Chapter 307 The gap in space
(first update)
"Let's go, next stop, Leaky Cauldron!"
The driver Ern Plan shouted loudly and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The magic bus immediately went from static to dynamic, as if it didn't need to accelerate, it directly reached the top speed.
The sudden change from stillness to movement created a strong inertia inside the car. However, Jerry's physical strength was far beyond that of ordinary people. He just reached out and grabbed the bedpost next to him, and he easily stabilized his body.
This made Stan, who was sitting in the armchair in front of him, couldn't help but sigh. He was indeed the best seeker. This physical reaction speed was definitely not something that ordinary wizards could achieve.
"Is this space magic?"
After sitting firmly, Jerry began to observe the Knight Bus, and soon he noticed something unusual about the car.
The Knight Bus travels so fast that people with poor eyesight may not be able to see the scenery outside clearly, and there is no need to slow down at all.
Because all obstacles encountered by the Knight Bus, such as pedestrians, vehicles, street lights, mailboxes, and trash cans, will automatically jump out of the way, and will return to their original positions only after the car passes by.
And Jerry immediately realized that this was the Knight Bus that was driving, using extremely advanced space magic. It was not exactly driving on the road in reality, but driving in the cracks of space.
All objects blocking the Knight Bus will automatically jump away. It’s not that they really jumped away, but that the Knight Bus passed through the space crack, making it appear that they were squeezed to both sides. In reality, there is nothing.
Variety.
That's why people don't find the Knight Bus and why it's so fast.
Moreover, when riding the Knight Bus, you will feel dizzy as if you were using Apparition. It seems that wizards cannot apparate the entire Knight Bus.
By studying similar space principles, he created a profound space magic that allows the Knight Bus to shuttle through space cracks and move quickly.
However, this seems to be different from the movies he saw in his previous life.
Because the Knight Bus in the movie is driving on the road and needs to avoid pedestrians on the road. When someone blocks the road, it needs to stop and wait. If it wants to overtake, it will use space magic to shrink the body and pass through it. It will even be in this
Let the flow of time slow down during the process.
In fact, from the time Jerry got on the bus to the Leaky Cauldron, the Knight Bus did not show the characteristics of time, and the shuttle directly traveled through the space cracks without the need to dodge anything on the road.
Maybe this is some of the differences between the original novel and the adapted movie!
In less than two minutes, the Knight Bus completed the one-hour journey by ordinary car and stopped at the entrance of the Leaky Cauldron.
When Jerry got off the Knight Bus, he was a little disappointed because he didn't experience time magic, but he was still able to accept it.
After all, the way the Knight Bus moves quickly through space cracks also gave him a lot of inspiration.
For the first time, he discovered that space magic could actually be used in this way.
However, since this new space magic has not been used by wizards as a means of movement, it may have serious drawbacks.
Based on Jerry's current understanding of space magic, he felt that there was a high probability that this method of moving directly in the cracks in space would require a very hard body to do it.
Just like if a bad Apparition fails, it may be cut directly into the space, resulting in missing arms and legs. This kind of magic of moving through the cracks in space is probably not something that ordinary flesh and blood can withstand.
But, this is not a problem for Jerry.
Later, if he can master this space movement technique and apply it to alchemy, he can definitely use it on the twelve robot soldiers.
Or when his body becomes strong enough, he might be able to directly enter the space crack and move quickly.
Once you become proficient in it later, you can also use it in battle, which is a good choice.
Magic is like this, full of countless possibilities. As long as you use your imagination and learn enough magic knowledge, many things can be achieved.
Seeing the Knight Bus pass through the space gap again and disappear into reality, Jerry ended his thinking, turned around and opened the door and entered the familiar Leaky Cauldron Bar.
The Leaky Cauldron is still the same, but maybe because school is about to start and many young wizards have begun to go to Diagon Alley to do shopping, there are more customers than usual.
"Sirius Black!"
Jerry had just walked into the Leaky Cauldron, and before he could even go to the counter to book a room with Old Tom, he saw an eye-catching wanted poster posted on the pillar of the bar.
The wanted target is Sirius Black, who escaped from Azkaban Prison.
"Black is one of the most evil Death Eaters in Arcaban. We are doing our best to recapture Black and have also notified the Muggle Prime Minister to cooperate with our actions. So please keep calm in the wizarding world for the time being.
If you see Sirius Black, please notify the Ministry of Magic immediately. After we arrest him, we will give you a reward of 10,000 gold galleons!"
In the center of the wanted poster is a man with a haggard face and long, messy hair. He is roaring angrily, and he does look a bit like a fugitive murderer.
Underneath the moving photo is a description from the Ministry of Magic.
"The Ministry of Magic is really rich!"
Looking at the bounty from the Ministry of Magic on the wanted poster, Jerry had a good idea in his mind.
Sirius is Harry's godfather, Harry's father's best friend, and a member of the Order of the Phoenix. He was framed as a Death Eater by Peter Pettigrew and imprisoned.
The reason why I escaped from prison now is because I saw in the newspaper that in the family photo of the Arthur family that won the prize, Pettigrew used Animagus to transform into the mouse Scabbers.
Jerry would definitely help Sirius who was framed, but he didn't intend to waste the 10,000 gold galleons bounty.
Although there are many precious herbs in his box space, he also took time to practice making potions during this period and made many advanced potions.
However, those herbs and potions that are intended for personal use and sold for sale can easily impact the market and drive down the prices of herbal medicines and potions.
You know, the number of wizards determines that their market is not very large.
Moreover, for him, the 10,000 gold galleons from the Ministry of Magic are basically the same as those he picked up, so he doesn't want them for nothing.
The most important thing is that if the operation is done well, not only can he get the 10,000 gold galleons for nothing, but he can also make his reputation once again known in the wizarding world.
It's simply killing two birds with one stone.
"Jerry!"
Just as Jerry passed Sirius's wanted notice and arrived at the counter to book a room, a voice full of surprise suddenly came from the stairs.
"Long time no see, Harry!"
Chapter completed!
