I, Hogwarts Second Week

"Owen."

Hermione turned to look at him at this moment. The little witch had been silent just now and did not speak.

She knew her current influence, and if she even stated that she was on Owen's side, Professor Slughorn would definitely faint.

So she just sat in silence. Although she was looking forward to the future vision planned by Owen in her heart, she finally chose to remain silent for the sake of the professor's health.

"You can't accept this little thing, who can blame you?" Owen waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"A trivial matter?" Hermione glanced at him. Before school started, you almost made a professor angry. This is also called a trivial matter.

"Okay, let's go if nothing happens."

A party that ended anticlimactically.

When Slughorn left, the look he looked at Owen was filled with anger and fear.

All the little wizards present could see it.

They don't care, it's normal - every new professor goes through this process, hmm - after a few months, they will feel numb and get used to it.

Harry, Hermione, Owen and others left the carriage.

The train was clattering and clattering, and the aisles were almost empty. Almost everyone had returned to the carriage to change into their school uniforms and pack their luggage.

"It's strange that Slughorn didn't invite Malfoy and his followers." After returning to the compartment, Harry said with some regret that he had just heard Ron say that Owen had 'fixed' the guy. , I really want to see what Malfoy’s expression is now.

"He just wants to curry favor with people who are related to prominent people," said Ginny. "Needless to say about the Slytherins. The others - Luna should be because of her father. The sales volume of "The Quibbler" now far exceeds that of "The Daily Prophet" and is sold throughout Europe. Qiu Zhang—— I heard that the Zhang family is also a pure-blood wizard, maybe they are high-ranking officials somewhere."

"Slughorn isn't really stupid for wanting to tangle with Death Eaters."

"That's true -" Harry nodded. Then sat back in the chair.

Ginny did not follow. She went to other compartments with Hermione, Hannah, and Koatl, apparently ready to change clothes.

As for Irving

There was absolutely no way Ginny would leave him in Harry's compartment, so she forced him to find a separate compartment by himself.

After changing into robes, several people gathered in a cubicle again.

Time passed quickly while chatting about the war situation in Europe.

The sky outside the window changed from bright to orange, then to a final touch of roses, and then darkened entirely.

At this time the train also slowly stopped.

Several people walked off the train together.

I bumped into an acquaintance head-on.

"Why are you here?" Harry was a little surprised. He often saw this person in the first month of summer vacation.

"According to the arrangements within the ministry, I am currently staying in Hogsmeade to provide some additional protection to the school."

Tonks walked over to her. She looked in very bad condition, her pink hair turned into ash brown, and her face was haggard, as if she hadn't had a good night's sleep in a few days.

The clothes she wore were no longer the same as those of the weird sisters.

She looked much more restrained, wearing a black robe and shirt and trousers, which was a huge change from her previous appearance.

"What's wrong with her?" Hermione whispered softly, and only Owen could hear her voice.

"Maybe she's been poisoned by love!" Owen whispered. He wasn't sure what kind of relationship Tonks had with Lupin.

They should have never crossed paths - at least during this summer vacation.

Professor Lupine was always in Sweden, and Tonks was acting as Harry's bodyguard. How could a relationship develop between the two of them hundreds of kilometers apart?

Unless they dated before this summer vacation.

Professor Lupine was able to ask Dumbledore to go to Sweden, which may have meant avoiding Tonks.

If you explain it this way, it makes sense.

"School starts today, and I just wanted to come over and take a look..." Tonks said flatly, without any energy at all.

"Are you the only one interested?" Harry looked around, but did not see the familiar person, Hagrid.

"No, Prout, Savage and Delis are all here too."

"Isn't Bill here? He hasn't come back?" Ron asked.

"Sorry -" Tonks said, "He's in Paris at the moment."

Hearing the sound, Ron fell silent again.

Several people walked off the station.

Follow the ruts on the ground and walk in the direction of the carriage.

Ginny secretly observed Tonks. Last year, she was so inquisitive about other people's affairs (sometimes even a little annoying), so fond of laughing, and so fond of telling jokes. Now she seemed to have aged several years suddenly, looking much more serious and resolute. Is this all the consequence of what happened in Europe during this period?

And Hermione - she was asking Owen.

"What love? What do you know?"

"It may not be accurate." Owen whispered, "I'm not sure. Maybe it has something to do with Professor Lupin."

"Professor Lupin?" Hermione looked in disbelief, "Tonks and Professor Lupin?"

Can't blame Hermione for being surprised.

After all, there is a big difference between the two in terms of age and seniority.

Tonks is the only daughter of Ted Tonks (Muggle-born) and Andromeda Black Tonks (pure-blood).

Her mother, Andromeda Black, was Sirius' cousin.

The three sisters of the Black family, Bellatrix, Andromeda, and Narcissa. The only person closest to Sirius was Andromeda, who also had Muggle blood because of the same tainted bloodline.

Tonks is Sirius' niece.

And what is the relationship between Lupine and Sirius?

It would be amazing if he could accept Tonks' love.

Of course, this is also related to Lupine's identity as a werewolf. He is afraid of marriage and having offspring. He is afraid that his werewolf blood will be inherited by others.

In the original book, the Second Wizarding War intensified later, and everyone - especially the members of the Order of the Phoenix - were in danger. Those red tapes were finally thrown away, and the two came together.

But now - despite the fierce fighting in Europe, Lupine and Tonks are not in any danger for their lives, and - and Sirius is still alive.

Although it is a bit unethical, the death of Sirius is also an important reason why the two people in the original book can get together.

In the original story, fifth-year Harry sneaked into the Ministry of Magic and fought the approaching Death Eaters in the Department of Mysteries before the Order of the Phoenix came to support him.

Tonks' opponent was Bellatrix, but of course she was not as strong as Bella and was defeated and seriously injured and fell into a coma.

And this also indirectly caused Sirius's death.

After that, she fell silent in Sirius's death and self-blame, unable to extricate herself. Perhaps it was Lupine's comfort and care at that time that made her completely fall in love with this frail man.

But in this world, many things have not happened, so Owen doesn't know what the current relationship between the two is.

Owen whispered his guess to Hermione.

Ginny was comforting Tonks. She simply thought it was the European War that made her feel so low.

But Ginny's comfort didn't seem to be of much use.

Tonks used a very forced smile to prevaricate a few words, and then fell silent again.

She didn't speak again until they got into the carriage.

He looked into the distance with deep thoughts, not knowing what he was thinking.

After listening to Owen's story, Hermione was shocked by what happened between Tonks and Lupin.

But when she was about to speak to Tonks, she was pulled back by Owen.

"This is just my guess. It would be embarrassing if it weren't true."

"Oh - it seems so." Hermione nodded.

However, she kept this matter in mind and planned to investigate it after a while.

Ten minutes later, the convoy pulled by Thestrals drove to the main entrance of the North District of Hogwarts and stopped.

This is the only way for little wizards to leave the castle. Except for first-year students who need to take a boat to enter the castle, other grades must enter from the north gate.

At this moment, many young wizards were queuing up in front of the iron gate. They seemed to be checking something in front of them.

Tonks got out of the car and joined the inspectors.

Owen saw the iron gate in front of him covered with Quyicao, and they were singing happily.

Although it doesn't make any sense.

However, the leading inspector still asked the senior wizards to cast the Patronus Charm one after another.

This may be for double insurance.

In addition, Owen also saw the little wizards' luggage piled beside the flower bed at the door, and two wizards were waving their wands to check something.

"It's really strict." Owen said.

"I have never seen such a big battle. The security at Hogwarts this year must be too perverted." Suddenly, a boy with black hair appeared from the team behind him.

He walked up to Owen. glanced at him, then

Another glance.

?

Another glance?

"Look again. Believe it or not, I'll knock off your eyeballs." Owen said.

"Well" Justin smiled awkwardly, "Why do I feel that you seem to be much more beautiful - um - why don't you go to a separate dormitory by yourself?"

"Huh?" Owen looked sideways at this guy, "What? Are you losing face by sharing a dormitory with me?"

"No - just - for the sake of mental health."

"What does that have to do with me? I'm healthy!"

Justin, this guy, had a heated fight with Susan. The two of them fell in love with each other as soon as they met on the train and have never been together.

"I" someone is in trouble.

The inspection was neither fast nor slow, and they arrived in a short time.

"Huh? Why are you here?"

It was unexpected - really unexpected.

When Owen stood in front of the iron gate, in the garden in front of the castle in the North District, he saw the man who shouldn't be here.

A woman, wearing a light blue robe that was completely different from European wizards, seemed to be some kind of improved costume.

He was wearing white boots, his hair was gently fluttering in the breeze, and his bright brown eyes were looking at him with a hint of cunning.

"Wait a minute - where's Snape? Didn't he teach us Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

"Academic exchange——" the visitor said.

"Academic exchange?" Owen said disdainfully, "Do you think I will believe it?"

"It doesn't matter whether you think about it or not. Anyway, I was invited by Dumbledore."

"Dumbledore?" Owen stared straight at the woman, "He's looking for you?"

Hmm - maybe it's because she inherited the magic power of an alien god, so the old principal wanted to use it to study it?

It's possible.

At present, there are too few wizards who have obtained the magic power of alien gods. Apart from Koatl, the only one left is Voldemort.

[Purcher] There is a lot of research materials left over there.

But Zhang Xiaolin's situation is not the same as the [Purifier]'s human body alchemy technology.

Obviously, Zhang Xiaolin wants to be closer to Voldemort's current situation.

She is an excellent observation material.

"Hey - what's your attitude? No matter how you say it, I am a professor and you are a student, please show some respect to me."

"I saved your life? Is this your attitude towards your savior?"

"Owen—" Behind him, Hermione quickly pulled his sleeve.

Although she didn't recognize the woman in front of her, she seemed to be a professor.

Professors should still be treated with the respect they deserve.

"Oh - is this your little girlfriend? Humph - if you don't learn well at a young age, you should fall in love early."

"Never mind your business, let us go quickly." Owen said impatiently.

"No -" the woman refused, "Now, I seriously suspect that you are a [pretender] pretending to be a man. Go over there and take off your clothes for me to check."

The woman's eyes flashed, "Today, I want to see if you are a boy or a girl."

"."

Owen took half a step back, then raised his head cautiously, "You're such a pervert, Ta Miao!"

Although he possesses most of the memories of the person in front of him, except for the memories related to magic, he is not in the mood to check the daily memories one by one.

He really didn't know that the other party would have such a personality.

"Professor—" Hermione frowned. The eyes looking at the woman in front of him were full of wariness. "Owen can't be faked."

She was right. Can the [Pretender] defeat him who possesses ancient magic?

"Ouch." A playful expression appeared on the woman's face, "Your little girlfriend is jealous."

"."

"My surname is Zhang, if you don't want all the teachers and students at Hogwarts to know, you started secretly reading the spring books that are now placed under the bed in your bedroom when you were twelve years old."

"Stop—" Zhang Xiaolin's face suddenly became unnatural. She glared at Owen fiercely. She had a feeling that this guy could keep her secret for the rest of her life.

"Go over and disappear from my eyes quickly!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Owen led Hermione and the others into the castle grounds.

After the group of people had traveled a certain distance, Hermione asked. "who is she?"

"Zhang Xiaolin." Owen said bluntly without hiding anything.

"It's her?" Hermione said clearly. During the summer vacation, Owen told them about what happened in Australia.

"She is also a mortal chosen by the gods?" Koyatel said at this time.

She looked back and saw Zhang Xiaolin sitting back by the flower bed again, her long black hair fluttering in the wind, which looked very similar to hers.
