The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Chapter 71 Charing Cross Road

That bad twelfth birthday is finally over.

For the next period of time, around No. 86 Eastleigh Road, the weather was calm and everything was safe.

The boring and boring summer vacation passed day by day... As before, most of Jon's time was spent on the configuration of potions and the exploration of memory spells.

It wasn't until one day in late July that Jon went to Mr. Robert Wilson's hardware store; then he got a batch of silver bullets that Mr. Wilson had helped him get by before.

There are only thirty silver bullets in total, but there will only be one "moderate" werewolf in the school, which is enough.

Taking this opportunity, Jon secretly collected some hair "specimens".

He deliberately selected the hair of some foreign tourists, so that while expanding his "deformation database", he could effectively avoid a collision with the real body.

Both the warrior potion and the enhancement potion have been configured, and the configuration process of the compound decoction has also entered the final step.

After adding dried African tree snake skin to the cauldron, looking at the pot of potion full of pungent black smoke, Jon knew that he had succeeded... and the effect of the potion this time was definitely better than before. on a lot.

Carefully put the prepared potions into glass bottles, and Jon divided the glass bottles into two parts and put them into suitcases.

The 100 Galleons of medicinal herbs had been consumed by him for more than a month, and now he is staying at No. 86 Eastleigh Road, and he has nothing to do.

Fortunately, on the last day of July, a letter came from Hogwarts.

An envelope of yellow parchment with green writing on it. The letter asked him to still take the Hogwarts Express train at King's Cross Station on September 1, and also listed a list of new books he would use this year.

Standard Spells, Level 2, by Miranda Goshak;

Fundamentals of Defence Against the Dark Arts, by Quentin Trimble;

A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms - Addendum, by Phyllida Spohr;

The Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration - Volume 2, by Emeric Swich.

The Origin of Quidditch, by Kenilworth-Whisp.

The second-year students need a lot less textbooks than the first-year... And the last book "Quidditch Origins", the handwriting is completely different from the previous one, obviously someone added it forcibly later.

After receiving a letter from the school, Jon decided not to stay at home any longer.

After explaining the situation to Eric and Judy and saying goodbye, Jon picked up his suitcase and got on the train to London.

...

Charing Cross Road is a very busy street in central London.

It is also a famous bookstore street in the world... The novel "84 Charing Cross Street" written by the American female writer Helen Hanff, known as the "Bible of Book Lovers", is the background here.

A dirty and cramped bar that stands out on this clean street.

Although people passing by in a hurry did not even look at it, their eyes only fell on the surrounding bookstores.

Less than a hundred yards from this dingy, cramped pub is the Hotel Willow Hill on Charing Cross Road. A strange man in a black cloak came out and walked towards the dirty and cramped bar.

The mysterious traveler, carrying a suitcase, did not stop at the "Broken Cauldron Bar", but avoided the travelers in the bar and walked straight into the back patio.

A few minutes later, the mysterious traveler enters Diagon Alley and ends up in a mysterious potions shop in Diagon Alley.

"Hello, sir!" As the mysterious traveler took off his hood, revealing soft blonde hair and a young face, the female owner of the potions shop hurried over and asked, "What do you need to buy? ?"

"I need to sell some potions here!" The blond young man said in a rough American accent while looking at the various and colorful bottles and jars on the shelf next to him.

"You're not British?" the female boss asked with some doubts.

"Yes, I'm from America!" The blond young man replied simply: "My name is Anduin Wrynn."

"Hello, Mr. Wrynn, I'm Julia Spall, the boss here!" The female boss said quickly, "What do you need to buy?"

"No..." The blonde Anduin shook his head. "I want to sell some potions here."

As he spoke, he took out a crystal bottle from his pocket, and frivolously threw it away.

Ms. Spohr hurriedly caught it, first sniffed it, then carefully observed it, and finally came to a conclusion: "These are... compound decoctions... seem to be of good quality?"

"Of course!" Anduin said confidently.

"The compound decoction is a controlled product..." Ms. Spohr hurriedly lowered her voice.

"That's the stupid law of your British Ministry of Magic... In North America, the distribution and sale of potions enjoy absolute freedom." The blond young man said with a look of disdain.

Ms. Spohr doesn't know much about American laws, but she's a little bit moved...

As a compound decoction of a managed product, there are only a handful of pharmacists in the British magic world who understand the formula and can successfully prepare it; coupled with its tedious preparation steps, there are very few products on the market.

"How much can you take out?" she asked softly.

"Five pints can still be taken out." Anduin-Wrynn said with a serious face.

"80 Galleons a pint, how about the price?" Ms. Spohr asked tentatively.

"It's reasonable!" The blond man didn't seem to be ready to entangle with the price.

He opened the suitcase, took out dozens of the same crystal bottles as before, and placed them on the counter one by one.

A small bag of gold coins was also handed over by Ms. Spohr.

...

Five minutes later, Anduin Wrynn reappeared on the streets of Diagon Alley with a bag full of gold coins.

When he saw many wizards crowded in front of the Quidditch boutique, he also curiously leaned in to watch the fun.

He saw a broom on a newly erected plinth.

There is another line below:

"Brooms like the Firebolt represent the highest level of craftsmanship at present, and their handles are made of ash wood, which is streamlined and exquisite, treated with a polish as hard as a diamond, and has a hand-engraved registration number.

Every broom twig at the end of this product is screened for perfect flow, so this product is unmatched in terms of balance and precision.

The Firebolt can accelerate to 150 miles per hour in ten seconds, and its brakes are fascinating.

The pre-sale price is 800 Galleons. "

"Eight hundred Galleons to buy a broken broom, probably not crazy?" The blond young man shook his head helplessly, and then walked away.

He first went to the Lihen Bookstore, and under the surprised eyes of the clerk, he bought a few textbooks needed by the lower-level wizards; then he went to a nearby shop to buy ink and parchment; finally, he went to the leather shop to buy A dragonskin wand case.

Stuffing everything into the half-empty suitcase, he went to a shop called "Magic Zoo".

There wasn't a lot of space inside, with cages hanging every inch of the wall; the store was smelly and noisy because the little creatures in the cages were making all kinds of noises.

There are many strange animals in the shop: such as cats of various colors, a cage of rowdy ravens, and a pair of purple toads with huge eyes... There is a large cage on the counter with silky black mice in it. wagging their long bald tails.

"I need to buy some mice!" the blond young man shouted.

The witch in the counter hurried over: "Welcome, dear... You can take a look here, they are Serbian gallons, very smart, they can help wizards find discarded things, 10 gallons each..."

As she spoke, the witch pointed enthusiastically to the large cage full of black mice, and they immediately began to jump again.

The blond young man muttered softly: "This is too pitiful, and SPF nude mice are not so expensive..."

"No no no... just give me some common house mice or garden mice..." he said quickly.

The warm expression on the witch's face quickly turned cold.

"No?" Anduin asked.

"Yes!" the witch said lightly, "4 nut each, how much do you want?"

"Twenty...no, thirty...give me kangaroo food."

Throwing five silver sickles to the witch, carrying two large cages of mice and a kangaroo food, the blond Anduin swaggered out of the store.

...

Back at the Willow Hill Hotel on Charing Cross Road, it was almost time for transformation.

Just a few minutes after entering the hotel room, the blond young man's body began to deform rapidly, returning to Jon Hart's appearance.

In my previous life, I started from the third grade of elementary school, and I learned American English for more than ten years.

It seems to be quite effective?

Jon sat on the bed, and he had decided to spend the rest of the summer at this hotel.

Because here, he can use magic at will.

According to the Ministry of Magic's "Minor Wizards Protection Act", underage wizards are prohibited from casting spells outside the school... But there is a loophole in this law, then the Ministry of Magic can only monitor that someone in a certain area is using magic, but it is not sure where it is. one person.

The use of magic by underage wizards at home can only be supervised by parents; the same is true of using magic in public places where wizards are infested.

Therefore, Charing Cross Road, an ordinary street adjacent to Diagon Alley, where there are wizards passing by at any time, as a minor wizard using magic here, will not be discovered.

And compared to the Leaky Cauldron Bar, which is crowded and crowded, the bar where I am now is obviously much safer.

After all, there will be no wizards around at any time, you don't need to take compound decoction every moment, even if there is a small problem with magic, it will not be discovered by other wizards in the first time... Even if you want to go to Diagon Alley, it is nothing more than A few more steps.

Jon packed everything he brought and was ready to start enjoying the rest of his summer vacation.
