A ruined Hogwarts

After the astronomy class, most of the little wizards who had gone through a whole day of classes were not in the mood to do their homework. They said "good night" to each other and went back to their dormitories.

Owen, who had just finished petting the cat, returned to the dormitory in a happy mood. His three roommates were all there.

"Owen, what did you find just now?" Draco asked lazily as he was flipping through his schoolbag.

"A cat," Owen said honestly, putting his schoolbag on the table, "Maybe you don't know, but I've always wanted to have a cat."

"Do you think I believe it or not?" Draco's gray eyes glanced over, "Isn't your pet a rabbit? To be honest, those stupid and fragile animals can easily be picked up and eaten by other creatures in Hogwarts... ...By the way, why has your rabbit disappeared recently?"

"I'm dead of old age," Owen said casually. And, he is currently living and breathing in his wall-facing space, jumping sideways repeatedly.

"Oh, that's a good thing for it. It doesn't have to worry about it all day long. It's a very wise choice." Draco didn't feel at all that this topic might make the rabbit owner uncomfortable, and spoke the truth in a slow tone.

Owen looked at him with a half-smile, but he didn't feel angry. He knew that Draco's original intention was not to poke people's pain, but that he honestly didn't think a rabbit was a big deal, and he took it for granted that others thought the same way. To put it bluntly, he has low emotional intelligence, and he is not very good at speaking human words. Well, he lacks the beatings from society.

Draco took out a large bag of candies from his schoolbag and threw it on the round table in the middle of the dormitory. He raised his chin and said, "My mother always likes to send me a lot of candies, but she always fails to remember that I can't eat them at all. There are so many. You can take these and eat them, or I will take them out and throw them away."

The slipknot on the candy bag unraveled, and you could see that it was filled with chocolate frogs, sizzling bees, and frankincense nougat, as well as toad-shaped cream mints and exquisite sugar quills, many of which were unique to Duke Bee. Some candies are quite expensive.

"Actually, you only need to throw them to Crabbe and Goyle. I'm sure they won't be wasted at all." Theodore Nott, who was sitting at the round table, put down the magic playing cards in his hand and took them with a smile. A sugar quill was sucking in the mouth.

"I don't want them to get any fatter," Draco said slowly, glaring at him, "They're already big enough."

"Oh, thank you." Harry, who was studying the Transfiguration Notes with a frown on his side, also raised his head, took a chocolate frog and stuffed it into his mouth. He looked at Agrippa's chocolate frog card in his hand with interest and thought My mood became much lighter.

Draco couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and said proudly: "I have collected several sets of these cards. If you want, I can give you a set."

"Don't you know that the most interesting thing about collecting Chocolate Frog cards is the process of collecting them?" Theodore said. He and Draco were friends before they entered school - after all, their fathers were once under the same boss - so they spoke unceremoniously.

"Is this the reason why you haven't collected a set yet?" Draco replied without hesitation.

Owen also sat next to the round table, took a little Bee Bee candy and said casually: "Eating candy at night can cause tooth decay, cause obesity, and is not good for your health..."

Before he finished speaking, several people looked at him and said in unison: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute!"

After blurting out a sentence, Theodore turned his head to look at Harry, then lowered his eyes and quickly looked away.

Theodore has a withdrawn personality. Except for Draco and Blaise, who he was familiar with before entering school, he has maintained a relationship with most people. Especially for Harry Potter, perhaps because his father was once a Death Eater, he has always been distant, neither offending nor getting close to Harry. This also represents how a few people in Slytherin House treat Harry. Attitude.

Owen blinked and took Theodore's magic playing card. The pictures on it moved very actively, flashing with colorful light and shadow effects, and looked extremely gorgeous.

Under the stunned gazes of the three little wizards, Owen demonstrated a dazzling shuffling technique. The playing cards jumped and danced in his hands as if they were alive, blooming and merging smoothly like a tightly connected whole. They looked smooth and elegant, and very beautiful.

"Want to play cards?" Owen smiled mysteriously and closed the cards in his hand with a snap, which had been shuffled for a long time and were actually in the same order.

"OK!"

Twenty minutes later, the three little wizards looked at Owen blankly. They had not won a single game. After seeing Owen start shuffling the cards again, the three of them quickly shook their heads and said: "No more playing, no more playing, it's time to go to bed!"

"I doubt your cards will change." Draco looked at Owen suspiciously, "My luck can't be so bad!"

"Although my cards can prevent wizards from cheating to a certain extent, but..." Theodore also said cautiously.

"Uh, transfiguration?" Harry had a flash of inspiration and thought he had found the truth.

Owen threw the cards on the table, shook his head in amusement and said, "Why do you always think of people so darkly? Am I someone who can use magic when playing cards?"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and with a flick of his fingers, the playing cards that had been hidden in his palm appeared between his two fingers, seemingly appearing out of thin air. Then with another snap of his fingers, the card in his hand instantly changed from the Jack of Hearts to the Ace of Spades. Finally, Owen flicked his finger and the card disappeared.

Then, he moved his fingers casually, and Harry's chocolate frog card appeared out of thin air in his hand. He flicked the card onto the table, but it turned out to be a small ace.

Owen showed his empty hands to everyone, then spread them out, blinked his dark eyes with a smile, and said, "Unfortunately, my hands are still too small, so I can't do many tricks."

Although there is a high probability that the three little wizards will not see through those magic tricks even if he uses them, but a qualified magician should never step on the stage knowing that his magic has flaws. Well, this is very important.

At this time, the cards he threw on the table began to groan. The King of Hearts, who had always been dishonest and wanted to complain before, jumped up, covered his mouth that was red from being pinched by Owen, and shouted with tears in his eyes: " He cheated!"

"Okay, I knew you were secretly using magic!" Draco jumped up first, followed closely by Harry. The two of them held down Owen, who was about to escape, and scattered the magic props he carried with him everywhere.

Theodore watched this scene with his shoulders crossed, and then picked up the cards on the table with some confusion, suspecting that he had bought a fake. He took out his wand and chanted a spell at the King of Hearts. The King shouted angrily and exploded with a "boom", turning Theodore's pale cheeks into black coals.

"Well, it's really good at preventing cheating..." Theodore blew out a puff of black smoke and rolled his eyes with his afro.

After a period of commotion, the dormitory finally returned to tranquility as Owen smiled and begged for mercy.

The giant squid outside the window was shaking its huge tentacles in the lake water, and an eye with wavy pupils flashed past.

The little wizards who were tired from playing climbed onto the bed one after another and fell asleep.
