Only then did Harry remember that Peter had always been Mr. Stark's fan. No wonder he was so excited:
"Mr. Stark invited me to a party he's hosting tonight. Maybe I can bring you along. He probably won't mind."
"Really?" Peter trembled all over, as if he might faint at any moment.
"I can't believe I get to attend Mr. Stark's party. It's something countless people dream of.
No, I need to think about what I should wear. I have to make a good impression on Mr. Stark!"
Leaving his half-eaten meal behind, Peter hurried back to his bedroom. Soon, sounds of rummaging through boxes and cabinets came from inside. He was probably changing clothes.
Aunt May placed a sliced piece of steak onto Harry's plate and laughed. "Peter still likes Stark just as much as ever."
After lunch, Harry said goodbye to Aunt May and headed for the New York Sanctum Sanctorum.
He wanted to see whether the Supreme Mage was at Kamar-Taj. If she was, he would tell her about the Wizarding World's knowledge and see if it could help her.
If she was not there, he would need to use the magical materials Kamar-Taj had accumulated to make himself a wand in this world.
A wand could not only enhance the power of his magic, but also stabilize his magical energy. This would undoubtedly greatly strengthen him.
If he could make a wand that matched him perfectly, perhaps he would be able to cast magic steadily.
Then he could use portals instead of trudging miserably from place to place like he did now.
Besides a wand, Harry also wanted to make another magical item: a Flying Broomstick.
Compared to wands, which required consideration of materials, compatibility, magical conflicts, and many other issues, there was much less to consider when making a Flying Broomstick.
There was no need to consider compatibility or magical conflicts. As long as he had magical materials, he could make one.
Harry could indeed fly using magical energy now, but he was rather slow. With a Flying Broomstick, his flight speed would increase dramatically.
Greeting the mages he knew along the way, Harry went upstairs and met Master Daniel Drumm, the guardian of the New York Sanctum.
Master Daniel Drumm's mastery of magic was formidable. He stood among the very best below the Supreme Mage. If Harry did not draw on more magical energy and relied only on the amount he could control, he would not be a match for him.
Master Daniel Drumm was a bald, muscular Black man in his prime. He looked somewhat fierce, but he was actually very gentle and had none of a guardian's arrogance.
Before Harry arrived, he had been sweeping the floor with a broom.
"Good afternoon, Master Drumm." Harry smiled politely.
"Good afternoon, Harry." All the mages liked Harry, and they all knew he would become the next Supreme Mage, so they treated him kindly. "Are you looking for the Supreme Mage? I'm afraid you may be disappointed. The Supreme Mage has gone to seal a dimensional rift and will not be back for some time."
Harry was somewhat disappointed. The Supreme Mage was not here after all. It seemed he would have to wait before telling her about the Wizarding World's knowledge.
"All right. But I have other matters to attend to. Goodbye, Master Drumm."
Using a portal, Harry returned to Kamar-Taj and ran straight to the library.
To select magical materials, he needed to report it to Wong. Wong was the librarian and spent most of his time reading in the library.
Harry greatly admired Wong's patience. After reading for a few hours at most, he would no longer feel like reading, while Wong remained in the library day after day.
No wonder the Supreme Mage had once said that, in certain Parallel Universes, Wong served as the Supreme Mage. Wong's talent might not be exceptional, but hard work could also create miracles.
Sure enough, Wong was reading in the deepest part of the library. Beside him was the Restricted Section, whose books were all extremely dangerous.
They included many powerful spells with fatal costs, as well as Dark Magic that was evil in nature and required borrowing power from evil gods.
The most famous book among them was the "Book of Cagliostro." Kaecilius had once wanted to borrow it, but the Supreme Mage had refused him.
It was also because Harry could read that book freely that Kaecilius became jealous of him and changed his attitude toward Harry.
Their relationship had once been quite good. Kaecilius had even said that if his child had not died, they would have been about Harry's age.
Harry wanted to improve his relationship with Kaecilius, but Kaecilius only became colder and colder toward him.
Harry could do nothing about it. He could hardly tell him that the reason he could read the "Book of Cagliostro" was because he could ignore the temptations of evil gods. The Chaos Magic within him was a secret known only to the Supreme Mage and could not be revealed to anyone else.
"Good afternoon, Wong. I need your help finding some magical materials." Harry walked up to Wong and spoke directly without ceremony.
Wong closed the "Mystic Arts Essentials: Advanced Portals" in his hands and asked, "Let's go to the treasury. What materials do you need?"
Harry was the future Supreme Mage. Not only was the treasury open to him, even the Restricted Section was open to him. Wong did not ask what Harry intended to do with the magical materials and simply helped him find them.
Harry described the general properties of the materials needed to make a wand and a Flying Broomstick. "Wood with high magical conductivity, something like branches from a Flora Colossus would do. And body parts from magical creatures, preferably feathers, hair, and the like."
After a pause, Harry added uncertainly, "Perhaps they should also carry some chaos traits..."
The essence of magical energy in the Wizarding World was chaos, and magical materials also contained chaos traits. Harry felt that materials containing chaos traits would suit him better.
Wong traced a magical formation before the treasury door, opening its enchanted entrance as he walked inside.
"There are still some branches from the Flora Colossus. Oh, there are also some World Tree branches here. We have body parts from magical creatures too—dragon scales, Ice Phoenix feathers, goblin hair... but none of them seem to contain chaos traits."
Harry accepted the magical materials, his brows drawing together slightly.
Though these magical materials were not the finest in the multiverse, they were undoubtedly first-rate.
Yet the moment he touched them, he knew that wands made from these materials would not suit him.
They could enhance Chaos Magic, but only to a limited degree. There was absolutely no way they could achieve the twofold amplification of a Wizarding World wand.
Unwilling to give up, Harry asked, "Are there really no materials with chaos traits?"
Wong spread his hands helplessly. "The main trait of Kamar-Taj's magic is order. We have no need for Chaos Magic materials, and we do not forge wands. Sling Rings are much more convenient than wands.
Use these for now. When the Supreme Mage returns, she can take you to the Crossroads Dimension. You may be able to find Chaos Magic materials there."
"All right. This is the only way."
Harry brought the magical materials into a training room, closed the door, and began making a wand and a Flying Broomstick.
Making a Flying Broomstick was simple. Using these materials, Harry quickly crafted a broom with fairly good results.
