I opened a blind box at Hogwarts

Chapter 8 Two Celebrities
On the second day after Professor McGonagall's home visit, the Joestar family couldn't wait to come to the Leaky Cauldron Bar at No. [-] Diagon Alley, Wilson Avenue, as Professor McGonagall said.

It didn't go well at first, because Mr. Joestar, who was driving, took a quick turn around Wilson Street, but couldn't find the so-called No. [-] Diagon Alley, or the Leaky Cauldron.

Of course he couldn't find it, because a series of magical barriers against Muggles, such as the Muggle Concealment Curse and the Muggle Repelling Curse, were set up around the Leaky Cauldron.

Muggle families, on the other hand, need their children who are about to start school to lead them to find and enter the Leaky Cauldron.

Soon Joshua found the Leaky Cauldron between a bookstore and a record store.

This is a dilapidated and inconspicuous bar. Joshua thought that even if he was not cursed, not many people would enter such a bar.

"Is this the entrance to the magical world?"

As a social elite, Mr. Joestar found it hard to believe that the entrance to the grotesque magical world would be an outrageously old bar, which was totally different from what he had imagined.

Joshua didn't know what the magical world he imagined was like, but he could guess a little bit by looking at Mr. Joestar in formal attire.
"Perhaps it's just an appearance, as long as you enter the bar, there will be an earth-shaking change?"

Ms. Joestar expressed her thoughts, but judging from her tone, she was not very sure.

For today, they all dressed up carefully in the morning, just to make themselves look like country bumpkins.

Joshua stood behind them, impatient to listen to their chatter at the door.

"Come in quickly!"

Joshua took his parents' left and right hands respectively, and kicked open the door that was covered by time.

"Oh!"

The knocking on the door wasn't loud, and when Joshua and his parents walked into the bar, it didn't attract anyone's attention, except one of course.

Old Tom was a wizard and owner of the Leaky Cauldron. Old Tom was very old, almost bald, toothless, wrinkled, and shaped like a sunken walnut.

He can use simple wandless magic, such as lighting a fireplace by snapping his fingers.

He's friendly with the wizards and witches who walk across the pub to Diagon Alley.He has run the Leaky Cauldron for a long time and has met all kinds of people in the wizarding world.

At this moment, Old Tom was standing behind the dimly lit old bar. Of course, he would know that there were guests coming to the bar, but when Old Tom's eyes fell on Joshua, his inconceivable gaze suddenly appeared.

"Oh, it's him!"

I don't know why old Tom suddenly yelled, but his yell successfully attracted other people in the bar.

First, they looked at Old Tom suspiciously, and then followed Old Tom's gaze to look at the three people standing at the door, to be precise, it was Joshua standing at the door.

"Oh, it's him!"

Such exclamations came one after another, and among the many exclamations, old Tom stepped in front of Joshua through the crowd and grabbed his palm very enthusiastically.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Joshua-Jostar!"

Feeling Old Tom's enthusiasm and the scorching stares of the bar guests, Joshua thought it was Harry Potter coming over at first, but he didn't expect to surprise them, but he was the one who surprised them?

"Hi, may I ask why you know me?"

This is Joshua's problem, and his parents are also very strange.

However, Old Tom picked up a newspaper from a simple and old desktop, pointed to the vivid dynamic pictures on it, and showed it to Joshua and his parents.

"A boy genius has appeared in the magic world, and Minister of Magic Fudge is speechless!"

When Joshua saw this title for the first time, he felt that it was not that interesting at all, and it had to start with "shocked" or something.

As for the dynamic picture below the title, there are two people on it, one of them is walking out of a luxurious hall full of confidence, and this boy is Joshua, and the one standing on his body is Deng Bullido.

And this photo was obviously taken in the lounge of the Ministry of Magic, but Joshua remembered that he didn't see anyone else at the time.

"When was this photo taken?"

After thinking about it, Joshua thought maybe this was magic!

"Hey, isn't this our little Qiaoqiao? It's actually in the newspaper!"

Ms. Joestar snatched the newspaper from old Tom, and Mr. Joestar looked at it.

Soon the keen Mr. Joestar discovered that between the lines it was described that Joshua was questioned by the Ministry of Magic, and even some form of trial.

"You were judged? Why? Where?"

Facing the problems of his parents, Joshua could only express embarrassingly that it was just a small accident, and it had already been resolved.

As long as he is still only 11 years old, he can only get rid of the trouble caused by such a shocking thing like three adults.

Joshua's explanation is too far-fetched, and his parents still want to study it carefully.

Old Tom, who has seen many people of all kinds, can see Joshua's embarrassment at a glance.

"Ah, you are going to Diagon Alley, come with me, I will take you there."

Old Tom signaled, and at the same time greeted Joshua's parents, thus interrupting their continuous questioning.

"Old Tom, you are worthy of being the person with the same name as Voldemort!"

Joshua gave old Tom a big thumbs up in his heart!
All the way through the Leaky Cauldron, the people in the bar were all looking at this young man who could actually make the Minister of Magic speechless.

Joshua also felt curiosity, surprise, suspicion, admiration and other gazes from their gazes.

They ranged from wizards in robes to Muggle parents and their children in plain casual clothes.

Although Joshua is not the kind of character who likes to attract attention, no one else greeted him anyway, so he simply ignored them.

But he still noticed that there were three guys at the bar with the same big head wrap.

He followed Old Tom straight to the backyard of the Leaky Cauldron,

It's like a small patio with walls around it, and there's nothing here but trash cans and some weeds.

Mr. Joestar was about to ask what was going on, but Old Tom quickly took out a small stick, counted the bricks on the wall, and then tapped it lightly a few times.

At the moment when Old Tom knocked, he suddenly trembled, as if he came alive, and soon the surrounding wall bricks were like this. A small hole appeared in the middle, and the surrounding wall bricks pushed the wall bricks away as if the tide receded.

Until, a wide archway was exposed in front of several people, leading to a winding cobblestone street.

"Welcome to Diagon Alley!" Old Tom opened his arms and laughed at Joshua and his parents.

"Oh, this is incredible!"

Mr. Joestar and Ms. Joestar behaved surprisingly the same, but this was normal, even Joshua's excited expression was fully revealed.

"Oh, by the way, the currency used by wizards is different from yours. It's best to go to Gringotts before buying anything. Just follow the street until you reach the fork at the end!"

Old Tom reminded him kindly, watching the Joestar family step into the street, the archway turned back into a wall of explanation.

But at this moment, he keenly caught the exclamation coming from the bar.

"Harry Potter!"
