Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

The house definitely cannot be bought in Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade is the ideal choice.

If you want to pass yourself off as an adult, the only thing you can do is master the art of human transformation or use Polyjuice Potion.

But Sainz has neither of these two things.

You can collect some polyjuice decoction from the market.

But just as he had worried before, he really didn't have the courage to try the medicines circulating on the market, especially those that were complicated and time-consuming to brew.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

The reason why the Potions Master is valuable is because people have no confidence in the potions brewed by ordinary people.

Furthermore, dangerous goods such as Polyjuice Potion have always been the focus of supervision by the Ministry of Magic, and the possibility of obtaining them through formal channels is very small.

It is even harder to believe what comes out of the black market.

I had originally planned to learn how to cast invisibility during this holiday, borrow "Powerful Potion" from the school's restricted book section next semester, and solve the housing problem during the Christmas holiday in my second year.

However, judging from the current research progress, this idea is a bit too optimistic.

The research environment of the Leaky Cauldron severely restricted his research progress.

If it doesn't work, you can only implement alternative plans.

A wizard always has his alternatives, doesn't he!

Sainz's alternative is a bit illegal.

The specific plan was to hide in Knockturn Alley with his own substitute invisibility spell, control a dark wizard with the Imperius Curse when he was not paying attention, and then purchase the Polyjuice Potion under the identity of this dark wizard.

As for the safety of the polyjuice potion, I also troubled this dark wizard to test it.

But there are so many safety risks involved that he was a little hesitant.

For example, the Disillusionment Curse was seen through, someone dodged the Imperius Curse when it was used, the Imperius Curse was successfully cast but was resisted and disappeared, the Imperius Curse failed when testing the Polyjuice Potion, and so on.

Compared to a harmless Hufflepuff freshman like myself, the dark wizards hanging out in Knockturn Alley might have some partial knowledge, but they were definitely real fighters who often walked on the edge of battle. Anything could happen when facing them.

Have to prevent!

It was another day without any progress in the study of invisibility. Sainz looked at the impatient eyes in the mirror and said to himself, "I've decided. Sometimes you have to be more or less adventurous! I've decided. Let's take action tomorrow!"

The next morning, while having breakfast, Sainz complained in his heart that the English breakfast at the Leaky Cauldron was really hard to swallow. He couldn't help but think of the kitchen at Hogwarts and his personal assistant.

"If Conte were here, how could he let me eat this?!"

He suddenly jumped up, "Yes! Conte!"

Sainz found himself falling into a rut again!!!

Perhaps it was because he had always taken care of himself and done everything by himself in both his past and present lives, so until now, he was still not used to the existence of a housekeeper!

He felt that he was so stupid that he had foolishly made a plan A and also prepared a plan B!

These things can obviously be left to Conte!

"Haha... Speed... Speed, where have you been, kid? Come quickly, I need your help, help me deliver a letter to Hogwarts!

Eh? No, you should take the bus with me to Hogsmeade first, and then deliver the letter..."

All of Sainz's depression was swept away!

"We have to go to Gringotts first!"

Half an hour later, Sainz met Conte at the entrance of Hogsmeade village.

"Mr. Autumn, I'm so glad to see you. Conte brought you some pork elbows in soy sauce. You must have suffered a lot during your days of wandering!"

"..."

Thanks to Conte, he felt comforted.

"Thank you, Conte. I haven't seen you for more than two weeks. Are you okay?"

"Thank you for your concern, sir! Conte has checked on your plants every day for you, and they are growing well."

"I never doubted that. Thank you for your hard work, Conte! I have another thing to trouble you with today."

"At your service, sir!"

"Very good, take this bag." Sainz handed his seamless stretch bag to Conte.

"Here is my power of attorney, and I need you to help me buy a house in Hogsmeade.

The house should not be too close to the village center and should not be too luxurious. If conditions permit, a larger one should be chosen, and one with a basement would be even better.

You can handle the specific situation as appropriate. If the property is currently listed for sale, that would be the best. If not, you can ask if there is anyone willing to sell it. You can offer an appropriate premium, but you don't need to report to me if the property is within 20% of the market price.

You can sign the magic contract directly with the other party. If you need my signature, I need you to bring the magic contract to me with the other party's consent. You know, it is not convenient for me to come forward at this stage."

"Conte will definitely do it for you, sir!" She seemed to be moved by Sainz's trust again, and her little body was trembling all the time.

"Thank you, Conte, I never doubted that."

"Have a nice day then, Conte, bye for now."

"Thank you, Conte, do you know how to find me?

How about this, for now, let Speed ​​go to the Hogwarts Owl Tower. If he can't find me, you can ask him to help deliver the letter.

After this evening, you can meet me at the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley."

After listening to this, Conte nodded and disappeared with a crackling sound.

Now that we are in Hogsmeade, it would be a bit unreasonable not to take a look around.

As the only purely wizarding village in the UK, Hogsmeade is naturally different from commercial streets like Diagon Alley.

This wizarding village was built not much later than Hogwarts, so you can see buildings of all sizes from all ages in the village. The closer you get to the center, the older the architectural style, the closer to the medieval style, and the smaller it appears.

Of course, one cannot just judge a wizard's residence by its appearance. He did not believe that the wizards would really follow the instructions of the Ministry of Magic and would not use the Traceless Extension Charm without permission.

Sainz chose to settle down on the outskirts of the village for two reasons. One was that he didn't want it to be too noisy, and the other was that the village was full of houses with historical heritage, and the owners were much less likely to sell them.

Coming from the rugged and narrow streets to the relatively wide central avenue, he saw several buildings that appeared in the original trajectory.

Devis-Bans shop that sells and repairs magical equipment.

The little wizard's favorite Honeydukes candy store.

One of the few large chain stores in the wizarding world - Fengya Wizard Clothing Store.

Wenrenju Feather Pen Store specializes in stationery business.

Zuo Ke's Joke Shop was idolized by the twins and eventually surpassed.

Mrs Puddifoot's Tea Shop was a steamy, cramped place.

The Three Broomsticks bar is run by Ms. Rosmerta, who Ron has a crush on.

The Pig's Head Bar, run by Old Dengtou's younger brother, Another Old Dengtou, is characterized by a bloody pig's head that has been chopped off on its sign.

There is also the Hogsmeade Post Office, where of course the couriers are all owls.
