Chapter 11: Hogwarts Life Week
As soon as the sky broke, Augustus walked out of the dark and luxurious Slytherin dormitory, and the few Slytherin freshmen who had just risen along the way took the initiative to greet Augustus, and Augustus nodded in response.
Walking through the icy Slytherin Lounge, you'll be greeted by huge pontoons scattered throughout Hogwarts. There are a total of one hundred and forty-two staircases at Hogwarts. Some of them are wide and large; Some are narrow, small, and wobbly; Some go to different places every Friday; Some of them will disappear halfway up, and you have to remember where to jump over them. In addition, there are many doors that will not open for you if you unceremoniously ask them to open them, or poke them in the right place; Other doors weren't real doors at all, just sturdy walls that looked like doors. It's hard to remember what's in what place, because everything seems to be constantly moving. The people in the portrait also constantly visit each other, and even the armor can walk.
In Augustus's opinion, the entire Hogwarts Castle is indeed extremely exquisitely made, with endless secret passages, interesting magical creatures, and the castle's magical system, all of which are undoubtedly more peculiar and full of imagination and imagination than the original magic academy in the otherworld.
After a few days of learning more about the castle, Augustus was not only more sure that the person who built Hogwarts Castle must have been a genius, but also knew the secret passages and structures of the castle. For the average student, it takes dozens of minutes to get to class, but with the effect of Augustus's clever use of various secret passages and dizzying complex floating ladders, it only takes a few minutes to reach the classroom, so almost every class Augustus will sit in the classroom in advance and wait for everyone.
There are many Hogwarts courses, even for first-year freshmen, there are many courses, but for learning to learn from other magic systems, even the lowest basic courses, Augustus is never too troublesome, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and any great career and achievement cannot be achieved overnight. As a mage who had almost stepped into the realm of the gods in his previous life, Augustus knew the importance of basic knowledge for growth.
Every Wednesday evening, they are taken to a classroom to observe the stars with a telescope and learn the names of different stars and their orbits. Augustus has always been very interested in the movement of the stars in this world, and what surprised him was that although they were in different worlds, the structure and operation of the galaxies in the two worlds were surprisingly consistent, and sure enough, the mystery and wonder of the universe were always an unsolvable problem.
Of course, Hogwarts' herbalism and the history of magic also have a unique charm, and Professor Sprone seems to like Augustus, who has always been polite and inquisitive, and answers every question asked by Augustus, and Augustus's perfect answers to her questions always make her add more house points to Slytherin without hesitation. Of course, with Professor Binns the Ghost, every student is the same in his eyes, and it's hard to make an old ghost who has been through an unknown number of years of students interested in a student, and maybe he can't even remember the names of his own students.
In fact, Augustus was most interested in Charms, Transfiguration, Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Potions. These four courses are almost the cornerstone of this magic system, and if they can fully penetrate their essence and the fields they extend, the magic system of this world can roughly form a magic tree in Augustus's heart, allowing Augustus to break it down and summarize it more clearly.
The teacher of the Charms class was a surprisingly small male teacher, Professor Flitwick, who was interested in some of the theories of magic spells that Augustus put forward by answering questions inadvertently, although he didn't know where Augustus's novel magical theories came from, Professor Flitwick praised them, and in addition to giving Slytherin more house points, he also promised to teach Augustus some complex magic spell theories in his spare time.
Professor McGonagall's new Slater students in class are more well-behaved, and in addition to being a little afraid of the strict professor, they are more of an anticipation of the magical Transfiguration class. In front of the crowd, Professor McGonagall turned the lectern into a pig and headed back, to the students who were eager to learn the magic, and Professor McGonagall regretfully told them that it was a spell that would take a long time to learn. After jotting down a lot of intricate notes, she handed each one a match and began to try to turn them into a needle. Almost as soon as Professor McGonagall made his request, Augustus naturally turned it into a perfect needle, and before Professor McGonagall could find out, Malfoy shouted out loudly. Professor McGonagall looked at Augustus in amazement, and did not hesitate to add twenty points to Slytherin, a simple first lesson, but for the first time in her teaching career.
Of course, Defence Against the Dark Arts is a course that everyone has been looking forward to, but what they didn't expect was that when it came time to class, Professor Quirrell's class almost became a joke, and the classroom where he was teaching was filled with a foul smell of garlic, and in the face of a somewhat weak Professor Quirrell, Malfoy often dramatically asked embarrassing questions, such as wearing a big scarf for why it was so hot, could it be prickly heat. Or laughing loudly at Goul Crabbe's often nervous stuttering of Professor Quirrell, and if it weren't for Augustus looking at the professor so pitifully and suppressing Malfoy, the class would have almost been filled with the malicious laughter of the Slytherin students. In fact, Augustus always felt that something was wrong with this slightly weak Professor Quirrell, and after observing with an inquiring eye, he didn't find anything strange, and Augustus suppressed this strange feeling, after all, for a mage, feeling never becomes the basis for judging things. Putting aside this instinct, which Augustus thought was a delusion, Augustus began to read carefully the information in the book about the dark magic of this world. In fact, the so-called black magic in this world is nothing compared to the real dark magic in Augustus's original world, and the truly evil necromancy or dark spells that summon demons in the otherworldly world are absolutely unimaginable to the people of this world.
Time passed quickly, and by Friday, the week's classes were almost over, and Augustus, who had already adapted to this simple wizarding life, sat at the table, eating a fine breakfast, with Malfoy's standard sarcastic voice in his ears, and the angry expressions of Harry and Ron at the other table in his eyes, Augustus showed a helpless smile somewhat habitually.
"Draco, what's going on today?" Augustus finished his breakfast and turned his head to interrupt Malfoy's tirade of taunts.
Malfoy was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then a happy expression suddenly appeared on his face: "It should be a Potions class with the Gryffindor students, there must be a good show to watch now!" ”
Looking at Malfoy, who was beginning to be inexplicably excited, Augustus patted his forehead and turned away from the table.
