Chapter 5: First Encounter with Harry Potter

As they walked out of the gates of Gringotts, all the elves saluted Luke and Professor McGonagall.

The fact that Luke inherited the treasury of the Gaunt family is not a secret to the elves themselves, so their delay in the treasury for a while is enough for the news to reach the ears of all the elves in Gringotts. It's enough to make them full of envy for Luke.

After all, if you think about it on your toes, you know what an astronomical amount of money an old pure-blood nobleman will use to start a new business.

When Luke came out, there was not much change in his body, except for more confidence between his eyebrows, only an extra delicate belt around his waist.

At this time, he dug out the treasure trove of his own treasure house, and there were few magic items that he could use now. The six gems on the belt prescribe five practical spells, and a silver gem that serves as a store, but cannot store any living things. It is a low-profile version of the system warehouse. But it's a good thing to hide the existence of a system repository.

Professor McGonagall was holding a manual of magical experiments. Looking at her cautious appearance, you can see how valuable this manual is.

Professor McGonagall looked at Luke walking beside him, still a little embarrassed, because he had thought that he would never take any of it before entering the treasury. Because a student's stuff is a student's stuff. If he asked for it, he would be a little bit coerced, and if he deliberately gave Luke preferential treatment because of this incident later, he would be suspected of bribery.

This is an overkill, of course, but it is not surprising that Professor McGonagall thinks so with the seriousness with which education is concerned. But...... The contents of the Gaunt family's treasury were too tempting, and Professor McGonagall was convinced that no professor would come out empty-handed unless it was Dumbledore who came today.

She only took a research manual on the 'Special Transfiguration', which was already the result of restraining her greed.

"Shall we go buy wands next, Professor?"

Luke's words were not so much about Professor McGonagall as he was expressing his thoughts.

"I remember you had a wand, didn't it fit your hand?"

Professor McGonagall looked at Luke with some confusion, after all, from what he saw in the morning, the wand and Luke were quite compatible, obviously he had recognized Luke, and more importantly, the wand was an ancient and powerful wand at the first glance that Professor McGonagall saw. For any wizard to be recognized with such a wand is something to celebrate.

Luke smiled helplessly: "It's too powerful, I can't use it freely now......"

It was Slytherin's wand, and to be recognized by it was already the effect of Luke's own ambition, the help of the system, and the bloodline of the Gaunt family. But in order to control it comfortably, Luke reckons that he will have to grow a little more.

Professor McGonagall nodded, and asked no more questions. After all, this is really not a topic to talk about with people. A wand is quite private for any wizard.

Luke knew how to describe the relationship, the wand, like his own cell phone from his previous life. Although the mobile phone will not appear because the performance is too strong, but it is not suitable.

"Then let's go to Ollivander first."

Luke nodded, he was also quite yearning and curious about that wand shop, and he didn't know what the wand that was most suitable for him would look like?

After the two of them had a goal, they didn't waste any more time and walked straight towards Ollivanders' store.

There are quite a lot of people in Diagon Alley at this time, although there are usually a lot of people, but because of the Hogwarts admission letter, many people bring their children to buy items at this time. After all, young wizards often don't have much patience.

Luke observed everyone passing by with great interest, and this was the first time he had come into contact with so many wizards, and he was inevitably a little excited. Along the way, many adult wizards recognized Professor McGonagall, and a few nodded at Professor McGonagall, after all, Professor McGonagall had a faintly wary expression, and did not look like he was willing to stop and talk.

This made them look at the little boy beside the professor, and they were a little puzzled about his identity.

Luke knew that it had nothing to do with him, it was the pot of the magic manual, but he couldn't explain it to passers-by, and he couldn't persuade Professor McGonagall to relax, after all, it was indeed a unique thing, and copying magic could not be used, and if he wanted to copy it, he could only copy it himself, and even if it was him, it could only be temporarily lent to Professor McGonagall, not a gift. Of course, the time of borrowing they did not specify.

Luke soon saw a tall figure with a birdcage in his hand containing a beautiful white owl. Luke recognized the man immediately.

"Hagrid? Are you here too? ”

Professor McGonagall asked, somewhat surprised. She knew what Hagrid's mission was, and since Hagrid was here now, that was to say......

"Oh! Professor! You're here too! Hagrid replied in a gruff voice, and then he saw Luke following Professor McGonagall, and understood why Professor McGonagall was here, "Is this the child you're responsible for guiding?" ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Luke again, in addition to being handsome and having a good temperament, this kid also has an inexplicable attraction, where he stands, is the focus of people's attention.

"Yes, Luke Gaunt, this year's freshman."

Professor McGonagall replied as she looked around Hagrid, but didn't see the figure she was looking for.

Naturally, Hagrid also saw Professor McGonagall's movements, and said with a smile: "Harry is now testing his wand at Ollivander, Professor, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”

Professor McGonagall subconsciously glanced back at Luke. Luke noticed Professor McGonagall's gaze and said, "We're just on our way, Professor." ”

Professor McGonagall chuckled and nodded, then said to Hagrid, "Then let's go and see the kid." ”

So the three of them walked towards Ollivanders' point together.

In a few moments, Luke and the others walked to the door of the store, and through the window, Luke saw the famous 'Savior', Mr. Harry Potter.

At this time, he was still trying on his wand, and the excitement on his face revealed a little restraint.

Professor McGonagall looked at Harry, then at Luke beside her, and then sighed silently in her own heart. No matter how much you look at Harry as an elder, this gap is still obvious after all.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but complain a little about Dumbledore. If Harry had grown up in their hands, even in a normal wizarding family, he wouldn't have been as cautious as he appeared to be.

Just then, Hagrid knocked lightly on the window, attracting the attention of the two men in the store.

He raised the white owl in his hand and a big smile appeared on his face.

"Happy birthday, Harry!"

With that, he pushed open the door and walked in. Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment when she heard the words "Happy Birthday", and then a little distressed. It stands to reason that as an elder, she should have given Harry a birthday present, but she really didn't have anything with her right now......

But this is only a momentary thing, and she also understands that there is no need to think too much about this kind of thing, and the birthday gift will be made up later.

So she walked into the store too. Luke doesn't care, if he still yearns for Harry Potter in his previous life, then after he really enters this world, he cares more about himself than Harry.

"Harry, come and get acquainted, this is Professor McGonagall, the Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts, the Head of Gryffindor and Professor of Transfiguration."

After listening to Hagrid's introduction, Harry said to Professor McGonagall with some restraint, "Hello Professor, I'm Harry, Harry Potter. ”

He always felt that the professor in front of him with a serious face was not an easy professor to deal with.

"Hello, Harry. Happy birthday. ”

Professor McGonagall didn't show any enthusiasm after all. She actually agreed with Dumbledore's claim. What this child needs is not praise and preferential treatment, but normal development.

"And this one, Luke Gaunt, is a freshman from the same class as you."

Harry had seen Luke for a long time, after all, he seemed to glow, and people couldn't help but look at him.

Luke smiled and stretched out his hand: "Harry Potter, I've heard of the big name for a long time, and today I finally met the real person." Happy birthday to you too. ”

When Harry saw Luke's smiling face, he couldn't help but let go of his defensive stance.

"Thank you, it's the first time I've felt so famous."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took Luke's hand.

And just as the two shook hands, Ollivander on the side stared at Luke deadly, with doubt and incomprehension in his eyes, but more dazed and shocked.

"Gaunt? Is that Gaunt? ”

He couldn't help but ask.
