Hogwarts: Hermione and I switched identities!

Good morning, Hermione.

"Good morning."

While sitting at the table for dinner, Ms. Molly asked Ginny if she would like to go to Diagon Alley with Hermione.

Without a doubt, Ginny readily agreed to Ms. Molly's request.

She wouldn't refuse to go out and have fun with Hermione.

Moreover, Ginny had a certain expectation for Diagon Alley—it was the place where she first met Hermione.

It was in the bookstore in Diagon Alley that Ginny first witnessed Hermione's power.

"Let's go out after we finish eating. Ginny, be careful not to spend too much money."

Ginny pouted and didn't say anything more.

After leaving the Weasleys' house, the two were in the car, and Ginny held her face in her hands, gazing at the scenery outside.

"Still bothered by what Ms. Molly said? It's okay, you can use my money as you please."

Anyway, it's Hermione's...

Of course, Tom couldn't possibly say these things.

“Hermione, you’re acting a little strange today,” Ginny suddenly said, looking at Tom. “At this time usually, you would already be chatting away in the car with Tom, telling him about what happened the first time you two got in the car together…”

Tom: "?"

Why does Hermione talk about these things with Ginny all the time?

“There’s nothing to say, Ginny,” Tom began his long speech. “You know, everyone will meet a few precious friends in their life.”

This is not a big deal. In the future, he may have already quietly appeared in your life, but you just haven't met him yet.

In short... I hope you have a happy life when you go to Hogwarts.

Upon hearing Tom's inspirational quote, Ginny blushed deeply. She covered her face and slowly uttered a few words.

Thank you, I will try my best.

“No, there’s no need to try,” Tom corrected. “You’ll notice when he appears; you don’t need to look for him specifically. Do you understand what I mean?”

"Hermione, you're making it sound like you're talking about Prince Charming."

“Pretty much, essentially the same.” Tom didn’t refute.

Before long, the train arrived at the station, and the two of them were in Diagon Alley.

Diagon Alley remains as lively as ever.

Especially now, during the Christmas holidays, people are coming and going, and the wizards in Diagon Alley are shoulder to shoulder.

Tom shielded Ginny by his side, preventing the other wizards from getting close to her.

The two were very close, and Ginny could clearly smell Tom's fragrance—or more accurately, Hermione's natural scent.

For some reason, Ginny felt a sense of enjoyment and unconsciously moved closer to Tom, wishing time could stand still at this moment...

Is there anything you want?

“I want to buy a few books!” Ginny said.

Books, especially wizarding books, are not cheap; on the contrary, they are very expensive!

But Tom is rich.

Tom could buy ten or even a hundred books for Ginny, let alone one.

That just so happens, he also wanted to see if there were any books about ancient scripts.

Tom still has little clue about the ancient text in the Momo Mountains.

Although Tom will eventually learn it thanks to his familiarity with the system, that would take too long.

Unlike other magic, Tom felt that he couldn't complete this without ten days or half a month of hard work.

Flourish Blotts.

Tom started looking for books.

Not just text-based, but also historical...

Ideally, books about the Momo Mountains would be best!

Tom's gaze swept across the bookshelf, searching line by line for anything relevant.

"Hermione, you seem to be looking for something? Do you need my help?"

"No need, honey, just go and choose the book you like. Hmm... do you remember Tom I told you about? He's very rich, after all, he's a Potions Master, and I can use his wealth."

"This isn't a good idea!"

“It’s nothing,” Tom chuckled. “Tom and I are good friends. He told me I could use the money as I pleased, and besides… you seem to look down on Potions Masters. In their eyes, Galon is just a number.”

Ginny opened her mouth and nodded excitedly.

She became increasingly interested in the "Tom" that Hermione kept talking about.

Rich, handsome, talented, a complete genius!

He really wanted to see someone like that!

Seeing that Ginny had gone to find the books on her own, Tom felt relieved and began to study them himself.

Ancient writing, ancient writing...

A Study of Ancient Dragon Script.

Tom picked up the book and quickly flipped through it a couple of times.

There was no result.

The dragon script at least looks like characters, but the things below it are just scribbles and have nothing to do with characters at all!

No, that's not needed.

Tom spent half an hour searching but still couldn't find what he needed.

Just as Tom was about to give up, a book jumped into his eyes.

The Alps - The Legendary Wizarding Mountains.

This is it, yes, this is it!

Tom reached out to take the book.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, it touched another hand.

What are some classic Japanese storylines?

Tom rolled up his sleeves, eager to see who was trying to take the book from him.

Turning my head, I saw...

Oh, it's Ginny.

Ginny blushed instantly under their gaze: "I'm...I'm sorry..."

“Well, there’s no need to apologize. Do you like this book?” Tom stepped aside.

"No, I just saw that you just picked out a lot of books about mountains and words, so I felt you would need this book."

"I've read this book..." Ginny lowered her voice and said softly, "It not only contains the past of the Alps, but also a piece of inexplicable text."

However, because no one has been able to decipher it for so many years, this book has always been a joke among other wizards.

Tom: "?"

I actually found it?!

Chapter 100: The Potions Master! (4k)

"Have you chosen what you need?" Tom picked up the book and looked at Ginny, the "minister" beside him.

“I’ve made my choice.” Ginny waved a storybook in her hand and looked at Hermione with a smile. “Thank you, Hermione.”

Tom waved his hand, indicating that there was nothing to thank him for these small things.

As I said before—it's Hermione's Galon anyway!

But Hermione is really rich.

Tom found more than eighty Galleons on her body.

This is no small sum.

At an exchange rate of 1 Gallo to 5 Pound Sterling, this is equivalent to a child carrying more than 400 Pound Sterlings.

Even if Hermione weren't a wizard, she would still be a super-rich person!

"But Hermione, why does Tom have so many Galleons?"

"Hmph, didn't I tell you? Don't underestimate a Potions Master. We're out having fun today, so I'll show you just how generous a Potions Master can be."

It's easy to broaden a wizard's horizons, especially for a child like Ginny.

Tom only needs to take her to a potions shop.

……

The Magic Potions Shop.

"This is a cough potion. It's nothing to Tom. He can even make this potion while taking a bath, and the quality will be much better than what's here."

Ginny nodded, her heart skipping a beat when she saw the price above.

Wow, that's so expensive...

How could a small bottle of something sell for 15 Galleons?

And Hermione just said that Tom can make a better cough medicine, which means... 15 Galleons are not enough?

That's how many, 20 Galleons?

The book I have only cost 12 Galleons in total.
