From Kamal Taj to Hogwarts

Xiwen woke up in the darkness. The surroundings were still dark, with only the dim red light remaining from the long-extinguished charcoal fire in the fireplace. Looking up at the black lake outside the window, there were faint waves that were not very obvious.

He briefly sensed the current situation of his body - Xiwen in his soul state was chatting with Helena as Strange, while his body was lying quietly on the bed thinking, distracted but not interested.

Hard work.

Just like in Karma Taj, the strength of Xiwen's soul can provide him with support, allowing him to freely control his body even when his soul is out of the body, instead of just resting with his body like other mages.

, the ancient way of soul learning improves learning efficiency.

Not only that, he could even feel that a secondary soul based on his current body was slowly growing in his empty body.

Theoretically, every body should be born with a dedicated soul at birth. But for some reason, the soul that was supposed to be born in Rozier's body never appeared at all, so that the empty body instinctively accepted it.

Xiwen's soul body wanders in the gaps in the universe.

Now, after eleven years of nourishment by Xiwen's powerful soul, this body has the conditions to give birth to a soul again. However, the body at this time has already been deeply marked by Xiwen, and the regenerated soul can only be used as a soul.

Its secondary soul exists...

'Maybe one day I will have a clone!' Xiwen thought with a little excitement.

…

No longer thinking so much, Xiwen decided to get up first and then talk.

After groping for the wand beside the pillow, he said in a very soft voice: "Lumos."

The tip of the wand lit up with a faint fluorescent light, which only illuminated his own bed.

Taking out the pocket watch from under the pillow, you can see that the hour hand is pointing to the Roman numeral "VI (six)".

The schoolwork in the lower grades of Hogwarts is actually very easy. The first class does not start until nine in the morning, so many young wizards have developed the habit of sleeping until dawn.

Xiwen was forced to wake up at dawn for morning exercises in Kamal Taj for a long time. Although he relaxed a little when he came to the new world, he still woke up naturally around 6 a.m.

After looking around and seeing that all his roommates were still asleep, Xiwen changed his clothes alone and left the dormitory.

There was no one in the common room, but the fireplace had been lit, burning with warm green flames, dispelling the cold and humid air that was located at the bottom of the lake. There were also several round-headed lake dolphins in the large fish tank that swayed from time to time.

, stirred up the slightly turbid water, adding a bit of life to the quiet space.

After thinking for a while, Xiwen decided to go to the Black Lake for his routine morning exercises.

The spiral staircase leading to the ground was dark and long, and the experience was so bad that he couldn't help but start thinking wildly.

'Slytherin's lounge is probably the farthest from the ground. Why wasn't I assigned to Ravenclaw? I heard that Ravenclaw's lounge is on a tower. The sun is very bright, and it can be seen from a distance.

See the scenery of the Black Lake...'

Of course, if he had known that Ravenclaw Tower was too high and it was extremely inconvenient for students to go up and down every time, he might not be so mentally unbalanced.

…

Finally, Xiwen climbed the long stairs and came to the ground. The sky in the distance had turned fish-belly white, vaguely reflecting the appearance of the layers of clouds in the sky. The torches in the entrance courtyard were still burning brightly, and in contrast, the layer of clouds

Still looks a little dim.

Looking out from the courtyard window, you can see the long stone steps that you walked last night. Because the sun had already set when you arrived at the houseboat by boat, and the sky was dark, it was difficult to notice the specific surroundings.

It is now slightly bright. From the window of the cloister, you can see the southeast side of the castle from top to bottom. You can find that the entire castle stands on a cliff. Except for the narrow area around the boat house, it is difficult to see the southeast side near the entrance courtyard.

Flat lake shore.

"It seems that the plan to do morning exercises on the lakeshore has been ruined." Sivan shrugged. "Maybe I should try my luck near the Quidditch pitch north of the castle."

Anyway, it was still early, so Xiwen was not in a hurry. He walked up the stairs outside the auditorium door and entered the main tower with a leisurely attitude. Then through a spacious corridor, he could reach the corner tower on the east side of the castle, where there was a towering stone bridge crossing it.

Between it and the astronomy tower in the teaching area.

The stone bridge was built on a steep cliff. As I walked on the bridge, the cool morning breeze blew in my face, causing Xiwen's wizard robe to flutter.

Facing the wind, Xiwen unbuttoned his robe and threw it behind him, and the hem of his clothes fluttered in the wind like a cloak. Then, he put his elbows on the railing, narrowed his eyes covered by the wind, and looked down at the swaying cliff.

The pine trees still have an unreal feeling.

'I have lived in this world with a new identity for more than ten years, and I also came to attend a magic school?'

You know, the last life only lasted a little more than twenty years, including the childhood period with no clear memories.

Now this clear eleven years of experience often makes him feel confused. Occasionally when he wakes up from a dream late at night, he suddenly thinks that he is still on the bamboo mat of Kama Taj; sometimes he still doubts that Kama Taj’s experience is nothing more than the experience of Kama Taj.

It is a long dream, and I should belong to this universe...

Xiwen was lost in thought, unaware that he was still in the cold wind.

At this moment, there was a slender hand holding a thick magic book, blocking his sight and the cool breeze blowing on his face. The owner of that hand patted his shoulder with the other hand to interrupt.

influenced his thinking.

"Do you want to catch a cold on the first day of school so you don't go to class?" a magnetic female voice asked.

Xiwen raised his head from his arm and saw a senior witch with gray hair, blue eyes, and black-rimmed glasses looking at him in surprise.

"Are you...a prefect of Ravenclaw?" Xiwen vaguely remembered that he should have met her once on the train.

"Miranda Gorshak." She nodded flatly. "I'm so glad you can still remember me."

"You don't look happy at all." Xiwen cursed secretly.

Today, Miranda has long gray hair, wearing a loose light blue skirt under her school uniform. She is not as serious and rigid as she was on the train, but has a clean and pure temperament blown by the breeze.

Xiwen couldn't help but said: "If you change your glasses, you would be a beautiful and intellectual witch."

Miranda raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you Slytherin 'nobles' so talkative? You dare to molest your senior sister on the first day of school."

Xiwen smiled awkwardly: "Ahem, you may have some misunderstandings about Slytherin's 'nobles'..."

Miranda said: "I didn't misunderstand anything. After four years at Hogwarts, I already know what Slytherin is like."

It seems that Slytherin's reputation is indeed not very good... Sivan spread his hands helplessly.

"Speaking of which, you don't look like a Slytherin." Miranda suddenly said seriously. "I have never seen anyone in Slytherin get up so early."

"Really?" Sivan asked enthusiastically. "Do you think I look a bit like a Ravenclaw? The Sorting Hat struggled for a long time to sort me into Slytherin or Ravenclaw."

Miranda didn't hold back after all, and said with a twitching corner of her mouth: "It's a good thing you weren't assigned to Ravenclaw, otherwise the first grade would have been led astray..."

…

Xiwen quickly changed the topic and forced Miranda, who was about to practice magic spells, to ask her to familiarize herself with the castle environment, and took the opportunity to ask where there was a suitable place for morning exercises.

Helpless, Miranda had to take Xiwen away from the stone bridge and came to the Astronomy Tower. The Astronomy Tower belonged to the building complex in the teaching area. A square corridor connected several tall towers.

There is a spacious square in the middle of the promenade. The square is covered with a layer of green lawn, and a fountain is located in the center of the lawn.

"You can do morning exercises here." Miranda pointed to the lawn downstairs with her chin.

Xiwen thought about it for a while, and then said with a dark face that he couldn't accept it: "Everyone who is going to class will pass by here. I don't think I am thick-skinned enough to be treated like a monkey in public and still act calmly."

…”

Miranda chuckled and said: "As long as you get up early enough, there won't be many people here."

Xiwen looked at the scattered students downstairs holding books and waving wands, with a few black lines on his face: "Those are students from your college, right?"

He pointed to the west side of the castle and said: "Don't think I don't know, your Ravenclaw Tower is over there. No matter how early I get up, I can't catch those nerds in your courtyard!"

This sentence seems to cover a bit too much.

"Be careful what you say!" Miranda replied with a dark face, and then she seemed to realize something. "You seem to be quite familiar with the castle. Are you really a new student?"

Xiwen secretly thought something was wrong. He pretended to be a ghost last night and was taken around by Nicholas and the fat monk for a long time. And ghosts are not restricted by the terrain, so they almost browsed the entire castle.

Xiwen completely forgot about this incident when he woke up today. When he stayed with Miranda, he didn't show the strange feeling of being new at all, which aroused suspicion.
