Chapter 155 Sirius Black must have done it!
In less than 10 minutes, the Knight Bus arrived at the Leaky Cauldron.
"Mr. Shafiq! You are welcome to ride the Knight Bus again next time!"
Amid the warm farewell from the conductor, John and others got out of the car.
Except for Michelle, who still looked excited and even a little unfinished, John and Hermione were both a little weak in the legs.
There is no way, the speed of the Knight Bus is too ridiculous.
Moreover, it does not drive at a constant speed, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, and it will brake hard for you from time to time. There is no magic in it to absorb shocks and eliminate inertia.
This makes it a terrible ride.
"If it's not necessary, we'd better not take the Knight Bus next time."
John said with lingering fear.
"Indeed, that's really terrible!" Hermione agreed seriously, "And the fare is too expensive!"
Several people were talking and had already pushed open the door of the Leaky Cauldron Bar.
Immediately afterwards, a figure rushed out from inside and bumped into John.
"Hey——"
The man cried out in pain and fell backward.
John grabbed him in time, then smiled and said:
"It's Harry, we were thinking of going to find you."
"John! And Michelle and Hermione?"
Harry murmured in disbelief, and then suddenly asked excitedly, "Why are you here?"
"We also want to ask you. Summer vacation is not over yet. Why did you come to Diagon Alley so many days in advance?"
Hearing John ask this, Harry scratched his head and told a little bit about his experience in the past few days.
After hearing this, Michelle shouted directly:
"Harry! You actually blew your aunt up? That's so cool!"
"I didn't mean to do that," Harry said, lowering his head. "She insulted my parents, and that made me lose control."
"And you ran away from home? God, it's a wonder they haven't fired you yet. Your behavior..."
Hermione had just finished speaking when she was stopped by John.
Now was not the time to get to the bottom of this matter, which would basically be rubbing salt into Harry's wounds.
After gently patting Harry on the shoulder, John comforted:
"Anyway, everything is over. You don't need to think so much. It's a good thing that you can continue to go to Hogwarts."
Harry nodded vigorously and looked at John with gratitude in his eyes.
He could feel that John was protecting him.
The few people continued chatting and walked into the Leaky Cauldron.
At the bar, the bar owner Tom was pouring drinks for the guests. When he heard the noise, he subconsciously glanced at the door.
Then, he was stunned.
"John?"
Tom said, suddenly raising his voice.
At this moment, the guests in the bar also raised their heads suddenly, first looking at Tom in confusion, and then all looking at John and others at the door.
John waved and greeted everyone generously.
But Tom and the other guests all gathered around him.
"John! It's really you! And Michelle!"
Tom excitedly patted John on the shoulder and said, "It's been a long time since I last saw you! You have become a celebrity!"
"Boss Tom, please stop joking." John said with a wry smile, "If you really want to talk about popularity, you should be the most famous person in the magic world!"
John was telling the truth.
The Leaky Cauldron is the gateway between the Muggle world and Diagon Alley, and as the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, there are few people in the entire magical world who don't know Tom.
It's just that this kind of popularity is obviously different from John's popularity.
So everyone in the bar burst out laughing after hearing this.
Tom himself was very happy. He took John and Michelle and chatted for a while. It wasn't until John saw that the time was almost up and he took the initiative to say goodbye to a few people that he actually entered Diagon Alley.
"John, you and Boss Tom have such a good relationship!"
Harry sighed sincerely as soon as he set foot on the cobblestone road of Diagon Alley.
"Tom is so enthusiastic towards everyone, just get used to it."
John said with a smile, and Michelle next to him also echoed:
"Yes, Uncle Tom is a good man! When we first came to Diagon Alley, he took us in and gave us a job! He was so kind to us!"
Harry and Hermione both didn't believe it when they heard this.
That's not to say that Tom wasn't enthusiastic about other people.
In fact, Tom is indeed as enthusiastic as John said.
But his enthusiasm was obviously different from his enthusiasm for John.
Tom was obviously genuinely pleased to see John arrive.
The same goes for the rest of the guests.
You can tell they both like John and Michelle.
But if you think about it carefully, this is actually quite normal.
After all, who wouldn’t like beings like John and Michelle?
Even Harry and Hermione enjoyed being around them.
"Okay, next we need to accompany Hermione to Gringotts to exchange the Galleons that need to be exchanged, and then buy textbooks and other things."
As John spoke, he led Harry and others directly to Gringotts.
This time, he did not show his disgust towards goblins like the last time he came with Professor McGonagall.
Instead, he naturally looked at the environmental structure inside Gringotts and the busy fairies, but there was a trace of greed and hatred hidden deep in his eyes.
As he expected, Gringotts and even the goblins in the country should not know of his existence yet.
In fact, they may not even know about St. Brelade.
That's why he could walk into Gringotts so openly.
But this did not prevent John from taking action against them.
John would even try to invade Gringotts if given the chance.
After all, John and Michael both have the same attitude towards goblins.
What they adhere to is the concept that regardless of gender, age or innocence, innocent or not, as long as it is a goblin, it should be killed!
This is actually wrong morally.
But John thought it was a good fit.
After all, when the goblins attacked him, the nuns and others, they didn't pay any attention to morality.
And just as John was carefully observing Gringotts and checking out the locations, Hermione also returned after exchanging Galleons.
She looked a little unhappy, and complained as soon as she returned to the team:
"Today the goblins only opened one counter that can be used to handle business! This made me wait in line for a long time! I really don't understand why they did this. The summer vacation is about to end. During this time It’s the time of year when they get the most customers!”
"Please understand, guest, we are forced to do so."
A goblin in a scarlet uniform came over at the door and explained with a sad face, "Many of our goblin employees have been attacked recently!
The attacker not only took away their lives, but even took away their money!
This caused all the goblins in the country to panic, and Gringotts was naturally short of manpower. "
As soon as these words came out, Harry, Hermione and Michelle were all surprised.
Only the corners of John's mouth rose slightly.
He even took the initiative to ask:
"So have you caught the attacker?"
"No, but we can basically determine the identity of the attacker!"
The goblin gritted his teeth and pointed at a wanted poster on the wall, "Those attacks must have been committed by Sirius Black!"
