Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 166 Procurement and Return (Fifth Update)

After waving goodbye, Jerry was about to head to the subway entrance when he ran into Daphne and her father, who was the director of the Magic Department's Key Office. He had no choice but to stop and politely greet them.

Having just said goodbye to Daphne and her father, they immediately encountered Malfoy and his son.

At this point, Jerry could only sigh that sometimes being too famous isn't a good thing. People greet you when they see you, and you can't just ignore them. As a result, it can take half a day to get off at the station.

Finally, he had no choice but to quicken his pace, find a less crowded spot, and rush into the subway entrance to avoid running into acquaintances again.

During the summer vacation, he definitely won't go to the orphanage. Just like at Christmas, he will rent a room at the Leaky Cauldron for two and a half months.

I have a salary, so I don't need to worry about this little bit of money.

This is where the benefits of having a real salary become apparent.

If he had earned the money by hunting giant spiders or other means that couldn't be openly acknowledged, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to legitimately rent a hotel room at the Leaky Cauldron.

The school must have known that he didn't go back to the orphanage during the summer vacation.

While he was at school, Snape asked him why he didn't go back to the orphanage or stay at school during the Christmas holidays, but instead chose to spend them alone at the Leaky Cauldron.

This indicates that the school was aware that he had not returned to the orphanage and had moved into the Leaky Cauldron.

Jerry's answer was that going back to the orphanage didn't make him happy. The reason he stayed at the Leaky Cauldron was that he wanted to earn some tuition fees by making some low-level potions so that he could pay back the school's grant.

Jerry didn't know that it was precisely because of his answer that Snape thought he was a strong-willed and proud child, thus giving up the idea of ​​sponsoring him.

Just two days before the holidays started, Snape specifically asked Jerry if he would like to spend the summer in Spider's End.

Jerry almost agreed at the time.

That would mean he would have plenty of time to learn magic from Snape. Although Snape usually gave him extra lessons, the lessons were usually not very long because Snape's own coursework was quite demanding.

The key point is that after spending two months with Snape, their relationship was bound to take a step further.

However, after some consideration, he decided to give up, because it seemed more worthwhile to spend two and a half months in the world of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice".

After all, once the sealing technique is mastered, Voldemort will no longer be a threat.

There's also dragon-taming magic, or rather, magic that allows you to control magical creatures—these will be extremely useful in the future!

As for having a pleasant summer vacation with Snape, that can wait until next time; there will be plenty of time later.

Diagon Alley, Leaky Cauldron.

Jerry placed a bag of Galleons on the table in front of his boss, Tom.

"Book a hotel room for a month and a half!"

"Yes, Mr. Carmen, I'll prepare the best room for you!"

Tom looked at the bag full of Galleons, rubbed his hands together, and a chrysanthemum-like smile immediately bloomed on his old face.

No hotel owner would refuse a big client who treats the hotel like his home.

After checking into the room, Jerry left his empty suitcase and headed to Diagon Alley again.

Having received two more months' salary, plus the prize money from the last competition, he needs to replenish his supplies before returning this time.

First, there are potions. He wants to buy all kinds of potions that are available on the market and that might be useful in the future, and keep them in reserve.

Next, he needs to buy a few owls to keep in the box space.

The owl's magical ability is that it can accurately locate a person simply by saying their name, no matter where they are hiding, unless the person uses magic that can evade the owl's tracking.

Jerry doesn't need owls to deliver messages, since it's far less convenient than a phone call, but he does need the owl's ability to find people.

Just like if he had an owl when Tony Stark was kidnapped, he could have written a letter to Tony Stark and then followed the owl to find the kidnapped Tony's location.

Finally, he needed to buy some high-end alchemical magical items, such as a two-way mirror worth up to three hundred Galleons.

A two-way mirror, simply put, can be understood as a video call tool similar to a mobile phone.

By simply picking up one mirror and calling out to the other, the other mirror will respond, allowing two wizards thousands of miles apart to have a video call using the two mirrors.

If the Apparition spell is used well enough, it can even be used to teleport directly to the location of another mirror by using the magical connection between mirrors.

To be honest, the two-way mirror video call function is not as convenient as a mobile phone, but it is a magical creation and cannot be tracked by normal technological means.

This is what Jerry values ​​most.

After buying all the necessary items, Jerry returned to his room, making a point of speaking to the bar owner, Tom, before leaving.

It means he'll book the room for a month and a half, but he might not stay there every day. Maybe he'll be traveling and staying in a Muggle hotel, or visiting a classmate's house, etc.

So don't worry if you find no one is home while cleaning the room.

The owner, Tom, said he had no problem with it at all; as long as the money was paid in full, he didn't care how many days the customer would stay.

Besides, there are so many weird wizards staying at the Leaky Cauldron that this is nothing special.

After resolving any potential issues and checking that nothing else had been left behind, especially Crook Mountain, Jerry returned to his room and began his return to the main world.

With a blink of an eye, the surroundings transformed from the wooden cabin of the Leaky Cauldron in London to a modern room in New York.

It's 2 a.m. on Tuesday, New York time.

Upon returning, Jerry didn't linger in the room but jumped directly into the box space.

At this point, thanks to Jerry's continuous efforts, the space inside the box had expanded to three times its original size.

Inside, besides the very conspicuous villa, you can also see a fire dragon that is already the size of a small elephant, which is Norber, a two-month-old Norwegian Spinosaurus.

Crookshan was currently lying on Norber's back, both the dragon and the cat were asleep.

Not far from them, a black, emaciated Thestral with bat wings could be seen leisurely eating a piece of bloody raw meat that Sun Long had fed him.

This Thestral was the one Jerry had brought from the Forbidden Forest Thestral tribe; it was the one he was closest to.

Not far away is a wall built with mimicry magic, inside which live many ordinary animals that Jerry caught from the Forbidden Forest, which is also Norber's source of happiness.

After arriving at the box space and greeting Sun Long, Jerry began practicing meditation again.

He never interrupts his nightly meditation practice unless there are special circumstances.

Magic is fundamental. If magic is insufficient, even the most powerful magic cannot be released. Moreover, meditation is related to longevity, and he cannot be negligent in this regard.

That's all for today. My back can't take it anymore. I'll try to update as much as possible for a week at the end of the month to thank everyone for their donations, subscriptions, and votes!
