Chapter 192 Placement of Assets

The summer vacation passed without realizing it. Hermione was about to start school, and Locke also studied the magic books he had purchased.

The identity arranged by the system is just an identity. It is impossible to directly teach Locke all kinds of magical knowledge in this world. However, with his super brain and deep foundation, Locke easily mastered the general knowledge of wizards in this world. Knowledge.

But obviously, these are just the basics. The books that can be bought in bookstores do not include the larger number of banned books. Locke feels that he still needs to find opportunities from Hogwarts College.

"Mr. Locke, many of the magic principles you told me are not recorded in books. You know so much, you must be a very famous wizard in the magic world."

Putting down her notebook, Hermione looked at Locke with some admiration.

"Actually, I'm not famous in the magic world." Locke shrugged: "Because I prefer to focus on research and don't really like to be in the limelight."

"Is that so? It feels a bit pity." Hermione couldn't help but said.

"The magic world is not as happy as you think. You will know when you get to the academy." Locke said slowly:

"I come from a Muggle family. Many so-called pure-blood families with inheritance look down upon people like me. If I show too much prominence, it may cause some trouble."

"But when you encounter something unfair like this, shouldn't you find a way to fight it?" Hermione couldn't help but say.

"These things are deeply ingrained in the wizarding world. Rather than putting time and energy into fighting them, it's better to focus on improving your own magic."

Locke said slowly: "Magic is an extraordinary power. If you want to gain the right to speak, you must have enough strength.

This is what I want to tell you, don’t waste time and energy on meaningless verbal disputes, and focus more on improving your own strength.

When you are strong enough, no matter what these people are thinking, they must give you enough respect. "

"Okay." Hermione was still a little aggrieved.

"Well, you're about to start school soon. When you get to Hogwarts, maybe we can see each other more often." Locke said with a smile.

"Really?!" Hermione exclaimed in surprise.

"I got a job as a library manager at Hogwarts, which will make it easier for me to study magic books that are not available on the market, so when you get to the academy, we should see each other often."

"Great." Hermione cheered. She was about to go to a strange place. Having familiar people was indeed a joyful thing.

The day of school finally arrived at Hogwarts. Locke came to Granger's house early in the morning, watched Hermione count the supplies needed for school for the last time, and then drove to King's Cross Station.

"Mr. Locke, where is that platform?" Mr. Granger asked.

"It's clearly printed on the train ticket, Mr. Granger," Locke said.

"But I've been on the bus many times, and I've never seen Platform 9." Mr. Granger frowned and asked, "Is it some kind of invisibility magic again?"

Seeing Locke smiling and acquiescing, Mr. Granger could only say: "Well, tell me where you are quickly. We have to drive in half an hour, so don't waste time."

"Daddy is stupid." Hermione, who was with Locke, laughed: "Platform 9 is naturally between platform nine and platform ten."

"Really?" Mr. Granger looked at Locke: "I thought you people in the magical world were used to violating ordinary people's common sense."

"This may be true in other aspects, but the platform is an exception. After all, we have to take care of some new students whose parents are ordinary people." Locke explained.

"Sure enough, I guessed it right!" Hermione said with a smile.

A group of four people came to the open space between the ninth platform and the tenth platform. Mr. Granger couldn't help but look around, and Locke pointed to the load-bearing wall pillar in front of him.

"Then how should we get there?" Mr. Granger looked at the wall in front of him, and then he saw a teenager pushing his luggage directly into the wall and disappeared.

"That child went in like this, wasn't he afraid of being seen?" Mr. Granger couldn't help but ask.

"A magic spell is set here, which will make people subconsciously ignore this place. If someone doesn't remind them, no one will notice what is happening."

Locke explained: "Even if someone notices it, the wizards patrolling nearby will take care of it.

Okay, don't waste time, Mr. Granger, Hermione and I went in. Only wizards can pass here, ordinary people will only hit the wall. "

"Okay." The Grangers could only watch Hermione telling her to be careful, and then asked Locke to take good care of her.

After agreeing, Locke stepped forward with Hermione, and soon found that the surrounding environment had changed dramatically. Hermione looked around with a sense of novelty.

"It's up to you next. This is a bus specially designed to pick up new students." Locke took Hermione to the ticket gate, explained to her, watched her get on the train, and waited for the train to leave before leaving.

Locke is not in a hurry to go to Hogwarts. Unlike the professors in the college, they are still busy with the enrollment of new students. However, Locke, the librarian, is very free and can wait for two days before taking up his post.

Due to bloodline restrictions, there are not many people in the wizarding world as a whole. Just like the British wizarding world, there are thousands of people divided into various factions and organizations. In Locke's view, they are the small demons in the temple and the powerful kings in the shallow water. More than eight.

Even if the higher-ups in the wizarding world have some self-awareness, the entire wizarding world is self-contained. If they really want to control the world of ordinary people, the end result will most likely be the other way around.

Locke didn't intend to spend time in Hogwarts all the time. Ever since he came to this world, Locke also had his own plans. He had already bought a property in Diagon Alley a few days ago.

It is located on the street behind Gringotts. Most of the houses here are residences of wizards, some are for sale and some are for rent.

However, most wizards choose to rent, because it is too expensive for ordinary wizards to permanently buy a house in Diagon Alley, especially those houses with permanent traceless extension spells.

Locke bought a house facing the street. From the outside, the entrance was only as wide as a few doors, and the three floors above and below were only seventy or eighty square meters in total.

But after entering, each floor is a spacious space of more than 360 square meters. Locke spent nearly 10,000 galleons to buy it.

Buying a house in Diagon Alley is relatively simple. You only need to negotiate with the original owner and then accept the review by the Ministry of Magic. However, this review is relatively simple, which means paying some Galleons to register.

But if you want to open a store in Diagon Alley, it will be more troublesome. The whole process is very cumbersome, and the Ministry of Magic must review all aspects of the applicant.

On the contrary, almost no one takes care of Kwantai Alley next door. As long as there is a house, you can open a shop casually. However, due to the overall environmental problems, safety cannot be adequately guaranteed, and you need to rely more on your own strength.

Because Locke exchanged large amounts of Galleons for Galleons in a short period of time, the goblins in Gringotts showed more enthusiasm towards Locke and improved his service level.

In addition to Diagon Alley, there are many wizards gathered in Hogsmeade, and some wizards live with ordinary people or in their own manors.

It is very convenient to move between several locations by relying on floo powder or apparation.

In addition to the house in Diagon Alley, Locke also purchased a house in Hogsmeade and applied for a floo network between the two houses.

The several house purchases were successful. Locke bought houses that were casted with permanent traceless extension spells, and the prices were always higher than the market price.

In addition to the house, Locke also applied for two house elves at the Ministry of Magic's House Elf Resettlement Office a few days ago.
