A ruined Hogwarts

Early the next morning, under the influence of his biological clock, Owen climbed out of bed on time.

The lake outside the window was always dark and deep, with a sparkling dark green color, making it difficult for him to see what the sky was like, and there was always an illusion that it was not yet dawn.

The three roommates were still fast asleep. Owen finished washing up slowly, changed into his Hogwarts robes, and stood in front of the mirror and carefully combed his hair to make sure there were no stray hairs. .

By the time he returned to his four-poster bed, Theodore Nott had woken up and mouthed "Good morning" when he saw Owen. He is a very thin boy who looks a little sickly, and his short chestnut hair exacerbates his sickly feeling.

Owen responded with a smile, and then opened a black suitcase that was placed next to his bed. This is a suitcase that has been cast with a traceless stretching spell. The outer shell of the suitcase is also engraved with the emblem of the Shafiq family. It was a coat of arms with black and white as the background color, with a tall tower also in black and white, surrounded by gold and silver roses on the outside.

Owen finally rummaged through his suitcase to find his schoolbag and textbooks. Before he could practice the flying spell, God knew how difficult it was to find what he wanted among so many messes.

There were a lot of miscellaneous things stuffed in the box, which in Owen's opinion were useless. They were definitely put in by Mr. Shafiq when he had nothing to do. Owen felt that his mother, who always had a straightforward style of doing things, could not do such a thing. .

He raised his hand and stroked the still sleeping rabbit muse to make sure that the old man was not dead yet. Owen did not disturb her sleep, but just put some rabbit food next to her.

After he packed his things, Malfoy and Harry finally got up. The two of them sat up almost at the same time, which seemed to be a tacit understanding. Malfoy was so sleepy that his pale blond hair looked like a messy bird's nest, not to mention Harry, whose already unruly hair was now even more unruly. The two looked at each other in confusion, and the scene was a bit funny.

"Good morning, you got up quite early." Owen sat at the table, poured himself a glass of milk and drank it slowly, elegantly as if he was sipping a cup of high-end black tea - the milk he just found from the suitcase Yes, God knows what his father's mentality was before he stuffed it in.

Harry rubbed his eyes, put on his round glasses, and looked at his roommates: Owen, who seemed to have "exquisite" written all over his body and every hair, said "my dad" all the time, and felt good about himself. Malfoy, and Nott, who looked sick and had world-weariness written all over his face...

Why does he feel like he is the only normal person in this dormitory?

…

From the moment he left the common room, Harry Potter had been the center of attention. Curious students lined up outside the classroom and jostled up and down the corridors just to catch a glimpse of him.

Draco Malfoy walked beside Harry, with his head raised and a proud look on his face, as if the person being noticed was himself. He just walked out of the steps like a stranger, exuding a feeling of "Hogwarts is my home" all over his body. momentum.

Crabbe and Goyle, two silly big men, were leading the way, one on the left and the other on the right. They were like two fierce bodyguards, using their proud size and brute strength to carve a bloody path through the crowded crowd.

The group of four people walked through the city in a swaggering manner, clearly showing their bully aura. Irving unfaithfully left early and left with Blaise Zabini, and Theodore Nott also left halfway...

Harry was dejected and wanted to run away. The postures of the three Malfoys made him feel embarrassed. However, Malfoy held on to his sleeve with a smug look on his face, as if he was afraid that he would get separated.

Harry wanted to die, feeling that he had lost the right to choose a mate at Hogwarts...

On the other side, Owen and Blaise walked up the rickety stairs, and met Daphne and Pansy who were lost on the way. Fortunately, they left early so they didn't have to worry about getting lost and being late for class.

Blaise didn't pay a single glance to the two girls, and was busy complaining to Owen: "Can you imagine? Crabbe and Goyle are two big guys who share the same dormitory with me! That's where they stopped, in the dormitory There was no place for me to stand, and my snoring was so loud that when I woke up in the middle of the night, I thought the castle had collapsed..."

Owen and the two girls laughed as they listened.

In fact, there are not as few first-year students as shown in the original novel. There are several freshmen dormitories in Slytherin alone. They are assigned to the same dormitory as Crabbe and Goyle...well, it is also a very high probability. .

Pansy finished laughing and then said to Daphne: "Oh, you see we got lost again. You should have listened to me and walked with Draco and Potter."

"I don't want to be watched like a monkey. Harry Potter has attracted enough attention, and Draco is so arrogant." Daphne pinched the golden hair on her cheeks and frowned.

"But I think that's great," Pansy said, raising her face as it should. "People like them should be the center of attention... I mean, they are such good people." As she said this, her cheeks flushed. Blushed.

"I say you should be reasonable when you are a nymphomaniac. Where do you see how good they are? This is the first time you and Potter have met..." Daphne covered her face helplessly, and suddenly said "Ouch", and all of a sudden, Stepped into a step that disappeared into thin air.

Owen quickly held her arm and prevented Daphne from falling embarrassingly. He had been practicing magic for many years and his reaction speed was extremely fast.

At this time, several chalkheads flew over, and Peeves flew over from the corridor beside him, holding a box of chalks and laughing loudly: "You little Slytherin ghosthead, try what Peeves does to you." Let’s love!”

"Hiss!" Blaise was hit on the head, and he shouted with chalk dust on his face, "Peeves, just wait for me!"

Owen twitched the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and wiped it quickly in front of him, catching the bits of chalk that flew near him in his hand. He coughed lightly, gestured to Peeves with a piece of chalk in his hand, and said loudly: "Peeves, you have no idea how precious this thing is!"

"What? Are you kidding the great Peeves?" Peeves paused.

"Look!" Owen smiled mischievously, held the chalk tip in his hand, and then slowly opened his fingers, and the chalk tip disappeared.

"Huh?" Peeves tilted his head in confusion and watched Owen clenching his right hand again. When he opened it again, the number of chalk heads on his palm had turned into five.

"Eh? Are you using magic to trick me?" Peeves said angrily, trying to smash the chalk box in his hand.

"How could it be? I'm just a new student. Look, I didn't even take out my wand." Owen raised his empty left hand and shook it, "Actually, the most advanced transformation techniques have been used on the chalk in Hogwarts. As long as you master the method, you can use it to get everything! They are the most precious things in this school!"

"Look if you don't believe me." Owen shook the chalk tip in his right hand, closed and opened his fingers, and the chalk tip in his palm disappeared, replaced by a shining golden Galleons. Then he repeated his old trick, and the gold coins in his hand turned into a string of fireworks.

Peeves was stunned. He looked at the things in Owen's hands, then at the chalk box in his hands, with a question mark on his forehead.

"This is my only secret, but..." Owen drawled, imitating Malfoy, "If you can pass my test, I can tell you how to activate the magic of chalk."

Peeves hugged the chalk box tightly and suddenly leaned over with a flattering smile on his face: "Please tell poor, cute, well-behaved and smart Peeves..." He raised his hand and tried to help Owen dust his robe. Non-existent dust.

"I said, you have to pass my test first and prove your ability to my satisfaction." Owen dodged Peeves' claws and showed a reserved expression.

"It's a joke, Peeves can do anything!" Peeves pointed at his finger, but he didn't look cute at all. His smile could even scare a child to tears.

"The first test is to disappear from me first and don't let me find you." Owen snapped his fingers.

"Quack, Peeves is the best at hide-and-seek!" Peeves said with a playful smile, and disappeared in a swish.

"Haha, it's interesting. I'll have fun with it later." Owen smiled and shook off the chalk dust on his hands. Rather than being a fragile, naughty child who cries and screams at every turn, he prefers to have fun with peeves, a solid and fun-loving guy. He must have had some peace of mind in the future.

"What kind of ability do you have? I want to learn it!" Blaise said with bright eyes.

"It's a very simple magic trick," Owen said. "As long as you practice the basic skills well, it's not difficult at all."

"Are you still insisting on this kind of magic? Aren't you afraid that your parents will cause trouble for you?" Daphne pursed her lips and smiled, bending down and patting the chalk dust on her clothes. Among the four people, only Owen still kept clean and tidy clothes.

"..." Owen didn't want to bring up this topic.

All the world-famous magic tricks in this world are the magic tricks of wizards, and those wizards who perform as "magicians" for Muggles are obviously deeply criticized in the wizarding world. Especially in the eyes of those wizards who looked down on Muggles, this was completely self-indulgent. They wanted to expel those people from wizarding status and break their wands.

Apparently, the Shafiqs were one of those people who rejected Muggles. Owen, who innocently told his parents "I want to be a magician" when he was a child, received a ruthless beating from his parents just as he announced his dream to become a circus monkey performing juggling for a group of gorillas.

"There's a long way to go." Owen sighed, temporarily forgetting this troublesome problem.

The four of them walked around the castle, mainly because Owen was too lazy to find the way and wanted to take a stroll. After taking many detours, they found the Charms classroom, and the class had not yet started.
