...

Ten and five minutes later,

As soon as Jerry pushed Hermione's oversized suitcase to the corner of the box, the entire Hogwarts Express started to move slowly.

Since some wizards, especially senior wizards, have chosen to stay in school to prepare for exams, the number of young wizards on the Hogwarts Express is far less than when school started.

Jerry and Hermione were the only two people in this box.

After putting down their suitcases, the two of them almost simultaneously took out a magic book from their carry-on bags.

Then, they sat together and talked while reading.

As the train progressed, the mountains and forests outside the window began to slowly turn into fields covered with snow and Muggle villages.

When it was almost noon, the train finally arrived at King's Cross Station in London.

After passing platform nine and three-quarters, passing through the passage opened with space magic, the young wizards, who changed back into Muggle clothes, disappeared into the crowd under the leadership of their parents.

At the entrance of the King's Cross platform, Mr. and Mrs. Granger had already arrived in their car early and were waiting because they had received the notification letter sent by Hermione using the school owl in advance.

"Jerry, remember to call me!"

The car started, and Hermione stuck her head out of the car window and waved and shouted to Jerry who was standing there.

"Yes, I will!"

Watching the car disappear on the street, Jerry took out a bottle from his pocket and put some of Hermione's hair that he had just secretly obtained on the train into it.

"When I make Polyjuice Potion, no one will doubt me anymore!"

...

Pulling his suitcase, which didn't contain much, Jerry walked straight to the subway entrance.

He will definitely not go back to the orphanage. Why go back? Now that there is trace surveillance, there is nothing he can do when he returns to the orphanage. It is a waste of time.

Now that he has been in the small world for more than three months and frequently uses the "boost and awakening" function, he doesn't have many little red stars left.

Therefore, this time he planned to spend the two weeks of Christmas vacation in Diagon Alley.

First, he needs to make purchases in Diagon Alley. Although there are many books in the Hogwarts library, because they are all aimed at young wizards, many magic books that are dangerous or for adult wizards are basically placed in the restricted book area.

.

But those bookstores in Diagon Alley don't have these restrictions. As long as you have gold galleons, they can't restrict you from buying books.

Secondly, now that there are traces on his body and he has no ability to remove them, Diagon Alley is the only place where he can freely use magic during the holidays.

Jerry also inquired about things like trace silk before going on vacation.

According to some Slater seniors in the senior class, the Ministry of Magic cannot accurately detect whether you are using magic, it can only detect whether there is magic near your location.

If you are in a place filled with wizards, even if magic is used, the Ministry of Magic cannot make a judgment.

Just like they can actually use magic at home, because their parents are both wizards. As long as the parents don't tell them, the Ministry of Magic will think that the magic is used by the little wizard's parents.

Therefore, the trace silk is far more restrictive for young wizards born in Muggle families than for young wizards born in wizarding families.

Because there are basically no wizards living nearby for young wizards from Muggle families. As long as they cast magic, they will be immediately monitored by the Ministry of Magic.

This is why, after Dobby performed magic at Uncle Harry's house, the Ministry of Magic considered Harry to have violated the rules.

Harry was the only wizard in the entire community, so the Ministry of Magic naturally concluded that Harry had cast the magic.

...

Taking the subway to Charing Cross Street, Jerry quickly found the Leaky Cauldron where Professor McGonagall had taken him before.

After paying fourteen gold galleons, he was led by his boss Tom to an old room with a unique style on the second floor.

Next, he will spend two weeks in this room.

After putting away his luggage, Jerry did not go to Diagon Alley immediately. Instead, he went downstairs and ordered a sumptuous lunch.

After lunch, he started to stroll around Diagon Alley.

Last time Professor McGonagall was there, he actually didn't visit many places. This time he would definitely paint all the shops except Knockturn Alley.

Since Knockturn Alley is relatively dangerous, he doesn't plan to take risks for the time being.

"Lacewings, leeches, sapweed, amphora, powdered bicorn horns, and fragments of African tree snake skin..."

Jerry recalled the polyjuice recipe he had memorized in "Power Potion" in his mind, and first walked to the herbal shop in Diagon Alley.

It takes almost a month to brew the polyjuice potion. In order to prevent accidents, Jerry plans to make a few more.

Polyjuice Potion is a very complex and uncommon potion that uses many types of herbs and is not cheap, so few people know about it and few people use it.

Even though Jerry had Professor Quirrell's medicinal field in his box and saved a lot of herbs, when he bought all the remaining materials, he spent more than two hundred gold galleons.

Jerry made a preliminary estimate that buying all the ingredients for a polyjuice potion would cost at least one hundred gold galleons.

It is almost equivalent to one month's salary of an ordinary official in the Ministry of Magic.

Unless there are special circumstances, no wizard would use a month's salary to buy these expensive medicinal materials to refine a potion that can only last for a few hours.

Therefore, in the wizarding world, polyjuice potion is also a relatively rare magic potion.

After buying the potion, he went straight to the largest bookstore in Diagon Alley - Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

"Sir, what book do you need to buy?"

Seeing Jerry enter the door, a clerk immediately ran up enthusiastically.

Jerry didn't waste any time and directly took out a bag of gold Galleons that he had prepared long ago and placed it on the table:

"I need "Standard Spell, Level 2", "Standard Spell, Level 3", "Standard Spell, Level 4", "Standard Spell, Level 5", "Standard Spell, Level 6", "Standard Spell, Level 7"

, "Intermediate Transfiguration Guide", "Advanced Transfiguration Guide"..."

In one breath, Jerry read through all the textbooks he knew about magic, spells, and potions from grades one to seven.

Now that you have money, why do you need to follow the steps step by step? Why not just buy them all at once and go back and study them slowly.

Although the effect of self-study is definitely not as good as that of taking classes, at any rate, he now has some foundation, and with the "refreshing and refreshing" function, it can still have some effect.

Just like some high-level magic spells, even if they are not as powerful as expected, as long as they are used successfully, sometimes they can save lives.

And not only the textbooks, but also some other books that were not available in the library, he planned to buy them back and put them in Hexian's villa, and read them slowly when he returned to the main world.

The so-called knowledge is power, especially in the wizarding world.

These magic books are the real treasures, but it's a pity that his gold Galleons are probably not enough.
