001. Scott Trollope the Traverser

Next Chapter

1 September 1992, King's Cross Station, London, Platform 9 and 3/4.

This day is the day of the annual intake of new students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the only school of witchcraft and wizardry in the UK.

For young wizards who attend or are about to go to Hogwarts, the only way to get to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is by train from King's Cross Station.

As a result, the entire platform was crowded with people, making it look particularly lively.

Students of different ages and parents saw off the platform with large bags of luggage. Owls fly over people's heads, dropping a few feathers. Several cats are nimbly shuttling under people's feet.

Next to the platform, a crimson steam locomotive is parked there. The sign on the train reads "Hogwarts Express, eleven o'clock".

In a quiet compartment near the back of the car, a boy sat alone in a cubicle, bracing his cheeks and looking out the window at the crowd.

He has slightly curly but not messy black hair, just like his clothes, and the first impression is crisp and neat.

He wears a plain wizard's robe with a blue badge embroidered on his chest. In addition to a bronze eagle, the coat of arms bears the word Ravenclaw.

At this time, although he looked out the car window, those noisy scenes were not reflected in his transparent blue eyes, and his thoughts were flying.

Scott Trolop Trollope), born into an ordinary family in the port town of Hastings in southeastern England, is 14 years old and a fourth-year student at Ravenclaw House, a Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.

In addition to these, he also has a secret identity that is different from ordinary people - a traverser. It has been 14 years since he was reborn in this world with the memories of his past life.

Scott doesn't know why he died unexpectedly in his previous life and was reborn in the world with his memories.

In this regard, he can only sigh - everything in his previous life cannot be traced.

In this life, his upbringing before the age of eleven can also be called pan-good.

He wasn't a well-known genius, he wasn't the richest man in the world, he didn't preemptively publish a Harry Potter novel, he didn't buy Apple stock, he didn't teach himself hacking skills to empty the Bank of England...... He doesn't even have the system that comes standard with the Traverser.

It was only after he was a baby that his brain was fully developed and he was able to think independently, and he quickly accepted his new identity, and then grew up like that.

The first time I noticed the anomaly was, of course, because of a sudden magical riot.

There is no need to recount the process, but after that he quickly accepted his new identity - presumably a young wizard.

He didn't have the clearest feeling of thinking of himself as a mutant or the Awakening - Magical Riot, and in this case, England, he would certainly choose the most likely one among the many options that could explain the Magical Storm.

When he received an offer from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the age of eleven, his parents, Michael and Amilia, embraced the fact as well. They didn't make a fuss and didn't see their wizard son as an outlier.

It is important to emphasize that the Trolopes were pure Muggle families - Michael and Emilia ran an antiques shop together. There are no wizards or squibs among relatives or friends, and there are no hidden secret rooms or magical portraits in the home.

After confirming his conjecture about the world, Scott only regretted that his memory of the Harry Potter story was only a sketchy outline, but he did not feel anxious about it.

He was not a fan of the Harry Potter series of novels and films, and in his previous life, he had only read the entire series of novels in a school life. Even if it is a series of movies adapted from the global popularity, he only watched the first two when he was still young.

But he felt that he could still remember that the outline had been earned, and that he should be snickering at his still outstanding memory - after all, it was already remarkable that he could still remember the general direction of the whole story after many years of reincarnation.

Overall, Scott boarded the Hogwarts Express for the first time in 1989 at the age of eleven, and was later placed in Ravenclaw House by the Sorting Hat at the entrance ceremony.

Originally, he thought that his easy-going personality should be assigned to Hufflepuff House by the Sorting Hat. But I didn't expect the Sorting Hat to see that his intelligence was obviously more prominent than his casual character.

It is important to emphasize that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry does not have a Soul Hunt for young wizards. Neither the Sorting Hat nor Headmaster Dumbledore had the slightest interest in the lackluster memories in the young wizard's head.

Scott thinks that they can easily judge a person's abilities and character, so memory is not so important.

He knew that as long as he was a student who was not too out of line at school, no one would pay special attention to him.

On the contrary, if you have been suspicious and suspicious, you will show super defense, and "there is no silver three hundred taels here" will arouse suspicion.

Everything was just as he thought, Scott had safely spent three years as a wizard apprentice since entering the magical version of campus life.

Woowoo......

The long whistle interrupted his thoughts, and the train started.

Scott came back to his senses, looked at the fading scenery outside the car window for a while, and then took out a book with a colorful cover from his backpack that was placed aside.

Vacation with the Dominatrix, by Gilderoy Lockhart.

Lockhart is the character Scott still has some memories of, and is the professor in charge of teaching them Defence Against the Dark Arts class this new school year.

Scott remembered that he was a liar who made a name for himself, and that the plots in his books were stolen by casting a memory spell on the true owners of those adventures.

But, although Lockhart is a fake, Scott feels that his book is still worth reading.

After all, except for the fact that the protagonist's name is fake, the adventures themselves are all real. Otherwise, Lockhart would not have been able to claim the accolades that made him famous with these novels.

The train sped across the field, and Scott flipped the pages of the book in his hand from time to time.

He didn't look very closely, just skimmed through it, and then took a pen and marked the really useful knowledge in the book.

Of course, he skipped all the passages that Lockhart used to boast about himself.

Halfway through the book, he suddenly put down his pen and turned his head to look at the door of the cubicle.

- Five seconds later, the compartment door is pulled open.

"Excuse me......" The little witch who pulled the door poked her head into the cubicle and hurriedly asked, "Did you see Harry Potter and Ron Weasley today?" ”

Scott saw that she had thick brown hair and a pair of front teeth.

He knew the girl, Hermione Granger, the little friend of Harry Potter the Savior.
