Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 24 The Journey Begins at Platform Nine and Three-Quarters

As darkness receded, consciousness returned to the body.

When Jerry opened his eyes again, he was no longer at his home in Queens, New York, but at Edward's Orphanage in London.

He took a deep breath, picked up the large suitcase he had packed before leaving, placed it on the trolley, picked up Crookshan, and began pushing the trolley toward the orphanage gate.

Because of Professor McGonagall's instructions before she left a month ago, the current director of Edward Orphanage was already waiting there in his car.

Not every ordinary person can calmly accept the mysterious existence of wizards.

Many ordinary people during this period, especially the elderly, probably felt more fear and awe when they learned that wizards truly existed in this world.

The director of Edward's Orphanage was like that.

So the dean remained almost entirely silent and cautious throughout the journey to King's Cross Station in London with Jerry.

Jerry didn't try to talk to the dean either, because he felt it wasn't necessary.

The town of Windon is quite a distance from London's King's Cross Station. The car journey took more than two hours, and we finally arrived at the station around 10 a.m.

After putting Jerry and his suitcase down, the dean politely said "Be careful" and then hurriedly drove away in his car.

It's likely that this dean won't choose King's Cross Station again if he takes the train in the future.

There's actually a platform here specifically set up for wizards, that's terrifying!

The ticket shows a departure time of 11:00, and it's only a little past 10:00 now, so there's plenty of time.

Jerry is used to doing everything ahead of time. It's always better to be on the train a little early than to be delayed by an unexpected event and miss the train.

With the ticket given to him by Professor McGonagall, he entered the station without any problems, and then followed the signs to find the partition wall between Platform 9 and Platform 10.

"This must be the legendary Platform Nine and Three-Quarters!"

Jerry stood in front of the wall and observed that all the travelers in the vicinity would subconsciously avoid it when passing by, so he knew that he must have found the right spot.

Pushing his little cart, he didn't just crash in like in the movies. Instead, he looked curious and slowly walked towards the wall.

Why must we crash?

What if we make a mistake and end up bumping our heads? We can still walk in slowly, it's not like we can't get in.

You can also experience the unique sensation of passing through walls.

The trolley made contact with the wall as if it were touching air, sinking in without any resistance.

"Is this spatial magic, or just an illusion magic?"

As Jerry, pushing a cart through the wall with Crookshank, passed by, a sense of doubt arose in his mind.

Although it's called spatial magic, he didn't experience the same spatial compression he felt when teleporting with Professor McGonagall. And if it's just an illusion, it doesn't feel quite like it.

He shook his head. He had only been exposed to magic for a short time, and such profound questions were clearly beyond his comprehension.

After passing through the wall, a five-meter-long wrought iron archway appeared before us, with the words "Platform 9¾" engraved above it.

Pushing the cart forward, the magical wizard's platform slowly began to unfold before his eyes.

The first thing that catches the eye is a striking deep red steam train, with a large sign on its side that reads "Hogwarts Express, 11:00!"

The open space next to the steam train was densely packed with wizards dressed in wizard robes and all sorts of magical pets.

After weaving through the crowded streets, amidst a cacophony of farewells and well-wishes, Jerry quickly found a relatively empty carriage.

Because he arrived early, there are still quite a few empty seats in most of the carriages.

He casually opened an empty private room, tidied it up, and then activated his "refreshing" function, taking out the book "Potions and Elixirs" to read.

In preparation for dealing with the crisis of four armed robbers, Jerry spent a month studying magic theory and spells.

Now that the crisis is over, he needs to review the other textbooks before the start of the new semester.

In the magical world of Harry Potter, besides all sorts of strange spells, he felt that potions were the most useful.

A compound decoction that can make someone completely disguise themselves as another person.

Truth serum, which forces users to tell the truth; and love potion, the most potent aphrodisiac that causes users to develop a strong obsession or infatuation with themselves.

And Felix Felicis, which grants incredible luck and smooth sailing in all endeavors after consumption.

These will definitely be very useful when brought to the Marvel universe.

Therefore, Jerry is very interested in potion-making.

Moreover, good potions are very expensive. If you master potion-making and become a potion master, you will never be short of money in the wizarding world.

Just look at the poor Lupin and the rich Snape to see how important it is to master Potions.

In terms of strength, Lupin is not much weaker than Snape; the two are on the same level.

In terms of background, Lupin's father was an official working for the Ministry of Magic, while Snape's father was a Muggle, and a Muggle who was an alcoholic, short-tempered, and prone to domestic violence.

As time went by, the number of little wizards in the carriage gradually increased.

After reading "Potions and Magic" for half an hour, Jerry turned off the "energizing" function, put away the magic book, and began to lean back in his seat and close his eyes to rest.

Because turning on the "energizing" function puts a considerable burden on his brain, in order to prevent him from falling into deep sleep again, he usually turns it on for half an hour, and then waits one to two hours before turning it on again after he has fully recovered.

This method, while not the most efficient, is the safest.

The most efficient method is to start the program for half an hour, then go into deep sleep for half an hour, then start it for another half hour, and then go into deep sleep for another half hour, and so on, continuously.

However, firstly, being in a deep sleep, he would be completely without vigilance or protection. Secondly, his little red star simply wouldn't be enough to sustain him.

One little red star per minute, so you can drive for twelve hours a day. If you drive for twelve hours a day, you'll consume seven hundred and twenty little red stars.

He only has a little over six thousand, and he needs to use up a hundred every day he stays in the Harry Potter world. At that rate, he can't stay for more than a few days before he has to return.

The key point is that even if you activate your "mind-boosting" skills, relying solely on self-study in isolation is still very inefficient.

Therefore, his plan is to use the Little Red Star as much as possible to maintain the number of days he can stay in this world, and only use it to help with memory and understanding when it is crucial for learning.

Because each time you leave this world, there is a one-month cooldown period before you can re-enter it.

He could have spent as much time as possible learning magical knowledge in the small world and storing it in his brain. Then, during the cooldown period, he could have tried to earn more red stars and used "refreshing" techniques to summarize and comprehend the concepts.
