American Comics: Starting with Muggle Wizards

"Hi...hello, may I sit here?"

Hermione was somewhat disgusted; this guy's wizard robes were so tattered they looked like secondhand, and he reeked of a stench as if he hadn't showered in days.

But being kind-hearted, she eventually agreed.

"Of course, you can sit across from me!"

Harvey, caught in the crossfire, gave Hermione a look that seemed to say, "Are you kidding me?"

Hermione, however, flashed a sweet smile that said, "It's okay as long as they can't sit next to me."

Is this girl heartless?

Helpless, Harvey had no choice but to move further into the carriage seat and use his wand to cast a triple spell on the poor fellow.

"Clean up!"

"Recover as before!"

"Resuscitate quickly!"

As soon as Harvey finished speaking, the little guy's old and tattered wizard clothes became clean and new, and even the holes in his trousers were automatically sewn up.

"Cool! This is... magic? You can use magic?"

Harvey wouldn't have been so kind as to help if this guy weren't the protagonist of this world.

He greeted him in a cold tone.

Harvey Ferguson, from a Muggle family.

I belatedly discovered that even the damaged lenses of my glasses had become new, and my weak body had become full of energy.

The little guy, who rarely felt the kindness of strangers, enthusiastically introduced himself.

"Thank you for your help. It's a pleasure to meet you, Harvey. My name is Harry Potter, and I also come from a Muggle family!"

“Harry Potter?” Hermione exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes...that's my name, is there a problem?" Harry Potter's tone suddenly became tense, thinking that he had somehow upset his new friend.

Hermione stared at him in astonishment: "You're the boy who survived the ordeal, the savior who saved the world at just seven months old?"

“I’ve seen your name in many magic books. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Hermione Granger, and I also come from a Muggle family.”

Hermione's sudden enthusiasm made Harry Potter feel a little uncomfortable.

But thinking about it, it's understandable. For Hermione, this was a character who only appeared in books, and she never expected to meet him in real life.

"Can you tell me about your heroic experience of defeating the mysterious man and saving the world?"

Faced with Hermione's adoring gaze, Harry Potter awkwardly replied, "I forgot."

Adoration is often the beginning of a girl falling in love.

Feeling that Hermione was about to be kidnapped if he didn't speak up, Harvey quickly interjected, "Harry was just a baby back then, how could he possibly remember anything?"

Chapter 21 The Legend of the Deathly Trinity

“That’s true.” Hermione’s interest waned considerably, but she still asked a series of questions out of curiosity:

"Harry, don't you have any adult wizards in your family? You looked terrible just now. Do your parents not like you?"

At this point, Hermione suddenly realized something and answered herself, "Oh, right, the book says your parents were killed by a mysterious person..."

"If you can't speak properly, then speak less!" Harvey said speechlessly.

Isn't this like rubbing salt into someone's wounds?

Hermione realized her mistake and quickly apologized to Harry, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up your parents."

A little bewildered by Hermione's barrage of questions, Harry Potter stammered, "Oh, it's okay."

"I'm currently staying at my aunt's house, and the living conditions are pretty good."

When Harry Potter said this, Harvey could clearly see that he was not being sincere.

"Harry, you've been to Gringotts, haven't you?"

Harry Potter, puzzled, replied, "Of course I've been there."

Harvey continued, "As a long-established magical family in the wizarding world, the Potter family must have a great deal of wealth stored in Gringotts' vaults."

"If you just take out a little bit to deal with your aunt and uncle, your living conditions will improve several times over."

Harry Potter shook his head with a troubled expression: "I already knew that my parents had left a large inheritance in Gringotts when Hagrid took me to buy my school supplies."

"But this inheritance is my capital for living in the magical world in the future, and I don't want to misappropriate it."

Upon hearing this, Harvey realized that Harry Potter had absolutely no idea about the prices in the wizarding world.

Do you know the cost of living for an ordinary wizard in the wizarding world?

Harry Potter shook his head.

"About ten Galleons a month is enough for a wizard to live a relatively comfortable life in the wizarding world."

“Oh…” Harry Potter said, bewildered.

Harvey continued, "You should know roughly how much wealth is in the family vault, right?"

Harry Potter thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "I haven't taken a detailed count, but the family vault has many magical objects, books, jewelry... piled up like a small mountain."

"But the vault goblin guard at the time told me that there were about 20,000 Galleons in the vault."

"Hiss..." Even Hermione, who had little concept of money, couldn't help but gasp when she heard this outrageous number.

Harvey added quietly, "Do you know how many Galleons Hermione's parents prepared for her as funds for her entire six-year Hogwarts education?"

Harry Potter was completely bewildered. "How much?"

Harvey said with a hint of envy, "Only one thousand Galleons."

Upon hearing this, even Harry Potter, who was not particularly sensitive to money, understood how enormous a fortune 20,000 Galleons was.

At that moment, Harvey's eyes gleamed with Galleons, and he looked at Harry as if he had discovered a sucker.

"So, 20,000 Galleons is enough for you to squander for the rest of your life."

"Your parents have left you such a huge inheritance, and you're just sitting there unaware of it. What a waste!"

Harry Potter said with mixed feelings, "I would rather not have this inheritance and see my parents in return."

Harvey thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Do you know that the magical world possesses resurrection magic?"

Hermione had been planning to take a copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard from her suitcase, but when she heard about the resurrection spell, she immediately stopped.

"Resurrection magic?"

Hermione and Harry Potter exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Seeing that he had piqued their curiosity, Harvey deliberately spoke slowly:

"This is one of the forbidden spells in the magical world, and the price required to resurrect a person is something most wizards cannot afford."

Harry Potter asked urgently, "What price? I'll give you everything I have!"

Harvey gestured for him to calm down and explained, "Legend has it that the three Peverell brothers used magic to build a bridge when they were crossing the river."

"When they reached the middle of the bridge, they were lucky enough to encounter death."

"Death declared that the three brothers could ask him for one thing."

"The eldest brother was a warlike man. He asked for the most powerful magic wand in the world, so Death made a magic wand from elderberry by the river for him."

"The second son was an arrogant man. He wanted the ability to resurrect the dead, so Death picked up a stone from the shore and gave it to him. That is the Resurrection Stone."

"The third brother was the smartest and most humble person. He hoped that Death could not find him, so Death reluctantly gave him his invisibility cloak."

Harry Potter couldn't help but interrupt, "So, finding the Resurrection Stone will bring my parents back to life?"

“No, it’s not that simple.” Harvey’s expression was serious.

“Harry, you must remember that every gift in this world comes with a price marked in fate.”

"The aftermath of the Peverell brothers also confirms this statement."

"When the boss got into a fight at the tavern, he showed off his magic wand, which was then stolen and he was killed. Death took his life."

"The second brother used the resurrection stone to recall the soul of the girl he loved, but he was tormented because the girl did not belong to the human world. In the end, he committed suicide, and Death took his life."

"Only the third son wore the cloak of invisibility until the end of his life, when he took it off and passed it on to his son. Then he died peacefully in his sleep. Death did not take his life, but it did take his soul."

"From then on, these three Deathly Hallows—the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Invisibility Cloak—became legendary treasures in the magical world."

"Many people covet them, believing that possessing these three holy artifacts will make them the master of death."

Harry Potter frowned as he listened, a crucial question flashing through his mind. He pressed on, "The Resurrection Stone can only recall souls? It can't truly resurrect the dead?"

Harvey chuckled and explained, "In fact, throughout the entire history of the magical world, no one has ever successfully resurrected the dead."

"Even wizards who have come into contact with this field seem to be cursed, and often die unexpectedly."

"Therefore, the resurrected dead are also referred to by wizards as an untouchable taboo area."

"But I know of a kind of magic that, under certain conditions, can create flesh and blood bodies for homeless souls."

"Therefore, I have a conjecture."

"If we use the Resurrection Stone to recall the souls of the dead and recreate a physical body, we might be able to truly achieve the miracle of resurrecting the dead."

After hearing this, Harry Potter thought Harvey's idea was incredibly audacious.

"If this hypothesis comes true, does it mean that my parents can be resurrected?"

Harvey nodded and said, "Of course, but so far, this is just an immature idea in my mind."

"Verifying this hypothesis is far beyond the capabilities of young wizards like us."

"After all, the start-up capital required for any magical research is not a small amount."

"There is also the resurrection stone, which has only appeared in legends and whose whereabouts are so elusive that it is difficult to find."
