Harry Potter: The Grand Arcanist

Paz's eyes fell on the alley between a large bookstore and a record store. People passing by in a hurry didn't even glance at it. It should be said that they couldn't see the tavern in the alley at all.

Is there some kind of magic here?

No arcanist would appear in such a small, dirty tavern without necessity.

When Paz walked into the tavern with his bag on his back, several old women were sitting in the corner of the tavern drinking. There was also an old man smoking a long pipe at the counter and chatting with the tavern owner.

As soon as Paz entered the Leaky Cauldron, he attracted the attention of the pub owner.

"New student at Hogwarts? where is your family?"

"How do I get to Diagon Alley on my own?"Paz said straight to the point. He looked at the tavern and couldn't help frowning. It was too dark and dirty, just as bad as the tavern in his impression.

"follow me."Tom looked at the disgusted boy in front of him and asked him to follow him.

Turning into the backyard of the Leaky Cauldron, Tom stood on the trash can and said to Paz,"Just tap this brick lightly with your wand. , you can open the way to Diagon Alley. I suggest you go to Gringotts first to exchange money, and then buy yourself a wand and the other items you need to buy."

Paz stared at the wall. The brick that the tavern owner had knocked suddenly started to shake and began to move to both sides. A small hole appeared in the middle. The hole became bigger and bigger, turning into a road large enough for people to pass through.

The tavern owner said to Paz:"Welcome to Diagon Alley."

"They are really like mice, they like to hide!"Paz whispered softly.

"Sorry, what did you say?"

"nothing."Paz walked into Diagon Alley.

On the street, there were many wizards in robes, as well as people like Paz wearing ordinary clothes.

Paz strolled on the street like a stroll, observing the shops on the street, his His goal was not Gringotts, and he had no intention of buying a wand.

His goal was a bookstore called Flourish and Blotts, where he could buy spell books.

For an arcanist, knowledge was the most valuable. Something. Paz couldn't wait to uncover the magical mystery of this face.

The bookstore owner was entertaining the guests, and Paz didn't bother him. He walked around the bookstore filled with books all the way to the ceiling.

Perhaps, the cheapness of paper made books cheap, and knowledge became cheap.

Paz took out a spell book and flipped through it, frowning slightly.

This book was about transfiguration, which was similar to transfiguration magic. It focuses more on changing items and giving the possibility of turning dead objects into short-term living things. Or is the direction of the research on transformation magic distorted?

Or, because it does not require combat, magic is not biased towards combat.

Moreover, the way of casting spells is different. What he thought was completely different.

There were no restrictions on spells in this world, which was enough to make Paz ecstatic.

Magic did not require analytical formulas at all, nor did it require casting materials. As long as you were a wizard, you followed the spells and gestures. Foolish magic that you can learn with practice?

"Sure enough, it is an upgraded version of the Warlock." he whispered softly

"Kid, new kid at Hogwarts?"

"Oh, yes, new book, I want to buy this……"Paz took out the parchment from his pocket and handed it to the bookstore owner, and continued to flip through the book without raising his head.

"Pretending to understand if you don’t understand."The bookstore owner murmured in a low voice and said to Paz:"It will take a total of fifteen galleons."

"This thing?"Paz took out his money bag and took out a gold coin and asked

"Yes, this is Galleons. 1 Galleon is equal to 17 Sickles, and 1 Sickle is equal to 29 Nats. Didn’t the goblin at Gringotts tell you?"The bookstore owner took the 15 Galleons, wrapped the books, and handed them to Paz. He had no idea that Paz had not been to Gringotts yet.

However, the Galleons, Sickles, and Nat that the bookstore owner mentioned were , Paz can match the number.

No matter where you go, the order of exchange for gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins will never be wrong.

Having said that, the purchasing power of this thing is not bad.

"By the way, is there a hotel near here? asked Paz.

"If you want to stay, you can go to the Leaky Cauldron and book a room with Old Tom."The bookstore owner suggested

"Is it that shabby bar you came in from?"

"Yes, that bar is indeed a bit shabby."The bookstore owner muttered and handed the book to Paz.

"I understand, I'll give this back to you."Paz closed the book in his hand, handed it back to the other party, and left with the book he just bought.

"What a weirdo."The bookstore owner muttered, and suddenly he felt something was wrong with his feet. He lowered his head and found that the boots he had just bought were missing and replaced by two mice.

Ah, a sharp scream sounded in the bookstore. , attracting the attention of the surrounding wizards.

Everyone saw that the owner of Flourish Blossoms Bookstore was catching two mice.

One of the mice even ran out of the bookstore and was caught by the other party. When he caught the mouse from his arms, he discovered that it was actually his boots.

The street fell into an eerie silence, and everyone looked at the bookstore owner who was holding his boots.

"Mom, is he crazy?"

"Yes, yes, so pitiful."A pair of red-haired twins whispered.

"Shut up."The woman scolded. She stepped forward and asked,"Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm fine. It's just that my boots turned into mice for some reason, which is really weird."The bookstore owner's face turned red and he quickly put on his boots again.

He returned to the bookstore, picked up the book that Paz had just read and prepared to put it back on the bookshelf. After seeing the name of the book, a feeling suddenly surged in the bookstore owner's mind. Could this weird illusion be caused by the boy just now?

No, this is absolutely impossible.

After all, the boy is just a freshman. How could he accomplish such a difficult transformation magic?

What's more, the bookstore owner? I didn't hear the boy chanting a spell, and he didn't even have a wand, let alone use transformation magic.

"It seems that in the wizard's territory, casting spells without using a wand will not arouse the ideas of the previous group of wizards."Paz observed the area for a few minutes and finally determined this fact.

The investigative methods of the group last time should be subject to certain restrictions.

Paz returned to the Leaky Cauldron with the purchased books, came to the counter, and asked Old Tom Said:"I want to reserve a room"

"Two sikes a day, plus extra if you need food!"Old Tom said

"One month!"Paz paid 3 Galleons and 9 Sickles in advance and booked a room in the bar."

Old Tom was completely unaware of what kind of guy came to his tavern.
