Chapter 198: Filling the Alley
As time goes by, Locke has learned more and more about the magic world in this world. He is no longer limited to the content of the movies he has watched, and is almost the same as many wizards who grew up in the magic world.
Just like the carriage Locke and Hermione are now riding, there are no horses pulling the cart, but in fact they are a magical animal called Ye Ji pulling the cart.
This magical animal is very special and cannot be seen in general. It cannot be seen unless it produces huge emotions or emotions.
Hogwarts College used them to transport students to start school and holidays. On the way, Locke popularized the knowledge of Ye Ji to Hermione. Although it was invisible to the naked eye, Ye Ji could clearly perceive Ye Ji through mental power.
After listening to Locke's prompt, Hermione tried to sense it, and then happily said that she could sense Ye Ji's existence.
About fifteen minutes later, the Yeji carriage arrived at the train station. The students got off the carriage and boarded the train back to London.
When the train arrived at the station in the evening, Locke helped Hermione carry her suitcase and leave the magic world through the nine and three-quarters platform.
"Hermione, Mr. Locke!" The Grangers had been waiting here for a long time, and waved happily after seeing the two.
"Dad!" Hermione ran over with a smile and threw herself into her father's arms. Mr. Granger laughed with relief. He missed his daughter very much, so he lifted Hermione up and turned around in a circle.
"Madam." Locke smiled and greeted Mrs. Granger.
"Mr. Locke, thank you for taking care of Hermione at school." Mrs. Granger said very politely.
"I just gave Hermione some advice in learning, and nothing else was done," Locke said with a smile.
"You are too modest." Mrs. Granger said: "The letter Hermione has given us before has told us a lot of things..."
"Mom!" At this time, Hermione, who was put down by her father, rushed over and hugged Mrs. Granger: "I miss you so much."
"We miss you very much, too." Mrs. Granger smiled and stroked Hermione's head.
"Let's not stand here anymore. Dinner is ready, and Mr. Rock will come together." Mr. Granger patted Rock on the shoulder and said.
"Yes, I made Hermione's favorite food," Mrs. Granger said with a smile.
The group left the station, and along the way, Hermione was excited to tell her parents about the school things, constantly saying that the details could not be explained in detail in various letters. The Grangers seemed to be very interested, and they were also very curious and yearning for the magic world.
Locke said goodbye after dinner at Hermione's house. During dinner, Hermione was very excited about the upcoming Christmas holiday. Before Locke left:
"Godfather, are you spending Christmas alone? Why don't you come to our house to celebrate Christmas? The Christmas dinner made by mom is the best..."
Smiling slightly, Locke listened to the little loli chattering. Compared to Peggy, who was about the same age, Hermione was obviously more childish. At this time, she was as lively as an elf.
In the end, Locke did not refuse her invitation. A few days later, she spent Christmas with the Granger family and helped to carefully decorate the Granger family. The Christmas tree and various decorations were arranged, which seemed to be a fairy tale house.
After Christmas, Rock went to visit some shops in Diagon Alley. After this period of operation, Rock Rock's Potion Store has become some famous here.
The entire circle of the wizarding world in the UK is not big. Because of the system's identity, many people have an impression of him. However, they didn't expect that Locke, a newly graduated wizard, did not seem to be from a pure blood family, could run the pharmacy so quickly in the magic world.
Recently, Locke is planning to buy a plantation that grows various potion materials. Speaking of which, he has also planned to invest in Hogwarts, and Hogwarts' funding has been tight.
It’s a pity that donations are OK, so it’s not that easy to become a school manager. Gallon simply is not qualified to become a school manager of Hogwarts. Hogwarts’s good management is also indispensable for those school managers behind them in the magic world.
For example, the reason why Lucius Malfoy was able to become a colonel is that in addition to paying money, they also have considerable influence in the magic world. If Locke wants to become a school director, he also needs fame and connections in the magic world, which are what he does not have at this stage.
After all, I didn’t have much time to come to this world, and most of Locke’s energy was focused on systematically studying the world, collecting various magic books and magic materials.
It’s like this time, the potion material plantation purchased by Locke at a premium. After the acquisition is completed, Locke will find a way to collect various seeds and put them in the dimension space. After the dimension space is expanded in the future, he can farm in his own dimension space.
In order to ensure that the seeds can germinate smoothly, you must even understand the relevant planting knowledge. It is not so easy to master the magic system developed over thousands of years as comprehensive as possible, but it is not just a large number of various magic spells.
It’s easy to say that plantations of ordinary potion materials are not that easy to buy places to raise magical animals. It’s like the dragon trainer that Locke is most interested in. Without the permission of the Ministry of Magic, Locke has no qualifications to buy them at all.
Overall, if you want to "empty" the magic world as you wish, you still need to do a lot of preparation.
After leaving Diagon Alley, Rock came to the Overturn Alley. Although the two places were separated by a wall, the environment and the atmosphere they felt were completely different.
After entering the overturned alley, Locke was able to keenly detect that many scrutiny and malicious eyes were placed on him.
Many of the wizards in the overturned alley covered their appearance, and Locke also followed the customs and used magic to cover up his appearance, and even wore a large cloak outside.
The eyes of several wizards I had seen along the way were very familiar, and Locke did not call each other and went straight to the Bojin Boke store.
There was insufficient light in the house and there was some darkness. Locke looked at the various items on the shelves, as if he was choosing something.
"Is this guest coming for the first time?" Bojin Bok, with a cunning light in his eyes, appeared at the counter at this time, and his fingers tapped on the table with a rhythmic smile, saying with an extremely commercial smile:
“At Bojin Bock Store, you can switch to any service you want, as long as you can afford Gallon.”
"Galon is not a problem for me. I will have as much as I can get on this list." Locke took out a list of all kinds of magical objects, even magical animals, that he wanted to buy but could not obtain through normal channels.
"Sir, what you have on this list..." After reading the list, Bojin Bock looked at Lock carefully. Even if the magic concealed his appearance, he seemed to try his best to identify Lock.
"Sure enough, slogans are just slogans." Locke curled his lips. Some of the things on his list were indeed not that easy to find, such as magical animals such as unicorns, phoenixes, dragons, etc.
It is really not easy to get this kind of thing. Fortunately, the other items on the list can be obtained, but it only takes a certain amount of time and enough rewards.
For example, the living dragon cannot be obtained, but the dragon's flesh and blood are still fine. However, the flesh and blood of the Phoenix and Unicorns can only find a way at Hogwarts.
For Locke, even if he can't get a dragon, it's good to get some flesh and blood, and it's also useful.
Especially in the fairy tale world, Locke also obtained an alchemy from the old witch, which can be used to transform the bloodline of creatures. If he has the flesh and blood of a dragon, he can try to do some special experiments.
