001 The little troubles in life
For Lawrence. For Rowander, his current 13-year-old life has always been full of all kinds of troubles, in addition to the annoying whispers in his ears from time to time, what bothers him is his amazing memory, he has a complete memory from birth as a baby to the present, for the average person, this may be a warm and touching memory, but he would rather never be able to recall,
Of course, the biggest problem for him at this stage may come from the Weasley twins' endless prank ideas and a tattered piece of parchment, at which point the carriage door is opened, and the Weasley twins push the door in.
"Hey, Lawrence," said one of the twin brothers, "how was the summer vacation?"
"Hey, George," Lawrence didn't look up, carefully studying the tattered parchment in his hand, "the same old as before, in the orphanage."
"Didn't Mr. Ollivanders want you to be an apprentice? Also, I'm Fred, not George."
"Oh, you're George, and I've been busy researching this thing this summer." Lawrence raised the parchment in his hand, but he remembered the first time he walked into the Ollivanders wand shop, and the room was full of wands, and he couldn't help but shudder,
"How did you tell that this time?" Fred and George looked at each other in surprise, the twin brothers have always failed in Lawrence's tried-and tried prank moves since they became sensible,
Lawrence didn't answer, just took out his wand and tapped the parchment, but judging by his expression, it seemed to fail again,
"I swear solemnly that I have no ill intentions. (Note 1)" Fred took out his wand and poked it lightly on the parchment, where the wand touched, thin ink lines intertwined into a map of Hogwarts, and it could be seen that since the students had not yet arrived at the school, the black dots on the map were very scarce, and it felt very deserted.
"No matter how many times I watch it, I think it's different." George excitedly patted the map he had obtained in the first grade.
"But I just want to understand how this thing works." Lawrence frowned, staring carefully at the small black dots representing different characters on the map and the cursive names underneath,
"Leave this incomprehensible question alone, Lawrence." Fred took the map from Lawrence's hand and whispered, "The prank is complete."
"It's easy to wrinkle if you frown all the time." George went on to say,
"It makes you look a little melancholy." Fred folded the map and put it in his pocket,
"But maybe the melancholy Lawrence is also liked by a lot of girls?" George winked at Fred,
"Is that the secret of your popularity?" Fred looked at George with a look of sudden realization,
"That's just asking for homework, what's popular?" Lawrence said with some embarrassment,
"Asking you with a fortune-telling homework?" George said, "I thought you were a third-grader like us?"
"We must have misunderstood George," said Fred, "and then one came running up with a divination homework and asked, Lawrence must be in fourth grade by now." (Note 2)
"It's a lot of fun." Lawrence gave up his defense and picked up "Today's Metamorphosis" on the side and opened it to read (Note 3)
"Don't look at this kind of thing that ordinary people can't understand." Fred said, "Actually, we need a little favor from you."
"It's just a small favor, for you." George assures,
"Prank?" Lawrence asked keenly,
"A little bit of excitement." George nodded in the affirmative,
"To add a little joy to life." Fred added,
Lawrence sighed, closed the brick book that even a seventh-grader might not understand, although he always complained that his twin brother caused him a lot of trouble, including carrying out or planning all kinds of pranks or labor services, but in his heart he couldn't deny that he did enjoy it,
"Here's the thing." Fred knew Lawrence had agreed, "Not so long ago."
"We said goodbye to our dear mother and our lovely little Ginny on the platform," said George.
"Evading Percy's supervision," Fred said, "with Ron and his new buddy Harry. Potter said hello."
"Wait, which Harry Potter?" Lawrence couldn't help but interrupt Fred and George, who were singing together, and asked,
Fred and George looked at each other,
"Lawrence......" George had a strange expression, "You're interested in Harry Potter?"
"Very curious." Lawrence affirmed that he survived the Curse, and what was even more bizarre was that there was a scar on his head, and that the Curse had never left any scars on record.
"Oh...... Oh my God." Fred said, "No wonder so many girls are not interested in you, it turns out that ......" George had a look of sudden realization,
Lawrence was speechless, cast two silence spells as fast as he could, and then reopened the book of "Today's Transfiguration",
"......" The twin brothers, who couldn't speak and weren't familiar with how to cast spells silently, could only look at Lawrence,
Lawrence, who was stared at uncomfortably, had no choice but to lift the spell, but as soon as the spell was lifted, Fred crossed his hands to his chest and asked with a frightened expression, "Do you think the two of us will be in danger, George?"
"That's enough, I'm sexually normal, thank you for your concern." Lawrence growled,
"Don't do that, Lawrence," said George earnestly, "we don't discriminate against homosexuals."
"But don't make us targetsβ" Fred saw Lawrence gesture and raise his wand, and immediately changed the subject wisely, "After saying hello, we came to the central compartment."
"At this time, our good roommate Lee. Jordan is showing off how big his newly gotten furry spider is." George grinned, "What would you do if it were you?"
"Let him be bigger?" Lawrence laughed too,
"The spider doesn't look moving." George added,
"What makes it so excited to run around when it gets bigger?" Lawrence touched his chin and responded with a wicked smile,
"This has to come secretly, Lee. Jordan will be wary when he sees us." Fred anticipates the situation,
"If you don't have an invisibility cloak, use the Transfiguration Charm?" Lawrence proposes a solution,
"We need your help, Lawrence." Fred said solemnly, the expression that seemed to be that of Professor McGonagall in class,
"Gladly." Lawrence responded with a smile,
"I'm in charge of zooming in on that little fluffy one, and Fred is in charge of getting it running around with excitement." George carefully assigned the work, "Lawrence, in addition to helping yourself cast the Illusion Spell with us, the other two spells must be cast to prevent us from failing."
"So." Fred took out his wand,
"Let's." George also took out his wand,
"The prank begins." Lawrence raised the wand he was already holding, the tips of the wands of the three people touched lightly, and a little spark appeared, and the next second, Lawrence waved his wand, and the three figures disappeared into the carriage, and the carriage door was opened and closed by an invisible hand.

"Let me see, let me see." "Open it up, open it up."
Plum. Jordan enjoyed the crowd watching, while tirelessly closing the small box and opening it again, every time the lid was opened, there were always boys' excited shouts and girls' screams that couldn't tell whether they were excited or scared, no one noticed, the door of the central compartment was quietly opened,
"Don't close the door." Lawrence whispered, "Keep the retreat path smooth."
"Do you want to lock the door on the other side?" George asked quietly,
"Lock it." Fred seconded without thinking,
"You can lock it, but you have to move quickly when you retreat, and when they find that one side of the door is locked, they will rush to the door on this side." Lawrence, on the other hand, thinks bigger, "Be careful not to."
George cautiously sideways evaded the crowd and locked the door on the other side with his wand, and then returned to this side.
"Seize the moment, wait for the next time the lid is opened, I say do it, whether the spell succeeds or not, George, you wait to retreat to the toilet outside our carriage, and Fred and I will go back to the carriage first." Lawrence arranged the retreat plan,
At this time, Li did not know that the catastrophe was coming. Jordan opened the lid again at the urging of everyone,
"Do it!"
The spell streaked four rays of light through the carriage, one striking an onlooker, and one striking Lee. Jordan, two accurately hit the spider in the small box,
Before the three of them escaped from the carriage, they saw the frightened student who had been hit by George and his head was abnormally enlarged, and Lee, who had been mistakenly shot by Fred. Jordan was surprised at first, and then excitedly grabbed the huge spider that was magnified by Lawrence at least ten times and ran around excitedly, and the people who were stupid when they found that one side of the door was locked, and more people screamed and rushed to the car door that was not closed.
"Okay, stop laughing, retreat."
The prank trio laughed unabashedly, after all, the scene was chaotic and full of screams, and no one would notice that there were three invisible people laughing.
By the time the prefects in the prefect's carriage arrived to solve the problem, the trio had already retreated according to the plan.

Just as Fred and Lawrence were back in the box and seated, and Lawrence opened Transfiguration Today again, Percy opened the box door with a bang, glared at them and asked "Where did George go?"
"Looking for me?" At this time, George poked his head out of the toilet outside the box and looked at Percy with a puzzled expression,
Percy's expression changed from angry to confused, and he slammed the door shut.
George returned to the carriage, and the three of them looked at each other and laughed, took out their wands, and touched the tip lightly, and a little spark appeared.
"The prank is complete."

Note 1: Many translations of the mainland version are not the same as those in Taiwan, and the physical book is not at hand, and I have a hard time checking it on the Internet, generally I will use the mainland version of the translation, after all, most of the mainlanders here read it, but here I think the Taiwanese version of the translation is better, so I will use the Taiwanese version of the translation Luo, and in the future, I will deal with the same situation as if I encounter it, but if you don't understand it, you can react with me, and I will try to improve.
Note 2: This is wrong with the original age, and then I thought that the twins would not be in the seventh year until Harry's fifth year, and Diggory would be one year older than the twins.
Note 3: Transfiguration Today is from the second chapter of the seventh episode of Harry Potter and is written by Albus. Dumbledore, there is no mention of difficulty in the book, and this is set as a high-level book.
