For a famous place, it was very dark and shabby. A few old women weresitting in a corner, drinking tiny glasses of sherry. One of them was smoking a long pipe and a little man in a top hat was talking to the old bartender, who was quite bald and looked like a toothless walnut. The low buzz of chatter stopped when the three of us walked in. Everyone seemed to know Hagrid though; they waved and smiled at him, and the bartender reached for aglass, saying, "The usual, Hagrid?" 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIvkkT5Rx8
"Can't, Tom, I'm on official Hogwarts business," said Hagrid, clapping his great hand on my shoulder and making my knees buckle. "Taking young Harry and Katrina here to buy their school supplies."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEAzKpFW4c
"Good Lord," said the bartender, peering at me, "is this...can this be?" The Leaky Cauldron suddenly went completely still and silent. 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzRbPPcHUw
"Bless my soul," whispered the old bartender, "Harry Potter... what an honor."He hurried out from behind the bar, rushed towards me and seized my hand, tears in his eyes."Welcome back, Mr. Potter, welcome back." I didn't know what to say. Everyone was looking at me and I was beginning to feel self-conscious. The old woman with the pipe was puffing on it without realizing it had gone out. My eyes met Katrina's who looked just as shocked by the reaction I was getting as I was, but she simply shrugged her shoulders in equal confusion.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoRZNhVDDt
Then there was a great scraping of chairs and the next moment, I found myself shaking hands with everyone in the Leaky Cauldron. 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PHkz7DhM6
"Doris Crockford, Mr. Potter, can't believe I'm meeting you at last." 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrqe4NUIMx
"So proud, Mr. Potter, I'm just so proud." 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJtS3Ea5Oq
"Always wanted to shake your hand...I'm all of a flutter." 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfmIkfYIb9
"Delighted, Mr. Potter, just can't tell you, Diggle's the name, Dedalus Diggle." 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMPxqUbxIT
"I've seen you before!" I said, as Dedalus Diggle's top hat fell offin his excitement. "You bowed to me once in a shop." 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6bpoZ5k54
"He remembers!" cried Dedalus Diggle, looking around at everyone. "Did you hear that? He remembers me!" I shook hands again and again. Doris Crockford kept coming back for more.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvSmy6eMY3
The sheer number of people coming up to greet me was overwhelming and I could feel my face redden as I continued to become more and more flustered. Suddenly, I felt a small hand take mine and gently squeeze it. I looked over and saw Katrina's twinkling blue eyes staring into mine as she gave me a reassuring smile. "Thank you" I mouthed as Hagrid dragged the two of us over to a corner and introduced us to a odd-looking man wearing a purple turban. 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8a8CHrpOf
"Professor Quirrell!" said Hagrid. "Harry, Katrina, Professor Quirrell will beone of your teachers at Hogwarts."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdLVNyJHzK
"P-P-Potter, K-Katrina" stammered Professor Quirrell, grasping our hands,"c-can't t-tell you how p- pleased I am to meet you." 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jelhwxDU9
"What sort of magic do you teach, Professor Quirrell?" I heard Katrina ask politely. 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG6J7ZXoUi
"D-Defense Against the D-D-Dark Arts," muttered Professor Quirrell, asthough he'd rather not think about it. "N-not that you n-need it, eh,P-P-Potter?" He laughed nervously. "You'll be g-getting all your equipment, I suppose? I've g-got to p-pick up a new b-book on vampires,m-myself." He looked terrified at the very thought and suddenly dashed off before I could think of a good response.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW3cOL21zb
It took almost ten minutes to get away from them all. At last, Hagrid managed to make himself heard over the babble."Must get on...lots ter buy. Come on, Harry, Katrina." 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvqDVPHDFS
As we left, I noticed Katrina glancing back at the man in confusion and wincing as she rubbed her collar bone. She noticed my concerned expression and reached over to grab my hand again as we continued to follow Hagrid as he led us through the bar and out into a small, walled courtyard, where there was nothing but a trash can and a few weeds.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWQn8q9ztO
"Told yeh, didn't I? Told yeh you was famous. Even Professor Quirrell was tremblin' ter meet yeh. Mind you, he's usually tremblin'." Hagrid said as he grinned down at me.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSENWqeIPG
"Is he always that nervous?" 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pVS4OSmn3
"Oh, yeah. Poor bloke. Brilliant mind. He was fine while he was studyin' outta books but then he took a year off ter get some firsthand experience....never been the same since. Scared of the students, scared of his own subject now, where's me umbrella?" 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFIyf26Qq1
"Hagrid, why are we just standing in front of a brick wall?" I asked him in confusion. He ignored me and muttered under his breath as he pulled out his pink umbrella and tapped the stones in a particular order. 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jv3PgTtD7
"Three up... two across he muttered. "Right, stand back, you two." 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmRUHuZHkV
He tapped the wall three times with the point of his umbrella and the brick he had touched slowly quivered then wriggled to life.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSgM0q1CJ5
I felt Katrina's grip tighten on my hand as we watched in amazement as the bricks started shifting around and an archway appeared large enough even for Hagrid. I looked at Katrina; my eyes wide, as together we stepped through the arch and into the bustling crowd of shoppers. 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7RykWwhws
"Welcome," said Hagrid, "to Diagon Alley." 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kmkSSvu2m
The sun shone brightly on a stack of cauldrons outside the nearest shop.Cauldrons -- All Sizes - Copper, Brass, Pewter, Silver -- Self-Stirring-- Collapsible, said a sign hanging over them. 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsYTWfMdiI
"Yeah, you'll be needin' one," said Hagrid, "but we gotta get yer money first." 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhypY3vCAb2
I turned my head in every direction as the three of us walked up the street, trying to look at everything at once: the shops, the things outside them, the people doing their shopping. A plump woman outside an Apothecary was shaking her head as we passed, saying, "Dragon liver, seventeen Sickles an ounce, they're mad...." 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbvFwvOr9Z
I heard Katrina giggle as she yanked me by the arm and tugged me back and forth across the streets trying not to miss anything. Her enthusiasm was infectious and I laughed harder than I had in a long time as I let her take the lead. 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbyJnBtDCZ
Several boys of about our age had their noses pressed against a window with broomsticks in it.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVrRIYUsRL
"Look," I heard one of them say, "the new Nimbus Two Thousand...fastest ever!" 422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7tYT2MY4D
There were shops selling robes, shops selling telescopes and strange silver instruments I had never seenbefore, windows stacked with barrels of bat spleens and eels' eyes, tottering piles of spell books, quills, and rolls of parchment, potion bottles, globes of the moon, animals of all shapes and sizes, you name it.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8T4eHgrzb
Katrina was so focused on weaving back and forth across the streets to make sure she didn't miss anything that she quickly forgot to watch out for what was in front of her.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lqoc60zVK
"Ow!" I heard her cry out as she stumbled into Hagrid. I couldn't help it and burst out laughing and when she glared at me, it only made me laugh harder. She managed to keep her angry glare for about 30 seconds before she lost control and smiled with me. When I finally managed to contain myself I noticed that we had reached a snowy white building that towered over the other little shops and had the words; "Gringotts Bank" written in large gold lettering across the entrance.
