Chapter 1 A New Life at Hogwarts

London, 145th Street.

The most famous building on this street is an orphanage.

At this moment, in a room of the orphanage, a boy wearing a denim jacket stood alone by the window.

He was holding a letter in his hand.

Judging from the contents of the letter, it is an admission notice.

On the back of the letter, a lion, a snake, an eagle, and a badger form a large letter H.

The letter had just been delivered to him.

No one knows how the letter was delivered to him, because the postman was not human, but an owl.

As soon as he opened the window, an owl flew in precisely and handed him the letter that was tied to his leg.

The boy looked excited. After quickly glancing at the letter, he folded it neatly and put it in his coat pocket.

"finally come!"

From the moment the boy received the letter, a mechanical electronic voice echoed in his mind.

[Ding! New player quest: After receiving the letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, please go to the Leaky Cauldron in London to check in!]

[The system has detected that you have received the letter from Hogwarts, thus meeting the quest activation requirements.]

Please head to the Break the Cauldron Bar to check in as soon as possible. Completing the task will earn you system rewards!

The Leaky Cauldron is located at the entrance to Diagon Alley in London.

It is the oldest pub in London, bar none.

Two years ago, the boy traveled to this place and became an ordinary child in the orphanage, named Eric Clapton, the same name as the legendary guitarist.

On his first day after arriving in this world, Eric knew he was a wizard.

Because at the moment he transmigrated, he awakened a cheat system called the "Strongest Wizard Sign-in System".

Apart from the notification on the first day, the system has remained silent for the past two years.

Eric was secretly depressed for a long time.

It wasn't until he received his Hogwarts acceptance letter today that the system finally issued him his first task.

It is July 1993.

Eric is 11 years old this year.

Coincidentally, Eric was a fan of the magical world in his previous life.

He's read all the original Harry Potter novels.

Now he himself has finally come into this world.

Without the slightest hesitation, Eric pushed open the door and strode forward.

……

afternoon.

Eric stood at the entrance of the Leaky Cauldron, holding his Hogwarts acceptance letter.

The Leaky Cauldron is located on an unassuming little street in London, surrounded by a large bookstore and a record store on the other side.

Using the address on the notice, he easily found the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron.

At the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron, there is a small, dark, and inconspicuous door.

Pedestrians constantly pass by on this street, but they ignore this door.

This bar is under a Muggle banishment spell; only wizards can see where the entrance is.

Eric took a deep breath, carefully picked up his acceptance letter, and pushed open the door without hesitation.

As Eric entered, the sound of wind chimes greeted him, revealing a dirty, run-down little bar.

This place is so dirty.

That was Eric's first impression.

The pitch-black walls all around Eric loomed over him like bricks.

Eric took a step forward, and his shoes immediately made a sticky sound, leaving a clear footprint on the floor.

The bar's decor is very old-fashioned, at least not in the style of this century.

It was daytime, but the bar was still dimly lit; if it weren't for the faint candlelight, Eric probably wouldn't have been able to see anything at all.

Based on this first impression, Eric concluded that if the bar was catering to Muggles, it would definitely not have any business.

[Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully arrived at the check-in location.]

[Please begin checking in now and do not leave the check-in area midway.]

As the system's voice rang out, Eric's eyes became vacant.

He felt a magical power suddenly envelop his entire body, gradually transforming it.

"Hey kid, don't just stand there like an idiot."

At that moment, a somewhat hunchbacked wizard walked out from behind the bar and spoke to Eric with an unfriendly expression.

He owns the Leaky Cauldron, and everyone calls him Old Tom.

After Eric pushed open the door, he stood there motionless, making him look like a little wizard who had accidentally wandered in.

Those who are not yet of school age.

Eric ignored old Tom's rant; he was now absorbed in the rewards the system had brought him.

[Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully checked in.]

[Reward received: Top-tier magic power.]

Seeing that Eric was still standing there without replying, old Tom became somewhat annoyed.

This little boy is clearly a wizard raised in a Muggle family; wizards from traditional wizarding families would never dress like him.

No wonder they lack common sense.

Old Tom walked up to Eric and gave Eric a shove on the shoulder without any politeness.

"Hey, I'm talking to you! Didn't you hear me?"

Eric was pushed back half a step, just as he came to his senses from the reward given by the system.

Then, Eric suddenly raised his head, his deep brown eyes gleaming!

A sudden gust of wind rose around him, and magic, like ocean waves, surged from his body and spread throughout the bar.

boom!

Old Tom had no time to react and was blasted away by the magic that Eric unleashed, falling backward onto the floor.

The other wizards in the bar who were relatively close to Eric did the same.

The candles in the bar went out in an instant, as if someone had suddenly turned down the brightness, making the room even darker.

But no one had time to worry about the lighting at that moment; Eric's magic was gathering into an invisible pressure that enveloped the entire bar.

Old Tom was pressed firmly to the ground by this pressure; he tried to get up, but he couldn't.

His expression turned utterly horrified.

Is this the materialization of magic?!

What is this terrifying sense of oppression?

Who is this person?

"Stop! You'll ruin the Muggle expulsion spell here!"

Old Tom shouted in a panic, his voice becoming extremely shrill.

He's right. The Leaky Cauldron was protected by the Muggle Expulsion Curse, which is why it was able to survive for so long under the noses of Muggle society.

If Eric continues to output magic like this, the Muggle Exorcism Charm will be completely ineffective.

This would expose the Leaky Cauldron to Muggles, and who knows how those Muggles would react if they suddenly saw a tavern pop up out there.

Upon hearing this, Eric's mind stirred, and he stopped releasing his magic.

This relieved the wizards in the Leaky Cauldron, and the oppressive feeling they had just experienced vanished instantly.

Old Tom struggled to his feet and asked shakily, "Who exactly are you?"

“My name is Eric Clapton, and I am a freshman at Hogwarts this year.”

His reply came in a calm and collected voice, with a gentle warmth unique to a young person.

Along with the sound came a smile on Eric's face.
