointed beard.
"This is the goblin I'm talking to you." Hagrid whispered as they walked towards the man along the white stone steps.
Roy's occupational disease was recurring. He couldn't help but look at the fairy's smile and grin, as if he wanted to check his teeth's health.
William felt that his family would not be allowed to come to Diagon Alley alone in the future.
Roy was fine, at most, he just looked at other people's teeth. His mother, Leanna, would probably take out a scalpel from her pocket on the spot to dissect and see the species differences.
As for Anne, she is likely to treat the fairy as a pet and ask to buy it back.
Oh my God, what kind of weird family is this? William suddenly realized that he was the only normal person!
He didn't have so many strange thoughts, at most... he had the idea of robbery.
William stood in front of the second gate of Gringott, half of his figure was shrouded in the sun and half in the shadow.
On the two doors in front of him, the following words are engraved: Please come in, strangers, but you must be careful of what the consequences will be. If you just want to take away a wealth that never belongs to you, thief, you have been warned to be careful not to bring treasures, but bad retribution.
For some reason, at this moment, looking at those rows of words, William really had the idea of robbing Guling Pavilion.
Well, he would have this kind of impulse when he looked at those armored cars in his previous life.
But the soldiers who carry guns and live ammunition will always extinguish their desires in the shortest time.
There will always be such a strong defense here, right?
William looked up at Hagrid and asked in a low voice: "Hagrid, is the defense here strong?"
Hager nodded: "Of course it's strong. This is the safest place in the magic world except Hogwarts."
"What do you mean?" William raised his eyebrows.
Hagrid bent down and said mysteriously in a hot tone that William had never heard before: "There are dragons below this one!"
"dragon?"
There was a light in Hagrid's eyes, and he enviously said, "Yes, I really want to raise a head, I'm willing to give everything for this!"
Hager then deflated: "But twenty years after the enactment of the International Secretariat Act, in order to promote this bill, the Wizards' Conference officially passed a bill ban on dragon raising.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I dare say that this is the stupidest decision the International Wizards Federation has ever made!"
Hagrid's description gave William the most intuitive picture.
The most important thing is that the dragon mother's big black dragon Drogon appeared in his mind... If the magic world is also such a dragon, he would not think he could rob.
Well, William's desire was extinguished again, this time it was Hagrid's scattered spit.
