At the beginning of August, Le Yuan ended the four-person exploration trip and returned to London, England. When Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, saw Le Yuan again after a year, his forced smile was uglier than crying. Yui couldn't help but cover her mouth to stop laughing.
But this time, Le Yuan didn't ask Tom to do anything. Instead, he stayed in the hotel until August 11, when he received a letter from Dumbledore.
The content of the letter was not much, it just expressed the welcome to Le Yuan, and also informed that Hagrid, the warden of the hunting grounds of Hogwarts, would be sent to lead Le Yuan to buy some necessary items a week later on the 19th. On September 1st, he went to King's Cross Station to board the Hogwarts Express.
A week later, at noon on the 19th, after Le Yuan and Yui had just finished lunch, a burly man with a face almost completely covered by long unkempt hair and a thick tangled beard came to the door.
Le Yuan stood inside the door and looked at the giant in front of him. He compared his huge body and decided not to let him squeeze into the house.
The giant half bent over, staring at Le Yuan, asked in a deep voice: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Zack Phil?"
Le Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, I am. You are the Hagrid that Principal Dumbledore mentioned. Nice to meet you."
When Hagrid heard that Le Yuan was not very resistant to being different from ordinary people, he suddenly felt much closer to Le Yuan and wanted to enter the room. He half-bowed his body and walked into the room. He saw someone sitting on a chair with his eyes open. Looking at Yui with watery eyes, Hagrid raised his hand and said with a self-proclaimed kind smile: "Hello, little one."
However, Yui never judges people by their appearance. As a program that monitors mental states, Yui's instinct can sense the mental state of surrounding creatures. Although Hagrid's face looks a bit sinister, it expresses enough kindness, so Yui He also smiled and said: "Hello, big man!"
Hagrid looked around but couldn't find a place where he could stay, so he bent down and took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Le Yuan. He saw many book titles listed on it - "Standard Spells, Level 2" ", by Miranda Gorshak; "Breaking with the Goblin", by Gilderoy Lockhart; "Walking with Ghouls", by Gilderoy Lockhart; "Holiday with a Dominatrix" , written by Gilderoy Lockhart; "Walking with Trolls", written by Gilderoy Lockhart; "Traveling with Vampires", written by Gilderoy Lockhart; "Wandering with Werewolves", written by Gilderoy Lockhart by Gilderoy Lockhart; "A Year with the Tibetan Snowman" by Gilderoy Lockhart.
After seeing it, Le Yuan understood that these were the books needed by the protagonist Harry Potter's grade. He looked at Hagrid doubtfully and said: "If I read it correctly, these should be the magic books for the second grade of Hogwarts. Could it be?" Professor Dumbledore wants me to audit the second-year class?" In terms of magic level, Le Yuan almost outperformed all wizards except Dumbledore. Le Yuan was not sure how strong Dumbledore was holding the Elder Wand. clear.
Hagrid scratched his head and said: "This is the principal's arrangement. I don't know much about it, but you only need to prepare these books. The principal said you can do whatever you want, and there is no need to prepare anything else. Then let's go to Lili first. Go to Hen Bookstore!"
Le Yuan held Yui's hand and followed Hagrid. He saw Hagrid walking towards the wall of the small patio behind the Leaky Cauldron, and casually knocked on the three bricks on the trash can, two by two, and suddenly the entire wall shook violently. The entire building's wall was divided into two, revealing a street paved with soft stones.
Hagrid suddenly thought of something after entering. He turned his head and looked down at Le Yuan and asked, "By the way, do you have the money here with you? If not, I will take you to Gringotts to exchange it first."
Le Yuan casually took out a bag from his space backpack and shook it. The crisp sound of metal collision reached Hagrid's ears. Le Yuan smiled and said, "Of course I'm ready. I've lived here for a long time." , you probably have other things to do, do you want to go and do your business first?"
Hagrid suddenly had a smile on his face and said in a rough voice: "Can you, Mr. Phil? Thank you so much. I'm looking for a medicine to repel carnivorous slugs. They are destroying all the cabbage in the school." .”
After saying goodbye to Hagrid, Le Yuan bought a strawberry cream ice cream for Yui, and then bought a lot of books written by Gilderoy Lockhart at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore in addition to "Standard Spells, Level 2". After all, these The miscellaneous books are not among the magic books collected by Le Yuan.
Just as he finished buying the books, Le Yuan was about to leave, but found that a large group of people were already crowded outside the bookstore. Looking at the overcrowding, it was impossible to get out for a while. A large banner was pulled out upstairs: Gilderoy Lockhart's autographed autobiography is for sale today from 12:30 to 4:30 pm.
"We can meet him in person!" cried a witch. "I mean, he wrote almost all the books on the list!"
Le Yuan looked at the witch who screamed, and found that she was only about twelve or thirteen years old, with thick and unkempt brown hair, piercing brown eyes, large front teeth, and a very nervous expression, like a fanatical star-struck fan. Beside her were two boys of the same age. What caught Le Yuan's attention was one of them, a thin boy with dark hair and glasses. Le Yuan could feel a deeply hidden evil on his forehead. idea.
"A trio of Gryffindors?" Looking at the three young protagonists in front of him, Le Yuan couldn't help but turn his eyes to a wizard who was walking out of the crowd with a tired look on his face. He walked to the door and faced Addressing the crowd, he said: "Ladies, be quiet... don't crowd... watch out for books... "
Under Le Yuan's perception, the level of magic in Gilderoy Lockhart, a well-known and popular wizard, is pitifully small, or it is only slightly better than the protagonist Sanxiao on one side, and compared to an adult wizard. That's simply incomparable. It's no wonder that he failed in various ways when casting magic. With that little magic power, he could only spend time studying the "Forget It All" spell that can be easily cast by a second-year magic level.
However, Le Yuan also had to admire Gilderoy Lockhart's level of research. He was worthy of being born in Ravenclaw. He improved everything with his wisdom and agility, allowing him to fight against wizards who were stronger than him. Effectively erasing his memory, it's a pity that his cleverness was not used on the right path.
For Gilderoy Lockhart, who wanted to be famous, he never missed an opportunity. The moment Harry Potter spoke out, he captured Harry's position. When he saw the famous Harry After Lipot, he pulled him to his side, and the audience burst into applause.
Gilderoy Lockhart also knew that one should strike while the iron is hot. Just when everyone noticed him, he announced loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen... I am extremely happy and proud to announce that this September, I will Become the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"
At this time, Draco Malfoy, the mortal enemy of the protagonist Harry Potter, saw Harry walking out of the crowd and began to sarcastically say: "Look, who is this? The famous Harry Potter. You must like this very much, Mr. Potter." ." Then he said with a unique sarcastic smile: "The famous Harry Potter cannot even enter a bookstore without becoming front-page news."
Ginny, Harry's die-hard loyalist, couldn't see it and was the first to jump out in defense: "Don't talk nonsense, he doesn't want that!"
"Potter, you found a girlfriend!" Malfoy drawled. Ginny's face turned red as Ron and Hermione crowded over, each holding a stack of Lockhart's books.
As soon as Ron saw Malfoy, he immediately took the hatred value from Ginny and began to fight with Malfoy. But it was obvious that Malfoy was more sharp-tongued, and after a while, Ron's face turned red and he was speechless for a long time.
Just when Ron was about to show off his martial arts skills, Harry and Hermione quickly pulled him away.
However, the quarrel between the children was soon transferred to the adults. Mr. Malfoy's venomous tongue was a family tradition, and his sarcastic remarks made Weasley, the same father, speechless.
Le Yuan watched all this, and Draco Malfoy, who had fully used his taunting skills, triggered a fight between the Malfoy family and Weasley. In the chaos, two adult wizards, Weasley and Malfoy, struggled together. Fortunately, Hagrid arrived in time to separate the two. However, Weasley's lip was broken, and Malfoy had a swollen eye.
As if to vent his anger, Malfoy stuffed the old Transfiguration textbook he was holding into the cauldron in Ginny's hand. However, the sharp-eyed Le Yuan discovered that underneath the Transfiguration textbook was a black... Notebook, Le Yuan pretended to walk past Ginny, brushed his hand on the crucible, and activated the object control spell on his hand at the same time.
The black notebook quietly touched Le Yuan's hand, and the next second the notebook disappeared from Le Yuan's hand.
Just when Le Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and thought he could easily spend a school year, the system's reassuring reminder appeared in his ears again—
Optional mission one: Horcrux researcher
Mission description: As a magic explorer, when you see this rare and almost extinct magic, why don’t you do some research? Each destroyed Horcrux will reward you with 1,000 points, 10 experience points, and 1 attribute point. If you fail, 3,000 points will be deducted.
Le Yuan naturally accepted such a lucrative task. While shopping for a book, I met the protagonist Sanxiao and successfully started an optional mission. Le Yuan pulled Yui out of Flourish Blossom Bookstore.
Although Dumbledore said that Le Yuan could do whatever he wanted, in order not to make himself independent, Le Yuan specially took Yui to Madam Malkin's robe store and ordered a set of automatic ironing for himself and Yui. and restorative wizard robes.
After everything was done, Le Yuan returned to the hotel. After closing the door and placing warning and protective magic in the room, Le Yuan used the mirror technique on the floor-to-ceiling window on one side, and then pulled Yui into the mirror world.
