Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 218 Harry's Fantastic Birthday

1991.7.31. Diagon Alley.

"Hagrid, can I go and have a look in that shop now?"

After buying all the items on the list, Harry Potter still couldn't help turning his eyes to the "Lake Chess Experience Store" in front of him.

Whether it's the eye-catching billboard, the familiar figure of Pikachu, or the "monster card" mentioned by the wizards around him from time to time, Harry is full of curiosity about this store.

And he still remembered that the name of his favorite comic magazine was Lake Manga. These two, couldn't they really be the same Lake, right?

"Well, yes, of course, although I'm not interested in those monster cards. These cards are really too small, and those monsters are not cute. But the wine inside is quite delicious..." Hagrid broke Thoughtlessly, he led Harry towards this magical shop.

"Welcome to the Lake experience store. I'm Mira, master. This is your first visit. Do you need my help?"

As soon as Harry entered the shop, he was stopped by a white fox standing and talking.

Wait, talking fox! ?

Harry took a step back in shock.

"Don't be afraid, Harry, this is the fox of the Lake family, you will see it often in the future! By the way, you still need to buy a Facebook, because I don't use it often, and I forgot that you don't have this thing yet , I should probably give you a copy."

Hagrid patted his forehead and said apologetically, "There are so many new things that the Lake family has come up with in recent years, it makes me a little dizzy."

"Hagrid, what is this? A magical creature?" Harry didn't hear Hagrid's thoughts clearly, he tugged on Hagrid's sleeve, pointed to the little fox in front of him and asked.

"It's Mira! Oh, yes, you don't know, it's from a painting."

"painting?"

"Yes, the floor you are stepping on is actually a huge picture frame. Look around, these little foxes are all painted." Hagrid motioned Harry to look around, and then Harry found that there were many identical little foxes. Foxes are running around in this store.

"Actually, I was also very surprised when I came last time. The things in Lake's house are always so amazing. If you like, you can bring this little fox with you. You can ask it any questions. Anyway, this service is free in the store. . . ”

"Are you saying that this talking fox is actually a painting?!" Harry said in surprise, he squatted down cautiously and asked the little fox in front of him: "Hello... Mira, may I touch you?"

"Of course you can~" The little fox came to Harry's side bouncing around, and Harry reached out and touched it, wow~ It's so fluffy and comfortable!
Is this really a painting! ?Isn't it a real fox! ? !

Harry tried to pick up the little fox, but Hagrid stopped him: "Hey, Harry, these foxes can't leave the ground, don't you hug it."

"Eh?"

"These pictures can't leave the frame, just like those monster cards." Hagrid didn't care if Harry understood or not.

"What is the monster card..."

"Do you want to buy monster cards? A new event will start tomorrow! [The Millennium Pharaoh] final battle! The new limited edition gold card [Osiris's Sky Dragon] will be on sale soon! There will also be a summer vacation card package event for purchasing ten consecutive cards Oh! More discounts are available at the Lake Chess Experience Store!"

"??????" Harry was stunned by the series of advertisements from the little fox in front of him before he could react. He stammered:
"What...what do you mean...huh...sorry, I haven't played monster cards before..."

"Oh! So it's a little wizard who just entered school!? I'm sorry, Mira was too reckless just now, please allow me to introduce you to our Pokemon cards."

The little fox looked experienced, and pulled Harry towards the elevator entrance.

Harry turned around and wanted to ask Hagrid for help, but Hagrid waved his hand at him and said, "Harry, it's okay, you can play here for an hour, and we have to leave after an hour, play cheer up."

Then Hagrid walked towards the bar next to him, and his loud voice could be heard from far away: "Hey! Norman, give me a glass of mead, oh! No, forget it, I can't drink, Bring me a cup of black tea, strong."

.........

On the other side, Harry, who had learned about the Pokemon Chronicles upstairs, returned to the first floor and was listening carefully to the little fox Mira explaining the rules of the Pokemon game.

"...Look, that's it, as long as the HP of the opponent's [Character Card] reaches zero, you win, isn't it very simple!"

Harry found himself attracted by this card game, the wizarding world has such a fun game!the most important is…

"Mira, how much does this Pikachu cost?"

Harry asked while grabbing the yellow mouse that was struggling in his hands. He didn't expect that he would meet a "live" Pikachu one day!

I knew that at home, what he envied most was that his cousin Dudley always had countless toys. He once wished so much to have a Pikachu doll, but in the end Dudley tore his doll into pieces and threw it into the trash There was no heap left for Harry either.

But now... he can have a talking and moving Pikachu!
"Eh? These cards are not for sale. If you want to own Pikachu cards, you need to go to the counter to buy card packs and open your own cards."

The little fox Mira pointed to the sales counter on the other side, and then enthusiastically sold:
"Now there is a new school season event, as long as you show your Hogwarts admission letter, you can enjoy a [-]% discount in all Lake chess and card experience stores!"

Harry wished he could go to the counter to pick up his own Pikachu now, but Harry, who had been afraid of poverty since he was a child, held back temporarily, and asked cautiously, "Mira, what is the price of this monster card."

"All monster card packs are priced at one silver Sickle per pack, and the normal card pack has five random monster cards. But since you are buying for the first time, it is recommended that you buy the basic card pack first, the basic card pack There are ten monster cards in each pack! But there will be no gold cards. In addition, there are monthly event card packs, season card packs, and gold card probability up card packs..."

Just like that, flickering, flickering, by the time Harry came to his senses, the dozen or so silver coins he had brought out from Gringotts had all been used up!
Harry woke up suddenly, in such a short time, he actually used up one Galleon!Opening a card pack is so cool!

"Master, your luck is really good. You actually got two rare gold cards. The probability of gold cards in the Millennium Artifact series is very low. Why don't you buy a few more packs while you're lucky?"

The little fox Mira wagged her big tail and encouraged her non-stop.

"This...next time...next time, I have run out of silver Sickles."

"Purchasing with Gold Galleons will also give you three card packs! In addition to your newborn discount, Master, you can buy 22 packs of monster cards with one Gold Galleon! It's a great discount!"

"..." Then why didn't you tell me earlier?Harry was just about to give this black-hearted little fox a hard slap, when suddenly he heard a somewhat familiar voice.

"Hey! Eden! What a coincidence, are you also shopping in Diagon Alley today?"

"Draco, long time no see."

It was that nasty boy in Madam Malkin's robe shop just now!
Harry turned his head, and sure enough, he saw the arrogant boy talking to another... presumably another boy.

Harry was standing not far from them, and could vaguely hear their conversation...

"Eden, are you here to buy school uniforms today?"

"No, I'm here to help my brother buy some magic materials."

"Oh? Has that amazing brother of yours researched something new?"

"Hey, I don't know very well, you know, I told you that my brother always likes to lock himself in his room to study magic, and he even locked himself in his room for a month this summer vacation! Hey , He didn’t tell me anything about his research, and I didn’t dare to ask.”

"Haha, after all, it's that [Genius Lake], you must introduce your brother to me if you have the chance, I've admired him for a long time!"

"Sure, sure, I will introduce you when school starts. My brother is a very easy-going person, and I think he will be very happy to meet you."

Harry didn't expect that boy with a bad fart to be able to speak normally, and Harry just heard them mention Lake?Is it the Lake from this experience store?

Harry was still thinking hard when he was suddenly startled by Hagrid's loud voice.

"Hey! Connor! You're here too!"

It was Hagrid who walked towards the two children with a smile all over his face. Did Hagrid know them?
But the handsome black-haired little boy denied Harry's guess.

"I'm sorry, but I think you've got the wrong person, Mr. Hagrid."

The delicate boy saluted Hagrid politely, and said with a smile, "I am Connor's younger brother, Eden Lake, I heard about you from Connor, Mr. Hagrid, you and my brother are Very good friend, I send my regards to you on his behalf."

"Oh? So you're not Connor? Oh, yes, you look a little smaller than Connor...but you two brothers really look alike, hahaha, sorry, I misidentified you."

Hagrid scratched his head and laughed, not paying attention to the fact that he had identified the wrong person, and then he saw Harry not far behind them:

"Hey! How are you, Harry, are you having a good time?" He said, walking towards Harry.

"Eden, why do you bother with this kind of person, this kind of servant you let him be... Eh? It's you, we meet again." Draco Malfoy just whispered in Ivan's ear, and then followed Hai Ge also noticed Harry, and seemed to react in shock and said:
"Wait, he called you Harry just now? Are you that Harry Potter?"

Harry really didn't want to talk to the boy, but Hagrid answered the question for him.

"Hahaha! That's right, this is Harry Potter, that Kang... oh, sorry, it's Eden, right, I have to introduce you..."

Ivan looked at this boy who was about his age with great interest. Is this the legendary Harry Potter?It looks... very ordinary...

"Hello, I'm Eden Lake. It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Harry Potter." Ivan showed respect to Harry, but he was not as enthusiastic as other wizards.

Harry had to admit that the pretty boy in front of him was very easy to like and behave. Unlike the arrogant boy, Harry was subconsciously a little cautious in front of this boy, as if he was facing a ...like a true nobleman.

"Oh, oh, hello, I'm Harry Potter, nice to meet you." Harry was stunned for a moment, and then gently shook Ivan's outstretched hand. Shaking hands... it feels weird...

"I'm Draco Malfoy! Harry Potter, I didn't expect you to be that famous boy. I think you may need some wizard friends. I think I can help with this..."

"Hey! Well, boys, Harry and I have something to go, when you get to Hogwarts, you still have a lot of time to make friends! Harry, you have had enough, your Facebook I've bought it for you and we're leaving." Malfoy was interrupted by Hagrid's gruff voice.

"Sorry, we're leaving first, that... shall we see you at school later?"

Harry nodded towards the two of them, followed Hagrid's pace and left this magical lake chess and card experience store.

Before leaving, he vaguely heard the voice of the boy named Draco: "He didn't shake my hand!? I've never seen such an arrogant person..."

"Draco, I just didn't have time..."

Pfft, Harry couldn't help laughing out loud, he just didn't want to talk to that stinky boy on purpose!
In the evening, on the train back to the Dursleys' house, Harry looked out the window, sometimes frowning, sometimes giggling, everything that happened today was really incredible.

I suddenly became a hero, and inexplicably gained a lot of fame. Everyone in the wizarding world seemed to know me, but... I knew nothing about the wizarding world.

No, I still seem to know Pikachu, Harry stroked the monster cards that were opened in his hand, they didn't look special when there were Muggles around.

But Harry knew it was a magical magic card.

The "experience" at the Lake experience store dilutes Harry's confusion about suddenly breaking into the wizarding world.

Although the future is full of uncertainties, Harry doesn't know what tomorrow will look like, but...the world of magic is really interesting!
Either way, my life couldn't be any worse than before!

Although there are some twists and turns, Harry can guarantee that today is definitely the most special and unforgettable birthday he has ever had!
Harry is full of expectations for the upcoming campus life.

"My life is about to start a new chapter."

"Here I come, Hogwarts!"
