Harry Potter: I started signing in from Diagon Alley

The Unforgivable Curse is of course very strong, but only if Eric can keep himself out of trouble after using it.

Eric hadn't forgotten that Dumbledore was still at Hogwarts.

He was not so arrogant that he thought he was powerful because of two bursts of magic that shocked the people around him, yet he dared to use the Unforgivable Curse blatantly under the nose of the most powerful wizard in the world.

As early as when he received this task, Eric had already thought about the reward he wanted to choose.

"System, I want to choose a reward—the Patronus Charm."

[Confirmed, task reward: Patronus Curse.The host's proficiency with the Patronus Charm has increased. 】

Chapter 9 Old Tom's Responsibility

As the sound of the system fell, Eric felt a light feeling suddenly cover his whole body.

Details about the Patronus Charm appeared in Eric's mind.

Spells, spell-casting gestures, and the experience summed up by many wizards...

Eric now fully understood how the Patronus Charm worked.

This lightness lasted for a while, making Eric feel like his mind had never been so active.

He knew that he had fully learned the Patronus Charm.

While Eric learned about the Patronus Charm, he also learned that it is a very difficult spell.

At least, this spell is never taught in the current curriculum at Hogwarts.

On the one hand, it is because the difficulty of this spell is really high.

In order to perfectly release the Patronus Charm, there are requirements for the wizard's own magic power.

This spell also requires the wizard to provide a sufficiently strong happy emotion when casting the spell.

Only by satisfying these two points can it be possible to successfully release the Patronus Charm.

These two requirements stump most people.

A wizard whose magic power is too weak can't summon the Patronus even if he can remember the spell.

In the original book, Harry Potter also learned the Patronus Charm in the third grade.

This was because Harry Potter urgently needed to learn a spell to ward off dementors.

Otherwise, he might not have had the chance to learn about the Patronus Charm at all.

Many people look down on Harry Potter's level of magic because of this.

He even dubbed Harry Potter a humanoid disarm spell releaser.

Because no matter what kind of combat environment he encounters, he will choose the same "kill you weapon" to deal with it.

But Eric, who now understands the Patronus Charm, understands that this is far from the case.

Compared with his classmates, Harry Potter can be called a very good wizard in releasing spells.

At least Harry Potter's spellcasting experience ranks among the top students in the school.

When fighting, everyone definitely tends to choose the spell they are most familiar with.

Harry Potter's disarming spell is very high-level, and if it really works, why not use it?

Even so, Harry Potter, who has a talent for casting spells, had to study for almost a semester before he was able to release the Patronus.

Another reason why the Patronus Charm is not known to most people is that its applications are really limited.

The greatest usefulness of this spell is undoubtedly that this spell can resist dementors.

This is a spell built purely out of joy, and it is an absolute natural enemy for dementors.

Dementors can absorb the positive emotions of wizards, but they can't do anything about the spells released by wizards.

As a result, many adult wizards have never even heard of this spell.

Only some wizards who specialize in communicating with dementors will specifically learn this spell.

Another major use of the Patronus Charm is to convey messages.

These Erics all know that for him, having these two functions is enough.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will have the opportunity to face many dementors in the next school year.

……

"Merlin! Thank you so much!"

Just as Eric was meditating, an excited voice woke him up from his thoughts.

Eric turned his head and saw that it was Merkel, the owner of Lihen Bookstore.

Merkel is now covered in dust, his clothes are wrinkled, and his face is flushed. On his face, he can still vaguely see the traces of the monster book attack just now.

He completely ignored his injuries at this time, quickly got up from the ground, rushed to Eric's side, and thanked Eric loudly.

After the chaos just now, none of the wizards around dared to approach Eric.

But Merkel is different.

For him, Eric's appearance was tantamount to a savior from heaven.

He was already on the verge of despair.

He and the staff of the bookstore had absolutely no ability to control the new batch of monster books.

If it wasn't for Eric, I'm afraid he would lose everything this time.

You have to pay for your pants.

Now because of Eric, he has saved at least half of the monster books.

As he hurried to Eric's side, he ordered the equally stunned employees around him to quickly gather up these monster books.

He didn't want to experience another monster book riot.

"These damn monster books! Oh my god, if you weren't here..."

Eric waved his hand to interrupt Merkel's excited words, and said with a smile: "Mr. Merkel, I just tried it once. To be honest, before that, I didn't know what the consequences would be. "

"No! Anyway, you really helped me a lot." Merkel said without stopping, "That's right! I don't know your name yet, Mr. Little."

Eric smiled and said, "I'm Eric Clapton, a freshman at Hogwarts this year."

As soon as Eric finished speaking, the surroundings instantly became quiet.

In addition to Merkel, other wizards are of course always paying attention to the conversations between Eric and Merkel.

Hearing Eric reveal his identity at this time, knowing that he is actually a young wizard who has not yet entered school, how could it not be shocking.

A kid who didn't go to school almost blew up Diagon Alley just now!

Hearing Eric's answer, Merkel wanted to say something more, and a voice said from the side: "Gentlemen! Can we find a hidden place to talk about it, I don't want the Ministry of Magic to deal with Aurors .”

Eric and Merkel turned their heads to look at the same time. Old Tom squeezed an old face, bitter, and the whole person looked equally embarrassed, struggling to speak.

Diagon Alley is the business district with the highest concentration of people in the whole of the UK.

With so much going on in Diagon Alley, the Aurors must be on their way by now.

After saying this, Old Tom was about to leave, but when he saw Eric still standing there without moving, he stopped quickly out of curiosity.

What else do you want to do?

Let’s go, ancestor!

As the only witness to two magic bursts, Old Tom felt nervous when he saw Eric looking thoughtful.

Don't do it a third time, he really can't stand it.

"If I cause such big trouble, won't the Ministry of Magic come looking for me?"

Eric thought for a while and asked.

Regarding this question, Old Tom had been prepared for a long time, he sighed, and said: "No one wants to believe that a child who doesn't even have a wand can actively release such a powerful magic. Boy, it's normal to not be able to control your magical gifts, we just have to say the same to the Aurors."

"If you really want to be held responsible, it is not your responsibility, but the responsibility of your magical guardian."

"In other words, it's my responsibility."

When Old Tom said this, the expression on his face became even more bitter, as if he had drunk a bottle of compound soup.

Chapter 10 Book of Spells

The concept of subject expressed by Old Tom is clear.

There is currently no law in the wizarding world that is specifically designed to target young wizards like Eric who have not yet entered school.

For students who have already entered the magic school and started to study, there are very strict regulations. Before graduation, students are not allowed to use magic after leaving the school.

But the restrictions on little wizards who haven't officially enrolled, such as Eric now, are really gone.

In fact, little wizards who have awakened their magical talents make all kinds of troubles before going to school. This happens quite a lot every year.

Emotions are an important part of delivering magic.

It is normal for children to be emotionally unstable.

Laugh if you like it, make trouble if you are not happy, there is no difference between wizards and Muggles in this regard.

Bear kids are everywhere.

If we continue to pursue these little wizards who caused trouble one by one, it will be endless.

So the Ministry of Magic has a conventional way of dealing with this situation, which is - don't care.

There is no way to control it at all.

Besides, the magic power of ordinary little wizards is very weak, and even if they are sincere and evil, they will not be able to cause much trouble.

Voldemort, who was able to use magic freely at a young age and unreservedly unleashes malice on those around him, is after all an extreme case.

The most serious consequence of this incident was that the people from the Ministry of Magic and the professors from Hogwarts came to him directly to talk to him.

But as long as Eric insisted that he was unintentional, there would be no responsibility whatsoever.
