Capítulo 1883: Chapter 1037: The Title of Genius (Part 2)
It was daytime, and there weren’t many guests in the pub, yet there was a feeling of commotion, as everyone seemed to be talking all at once.
“Oh, the Boy Who Lived!”
“Is it him?”
“Harry Potter!”
“Look, that lightning scar, that’s the proof.”
“My gosh.”
“…”
At this moment, the pub’s guests were gathered around a burly, larger-than-life man over three meters tall, chattering excitedly.
Their voices carried a note of amazement, mixed with a hint of roller-coaster-like fear.
Someone unaware might subconsciously assume that this giant man was Harry Potter they were talking about.
However, upon closer inspection, one could still see a frail boy standing beside the giant’s leg, partially obscured by the crowd.
The boy wore a pair of oversized glasses, and his clothes appeared somewhat shabby, his hair a bit greasy, and he appeared somewhat scared being surrounded by people.
The fringe on his forehead was lifted by his own hand, seemingly to satisfy the onlookers’ curiosity, revealing a lightning-shaped scar.
This was indeed the Savior of the Wizard World, the Boy Who Lived, the one who caused Voldemort’s downfall—Harry Potter…
“What are you all doing?”
Professor McGonagall also heard the commotion and sensed Harry’s reluctance, then spoke up with a dignified tone, immediately drawing Hagrid’s and others’ attention.
“Oh, it’s Professor McGonagall.”
“Good morning, Professor McGonagall.”
“Hello, Professor McGonagall.”
“…”
As a longstanding member of Hogwarts, many people here were once her students. Her slight frown and words quickly subdued the scene, coming to Harry Potter’s rescue.
By natural circumstances, Tao Yu had no special arrangements, and this encounter was indeed coincidental.
Professor McGonagall had delayed for a few days to observe Tao Yu, and Hagrid also took extra time to find Harry, which led to their timely meeting.
Upon seeing Harry Potter’s fame, Tao Yu’s eyes slightly brightened.
Voldemort had previously garnered such high acclaim, and it was Harry Potter who overshadowed him. Doing the same with Voldemort again seemed quite effective.
But convincing everyone about Voldemort’s revival would yield the best result.
Or perhaps, should he seize the role of the Dark Lord?
…
“Oh, thank you, Professor McGonagall, for bailing me out. I’m still not good at handling these situations,”
Hagrid grinned at McGonagall, his smile creating an approachable demeanor despite his over three-meter height and thick beard, which otherwise gave an impression of intimidation.
His voice and small gestures combined to show an endearing clumsiness.
While greeting McGonagall, he also waved his fan-sized hand towards Tao Yu.
“This one’s a little wizard this year too, right? Hello, I’m the groundskeeper of Hogwarts, Hagrid.”
“Hello, Hagrid.”
Hagrid then looked at the curious Harry, who was slightly uneasy due to Tao Yu’s appearance, saying,
“Harry, this one is likely a little wizard from the Muggle World like you, needing guidance from teachers.”
The initially uneasy Harry’s eyes brightened upon hearing Tao Yu’s words,
“Are you also from the ordinary world… the Muggle World?”
“Yes, hello, my name is Tao Yu.”
“I’m Harry Potter.”
“Oh, I’ve heard that name before; they all called you the Savior.”
“I’m a bit troubled by it. It seems like an evil wizard died because of me when I was just born,”
Harry sighed at this moment, disliking such attention. Moreover, it related to his deceased parents, and others viewing the scar also unveiled the scar on his own heart.
He hadn’t had a good life at his uncle’s house since childhood.
“It’s good for the two new classmates to get to know each other in advance; you might have some things in common,”
Professor McGonagall nodded.
Thus, the group of four proceeded to the small courtyard behind the pub. Professor McGonagall tapped the wall with a magic wand, causing the bricks to move and revealing a street behind filled with magical charm.
Stores such as the Gringotts, Li Hen Bookstore, Olivander’s Wand Shop, Prophet Daily, all closely connected with the Magic World, appeared here.
It truly was the core commercial street of the British Magic World.
However, from Diagon Alley, one could indeed notice that the overall number of wizards in the United Kingdom was not many compared to some random commercial streets.
What stood out more was the mysterious atmosphere of the Wizard World.
“Let’s go to Gringotts first, without money we can’t do anything,”
Hagrid proposed.
Tao Yu glanced at Hagrid, observing the ups and downs in his emotions, deducing that he still had an important task at Gringotts.
“Is the Magic Stone still at Gringotts? With the initial sightings of anomalies, the Magic World should be the first to notice the issue, and they must realize the importance of gold. As the only Magic Stone presently in the Magic World, leaving it unattended just shows how lax this makeshift group really is…”
Tao Yu shook his head secretly, noting that descriptions in the original also portrayed the Ministry of Magic as rather makeshift.
Perhaps this was partly because the anomalies were just beginning, without causing much trouble yet.
In truth, the Wizard World itself harbors numerous mysterious matters, and the appearance of anomalies is just one of many.
