Harry returns from Hogwarts Legacy

Chapter 61: Soul Out of Body (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

Ok……

Harry had also thought about what to give to the professors.

Not only professors, but also classmates and cousin Dudley should give some gifts.

It's just that Professor Snape is a bit difficult to deal with. Harry only knows that he is a master of potions. If he sends potions to him, it might not be as good as what he can make himself.

what can we do about it?

Harry lay in bed, struggling for a long time, and finally came up with a solution that was not a solution.

correct!

Since Professor Snape has a good relationship with Mom and Dad, why not give him a photo of Mom and Dad as a Christmas gift?

Thinking of this, Harry made up his mind.

The photo of his parents was the one Hagrid had given him before. Perhaps Hagrid was afraid that he would lose it, so he thoughtfully copied several identical ones for him.

Then give this one!

When Harry set out the next day, he did not forget to bring a shopping list.

In addition to the gifts to be bought for professors and friends, there are also some ingredients for potions, such as aging potions; and clothes suitable for wearing after aging.

An aging potion is a magical potion that determines the degree of age of the user based on the dosage. This is related to Harry's next plan.

As you get older, you will be relatively freer, and even if you go in and out of Knockturn Alley, you won't attract attention.

After all, Knockturn Alley is a place similar to an underground black market, and an eleven-year-old wizard cannot enter and leave freely without his parents.

In Knockturn Alley, you can also buy good things that are not sold outside, such as cabbage seeds.

Although Harry is not lacking in courage, he has become a little more prudent after being influenced by his friends for so long.

Then I should bring more biting cabbages to make up for the current lack of combat power, Harry thought.

After getting off the bus at the Leaky Cauldron, Mr. Granger made an appointment with them to meet in the afternoon, and then he hurried to the bank.

Harry took Ron for a long walk in Diagon Alley and bought everything they needed.

What he didn't expect was that at the door of Zonko's Joke Shop, Harry actually saw a sign saying that the store sold aging agents.

But the price is several times more expensive than the raw materials.

Harry gritted his teeth and bought a bunch of joke products, mixing the aging agents into the prank props to make them less prominent.

After the purchase, Harry took Ron to Ollivander's wand shop.

Apparently the school season was over and the wand shop had entered its off-season. Harry had to call out several times before Mr. Ollivander noticed someone coming in.

"It's rare to see little wizards here at this time." Mr. Ollivander came out, and when he saw Harry, he extended his hand and walked forward: "Hello, Mr. Potter, we meet again."

"Hello, Mr. Ollivander." Harry pulled Ron, "This is my good friend Ron. I want to buy him a wand as a Christmas present -"

Mr. Ollivander turned his eyes away and Ron lowered his head a little awkwardly.

"It's the youngest son of the Weasley family." Mr. Ollivander smiled and said nothing more. Instead, he asked, "Can you show me the wand you are using now?"

Ron took out Charlie's old wand and handed it to Mr. Ollivander.

Mr. Ollivander took the wand and exclaimed, "Ah, this wand, I remember it - pear wood, unicorn tail hair, twelve inches... I think this little Mr. Weasley would feel a strong sense of obstruction when he used spells normally?"

"Yes, sir," Ron replied stiffly.

"That's right. Unicorn tail hair usually casts the most stable spells and is least likely to fluctuate or get stuck." Mr. Ollivander said at this point and changed the subject: "However, they are the most loyal of all wands and usually stick closely to the first owner of the wand, regardless of whether the owner is a highly accomplished wizard or not."

"If you were not the younger brother of the first owner of this wand, I'm afraid this feeling of obstruction would be even stronger." Mr. Ollivander looked at Harry again and said gently, "Mr. Potter's discovery was very timely. Otherwise, this wand would have seriously hindered your progress in learning spells."

"So that's what's going on..." Ron whispered.

He originally thought that Harry was just taking care of his feelings and that's why he said that, but after hearing what Mr. Ollivander said, he understood Harry's true good intentions.

"Thank you, Harry," said Ron gratefully.

"We are good friends, aren't we?" Harry replied with the same smile. Mr. Ollivander adjusted his glasses, took out a tape measure from the cabinet, measured Ron's body, and said to him, "Come on, Mr. Weasley, try this."

He pulled out a wand: "Acacia wood, dragon heartstring, nine inches."

Before Ron could take the wand, he immediately put it back.

"No, no, this isn't suitable for a little wizard like you...well, this one, walnut, dragon heartstring, nine and a half inches." Mr. Ollivander handed Ron a new wand.

Ron took the wand and tried it, causing a strong wind to blow across the table.

"No, no, no, this one." Mr. Ollivander snatched the wand away and handed Ron a new one: "Willow, unicorn tail hair, fourteen inches."

A miracle happened. The moment Ron took the wand, the head of the wand burst into brilliant light.

"Yes, that's it, that's it!" Mr. Ollivander stamped his foot happily. "Come on, Mr. Weasley, you can try to cast a spell with it."

Ron said nothing and waved his hand to cast a spell.

"Expelliarmus!"

A red light hit a stone in the wand shop, making a dull sound.

"Cool..." Ron held the wand and grinned at it as if it were a treasure.

Harry was also happy that his good friend had obtained a wand that suited him. After paying Mr. Ollivander seven Galleons, he and Ron walked out of the wand shop together.

"Let's go have some lunch," said Harry, as he tucked the bottle of ageing potion into his arms.

"Okay." Ron was still excited, and he obviously wanted to cast a few more spells.

Even in the British wizarding world, the best restaurants are still French restaurants.

Harry led Ron into the restaurant and sat down at a table against the wall.

Ron was still looking at the new wand in his hand with gluey eyes, and the old wand was completely forgotten about.

After taking a few bites of food, Harry whispered to Ron, "Ron, I'm going to the bathroom first."

"Oh, okay," Ron replied automatically.

After reaching the bathroom, Harry took off his clothes and put them in his small pocket, then took out the aging potion and drank it all.

With the crackling of bones, a nineteen-year-old Harry appeared in the same place in a moment.

This familiar feeling...

He changed into clothes suitable for his age and walked out of the bathroom.

Seeing that Ron was still playing with his wand, Harry didn't call him. He put his collar up and strode out of the restaurant.

Knockturn Alley is a mess, even dirtier and messier than the slums in London.

The tattered brick and stone roads, the dirty walls, and the dark wizard leaning against the wall, looking as haggard as an Inferi, it was obvious that this was not a decent place.

Almost the moment Harry stepped into Knockturn Alley, he was targeted by dark wizards.

Harry ignored them and didn't show any fear, just walked forward.

He deliberately turned into a small alley, and sure enough, a skinny wizard with big black teeth and a ferocious look appeared in front of him.

"Boy, this is not the place for you." The wizard looked at Harry with a fierce smile: "Hand over your money, and I, Daweima, will guarantee your safety!"

What he didn't expect was that this boy, who looked like a rookie, was not afraid at all, but gave him a meaningful smile.

Now that you came to me on your own initiative, you can't blame me! Harry thought.

He put his hand to his mouth and stared directly into the eyes of the Dark wizard.

"Imperio!"

(Please give me some monthly tickets, thank you brother, and please invest in more books, thank you. It will look good if there are more investors, right? If others see it, they will think that we can't afford it!)
