Chapitre 3: Diagon alley
After awaking I found a tired mordred curled up beside me, she took that proposal literally. Not that I mind, she's like a cute little cat to me. Even though she won't hesitate to tear out your throat should you annoy her. She really is a fine queen by Westeros standards at least in terms of ferocity, politically speaking the court jester is better than her but that's why people have advisors.
As if realising I was thinking about her she awoke and stretched her body, my ears were greeted with popping noises and a "funyaaaaahn" noise as she yawned. Cute~
"Morning mordred". "Mowin won cwaaaaaan" she's barely awake, let's fix that. I trailed my finger up her spine making her lips curl and her body relax as it was about to fall asleep again. But once I reached the base of the spine I let my killing intent loose and my finger felt like a blade about to sever her in two.
Her eyes jolted open as she froze on the spot, she then creakily turned towards me with an annoyed expression. "Sorry moe~ that's a trick my father Eddard stark used to pull to test my awareness. You passed~". "Yay" she said dryly as she got up fully awake.
She stomped her way towards the bathroom to wash up. "Want me to join you?" She tossed a block of soap at me. That's a sign for free entry right? So I dropped my clothes and entered to find her running a bath. She turned her eyes to me and creased her brows at all the scars on my body.
The seven major scars that never managed to fade after my resurrection drew her gaze. She looked down and let her eyes widen a little. "Bigger than most of the knights" I heard her whisper. Nothing like a good stroke to the ego in the morning. I walked up and took a bath bomb before tossing it in.
She looked at me confused "that's a bath bomb, it adds bubbles. Some contain herbs beneficial to the body." "Humu, now that you mention it we'll have to retrain our bodies from scratch. How are we going to do that while still in school" she said before entering the bath (naked of course).
I slid in behind her and let my body soak in the heat of the water. "Hogwarts has many hidden rooms, a few offer training facilities. The founder godrick Gryffindor was a swordsman so he should have a training facility. There's also the great forest filled with a wide variety of creatures to hone ourself against. I'll have to start working on our poison resistance."
Mordred scooped up some bubbles and blew them away. "Wouldn't our magic resistance cover that?" "Hmm that's only relating to potions, poison may not have affected your old body but this new one is a different kettle of fish. Your going to mature in that body moe meaning some things will be different. Which reminds me, I'll have to buy you some feminine products".
She elbowed me showing it was a sensitive topic, she's comfortable with nudity yet uncomfortable with biology. We are both knights, we're used to group bathing. Her secret of pedigree would manage to cover her gender whilst she bathed after all. Her mother may be a good choice to add as a bishop.
She elbowed me again so I looked at her "don't even think about it, I've seen many a man thinking they could use my mother. It all ends with their death." "Sorry moe, just thinking about her skills. Who knows where we'll end up after this world."
She stretched a leg and spoke "I'm still unsure of this whole other world things. Could they truly be as horrifying as you make them out to be?" Oh she has no idea. Granted Nasuverse is horrible in terms of backstories of character but at least people live there.
So many apocalyptic worlds out there, not to mention cultivator worlds with planet busters running around. Thinking logically as we are now the strongest world for us to visit may be solo levelling, we could be A rankers there with a possibility of becoming an S ranker.
As we continued to bathe I spoke about other worlds that may be a bit..... off putting. She trembled slightly as I described a weeping angel to her. As we dressed and paid for the night we marched our way towards the bar that Leeds to Diagon alley. After finding a way into London we searched for a street map. After rustling one from a local we found our way to the leaky cauldron.
Upon entering the bar mordred and I noticed the mana leaking from the people around us. They made no moves to conceal their mana? Foolish in our eyes. I listened in as we made our way to the brick wall. Whispers off how they just met Harry Potter echoes out through the pub.
I turned to mordred who smirked knowingly, she walked to the wall and performed the same method Hager's used in the movie last night. As the bricks folded away we were greeted with the musty old Diagon alley filled with people bustling from shop shop to prepare their children for the hogwarts year.
Mordred was confused "Jon? Why is this place so dirty? Even the slums of Camelot would have been in a cleaner shape than this." I sighed "for one its to instil a sense of awe in the muggle borns. They want them to think that the wizarding world is long standing so they won't want to mess with it. Look some shops are clean yet others that are dirty are filled with customers. Simply a marketing ploy and a means to control the masses".
"Geh! More of that political bullshit you spoke off. I'd rather just give this place a good sweep~". I nodded before pulling out the list and deciding where we need to go.
"Hmm first we'll go to an apothecary to get the potion making tools required for the year along with some for private research. Next we'll hit bippity boppity books and flourish and botts to gather the books for the year along with subjects not covered in hogwarts. Variety is better for us".
"Indeed, I want to become a mighty lion through becoming an animagus!" "I bet you become a fat house cat like Garfield" she just grumbled "yeah what will you become!?" "Either a dragon though less likely, a wolf due to me being a stark on my mother's side or a crow/raven due to my time on the knights watch."
She sighed at my logical thinking before pulling me along. My eyes spotted some prudes eyeballing me and mordred due to us being in muggle clothing.
We visited a number of stores but the main ones were: bippity boppity books, flourish and blotts, a junk shop where we picked up a book on occulemency and animagus magic (cost a pretty penny), potage's cauldron shop, quality quidditch supplies for some brooms, stationery store, a few street peddlers for some odd things, Twilfitt and tatting's robes to get mordred up to dress code (my king crow cloak just copied her design and shifted them to suit myself. I kept the fur in lining as it's more comfortable for me.), next we went to Madam Primpernelle's beautification potions store to pick up some lady things for mordred and better quality shampoo for the both of us.
After that I took her Florean Fortescue's ice cream parlour. Me and her have an immense appetite, good thing hogwarts is an all you can eat buffet. Mordred certainly shares her parents appetite though mine doesn't fall short. To end the day off we went to the owl emporium to get an owl for the pair of us, we named her kahoot cause we'll we didn't really care much. The brownish owl didn't seem to mind though as she was a little scared of us.
Probably sees an aura of a lion and a wolf or something. After that we went to the magical menagerie where we purchased two cats. She called hers morty and I called my black one Tyrion, I was tempted to call him little bastard but that would be demanding to them.
Mordred gushed over the cats, she chose to go into the inner world with them and kahoot. I spent my time heading towards Ollivander, along the way I brushed shoulders with a blonde elf looking mother fucker.
He stopped and flared his nostrils before brushing his shoulder. "Didn't your parents teach you any manners boy!" He snarled. I looked at him with a bored look "they taught me stranger danger, the sings on how to spot a homosexual pedophile. I'm going to keep walking old man, best not to interfere with a lords business again all right".
He looked aghast "how dare you! Do you know who I am!" I was tempted to say a walking corpse if you bother me much more. He does look like the actor, he seemed to spot my eye roll. "Well? Do you?" "Not really know, I'll check my amber alert in a minute though" and with that I walked away. The confused elf summoned his house elf and remanded him to find out what an "amber alert is".
Three minutes later i heard a loud snarl, guess he learned what it means. Wait do those even exist right now? Doesn't matter, it was effective. I came to my last stop of the day. Ollivanders! As I walked to the entrance I spotted a familiar giant and a short Daniel Radcliffe admiring a Snow White owl. God I hope that's not actually lily potter, the amount of dark fics I read in my last life kinda make me put my guard up.
Although not much can hurt me in hogwarts, my magic resistance is nothing to scoff at. My mind is also something a normal person wouldn't want to look into. After all.... I saw the face (beard) of god, I would legit loose my shit if dumbledore went ark of the covenant at the dinner table.
I passed them "pardon me" I said and they stepped aside "oh sorry about that, we're in yer way, comm on arry' lets be off ta gringotts" said hagrid. His accent really is thick. Harry just nodded and followed him like a meek duckling.
I sensed eyes on me coming from the shop, I imagine this is the part where Ollivander calls dumbledore and tells him Harry got the counterpart wand. I ignored it and entered the shop, the old man locked onto me.
"Welcome to ollivanders wand shop, home to the finest wand makers in the British isles. Come for a wand young man". "Not exactly sir, I have some unique materials here that I would like made into a wand. Family gifted materials that always suit my family".
He looked intrigued so I pulled the weirwood and the drogon heart string from a pouch. It would look like a bag with an expansion charm on it so no one would notice my inner world. His eyes where locked onto the materials. He grasped the wood gently before he erupted into questions about it.
The weirwood was incredibly conductive for magic according to Ollivander so he wanted to know more about it. I just feigned ignorance about its origins and said my family got it for me. He then reached for the dragon heart string, nothing he hadn't handled before or so he thought until he picked it up. He could feel the raw power emanating from it.
His hands trembled "this wand will be incredibly powerful young man, please come here so I can measure you. I need exact measurements!" He then pulled out some tape that floated near his hands and began measuring my arm, finger length, my grip strength in each hand, my wrist manoeuvrability and all sorts of things. When he was done I felt like a man being dragged shopping for the first time.
He scuttled off upstairs and began working on the wand, I followed and watched the process as he chanted some Latin causing the wood to unravel like it was shredded cheese. It than began to wrap around the heart string before compacting into the shape of a wand. He came back with a wand measuring at 13 and a half inches.
He then said that he wouldn't charge me for this wand as thanks for the opportunity to work with such a rare material. I nodded to him and said goodbye before leaving. I headed towards an alley near the train station as we were scheduled to leave tomorrow.
I bought us some ingredients to cook for dinner tonight and entered the inner world. I stocked up on cat food and mordred said the owl would feed itself. I still bought some bacon treats for it which kahoot seemed to love.
After that we retired to bed but not before mordred watched the third movie affirming her desire to become an animagus. I sighed and noticed she already bought the mandrake leaves. All we need is to learn the sticking charm and we'll be good to go. The incantation isn't that hard compared to other rituals. I did advise Morgan to get her body into a better shape before we start rituals on them. She agreed to start once we reach hogwarts. Till then it's movie time.
