Hogwarts Kryptonian

Chapter 5 The Leaky Cauldron

After coming out of Ollivander's wand shop, Chris jumped on Lu Yunkai's shoulders again and led him towards the entrance of Diagon Alley.

After passing through a stone arch, a man and a cat entered a dark place.

What hit him was the smell of smoke mixed with alcohol.

Lu Yunkai choked and coughed.

Although he was a smoker and drinker in his previous life, and had many problems from his liver to his lungs, but now he is not old enough to touch these things.

This is the Leaky Cauldron, where Chrissy arranged for him to stay before starting school at Hogwarts.

Enduring the discomfort in his throat, Lu Yunkai walked straight towards the bar.

A hunched-backed bartender with a bald head was wiping a beer glass while chatting with the guests gathered at the bar.

"I heard Harry Potter is back!"

"Yes! I just met him and shook hands with him!"

"Really? What a pity! I should have come earlier..."

A few people were chatting very passionately, and other people in the bar were also chatting in low voices on what seemed to be the same topic.

"Sorry, I want to stay at the Leaky Cauldron for a few days. Where do I need to register?"

Lu Yunkai interrupted a little embarrassedly.

These people couldn't stop talking. Lu Yunkai was so smoked that he couldn't wait any longer.

"Children can't live here." The bald bartender looked at Lu Yunkai and said, "You'd better go home."

"Meow!!" Chris jumped from Lu Yunkai's shoulder to the bar and shouted to the bartender.

"...Kris??" The bartender then noticed Chris's presence.

"Meow! I wonder if you still remember me." Kris called out again.

"You come with me."

The bartender immediately took out a bunch of keys from under the bar and took Lu Yun upstairs.

Compared with the smoke and alcohol downstairs, the guest room area upstairs is obviously much cleaner and tidier.

The bartender opened a guest room and led Lu Yunkai inside.

"How long do you want to stay here?" the bartender asked Lu Yunkai.

"School starts at Hogwarts, September 1st."

"Fifteen gold galleons."

"Meow! When did you increase the price? It was only a gold galleons in half a month!" Chris shouted to the bartender again.

"...It said that in the past half month there was only one galleung." Lu Yunkai relayed.

"How many years ago was that price? At that time, one Galleung could buy ten sets of robes! ...Forget it, I won't charge you any money." The bartender seemed a little afraid of Chris, and casually said After saying that, he turned around and left the room.

"That was the bartender of this bar just now?" Lu Yunkai asked Chris. "Why is he so afraid of you?"

"His name is Tom, he's not the bartender, he's the boss. Otherwise, how could he say he won't take the money if he doesn't want to? But he was indeed the bartender here before, when Jesse was still the boss." Chris said in a disgusted tone.

"Your previous owner was the boss here? Okay." Lu Yun said happily.

It turns out that I came here with my former boss’s pet, so no wonder it’s free!

And he finally understood why it felt like most of the shops from Knockturn Alley to Diagon Alley knew it.

"Meow, it's getting late. You should rest." Chris glanced at the already dark sky outside and continued, "I'm going out to meet some old friends."

After speaking, without waiting for Lu Yunkai's answer, he opened the window and slipped out.

"Can't you just walk through the door?" Lu Yunkai followed Chris speechlessly and complained.

When I came to the window and wanted to close it, I saw a young man sitting on the window sill of the next room, seemingly looking at the moon.

He saw that man in the wand shop today.

"Hi! Hello!" Lu Yun smiled and greeted Harry.

"Huh? Oh! You are the one in the wand shop today..."

"My name is Lu Yunkai."

"My name is Harry, Harry Potter."

"You live in the Leaky Cauldron too? Where's the big guy with you today?"

"Hagrid? He came today mainly to deliver my Hogwarts admission notice. He had other important things to do and left first. He originally said he would send me back to my uncle's house, but I didn't want to go, so he stayed here. ”

"Oh? Are you a freshman at Hogwarts too? Me too!"

"Ah! What a coincidence!" Harry finally had a smile on his face, but it quickly disappeared. "You don't know who I am, do you?"

"I don't know. I'm a Muggle." Lu Yun started to learn a word, "But I seem to have heard people in the bar mention your name."

"Maybe it's because Voldemort tried to kill me but failed."

"Voldemort? Who?"

"An evil wizard, a big bad guy, did a lot of bad things, and also killed my parents."

"...Is he that mysterious person whose name those wizards dare not mention?"

"should be."

"Oh! No wonder!" Lu Yunkai suddenly realized, "So the wizard Ollivander just mentioned in the wand shop, who has the same wand core as yours, is he also?"

"Maybe." Harry obviously didn't want to talk more about Voldemort. "By the way, why do you live alone in Diagon Alley? Where are your parents?"

"I'm an orphan. My adoptive father has passed away. My adoptive father's brother is now my guardian... Well, that's a bastard, let's not mention him."

"Oh?" Harry raised an eyebrow, "I also live with my mother's sisters, and they treat me very badly. They always let me live in the cupboard under the stairs..."

"That's not bad. My adoptive father's brother let me live in the utility room behind the kitchen. There wasn't even a bed."

"It's my birthday today, and none of them remember it."

"Happy birthday! I don't even know when my birthday is."

"But this morning I learned that my parents were killed by Voldemort. My aunt originally told me that they died in a car accident."

"I don't know anything about my biological parents. My adoptive father died in a car accident...but I only heard about it. I didn't go to his funeral."

"Okay." Harry sighed, "I originally thought I was very pitiful, but I didn't expect you to be more pitiful than me."

"At least we are going to Hogwarts now. Once we learn magic, no one can bully us, right?" Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, "This can be considered a good fortune."

"Yeah." Harry also laughed, "It's really nice to meet you."

"Because I'm worse off than you are?"

"I didn't mean that! Don't get me wrong!!" Harry waved his hands quickly, "I haven't had a single friend since I was a child, and you are my first friend."

"Actually, you are also my first friend."

"This... is really a coincidence!"

The two eleven-year-old boys looked at each other and laughed together.

In the following period, Kris would go back to her room to sleep every night, and then sneak off to an unknown place at dawn.

Lu Yunkai naturally trusted Chris, so he didn't ask much about what she was busy with all day long.

If it hadn't pointed out a clear path, Lu Yunkai would probably be peeling potatoes in a beer hall now!

And he also has his own things to do: he hangs out with Harry in Diagon Alley every day, watching the excitement, chatting, and learning how to live like an eleven-year-old boy with a forty-year-old soul.

In this way, Lu Yunkai spent the most comfortable month after coming to this world in the Leaky Cauldron.

In a blink of an eye, it’s the last day of August.

"I'm glad I could help you, Mr. Potter."

"Thank you, Mr. Rice."

Harry shook hands with the middle-aged wizard who escorted them to King's Cross Station, and then watched him leave.

Lu Yunkai next to him also had a grateful smile on his face.

Lu Yunkai met this middle-aged wizard at the Leaky Cauldron some time ago. At that time, Lu Yunkai wanted to go to Diagon Alley to buy something, but was stopped by the "access control" leading from the Leaky Cauldron to Diagon Alley.

It was a stone wall that required hammering specific stone bricks in a fixed sequence to turn into a stone arch.

This passing middle-aged wizard taught Lu Yunkai how to open the stone door. As a thank you, Lu Yunkai introduced him to Harry Potter at his request...

He is a "big fan" of Harry.

He was very grateful to Harry for getting rid of Voldemort and avenging his sister who was killed by Voldemort.

Naturally, he was happy to help with such a small matter as sending the two of them to the station mentioned in the admission notice to take the train to Hogwarts.

After bidding farewell to the middle-aged wizard, the two teenagers were still a little confused as they stood on the overpass of the crowded King's Cross Station.

"What does platform nine and three-quarters mean?" Looking at the train ticket in his hand, Harry was a little confused.

"I don't know either. Ah! Look over there!!" Lu Yunkai patted Harry on the shoulder and pointed not far away.

A middle-aged woman was hurrying on her way with several boys and girls of different ages.

And on the luggage trolley they were pushing, they saw an owl cage...

Appearing here at this time, with an owl, an animal that usually does not appear in the city, the identities of these people are about to be revealed!

"Let's go, these people should lead us to the platform." Lu Yunkai made a decisive decision and followed with the luggage trolley.

"Okay!" Harry quickly followed.

Explain something. Harry's birthday is July 31st. Hagrid took him away from the Dursleys' house to go shopping in Diagon Alley on Harry's birthday, so it was impossible to go directly to the station like in the movie. And the man who was forcibly taken away by Hagrid also gave his son a pig tail. I can't help Harry begging (not forcing him, otherwise he wouldn't have been so bullied by his uncle in the next few movies) to send him to the station. I have always found it bizarre. Therefore, adapting the plot to let Harry live in a bar can also promote the plot. The original text is based on the party's disbandment.
