Fortunately, the Main Line is at Hogwarts

"Charles, don't you think you should be more"

Hermione and Charles walked hurriedly in the corridor, one after the other, and next to them were the same little wizards who were either in a hurry to start class, or had already finished today's class, and were lazily laughing and playing with their companions them.

They were no strangers to Charles and Hermione.

In fact, Shire didn't know yet, he was considered a celebrity at Hogwarts. After all, Gryffindor and Slytherin were incompatible, which was known to the entire wizarding world.

Wearing different school uniforms representing their respective houses, but mixed together, there are only Hermione and Shire in the whole Hogwarts.

Those in the same grade know Ciel's name, and the seniors and other colleges may not know Ciel's name, but they definitely know that there is such a person.

probably

Oh, you mean that Slytherin kid who hangs out with the Gryffindors every day? Or, that Gryffindor girl who hangs out with Slytherin kids every day? this level.

"..be nicer?"

Charles took the second half of Hermione's sentence.

"Yes."

Hermione let out a breath, seemingly helpless.

She knew very well that there was nothing wrong with Charles, neither was Ron, and there was no personal enmity between the two of them. Ron felt uncomfortable with Charles because he was a Slytherin, it was as simple as that.

The current situation might be better, but she already had a premonition that maybe in the future, maybe when Charles and her grades got higher and higher, this situation might get worse.

"I'm not friendly enough."

Charles quickly brought Hermione to the vicinity of Gryffindor Tower.

Recently, I ran through all the dungeons. Even if Shire is a speedrunner, it wasted nearly two weeks of time in the dungeons.

Perhaps this is not a big deal for adults, but for a young wizard who is in the rapid growth period, two weeks is enough for Shire to grow so tall.

It's a pity that Hermione is not to be outdone. Although her height will stabilize at a little over 1.7 meters in the future, girls grow up relatively early.

Even though Charles took advantage of the dungeon time, Hermione still caught up.

"The boy named Ron?"

Rapunzel chimed in.

"He looks kind of rude and stupid, but don't you think he's cute with his freckles?"

"cute?"

Hermione and Charles said in unison.

Ciel felt that Rapunzel's aesthetics was hopeless. Not long ago, she still thought Snape was cute. Perhaps the abundant magic power allowed her to see some indescribable beauty? So her aesthetic is different from others?

"Not cute at all!"

Bai Xue next to him questioned.

"I think the boy named Harry is good. His eyes are very beautiful, like a little mouse I used to clean the floor with me."

Charles and Hermione fell silent again.

As a member of synaesthesia, Hermione could feel that these two guys were only discussing appearance, and had no other meaning in their hearts.

But this weird look and description

"never mind."

Being interrupted by these two idiots, Charles also skipped the topic by the way.

"I'll come to see you tonight."

he said suddenly.

"Tonight, what can I do for you?"

Hermione suddenly felt a little stuttering, and she didn't know why, but fortunately, no one seemed to care about it.

"Teach you two hands of practical magic, lest you be swallowed by a basilisk."

Speaking of the basilisk, Hermione finally lost the awkward feeling.

"Didn't you say that the door of the secret room was not opened?"

"Be prepared."

………………

The two parted under the tower.

They didn't have classes together in the afternoon, Gryffindor had herbal medicine class, Slytherin had no class in the afternoon, only astronomy class in the evening.

Charles returned to the dormitory, and had a lot of time to sort out the magic that Hermione needed.

Of course the door to the Chamber of Secrets has been opened.

Although the plot must have been deflected due to his appearance, but according to Shire's experience, this degree of deflection is not enough to shake the identity of the diary holder, Ginny Weasley.

In all likelihood, the diary is still in her hand.

After all, Ciel didn't intentionally interfere with the plot related to the diary, and he took Draco to watch the wonderful WWE showdown in Diagon Alley at the beginning of school, and he didn't intervene either.

Shire is indeed allowing the plot to develop according to the original history, and even needs time, and will add fuel to the flames, because at the beginning of the school, he was very sure what he needed to do.

Take down the Alliance of Evil and unify a fraction of the Slytherin power.

The former is relatively simple, and it can be done when the Cannon Fodder Knights are almost trained, but the latter is more troublesome.

Although in the magic world, one can do everything with enough strength, but the problem is that even if Charles is not afraid of Dumbledore now, it doesn't mean he can suppress the entire magic world.

Maybe he can in the future, but maybe by that time, the invasion of the witch empire will also start.

Charles didn't want to face a war alone.

So at this stage, it is not as easy as imagined for Charles to unify part of the Slytherin power.

Wizards have their own complete social system, and the one with the most complicated connections is pure blood. If any family of pure blood wizards is involved, a lot of pure blood wizards may be involved.

Because everyone is related.

Charles is not Voldemort, and he doesn't want to turn his secret affairs into a frontal attack. After all, he wants to save the future, not destroy the present.

Moreover, the Ministry of Magic is afraid of Voldemort, because Voldemort's name was killed, it does not mean that the Ministry of Magic will be afraid of a dark wizard who does not know where to come.

Even Fudge, who wanted to overwhelm Dumbledore, would not let go of any chance to increase his prestige, and might send Aurors with all his strength to encircle and suppress him.

The whole scene will become more and more chaotic.

That's not what Charles wanted.

So, he needs something to catch the eye.

And what else is more suitable than the things in the secret room.

………………

Late at night, in Malfoy's manor.

As the flames in the fireplace in the living room suddenly turned into dazzling green, a tall figure stepped out of the flames.

The elf Dobby, who had been prepared for a long time, hurriedly helped to clean the dust, but the visitor just kicked it aside impatiently.

"Lucius."

"The news I want."

Draco's father, Lucius Malfoy, tapped his wand, and two wine glasses floated out beside him. The red wine on the side automatically tilted to fill the glass half full, and he passed the glass over.

"Senior Qiwei, long time no see."

He said in an unhurried tone.

Kiwi Prewett and Lucius were of the same generation, and he knew very well the style of this junior who was a year younger than himself.

He also knew what kind of people the Malfoy family was like, so he was silent for a while, and he silently sat on another high-back chair that was prepared, took the wine glass, and put it down.

"Long time no see, Lucius."

he said.

Cough, another chapter will be postponed for another day...
