The first year of the story: Hogwarts Express (Part II)
"Thank you, I'm fine. By the way, that megalomaniac just said your name is Harper Potter? I know everything about you, of course - I bought a few extra reference books, "A History of Modern Magic," "The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts," and "The Important Magical Events of the Twentieth Century," all of which mention you. My name is Hermione Granger, his name is Neville Longbottom, by the way, what's your name? Hermione was quick to speak.
"Well, I know. It seems that you like to study very much, and you have read so many magic books before school starts. I think you'd be a good fit to go to Ravenclaw, where there are some people who love to learn, says the megalomaniac Draco Malfoy. And then there's Vincent Crabbe, and that's Gregory Goyle, and I thought he was so noisy that I turned him into a talkative dog. Harper looked at Hermione and felt that she was in the same category as HarperF and Justin.
"You don't seem to be using spells from spellbooks, and you like to read too? I have read some of the genetic theories that seem to be a branch of biology, the science of studying the heredity and variation of organisms, but I prefer to read some books on logical reasoning, such as algebra and logic. "Hermione was a bit happy to meet someone who also liked to read. (Alex: What a misunderstanding!) I don't like to read, but now I have to. )
"You are really similar to them, I know 2 people who like to read books and scientific research like you, and they are both very hands-on, one does handicrafts, and the other likes robots." Harper stared out the window, "As for this dog spell, I made it up, an improvised spell. ”
"Improvisation!! You can also make your own spells!? You're just as good as the book says! Can I learn? "Hermione's desire to learn was hooked.
"Improvisation? Are you kidding? I've been exposed to magic since I was a child, and only the most powerful ones like Headmaster Dumbledore have the ability. It takes a lot of magic to recreate a spell, and you're just speaking English, and the spell text is mostly from Latin. Even Dad can't do it. Draco came back to his senses and heard the knowledge that had pushed him beyond the realm of self-perception once again.
"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean everyone can't. Besides, making up spells is an art in itself, and I'm good at making art, so I did it. As for language is not a necessary condition for the magic of spells to work, do wizards from other countries have to know Latin? Like a Chinese wizard, do they use Latin spells every time? Don't they themselves have their Chinese magic? Harper used the example of the wizard Bruce Lee, who Uncle Kelbo knew from his previous life.
"Turn Goyle back with your improvised spell, and I'll believe it." Draco was a little ambivalent and asked Harper to use the spell again.
"Believe what? Draco, Blaise and I waited for you to come to us for so long. "Today, this box door is really a little offended, this time it fell into the hands of a girl with a face that looks like a poodle.
"What are you doing here? Why is there an extra dog here? This is whose pet is so tasteless. Crabber is yours? Blaise sat down next to Crabber with the poodle-haired girl, across from Draco.
"Well, this is Goyle. Not my pet. Crabber explains.
"What? How did Goyle turn into a dog? The girl screamed.
"Shut up, Pansy, we're talking about Goyle's changeover, and you're interrupting." Draco snapped in. "Harper, this is Blaise Zabini and Pansy Parkinson, my hair is small." Draco exclaimed again as he introduced Harper to them, but Harper was used to it.
"So, it was our Miss Savior who turned your henchman into such an ugly dog. Is the reason just because he is noisy? Blaise felt that she was very different from the savior she imagined.
"Stop, don't call me a savior, I don't like this title, and I don't want to be it, whoever loves to be it. Given that I'm used to some people..."Harper looked at Draco, "Call me by my name without my consent, so you can just call me Harper." ”
"So Harper is now going to use the improvised spell you made up to turn Goyle back?" Pansy and Draco also don't believe that a young wizard who hasn't gone to school can create spells.
"Huminoza Espinoza" Harper swiped lightly in the air with his hand, and Goyle transformed back into a human from a dog.
"I'm finally back in!" Goyle rolled over his hands and touched himself.
"Was that wandless magic just now?" Aside from Goyle, who was still immersed in the mood of being back into a human, everyone else was surprised that Harper didn't use his wand to improvise spells, but Hermione remembered something: "How is Huminoza Espinoza so familiar?" Where do I think I've seen it? ”
"Huh. Ha! You see this isn't an original spell, right? The spells that even Muggles had heard were certainly not improvised spells. Draco looked smug as if he had grabbed Harper's pigtails, but Harper just gave him a blank look.
"Ahh Wizards of Waverly Place, I've read it in this comic! Hermione exclaimed, "Have you read this manga too?" This is a story about three wizarding teenagers living in New York City, who are trained by their father to learn witchcraft and then fight for the right to inherit their family's mana in a magic competition, while hiding the secrets of witchcraft and the interesting experiences of magic in their lives. Ever since I knew I was a wizard, I happened to see this comic, and it was my best pastime when I wasn't studying. ”
"Thank you for your like, Hermione." Harper is delighted that his work has been recognized.
"Why are you thanking me? I just love a comic. Wait, is it... I'd heard that the manga author seemed to be just a child, but I wasn't convinced at the time. It can't be Harper, right? Are you Alex Russo? Oh, I mean Alex the author, not Alex from Waverly." Hermione looked at Harper and nodded, letting out an exclamation "Really?!" Is that all the spells on it real? ”
"Wait, what comics? Could it be that someone has drawn things in the wizarding world into a painting, and it's the kind that many people have seen? Wouldn't this be a violation of the International Secrecy Act? Draco half-understood.
"That's a fairy-tale existence in Muggles, what's the matter with the International Secrecy Act? Like vampires, witches, gods, goblins, and so on that are already well-known legendary characters, and my story is a trivial incident that happened 15 years later in the United States in an ordinary wizarding family. Don't make such a fuss about yguys, all right. Harper was always speechless about the people who lived in the box.
"You haven't finished answering Granger's question, can you use the spells in the comics?" Blaise clearly cares more about new magic.
"Well, it can indeed be used, my words, I don't know if you can or not."
"We can try it, I remember the first spell in it seemed to be the copy spell 'Edgebono Utoostis'" Hermione took out his wand and cast a spell on the snack on the table, but nothing changed. "It doesn't seem to work!"
"Do you have in your head what you're trying to copy when you cast a spell?" Harper's left hand flipped through the comic book, which was the "Wizards of Waverly Place" "Edgebono Utoostis", and after the spell was finished, the book instantly turned into 2 copies and placed on the table.
"Feel free to see what you want."
The book was taken by Draco and Blaise, and the others stared at Harper, except for Hermione, who had no choice but to copy a copy of the comic for them, and each returned to his box.
Outside the window, the sky was getting darker, and under the deep purple sky there were mountains and trees. The train seems to have slowed down.
Hermione arrived at the box again, and by this time she had already changed into her robes. "You'd better hurry up and change into your robes, I just got to the front of the car and asked the driver, and he said we were about to arrive."
"Then you can change it, I'll go outside the door first." Harper consciously walked out of the box, carefully closed the door and waited outside.
"Are you going to go to my place to change then?" Hermione asked.
"No, you don't." Harper snapped his fingers, and the clothes on his body changed to those made to order in the robes shop at the time.
"I'm sure once again that everything in your comics is true, and you'll have to teach me how to use these spells in the future." Hermione decided that in order to study, he had to keep up with Harper.
"Okay~~~." Harper reluctantly agreed.
The box door was opened by Draco, and the three of them all changed, looking at Harper, who had also changed, they didn't know what to say, and after reading the comics, they felt that their psychological endurance had taken a step further, after all, it must be feasible to change clothes in an instant since they could be drawn into the painting, at least for Harper.
"The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes, please leave your luggage on the train and we'll take you to the school." The sound echoed through the train.
