“…… Ron, here's your package. When I came back from Hogsmeade just now, as soon as I entered the dormitory, I saw him standing outside the window, pecking at the window! ”

When Ron and Harry returned to their bedroom, Neville immediately pointed to the window. Then they turned their heads and saw an owl, boredly arranging its feathers with its beak.

"My package?" Ron said curiously, "Then why didn't it come to me directly?" ”

"I don't know......," Neville said, "but I've seen the name on the package, and it's yours." ”

"Really?"

Ron shrugged his shoulders quizzically, and headed for the window. As soon as the owl saw the recipient appear, he pecked at the window again, as if he was afraid that Ron would not see it.

"Oh, how long have you been waiting here......" Ron hurriedly pulled open the window so that the little guy wouldn't peck at it, "hmm...... Yes! Merlin is on top, why is she again? ”

"Who?" Harry leaned in and glanced over Ron's shoulder, "Hah! It turned out to be Lavender...... After the last time Neville happened, isn't she dead set on you? ”

"Don't mention that, Harry......" Neville said weakly, "I have a headache when I think about it." ”

"What did he give you? Take it apart and take a look! Harry asked casually as he turned to pack up his things and get his homework ready for dinner later.

But Ron shook his head decisively and threw the package on the table by the wall.

"Forget it!" He grumbled, "You can guess if you don't have to look at it, it must be some kind of sweet and greasy snack...... Whatever she likes, she always stubbornly thinks that others will like it too! Well...... If anyone wants to eat it, take it for yourselves. ”

"I don't want to eat it," Harry pouted, "I've had too much sweets lately, and now I just want to eat salty ones...... Let's go! After a little more in the common room, it's time for dinner......"

"I hope there will be French onion soup tonight, I didn't drink it yesterday!" Ron glanced at his bag, planning to come back and tidy it up later.

Neville, on the other side, saw that the two of them were going out, so he hurriedly dropped the textbook in his hand and stood up.

"Hey...... Wait for me! ”

He trotted two steps forward around the bed, then looked back at the package on the table, and then hurriedly followed.

……

Gryffindor's common room has always been the liveliest of the four houses, and the lion cubs are always energetic, and they like to get together and talk nonsense when they have nothing to do.

Today's topic is naturally related to Hogsmeade.

Some people were tasting Duke Honey's new sweets; Some are working on the prank products of Jokowi's joke shop; Others are pushing and coaxing me, and it is said that a boy with average family conditions has finally taken his little girlfriend to Madame Paddev's teahouse for a date.

Of course, there is also a small topic of conversation today, and that is Alexander Wolfe, a freshman who was punished for cleaning the library all afternoon.

For the adventurous Gryffindors, being punished is not necessarily a shame. Although it is always a little unpleasant to be deducted from the house because of this, it also means that the student who was punished must have done something enough to alarm the professor.

“…… Alexander, did you really use the Leg Lock Charm? I didn't expect you to be so powerful, we've just learned how to cast a levitation charm! ”

Around Alexander's round table, there were students from all grades—of course, the most of them were the first-year students.

"That's really nothing...... Alexander waved his hand repeatedly, "as long as you are willing to try, you can definitely cast it smoothly!" If it's awesome, it's Hufflepuff's Ens, he's already practicing the second-year disarming charm! ”

Perhaps it was because Maca's rapid progress had invisibly brought about a super-paced learning atmosphere at Hogwarts, so that Alexander's rhetoric did not cause everyone to be overly surprised.

In fact, there are students in every grade trying to challenge the knowledge and application of higher difficulty, but it must require both talent and diligence to have more significant gains, so no one has shown relatively outstanding performance.

At this time, in the praise of his classmates, even if Alexander's character was quite modest, he couldn't help but be a little happy. After all, my hard work has been recognized by everyone, and this feeling is naturally great.

In addition, he is indeed very fond of magic, and the thought that he seems to have a talent for this area suddenly makes him even more motivated.

"Ens is right today," he couldn't help but think to himself, looking at the excited classmates around him, "If I could have learned earlier, I really shouldn't have dragged it until the second grade...... Professor McLean also started to teach himself very early! ”

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch his pocket, and his heart was slightly entangled.

And at this moment, as there was another sound of footsteps at the staircase leading to the dormitory, the little wizards who were close to this side all subconsciously glanced back. Alexander was also sitting here, and when he saw his classmates looking over, he also craned his neck and looked through the gap in the crowd.

It soon became clear that it was Harry and Ron who had come out, followed by Neville.

Alexander pursed his lips and pinched his pocket again with his right hand, trying to stand up after holding back for a moment. But before he could stand up straight, a voice stopped him.

"Harry, Ron...... Oh, and Neville? Hermione, who was sitting on the other side, beckoned, "Come here, I have something I want to discuss with you!" ”

"Alexander, what's wrong?"

Hearing the suspicious inquiries of his classmates, Alexander noticed that his half-squatting and half-standing movements seemed very strange.

"Oh, no...... It's nothing. He hurriedly sat back, "I just look at the time." ”

Because of the "plan" that Ens spoke of this afternoon, Alexander now felt awkward.

To be honest, he doesn't really want to use others as test subjects, which is very inconsistent with his personality concept. But for various reasons, he couldn't help but feel that Enns's idea was indeed very tempting at the moment.

So, in a situation where the whole body was not happy, Alexander finally casually talked to his classmates and barely mixed up until dinner time came. After that, the big guys called their friends and walked to the auditorium downstairs in groups.

As soon as he arrived in the auditorium, Alexander was dragged into the corridor next to him by the door, and the kid, who was the maker of the drug trial plan, was obviously anxious to know the progress of the operation.

"How? Is it given to him? Did he eat it? Ens asked in a whisper as he looked at the crowd outside the hallway, seeing that no one was looking.

Alexander shook his head.

"No," he said absentmindedly, "yes...... Didn't find the right time. ”

"What time are you looking for?" Engston rolled his eyes, "Timing is not found, it's created!" Didn't they have a good relationship with that McLean? Since you said you knew McLean, wasn't that just an opportunity? ”

"Even if you say that......," Alexander said helplessly, "besides, it's a sixth-grade ......."

"What happened to sixth grade?" Ens pursed his lips and said, "If you want me to see, the whole of Hogwarts is the best fool of Neville Longbottom, you just have to try, you can do it!" Listen to me, you take the initiative to talk at the dinner table in a moment......"

"Okay, okay, can't I go?" Alexander sighed, "If that elixir really has any side effects, you can wait to owe me a favor!" ”

"If it's okay, then we'll make a lot of money!" Ens said nonchalantly, "Let's go...... Go, go, go! ”

With that, Ens pushed Alexander out of the hallway, and then walked into the side porch doorway to prepare for the meal.

Not far behind him, Alexander glared at Enns' back and reluctantly followed.

It wasn't long before the students and faculty were seated in the auditorium, and as Professor McGonagall announced the start of dinner, the empty plates on the table were filled with food as usual. Everyone who had been flying all day on Saturday was already hungry, and as soon as they saw the food in front of them, everyone hurriedly raised their knives and forks to eat.

Because of Ens's urging before, Alexander deliberately picked a seat diagonally opposite Neville today. But now looking at each other, another round of hesitation began in my heart.

Yes, almost half of everyone at Hogwarts knows that Neville Longbottom is a boy who has always been confused. Even though he is tall and big now, his personality has not changed much, and he either forgets anything or stumbles on weekdays, giving people a clumsy feeling.

In fact, even the younger students love to make little jokes with him.

However, it was all innocuous play, and it was fundamentally different from the drug trial plan that Enns had come up with. Although Alexander was attracted by the alluring effect of the elixir, he could not let go of the knots in his heart, and even if he wanted to get up and talk, he could not open his mouth.

He hesitated for a moment, then glanced up at the Hufflepuff table. Not surprisingly, he immediately saw Ens gesturing at him, signaling him to hurry up.

"Alexander?"

From Alexander's side, Anns was right next to Harry's head, probably because he had been looking over there for a long time, and Harry thought Alexander had something to say to him!

Hearing Harry call himself, Alexander hurriedly turned his gaze away from Enns.

"Huh? Oh......" he paused, and finally said as if the ducks were on the shelves, "the ...... I've heard that you and Professor McLean are familiar with each other, huh...... Can you tell me a little bit about his life? ”
