Chapter 140: How did you become a reckless man
He was still practicing magic as if he was a nobody, and until the first day of school, Mu Du didn't wait for Dumbledore to send someone to retrieve the Philosopher's Stone, which also made him completely relieved.
On the first day of school, Mu Dui, who had nothing to do, arrived at King's Cross Station early in the morning with his luggage.
Although the ticket does not indicate where the so-called platform of Nine and Three-quarters is, Mu Dui, who has watched the movie, naturally does not find a mistake, and soon, he enters the hidden platform through the entrance disguised as a pillar.
Because it came so early, most of the carriages of the entire train were still empty. So Twilight easily found an empty box, put the suitcase in his hand, and sat down.
Of course, he also put the robe on his body in advance when there was no one, and it was inconvenient to change it when there were more people in the back.
"Hello, can I sit here?"
As the departure time approached, more and more people got on the bus, and there were fewer and fewer seats on the bus, and it didn't take long for the box where Mu Dui was located to be also occupied.
And to his surprise, the person who came was actually Hermione.
"Absolutely!" Twilight nodded at her, not paying too much attention to her.
"Thank you..."
Hermione herself was a very haughty little girl, and she didn't know how to communicate with people, so she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Twilight's attitude.
And as she spoke, her attention was drawn to the thick magic book that Mu Du was holding.
"Ancient Forgotten Magic and Spells... This book is not a must-read and optional textbook for our first grade, is it? Hermione asked curiously, struggling to carry her two large boxes.
In the month or so before the start of school, she had finished the entire first-grade tutorial, but she had never seen the book.
"Hmm... Just learn the textbook or something..."Mu Du said with a smile.
The book he was reading, "Forgotten Ancient Magic and Spells", was not included in the first-grade textbook, and he wouldn't even be taught it for the entire seven years of school life, because it was found by Twilight in a bookstore in Tumbledown Alley, next door to Diagon Alley, which specializes in black magic and gray supplies.
It contains many ancient and dangerous spells, and even found in them a powerful black magic spell that can destroy Horcruxes.
That's why Twilight spent 20 gold gallons to buy it.
"You have a point... But I still think that what I want to learn needs to be prepared in advance..."
Mu Du shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and didn't argue with her much, it obviously didn't make sense to do so.
"The box moves—" Seeing Hermione's trouble, Twilight picked up the wand on the table and used a movement charm to help her place the box on the luggage rack.
"This is a movement spell that only a second year will learn!" Hermione's eyes lit up.
"I've seen it on Standard Spell (Level 2), but I didn't expect you to be able to cast it now!"
Hermione's temperament has always been the kind of straightforward thing to say, although she seems a little arrogant, but for those who are stronger than herself, she will really admire each other, so when she saw that Mu Twilight could release the movement spell so skillfully, she already recognized Mu Twilight in her heart.
"I really envy you children from wizarding families..."It is natural that Hermione regarded Twilight as a wizard family.
"No, I'm supposed to be just like you, but I don't know if I'm from a wizarding family, because I've been alone since I was a child." Mu Du closed the magic book and shook his head.
Hermione was stunned for a moment before she reacted.
"Oh my God, I'm sorry, I didn't know about you—"
"It's okay," Twilight waved her hand, "and I'm just interested in spells, and the more I practice, the more I practice." ”
"Too much practice? But isn't the Ministry of Magic strict about the use of magic by underage wizards in the outside world? Hermione asked, puzzled.
"Is that so? I haven't enrolled in school yet, so I don't know..."Ki Twilight smiled and blinked, apparently just pretending not to know.
"Oh my god... You... Aren't you afraid of being caught in Azkaban? I've read in books that this prison is horrible..."Hermione's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Twilight.
"I'm afraid, but have you ever seen in a book that a minor has been caught?"
"This ......"
Hermione smiled wryly, and suddenly had nothing to say.
Maybe it's because she is also a Muggle, or maybe it's because Muslim Twilight is still above her as a peer in magic, and Hermione is actively discussing some magic issues with Twilight along the way.
To be honest, Hermione is a bit straighter, she is a little arrogant and has no other shortcomings, if she can be like Mu Dui, she doesn't have the heart to compare with her at all, and she doesn't care about her accusations from time to time, so it's actually quite easy to get along with.
"Excuse me... Have you seen a toad? ”
While Twilight and Hermione were discussing how to simplify spell pronunciation in spellcasting, a chubby, very honest-looking little boy appeared at the door of the box.
"Sorry, no!" Mu Du glanced at the man and said lightly.
As soon as he looked at the familiar appearance and the plot of the toad, Mu Du naturally recognized Neville Longbottom immediately.
"Have you lost your pet? I'll help you find it! Hermione stood up and said enthusiastically, in the bottom of her heart she was actually quite willing to make friends with people.
"Twilight, will you come too?"
"No, I still have to read—" Twilight shook her head, declining Hermione's invitation.
Although Hermione first came into contact with Harry and Ron in the original book by helping Neville find the toad, he had no intention of intervening in the past.
Being too close to the protagonist will not only have no benefit for the mission he is going to perform, but will seriously hinder him because of the attention of Dumbledore and others.
In fact, if Hermione hadn't taken the initiative to talk to him, even if he sat face-to-face in the same box, he wouldn't want to talk to Hermione.
"Well... All right! Hermione's expression was slightly disappointed.
Because in the exchange just now, Mu Dui's magic skills have been recognized by her, and she really wants to be friends with Mu Dui.
Hermione followed Neville out of the box, and Twilight continued to hold the book of Forgotten Ancient Magic and Spells.
Not only did the book record many very obscure ancient magic, but it also told about their origin and evolution, especially the evolution of the simplified spells, which intrigued him.
It wasn't until the train was about to reach Hogwarts that Hermione returned to the box alone.
"Twilight, guess who I just met?"
"Is Harry Potter right?"
"Huh? How do you know? Hermione looked at Twilight in surprise.
"As far as I know, the only one who can be considered a 'celebrity' in the entire first year is Harry Potter, right?"
"Well, you're really too smart!" Hermione said dejectedly.
"But I found that this Harry Potter is not very powerful, and those children from wizarding families, most of them can't even have a spell!"
The old-fashioned steam train travels slowly until it gets dark and finally arrives at the final station.
"First-year freshmen, please keep up with me-"
A group of newborns who had changed their robes followed Hagrid's massive figure, first in a small boat across the wide lake, and then after a long walk up the mountain, the group finally reached the towering castle at the top of the hill.
Also, on the way here, Neville's toad was found by Hagrid, which is a nuance of the movie and the plot, so Harry and Ron should have clashed with Malfoy in the car.
"Professor McGonagall, I've brought the little ones here!"
The gates of the castle slowly retreated to the sides, and Professor McGonagall, dressed in dark green robes with an unusually serious expression and a very rigid look, stepped out of it.
"Okay Hagrid, I'm sorry for you—the freshmen come in with me!"
The group followed Professor McGonagall into the castle hall, surrounded by flaming torches and ceilings so high that they could barely see the top.
Behind the front door is the Great Hall, flanked by a sumptuous marble staircase that leads to the second floor. Other staircases lead to the Hufflepuff common room, kitchen and other basements.
"Welcome to Hogwarts—" Professor McGonagall exclaimed, and then gave them a brief introduction to the four houses and the sorting ceremony to be held in the future.
Then, after making sure the ceremony was ready, Professor McGonagall led them into the Great Hall.
The real auditorium is more fantastical than what it looks like in the special effects of the movie.
Thousands of candles hung above the four long tables that lit up the entire hall, but this did not hide the enchanted ceiling that could directly see the starry sky outside, and even make the entire starry sky clearer and brighter.
"Someone has enchanted it—"
"Hogwarts, a piece of school history—"
"Ahh Have you also read it? ”
Hermione looked at Twilight with a hint of surprise on her face. However, Mu Du didn't actually read this kind of 'boring' book, he just knew about this plot when he watched the movie.
Dumbledore gave a few speeches, and then the sorting ceremony began.
However, to Mu Dui's surprise, Dumbledore still emphasized that the room at the end of the corridor on the third floor was forbidden for students to approach, just like in the original book.
"Is it because of the old suspicions?" Twilight could only be so skeptical.
"Ron Weasley... Gryffindor! ”
Not surprisingly, both Ron and Harry were placed in Gryffindor, a descendant of Dumbledore.
"Twilight... Which house would you like to be placed in? Hermione whispered in Twilight's ear, her expression visibly nervous.
"Ravenclaw... Ravenclaw stands for wisdom! Mu Du shrugged his shoulders and said.
Of course, it doesn't really matter if you don't get into Ravenclaw, as long as you don't get into Gryffindor and Slytherin, the battle between the two houses is too interesting.
He just wanted to be obscene, learn more magic, and then go to the Room of Requirement to get his hands on Ravenclaw's crown when Dumbledore wasn't looking, and he didn't want to be noticed.
"Wood Twilight... Gryffindor! ”
“......”
Listening to the enthusiastic cheers that rang out at the long table where Gryffindor was, Twilight was speechless.
"If it's not purebloods that have improved Slytherin, and not being smart enough to have improved Ravenclaw, then Hufflepuff should always be okay, right? I'm pretty loyal to myself, and I'm not afraid of hardships... Why did you still sort me into Gryffindor's reckless house..."
Unfortunately, complaining didn't change the outcome, and Twilight sat down beside a delighted Hermione.
"Great, Twilight, so we can be in one academy!"
"Hehe......"
The corners of Mu Dui's mouth twitched slightly, and she could only use the food in front of her to vent the depression in her heart.
Chicken thighs, roasts, potatoes, sausages, to be honest, although these foods taste good, but limited by the imagination of the British diet, the variety is too monotonous.
Of course, it was already a fantastic treat for Harry, who grew up in a cupboard, and Ron, who had a family of seven living on poverty.
After two hours, the banquet ended, and the freshmen returned to their common rooms under the guidance of the prefects of each college.
That's where the benefits of joining Gryffindor come into play.
The common rooms of Slytherin and Hufflepuff are both underground, especially Slytherin, because the common rooms are built at the bottom of the lake, and there is a long, damp corridor before entering the common room, which normal people probably won't like.
The Gryffindor common room is on the eighth floor, connected to the Gryffindor Tower, and you can overlook the whole of Hogwarts from the window.
"Twilight, we're in the same dormitory again, that's great!"
There are only about twenty freshmen in a class, and the dormitory is a four-person room, so Twilight is honored to be in the same dormitory with Hermione.
"yes... What a coincidence..."Mu Dusk was so depressed that she wanted to cry.
"I just want to be a quiet beautiful man..."
Originally, according to his idea, it was better to go sooner rather than later, and as soon as he entered Hogwarts, he went to the Room of Requirement, found Voldemort's Horcrux Ravenclaw's crown hidden there, and got the points first.
But in this situation, I don't know when I will find an opportunity.
Early the next morning, Masaki Twilight, who was sleeping, was woken up by Hermione, and Twilight didn't complain about it, and went to the basement together after having breakfast in the auditorium.
"It's enough to come to this kind of place early in the morning for Potions class...", who had been reading last night, couldn't help but yawn when she saw it past three o'clock in the morning.
Do potions work? Of course it works, and it can be said that in the wizarding world, potions are no less important than magic.
But for Twilight, there was a problem, as most of the ingredients needed for potions were only available in the Harry Potter world.
Unless he can learn to become a Potions Master and then go to great lengths to find other alternative generic materials, the potions technique will be in vain when he returns to the Overworld.
