After lunch, Hector and the others walked to the yard to take a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately, the weather on the first day of school was very average. The sky was covered with dark clouds and the air was very humid, as if it was going to rain. However, no one had the idea of returning to the dormitory. The reason was that the Gryffindor Tower was on the eighth floor, which was almost the top of the entire Hogwarts Castle. Going back would be energy-consuming and there would not be much time to rest. It was really not cost-effective. What's more, it hasn't rained yet, and the smell of grass and soil in the air was fresh enough.

So, Hector and the others stayed in the yard for a while, and everyone took advantage of the short break before class to do something relaxing. Harry and Ron stood together and talked about Quidditch. Hermione, who was not interested in this, found a place to sit down and spread out the book"Traveling with Vampires" by Lockhart.》——The little witch was almost obsessed with the book. She would read it intently whether she was having breakfast or lunch.���Neville should be in the greenhouse.

Seamus told me that Professor Sprout had just received a new batch of fang geraniums. Neville should have taken the initiative to go over and help. As for Hector, he was chatting with Ginny here.

"How do you feel about life at Hogwarts?"

"It's very good, and the food is also very delicious, much better than at home."

Looking at Hector's half-smile, Ginny realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she quickly made up for her words.

"I'm not saying that my mother's cooking is not delicious. It's really delicious, but the variety is a bit monotonous. You know, it's easy to get tired of eating the same few dishes all the time."

Hector easily accepted Ginny's explanation. After all, after eating Aberforth's mashed potatoes for a while, he now felt sick when he saw mashed potatoes. Unfortunately, the Weasley brothers who heard Ginny's words didn't think so. The two brothers have always appeared in very coincidental places at very coincidental times, just like now

"My mother will know about this!"

Fred said this in the tone of a certain blond Slytherin, and George, who was standing next to him, added fuel to the fire with a smirk on his face.

"Poor mother, if she knew you said that to her, she would be so sad!"

Before George finished speaking, Fred immediately leaned on his shoulder and cried. But this did not scare Ginny. She just blushed for a moment and immediately fought back sharply.

"Poor mom, if she knew you were still doing those 'non-study related' things in school, how sad would she be?"

The Weasley brothers looked a little embarrassed, and they sat on Ginny's left and right. The winks they had made before turned into flattering smiles. It was obvious that Ginny had some leverage over the two brothers, and it was so big that she could easily control these two guys who were rampant in school.

"We were wrong."

Fred said very straightforwardly, and George nodded vigorously in agreement.

"Good to know."

Ginny, who had taken the initiative, did not press on. Her face was filled with smugness. She waved her hand, and Fred and George walked away tactfully, without the arrogance they had last year.

"I've never seen them like this before,"

Hector was very curious about the reaction of the Weasley twins. He looked at the freckled girl next to him who was full of energy and had thick red hair like flames. Ginny smiled very heartily.

"Of course, even my mother can't do anything about them at home - but I'm not afraid of them."

"Why?"

Hector seemed to want to get to the bottom of it. Ginny hesitated for a moment. She glanced at Hector and continued after a while.

"It's okay to tell you - Fred and George put most of their products in my room. After all, my mother rarely goes to my room during surprise inspections. Compared with theirs and Ron's room, my room is much safer." Ginny said in a brisk tone, with a bright smile on her face.

"So, as long as Fred and George don't leave home and live outside, as long as they need to stuff their various things into my room, they have to be polite to me."

Ginny, who is not disturbed by the diary like in the original book, is a lively little girl. She is humorous and quick-witted, and with her infectious smile, Hector feels that talking to her is really a relaxing thing.

"What are the classes like this afternoon?"

After a while of small talk, Hector appropriately interjected such a question.

"First it was History of Magic, then Professor Flitwick's Charms class, both with Ravenclaw House - I heard that Professor Flitwick was a very interesting person, I can't wait to get to know him"

Ginny's eyes fell on Harry. Hector followed her gaze and saw a little gray-haired boy holding an ordinary Muggle camera standing next to Harry. He lowered his head and looked very embarrassed. The one walking in this direction was of course Draco Malfoy. Behind him followed two men, Crabbe and Goyle, who were even bigger than last year. These two generals were always like bodyguards, always inseparable from Malfoy.

To be honest, Hector really didn't expect to see Malfoy in this place and at this time. Most of the people who could stay in the courtyard on the first floor during lunch break were Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, the two brothers who lived on the eighth floor. As for Slytherin and Hufflepuff, the dormitories of these two colleges were underground, so it was naturally not as troublesome to go back to the dormitory as the little lion and the little eagle.

However, Malfoy was still so persistent. He didn't take a nap at this time, nor did he stay in the dormitory. Instead, he came all the way to the courtyard near the hall to find trouble with Harry. If Hector remembered correctly, this should be related to Harry's autographed photo. Soon, Malfoy's words confirmed Hector's thoughts.

""Everyone line up, Harry Potter is going to give out autographed photos!"

This shout really attracted a lot of people's attention. Those who heard it clearly, those who didn't know why, and those who just wanted to watch the fun unconsciously gathered around, and the yard suddenly became lively.

Ginny stood up from the seat next to Hermione and walked quickly towards Harry.

"What happened?"

The noisy environment brought Hermione back to her senses from reading. She raised her head and looked at the crowd gradually gathering in front of her. She asked Hector who was sitting next to her,

"Malfoy is bothering Harry again, saying that Harry is going to start sending out autographed photos."

Hector looked at the crowd that was gathering in the courtyard and continued,

"I didn't realize Harry was so famous."

"Harry is indeed very famous in the wizarding world, after all, he is the child who defeated the Dark Lord."

Hermione lowered her head again, reading a book while answering absentmindedly,

"But I think a large part of them are here just to join in the fun - after all, Harry has already been in Hogwarts for a year, and they weren't like this last year."

""Maybe no one has made a good start?"

Hector said this, and soon he saw a figure in a gorgeous green robe. Of course, where there is heat, our Mr. Lockhart is indispensable.

Hector was very surprised that Lockhart could squeeze into the crowd while keeping his robes very neat. It can be seen that this is not the first time Lockhart has done such a thing. However, Hector's attention was quickly diverted from Lockhart and Harry, who was tightly hooked by his arm. His sight fell on the three Ravenclaw wizards who were walking away from the crowd and heading towards Hogwarts Castle. It was Wendel and his friends.

The sharp-eyed Hector also noticed that Wendel had a glass-like thing in his hand, which looked like a bottle. In the bottle, there was a bottle with a bottle of something. It was filled with golden sand, and looked very delicate.

Wendel was constantly fiddling with the bottle, and with his body blocking the view, Hector could not quite see what it was. However, from the three people's unusual worried expressions, he could guess that the golden thing must have broken down.

Hector stood up quickly, struggled through the crowd, and rushed in the direction where Wendel and the other two disappeared. Now he understood how difficult it was to move through the crowd as quickly and accurately as Lockhart.

When Hector had completely passed through the crowd, the figures of the three were almost invisible. He could only walk along the corridor towards their first class in the afternoon, which was the History of Magic classroom.
