Chapter 3: Dobby's Assistance
Upon seeing Dobby up close, Harry confirmed once again that he was indeed in the world of Harry Potter, encountering a real magical creature rather than a CGI creation.
"Dobby," Harry replied, "I summoned you here."
Harry explained to Dobby that he had a list of materials he needed, as he wasn't permitted to go shopping himself. Dobby eagerly agreed to purchase the items for "Great Wizard Harry Potter," and Harry handed him the list:
- 100 milliliters of pure water
- 13 drops of night vanilla liquids
- 7 gold mint leaves
- 3 drops of poison hemlock
- 9 grams of dragon blood grass powder
- 10 milliliters of Lavos Squid’s blood
- 50 grams of Stellar Aqua crystal
Upon reviewing the list, Dobby remarked that some of the materials were uncommon but assured Harry he would do his best to procure them. Harry gave Dobby 50 galleons, and after receiving the money, Dobby vanished from Harry’s room.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
After Dobby left, Harry contemplated his next steps. "It's already morning. Let's plan the day."
"I struggled with magic yesterday. I need to practice to eliminate these difficulties. It's not just for fun; it's about mastering my identity. Let's start with Lumos."
After an hour of practice, Harry felt he had nearly matched the previous owner's skill level with Lumos. He realized that with continued practice, he could regain all of the previous occupant's abilities.
"Now, it's time for breakfast."
"After breakfast, it's study time. Despite having Harry's memories, it feels like external knowledge. I need to understand magic conceptually. Let's begin with the first-year books: Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, History of Magic, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy, and Herbology."
Starting with Potions, Harry focused on learning the basics and the specific rules for potion-making in the Harry Potter universe, distinct from those in 'Lord of Mystery'.
By midday, Harry had grasped some fundamental potion-making rules, including material interactions and stability concerns related to magic levels.
"Time for lunch," Harry decided, "then I'll figure out the next step. Ron and Hermione will be visiting in two to three days."
Returning to his room after lunch, Harry found his snowy owl, Hedwig, perched on the window. Inspired by extraordinary animals from 'Lord of Mystery', Harry wondered if he could turn Hedwig into a Beyonder. However, he realized he didn't remember the sequence formula.
"No problem," Harry thought. "There are ways to recall it, like memory magic or divination."
Just then, Dobby returned with a pop, announcing, "Great Wizard Harry Potter, Dobby has gathered all the materials available in Diagon Alley. Only two items remain to be collected from a black market."
Harry asked about Dobby's plans. "I know a black market where I can get these last two materials," Dobby replied.
"Be careful," Harry cautioned. "Return immediately if anything goes wrong."
"After Dobby returns with the materials, I'll decide where to brew the pot
ion to avoid any issues," Harry concluded.
