Chapter 192 Placement of Assets
The summer vacation passed without knowing it, Hermione was about to start school, and Locke also studied the magic books he bought.

The identities arranged by the system are just identities. It is impossible to directly teach Locke all kinds of magical knowledge in this world. However, with his super-strong mind and solid foundation, Locke has easily fully grasped the general skills of wizards in this world. Knowledge.

But obviously, these are just the basics. The books that can be bought in bookstores do not include a larger number of banned books. Locke feels that he still needs to find opportunities from Hogwarts College.

"Mr. Locke, many of the magic principles you told me are not recorded in the book. You know so much, you must be a well-known wizard in the magic world."

Putting down her notebook, Hermione looked at Locke with admiration.

"Actually, I'm not well-known in the magic world." Locke shrugged his shoulders: "Because I prefer to focus on research and don't like to be in the limelight."

"Is that so? It feels a little pity." Hermione couldn't help but said.

"The magic world is not as enjoyable as you imagined, and you will know when you get to the academy." Locke said slowly:

"I come from a Muggle family. Many so-called pure-blood families with inheritance look down on people like me. If I show too prominently, it may cause some trouble."

"But when encountering such unfair things, shouldn't we find a way to fight?" Hermione couldn't help but said.

"These things are deeply rooted in the wizarding world. Instead of spending time and energy on fighting, it is better to focus on improving your own magic."

Locke said slowly: "Magic is an extraordinary power, and if you want to win the right to speak, you must have enough strength.

This is what I want to tell you, don't waste time and energy on unnecessary verbal disputes, and focus more on improving your own strength.

When you are strong enough, no matter what these people think in their hearts, they must give you enough respect. "

"Okay." Hermione was still a little bit aggrieved.

"Okay, you're about to start school, maybe we can still meet often when you get to Hogwarts." Locke said with a smile.

"Really?!" Hermione exclaimed in surprise.

"I got a job as a library manager at Hogwarts, so that it would be convenient for me to study magic books that are not available in the market, so when you get to the college, we should meet often."

"Great." Hermione cheered, she was about to go to a strange place, and it was indeed a joy to have familiar people.

It was finally the day when Hogwarts started school. Locke came to Granger's house early in the morning, watched Hermione count the supplies needed for school one last time, and then drove to King's Cross train station.

"Mr. Locke, where is that platform?" Mr. Granger asked.

"It's clearly printed on the train ticket, Mr. Granger," Locke said.

"But I've been on the train many times, and I've never seen platform 9." Mr. Granger frowned and said, "Is it some kind of invisibility magic?"

Seeing Locke's acquiescence with a smile, Mr. Granger could only say, "Okay, tell me where it is quickly, we have half an hour to drive, so don't waste time."

"Father idiot." Hermione, who was with Locke, said with a smile, "Platform 9, of course, is between platforms nine and ten."

"Really?" Mr. Granger looked at Locke: "I thought that things in your magical world used to violate the common sense of ordinary people."

"This may be the case in other aspects, but the platform is an exception. After all, some new students whose parents are ordinary people have to be taken care of." Locke explained.

"Sure enough, I guessed it right!" Hermione said with a smile.

A group of four came to the open space between the ninth platform and the tenth platform. Mr. Granger couldn't help looking around, and Locke pointed to the load-bearing wall pillar in front of him.

"Then how should we get there?" Mr. Granger looked at the wall in front of him, and then he saw a boy in his teens bumping into the wall with his luggage and disappearing.

"Isn't that child afraid of being seen just going in like this?" Mr. Granger couldn't help asking.

"There is a magic spell here, which will make people ignore it subconsciously. If there is no reminder, no one will notice what happened."

Locke explained: "Even if someone notices, the wizards patrolling nearby will take care of it.

Well, don't waste time, Mr. Granger, Hermione and I will go in, only wizards can pass through here, ordinary people will just bump into the wall. "

"Okay." The Grangers could only watch Hermione tell her to be careful, and then begged Locke to take good care of her.

Agreeing immediately, Locke stepped forward with Hermione, and soon discovered that the surrounding environment had undergone tremendous changes, and Hermione looked around with a feeling of novelty.

"It's up to you next time. This is a bus specially for freshmen." Locke took Hermione to the ticket gate, explained to her, watched her get on the train, and then left after the train left.

Locke is not in a hurry to go to Hogwarts. He is not like the professors in the college. They still have a lot of work for freshmen to enroll. On the contrary, Locke, the librarian, is very leisurely and can wait two days before taking up his post.

Due to the limitation of blood, there are not many people in the wizarding world as a whole, just like the British magic world, thousands of people have also been divided into various factions and organizations. In Locke's view, they are the little demons with great wind and shallow water kings. More than eight.

Even if the higher-ups in the wizarding world have a little self-knowledge, the entire wizarding world is self-conscious, and if they really want to control the world of ordinary people, the final result will probably be the opposite.

Locke didn't intend to stay at Hogwarts all the time. Ever since he knew he came to this world, Locke had his own plan. He had already bought property in Diagon Alley a few days ago.

The location is on the street behind Gringotts. Most of the houses here are the residences of wizards, both for sale and for rent.

However, most wizards will choose to rent a house, because for ordinary wizards, it is too expensive to permanently buy a house in Diagon Alley, especially those houses that have cast the permanent traceless extension spell.

What Locke bought was a street-facing house. The entrance was only as wide as a few doors from the outside, and the total of the upper and lower floors was only [-] to [-] square meters.

But after entering, each floor is a spacious space of more than 360 square meters, and Locke spent nearly [-] galleons to buy it.

Buying a house in Diagon Alley is relatively simple, you only need to negotiate with the original owner, and then accept the review of the Ministry of Magic, but this review is relatively simple, that is, submit some Galleons for registration.

But if you want to open a shop in Diagon Alley, it will be more troublesome. The whole process is very cumbersome, and the Ministry of Magic has to review all aspects of the applicant.

On the contrary, almost no one cares about the Knockturn Alley next door. As long as there is a house, you can open a shop casually, but because of the overall environment, the safety cannot be guaranteed enough, and you need to rely on your own strength.

Because Locke exchanged large sums of money for Galleons one after another in a short period of time, the goblins of Gringotts showed more enthusiasm for Locke and raised his service level.

In addition to Diagon Alley, many wizards gathered in Hogsmeade, and some wizards lived with ordinary people or lived in their own manors.

It is still very convenient to move between several locations with Floo powder or apparition.

In addition to the house in Diagon Alley, Locke also bought a house in Hogsmeade, and applied for the establishment of a Floo network between the two houses.

Buying a house a few times went well. Locke bought a house with the permanent traceless extension spell, and the price was higher than the market price.

In addition to the house, Locke had applied for two house-elves at the Ministry of Magic's House-Elf Resettlement Office the other day.
