Harry Potter world, a few days before the start of school, George returned to London from Paris, France. He was staying in the house on the narrow alley.
Hermione went back 15 days earlier than him. His father's dental clinic could not rest for a long time.
Amy returned to London with George; she is to take up a position as the Deputy Director of the International Magical Cooperation Department at the Ministry of Magic.
Unfortunately, Amy is not good at spellcasting without a wand, so he will still have to wait until school starts to learn from Snape.
Amy is quite strong, ranking among the top in the Order of the Phoenix, but she still falls far short compared to the professors at Hogwarts.
Wizards like Snape, Dumbledore, and MacGonagall are few among the wizarding world who can be compared to them. Dumbledore is, without a doubt, the strongest wizard in the entire wizarding world at present.
Voldemort himself would be pushed to the side.
This is why, with his current level of power, he still needs to continue his education at Hogwarts.
Indeed, there are many things worth learning.
Excluding his magic in other worlds, based solely on his level of magic in this world's magical system, it's not particularly powerful.
He has merely learned a multitude of spells by relying on multiple brains to accelerate the process, but in reality, he's only about as skilled as an excellent wizard who just graduated from seventh year, with many magical principles still not fully understood.
At least he can't create new spells like Snape did.
There are many things like the Patronus Charm, Time-Turner Charm, various weather spells and powerful curses that he needs to learn gradually. For example, the Portkey, enchanted cars, Floo Network, and so on.
These have significant effects in various worlds.
Of course, mentioning this doesn't mean that his strength is insufficient. If purely compared to combat power, with the magic from various worlds and his superpowers, Voldemort wouldn't dare to face him head-on.
Even Dumbledore, the battle would result in either winning or losing, who cannot be predicted.
"Little Sirius Black, this guy is pretty formidable too."
On the last day before school, George finished his breakfast and looked at the Daily Prophet's report about Little Sirius Black's escape, expressing a sigh of admiration.
Little Sirius Black had escaped for quite some time. In order to recover its reputation, the Ministry of Magic had moved all its clerks out and yet, there was still no trace of Little Sirius Black.
In truth, the main reason is that the Ministry of Magic was unaware that Little Sirius Black could use Animagus, a form of transformation to become an animal to evade pursuit.
As for Animagus transformations, George had already found the operation steps in the library, but he had never actually tried it.
On one hand, it was too tedious, taking several months at a slow pace, and the fastest way would still take a month to complete.
On the other hand, he considered that transforming into a common animal wouldn't be of much use to him now. He was contemplating whether there would be an opportunity in the future to transform into a magical creature.
Normally, Animagi cannot transform into magical creatures; they can only transform into ordinary animals.
But he considered that if his later duplication in Fairy Tail obtained Dragon Crystal and possessed the physique of a Dragon Slayer, then perhaps there would be a chance for him to transform into a dragon during the Animagus transformation.
And not just the dumb dragons from the Harry Potter world, but the real magical dragons from the Fairy Tail world.
"George, George, are you at home?"
While George was sitting in the yard drinking tea and reading the Daily Prophet, he suddenly heard two familiar voices outside the shop.
Getting up and going to the door, he found that the visitors were none other than Hermione, Ginny, Harry, Ron, and the Weasley twins.
"How did you guys get here?"
He hadn't expected Hermione and the others to come to Diagon Alley to find him, knowing that most proper wizards wouldn't come here, and many young wizards were warned not to come to Diagon Alley.
"We came to find you to go shopping for the new schoolbooks together."
"We both said simultaneously."
Apparently, the Weasley and Granger families had arrived at Diagon Alley this morning. They planned to buy all their school supplies today, check into the Leaky Cauldron in the evening, and leave for the station early tomorrow to avoid any rush.
Fortunately, Harry was also staying at the Leaky Cauldron due to using the Expelliarmus Charm to inflate Mrs. Weasley.
The group gathered together and started talking about George. They heard that George was living in Diagon Alley, so they began to have some thoughts.
The Weasley brothers have always been very interested in Diagon Alley, Hermione and Ginny have some special fondness for George, Harry had visited Diagon Alley once last year but only did so in a hurry and didn't get a good look, and Ron was simply curious.
So the group came to an agreement, pretending to be going to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies, but in reality they quietly came to Diagon Alley.
George could only say that they truly lived up to the name of Gryffindor, with true courage.
"All right, let's go. I actually haven't bought a few books for this year's school supplies yet."
George closed the door and walked with the others directly to Diagon Alley.
He had already read the second-year textbooks, but there were some new ones this year that were different from last year, such as the textbook for the "Fantastic Beasts" class called "The Monster's Monster Book."
"George, I really admire you for being able to live here so safely."
On the way back to Diagon Alley, Ron nervously said to George.
Diagon Alley is not only full of shops with a very spooky layout, but the wizards themselves also appear quite abnormal.
If it weren't for the fact that they had all pulled out wands and were ready to fight back at a moment's notice, they would have been worried about being captured and eaten by the dark wizards here.
"Huh, what's going on all of a sudden?"
Just as Ron spoke, he noticed that the current situation outside was completely different from when they first came in.
When they first came in, even with all of them brandishing wands and threatening, those frightening-looking wizards acted like big wolves encountering a little white rabbit, with greed in their eyes.
However, now that they haven't yet drawn their wands, they see that those wizards just look at them quickly and then run off in fear, as if they are afraid to have anything to do with them.
The greed in their eyes has all turned into fear.
Some of the shops along the street had even closed their doors.
"Oh, it's okay. Most of the wizards here have abnormal minds, maybe they're just having a momentary lapse."
George casually changed the subject.
This situation was naturally closely related to him.
He wasn't just doing nothing in Diagon Alley for the past few days.
In order to avoid the situation of his shop being robbed after he went back to school, he personally visited every shop owner one by one and had a very "friendly" discussion with them.
He didn't miss out on even the dark wizards who frequently came to this street.
After being electrocuted a few times, these dark wizards would now even see his body shaking in fear.
The once feeble slave adopted by the old dark wizard has now completely transformed into the scariest wizard in Diagon Alley.
