Chapter 3

As soon as they arrived at old Tom's shop, Mr. Harris said to Tom enthusiastically: " Please bring me a jug of fish-flavored green beer, and each of the children will be having a glass of pumpkin juice."

"Okay, but you will have to wait."

Old Tom bent down and bowed to thank the guests for coming.

"Really dedicated." Aaron always had a good impression of old Tom.

"Owen, Owen Harris…" An enthusiastic call came from the window of the store.

"Arthur, I'm so glad to see you!" Mr. Harris covered the disdain he has for the Weasley Family when he was at home, and embraced Arthur Weasley enthusiastically.

"It's rare to be able to come together outside work, why don't we have a drink together."

Mr. Harris felt that he had found an opportunity, and Arthur would definitely be willing to accept the silvios case.

"Okay." Looking at Molly, Arthur's wife had begun talking to Mrs. Harris, Arthur Weasley agreed without the slightest hesitation.

"Ron can play with your son but be careful not to get lost."

As he spoke a boy with red hair and some freckles beside his nose, who was previously hiding behind Arthur's legs walked out and came into Aaron's vision while looked at Aaron nervously.

"This is a rare opportunity to travel freely." Thought Aaron as he looked at Ron.

Ron is a very talkative person, and he was very happy to meet such a cooperative person.

Due to being a teacher in his last life, Aaron was very good at listening. Even more as Aaron was able to learn a lot of interesting information during the conversation. After listening to Ron talking about his family, Aaron couldn't help but think, "speaking of which, the source of the surname Weasley is a Weasel, this animal has a bad reputation in many countries, including Britain. The fur of this animal red. Ron's father is named Arthur. His Patronus is also a weasel. Arthur's name is the same as King Arthur. In history, one of the main opponents of King Arthur was a Roman politician named Lucius Tiberius. One of Arthur's sons, Percy's name is short for Percival, the name of one of the round table Knights, and Arthur's daughter Ginny's full names should be Ginevra Molly Weasley, and Ginevra is a variant of King Arthur's wife's name Guinevere."

Aaron shook his head to stop his random thought processes. With calm encouragement, Aaron matched the memories that didn't belong to him bit by bit, and began to merge the common sense about magic circle left by his predecessor.

"Aaron, look, it's so lively over there!" Ron, who was talking about Quidditch Chudley Cannons, suddenly changed the subject.

Aaron followed Ron's eyes and saw a group of people crowded around Quality Quidditch Supplies, cheering and applauding in unison.

Ron immediately entered Quality Quidditch Supplies, while dragging Aaron into the crowd too.

"The child from Malfoy's seems to be intelligent. He was able to receive 5 points and will be able to exchange them for the Lawrence poster."

A voice of envy and hatred rang in my ears, and there were many such voices.

"Who is Lawrence?" Aaron asked Ron.

"He is the Seeker of the Irish team, who was able to pull strongly against the crazy tide in the most recent Quidditch match,helping the Irish team win!"

Ron did not hide his fanatical worship of Lawrence as he looked at the poster with greed.

"Ha, Aaron, how about you participate too? You can definitely beat the child from the Malfoy family. As long as you answer 10 questions correctly, we will be able to get 2 posters!" Ron looked towards Aaron expectantly.

"Red-head, if you want to beat me, why don't you participate instead of your lackey!"

Malfoy said as he looked at Ron and Aaron while expressing disdain.

Malfoy's platinum blonde hair was shining under the sun, but his cute face was ruined by him raising is eyebrows as if he was forcing himself to act cold and aloof.

"We will definitely beat you! Aaron, let's answer the questions." Ron said as he moved past Malfoy with a clenched fist.

Malfoy squinted at Aaron and begun to realize that Aaron too had platinum blonde hair like him, and carried himself like a pure-blooded wizard should.

If not for the fact that he was friends with someone from the Weasley Family, he would be more suitable than Goyle and Crabbe to be a follower, Draco thought as he said, "My name is Draco and I come from the Malfoy Family. Your name is Aaron?Are from the Harris family? If you can get 3 correct, I allow you to follow me as a friend."

"What a tsundere boy!" Aaron thought, as a teacher who has been teaching for 7 years, Aaron was able to read children too well.

The boy in front of him, in his memory was disgusting and arrogant that made him and Harry Potter enemies even before school started. His original purpose might have been to become friends with Harry Potter that's all. .

But when it comes to answering the questions, Aaron had no confidence. After all, he had only read the original work, and he still didn't have much knowledge about the World.

But Ron had already pulled Aaron into the line, and by the time Aaron came back to his senses, he had begun carefully observing the answers of the players in front.

At present, no one has answered more than 5 questions correctly.

Ron was already dumbfounded: "Aaron, it's embarrassing, I have don't have the confidence to answer them anymore."

On the contrary, Aaron's heart was filled with relief.

These questions were just brain teasers and logical questions. It seems like wizards having minimal knowledge about logical reasoning questions made them unable to answer them. As a math teacher, he felt that these logic problems were quite simple.

"Don't be afraid, I am here." Aaron said to Ron confidence with to comfort him.

Soon the team lined up with Aaron and Ron.

The clerk waved the wand, and the first problem involving sickles was displayed on the giant parchment ten inches long and wide.

"Oh, I've never touched a Sickle in my entire life!" Ron said as he desperately tugged his hair tightly.

"It doesn't matter whether you have touched a Sickle or not. Don't worry, I can fix it."

Aaron quickly stopped Ron from randomly guessing and making a fool of himself .

Aaron solved the problem as he took out 5 Sickles to demonstrate.

No one was able to solve the problem so quickly, not even Malfoy. Unless the player had seen the solution to the problem in advance, these young wizards wouldn't be able to solve these problems quickly.

Aaron quickly accepted the 5-pointed star-shaped Medal of Honor from the clerk.

"The 2nd topic is also related to coins."

said the clerk as he looked at Aaron with optimism.

"The next topic can only be solved by a single person, which one of you will be solving it?"

Ron looked towards Aaron eagerly, which made Aaron feel like he should be the one to do it.

"I'm am the one who will be participating!" Aaron replied to the clerk.

"Please close your eyes!" The clerk said as he covered Aaron's eyes with a thick red cloth.

Afterwards, the clerk took out a bunch of sickels and put it on the table, waved his wand, making the sickels arrange themselves on the table and said: "Here are 23 sickels placed on the table, ten of which face up. Please use the best method that divides these sickles into 2 piles, and the number of sickels in each pile needs to be equal. The whole pile should be either heads or tails "

"It's too difficult, the front and back of the sickel feel the same, and you can't tell if it is heads or tails if you can't see it!"

"This may require divination."

"Even if divination is useful,he is still have to blindfold. There is no way he can use crystal balls or tea leaves."

Ron looked towards Aaron worriedly, "It's over, Aaron said before that he can't do anything if it is related to magic!"

Without being affected by the onlookers, Aaron calmly collected 13 sickles and put them aside without flipping them. Then he chose ten sickels and placed them on the other side after flipping them.

"Exactly correct.This is really amazing at your age. Are you from a pure-blood family?" The clerk was obviously surprised that such a small child could have this intelligence, and he quickly untied the red cloth on Aaron's eyes.

As expected, Aaron was able to solve all the other problems too.

The clerk passed Lawrence's poster to Aaron.

Aaron, who hadn't completely transformed from a muggle's way of thinking couldn't help but notice that the image on the poster moves.

The image showed a man with an athletic body, sitting on a broomstick, ripping his clothes, while roaring, celebrating his victory.

He handed the poster to Ron after studying it for a while. Ron was embarrassed to take the poster as he didn't make any contribution to the game, but he couldn't stand the temptation of Lawrence.

"I'll stick him to the head of my bed, thank you Aaron!" Ron said while holding the poster tightly.

"I don't think that will be a good idea." Aaron glanced at Lawrence who was roaring on poster. "Then you will not be able to sleep well at night."

"Do you still want to continue to challenge?"

"Of course. You saw my friend's performance, he must be able to!" Ron said as he had begun to think Aaron was omniscient .

"Okay.", said the clerk as he waved his wand excitedly, without giving Aaron a chance to refuse. He also looked forward to how far Aaron could go.

"What is the Incantation of Levitation charm?"This question was really difficult for children, because most only begin to learn these incantations when they began their schooling."

"Wingardium Leviosa." This question was too easy for Aaron as he already knew this charm.

But at the same time, he knew this challenge will be soon over as the spells he knew were really limited.

As Aaron accepted the reality that he might fail the next question, an ethereal female voice rang out of thin air in his mind.

"Ding—The Greatest Bookworm System has taken root."
