A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 9 Shafiq Family

Returning to the real world of Charms class, Owen rubbed his brows and looked a little tired.

But he still managed to gather his energy and pay attention to his side, clenching the wand in his hand vigilantly, trying to find any possible abnormalities.

This was not because he was overly vigilant, but an instinctive reaction from years of unlucky experiences. Although the various anomalies that happened around him were not life-threatening, it turned out that if he did not want to be like Harry Potter and lose his life on the first day of school,

When it comes to choosing a spouse, it’s best to be extremely vigilant.

Professor Flitwick had already finished explaining the key points of releasing the Illuminating Curse, and was patrolling the classroom with his hands behind his back to watch the young wizards practice their spells. The small figure was lost in the desks that seemed particularly tall to him.

"Lumos!"

Blaise muttered something in a low voice, and a bright white light bloomed from the tip of the wand. The light was steady and dazzling. His expression was lazy and he showed no interest. After all, he was also from a wizarding family. Before enrolling in school,

After all, I have practiced some magic spells.

Amidst the noisy chanting of spells, most of the little wizards in the classroom were able to successfully cast the spell. After all, it was the first spell class, so it would not be too harmful to the little wizards' self-confidence.

The bright light flickers on and off in the classroom, making people's eyes hurt.

"Why have you been in a daze just now? You were almost discovered by Professor Flitwick." Blaise glanced at Owen and whispered.

"Thank you for being able to express your wandering mind in such a fresh and refined way." Blaise curled his lips.

Owen looked at Professor Quirrell who was holding the textbook and looking timid. He looked like a pale young man. The big purple scarf around his head made his head look bigger.

His words were questioned by Blaise and Daphne in the next class.

"Well, I'm having a brainstorm." Owen showed a gentle smile, waved his wand and said "fluorescent flash", and the tip of the wand lit up with a bright light.

I think back when Voldemort's power was at its peak, even Harry Potter's parents were coerced and lured into joining the ranks of Voldemort's followers, let alone those pure-blood families with wealthy families.

Carrying the old man with him, he also likes to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, go deep into the enemy camp alone and steal treasures from the heavy protection. If you put it in the novel, this will be the protagonist's template. Owen thought divergently.

"It is said that Professor Quirrell was once an outstanding graduate of Ravenclaw House. How did he become like this?" Daphne also wrinkled her nose in confusion, her beautiful blue eyes full of confusion.

"If that's the case, everyone... just ask for your own blessings." Owen twitched the corner of his mouth, but he was not so anxious. It's better to have fun alone than to have fun together. It's time for Hogwarts to feel Owen's love.

.Hmm, evil love.

Daphne walked with Owen and Blaise, but she finally couldn't hold Pansy back. According to Pansy, she was going to have a fateful encounter with Harry and Malfoy...

After realizing this, Owen cheered up and listened with great interest. From time to time, he would raise his hand to ask about the contradiction between Professor Binns' remarks and the textbook, and discuss the different ideas that historical figures implemented throughout their lives, which made many young wizards

While they were surprised, Professor Binns was also inspired, and the silver-white ghost body became much brighter.

"And it smells like garlic here. I dare say the scarf on his head must be stuffed with garlic." Blaise added sarcastically, "I really don't know why Hogwarts would choose this kind of person.

To be a professor. I mean, whether he's an excellent graduate or not, he's clearly not made to teach."

As time passed by, Owen did not find anything worth paying attention to. This was obviously different from the past. In the past, abnormalities were often limited to a small area around Owen, and he never needed to deliberately look for them.

"...That's right, what Hain practiced was never the will of the tribe. He was actually a pioneer..." Professor Binns shook his head and muttered, his voice buzzing like a bee, "Very good

question, it seems that you are really thinking carefully about what I said, very good... ten points for Slytherin."

"It's not a problem with him..." Owen shook his head and said in his mind, "It's a big problem."

There are many ways to solve these abnormal events. A skilled wizard can use magic to restrain or even solve them. Owen can also find the subject that carries the strange events and then remove them according to his own will, or wait for a longer or shorter period of time.

, the exception will disappear on its own.

Hedging your bets has always been the survival philosophy of the ancient family. It has nothing to do with good or evil, but only concerns interests and inheritance. Those who support Voldemort with their whole family like the Malfoy family can be considered an anomaly. It can only be said that Lucius Malfoy, who was the sole heir of the Malfoy family at the time,

Fu made an irrational decision and it was a huge gamble.

Until the end of this class, no unusual events occurred. Professor Flitwick did not assign homework in the first class, and the students rushed out of the classroom chatting and laughing.

Looking back, Owen has no intention of getting in-depth contact with Quirrell and Voldemort. His own origin is the best talisman, and he has no intention of breaking the family tradition.

After class, Blaise looked at Owen who was packing his things strangely, shrugged and said: "I can guarantee that this must be the first time Professor Binns gives extra points to students. I think you can tell others that you are

Professor Binns’ favorite student.”

Owen, who was already sleepy, listened patiently for a while, but suddenly discovered that Professor Binns' knowledge of the history of magic was actually very profound. His lackluster words often revealed many historical events that were not written in the textbooks. These small events

Although it will not be used as a test center, it can also greatly enrich students' historical knowledge.

Of course, although the Shafiq family had no one in those days, they secretly made a lot of money behind their backs. There was a price to pay for choosing neutrality.

"Is the upgraded anomaly not just limited to me?" Owen habitually spun the wand in his hand quickly, turning it into a black shadow. "Could it be that it extends to the entire Hogwarts? This

It’s even more difficult to solve…”

Their second class was the History of Magic. The ghost professor Binns was a very powerful hypnotist. His monotonous chattering voice made the supposedly interesting historical events sound like a funeral. Throughout the class, even

The little wizard who loved learning the most couldn't help but feel sleepy.

"Well, the professors at Hogwarts all have something to offer." Owen sighed, "None of them should be underestimated."

The Shafik family was a neutral faction during the First Wizarding War. It was said that they were just outsiders. Although they were happy to see Voldemort's ideas come to fruition, no family members joined the Death Eaters...perhaps this was mainly because

It's because the Shafiq family has withered in recent generations and is a single lineage. They cannot send one or two people to join the Death Eaters as a bet like other pure-blood families such as the Rozier family. Even if they fail, they can cut off their wrists and make a clean break.

limit.

"Are you really sure that every professor has something?" Brace looked at Professor Quirrell on the podium who was stuttering and reading from the textbook with an arrogant face, wrinkled his nose and said, "He can't even read the textbook well."

Except for those of the Order of the Phoenix who resolutely distanced themselves from Voldemort, some pure-blood families who chose to protect themselves had their whole families hiding in Europe. In order not to offend him, most other families chose to silently invest money behind his back. This kind of thing would even happen to Voldemort.

In the end, there was no way to investigate the failure and it would not be affected. Anyway, most of these families did not reject or even approved of Voldemort's ideas.

Owen smiled and had no intention of continuing to chat. All his attention was focused on all the people and things in the classroom.

It can be said that the Shafiq family is at least one of the supporters behind Voldemort, and there is no reason to deal with them even if he comes back.

Therefore, although Owen understands that Voldemort will inevitably come back in the future, there is no need for him to be close to him, and of course there is no need to offend him. This status is suitable for Owen to grow up steadily.

As for Quirrell in front of me, leave it to Dumbledore and the savior. What does it have to do with Shafiq and me?

"Hmm, why do you feel like you're raising a flag?"

Owen shook his head slightly and put this strange thought behind him.
