Three days later, George successfully obtained a copy of "Manual of Gesture Casting" from the clerk at Flourish and Blotts.
Ten days later, George stood in the yard, pointing his wand at a locked box and chanting, "Alohomora!"
A blue beam of magic shot from the tip of his wand, striking the box precisely.
Most magic, when cast, is accompanied by beams of different colors, especially offensive and directional magic, such as Alohomora, Expelliarmus, and Curse of Slaying.
However, some magic is cast silently, with no obvious signs, like Accio, Repairing Spell, and Levitation Charm.
"Click."
A crisp sound came from the lock, and the clasp automatically sprang open.
"Finally, success."
Seeing this, George's face broke into a satisfied smile.
After ten days of tireless study, coupled with occasional guidance from Tonks, who would drop by for meals, he could finally successfully cast Alohomora.
And through these days of learning, he also knew that he was not some so-called magic genius.
True geniuses are like Hermione, who had no prior contact, no guidance, and while spending most of her time understanding the history and common knowledge of the Magic Society, she still managed to learn several spells with ease before the start of school.
Even more talented are those like Snape, who could create powerful spells of his own during his school days.
As for Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Lord Voldemort, they could no longer be described as geniuses.
But fortunately, he also had his own methods.
Although he said he studied for ten days, in reality, he could say he studied for twenty days.
Because when his body here couldn't sustain any more and needed rest, his main body in the Marvel Universe would take over.
The most important thing in learning magic is talent, followed by diligence; if his talent isn't enough, then diligence will make up for it.
His main body is in the Base, with nothing to do except training, so he has plenty of free time; he can very well find a stick similar to a wand and practice gestures to get the feel of it.
Through continuous practice and understanding, he can accelerate his learning of spells.
As long as he pays attention to avoiding or turning his back to the surveillance, so as not to be discovered, even if he is discovered, it doesn't matter, as no one in that World knows what he is doing anyway.
Once his main body is free in the future, his speed of learning magic will be even faster, because he will have double the time of others to study and research magic.
In fact, if it's not considered cheating, learning a spell in ten days would also be considered a genius among Wizards.
It should be known that most young Wizards, after a year, don't actually master much magic; the worse ones can even only master a few.
"Next is continuous practice of gesture casting until gesture casting is successful, then I can consider the next spell."
After several consecutive experiments, confirming that he had completely mastered Alohomora, George immediately put down his wand and began practicing Alohomora according to the teachings of "Manual of Gesture Casting."
Eight days later, through continuous practice by both his main body and clone, he could finally successfully cast Alohomora without a wand.
However, compared to casting Alohomora with a wand in one or two seconds, casting with gestures instead of a wand generally takes about seven or eight seconds, and even when proficient, it's estimated to be five or six seconds.
If two Wizards were dueling, five or six seconds would be enough for the opposing Wizard to cast three or four offensive spells with a wand.
No wonder this casting method was eliminated.
"August 21st, today is Lockhart's book signing at Flourish and Blotts."
In the morning, George ate breakfast while looking at the date on the magic calendar, slowly calculating in his mind.
He naturally had no interest in that big liar Lockhart, but if he remembered correctly, today was also the day Harry Potter came to Diagon Alley with the Weasley family to purchase school supplies.
After completing his first year of study, Harry returned to his hateful aunt and uncle's house for the summer vacation because the House-elf Dobby was locked up by his uncle and not allowed to attend Hogwarts anymore.
His good friend Ron and the Weasley Brothers secretly drove their father's magic car to pick him up and bring him to The Burrow to live.
"Then let's make contact first."
Ultimately, he still felt he could take the initiative to make contact.
Compared to Lord Voldemort, who would only be resurrected in a few years, he felt that being with Harry and them now would yield greater gains.
Many places and things at Hogwarts, if he wanted to access them, he basically couldn't, but with Harry and them, there would be no problem.
For example, the Restricted Section in the Hogwarts library; it would be almost impossible for him to secretly read the magic books there.
But if he was with Harry, Dumbledore would turn a blind eye, and the same goes for the Room of Requirement.
So, after breakfast, George did not continue to study spells as usual today, but stood by the window in the pharmacy hall and observed outside.
About an hour later, he saw a pair of golden-haired father and son, walking elegantly, enter Borgin and Borgin's shop across the street.
"That should be the Malfoy father and son.
It seems Harry Potter is already in the shop."
Daring to bring a child into Knockturn Alley, at this exact time, plus their expensive Wizard robes and an air of superiority, it was easy to identify their status.
Sure enough, about ten minutes later, shortly after the father and son left Borgin and Borgin's shop, a thin boy with glasses, covered in dust, ran out of the shop in a hurry.
"Where is this?"
Harry stood in the narrow, dark alley, looking at the surrounding shops that seemed to be full of Dark Arts, feeling a bit unnerved.
In the display window of the shop next door, some shrunken human heads were eerily displayed, and two shops down, a large cage in front of the shop door was crawling with huge black spiders.
He turned his head to look into a dark doorway on his right, where two shabbily dressed Wizards were watching him and whispering.
"I need to get out of here quickly, hopefully I can find my way out."
Today was his first time using Floo powder, and something went wrong; he didn't arrive at Diagon Alley but instead came to a terrifyingly strange shop, and he accidentally witnessed the Malfoy father and son's illegal transaction.
"Are you lost?"
Just as he was nervously preparing to avoid that dark doorway and explore in another direction, a steady but slightly childish voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Turning around, he saw a boy as thin as him, but with a very resolute expression, holding a magic book and standing behind him.
"This is Knockturn Alley, a place where Dark Wizards gather; it's not safe for you to be here alone."
"Hello, my name is Harry. I accidentally came here because of Floo powder. I want to go to Diagon Alley."
Perhaps sensing the kindness from the young boy, Harry quickly explained.
George's face also broke into a smile upon hearing this:
"Hello, Harry, my name is George. You must have pronounced Diagon Alley as Knockturn Alley.
But it doesn't matter, they are connected. I'll take you out."
