Harry quite enjoyed the next few weeks staying in Diagon Alley. The shopkeepers were quite friendly with him and more than willing to humor him when he stopped to chat. There were always new and interesting people to watch coming and going from the stores and places of interest about. And Harry was happy to be around magical people again who understood what he was interested in and what he was talking about.
His two favorite places to stop at were the local ice cream parlor and the quidditch shop. At the ice cream parlor he often got a free Sunday to go with his lunch and interesting conversation with the store owner about the history of the magical world. The man knew quite a lot about the witch burnings that Harry was supposed to be studying and unlike his actual history professor the man could make his topics sound very fascinating and engaging.
At the quidditch shop Harry had a chance to ogle all the latest in racing broomsticks innovations. Harry had always loved to fly and owned a Nimbus 2000, a superb broom that offered incredible speed and maneuvering capabilities in the air. But his Nimbus was two years old now and newer brooms had come out that surpassed it. The very best of these was the new Firebolt, a high quality, hand crafted, fine tuned, carefully engineered apparent super broom that put everything that had come before it to shame. Every single one of these brooms boasted that it was custom made and fine tuned to get the absolute best performance possible for the customer.
Harry was sorely tempted to get one. He did have cash to spend as his parents had left him a tremendous inheritance for him that was safely stored away in the great wizarding bank Gringotts. But the price of a Firebolt was so great that the store couldn't even display it, and Harry simply couldn't justify that kind of expense when his current broom was more than sufficient for his needs.
Being in Diagon Alley made it very easy for Harry to finish his preparations for the new school year. He was able to easily find and buy all of his school supplies and had an easy time finishing his homework. In fact Harry was now far ahead of where he had ever been before when it came to his academics. Not having to hide that he was doing magic from his relatives made things so much easier. Also since he was surrounded by wizards and witches he could not only easily ask for help with any problem he had trouble understanding, but it also meant that he was free to use magic without violating the statute of under age wizardry. Well technically he was violating that statute and quite often at that, but with so many adult wizards around him the ministry couldn't prove that the magic they detected going off around his wand actually came from him or not, so Harry was free to practice magic as he wished.
The biggest boon to Harry's academics however was the fact that he now shared his head with a bit of a nerd. Esharry firmly believed in the power of knowledge and urged Harry to spend as much time as Harry could stand with his nose in a textbook or a spell book. And Harry could hardly argue with him.
It will take an advanced bit of magic to save us from ceremorphosis. Esharry pointed out when Harry first balked at the notion of reading ahead in the standard book of spells grade 3. To practice advanced magic we need to know the basics first, but the sooner we get through those basics the sooner we can get to the advanced stuff that will save our lives.
Harry replied that he thought they had years to find that cure but Esharry answered him. I think we have years, we might only have one. We won't know until the process really starts to begin and by then it might be too late. Better to start now.Luckily Esharry made the process of studying much more enjoyable. He couldn't study on Harry's behalf, for while Harry could draw on Esharry's memories and he on his, they were separate and it took longer to sort through the others memories than their own. So both of them had to study the same book to learn the same thing. But doing so together made it much easier to focus, it was hard for Harry's mind to wander while a voice in the back of his head was chanting along with him through the words on the page.
Additionally Esharry possessed an incredible talent for finding the most practical information that was to be found in their textbooks. Harry's school books didn't just include their spells and how to cast them, but also who first discovered them, why they had been developed, how to counter them, when someone might want to use them, when they wouldn't and what they might want to use instead if they didn't. Often all of this information was jumbled together in a confusing mess. And often the description of one spell might contain information on a few others that were similar or had similar uses. Esharry was very good at shifting through all of this fluff to find the specifics of how to actually do the spell and use it well.
For instance, Harry's new defense against the dark arts textbook was mostly focused on different dangerous creatures a wizard might encounter. Esharry quickly noticed that while some of those creatures had specific charms that were designed to counter them, like the boggart and the riddikulus charm or the dementor and the patronus charm, others just had a list of jinxes, hexes and curses that a wizard could just throw at the creature while trying to get away. Some of these spells were quite advanced and so had only a little information about them, like the patronus charm, but others were described in detail like the confringo blasting charm and the incarcerous binding hex. A few did seem to be too advanced for this age level of the book, but enough information about them was scattered throughout the book that Esharry and Harry were able to piece together how they worked. Their biggest success in this was figuring out the expulso explosive curse, one of the few spells powerful enough to give a fully transformed werewolf pause for thought.
