Harry Potter: I started checking in from Diagon Alley

He was only temporarily bypassing the wand's obstruction by using this method, allowing him to successfully cast the spell.

If other wizards saw Eric's proposed solution, they would probably be terrified.

Anyone who has studied the basic principles of spellcasting should not recklessly manipulate their magic.

The reason why no Hogwarts teacher recommends that first-year students learn magic on their own is because the principles of magic are too complicated for ordinary students.

If students are allowed to run wild, it's hard to guarantee that someone like Eric won't emerge.

But Eric possesses a strong moral compass and powerful mental strength.

He was also confident enough in his control over magic.

That's why he insisted on going his own way.

In fact, only Eric can use this method.

For most people, whether they can consciously feel their own magic is a question.

Not to mention using magic in two parts.

Wizards are also required to concentrate when casting spells.

If you don't put all your effort into releasing the spell, it could easily lead to very serious consequences.

In the past few days, Eric has seen many similar stories in his textbooks.

Eric knew about things like mispronouncing a syllable and causing a wand to explode.

Eric found the wizarding spellcasting system to be both rigorous and filled with chaotic and idealistic concepts.

Even a slight mispronunciation of a word or an incorrect angle of the spellcasting gesture can easily cause the spell to fail to be cast, or even backfire on the caster.

The idealistic perspective is even more evident in spells like the Guardian Angel Spell, which involve the soul.

When casting a Guardian Charm, the wizard needs to provide joyful and positive emotions as nourishment for the spell.

Otherwise, even if the rest of your parts are flawless, you still won't be able to cast the Guardian Spell.

This is why many dark wizards are unable to summon their guardian spirit.

Their minds have been severely warped by dark magic, making them completely unable to adapt to positive and uplifting spellcasting methods.

Eric smiled as he looked at the guardian spirit before him. With a wave of his wand, the guardian spirit vanished, turning into a few strands of pure white silk that disappeared into the air.

When Eric picked up the wand again, he keenly noticed the difference.

The acacia wand now appears to have completely lost the awe-inspiring presence it had just displayed in stopping Eric from casting his spell.

The resistance to Eric's magic has been greatly reduced.

Eric raised his hand and casually cast a Light Spell in the normal way.

This time, there was still a slight resistance from the acacia wand, but only a little, which slightly disrupted Eric's magic output for a short while, and had no other effect.

After Eric withdrew his magic from the wand, the acacia wand became limp, but it remained resilient.

There is more than one way in which wizards and wands recognize each other.

It is also possible to try to subdue the wand with time, just like Eric did.

No matter how incompatible the wood used to make a wand may be with the wizard at first, after years of being imbued with magic, the wand will gradually become more in tune with the wizard.

It's just a matter of how long it will take.

Of course, this is on the premise that the wizard can effectively suppress the wand.

Of course, someone like Ollivander wouldn't work; his magic power wouldn't even reach the minimum required to power an acacia wand.

At this rate, Eric estimates he will soon be able to completely subdue the wand.

……

Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge has been in a bad mood lately.

A major event has occurred in the magical world these past few days.

This is a serious matter that could potentially affect his career.

Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban.

Fudge's expression turned sour at the thought of this terrible news.

Who is Sirius Black? He was one of Voldemort's top henchmen back in the day.

He was a peerless killer who could kill thirteen people with a single spell.

This dangerous individual escaped from prison, specifically from Azkaban, which is supposedly the safest prison in the world.

Fudge really wanted to use the Patronus Charm to wipe out all the Dementors guarding Azkaban.

He would have given the order long ago if the ministry hadn't been so short-handed as to replace the Dementors in guarding Azkaban.

Although the Dementors had always served the Ministry of Magic well, Sirius Black's escape from prison was enough to severely damage the Ministry's reputation.

In addition, news has recently come from someone planted next to Harry Potter.

Harry Potter actually ran away from his uncle's house.

According to the informant, Ha used magic to take revenge on his aunt and then ran away from home.

It's really a leak in the house that happened to rain in the night.

Black escapes from prison, and coincidentally, Harry Potter runs away from home at the same time.

With both things happening at once, Fudge was in a real bind.

Fudge certainly knew that Black was the one who betrayed Harry Potter's parents.

If Black finds Harry Potter before the Ministry of Magic, whatever happens, Fudge will definitely be out of a job as Minister.

The mere fact that the boy who miraculously survived had an accident during his term would mean Fudge could never return to politics.

Looking at the reports from major media outlets that his secretary had presented to him on his desk, Fudge gritted his teeth in hatred.

It was almost entirely filled with criticisms of him.

The idea that Fudge's appointment exacerbated the corruption within the Ministry of Magic, which led to Black's escape, is a prime example.

Neuropathy!

The Dementors are the guards of Azkaban, and they wouldn't accept bribes from ordinary wizards. What does Fudge have to do with the Dementors' poor guarding?

However, another report in that newspaper caught his attention.

Who attacked Diagon Alley? Was it a protest or retaliation? Is Blake suspected of having entered Diagon Alley?

Upon seeing the report, Fudge's eyes widened involuntarily as he carefully read through it.

Fudge then hurriedly had his secretary summon the director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, slamming his fist on the table and asking, "Diagon Alley was attacked? How come I didn't know about this?"

"What?" The Director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters looked bewildered, then picked up the newspaper and exclaimed in surprise, "Such a thing actually happened?"

Fouché said, "Aren't you the Director of the Accidents and Disasters Division?"

"Yes, but nobody told me this," the director said, shrugging.

"Damn it! You need to follow up on this right now and tell me as soon as you have any news. If it really is Blake who has infiltrated Diagon Alley, then we're in big trouble."

The director smiled wryly and said, "I'll go back to the department and investigate immediately, but I'd better let you know if there's any news. The newspaper gets here faster than it gets to the department."

“*u0026￥#￥u0026!” Fudge cursed, then flung his hand away. “Fine, I’ll go to Diagon Alley myself.”

Chapter 20 Harry Potter was also in a bad mood.

"So, Sirius Black escaped from prison a few days ago, which is why everyone's been in such a hurry lately?"

Eric looked at the person in front of him, put down his newspaper, and asked the person opposite him.

It was already late at night.

The group sat in the lobby of the Leaky Cauldron, bathed in candlelight, the surroundings as dilapidated and messy as ever.

Apart from Eric, everyone in the bar had a serious expression on their face.

This made the atmosphere even more somber.

Old Tom dared not neglect the visitors and immediately woke Eric up upon their arrival.

Sitting opposite Eric at that moment was the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.

Accompanying him was an entire well-trained Auror squad.

Upon entering, the experienced Aurors immediately guarded the entrances and exits of the Leaky Cauldron, with many even taking out their wands.

Although this action seemed unnecessary after seeing Eric.

Because Eric appears harmless and is unlikely to have any connection with Blake.

The Aurors standing around all looked exhausted.

Because of Blake's escape, the team had been struggling to continue their investigation for several days.

The officers on duty tonight were rushed to Diagon Alley by the minister, who said he was there to catch Sirius Black, who might be spotted there.

Seeing Eric sitting in front of Fudge, every Auror felt utterly speechless.

No matter how you look at it, he's just a little kid; he doesn't look like a dark wizard at all.

Even if he was the one who caused the disturbance at Flourish and Blotts, that doesn't mean he could be arrested.

That was an accidental event, and according to the rules, it's not under the jurisdiction of the Aurors.

That falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters.

No wizards were injured in the incident caused by Eric, and no one alerted the Ministry of Magic.

So the ministry didn't receive any news at all.

This further proves that the incident was insignificant and that the media was simply jumping to conclusions and trying to create a big story.

Does Fudge think the Aurors have too many people to spare, allowing them to be deployed so easily?

Based solely on a possible piece of information published in the newspaper, he rushed to the Broken Cauldron Bar overnight via the Filo website.

He didn't even consider that if the ruthless killer Blake were really here, could a few Aurors really capture him?
