[HP] Illusion

Harry landed in an alley outside the Leaky Cauldron.He didn't have many places to go in this world, and the Leaky Cauldron was his best choice for the time being.

At this time, the sky had basically darkened, and light rain began to fall in the dark sky, pattering, and bursts of cold induced wind mixed with continuous rain, brushing away people on the road.At this time, the lights on the road were not strong enough to allow people to see the road conditions clearly. Pedestrians were hurrying to avoid the wind and rain.Harry was almost frozen when he walked into the Leaky Cauldron in the cold wind and drizzling rain.

The fireplace in the bar was burning, and the warm wind enveloped him all of a sudden. After Harry sneezed a lot, he ordered a glass of Flame Whiskey and sat in the corner. It was as hot as being burned, and the young man's face was slightly red.

At this time, there were only a few customers in the store. The owner Tom, who was decades younger, was standing behind the counter and whispering to a wrinkled witch, and two middle-aged wizards were sitting in another corner drinking. sherry.

Flame whiskey is actually not intoxicating. The alcohol in the whiskey evaporates in the burning flame, and the rest is not enough to make people intoxicated.Harry only drank one glass, so naturally he was not affected by the truth, but the burning in his mouth seemed to make his brain more and more clear.

So where is he going next?At this time, the rain outside didn't stop, and it even tended to get bigger and bigger. The sound of rain pattering on the window rushed into Harry's ears. This kind of time was obviously not a good time to go out, but now the biggest The problem was that Harry didn't know when he was going to leave.

He thought about it, went to Tom to ask for a room, and paid for one night's room by the way.

"There is everything in the room," said Tom, who was dozens of years younger at this time, his teeth hadn't fallen out, and his body was not as thin and stooped as when he first met him. After Harry paid the bill in advance, he became more enthusiastic. Take him upstairs, "If you need anything else, you can call me. By the way, my name is Tom."

Harry nodded and responded to a single tone casually. He followed Tom into a very familiar corridor. The two came to a door. The brass number plate on the door was engraved with the words 11, "Mr. Potter, Your room is number eleven." Tom unlocked the door.

The room is familiar.This was Harry's first impression, and then he immediately remembered that he lived on the 11th for half a month during the summer vacation of the second grade. He didn't expect that this time he lived in the same room more than 40 years ago by such a coincidence. Facts have proved that Even after decades, the arrangement here is still the same - the oak cabinet stands in the same position, and a very comfortable big bed is placed in the center of the room. When he entered the door, Hedwig was standing in the closet look at him from above...

He walked in, and Tom stood behind him, "Sir, if you are not satisfied with this place, there are other rooms in the store..."

"No need." Harry swallowed quietly, trying not to sound so strange. "It's nice here."

"Then, I wish you a good night and a sweet dream." Tom bowed his head and lowered his brows and walked out of the room, but he was a little muttering in his heart.

Mr. Potter's frozen reaction after entering the room was a bit weird, and even when he spoke later, he felt that the man seemed to be choking... probably misheard.

After Tom left, Harry's stomach suddenly bulged, and he realized that he hadn't eaten at all. He looked at his watch and silently counted the time. He should have been here for six hours. It stands to reason that he should stay a few hours at most before returning.

Well, it was all over anyway, and he didn't bother calling Tom to get him something to eat.

The fire in the fireplace was burning brightly, lighting up the whole room with a yellowish glow, and the room was very warm.Feeling tired suddenly, Harry yawned, took off his glasses and lay down on the bed, intending to ignore the protests of his stomach and eat when he got back there.

Perhaps he had slept here for countless nights many years ago, and he slept soundly that night, but when he woke up at six in the morning, he found himself still on the big bed in Room 11.

Harry rubbed his head, straightened his hair, which was messed up in sleep, and put his glasses on again, before he really confirmed that he hadn't gone back.

How is this going?

At seven o'clock in the morning, Harry was so hungry that he left after having a breakfast in the Leaky Cauldron, still unable to figure out why he was still in this world.

It was sunny outside, the sky was clear and clear, the sun was half hidden behind the clouds and it was not dazzling. Because of the rain last night, there was still a coolness in the air. The refreshing coolness and moisture fell on Harry's hair. Soon it was covered with a lot of mist.

After that, he walked around Diagon Alley for four or five hours, almost all of Diagon Alley, because he was worried about not knowing when he would leave, and the time he spent in each store Not long.It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that he had been there for a whole day before he stopped in a small alley.

Could it be that he has to stay in this place again today?

He has enough money, but has he stayed in this world for a long time?I used to stay in this place for a few hours at most, but now a whole day has passed, what if the time will be longer in the future?For some reason, Harry's premonition that something like this might happen grew stronger.

Looking back on the past few times, he did stay in this world longer and longer, from a few hours to a day, who knows if it will gradually increase in the future, before he could secretly stay in little Snape's room, Now this is clearly impossible.

——It is indeed a hidden danger.

Frowning, Harry walked back to the Leaky Cauldron, and settled into room 11 again.

Is it possible that we will live here in the future?Harry lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, thinking of a solution once and for all?

☆☆☆

When he woke up the next morning, he found that he was still in the same room, completely stunned.

Are you going to leave?

At this moment, Harry didn't know how he felt. It was good to stay. This was something he had been considering before, but his affairs were not arranged well. What if others found out that he was missing?

But soon he realized that he was thinking too much, because just as he was about to go out of the room to have breakfast, he found his body was slowly rising. After a period of coldness and darkness, Harry clearly felt himself It landed on the solid wooden floor.

The familiar smell and environment reminded him that he had returned to the original world.Perhaps because he had not been back for two days, his room was filled with a faint damp smell, Harry slowly got up to open the window, and sat down at the small round wooden table beside the bed.

Harry wasn't particularly disappointed, and he didn't know if he should be relieved, because this was exactly what he expected - he couldn't stay for a long time, and could only rely on Snape's memory to constantly shuttle back and forth.

——Then how is the length of stay calculated?

If he has been traveling between two worlds, and the time he can stay in that world is getting longer and longer, then it is impossible for him to live in the Leaky Cauldron all the time.

Harry thought back to the jumble of thoughts that had been running through his head before he went to bed last night.

If he really stays longer and longer, then buying a property in that world is actually a very good choice.It is also a waste of money to rent a house with a deadline. It is better to buy it.In addition, the economy of the Muggle world was not good at that time, and the economy of the wizarding world was not much better. Even buying a small house should not cost too much money-the price of houses is always rising, in fact, he is not losing money. ...Although he does not have the unscratched currency of that era, the money in the wizarding world is in circulation. Even if he wants to buy a house in the Muggle world, he only needs to bring enough money to exchange it.

Harry is indeed not short of money, and Gringotts' property is enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life. He stayed in Hogwarts after graduation, and he was paid a monthly salary. Hogwarts benefits are good, and board and lodging are all included. , plus he owns the house at No. 12 Grimmauld Place, which is no longer the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix since the end of the war, and it has completely belonged to him, so he never thought about buying another house at all.From another perspective, even if he bought a house there, it would not affect the amount of property he currently owns.

This may not be the best way, but it is the most once and for all method.

Although this idea may seem crazy, it is very feasible to operate.

Harry's thoughts became clearer and clearer, and he even had the urge to finish this matter now.

It does work!Even if he doesn't stay in that world anymore, he can leave that house to someone else or something.Before that, he had a place to stay in that world.

well.

Just when Harry was about to go out, he suddenly realized that it was almost evening. The sky was dark and dark clouds hovered over Hogwarts. Next, Gringotts usually closes at five o'clock, and it's too late to go at this time.

The next morning, Harry couldn't wait to leave Hogwarts. Gringotts would still be open during the Easter holidays. Harry successfully withdrew the money and returned to school.

In front of the Pensieve, Harry shook the heavy money bag in his hand, and the sound of clattering immediately filled his ears.

Really want to buy?Looking at the silver-gray liquid memory in front of him, Harry silently made up his mind.

Face down, he fell upside down into the Pensieve and landed on the ground.

Harry looked around immediately, only to find that this place was the path where he had met Lily and Petunia last time.
