Chapter 8

One month later.

Knockturn Alley welcomed a rare guest - Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron.

Everyone knows.

Knockturn Alley is one of the darkest and most dangerous places in the magic world.

The wizards here are usually some lawless or marginal figures.

They are highly vigilant against any strangers.

The moment Tom appeared at the end of the alley.

The originally noisy Knockturn Alley became quiet.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Tom.

Some wizards stopped their transactions.

Others quietly reached for their wands.

A tense and weird atmosphere filled the air.

Soon.

Whispers spread among the crowd.

"Isn't that Tom from the Leaky Cauldron?"

"Why is he here?"

"It seems that he is not normal today."

"Does he have any purpose?"

A wizard with scars on his face and fierce eyes walked forward.

Taunting.

"Hey, Tom, what are you doing here? Do you want to have some fun?"

Tom completely ignored his provocation.

He held his wand tightly in his hand.

His face seemed to say "Don't bother me".

He knew that in such a place.

Any unnecessary conflict could cause trouble.

Although he was not afraid of these criminals.

But he didn't want to cause trouble for no reason.

Of course.

No one would want to provoke him.

After all.

Tom was the owner of the Leaky Cauldron.

He had considerable influence in Diagon Alley.

If you can avoid it, don't touch him.

It's better to find out what his purpose is first.

Many wizards in cloaks began to follow Tom quietly.

Trying to figure out his true intentions.

They were watching in the dark.

Waiting for Tom's next move.

Tom walked slowly in Knockturn Alley.

Looking around.

He passed a small shop selling dark items.

The owner was an old wizard with wrinkles on his face.

He was staring at him with suspicion.

I don't know why.

Tom showed a smug expression.

But he didn't stop.

Continue to walk forward.

Then.

He passed a shop specializing in selling banned books and illegal potions.

The door of the shop was half open.

There was a burst of pungent smell coming from inside.

Tom glanced inside the shop.

Remembered this location.

Thinking that it might be useful in the future.

Suddenly.

Several dark wizards came out of an alley.

Blocked Tom's way.

They had malicious smiles on their faces.

One of them spoke.

"Tom, what is your purpose in coming here?"

Tom looked at them coldly.

Said in a cold tone.

"I'm just strolling around, there is no other purpose."

Those dark wizards obviously didn't believe it.

But they didn't dare to act rashly.

After all.

Tom's status in Diagon Alley cannot be underestimated.

They exchanged glances with each other.

Finally decided to make way for Tom to pass.

Tom continued to move forward.

Passing through the narrow alley.

Going around a few dilapidated houses.

He didn't seem to have any particular purpose.

He just casually walked around the alley.

A few minutes later.

He found a hidden exit.

He quickly left Knockturn Alley.

The criminals were confused by Tom's strange behavior.

They gathered together.

They whispered about why Tom came.

——

"Wuhu~"

In the room of the Leaky Cauldron.

Tom, oh no, Deverot shouted.

That's right.

Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron who just appeared in Knockturn Alley.

He was transformed by Deverot after taking the Polyjuice Potion!

This Polyjuice Potion took him a month to brew!

Now he finally made up the remaining 2% of the exploration of Diagon Alley.

Even more.

Now it has reached 70%.

When he passed the first store in Knockturn Alley.

The system prompted him to complete it.

He was a little greedy.

Want to try and see if he can increase the exploration.

Let's just max out the exploration today.

Unexpectedly, two people would come out to stop him halfway.

After he managed to trick the other party into retreating.

He ran out in a panic.

Never be so reckless again.

But he could adjust the time to the morning.

He thought that dark wizards wouldn't get up early.

Unexpectedly, there were still so many people.

Deveraux thought that they didn't get up early.

They just didn't sleep at all!

But at least he maxed out the exploration.

Deveraux waved his hand and opened his attribute panel.

...

After this month of study.

Devereaux has mastered several jinxes and disarming spells.

When facing the dark wizard.

It can be regarded as a bit of self-protection ability.

Apparition, on the other hand, is a bit risky.

He didn't dare to practice. If he got separated during the process, he would stop practicing.

Right.

There is also the issue of trace silk.

In fact, Devereux had thought of this when he first got the wand.

After all, he is also someone who has read the original work.

He didn't want to enter school yet.

This got him fired.

It has become the first thing when school starts.

Don't forget that Devereaux has the entry of a natural staff maker.

He simply spent a few days.

Checked out several wand making books.

Easily without alerting the Ministry of Magic.

Trace silk's signal was blocked.

Of course not taking it out directly.

This would surely alarm the Ministry of Magic.

Instead, a special structure is used.

Block the trace information.

Somewhere outside of Hogwarts.

He will open it.

While at Hogwarts.

Just open it.

This way no one can notice it.

Of course, it would be impossible for any other eleven-year-old wizard to do this.

But this golden entry is indeed too strong.

And the wand in his hand is also very cooperative.

I didn't get any sons for him.

This time he becomes Tom and enters Knockturn Alley.

It was also the Potion Genius (Gold) entry that made great contributions.

In fact, he was originally unable to find the formula and ingredients for Polyjuice Potion.

But after all, I have read the original work.

Based on a few quotes from the original work.

There is also the potion knowledge that has been stored up so far.

Combined with some non-illegal herbs bought in herbal shops.

Devereux brewed a condensed version of Polyjuice Potion.

Although it is short-lived and may not be very restorative.

For example, the Tom he just transformed into was much shorter than his original self.

At least ten centimeters shorter.

The eye color hasn't changed either.

And the cooking time is also shorter.

But the guys in Knockturn Alley didn't seem to see the flaw.

Anyway, the experiment was very successful.

There are currently no side effects.

"Okay, let's upgrade this entry now!"

Devereaux used the entry upgrade card with excitement on his face.

He chose Potions Genius.

After all, he was now Snape's Potions apprentice.

Improve your abilities in this area.

Whether you follow Snape or go it alone.

No problem.

【bite! 】

[The entry upgrade card is used successfully! 】

Devereaux suddenly felt a strange feeling appear all over his body.

It's very similar to when I got the Potion Genius entry before.

But this time it’s much more intense!

Suddenly he suddenly felt as if his body had changed again.

It was like Polyjuice Potion was working again.

Devereux turned to look at himself in the mirror.

It is obvious that I have grown taller!

"Ah? Are you helping me restore the effect of the potion to its optimal level?"

Devereaux pulled up the new entry and took a look.

[Potion Spirit (Red): You have the talent to prepare any potion. As long as you take a look at any potion, you can know its composition and production process. As long as you take any potion, the effect will be reversed. times. 】
