The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

"Let's go!" Tom led the two confused people to the fireplace. At this time, Ron still couldn't believe it: the school professor would actually take them out of the school to go on an adventure!

Tom had the courage to take on this task because he had something to rely on. He brought his alchemy doll [Senior] with him. The transformed senior can use more comprehensive magic. With this doll, Tom can deal with any danger he encounters.

Tom picked up a small silver jar from the top of the fireplace, containing some sparkling powder. These powders are called Floo powder. You only need to sprinkle them into the fire, and then clearly speak the name of the place you want to go to, and you can take the Floo network to the place.

When the first green flame rose, Tom's mission of "slaying the demons on horseback" was also updated.

[Mission: Kill the Demons on Horseback (Prologue) The first act begins

Mission goal: "Work with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley to investigate the luxury train attack." Your top priority is to go to London together and find the key to the investigation.

Mission reward: 20 magic stones, qualifications for the second act of the mission]

This is the first time that Tom's system has released such a series of tasks. The rewards in this prologue and the first act seem a bit useless, but after all, it is just the beginning of the task, and the difficulty of completing it is also low. It is almost equivalent to giving away magic stones for free. The highlight of the task is the qualification to start the second act.

"Diagon Alley!" Ron was the first to set off. He picked up a handful of sparkling powder from the jar and threw the powder into the fire. The flame suddenly turned green. Ron stood in and shouted. "Diagon Alley", the next second he was gone.

Harry followed him, and this time he made no mistakes. Tom heard clearly that he called "Diagon Alley" and not some other weird place name. Tom stood at the end and waited for the two of them to disappear, then imitated Harry and the others and made the same movements.

It's funny to say that the person who seems to be the most confident among the three is the rookie who is experiencing the Floo Network for the first time: this is Tom's first time using the Floo Network.

After he threw the floo powder in, he stepped into the flames. There was no burning or stinging from the flame, only a warm feeling, like lying on an electric blanket in winter, and a little tingling.

"Diagon Alley!"

His body spun rapidly, and a deafening whistling sound came from his ears. This feeling made him a little dizzy, and a series of afterimages of furnace doors flashed vaguely. Finally, he stopped and rushed out of a fireplace door. go out.

Tom stumbled forward two steps and almost fell down. When he stood up, he realized that he was in the Leaky Cauldron, with Harry and Ron standing in front of him.

"Luo——"

Ron only made the first sound before Tom covered his mouth. Then Tom quickly took out a mask and put it on, completely covering his face. In addition, he had dyed his blond hair black before, so it was difficult for strangers to tell that this was the famous Lockhart.

It was Saturday night, and the Leaky Cauldron was bustling with people. The appearance of Tom and the three of them attracted a little attention, but the drinkers only looked back and looked away.

Tom led the two of them out of the bar door.

"Are you crazy? Are you shouting my name in public for fear that others won't find us?" he said to Ron. Tom's current identity is the traffic star Lockhart. If someone discovers this, the consequences will be quite serious. They will definitely be surrounded by enthusiastic fans after hearing the news. At this time, Tom has no big problem - it's the weekend, what's wrong with the professor going out to visit Diagon Alley? But Harry and Ron had more fun.

The two of them were still students, and after being caught sneaking out of Hogwarts, they were given at least a week of confinement, plus a howling letter.

Ron also reacted, feeling frightened in his heart. He was very lucky now. Fortunately, Professor Lockhart had quick eyesight and quick hands.

Outside the Leaky Cauldron was a deserted street with no pedestrians at all. Tom glanced back at Harry and Ron. They were both wearing civilian clothes, not wizard robes. Although the two people's clothes are not fashionable, they are not inconsistent with each other. On the contrary, he was wearing robes and was incompatible with the Muggle world.

But it's not a big problem. Tom took Lockhart's wand and pointed it at himself, and the wizard's robe automatically transformed into a fitted gray suit. Lockhart's wizard robes have all kinds of spells solidified on them, including practical little magics like automatic disguise.

"Professor, shall we start investigating next?" Ron couldn't wait any longer.

"No, let's find a place to live first." Tom looked at the completely dark sky and decided to find a place to live first. Tom and the others turned out of the street where the Leaky Cauldron was located and came to the busy commercial streets of London.

Tom stopped a taxi and asked Harry and Ron to sit in the back seat, while he sat in the front passenger seat. Tom was wearing a handmade suit made of high-end fabrics, and Harry and Ron were two teenagers wearing jeans and pullovers. The three of them were quite suitable when worn alone, but when put together, they had an indescribable weirdness.

This also made the driver couldn't help but look at them a few more times.

"Please take us to the nearest hotel. The higher the star rating, the better." Tom said to the driver. Although it feels a bit weird, there are so many sexy tricks of rich people in Britain that the taxi driver doesn't care. Pressing the accelerator to the bottom, thick smoke spurted out from the exhaust hole, and the taxi started to speed up.

Tom and the others were soon brought to a hotel street. Along the way, Tom chatted with the driver from time to time - he wanted to find out if there were any supernatural stories. Because according to the details he saw in his memory, he knew that what Evans experienced happened to happen on a train from London not long ago.

Taxi drivers are well-informed people, and you might get surprises from them. Even if he doesn't know, there's nothing to lose - he has a standard mentality of hitting three shots without a date, and he can still chat and relieve his boredom along the way.

Taxi drivers from all over the world like to chat, and Tom’s driver is no exception.

But they quickly digressed.

"Our drivers also have a circle of people, and they are very well-informed - even better than those big shots in Downing Street." The middle-aged and fat driver said with a big belly and patted the steering wheel proudly.

"Really?" Tom didn't believe it. How come all taxi drivers in capital cities in the world have the same moral character? Those who talked about national affairs were sound and logical, with noses and eyes, but the predictions turned out to be even less reliable than those of the big Vs on Zhihu.
