Hogwarts: Starting as a Serpent Demon

"Feel sorry."

Witt realized what was happening and quickly ordered the Serpent Demon to come out from his sleeve.

"A mysterious person!"

A scream suddenly rang in Victor's ears.

It's hard to imagine that Ollivander, who speaks so softly, could produce such a sharp cry.

"Apparition".

Space spun and twisted, and Ollivander vanished from before Witte's eyes.

Most people wouldn't react this strongly to the Serpent Demon, but Ollivander has an excellent memory; events from decades ago seem like they happened yesterday to him.

The moment the serpent demon revealed its eyes, Ollivander's brain immediately reacted.

Without a second thought, he used Apparition to escape.

Leaving behind an embarrassed Witt, who stood there wishing he could carve out a Diagon Alley.

Thank goodness he brought colored contact lenses with him today; otherwise, Ollivander would have been scared away the moment he walked in.

"what happened?"

Seamus turned his head in confusion and asked, "Where did Mr. Ollivander go?"

"I think I just heard him let out a terrifying scream."

"Maybe he's afraid of snakes."

Witt touched the serpent demon's cold body and whispered, "Even the oldest person will scream when faced with something they're afraid of."

"Then what about your wand?" Seamus scratched his head, looking somewhat lost, unsure of what to do next.

"Just grab any wand. I remember the admission notice said that new students get a discount and all wands cost seven Galleons."

Ollivander just ran away for no reason. What could Witte do? He was desperate too.

I can't go to school without buying a wand, so I can only pick one at random.

"This isn't appropriate." Ximo felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

Witt spread his hands, saying helplessly, "What else can we do but wait here?"

“Okay.” Simon was convinced.

After placing the money on the table, Witt casually picked up a wand of similar length and walked out.

Ollivander's shop was so small that the parents of the two children only stayed inside for a short while before leaving because it was too crowded.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be any room to store the wand boxes that Ollivander brought out.

They agreed to meet at Florin's Ice Cream Shop.

Chapter 7 Magic Stone Powder

In the sweltering summer, popsicles are the most comforting thing.

As always, the popsicles in the magical world are unconventional. Every time he licks the smiley face on the Victor popsicle, the corner of his mouth twists downwards a little.

Until finally, her face turned completely sour.

Witt: "..."

He simply couldn't appreciate the wizard's peculiar aesthetic sense.

After eating the ice cream, Victor took out his wand and began to test it.

This is a magic wand made with the heartstrings of a dragon as its core.

It is approximately eleven inches long.

As for what kind of wood was used, Witt couldn't tell for the time being.

Aside from a few sparks when it was first swung, which prompted a warning from Victor, the wand became obedient afterward.

They began to obey Witte's commands.

It may not be as good as a carefully selected wand, but it works.

I'll make do for a while, until Witt pulls out a new wand from the achievement chest, then I'll replace this one.

"Next up are the school uniforms, and then the magic book."

Following the list, Victor bought each item one by one, and soon his hands were full of all sorts of things.

From a distance, it looks just like a goods rack.

Simo watched from the sidelines, secretly chuckling.

With the items hanging on his body, Witt didn't find them heavy, but there were too many, and it was very inconvenient to have them piled up on him.

We need to find a way to get a box like Newt's, otherwise he won't have anywhere to keep all the animals he draws in the future.

Hogwarts doesn't have a dedicated zoo for its students.

After completing the final purchase of the crucibles, Witt and Grandpa York bid farewell to the Finigan couple and their new friend Simo, and boarded the car for their return journey.

Completed purchasing school supplies (1/7)

On the game interface, a purple achievement bar was lit up.

A good game will definitely have some simple achievements in the early stages to help players obtain initial resources, such as purchasing school supplies.

Purple treasure chests have a 1 in 10 chance of containing a quest card and a 50% chance of containing a complete magic item.

Witt excitedly opened the treasure chest, rubbing his little hands together.

As the treasure chest shook, a soft blue light unfolded.

Witt (▼ヘ▼#)

Damn it, my unlucky damn hand.

I should have waited until I got back, burned incense, and paid my respects before opening it.

There's a 60% chance of not getting anything; this luck is hopeless.

Victor, in despair, clicked the confirmation button.

As the card was turned over, a small pile of powder emitting a mysterious light appeared before Witt's eyes.

The first three words almost blinded him.

Magic stone... powder.

Items used to upgrade characters in the game.

It seems alright.

Witt's mood improved considerably as he looked at the powdered Philosopher's Stone in front of him.

The Philosopher's Stone, the highest achievement in the field of alchemy.

Even as powder, it is quite valuable.

It can definitely be sold for a high price.

However, Witt had no intention of selling it; upgrading the Serpent Demon was clearly more important than those Galleons.

Before upgrading, he had to warn the Serpent Demon one more time.

Is the Philosopher's Stone something they can touch at this stage?

Even if they could instantly reach the maximum level, how much combat power could they actually unleash?

In games, you need to use skills to fight monsters, but in real life, do you not need to practice magic?

Having the same magical properties as Dumbledore doesn't mean they can beat him; even in a two-on-one fight, their chances of winning are not high.

Witt didn't want to be sent to Azkaban before even starting school, and he certainly didn't want to be targeted by both Dumbledore and Voldemort at the same time.

Either way, it's a matter of life and death.

"Do you know you were wrong?"

After dinner, Victor lay in his room, rambling on and on about the essentials of the magical world to the Serpent Demon.

For example, Harry's Parseltongue, Dumbledore, and Quirrell and Voldemort.

The Serpent Demon nodded repeatedly.

"Master, I know I was wrong."

?

Witt stared intently at the Serpent Demon for a long time, and seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

This is the first time this guy has admitted his mistake since he summoned the Serpent Demon.

"You really know you were wrong?"

The Snake Demon nodded. Although he thought highly of himself, he wasn't stupid.

Back in Gringotts, he was simply blinded by the sudden appearance of the Philosopher's Stone, which led him to recklessly attempt to steal it.

After being stopped by Victor, the Serpent Demon regained his senses and became increasingly frightened and regretful.

The magic stone can only accelerate his growth, but it can't give him an extra life.

On the contrary, stealing the magic stone is more likely to lead to his demise.

The Serpent Demon has a body; he is alive, unlike Voldemort who is in a ghostly state. He can grow to his maximum potential simply by following the proper steps, so he doesn't need to be so impatient.

"It's good that you know you were wrong."

Seeing that the Serpent Demon was sincere and eager to admit his mistake, Victor took out the magic stone powder he had just drawn that afternoon from his pocket.

"Eat up, this is your reward."

"Master, this is..." The Serpent Demon's eyes widened in surprise.

"Eat up. As long as you behave, you'll have plenty of this in the future."

The probability of obtaining the magic stone powder used for upgrading is quite high; even from blue treasure chests, there is a 30% chance of obtaining it.
