Harry Potter and the Lovely Love system

Chapter 3

The next day, Harry actually went back to Diagon Alley to continue shopping. Life went on, and of course Harry had to move on with his plans. He liked to think that he was a strong-willed person and that he wouldn't let himself sink too deeply into negative emotions. Sitting around and mourning his miserable fate was not something Harry would do. What happened yesterday was a bit embarrassing for Harry. It was a moment of weakness, and Harry hoped he wouldn't repeat it again.

Madam Malkin was overjoyed when Harry was the first customer to walk into her shop of the day, and ordered a full set of clothes. In addition, he also purchased several Hogwarts school uniforms and other accessories. Harry should have bought more, but after seeing all the things in the store, he could only shake his head and buy that much.

It still cost Harry a lot of money, since he even ordered some dress robes for important occasions, along with dragon hide items like jackets, gloves, boots, belts. The dress robes would be finished early next week, while the dragon hide items would take longer as Harry ordered only Swedish Short-Snout's hide.

Ollivander was a grotesque old man, he spoke in a conspiratorial manner and Harry had no interest in hearing what he had to say. So he quickly chose a suitable wand, paid and left his shop as quickly as possible. So much for those weird people.

Then he quickly bought some cauldrons, phials and other necessary tools from the nearby shops. Harry's mission #2 progress soon completed the "use more than 100 galleons" section, but he wasn't done shopping yet. He still needed to buy a kit of basic potion ingredients. Slug & Jiggers was only a short distance from where he was standing, so Harry chose it to buy potion ingredients, not only the basic kind but also other interesting things Harry had read about. He was already quite interested in the subject, if he had the time and the right place, Harry would probably try brewing some basic potions.

Inside the apothecary was very quiet, with no one but its owner and a tall man dressed in black from head to toe. The moment Harry opened the door and walked in, the man glanced at him. He was a bit bewildered, then turned directly to try to look at Harry, only he completely ignored him and started walking around choosing what he needed to buy.

Of course Harry had noticed the man's gaze, but he was neither interested nor worried. After all, the chances of others recognizing him as Harry Potter were very low. For some reason, the entire wizarding world had come to expect a Harry Potter like a clone of his father, with tan skin and untidy, unruly hair. Before that, Harry would have noticed a bit and put on a hat, but after learning about the strange expectations of people in this world, he gave up and just showed his face as usual.

Harry crouched down and picked up several bottles of Moondew liquid, his bangs falling over half of his face. Harry gently tucked his hair behind his ears revealing his soft and gentle face, like his mother's, along with beautiful green eyes. He didn't need his glasses anymore, yesterday's potion worked really well. Although Harry was still easily dazzled when he was outside, his eyes should be completely healthy after two more uses. Without glasses, Harry's beautiful eyes attracted the eyes of others even more. They were green, and as clear as autumn water, but a little bit cold as ice. It was as if something mysterious was lurking underneath.

"Professor Snape, yours is 188 galleons."

The man came to his senses, he stopped looking at Harry, and turned to pay for the things he had bought. As he was about to leave, Harry took his shopping cart to the checkout.

"I would like to buy these, please. And can you get me a basic first-year Hogwarts kit? Thank you very much."

The man, named Snape, once again looked at Harry in suspicion, but he then turned and left the store, leaving Harry with his own suspicions. Apparently that man was up to something strange. While waiting for the owner, Harry decided to do a little digging in his system. Snape. Snape. And there was a man named Snape. Severus Snape. Harry had never met, and had never known him. Oddly enough, he, like a few others, already had a relationship bar in Harry's system. Only this time it was a bit weirder, as the color of that bar was a mix of gray and red. Hmm, weird, but okay. Having a certain man both love and hate him at 50% was not an unacceptable thing. Harry felt fine. Not his problem. This Snape guy's 50% bonus was pretty okay, not a bad score.
