A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 2 Broomstick-type plug-in?

A group of four people stepped onto Hagrid's boat, and the fleet rowed across the mirror-flat lake towards the castle located above the cliff.

The freshmen passed through the ivy curtain covering the cliff, entered the hidden open entrance, and followed the dark tunnel to the castle underground. After docking at the dock, everyone climbed onto the gravel-paved ground, led by Hagrid.

Climbing down the tunnel in the rock, after walking up a flight of steps, we gathered in front of a huge oak door.

Hagrid knocked on the castle door three times, and the door immediately opened. A tall woman wearing an emerald green robe was waiting there, with a serious expression on her face wearing square glasses, and her black hair was tied into a tight bun.

bun.

"First year, Professor McGonagall," Hagrid said.

Professor McGonagall led the anxious freshmen to an empty room at the other end of the hall, and meticulously explained to everyone the upcoming sorting ceremony and the basic situation of the school, but Owen could no longer care about this.

After entering the castle gate, Owen felt a "boom" in the depths of his mind, and the hazy curtains covering his memory instantly disappeared. The endless misty white mist spread, eventually forming a vast white space.

Threads of white mist condensed into visible fonts, which emerged like flowing water on one side of this white space:

[Instable connection detected, countdown to collapse begins...]

[Turn on the shielding mechanism, the collapse will stop, and the crisis will be resolved.]

【Connection Point +3】

[The shielding mechanism is broken and related memories are unlocked!]

[Warning! Due to the clearing of connection points, the risk of crash increases!]

No matter what, Irving believed it anyway.

[Connection point +1]

Looking at the lines of handwriting condensed in white mist in front of him, Owen calmly thought about his own situation and quickly analyzed the cause and effect. Staying calm and rational in the face of emergencies is a quality that a qualified magician must possess.

, Owen, who has extensive experience in stage performances, is particularly good at adapting to circumstances. Although he usually looks lazy and full of bad taste...

"Then as I grew older, the fluctuations in magic power gradually became stable from disorder, and with more and more connection points, I finally broke through the blockade of the shielding mechanism today, unlocked the memory of the plot, and collected it over the years.

This space is opened at the expense of clearing the connection points."

[It is detected that the magic talent has been triggered, and the connection point collection mechanism is activated.]

Owen found himself standing in a pure white space. The white space was surrounded by endless white mist, dancing and billowing like clouds in the distance.

【Connection Point+2】

[The connection point collection mechanism is upgraded, updating...update completed...]

"When I was three years old, magic rioted, which triggered the magic talent, so I started the connection point collection mechanism, once a year... I finally understood what was going on with the moths around me. It was not some special magic talent, but

It’s this thing that’s doing something weird…but this is the physique of a broom star!”

"Well, let's forget it. I should believe that the teachers and students of Hogwarts have extremely excellent psychological quality and strong endurance. No matter what happens, Dumbledore's sea-fixing needle will take care of it. It shouldn't collapse... right?"

[Maintaining the thinking space requires 10 connection points/year, please be sure to keep enough connection points!]

[The main body’s magic power fluctuations tend to be stable, there are sufficient connection points, and the shielding mechanism is about to be broken.]

"I don't know, if I don't pass the test..." Harry looked anxiously at Hermione who was reciting the spell intently, then turned to Owen with a blank mind and muttered, "I can't do any magic..."

"Speaking of which, what exactly is a connection point? What about the collapse? It seems like the days ahead won't be too boring."

"It seems that this space has existed since I was born. Because the connection is unstable and there is a risk of 'collapse', the shielding mechanism is turned on. It seems that this is the reason why I can never recall the plot of the original work, huh

, I think of it all now."

[The connection point collection port will be released soon, the delivery frequency is once/year, please be prepared for collection]

Dismissing the writing in front of him with a wave of his hand, Owen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. His heart was filled with the realization of the truth, his uncontrollable unhappiness, and his expectation and joy for the unpredictable future.

[Connection point +1]

"Wait a minute, what do you mean by upgrading the connection point collection mechanism? Don't tell me that this broom star's physique has been strengthened... I've already made my family crazy in the past, won't it be earth-shaking after the upgrade? I'd better find a crooked neck tree as soon as possible.

Hang yourself from a tree to avoid harming the common people..." Owen looked up at the sky.

At this time, Professor McGonagall came back and led the freshmen through the foyer and into the luxurious auditorium. Students from other grades were already sitting around four long tables covered with different colors, watching them with pairs of eyes.

Stand in a row in front of the teacher's desk.

[The connection points are cleared and the thinking space is opened! 】

"Wait a minute, am I here in my true form?" Owen's expression changed. It would be great fun if he suddenly disappeared in front of everyone.

Although he already knew what the Sorting Ceremony was about, he was willing to abide by the unspoken rules of the wizards and not tell the young wizards the inside story of the Sorting Ceremony. According to his father, the freshmen should be kept ignorant of the unknown.

The sense of novelty and anticipation is definitely not because I am willing to make my descendants nervous and nervous after being deceived once.

Regardless of continuing to test the function of the thinking space, he imagined leaving this space, and then returned to reality easily. He found that he was still standing in the small room before, Professor McGonagall had left, and the freshmen were talking uneasily.

A buzzing sound echoed in my ears.

…

He took a look at his body. He was wearing a black Hogwarts robe, which was exactly the same as himself outside, even the pile of magic props he carried on his body and the wand in his pocket were also there.

…

[Start releasing connection point collection ports. The delivery frequency is once per year. Please be prepared for collection. 】

After hearing Owen's words, Harry breathed a sigh of relief and began to hesitate whether to recite the laws of multiplication and division, or the area formula... His math scores were pretty good, maybe he should recall the poetry he had learned before.

?

"Relax, it's just a small test that has nothing to do with magic." Looking at the same terrified expressions on the freshmen's faces, Owen shook his head in amusement.

Professor McGonagall placed a four-cornered stool in front of the freshmen, and then placed a pointed wizard hat on it. The hat was patched, worn, and extremely dirty. The black dirt on it was almost oily.

Shined.

Although he had been mentally prepared for it, when he thought about wearing this hat next, Irving, who had always been a bit of a germophobe, almost got mad.

Listening to the Sorting Hat twisting and singing a weird melody, Owen only had one thought in his mind: Are wizards... so unhygienic?

It's definitely not the case. At least the Shafiq family is kept spotless by the house elves every day. Even the house elves are clean.

But... Owen turned his head and looked at Professor Snape's greasy hair, Hagrid's messy beard, and Quirrell's dirty purple scarf, and suddenly felt that the future was bleak.
