Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 7 Pet x Wand x Magic Book

In Roger's memory, which had become faintly yellowed by the passage of time, Harry Potter, the 'savior of the British wizarding world' who 'defeated' the mysterious man, was also treated like this when he entered the Leaky Cauldron.

However, there is still a big difference between myself and Harry Potter.

After a brief silence, Harry Potter was suddenly in an uproar. Crowds gathered to see this savior, and they wanted to shake hands with him and take photos with him as a souvenir forever.

For a moment, people welcomed it wholeheartedly, and the scene of vibrant life and flourishing development is still before our eyes.

On my side, after a brief silence, there was complete deathly silence.

The less well-informed wizards were like mice seeing a cat when they saw Ms. McGonagall, the head of Gryffindor.

The British wizarding world is too small, and almost all wizards come from Hogwarts. Facing Professor McGonagall, these bad boys who did not work properly in school and hung out in pubs in broad daylight on weekdays after graduation subconsciously lowered their heads.

Those who were well-informed and had many connections with the upper echelons of wizarding society saw Roger as if they had seen another mysterious person.

The body is hard.

My whole body froze, and I subconsciously didn't dare to move.

As the trial came to an end, more of Roger's information was no longer kept secret and became known to more people.

Roger killed more than ninety people personally, and the number of people who died indirectly because of him exceeded this number by more than an order of magnitude.

If an outsider who is familiar with this part of history observes Roger's behavior, he will find that the overall trend of this war has deviated a lot from the Gulf War in another world because of Roger's existence.

The released battlefield images made many young wizards who had always lived in the wizarding circle and had never seen how horrible modern Muggle warfare was, not want to eat meat for a long time.

Faced with the awkward silence, neither Professor McGonagall nor Roger cared.

The two men walked straight through the silent crowd and headed to the back of the Leaky Cauldron.

The wand tapped lightly against the bricks of the back alley wall.

The door to the magical world opened to Roger.

The streets were noisy and bustling, with people in all kinds of strange costumes weaving together in the streets, bargaining and arguing, and the brilliant light of magic appearing before Roger's eyes from time to time.

This is the commercial center of the British wizarding world, but compared to those high-end commercial areas, it is more like a big market.

But Roger's first impression of this place was...

"Cognitive distortion, what a terrible magic."

Diagon Alley is located in London, the capital of the United Kingdom. With so many residents in London, no one noticed that a large piece of the map of London was 'missing'.

This kind of thing is really terrifying when you think about it.

If you know this spell during a war, you don't have to lead your troops to fight guerrilla warfare everywhere. You can just find a place to hide.

The survival difficulty instantly changes from hell mode to easy mode.

Roger has gradually understood why those wizards in his previous life looked down on Muggles.

Anyone will lose respect for a group of people whose minds they can manipulate at will.

Even if the other party has the power to hurt or even kill you.

Of course, Roger would not think so. Having truly experienced the horror of death and war, he would never despise any existence.

Entering Diagon Alley, the two walked forward.

Their first stop was the wizarding world's bank, Gringotts.

Hogwarts is a seven-year boarding school and a school of magic.

Whether it is the school tuition, the various books and equipment needed for teaching, or even the school uniforms, they are all magical items.

You need to use wizard currency to buy it. US dollars, euros and pounds are not accepted here. Only wizard gold galleons and copper knuts are accepted.

But there are indeed little wizards like Roger who awakened from Muggle families and have nothing to do with wizards and have no money at all.

Therefore, Hogwarts will provide some conveniences, allowing students to exchange Muggle currency for wizard currency in a limited amount at Gringotts with proof of admission.

For young wizards who are so poor that they don't even have Muggle currency and have special circumstances, there will be special interest-free student loans. ... This part of the money comes from the Ministry of Magic's education grants.

Although Roger didn't have much money, it was not so bad that he needed to take out a student loan.

At Gringotts, under the guidance of the goblin, Roger exchanged pounds for some gold Galleons.

This amount of money is just enough for a student to buy all the necessary things and still have enough to live on.

"What are you looking for?" In Flourish and Blotts, Professor McGonagall asked in confusion as she saw Roger wandering around the room after buying his first-grade textbooks.

The shopping trip of the two went smoothly. The cauldron, school uniforms, flying broom, magical pets, and magic wands had all been purchased. Now, it was the last stop.

As his pet, Roger did not choose a cat, dog, toad, crow or the like, but a more common owl.

Firstly, owls can help Roger maintain external contact in Hogwarts where communication with the outside world is not very convenient.

Secondly, other pets still need to be taken care of by themselves, but for the owl, Roger can let it live in the owl shed in the west tower of Hogwarts and entrust it to the care of the school.

Over the years, this can save you a lot of time.

As for wands, Roger, like Harry Potter, went to Ollivander's Wand Shop, which has been making wands since 382 BC, around the Zhou Dynasty in China, and is still one of the three largest wand manufacturers in Europe.

Wand master Ollivander went back and forth to help Roger try out many wands.

There are applewood for kind-hearted idealists and longevity, poplar wood often used by wizards who are good at fighting, maple wood for adventurers, spade wood for those with keen intuition and honesty, hazel wood for those who are good at controlling their emotions, and elderberry wand, which symbolizes extraordinary and powerful but also has a legend of doom and has not been sold for many years.

The above six wands are all compatible with Roger and he can use them all, but Ollivander always feels that they are not compatible enough.

The degree of compatibility between the wand and its user can have a huge impact on spellcasting; a wand is not something you can use as soon as you get it.

It was not until he took out the seventh that Roger felt a completely different feeling of extreme comfort when he held the wand in his hand.

Ten inches, fir wood, with a core of unicorn tail hair for stable casting.

Fir wood is not particularly rare, and there are still some people who own this kind of wand, but most of them are masters with great reputation in various fields.

It is more suitable for wizards who are lucky enough, have great patience and strong will, and whose thoughts and goals are extremely clear after enlightenment.

Ollivander rarely saw young wizards who had not yet entered school having a compatibility with fir trees, let alone a compatibility to such an extent.

However, Ollivander did not take this matter too seriously. As one of the three major wand makers in Europe, his family had been making wands since ancient Greece more than two thousand years ago. He knew and even witnessed too many strange things.

I'm used to it.

After getting the magic wand, Roger came to Flourish and Blotts, a bookstore that sold magic books, but when Roger briefly flipped through the textbooks he had obtained, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Then, he turned his eyes to the rows of bookshelves.

"I want to buy some more magic books." Roger answered Professor McGonagall's question with a curious look in his eyes.

Hearing Roger say this, Professor McGonagall stopped him and said, "Roger, I know you like magic very much, but it is very dangerous to rashly touch magic beyond your control."

"As first-year textbooks, we think books like Standard Spells, Elementary and Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration are the most suitable. They are easy to get started with and will not cause serious consequences if you fail to cast a spell. They are very suitable for you and you don't need to look for another one."

Glancing back at the serious Professor McGonagall, Roger knew she had misunderstood again.

This is not surprising. As a professor at Hogwarts, she always deals with all kinds of destructive children, so she subconsciously thought in that direction.

"No, I'm not looking for more powerful magic."

"I'm looking for something more basic."

Roger said seriously, "For example, a book that gives a comprehensive and detailed introduction to what magic is and how it developed from ancient spells to today's modern spell system."
