Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard

After receiving another reply from Dumbledore, Gretel decided to temporarily put aside his analysis of the magical configuration of the Floo Network and concentrate on studying first-year textbooks for young wizards, such as "Standard Charms (Elementary)" which recorded many interesting magics. 》.

Dumbledore felt that Gretel's current knowledge base was still quite poor, limited to the limits of a young wizard's magical knowledge. Analyzing and modifying a mature magic was not something that a young wizard who had first come into contact with the magical world could do.

Even with his help, it was not enough to complete the analysis of the Floo Network configuration in a short time, let alone modify and improve it.

In other words, he is now a civilian scientist with only ideas but no theory. His ideas are very strange and seem to make sense, but once he actually takes action, he will only be blinded.

Of course, the wording in Dumbledore's letter was very tactful.

Another advantage of Gretel is that he listens to advice. When he encountered problems in analyzing the magical configuration of the Floo Network for three consecutive days, Gretel decisively stopped.

But he did not give up, but decided to conduct his own research after he had sufficient reserves.

Nowadays, the two most urgent problems facing Gretel are two problems. One is solid knowledge.

It was only after receiving Dumbledore's notes that he realized his lack of magical knowledge.

For him, a quasi-first-year wizard, Dumbledore's notes are really difficult and obscure. Any discussion on magic configuration, verification and speculation of magic theory is like a bible to him.

It can be said that there are very few parts that he can understand and absorb. Trying to find relevant books at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore has little gain. After all, Flourish and Blotts Bookstore mainly serves young wizards, and there are not so many advanced books.

Of course, the salesperson said that if there were books you particularly wanted to own, you could place an order with them and they would help find them, but the price could easily be tens of Galleons, so the cash-strapped Grete had no choice but to give up.

After all, after the last round of purchasing, Dumbledore had very little Galleons left to support him, so he couldn't just bend his neck and let Dumbledore burst into gold coins.

Dumbledore seemed to have predicted his current situation, and several letters strongly recommended that he go to school and visit the Hogwarts library.

The second problem that needed to be solved was that he only realized it at Flourish and Blotts. He lacked a sufficient financial foundation.

Even in the Muggle world, a penny can stump the heroic man, let alone his desire to do magical research in the wizarding world. As we all know, research is a bottomless pit.

For him, an almost impoverished little wizard, research was like a dream.

Even if the early theoretical research does not require any other investment other than a head of hair, once the theory begins to be transformed into practice, economic issues will become a big mountain in front of him.

He had to think of some way to raise money, at least to raise enough galleons to support his research before the theory came to fruition.

But for him, this is not that urgent. After all, he is still young, and in his original life plan, before the age of seventeen or eighteen, his only job was to study.

Nowadays, it is just a matter of changing the learning process from the Muggle world to the magical world.

Although he cannot become Gretel, the great capitalist in the British orthodoxy in America, it is not bad to become the leading Gretel family in the magic world from scratch.

"Hogwarts Express, Platform 9 of King's Cross Station? Mike, my good boy, are wizards even so weird about trains?"

Mrs. Swann had known for a few days that Hogwarts would start on September 1st, but this was the first time she saw the tickets.

She had finished packing early this morning and was ready, and planned to send Gretel to take the train in person.

Gretel was stunned when he went downstairs and saw Mrs. Swann, because he saw Mrs. Swann put on the nun's uniform that she only took out from the bottom of the box at Christmas.

The sleeves of the dress were embroidered with the names of all the children who had left St. Mary's Home.

As the largest transport hub in Great Britain, King's Cross station handles an astonishing amount of people every day.

Gretel and Mrs. Swann pushed a small cart and struggled through the crowd.

"Grete, are you sure your school's train departs from here?" Mrs. Swann asked doubtfully.

In Mrs. Swan's eyes, there is simply not enough space between platform nine and platform ten to insert another platform nine and three-quarters that can accommodate a train.

But in Gretel's eyes, the fluctuations on the pillars were so obvious, and there were extremely obvious ruts and long-stepping footprints on the ground in front of the wall.

There was no doubt that the two of them had found the right place. This was the platform leading to the Hogwarts Express.

"Mother Gretel, believe me, hold on tight, we will rush over together."

Out of trust in Grete, Mrs. Swann and Grete grabbed the trolley tightly together.

The two started running and sprinting together, and rushed to another space with a wave of waves without any hindrance.

The two of them raised their heads together, and the sign on platform nine and three-quarters welcomed the new blood in the wizarding world. The express train bound for Hogwarts stopped at the platform.

Even though it has been running for so many years, its appearance is still shiny black, with almost no signs of wear.

Mrs. Swann made a sign of prayer and exhaled a long breath.

"Grete, what's wrong with you?" It was only then that Mrs. Swann noticed that Little Grete's body beside her was a little stiff. Now he looked a bit like a little hedgehog about to explode, and he was completely different from his usual gentleness.

"I'm fine, Mother Gretel, I'm just, um, a little nervous."

Mrs. Swann no longer felt nervous outside the platform, and rubbed his head, "Study hard when you get to school, and if you have nothing to do, send me a few more letters."

Gretel nodded meekly, but his eyes were fixed on every wizard and wizard who passed by him.

After all, given the current situation in the wizarding world, there are indeed many wizards who discriminate against Muggles. He is worried that any guy will cause harm to Mrs. Swann. Whether it is physical or verbal harm, he will never allow it.

In fact, he originally didn't want Mrs. Swann to see him off, but Mrs. Swann was so eager that he couldn't even refuse.

Therefore, he was ready to protect Mrs. Swann, and the wand was already inserted in the most convenient place.

He even doesn't mind letting the wizard's cubs feel his 'friendship' for the next seven years.

Of course, even the stupidest wizard would not show discrimination or even attack Muggles next to the Hogwarts Express during the first season of Hogwarts.

Not to mention, there are Aurors from the Ministry of Magic roaming around.

Fortunately, until he got into the car, he didn't encounter any bloody provocation.

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Swann, Gretel took out his magic wand and waved it lightly. His luggage floated behind him and he got on the train with him.

He arrived not too early, and he searched all the way along the aisle. There were not many empty seats left.

I walked straight towards the back of the car, until I reached the last few carriages, which seemed a little emptier.

"Is there anyone? I came in when there was no one." Gretel knocked a few times, but no one answered. With a smile on his face, Grete opened the carriage door with a creak.

On one side was the red-haired boy, who seemed to be starving and was stuffing snacks into his mouth. On the other side, the big round glasses eyes were staring at the luggage floating behind his head.

"Sorry to bother you." Gretel decisively closed the door and left quickly.

To be honest, he came to Hogwarts to study, and he didn't want to have anything to do with the legendary savior. After all, that would mean endless trouble.

The backend has received the contract website information, and book friends can make a wave of investment.

By the way, I would like to ask for recommendation votes and follow-up reading. The minimum price of two chapters per day is 4,000+. If there are recommendations in the future, I will update it as appropriate.

small theater:

Harry: Is it the senior?

Ron: I think so. I begged my brother for two months and he didn’t teach me magic, so he must be the senior.

Harry: Do you think he looks at us like...

Ron: Like watching two more troubles.
