6 Diagon Alley II

Jack was currently roaming the Diagon alley he was in search of the book store Flourish and Blotts. He came across many different shops like Broomstick there were different broomsticks on display it just took a glance and moved forward as the time was less for the illusion to hold, many shops passed by like Eeylops Owl Emporium, Second-Hand Bookshop, Barbershop and many other.

He went to Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment it was where there were different trunks and bags displayed. He thought that there were enchanted trunks that are used by Hogwarts students.

He arrived in the shop the shopkeeper asked"what do you need sir? " Jack replies "I need an enchanted briefcase little smaller than trunk that he can carry easily".

The shopkeeper displayed various briefcases where there was extra space, The more the enchantment price also increased. there was an enchantment on briefcases like space enchantment he said it was extension charm .which came from twice the space to 50 times space it was up to a small room.

Jack choose a briefcase which was the size of a closed. there were many security enchantments on it. It cost him about 500 Galleons. It was a fair deal as the price tags were attached to the trunks.

He finally found the bookstore Flourish and Blotts there were not many people as it was not the time for the new semester to start. It was currently February 2 his birthday was on January 27. He went into the book store the manager asked: "Anything specific you need sir ?".Jack replied just "Browsing", the manager just nodded his head and sat down on his chair.

Jack was going through the racks of books, he came across many books like

The Book of Charms & Spells

A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration

Magical Drafts and Potions

The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection

A History of Magic

One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi

The Standard Book of Spells, Grade One

Magical Theory

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

and many others....

He looked through all the shelves of the bookstore but did not find the art of mind i.e occlumency and legilimency . as expected there were rare books probably they were controlled by Noble families and ministry. He did not want to risk going to Knockturn alley in this form he was not strong enough to protect himself there.

He arrived at the counter and named a list of books, the manager stared at me and I nodded in confirmation that I need these book he went and brought all the books it piled up to more than 40 books. These books were up to the 4th year of Hogwarts. It cost him about 600 Galleons there were some books which were more than 20 Galleons Like the spellbook of grade one any many more.

He was thinking if he should go to Knockturn alley as he did not have more than 20 minutes in the illusion. He was walking back and he came across the same store the Second-Hand Bookshop, he went inside the store was little rundown that Flourish and Blotts the were the same shelves were books he casually walked and started to browse through.

There were some books here which were not in Flourish and Blotts like spellbook of grades 2 and 3 and some more obscure topics of books regarding basic dark arts. He did not find the books on occlumency & legilimency. He was disappointed he was walking at the corner of the shop where the book condition was not good like old books he casually browsed through the books.

He was going through the books and one book found him strange a black book with no title on it but the pages of that book felt to jack as mysterious as the feeling he received was same as first he entered his consciousness .there were some obscure content written on the book about magical beast's it was not complete like the writing and all.

He decided to buy the book and research it at home. He brought the books it has cost him about 100 Galleons as the cost of spellbook was high, originally it was about 120 galleons it cost me 50 Galleons on 2nd hand.

Time was not in his side there were only 10 minutes left he contemplated that he will arrive, here again, He still needs to find the books on occlumency & legilimency.

At night jack was on his bed Holding the Mysteries book. He seems to think that it was something to do with the soul, as he remembered the feeling the book gave the same feeling when he has seen his soul for the first time.

He was trying different methods to see if there will be any change in the book. Like he was passing magic power through it and was concentrating on it but there was no result He got an idea to go inside his consciousnesses and observe the soul see that it could help.

He was in his consciousness he touched his soul like a sensation or thought he just willed it to happen he felt the same power from the soul. he confirmed the book was related to soul power/aura.

Now the challenge was that if he can use that soul energy like mana to use that book like he used mana to flow into the book to observe/to see any changes.
