After leaving Ollivander's wand shop, it was already noon, Professor McGonagall paid to take Allen and Crookshanks to lunch at the Leaky Cauldron, and then they went to the streets of Diagon Alley again.
"Get smaller quickly!"
Allen watched as Professor McGonagall took out her wand and pointed at the large suitcase and small trolley, a blue magic light flashed, and the full suitcase and small trolley became only the size of a palm.
"Okay, we should go back!"
Professor McGonagall picked up the large suitcase and small trolley, pocketed it, and stretched out her arm.
"Good!"
Allen froze for a moment, then understood immediately, grabbing Professor McGonagall's outstretched arm.
"The follower appears!"
With a wave of the wand, Professor McGonagall and Allen disappeared from the streets of Diagon Alley.
"Magic, what a magical power!"
Looking at the familiar orphanage room, Allen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Don't be envious. After you graduate from Hogwarts, you can easily cast these spells. Of course, the premise is that you study hard!"
Professor McGonagall took the large suitcase and small trolley out of her pocket and said to Allen after lifting the spell of reducing size.
"I will!"
Allen put Crookshanks down and nodded with a serious expression.
Of course, he will study magic well, because the world he lives in is not very safe, and magic is the only power he can master now that can protect himself.
To survive, he had to devote 200% of his energy to learning magic no matter what.
"This is your ticket to Hogwarts. On September 1st, at King's Cross Station, it's on the ticket. Your dean will drive you there by then. I've already agreed with him in advance. When the time comes, you will pay attention."
Compared to Hagrid who threw a ticket to Harry and rushed away, Professor McGonagall was much more careful. She not only told the director of the orphanage to send Allen but also told him that when he took the Hogwarts Express, there might be I talked to him about some of the problems.
After a while, Allen smiled and assured Professor McGonagall:
"Professor, I have already remembered, don't worry, I will take the Hogwarts Express train to school on time!"
Professor McGonagall nodded.
"Then see you at the beginning of school, and Mr Carmen, I think you are very suitable for Gryffindor!"
After leaving the last sentence, Professor McGonagall waved her wand, Apparated, and disappeared in place.
"The Reckless College?"
Seeing Professor McGonagall disappear, Allen couldn't help showing an embarrassed look on his face.
When he first knew that this was the world of "Harry Potter", Gryffindor and Slytherin were the first to be ruled out, and Wen Klaw was the first choice, followed by Hufflepuff.
After all, his original purpose was to learn magic and improve himself in this world with peace of mind.
And Gryffindor is a group of reckless people who are good at things, and they are the first to cause trouble. Slytherin has serious class conflicts, and he was born as an orphan and he is not easy to mix.
Neither of the two colleges could allow him to study with peace of mind.
In terms of the learning atmosphere, Raven Klao, who uses intelligence and intelligence as the selection criteria for students, is the best. They are all academic masters.
If you can't get Lawen Kelso, it's good to get Hufflepuff. The little wizards of Hufflepuff are generally honest and kind, at least they won't interfere with his study.
However, now Professor McGonagall seems to appreciate him and wants him to go to Gryffindor, and he can earn a little star in this world, so Gryffindor seems to be considered.
"Forget it, there is still a month left before the branch, so let's learn a few magic spells first so that we can deal with the car robbers and then think about it slowly!"
After hesitating for a while, he decided to put this question aside, and the most important thing now is to learn magic by himself.
Excitedly opened the big suitcase, and took out the bag containing the textbooks, Allen began to take out the magic books one by one and put them on the bed:
Standard Spells, Beginners, A History of Magic, The Theory of Magic, A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration, A Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi, Magic Potions and Potions, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and The Dark Arts: A Guide to Self-Defense consists of eight volumes.
There is only one month before his return, so some textbooks that are not helpful in combat can be discarded first.
After some thinking, Allen put the four books "A History of Magic", "A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms", "Magic Potions and Potions", and "Where to Find Fantastic Beasts" back into the book bag.
"History of Magic" is about the history of the magic world, which can only be read as an increase in knowledge, and "A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms" is an introduction to various herbs.
"Magic Potions and Potions" is very useful. Powerful potions can play an auxiliary role in battle, but in a month, he can't teach himself how to configure potions, and he doesn't have the materials to make powerful potions...
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", a book explaining all kinds of magical creatures, if he goes out for adventures in the future, he may use it, but forget it now.
With "Standard Spells, Elementary", "Magic Theory", "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" and "Black Magic: A Guide to Self-Defense", Allen left "Magic Theory" alone, and put the other three together first. On the table.
For a magic novice, Allen feels that he must first know what magic is and how it works before he can learn related spells.
And "Magic Theory", a book explaining basic theories, is what he needs to study most now.
Seriously picking up "Magic Theory" and sitting on the chair, Allen took a deep breath and slowly turned to the first page.
"To tamper with the deepest secrets at will - the source of life, the essence of self - must be prepared to suffer the most extreme and dangerous consequences."
—Waffling basic rule of magic, the first rule.
Four hours later, Allen closed "Magic Theory", rubbed his temples, and couldn't help sighing:
"Hermione Granger, you are worthy of being a master of the generation, she is amazing!"
Originally, Allen thought that he was also a person who had gone through the college entrance examination, and his learning ability was not bad in all aspects, and he had lived for more than 40 years, so his life experience was not insignificant. He should be able to handle the most basic magic theory...
But the truth is a slap in the face.
As a completely unfamiliar knowledge system, without the guidance of a teacher, Allen taught himself for four hours, feeling as if he was reading a bible.
It's like a mortal who suddenly got a secret book that can cultivate into an immortal. Without the guidance of a master, it is as difficult to comprehend every word by himself.
That's why he sighed when he thought that Hermione, an eleven-year-old girl, had learned most of her first-year magic before school started without any guidance.
Maybe Hermione was just that kind of prodigy and genius in the field of magic, and he was just a normal human being.
"I just hope that Little Red Star's refreshing function can be more powerful, otherwise it will be troublesome!"
