Connor's Hogwarts

1991.7.31. Diagon Alley.

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

After buying all the items on the list, Harry Potter couldn't help but cast his eyes on the "Lake Chess and Cards Experience Store" in front of him.

Whether it was the eye-catching billboard, the familiar figure of Pikachu, or the "Monster Card" that the wizards around him mentioned from time to time, Harry was full of curiosity about this store.

And he still remembered that the name of his favorite comic magazine was called Lake Comics. Could it be that they were really the same Lake?

"Well, yes, of course, although I am not interested in those monster cards. These cards are too small, and the monsters are not cute. But the wine in it is quite delicious..." Hagrid said After thinking quietly, he led Harry towards this magical shop.

"Welcome to Lake Experience Store. I am Mira, the owner. This is your first time here. Do you need my help?"

As soon as Harry entered the store, 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 Lake's fox, you will see it often in the future! By the way, you also need to buy a Facebook, because I don't use it very often, and I forgot that you don't have it yet. , I should probably give you a copy.”

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

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

"This is Mira! Oh, yes, you don't know, this is from a painting."

"painting?"

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

"Actually, I was surprised when I came here last time. The things in Lake's house are always so magical. If you like, you can bring this little fox with you and 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 carefully squatted down and asked the little fox in front of him: "Hello... Mira, please, can I Touch you?"

"Of course you can~" The little fox jumped up to Harry, and Harry stretched out his hand to touch it. Wow~ It's plush 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 get off the ground, so don't pick it up."

"Eh?"

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

"What exactly are monster cards..."

"Do you want to buy monster cards? A new event will start tomorrow! The final battle of [Millennium Pharaoh]! The new limited edition gold card [Sky Dragon of Osiris] will be released soon! There is also a summer vacation card pack event for purchasing ten consecutive games Oh! More discounts are available at Lake Chess and Cards 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 does this mean...hug...sorry, I have never played monster cards before..."

"Oh! So this is the little wizard who just entered school!? Sorry, Mira was too rash just now. Please allow me to introduce you to the Pokemon cards of our Lake board."

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 towards him and said: "Harry, it's okay, you can play here for an hour, and we have to leave after an hour. It's just fun." cheer up."

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

………

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

"...Look, that's it. As long as the health of the opponent's [Character Card] returns to zero, you will win. Isn't it simple?"

Harry found that he had been attracted by this card game. There was such a fun game in the wizarding world! the most important is…

"Mira, how much does this Pikachu cost?"

Harry asked as he grabbed the yellow-skinned mouse that was struggling in his hands. He didn't expect that he would see a "live" Pikachu one day!

If he had known, what he envied most at home was that his cousin Dudley always had countless toys. He once wished he could have a Pikachu doll, but in the end Dudley broke his doll into tatters and threw it into the garbage. There was no pile 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 a Pikachu card, you need to buy a card pack at the counter and get your own card."

Little fox Mira pointed to the sales counter on the other side and enthusiastically promoted:

“There is an event for the freshman season right now. Just show your Hogwarts admission notice and you can enjoy a 10% discount on purchases at all Lake chess and card experience stores!”

Harry wanted to run to the counter and pick up his own Pikachu right now, but Harry, who had been afraid of poverty since he was a child, held back for the time being. He asked cautiously: "Mira, what is the price of this monster card?"

"All Yokai card packs are priced at one Silver Siko per pack. The ordinary card packs have five random Yokai cards. But since this is your first time buying, 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, seasonal card packs, gold card probability up card packs..."

Just like that, fooling, fooling, by the time Harry came to his senses, all the dozen silver coins he had brought out from Gringotts had been used up!

Harry woke up suddenly. In just a short period of time, he had actually used up one gold galleung! Opening a card pack is so awesome!

"Master, you are so lucky. You actually got two rare gold cards. The probability of gold cards from the Millennium Artifact series is very low. Why don't you take advantage of your luck and buy a few more packs?"

The little fox Mira waved her big tail and kept encouraging.

"This...next time...next time, my silver coins have been used up."

"Purchase with Gold Galleons and you will receive three packs of cards as a gift! In addition to your new student discount, Master, one Gold Galleons can buy twenty-two packs of monster cards! What a great discount!"

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

"Hey! Eden! What a coincidence, are you coming to Diagon Alley to buy something today?"

"Draco, long time no see."

It's that annoying boy from Madam Malkin's robe shop!

Harry turned around and saw that the boy who spoke arrogantly just now was talking to another... probably another boy.

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

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

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

"Oh? Has your magical brother developed any new gadgets?"

"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. He even locked himself in his room for a month this summer! Hey! , he didn’t tell me anything about his research, and I didn’t dare to ask.”

"Haha, he is the [genius Lake] after all. If you have the chance, you must introduce your brother to me. I have admired him for a long time!"

"Definitely, definitely. I will introduce him to you when school starts. My brother is a very easy-going person. I think he will also be happy to meet you."

Harry didn't expect that the boy with the bad talk could actually speak normally, and Harry just heard them mention Lake? Is it the Lake from this experience store?

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

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

But Hagrid walked towards the two children with a smile on his face. Did Hagrid know them?

But the handsome-looking black-haired boy denied Harry's guess.

"Sorry, I think you have 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 the same. Very good friend, I say hello to you on his behalf."

"Oh? So you're not Connor? Oh, yes, you look a little younger than Connor...but you two brothers look really alike, hahaha. I'm sorry, I got the wrong person."

Hagrid scratched his head and laughed, not caring about the fact that he recognized the wrong person. Then he saw Harry not far behind the two of them:

"Hey! Harry, how's it going? Did you have fun?" As he said that, he walked towards Harry.

"Eden, why do you care about this kind of person, this kind of servant... eh? It's you, we meet again." Draco Malfoy just whispered in Ivan's ear, and then followed Hai Hai Greg also noticed Harry, and seemed to be shocked and said:

"Wait, he just called you Harry? Are you the Harry Potter?"

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

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

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

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

Harry had to admit that the handsome boy in front of him was easy to like in his words and deeds. Unlike the boy who spoke arrogantly, Harry was subconsciously a little reserved in front of this boy, as if he was facing a ...like a true noble.

"Oh, oh, hello, I'm Harry Potter, nice to meet you." Harry was stunned for a moment, then gently shook Ivan's extended hand. This was the first time Harry had interacted with anyone. The handshake... 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 at this point..."

"Hey! Okay, boys, Harry and I have to leave first. When you get to Hogwarts, you'll still have plenty of time to make friends! Harry, you've had enough fun, your Facebook I've bought it for you and we're leaving." Hagrid's rough voice interrupted Malfoy.

"Sorry, let's leave first. Well... we'll see you at school later?"

Harry nodded towards the two of them and followed Hagrid's footsteps to leave this magical Lake Chess and Cards Experience Store.

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

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

Pfft, Harry couldn't help laughing, he just deliberately didn't want to pay attention to that stinky boy!

In the evening, on the train back to the Dursleys' house, Harry looked out the window, sometimes frowning and sometimes giggling. Everything that happened today was really incredible.

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

No, he still seemed to know Pikachu. Harry stroked the monster cards in his hand. When Muggles were around, these cards looked nothing special.

But Harry knew it was a magical magic card.

The "experience" of going to Lake Experience Store diluted Harry's confusion about suddenly breaking into the wizarding world.

Although the future is full of uncertainties, and Harry doesn't know what it will be like tomorrow, but... the magical world is really interesting!

No matter what, my life will never be 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 was full of expectations for the upcoming campus life.

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

"Here I come, Hogwarts!"
