Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 47 Light Wheel 2000
Tierra keenly sensed the undertone of truancy in those words.

Just as Tierra was about to say something, an owl flew in accompanied by a large number of packages.

Tierra received a cardboard box containing the potion ingredients he had just purchased from Slug and Giggs' apothecary this week. Thanks to Harry's investment and the Galleons he had exchanged for pounds from Gringotts, Tierra was now quite well-off. Most of the ingredients were magical materials from magical creatures, and Tierra had also specifically purchased some herb seeds from the apothecary.

After all, he owns an entire planet, it would be a real shame not to plant something on it.

Although his graduate major in his previous life was molecular crop breeding, and he mainly worked in the laboratory, the village where their experimental fields were located suffered from a severe loss of young people. The youngest temporary worker their research group could hire was 72 years old...

So he and his fellow students had to roll up their sleeves and do most of the planting work together...

Therefore, Tierra has a certain grasp of some basic agricultural planting techniques.

Even before receiving the letter of admission, Tierra had wanted to plant something in the few acres of medicinal garden surrounded by Merlin.

However, firstly, he had no way to obtain herb seeds at the time, and secondly, he was alone and weak.

That's why Tiera was in such a hurry to learn Transfiguration.

In addition to creating magical items, they also wanted to be able to create an automatic seeding device.

The Weasley twins didn't receive any emails this time, apparently because their allowance was almost gone and they had to be frugal.

However, the most striking of all the owl messengers is the long, thin package carried by six long-eared owls.

Tiera understood what it was at a glance.

Professor McGonagall bought Harry a Nimbus 2000!

After the six owls flew over Harry, they simultaneously released their talons.

The heavy package was slammed onto the table in front of Harry, the loud noise drawing the attention of everyone in the restaurant.

Just as the six owls flapped their wings and flew away, Hedwig, all white, flew into Harry's arms with a letter in her beak.

Harry tore open the letter first, and it read: "Don't open the package on the table. It contains your new flying broom, Nimbus 2000. I don't want everyone to know you have a new broom, lest they all want one too."

Oliver Wood will be waiting for you at Quidditch Stadium tonight at 7 p.m. to give you your first training session.

Professor Mimag

Harry handed the text message to Ron, unable to hide his joy.

“A Nimbus 2000!” Ron exclaimed enviously. “I’ve never even touched one.”

Hari, Tyrell, and Ron hurriedly left the hall, hoping to find a secluded spot before the first class to open the package and retrieve their flying brooms.

However, as fate would have it, just as they were passing through the foyer, the three of them ran into Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle, who were about to enter.

"Look! Someone's giving poor Potter a present again!" Malfoy shouted, trying to snatch the package from Harry's hands.

But then Malfoy was startled by Tyrell, who was standing behind Harry and watching him from the shadows.

The outstretched hand paused for a moment.

Tierra quickly pushed Harry and Ron past Malfoy.

"This must be a flying broom!" Malfoy guessed at the shape of the package with just one glance and exclaimed excitedly, "You're going to get punished, Potter! First-year students aren't allowed to bring brooms to school! I'm going to tell Professor McGonagall! Potter, you've broken the rules!"

Hearing Malfoy's shout from behind, Tyella, Harry, and Ron exchanged glances, each of the three young wizards barely suppressing a laugh. "This isn't some old-fashioned flying broomstick," Ron blurted out first, "This is... um..."

It seemed that Tyrell reacted quickly, covering Ron's mouth before he could speak, then with one arm around Ron and the other holding Harry, she quickly walked up the stairs.

“Really, I really should thank Malfoy.” Harry said with a laugh when they reached the top of the marble staircase and could no longer see Malfoy and his two little henchmen. “If he hadn’t stolen Neville’s glass marble, I wouldn’t have been able to ride my broomstick to retrieve it. If I hadn’t ridden my broomstick to retrieve it, Professor McGonagall wouldn’t have caught me. And if Professor McGonagall hadn’t caught me, I wouldn’t have made it onto the team…”

"So you think this is a reward for breaking the school rules?" A slightly angry voice came from behind the three of them.

Hermione strode upstairs, looking at the package in Harry's hand with displeasure.

“I thought you weren’t going to talk to us anymore,” Harry said.

“Yeah, let’s not talk about it now,” Ron said. “It makes us feel very comfortable.”

"Hmph~" Hermione gave the three of them a cold look, especially glancing at Tyella, before striding away with her nose held high.

“Seriously, bro,” Ron nudged Tyella with his elbow, “I don’t believe you if you say Hermione isn’t interested in you.”

Harry, who was standing next to him, also perked up his ears.

“My mind is only on studying,” Tiera said, rolling her eyes as she thought to herself, “Go ahead and insult her now, you’ll regret it after you get married.”

Although he and Harry were separated by Snape in Potions class, they would still habitually sit together in other classes.

Tyrell noticed that Harry had difficulty concentrating on the lesson, glancing at the clock on the classroom wall one moment and fidgeting to adjust his posture the next.

Harry's thoughts must have already drifted back to his dorm, where his new flying broom was lying under his bed.

The time finally came to seven o'clock...

To be precise, it was 6:40. Harry only ate two bites of food before leaving the castle and heading to the Quidditch pitch.

Tierra also came.

After all, Harry is his sugar daddy, so this is a great opportunity to win his favor.

He also wanted to test the effect of the tranquilizer in Quidditch.

According to George and Fred, although such potions are forbidden in Quidditch, the intensity of the game means that if only a small amount is consumed, the potions will be quickly depleted in the wizard's body.

Even afterward, it couldn't be detected using a testing spell.

Therefore, drinking small amounts of these concentration-enhancing drugs is an unspoken rule in Quidditch matches.

Not to mention some formal Quidditch teams, even the Quidditch teams of the four Hogwarts houses would have a so-called "medical assistant".

That is, an apothecary who specializes in preparing magical potions.

The Gryffindor apothecary was originally to be a seventh-year student, Bobby Burns, a short wizard with bushy hair.

However, since he has now graduated and is an intern at Slug and Giggs Pharmacy, Captain Wood is temporarily filling in for him.

After learning from the Weasley twins that among the first-year wizards, besides the genius Seeker Harry Potter, there was also a genius potionist—Tierra Witch—who was able to concoct a Tranquilizing Potion after only one failure in her first year, Oliver Wood recruited Tierra into Gryffindor's Quidditch team.

“We’re sure to win the Academy Cup this year,” Oliver Wood, a tall, thin boy with soft, light brown hair, said, patting Tierra on the shoulder.
