Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 203 Heading to the French Magic Street (Second Update)

In the twenty-odd days before school starts, Jerry doesn't plan to spend all his time in Diagon Alley; instead, he plans to make another trip to the French magic street.

However, because he has a tether, he cannot perform magic outside of the wizarding community in England, and he cannot take a plane without a passport. He can only take a train to the coastal city of Hastings first, and then ride the Thestral Black Charcoal across the Channel into France.

Fortunately, Hastings is not far from London; it only takes two hours by train.

Actually, he could have ridden his Thestral directly from London to France, but London is the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic, and it would have been troublesome if he had accidentally run into other wizards.

Therefore, it is safer to choose ordinary means of transportation.

Somewhere on the coast of Hastings, Jerry released Black Charcoal, who rode it across the Strait of Dover and into France.

After casting an illusion on both Hei Tan and himself, the two flew off towards Paris.

Black Charcoal flew incredibly fast, and in less than half an hour, he arrived over Paris.

Landing on a famous pedestrian street in France, Jerry put away his charcoal and used a shapeshifting spell to transform into an elderly man with a cane, wearing a suit and exuding an air of nobility.

Strolling to the center of an upward staircase on the left side of the pedestrian street, there stands a rectangular stone pillar with a half-naked Greek girl carved on it.

Jerry stepped forward, grasped the girl's hand, and channeled some magic into it. The stone statue girl immediately came to life, revealing a stone door beneath her large enough for one person to pass through.

He pushed open the stone door and walked into the passageway. When he came out again, he had arrived at the French Magic Street, which he had visited once before.

Last time, he followed the Quidditch team and used Floo Powder from the French Ministry of Magic to get to Magical City, but this time he went through the normal entrance to Magical City.

After entering the magic street, Jerry didn't go shopping. Instead, he found a proper wizard hotel to stay in.

Because he will likely be staying here until Hogwarts starts.

Jerry's purpose in coming to the French Magic Street this time was still the black market, but not for magical items. Instead, he wanted to see if he could buy some magical creatures with decent abilities, or even their eggs, through the black market in the French Magic Street.

He has now mastered contract magic. Although he can't contract thousands of magical creatures yet, contracting a few shouldn't be a problem.

However, it's impossible to buy some powerful and dangerous magical creatures through legitimate channels.

So he thought of the black market in France.

If he can buy a magical creature that suits his taste, that would be great. If not, buying some decent magical items is still a good deal.

Moreover, in France, without the worry of being a shadow, he could use magic however he wanted.

"Could you please get me a room?"

Jerry, leaning on his cane, arrived at the hotel reception and placed a bag of Galleons on the table.

The fairy, who was standing on the counter chair doing the accounts, looked up at the bag full of glittering Galleons on the table and immediately responded with a fawning expression:

"My esteemed sir, it would be my honor!"

As he spoke, he jumped off the chair and personally led Jerry upstairs.

Unlike house-elves, who live like slaves, fairies, who look similar, are currently the only beings in the wizarding world who can rival human wizards.

It's not that they are so powerful, but that they control almost the entire economic lifeline of the wizarding world.

Gringotts, the only bank in the wizarding world, is basically controlled by the goblin race, and their influence extends to many shops in the wizarding district.

Moreover, they are very skilled at making precious special metals and silverware.

The Gryffindor sword, which can kill the basilisk and absorb its venom to become infinitely stronger, was made by the most powerful goblin king of the Middle Ages.

Even so, in terms of raw power, they were still no match for the wizarding community. Several fairy rebellions in history were quelled by the wizards with ease.

Following the fairy boss into the room, Jerry closed the door and leaped into the box space.

At this moment, the space in the box had increased five times in size compared to before, thanks to his continuous expansion using the Seamless Stretch Spell.

Moreover, some time ago, he flew to the suburbs of New York, disguised himself as a businessman, and bought a large number of cattle, sheep and various livestock, which he then grazed in the newly expanded enclosure.

Currently, it is mainly supplied to Norbert and charcoal consumers.

As for Crook Mountain, one fish is enough for it to eat two meals.

After three months of growth, Norber has grown even bigger. Although he can't fly yet, he can flap around and stay in the air for several tens of seconds.

If it weren't so fat, Jerry felt it might have stayed longer.

Norber's flames were no longer small flames, but real raging flames filled with thick black smoke. They were quite powerful, mainly because they covered a very wide area from above, making them a true area-of-effect spell. Moreover, they were silent and could be unleashed at will.

However, Jerry has given it orders not to breathe fire in the box space unless necessary, lest it accidentally burn the house down.

After studying magic in the box space for several hours, he estimated that it was already completely dark outside before leaving the box space and quietly leaving the hotel where he was staying.

The black market can only exist at night.

It's the same familiar bar entrance, and the same familiar portrait of a French witch dancing in a long dress.

Just in case, Jerry used a Distortion Charm to change his appearance again and stepped into the bar, which was still very lively.

It seems that the Auror's capture last time did not frighten these dark wizards.

Indeed, since this bar is located here, and even the Aurors know perfectly well that there is a black market beneath it, then many things are not as simple as they seem on the surface.

It's likely that in many cases, the Aurors' capture is just a warning.

Just like last time, because the Four Nations Quidditch Tournament was to be held, the French Ministry of Magic did not want any trouble to happen at that time, so that's why there was that arrest.

Normally, it's estimated that very few Aurors would come here, otherwise the black market wouldn't be open so blatantly.

As they approached the staircase leading to the underground black market, before the wizard on the stairs could react, Jerry had already quietly snapped his fingers:

"This is misleading!"

Suddenly, the male wizard guarding the stairs began to look confused.

The Confusion Charm is an advanced mind control spell that can put the target in a state of confusion and mental disorder without any warning.

And once they're fully awake, they'll just think they've taken a nap.

After Jerry had entered the basement, the wizard guarding the stairs finally came to his senses and scratched his head in confusion:

What happened to me? Was I sleepy?
