Harry Potter: I'm the Rolling King at Hogwarts

The next morning, Albert woke up from the bar room and saw a pile of gifts beside the bed.

There is an unopened bottle of Firewhiskey on the table, which Aberforth promised to give to Albert.

Firewhiskey is probably the favorite drink of wizards who like to drink, but for those underage wizards who are under 17 years old, firewhiskey is not allowed to drink, but Aberforth obviously does not take this rule seriously.

Fire whiskey not only brings an excellent taste to wizards who love to drink, but also gives them a hot feeling when they are drunk. It is said that it can also bring courage to timid wizards.

Albert continued to look at the pile of gifts. Harry and Ron still gave him a box of Bibi's multi-flavor beans, and Luna gave him an issue of "The Quibbler" magazine, which was about molesting flies.

Hermione gave Albert a pair of gloves she had knitted. Albert tried them on and found they were a bit too big. However, Albert was growing up now, and maybe they would be just right in a month or two.

Next is Professor Dumbledore's gift. Albert is somewhat looking forward to what Old Bee will give him. After all, Albert gave him good things last year, and this year he gave him several sets of thick wool socks. .

Albert opened the package and found a small transparent bottle with some transparent liquid inside. Albert shook it slightly but did not see what it was.

Fortunately, Dumbledore thoughtfully attached a letter, which wrote in circle-within-a-circle cursive letters: "Fawkes has been sad for a long time because of this little bottle, and now he is still angry with me."

It turns out to be the tears of the Phoenix!

Albert nodded with satisfaction. After all, he had made contributions to Hogwarts, and Old Deng had not treated him badly.

There is also a gift from Professor Flitwick. According to him, it is a notebook and a book list.It's all about the origin and creation of the curse.

The notebook was very thin, and Albert read it quickly. The general meaning was that wizards did not use magic spells before, but the appearance of the wand made it possible to cast spells quickly, and short and fast magic spells were developed.

Regarding modern magic spells, Professor Flitwick's explanation is that they are all derived from ancient magic patterns, that is, runes, which now look like patterns. This is a kind of magical writing.

Wizards arranged these magical words in a special order to stimulate the magic of the runes, and then translated them into modern languages, which became commonly used spells today.

The book lists are all about ancient runes, such as "History of the Development of Runes", "Encyclopedia of Ancient Magic Patterns" and so on.

Albert did not expect that magic spells were closely related to ancient runes. It seemed that the water of magic spells was deeper than Albert imagined, and he would have to wait until the third grade to truly get to the core.

But now he can buy all the books in the book list and read them, which can be regarded as laying some foundations in rune literature in advance.

…………

This is the first time Albert has come to Diagon Alley except during the summer. There are obviously fewer tourists than when school starts soon in the summer.

Albert couldn't remember where the potion shop was, but following the smell, Albert found the location of the shop accurately.

"Ding bell!" Albert pushed open the door and walked in. The smell of rotten eggs almost drove him away.

"I'd like to sell some Acromantula venom."

The British Ministry of Magic's bill is very strange. Acromantula eggs are prohibited items, but Acromantula venom is not. Coupled with the ridiculously high price of Acromantula venom, this clearly encourages wizards to smuggle. Or keep Acromantulas in captivity privately.

This store did not have sufficient funds. After all kinds of preparations by the clerk and the boss, they took away one-third of Albert's inventory, and a large part of it was exchanged for potion materials and finished potions.

Albert received about 5000 gold galleons, not counting the large amounts of precious potion raw materials, and he threw them all into the suitcase.

It had been predicted that the merchants in Diagon Alley did not have the financial resources to eat all of Albert's food, and the venom of so many Acromantulas was gathering dust. They needed to be resold quickly to prevent two stupid bats from accidentally drinking it. It would be bad if Sander caused trouble and spread poison into Tom's diary.

First, he went to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to buy the books recommended by Professor Flitwick. After quickly checking out and leaving, Albert found a deserted corner.

After drinking the medicine from the small bottle, Albert's height suddenly increased. This was the height-increasing medicine he had used during the last summer vacation.

Then he used the transformation technique to randomly pinch a face and change the wizard's robe to be wider. It was perfect.

Albert carried the suitcase, tightened his wand, and walked back along the original path, turned to a fork in the road, and walked into a dark alley.

This is the British magical world. Apart from the wilderness, this is the place where the most murders, smuggling, and trafficking of young wizards and young witches occur——

Knockturn Alley!

An old witch's big withered hands were stroking a white skull. For some reason, there was still a little blood on it. I don't know if it was on the skull or on the old witch's hand.

Seeing Albert come in, the old witch smiled sinisterly at Albert, revealing a gaping tooth. Her teeth were all black.

His clothes were ragged, and his whole body exuded the aura of black magic.

Albert knew that this was caused by the long-term use of black magic without restraint, which caused the black magic to corrode the body.

"Young man, is this your first time in Knockturn Alley? Are you lost? I can help you..." The old witch stretched out the skull in front of Albert and said.

Albert shook his head, bypassed the old witch, and continued walking forward. He saw more dark wizards. Most of them covered their bodies in black robes and quietly observed everything around them.

Albert clenched the wand in his hand, always on guard. If anyone dared to come up and strike first, he would never show mercy.

This is Knockturn Alley, a lawless and gray area in the wizarding world. Whenever a murder occurs, the Ministry of Magic turns a blind eye.

They seemed very excited to see Albert's new face. The eyes under the black robe could not suppress their desire. The hands in the robe were trembling, as if they wanted to give Albert an avatar, chew the big melon, and then pounce on it. Go up and eat his flesh.

But not understanding Albert's strength, they still suppressed their desires and waited to see what would happen.

This is almost the case every time a new person comes to Knockturn Alley, and everyone is watching.

They all hope that one person will take the lead and test the newcomer's abilities. If they see that the newcomer is a weakling, they will probably swarm over and fight for it. The winner will take the newcomer away. They would use the corpses or unconscious bodies of victims to conduct some inhumane black magic experiments.
