Walking through this pce is a bit annoying, there are many people and children running around, I did not believe that there could be so many people in one pce, acc to the stories Diagon Alley after the great disaster remained closed and not a soul was seen, the streets once crowded remained practically empty, but that will not happen again, this time everything will ge and this pce will not be lost as many others did iure.
Diagon Alley... the truth is more beautiful aertaining from this perspective, children running all over the streets from market to market, trying to buy the best magical materials in advance, before people with more resources buy them and leave only the leftovers, Particurly during the days or weeks before csses start at Hogwarts, the pce is full of witches and wizards.
Even Alphohought of that and that's why we arrived a few weeks before the start of csses, the alley is mostly cobblestone, ihe alley there are a variety of restaurants, pet stores, herbalist stores that a Prik, potions, dy, everything you imagine, even flying brooms, it's defihe most magical p the magical world, the perfect pce to find the items on the academy's supply list.
It is a pce totally hidden from the Muggle world, hidden uheir noses. It is even bigger thahought, its streets seem to have no end, rgely because of the number of people who gh it, its ercial establishments are of various levels, and there is even security guarding and proteg both shoppers aablishments of any flict that may arise.
However I feel hohonse doesn't let his guard down for a sed, his eyes are atteo any movement of the people around us, I guess it's uandable sihis would be the first time he's surrounded by so many people.
"There are many popur stories about this alley"- Alphonse says as he takes my hand- " among those there has always been the doubt of which is the oldest building in this pce, some specute that it has always been ringotts or the Ollivanders wands building, there is also the doubt of how many are the spells cast to hide this pce from the muggle world, some rumors say more than 300 spells, as there are some that only say it's no more than 100."
"Quite iing Alphonse, you know a lot about this pce."
"That's right my lord, this was my favorite pce as a child, I used to e here on vacations with my sister to enjoy the magic, even here was where I met your mother, a girl who stood out among all the crowd with her long white hair that stood out from the tower of magic books she carried in her arms."- Alphonse expins while imitating the situation by making a funny walk.
"You're right, she was a very intellectual woman, but wait white y mother?"
"That's right my lord, believe it or not s, he had her hair that color, and after a while she decided to ge it, in our time her hair color was a cause of discrimination against her, they said it was a bad omen for the school...well, here we are."
Her eyes refleplete disgust towards her memories of where my mother was discriminated against,
"We will start by buying the pewter cauldron number 2, 1 set of gss or crystal gsses, 1 telescope, and 1 brass scales, which are the first items that are on the list of Hogwarts, then we will go for the uniform Three simple robes of work, A bck pointed hat for everyday use, although you may not eve, A pair of protective gloves, very important to avoid any burns or acts with your wand, A winter cloak for the season, then we will go for the books and finally the most important aing, your wand"- says Alphonse while pointing at each pce with the tip of his finger.
Although everything Alphonse is mandatory to buy, I also o make some purchases on my own, stones aals that will help me develop an object that erfected iure, something that allows eling magid trating in the same way that wands do... but for that I would wo cauldrons plus one of copper and brass. Simirly, we also o buy spoons to stir the materials. And all the rest of the preparation equipment such as knives, grinders, mortars, and mloves.
Ah! We also need potion bottles and ingredients of different shapes and shades. And finally, we need potion-grade protective gloves and safety goggles.
The big question is where will I hide all these materials from Alphonse if he is always with me... the only way would be to get a magic bag with ample ste, but asking for one would already be weird for Alphonse.
The materials I need don't seem to be all avaible in this pce either, but I remember well that my teacher used to tell me about hidden pces where they make sales of dangerous and dark materials, materials which I need, my teacher used to tell me stories of this pce just like alphonse does now, but she was more specific with the dark pces of diagon alley, pces where she always used to say that uhe ercial and full of life area where the best of the pce were the ho merts, in the shadows there were only swindlers, thieves and dealers.
Shadow merts are always ready to offer you the best pounds and illegal materials of magily if they think you are worthy of these gadgets, and that you will not jeopardize their iy with the safety of the pbsp;
Although in these pces there must be security allied with them for their illegal works. Now then, es the hardest part... As I am a child it might be plicated to escape from Alphonse, although I use spells that boost my speed in a way it is still not perfect magic due to my current amount of magic...but along with this maybe...no, Alphoill doesn't let his guard down.....
I only have one way out, hopefully, it will work.
"Alphonse, I take a ride just for a moment?"
Alphonse's eyes widen with surprise- "My lord it is dangerous, you don't know the pce, you could get lost, besides we don't know who might be waiting to do any harm, I don't want to take the risk my lord, you better stay with me".
"Rex, I grabbed a map of the alley a few pces back, I'm not going to get lost, I just want to see a little more of this pce, of the pce where my mrew up."
"..."- Alphonse's silence is indicative that he is thinking about it.
"Ok my lord but with my ditions, let's see give me a moment"- Alphoakes me back to the pce where I took the map and takes one in the same way- " if we are going to do this I need you to be very careful, I know you defend yourself but there are incredible and problematic mages in these pces". "if we are going to do this I need you to be very careful, I know you defend yourself by yourself but there are incredible and troublesome wizards in these pces" he pricks his finger and drops a drop of his blood on both maps and then puts the tip of the wand on both maps to repeat three times the word " first point" and also saying some words which I didn't uand, when doing this, the blood disappeared and two points appeared on each map.
One representing blue and the other red, the red one representing Alphonse and the blue one representing me, incredible, I don't know how he did it but I have never seen this kind of magic before.
"How did you do that Alphonse?"
" a little triother taught me by copying one of the best mischief relics at Hogwarts, the marauder's map, this is just a cheap trick, it only serves to locate us, it will help us to know where each other is at"
"Great sounds perfee"
"Also have some money in case you like something, take good care of it," Alphoells me as he hands me some shiny galleons in a cloth bag.
"Okay, see you in a bit Alphonse."
"Be careful!" shouts Alphonse in the background as I get lost in the crowd.
I have to fess I didn't think he would let go of me so easily but I guess it's because of the nostalgia of the pce when I was a kid, of when he would run around this pce alone going into every retail store, something he suddenly wants me to live.
Well... Now I just o look for that secret market, but first I o camoufge my identity a bit before entering a pce like this, the best thing would be to get a mask and a cape, luckily here you find that and more.
