Hogwarts: My Spell Infinite Derivation

Chapter 16 A Huge Profit! I'm So Reassured

Upon hearing Charles's words, Professor McGonagall, who was about to head towards the Leaky Cauldron, stopped abruptly, her serious face showing a look of bewilderment and doubt.

She wondered if she had misheard.

Apparition, fun, fun?

Is it fun to be flushed around by a toilet?

Is this what Muggle kids like to do now?

Although she didn't know what the roller coaster and Ferris wheel that Charles mentioned were, Professor McGonagall had already decided that if she ever entered the Muggle world, she would definitely stay far away from these two things.

Then, Professor McGonagall felt a bit awkward.

It was getting late, and she still had two places to visit...

But seeing the longing look on Shire's face, Professor McGonagall's heart softened.

According to the information, this child is an orphan who has never had parental love since childhood. He even has to rely on the prize money he wins in competitions to get food.

How pitiful.

Not to mention that he recently celebrated his eleventh birthday in such terrible circumstances, which made Professor McGonagall even more heartbroken.

After a moment, Professor McGonagall nodded.

"Alright, let's do Apparition again."

Immediately, she grabbed Charles's hand again, and the two Apparated back to the outside of St. Mungo's Hospital.

During this apparition, Charles consciously focused his mind, observing the distorted space and the rapidly receding scenery.

He felt as if he were looking at an oil painting with lines so chaotic and indescribable.

The dizziness this caused was much stronger than the first Apparition.

As soon as he landed, Charles couldn't help but vomit loudly to the side.

While he was vomiting, the Deep Blue System's voice rang in Xia Er's mind, reminding him that he had obtained more references this time, and the points required for the first deduction of Apparition had been reduced by 10,000 points.

The initial simulation that originally required 50,000 points now only requires 35,000 points!

Rounding down, it's equivalent to saving Shire the equivalent of one bottle of Sublimation Potion's worth of deduction points!

Think about the disgusting experience of drinking a sublimation potion; Apparition is just like being thrown into a toilet—it's so much better.

Blood earned!

After he finished vomiting, Charles looked up at Professor McGonagall.

"Professor, let's do it again! It's so much fun, so incredibly fun!"

Professor McGonagall was completely bewildered, feeling as if she no longer understood the young wizards of today.

Isn't this just asking for trouble when you've committed no crime?

But at Charles's earnest pleading, Professor McGonagall reluctantly agreed to Apparate with Charles a few more times.

In Xia Er's mind, the notification sound from the Deep Blue System kept ringing.

Unfortunately, even though he was focused intently on the distorted space, the reduction in deduction points each time it occurred gradually decreased.

Until the very last time, they simply indicated that it was no longer of any reference value and could not be reduced any further.

At this point, the number of points required for the initial deduction of Apparition has dropped to 20,000!

Charles then stood up, supporting himself on his trembling legs, indicating that he had really had enough fun.

Professor McGonagall finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, even if she were an adult wizard, these few Apparitions were disgusting enough.

She was terrified that she would throw up in front of Ciel and ruin her image. Fortunately, Ciel finally had his fill of fun.

After calming down, Professor McGonagall was finally able to take Shire into the infamous Leaky Cauldron.

The Leaky Cauldron was now filled with wizards.

Many people are talking about the death of the vicious black wizard Dak.

Some people call Ciel "another boy who survived a great calamity".

While this is mentioned, many people are excitedly discussing another topic: when exactly will Harry Potter, the boy who survived so many tragedies, enter the wizarding world through the Leaky Cauldron?

Charles paid no attention to these discussions.

All his attention was focused on the food he saw as he walked through the Leaky Cauldron.

Unfortunately, all that was visible to the naked eye were ordinary foods.

Even if some dishes are different, the ingredients used are all ingredients that can be found in the Muggle world.

With this food, even eating eight meals a day would only increase a few scattered deduction points, far less than the recovery meals at St. Mungo's Hospital with added magical herbs.

"It seems that until I find a more suitable source of magical food, I'll have to make St. Mungo's Hospital my canteen."

With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Charles followed Professor McGonagall through the Leaky Cauldron and arrived at the famous wall from the original story.

Professor McGonagall drew her wand and demonstrated to Shire how to find the brick he needed to knock on based on the location of the trash cans along the wall, thus gaining access to Diagon Alley.

Charles then asked Professor McGonagall yet another question that surprised her.

"Professor, why go through all this trouble to get into Diagon Alley?"

"Moreover, this method seems very unreliable."

"What if someone plays a prank and puts a bunch of identical trash cans against the wall?"

"Or perhaps someone tampered with the wall, using paint or some kind of magic to cover the entire wall up. Without a reference point, wouldn't it be impossible to open the door?"

Upon hearing Charles's questions, Professor McGonagall's expression suddenly became quite interesting, even showing a hint of gritted teeth, as if she had recalled some past event that had ignited her anger.

Then, she looked at Charles and asked with some hesitation.

"Ciel, why are you asking this?"

"You're not the kind of kid who likes to play pranks, are you?"

Charles shook his head repeatedly.

"I swear I have absolutely no interest in pranks; my only hobby is probably eating."

Professor McGonagall was slightly relieved, but still gave Charles some advice.

"When you go to Hogwarts, you have to be careful of the Weasley brothers. They did something just like what you described, which nearly drove Mrs. Weasley crazy."

"It took the Weasleys three whole days to restore this wall!"

After giving her instructions, Professor McGonagall revealed a hint of confidence.

"However, after that prank, in order to ensure that the traditional way of entering Diagon Alley is not destroyed in any way, the Ministry of Magic hired experts to cast various spells on the wall to ensure that it cannot be modified or transformed."

Upon hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Charles's eyes lit up.

"So, every brick in this wall has magic power; they're all magical items, and the magic they're imbued with is quite advanced?"

Professor McGonagall nodded with a hint of pride.

"I was also involved in this project, along with many other powerful wizards. We all used our best skills."

"In addition, every now and then, personnel from the Ministry of Magic will come to maintain it and replenish the spells and magic power on it."

"So you can rest assured, there will be absolutely no problems with this wall!"

Charles smiled with relief.

"Oh, I see."

"With these bricks here, no one can take them away or move them. The Ministry of Magic will also maintain them regularly, so I can really rest assured."
