"I've only been there twice with your great-grandfather. That magical street... But after that, I've never found that bar..." Lena drove her yellow Beetle to Charing Cross Road with Anna.
"I guess it's because only wizards can see that bar..." Anna suddenly realized a problem. Charing Cross Road was so long, and she couldn't find anyone to ask for directions. How could she find the Crucible Bar?
Iron Pot Bar?
Or Beaker Bar?
"Mom, I think … do you still remember the name of that bar?" Anna was really starting to doubt her memory of Ma something Mei.
Lena gave her a fatal blow. "Of course, it's the Broken Cauldron Bar." Lena was a little nostalgic. "Your great-grandfather didn't want me to have too much contact with the magic world, but I've always been interested in it. I remember the name of the bar very well, and I've secretly come to find it many times..."
Lena's yellow Beetle suddenly drifted.
"Hey!
Do you know how to drive?
You're driving so fast that you're almost flying! "
Lena said sarcastically to the driver who almost crashed into her car. She was surprised by the strange attire of the driver. She thought that not many people liked to wear a black robe without any decorations and a crooked pointy hat in the car.
The man screamed, "Merlin's beard!
Without magic, how can these Muggle cars fly to the sky? "After he finished speaking, he realized what he had said and hurriedly covered his mouth.
Merlin's beard!
What's wrong with these wizards?!
Anna didn't want to see the wizard's unshaven face. She helplessly held her forehead.
Lena also realized that she had met a wizard. The two cars stopped at the traffic light.
"Oh, a little Ma... friend. Hello!" The man was a little panicked. He didn't see Anna just now. "I'm sorry for almost hitting you!
Maybe you want to forget about the unpleasant experience just now? "
The bearded wizard seemed to be anxious. He seemed to be considering whether he should do something. His right hand was rummaging through the pockets of his cloak.
"Sir, I don't think you need to look for your wand anymore. It's behind your steering wheel." As the driver's seat of the British car was on the right, Anna, who was sitting in the passenger seat, could see it clearly. "We're going to the Broken Cauldron, so you don't have to be nervous, and you don't have to cast a Forgotten Spell on us."
"Oh!
Bless the Merlin!
I was so scared!
I can't even memorize the contents of the Secret Law, and I don't know what to say and what not to say … Even though I think I've already tried my best to blend in with the Muggles!
I even passed the Muggle driving test! "
That gentleman waved his hand. "Sorry again, I have to go to Diagon Alley to meet my old friend. Madam and Miss, have a nice day!"
The wizard spoke very fast, and Anna felt that she had returned to the time when she passed CET-6 in university. It was still the accelerated version of the British accent, but it was easy to extract the key points. "Mom!
Quickly follow his car!
He should be going to Diagon Alley from the Broken Cauldron! "
Anna was a little absent-minded when she got out of the Beetle. Were all wizards so wild when they drove?
Putting aside the unpleasant topic, Anna carefully looked at the street in front of her.
On one side, there was a well-decorated bookstore with people going in and out from time to time. On the other side, there was a record store with many posters on the wall. It looked very avant-garde. In the middle of the street, there was a red brick building. It looked a little old. The sign was not very clean, and it said, "The Broken Cauldron Bar". Next to it was a triangular iron frame with a sign of an iron cauldron hanging on it.
Anna pulled Lena over. Lena looked very happy. "I didn't notice it at all. It's so hidden!
It turned into a bookstore next to it. No wonder I couldn't find it later. "
Anna pushed open the door of the Broken Cauldron Bar.
"Ding … Ding …" The bell by the door made a crisp sound. Anna looked back at the street. No one had noticed the noise.
A herbal smell hit her in the face, but it quickly dissipated. Anna guessed that it came from the slovenly old ladies sitting in the corner drinking. She couldn't help but complain that this place was too dark and dirty as the passage between the Wizarding World and the Muggle World.
Anna walked to the bar counter. Although Anna believed in her weight, the wooden floor still made a creaking sound. Fortunately, the other customers did not pay much attention to the two new faces that did not look threatening.
"Boss?"
Anna thought the boss would be in the back room, so she was surprised when a bald man who looked like a walnut popped out from under the bar counter.
"Hahaha … I scared you!"
The bald man looked at Anna carefully. "Underage wizards can't drink yet. Maybe you want some tea?"
"No, sir. Mr. Weasley said we can go to Diagon Alley from here. Do you know how to do that?"
"Oh?"
The bald man looked at Anna carefully. He looked a little confused, but still walked out from the bar counter. "Follow me. You can call me Tom." Old Tom led Anna and Lena through an old wooden door and came to the courtyard behind the bar. There was a rubbish bin and a brick wall.
On the other side of this short wall was another world. Anna was a little excited.
"The Weasley family is very nice," Old Tom suddenly said.
"Yes, to thank Mr. Arthur for taking me to St. Mungo, I gave him some Muggle toys."
Old Tom's face showed a sincere smile. "Hahaha, he even used them to show off to me — the glowing ball!
Merlin pants!
He was so excited that day! "
Old Tom took out his wand and tapped on the brick wall a few times. "Starting from the rubbish bin, count up three pieces, then count down two pieces horizontally. Remember the order and tap with your wand. Have fun!"
The originally solid brick wall caved in, and then a small hole appeared. The dark red bricks rotated and spread out on both sides, forming an opening big enough for two people to pass through.

Anna pulled her mother along a cobblestone path and walked forward. Suddenly, the path opened up.
