Chapter 3

In front of Julian was a run-down, cramped pub that Julian probably wouldn't have noticed if Dumbledore hadn't parked nearby.
Looking at the pedestrians passing by, no one seemed to notice the bar.
"Sir, can't they see this bar?" Julian asked incredulously.
- It has a Muggle Repellent Charm on it that prevents Muggles from finding the "Missing Cocktail", and even if they accidentally stumble upon the place, they will suddenly remember something important and leave, isn't that funny?
After that, without waiting for Julian's answer, Dumbledore opened the door of the pub and went inside.
Julian nodded thoughtfully and followed Dumbledore into the bar.
As they entered the pub, the originally bright world quickly darkened. Julian straightened his body, and thanks to his eye wheel blood, the scene before him soon returned to normal.
Julian looked around the interior of this pub, which was said to be very famous throughout the wizarding world.
As a famous place, this pub resembled an underground bounty market as it was dirty and run down.
A small bar, crowded with several old ladies who looked like the ones described in fairy tales; some seemed to be knitting something, others were smoking long pipes, and some were drinking something from dirty old glasses.
As soon as they entered, the conversations stopped.
Everyone here looked at Dumbledore with respect and awe, as if he were some kind of influential person, which, in fact, was true.
"Hello, Professor Dumbledore, hello!" the young man exclaimed with delight, bowing to Dumbledore.
"Good day, Mr. Farmas," Dumbledore replied politely.
The boy was as excited as if he had received a candy and continued to smile at them.
"Hello, Dumbledore, long time no see!" said the older man, who looked to be the same age as Dumbledore, and nodded to him.
- Oh, Marcus, long time no see. Have you decided to drag your old bones out of your lab?
Dumbledore said this with a little surprise.
- Oh, of course, I need to take a little walk. Maybe one day you won't see me. Is this a new student this year, Dumbledore?
- Oh, yes, this is Mr. Julian Vulles, new this year. Julian, this is Marcus, a very famous potions master, and his potions always amaze people.
"Hello, Mr. Marcus," Julian greeted politely.
- A very polite young man, seems like a good seed. I brew potions in my laboratory all year round, little one, and rarely go out for a walk. Since we have met, it means that fate has brought us together. This is my latest newest potion, and I give it to you.
After these words, he handed Julian a small bottle with a golden liquid.
When Marcus was about to give Julian the bottle of potion, Dumbledore looked a little surprised and curious.
He wondered why this leader in the potions world was so optimistic about a young man who was just about to enter school.
Although Julian did not know what this golden potion was, Dumbledore knew full well that it was a seduction potion of excellent quality.
The seduction potion has always been a sought-after commodity in the wizarding world. As its name suggests, the seduction potion increases the magical power of a wizard.
This increase is not temporary, but permanent, and does not drain the wizard's potential, so a small bottle of seduction potion is equivalent to the wizard's ability to have more resources than his peers. As for how much it can increase, it depends on the quality of the potion and the luck of the wizard.
But the potion that increases magic has a drawback: it can only be taken once per lifetime.
However, even the most basic magic boosting potions cost thousands of Galleons, so there is no market for them, let alone high-quality potions.
So one can understand how valuable this gift from Marcus is.
Julian looked at Marcus, then at Dumbledore, but did not reach for the potion.
Julian was no longer a child, and although Marcus looked casual, he could tell from the look on Dumbledore's face that this potion must be very valuable, so valuable that it would surprise even Dumbledore, the Headmaster of Hogwarts.
He knew that if you want to get something, you have to give something. A stranger he met less than five minutes ago comes up to him and gives him a bottle of potion that looks precious. I think no one can help but wonder.
- Nothing comes for free, Mr. Marcus. I am very pleased that you gave me the potion, but we are strangers and have only just met, and I cannot understand at all why you want to give me such a precious bottle of potion.
Dumbledore, who seemed to have just recovered from his surprise at Marcus's gift, turned to Julian:
- Take it. Marcus is a very famous potion master. His potion is very useful for any wizard. As for what kind of potion it is, you will find out when you enter Hogwarts and study potion making. Know that he rarely gives his potions to anyone, even for me it is very difficult to get his potions, not to mention such precious potions.
Dumbledore clearly didn't want to name the potion in a crowded bar.
- Take it, little one. I have no other intentions towards you. I just like you, so I give you this bottle of potion. As for the effect of this potion, let Dumbledore tell you, I am an old man, it is time for me to go back.
After these words, he thrust the potion into Julian's hand and disappeared.
Julian looked at Dumbledore, who was waiting for an explanation about the potion.
Dumbledore didn't explain much, but walked over to Tom, the owner of the bar.
- Tom, give Mr. Woolles a room until he gets to Hogwarts.
- Well, Professor Dumbledore, glad to be of service to you.
Tom then led Dumbledore and Julian up to the second floor of the bar, chose a sunny room, opened the door and let them in, then handed Dumbledore the key as he left.
- Come on, Julian, drink the potion that Marcus gave you, such a precious potion is not subject to running, although I don't know why Marcus so generously gave you such a precious bottle of potion, but I guess it definitely won't harm you, huh?
With a mischievous smile, Dumbledore took out his wand, cast several spells on the room and suggested that Julian drink the potion quickly.
However, Julian was in no hurry to take the potion, but looked at Dumbledore with bewilderment and said:
- Professor, you haven't told me what this potion is. I can't just take something I don't know anything about.
- Oh, I'm so sorry, Julian. Please forgive my carelessness and haste, I'll just explain to you what it is.
After all these words, Dumbledore seemed to calm down and began to explain the bottle of seduction potion.
When Dumbledore finished explaining, Julian looked at the potion in his hand and his eyes filled with desire.
Julian knew how difficult it was to cultivate magic power. He used the chakra cultivation method to cultivate magic power, but the results achieved were very slow and limited.
If he can drink this bottle of magic potion, it will greatly shorten his growth time.
It should be known that in his past life, Yulian was already in ANBU at this age, which meant that Yulian was at least an elite Chunin back then.
Looking at the current Julian, he can only reach the Chunin level (the ninja level referred to in this article refers to the amount of chakra, not the actual strength). The strength is too weak, he may not be able to defend himself.
(Julian is just getting to know the magical world, so he doesn't really understand the extent of his current power, but he has carried his own power into the ninja world.)
It's really cool that you can increase your magic power by taking magic boost potions without damaging your core.
"Professor, let's begin," Julian said impatiently.
"Okay," Dumbledore nodded softly, then gestured for Julian to sit on the bed and began to take the potion.
Julian couldn't wait to sit on the bed, unscrewed the bottle cap and poured it into his mouth, then quietly closed his eyes.
As the potion passed down his throat, Julian felt a warm rush spread through his body.
The magical power in his body also grew steadily under the influence of the medicine, and the speed was very fast, tens of thousands of times faster than his own cultivation.
Julian consciously directed this warm flow to practice according to the usual method of chakra cultivation, and the speed became faster.
While Julian calmly consumed the potion, time passed unnoticed.
Almost at noon, Julian woke up from practice, and the effect of the potion pleased. Julian's magic power reached the level of Jonin chakra.
Although this is Jonin's first level, he immediately leveled up, and the result was quite satisfactory.
Feeling a surge of magical power in his body, Julian's eyes sparkled with joy, but this feeling quickly subsided.
Dumbledore looked at the child in front of him, who was in awe of his increased magical power, and his thoughts went back to more than 50 years ago, when there was a boy just like Julian.
They were so similar, both in their backgrounds, their polite treatment of people, and certainly in talent, but that boy went down the path of seeking power, which ultimately led to his downfall.
The child in front of him must not repeat the same mistakes as Tom, he must not, looking at the boy in front of him, Dumbledore made a secret decision.
"Professor, is everything all right?" Julian, with good instincts, soon noticed that Dumbledore was staring at him in bewilderment.
- Oh, of course not, I beg your pardon for an old man who often falls into thought. How do you feel, Mr. Woolles?
Dumbledore, having come to his senses a little, quickly apologized and asked.
- I feel quite well, Professor Dumbledore. My magical powers have increased considerably. And, Professor Dumbledore, please call me Julian. I feel uncomfortable when you call me Mr. Woolles.
- Okay, Julian, now that you've absorbed the full power of the potion, I think we can go and buy what you need. You'll also need to order some robes, which will take a long time to make.
After finishing this, they both walked into the backyard of the Lost Cocktail. The backyard was very neglected, except for a trash can and a bunch of grass, there were only bare and uneven brick walls on all sides.
Dumbledore walked up to the brick wall and, counting the bricks, said to Julian:
- Count three up and two down, okay, step back, Julian.
The bricks Dumbledore was tapping began to spin rapidly and quickly gave way on either side. After a while, an archway opened up in front of them, large enough for two people to pass through, leading to an ancient street that seemed to be full of people.
Shops were set up on both sides of the street, not knowing what to sell.
The whole street was filled with the sounds of shouts, trade disputes and women's complaints. All this appeared before Julian very unexpectedly.
Looking at the confused Julian, Dumbledore said tenderly:
- Welcome to Diagon Alley, welcome to the magical world.
