Hogwarts Survival Sim

1991 7 Month 31 Day.

Charing Cross Road, London.

People rushing in and out never noticed that just across the road, between a big bookstore and a record store, there was a dingy little bar.

Ethan is sitting in this bar now. In fact, he has been waiting here for several hours.

The Leaky Cauldron, the connecting point between the Muggle and wizarding worlds.

The entrance to Diagon Alley can be found by walking through the bar's backyard and hitting the wall tiles next to the dumpster in the right way.

But Ethan didn't act rashly.

Because just a week ago, he had found the best way to escape danger through the survival simulator.

[The ninth survival simulation begins]

[On July 7th, you received your Hogwarts admission notice. 】

[On July 7st, you chose to take Muggle transportation to the Leaky Cauldron. 】

[You met the famous Harry Potter in the bar and greeted him. 】

[You entered Diagon Alley with Harry Potter. 】

【You safely purchased essential items. 】

[Congratulations on successfully escaping the pursuit of death! 】

[The simulation ends, you can choose one of the following rewards. 】

[[-]. The Marauder's Map (Diagon Alley Special Edition)]

[[-]. Signed photo of Harry Potter]

[[-]. Hagrid’s same pink umbrella]

[Danger follows you everywhere, and I will never leave you. 】

[The crisis is temporarily over, I wish you a happy life, and we will see you next time~~]

Yes, the only way to escape danger is to enter Diagon Alley with Harry Potter.

After several failed simulations, Ethan realized that the way he died was related to magic.

So he decided to take Muggle transportation to Diagon Alley.

It turns out he was right.The Will of the World, Ethan prefers to call it the mastermind behind the scenes, only has the means to control the magical world, but has minimal influence on the Muggle world.

After all, this is a story about wizards and magic.

But things were not as simple as he thought.

After inexplicably attracting Professor Quirrell's attention several times and dying tragically at his hands.

In addition to getting a scarf of the same style as Quirrell, Ethan finally realized that the key to survival lies in the person he is waiting for now.

Ethan sat in the corner of the bar, holding a simple piece of parchment in his hand.

The parchment was covered with dense ink dots, two of which were stuck together, particularly attracting his attention.

'Quirinus Chilo'

'Tom Riddle'

"Voldemort?" Ethan's lips moved silently.

Although he was so close to the Dark Lord who made wizards fearful, Ethan didn't feel scared at all.

In fact, he is not timid in nature.

Even if he learned that there was an invisible and intangible man behind the scenes who was targeting him and even wanted to kill him, he did not panic.

"You won't let me live, but I want to live well for you to see."

The noisy bar suddenly became quiet.

Ethan came back to his senses, looked up at the door of the bar, and sure enough he saw the thin figure with baggy eyes.

The bar was lively again, and Harry Potter was shaking hands with everyone in the bar.

Ethan was not in a hurry to step forward, he was still waiting patiently.Until Professor Quirrell left the bar, until Hagrid led Harry across the bar to the patio.

Only then did he walk up.

"Hello, Harry!"

Harry turned around and saw a tall boy walking towards him.

He has short straight black hair and rare black pupils. He is wearing a bright red robe with several stars on it.

Ethan stretched out his hand to Harry and continued:

"I'm Ethan, Ethan Granger."

"Harry Potter."

"Of course, I don't think any wizard doesn't know your name." He smiled kindly: "Actually, I am also a freshman at Hogwarts this year."

"Freshman?" Harry raised his head and said in surprise, "I thought you were several years older than me!"

"Harry, maybe you lack exercise. If you are willing, I can help you make an exercise plan."

"Well -" Harry hesitated for a moment.

Seeing Hagrid looking at him, Ethan also extended his hand to Hagrid.

"I think you must be Mr. Hagrid, the gamekeeper of Hogwarts and the person Principal Dumbledore trusts most."

Hagrid's face turned red. He wiped his huge palms awkwardly and shook hands with Ethan.

"Ha-I-indeed, actually, just call me Hagrid."

"I think you must also be here to buy essential supplies for school, shall we?"

"Of course!"

So Hagrid started counting the tiles on the wall.

"Count three dollars upwards... count two dollars sideways..." He whispered, "Okay, stand back, kids."

The brick began to shake, and a hole appeared in the middle of the wall, growing larger and larger until it finally formed a wide archway, leading to a winding cobblestone street with no end in sight.

"Welcome," Hagrid said, "Welcome to Diagon Alley." Seeing Harry's surprise, Hagrid grinned at him.

Ethan also felt that this was a novel experience. After all, it was his first time to go to Diagon Alley from this passage.

After passing through the archway, the wall behind him returned to its original state in an instant.

There are many strange shops in front of him. Although he has been here several times before, Ethan is still immersed in the wonder of the magical world.

"Harry! We have to get the money first."

Ethan came back to his senses, waved at them and said:

"I'm going to buy what I need first, so I won't be with you."

"See you later."

"See you later."

……

After parting ways with Harry and the others, Ethan took out his Marauder's Map again.

"Let me see," he murmured, "Flourish and Blotts, Madam Malkin's Robes, the pot shop, the stationery shop, Ollivander's..."

"Obviously I should have a wand of my own."

Soon, Ethan found this small and shabby store. The gold sign on the door had peeled off and read:

Ollivander: Made fine wands since 380 BC.

A wand stood alone on a faded purple upholstery in a dusty window.

"Jingle--"

He opened the door and walked in. A crisp ringing sound came from the store.What comes into view is a mountain of long and narrow paper boxes.

Ethan looked around, and finally he found the old man.

Ollivander.

"Hello," Ollivander said softly, "new student at Hogwarts?"

"Yes, sir. I need a wand."

"Excuse me, what's your name?"

"Ethan Granger."
