Because his grandfather Leonard is a squib, no professor will come to Leonard’s house to mobilize.

Early the next morning, Leonard was awakened by his grandfather Leonard’s knock on the door.
”Get up, you lazy bug, are you planning on getting up in the sun?”
Leonard slowly got up and looked at the old pocket watch on the bedside. The thick pointer just pointed to six.
”It’s only six o’clock now.”Leonard complained loudly.
”We have to make it to London, which will take several hours!”Pack your bags, hurry up,” Londo shouted.”
Leonard rubbed his face, got up from the bed, and opened the door.
Leonard stood at the door as anxious as if he was on fire. It was Leonard who was going to school, but he was so anxious that he wanted to go. Same as going to school
”Come on boy, we’re going to town to catch the train. When we get to London we’re going to the Leaky Cauldron as soon as possible. I don’t want to spend another second among those muggles.”
Londo said loudly, full of energy. He seemed to have not slept all night, and he smelled of alcohol but was not tired at all from the all-nighter.
As soon as Leonard finished washing, Leonard stuffed him with a sandwich, and then hurriedly pulled him Follow Leonard out.
The Cotswolds is a very famous tourist attraction, so the transportation here is quite convenient.
However, it is too far from London. By the time the two of them arrived at Charing Cross Street, where the Leaky Cauldron is located, they were already there. It was past two o’clock in the afternoon.
Leonard said he was unwilling to eat out, so he dragged the hungry Leonard into the Leaky Cauldron Bar.
Just like its name, the Leaky Cauldron Bar was very shabby and old., the owner of the bar is also an old man who looks old.
The place is much larger than Leonard imagined, but the atmosphere here makes it difficult for Leonard to ada

However, Leonard seems to have entered a palace., eyes full of longing.

After coming here, Leonard’s mobility became very Qiang, after making an agreement with the bar owner Tom, temporarily stored his luggage here, and then begged the other party to help open the wall leading to Diagon Alley.
Londo took Leonard directly to the Wizarding Bank Gringotts, and after changing Immediately after Bai Galung, he came to Ollivander’s Wand Shop on the same street.
In fact, Leonard wanted to go to the shop selling fresh magical plants first, but he couldn’t resist Leonard. He wanted to go first. Look at the wand
”Ding dong…”
The bell at the door swayed and made a crisp sound. Londo and Leonard walked into the store and looked at the neatly packaged wands piled up on the shelves. Londo’s eyes turned red.
”welcome.”A gray-haired old man poked his head out from behind the shelf and looked at the two of them.
”Hello sir, let’s choose a wand.”Londo saw the old man and said in a flattering tone.
”Oh no, no, you don’t pick the wand, the wand picks its owner.”The gray-haired old man said seriously.
Londo’s expression suddenly became uneasy, and he said anxiously,”Huh… I’m sorry, I’m too superficial.”
His reaction was so intense that it shocked the gray-haired old man.
”It’s not that serious, it’s just my opinion. The gray-haired old man explained helplessly,”I am the owner of this store, Garrick Ollivander.”
He glanced at Leonard,”Are you a new student at Hogwarts?””

”Well……”Leonard glanced at Leonard and was about to say no, but he didn’t expect Leonard to speak first.

”Hahaha, it doesn’t matter, don’t be nervous, as long as you have talent, you are a member of the wizards, your origin is not important.”
Ollivander smiled and wrote down Leonard’s name on the notepad.”Let’s measure the necessary data, and then we can find a wand that suits you.”
