Harry was stunned for a moment, then turned around in surprise, and sure enough, Charles was standing not far behind him, smiling at him.

"Brother Francis!"

"I'm two years older than you, but you can call me Charles." Charles walked over with a smile and patted the boy next to Harry, motioning for him to move out of the way.

"Hey, wait!" Charles sat down and was about to speak to Harry when he suddenly seemed to realize something, and turned to look at the boy who had given him his seat: "Are you Neville?" Neville Longbottom? ”

The round-faced boy nodded nervously, Charles smiled, stretched out his hand, and said, "Nice to meet you, Neville, I'm Charles Francis." ”

Neville hesitated for a moment and shook Charles' hand under his encouraging gaze, before Charles turned to Harry and said, "Sorry for the delay, this broom is awesome, Harry!" Was it someone else's gift to you? ”

"Oh, oh! Yes, yes...... This broom is ......," Harry paused for a moment to explain.

"No, no, don't tell me who sent it, you know I'm glad to see you meet new friends." Charles was happy, and Harry scratched his head a little silly, the brother who had played with him since he was a child turned out to be a wizard like him, which was the second best news he had received to be able to join Hogwarts, although he wanted to express his joy, but it was too difficult to speak.

Charles complimented him a few times, and then said to the red-haired boy sitting on the other side of Harry, "How many children are you from the Weasleys?" What a handsome guy! I know your two older brothers, George and Fred. ”

"Oh! Uh, I'm Ron, Ron Weasley, I'm the sixth child in the family......" Ron replied with some embarrassment, and seeing Charles's thoughtful expression, he added, "Percy is also my brother, do you know him?" ”

"Oh, Percy, Percy is more like a prefect than a prefect, I know him, but I don't know him." Charles shrugged his shoulders, before he caught up with Penelope last year, Percy also tried to date her, but his personality is naturally not very popular with girls, and as a reincarnated body, he has a unique temperament and charm that Percy can't catch up.

Ron burped in his throat, as if he was stuck with something, although he didn't like that brother very much, but it was still a little embarrassing to be sarcastically ridiculed like this, but fortunately, Charles then stood up, waved his hand and turned away: "Goodbye, Harry, my friend is still waiting for me, if you need my help, you can come to me at any time." ”

"Wow, Harry, is that your brother? He's so cool! ”

When Charles was far away, Ron said in a low voice, obviously Charles's calm momentum gave him a lot of shock.

Harry laughed and said, "No, that's my neighbor...... But you're right, he's like my brother. ”

……

The snow is getting heavier, the whole of Hogwarts is white, and even owls are scarce in the winter sky, after all, they are living creatures.

Halloween came quietly in the anticipation of all the students, and Charles was also a little excited because of the arrival of Halloween, but he was not because of the holiday, but because he was looking forward to the unexpected surprises of the evening.

At the end of the twentieth century, in addition to the dragons whose numbers remained at a certain level due to the perfection of artificial breeding technology, unicorns have become a rarity that can only be seen in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, and giants and trolls are considered extinct by most wizards.

So he didn't have to bother looking for it, a troll was sent to the door for him to see, what a happy thing, and he could also justifiably test his current strength, after all, Harry was only in the first year now, the fighting club had not yet been established, and his own [CF Club] was just a sketch.

Wonderful music echoed in the auditorium, and the decorations of the four houses were also decorated with many Halloween echoes, and although the students did not dress up strangely, the festive feeling still filled the auditorium like a heat wave.

"Charles, come with me for a walk to the lake in a moment." Penelope looked at Charles and blinked, she was a bookish beauty, much like Hermione, but much quieter and gentler than her, such playful movements were more cute and touching than ordinary girls.

Charles sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I'm sorry, Penelope, I may not be able to accompany you tonight." ”

"Why?" Penelope wondered, "Could it be that you're not allowed to go out of the tower at night?" ”

Charles laughed and said, "What? No, of course not, how could I refuse your invitation because of that kind of thing, it's because I'm restless today, and I always feel like something is going to happen. ”

Penelope stretched out Rouyi and caressed Charles's cheek, and said gently: "Honey, maybe the affairs of the club make you too nervous, don't worry, I will always be with you." ”

Charles gently grabbed Penelope's hand and nodded with a smile.

Laris and the others whistled in a funny way, and many Ravenclaw students also looked at the two with a smile or envy, their relationship at school had never been hidden, and many of the same schools knew about it, and even some students from other colleges knew about it.

Marietta sat on the side and looked at me with a complicated expression, and at this moment, there was a loud bang, and the entire auditorium fell silent.

"Giant, troll! At...... ...... in school"

Everything was going according to the script, Quirrell fainted after the frightened alarm, the whole Great Hall was in chaos, Dumbledore stood up, and with his kind but majestic voice to calm all the students, thousands of pairs of eyes looked at the white-bearded old man, and as long as he was still there, no one would be afraid.

Because it was Dumbledore, the strongest man in the wizarding world.

While the prefects were leading the students of their respective houses back to the common room, Charles whispered to Penelope, "I'm going to go out and see how the trolls can be in the school." ”

"No, Charles, that's too dangerous!" Penelope clutched his hand nervously.

Charles patted the back of her white hand and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm not going to deal with him, I'm just going to find the monster and make sure he won't hurt you." ”

"But, there are teachers...... Or, I'll go with you! Penelope suddenly looked at Charles firmly.

Charles smiled bitterly in his heart, and hurriedly comforted: "No, you follow them back to the lounge, I will be back soon, if I bring you, I will be distracted." ”

Peneloe reluctantly let go of Charles, he nodded, and quickly and quietly left the auditorium with the help of the crowd.
