Chapter 198 Knockturn Alley
With the passage of time, Locke has learned more and more about the magic world of this world. He is no longer limited to the content of the movies he has seen, and is similar to many wizards who grew up in the magic world.

Just like the carriage that Locke and Hermione are riding now, it seems that there are no horses pulling the cart, but in fact it is pulled by a magical animal called Yeji.

This magical animal is special and cannot be seen normally, except when great emotion or emotion is generated.

Hogwarts College uses them to transport students to school and holidays. On the way, Locke popularized the knowledge of Yeji to Hermione. Although it is invisible to the naked eye, he can clearly perceive Yeji through spiritual power.

After hearing Locke's prompt, Hermione tried to sense it, and then said happily that she could also sense the existence of Ye Ji.

About 15 minutes later, Yeji's carriage arrived at the train station, and the students got off the carriage and boarded the train back to London.

When the train arrived at the station in the evening, Locke helped Hermione carry the suitcase and left the wizarding world through platform nine and three quarters.

"Hermione, Mr. Locke!" The Grangers had been waiting here for a long time, and they waved happily after seeing the two.

"Dad!" Hermione ran over with a smile, and threw herself into her father's arms. Mr. Granger laughed gratifiedly. He also missed his daughter very much, so he lifted Hermione up on the spot and turned around in a circle.

"Ma'am." Locke greeted Mrs. Granger with a smile.

"Mr. Locke, thank you for taking care of Hermione at school." Mrs. Granger said very politely.

"I just gave Hermione some advice on studying, and I didn't do anything else." Locke said with a smile.

"You are too modest." Mrs. Granger said: "The letter Hermione gave us before said a lot about you..."

"Mom!" At this time, Hermione, who was put down by her father, rushed over and hugged Mrs. Granger: "I miss you so much."

"We miss you too." Mrs. Granger smiled and stroked Hermione's head.

"Let's not stand here anymore, dinner is ready, Mr. Locke can come too." Mr. Granger patted Locke's shoulder and said.

"Yes, I made Hermione's favorite food." Mrs. Granger said with a smile.

The group left the station. Along the way, Hermione happily told her parents what was going on in the school, and kept talking about the details in the various letters. The Grangers seemed to be very interested, and they were also interested in the wizarding world. Very curious and longing.

Locke left after dinner as a guest at Hermione's house. During dinner, Hermione expressed great anticipation for the upcoming Christmas holiday. Before Locke left, he even invited:
"Godfather, do you spend Christmas alone? Why don't you come to our house to spend Christmas? Mom's Christmas dinner is the best..."

Smiling slightly, Locke listened to the chattering of the little Lolita. Compared to Peggy, who was about the same age, Hermione was obviously more childlike. At this time, she was as lively as an elf.

In the end, Locke still did not refuse her invitation. A few days later, he spent Christmas in the Granger family, and helped to decorate the Granger family carefully. The Christmas tree and various decorations filled the Granger family It is decorated like a fairy tale house.

After Christmas, Locke went to visit some shops in Diagon Alley. After a period of operation, Locke's potion shop has gained some fame here.

The whole circle of wizarding circles in the UK is not big, because of the status arranged by the system, many people have an impression of him, but they did not expect Locke, a wizard who just graduated, who does not seem to be from a pure-blood family, to be able to fight demons in the wizarding world. The pharmacy opened up so quickly.

Recently, Locke is planning to buy a plantation for growing various potion materials. Speaking of which, he has also planned to invest in Hogwarts, and Hogwarts' funds have always been tight.

It's a pity that you can donate money, but it's not so easy to become a school manager. Gallon is not qualified to become a Hogwarts school manager. contacts in the world.

For example, the reason why Lucius Malfoy was able to become a school manager was that, in addition to paying money, they also had considerable influence in the magic world. Locke wanted to become a school manager, but also needed fame and connections in the magic world , These are all things that he does not have at this stage.

After all, in the short time since he came to this world, Locke put most of his energy into systematically learning the world, collecting various magic books and magic materials.

Just like the potion material plantation that Locke purchased at a premium this time, after the acquisition is completed, Locke will find a way to collect various seeds and put them in the dimensional space. After the dimensional space expands in the future, he can farm in his own dimensional space.

In order to ensure that the seeds can germinate smoothly, you must even have some knowledge about planting. It is not so easy to master the magic system developed over thousands of years as comprehensively as possible. It is not just a large number of various spells.

The plantation of ordinary potion materials is easy to say, but it is not so easy to buy places to raise those magical animals, just like the dragon training farm that Locke is most interested in, without the permission of the Ministry of Magic, Locke has no qualifications to buy at all.

Generally speaking, if we want to 'empty' the magic world as we wish, we still need to do a lot of preparatory work.

Leaving Diagon Alley, Locke came to Knockturn Alley. Although the two places were only separated by a wall, the environment and the atmosphere they felt were completely different.

After entering Knockturn Alley, Locke was keenly aware that many scrutinizing and malicious eyes were on him.

Many of the wizards in Knockturn Alley concealed their appearance, and Locke also did as the Romans did, using magic to conceal his appearance and wearing a large cloak outside.

The gazes of the wizards I met along the way were very familiar, and Locke didn't call out to each other, and went straight to the Bojinbok store.

There was not enough light in the room, and there was some darkness. Locke looked at various items on the shelves, as if he was picking something.

"Is this guest here for the first time?" Bojinboke appeared in front of the counter with a sly gleam in his eyes at this time, tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically, and said with a very commercial smile:
"In the Bojinbok store, you can exchange for any service you want, as long as you can afford Galleons."

"Garon is not a problem for me. I want as many items on this list as I can make up." Locke took out a list, all of which he wanted to buy but could not obtain through normal channels. Items from the wizarding world, even magical animals and the like.

"Sir, what's on your list..." After reading the list, Bojinbok looked at Locke carefully. Even though the magic concealed his appearance, he seemed to be trying to identify Locke.

"Sure enough, slogans are just slogans." Locke curled his lips, and some of the things in his list were indeed not so easy to find, such as magical animals such as unicorns, phoenixes, and giant dragons.

It's really not easy to get this kind of thing. Fortunately, Bojinbok can get other items on the list, but it takes a certain amount of time and enough rewards.

For example, there is no way to get a living dragon, but the flesh and blood of the dragon is still no problem, but the flesh and blood of the phoenix and unicorn, Locke can only figure out a way at Hogwarts.

For Locke, even if he couldn't get the dragon, it would be good to get some flesh and blood, and it would also be useful.

Especially in the fairy tale world, Locke also got a kind of alchemy from the old witch, which can be used to transform the blood of creatures. If he has the flesh and blood of a dragon, he can try to do some special experiments.
