'Expecto Patronum'
This was a high-level magic in the wizarding world – the Patronus Charm. The requirement to cast this spell was genuine happiness, or thinking of scenes that made one feel happy and joyful.
Unfortunately, while Gemini had many happy things, such as making money, or making money, and also making money…
But these simple and meager joys were not enough to support him in casting the Patronus Charm.
Sitting on the mattress like a log, Gemini's hair was a bit messy. He had been learning this spell for three days and still had no clue.
"Is my spiritual world really this barren?" Gemini fell into deep self-doubt. "No, I can't be this shallow."
He even fantasized about playing Yasuo 18/0, yet still couldn't cast the Patronus Charm.
"Forget it…"
Tilting his head back and flopping onto the bed, Gemini was a bit helpless. "After all, it's the top Dark Arts Defense Against the Dark Arts, so it's normal for it to be a bit difficult."
The Patronus Charm clearly couldn't be cast with a Yasuo 18/0. If this spell were really that superficial, it wouldn't be called one of the top Dark Arts Defense Against the Dark Arts.
After a period of silence, Gemini came to a realization.
"My happiness is so vulgar…"
Or rather, I'm not happy at all.
The sky outside had already darkened. Gemini curled up at the head of the bed, his slender fingers gently turning his wand. The tip of the wand emitted a faint, light yellow halo, illuminating the room warmly.
Wands had their own emotions. Lively ones would cast spells on their own, while stubborn wands, when moody, would even refuse to cast spells. Dim-witted ones might even blow bubbles for no reason. Devoted wands would even extinguish their own sentience after their owner's death.
This golden halo was Gemini's wand casting a spell on its own. It sensed Gemini's emotions and released this warm light, attempting to provide warmth to its master.
"Hoo~"
A completely black owl appeared outside the window at some point, gently pecking at the window.
It was Abby.
This morning, Gemini had received a letter from Red. He wanted to buy more life-saving items.
After the two men communicated amicably through a bird, Red eventually bought three pieces of Adamantine Alloy Inner Armor from Gemini.
At first, Red didn't want to buy it. The item looked too ordinary and was expensive. That was until he discovered that no matter what method he used, he couldn't damage the inner armor…
In the distant East of another time, the great anthropologist Master Jingze once said: Oh my god, it smells so good!
This soft armor was worth fifty thousand pounds in the weapons shop. Gemini sold it to Red for two hundred thousand each, making a profit of four hundred and fifty thousand.
Abby was flying over this time to deliver the money.
Taking the Undetectable Extension Charm Pouch that Abby handed over, which contained three hundred stacks of twenty-pound banknotes, Red's letter stated whether magical items like the Undetectable Extension Charm Pouch could be sold to him.
Sell!
Why not sell!
The Undetectable Extension Charm Pouch was a good item!
The cost was low, but for Muggles like Red, its value was very high.
Gemini actually sold something worth twenty-five pounds for five thousand pounds, and even then, he felt he had sold it cheaply…
After selling two more Undetectable Extension Charm Pouches, Gemini's total assets reached six hundred and seventy thousand pounds.
He flopped onto the bed contentedly. The low mood, which seemed like affectation or something else, vanished completely. Gemini slowly fell asleep.
Finally, September 1st, 9 AM.
Black shirt, black jeans, black leather boots, and a fitted black trench coat.
His long black hair was simply tied back, with only a few strands of bangs falling down, making his fair, delicate face even more handsome.
Black leather gloves held a black cane. The only white on Gemini was Hedwig, who was quietly perched on his shoulder.
When Gemini, dressed like this, appeared in the lobby of The Leaky Cauldron, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Oh… look who's here, what a little gentleman?" an old witch said cheerfully, looking at Gemini, unable to close her mouth from smiling.
"Good morning, Mr. Fox," Old Tom said, placing one hand on his chest and bowing slightly to Gemini.
"Good morning, Mr. Tom," Gemini nodded politely.
Old Tom smiled and said, "I hope you get assigned to a college you like. Today is the day school starts, and I believe you will amaze everyone."
"It's just that the appearance is a bit better. I don't think everyone is that shallow, right?"
An untimely voice rang out. A petite figure blocked Gemini's path.
Hermione stood in front of Gemini with her arms crossed. She turned her small face away, trying her best to appear nonchalant, but her gaze couldn't help but drift to Gemini's face.
"Good morning, Miss Granger," Gemini nodded slightly. "If I remember correctly, today is the day school starts. You are here…"
"Yes, today is the day school starts!"
Hermione nodded and looked at Gemini seriously. "Considering it's your first time going to Hogwarts, my parents were worried you might not be able to find King's Cross Station smoothly, so they decided to pick you up along the way. I didn't expect you to come downstairs at nine o'clock. Do you know how long we've been waiting here? Mr. Lyle—"
Gemini tilted his head and calculated, then looked at Hermione again. "It's not on the way from the suburbs to King's Cross Station to here."
"Shut up! Am I discussing whether it's on the way with you?" The little girl immediately bristled at his words.
"I'm very sorry."
"I don't need your apology!"
Behind Hermione, Mr. Granger, with a hint of amusement, pulled her to his side. He looked at Gemini with admiration. "Hermione was very worried about whether you could catch the train smoothly, so we decided to come pick you up. You don't mind us meddling, do you?"
Gemini nodded gently. "Of course not, thank you very much for your concern."
Holding Hedwig, Gemini got into Mr. Granger's car. Hermione, arms crossed, was still huffing with anger.
"I really can't believe that in a month, you didn't even send me a single letter! I mean, we're classmates, right? You not only lied to me, but you also stood me up, and I was still worried about you missing the train!"
In the passenger seat, Mrs. Granger chuckled. Gemini sat in the back, looking embarrassed.
"Gemini, what did you learn from this?" Mrs. Granger asked, turning around. "For example, how to interact with girls?"
Gemini thought for a moment, then pondered, tapping his chin. "Don't lie to girls, or they'll remember it forever."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. and Mrs. Granger burst into laughter. Hermione's face turned red with anger, and she trembled with cold.
Finally, amidst the laughter of Mr. and Mrs. Granger, they got out of the car and arrived at King's Cross Station. It was already ten o'clock, and in an hour, the Hogwarts Express would depart from here, heading to Hogwarts.
