Chapter 9: Hello, Harry!

Three days later, George successfully got a copy of the "Guide to Gesture Casting" from the clerk at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

Ten days later, George stood in the yard, waved his wand at a locked box and chanted:

"Aloha!"

A blue beam of magic shot out from the tip of the wand and hit the box accurately.

Most magic spells are accompanied by light beams of different colors when cast, especially offensive and directional magic, such as the Unlocking Spell, the Disarming Spell, and the Killing Curse.

But there are also some magic spells that are cast silently and without any obvious signs, such as the Flying Spell, the Repairing Spell and the Levitation Spell.

"Pah."

A crisp sound came from the lock, and the lock popped open automatically.

"Finally succeeded."

Seeing this, George showed a satisfied smile on his face.

After ten days of sleepless research, and occasionally asking Tonks for advice, he was finally able to successfully cast the Unlocking Charm.

And through these days of study, he also realized that he was not a so-called magic genius.

A true genius is like Hermione, who has never been exposed to anything and has no one to guide her. While spending most of her time learning the history and common sense of the wizarding world, she also finds time to learn spells, and easily masters several types of magic before school starts.

The more talented ones, like Snape, can create powerful spells while at school.

As for Dumbledore, Grindelwald and Voldemort, they can no longer be described as geniuses.

But fortunately, he also has his own methods.

He said he studied for ten days, but in fact he could be said to have studied for twenty days.

When the body here could no longer hold on and needed to rest, the main body in the Marvel world took over.

The most important thing in learning magic is talent, followed by diligence. If he doesn't have enough talent, he can make up for it with diligence.

The main body is in the experimental base, and there is nothing else to do except training. He has a lot of free time. He can find a stick similar to a magic wand to practice his hand feeling.

Speed up your learning of spells through constant practice and understanding.

Just be careful to hide or turn your back to the surveillance camera and don't be discovered. Even if you are discovered, it doesn't matter because no one in the world knows what he is doing anyway.

Once his original body is free, he will learn magic even faster because he will have twice as much time as others to learn and study magic.

In fact, if it is not considered cheating, being able to learn a spell in ten days would be considered a genius among wizards.

You have to know that most young wizards can't master much magic in a year, and the worst ones can only master a few.

"The next step is to keep practicing hand gestures until you succeed in casting a spell. Then you can consider the next spell."

After experimenting several times and making sure he had fully mastered the Unlocking Charm, George immediately threw away his wand and began to practice the Unlocking Charm according to the instructions in the "Guide to Gesture Casting".

After another eight days, through continuous practice of his original body and clone, he was finally able to successfully cast the Unlocking Spell without using a wand.

However, compared to the one or two seconds it takes to release the unlocking spell using a wand, it takes about seven or eight seconds to cast a spell using hand gestures instead of a wand. Even if you are proficient in it, it will probably take five or six seconds.

If two wizards were dueling, five or six seconds would be enough for the other wizard to use his wand to cast three or four attack spells.

No wonder this method of casting has been eliminated.

"August 21st. Today is the day Lockhart signs books at Flourish and Blotts."

In the morning, George was eating breakfast while looking at the date on the magic calendar and slowly calculating in his mind.

He naturally had no interest in the big liar Lockhart, but if he remembered correctly, today was the day when Harry Potter and the Weasley family came to Diagon Alley to purchase school supplies.

After completing his first year, Harry returned to his aunt and uncle's house who hated him during the summer vacation. Because of the house-elf Dobby, he was locked up by his uncle and was not allowed to go to Hogwarts.

It was his good friends Ron and the Weasley brothers who secretly drove their father's magic car and took him back to live in the Burrow.

"Then let's make contact first."

In the end, he still felt that he could take the initiative to contact her.

Compared to Voldemort who will be resurrected in a few years, he feels that he can gain more from being with Harry and the others now.

Many places and things in Hogwarts were basically inaccessible if he wanted to, but there was no problem when he was with Harry and the others.

For example, in the restricted area of the Hogwarts Library, it would be basically impossible for him to secretly read the magic books inside.

But if he's with Harry, Dumbledore will turn a blind eye, and the same goes for things like the Room of Requirement.

So, after breakfast, George did not continue to study the spell as usual today, but stood at the window of the pharmacy hall and observed outside.

About an hour later, he saw a father and son with blond hair walking into the Bojin Blog store opposite with elegant steps.

"That should be the Malfoys.

It appears that Harry Potter is already in the store."

They dared to bring the children into Knockturn Alley at this time. Coupled with their expensive wizard robes and the aura of superiors, it was easy to judge their identities.

Sure enough, about ten minutes later, when the father and son left the Bokin Blog Shop, a thin boy wearing glasses and covered in dust ran out of the shop in a hurry.

"Where is this?"

Harry stood in the narrow, dark alley, feeling a little creepy as he looked at the shops around him that seemed to be full of dark magic.

In the window of the shop next door, there were some shrunken human heads displayed eerily, and in front of the shop two doors away, there was a large cage filled with huge black spiders.

Turning his head to look at a dark doorway on the right, he saw two ragged wizards looking at him and whispering.

"I want to get out of here quickly. I hope I can find my way out."

Today he used Floo powder for the first time, but something went wrong and instead of arriving at Diagon Alley, he ended up in a scary and strange shop, and accidentally saw the illegal transaction between Malfoy and his son.

"Are you lost?"

Just as he was timidly preparing to avoid the dark doorway and grope in another direction, a steady but slightly childish voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Turning around, he saw a boy who was as thin as him but had a very determined face, standing behind him holding a magic book.

"This is Knockturn Alley, where dark wizards gather. It's not safe for you to be here alone."

"Hello, my name is Harry, I came here accidentally because of the Floo powder, and I wanted to go to Diagon Alley."

Perhaps sensing the kindness from the little boy, Harry hurriedly explained.

George smiled when he heard this:

"Hello, Harry, my name is George, and you probably pronounced Diagon Alley as Knockturn Alley. but it doesn't matter, they are connected, I will take you out."
