All things are three at Hogwarts

Allen came to the location of the Three Broomsticks Tavern in his memory. Its layout was similar to what he remembered, but the wooden door was closed. It was obvious that Mrs. Rosmerta had not been born yet, and this place was not even the Two Broomsticks Tavern yet.

Allen stood up a little and looked through the wooden fence at the house full of life. After noticing the house number engraved with Woodcroft's Hangis, he thought of what he had learned from the history of magic. : Hogsmeade is the only pure wizarding village in the UK. It was founded around the same time as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and was founded by the medieval wizard Hangis of Woodcroft. Hangis himself was born in Woodcroft, Gloucestershire. After reaching the age of 11, he entered Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into Hufflepuff House.

After graduation, after Hangis witnessed the various situations in which wizards were persecuted by Muggles, he came up with the idea of ​​building a village only for wizards, and tried his best to turn it into a reality, Hogsmeade. As a result, it became a good place for wizards to hide from Muggles and communicate with each other.

The location of the Three Broomsticks bar where Allen was at this time is said to be the residence of Hanjis.

Allen, who didn't find any shops except a tavern, shook his head and reluctantly walked along the village path without hope. From time to time, he could see little wizards in black magic robes riding unscrupulously. Flying through the sky on broomsticks; some senior students were obviously using apparation; in some corners of the village, Allen also saw some wizards teleported using portkeys. Floo powder would have to wait until the thirteenth century. One of the people featured in the Chocolate Frog cartoon was invented after she was born, named Ignatia Wilde-Smith, a Ravenclaw student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Apparently, the Statute of Secrecy, which was implemented in 1692, was not yet in effect at this time, so these Hogwarts students were able to travel to school via unregulated travel.

After the International Statute of Secrecy was implemented, this problem has been plaguing wizards: how to ensure that hundreds of students arrive at Hogwarts safely every year without attracting the attention of Muggles. In order to allow students to go to school, door keys are distributed. At various selected locations across the UK.

However, portkeys are not an ideal method of school transportation, because each year up to one-third of students fail to arrive at school on time because they miss the opportunity to use the doorkey, and many students become confused about the doorkey.

A return to the previous unsupervised methods of travel was impossible as that would breach the Secrecy Act, and successive headmasters of the school were adamantly opposed to using other, safer means of entering the castle such as using Floo powder, which would threaten the castle. safety guarantee.

It wasn't until the 1980s that a witch named Otalian Gamble, who was related to the founder of the Jumping Magic Joke Shop, became the Minister of Magic and solved this problem. Otalian proposed a "bold and controversial" plan. Inspired by Muggle technology, she realized that trains could be a safe and comfortable alternative to portkeys and other unregulated modes of travel.

In order to obtain a train, the Ministry of Magic undertook a massive project involving one hundred and sixty-seven Oblivion Charms and the largest concealment spell in British history. The morning after the work was completed, the residents of Hogsmeade woke up to find a train station that had never been seen before, while Muggle railway employees in Crewe spent the next year. I feel like I misplaced something important.

The Ministry of Magic further modified the Hogwarts Express before it was handed over to the school for use. This plan was strongly protested by some pure-blood families at the beginning, who refused to use this Muggle-built device as a means of transportation for wizards. They claimed the method was "unsafe, unhygienic and degrading". However, this opposition disappeared after the Ministry of Magic said that students should either take the train to school or not go.

Allen, who had gained nothing in Hogsmeade and could only think about an article, had to put on his hood again, led his prey towards Hogwarts School, and teleported directly to a wizard's room. It seemed rude and impolite, and might even directly invite attacks from the other party. Although Hufflepuff would obviously not be so intense, Alan, who had already brought such a shabby gift, felt a little embarrassed inside, so he decided to make the visit more formal. Some.

When he saw the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar Hogwarts Castle, Allen felt a little more relaxed and happy.

Looking from a distance, there are far fewer students walking around the huge castle of Hogwarts than there were in Allen's time. Although Allen thought that there were very few young wizards in his time, it seems that there are far fewer now. Something outrageous.

By the black lake outside the college, students in twos and threes gathered around their teacher, listening carefully to the teacher's explanation. These students all seem to have a very fulfilling life. Hogwarts provides them with a stable place to study and the opportunity to learn magic, which they cherish very much. They also regard Hogwarts as their home and are immersed in magic. During the study, they tirelessly absorbed knowledge. It was obvious that most of the students were from Muggles and mixed-blood wizards with little background.

After all, in this era, most pure-blood families have their own way of cultivating talents. They are more accustomed to using the old method to train their children, that is, passing on the magical knowledge and skills mastered by their own family to their children within the family. Wizards, they don’t trust Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry yet, and they don’t think that the little wizards of their families will be better trained by mixing with what they consider mudbloods in the school. There are only a few pure bloods. Families will send their children here in honor of the four founders, as long as they continue to learn the family secrets after graduation.

It seems that even in Allen's time, Hogwarts maintained its reputation as the world's number one magic school. Now, because the school has just opened and its reputation is not yet great, the number of people willing to come to study is too small. Their teaching method is also close to the traditional learning method of mentors leading apprentices to learn.

"If we really listen to Salazar Slytherin, it will be difficult for Hogwarts to continue..." Along the way, Allen observed Hogwarts in this time and space.

At the same time, he also got the attention of the wizards. Without him, Allen's appearance at this time was too conspicuous. The precious magic robe with constantly rotating magic power made it obvious at a glance that this was definitely not something ordinary wizards could get casually. , and this kind of appearance that exudes weirdness and evil is also scary. If it weren't for the fact that there were a few deer placed on floating saucers behind him, which made him somewhat popular, the timid ones would probably start running away.

On the stone bridge of Hogwarts, Allen stopped. A middle-aged witch dressed as a professor in brown robes with slightly sunken eyes and red hair pushed past his students and walked over to stop him. If her trembling voice hadn't betrayed her innermost feelings, she would have looked very brave despite her tall stature: "This gentleman...who are you looking for? I can inform you."

"Thank you Bonnie, but I don't think it's so troublesome." Allen said in a kind tone to stop the female apprentice of Hufflepuff who was an acquaintance in front of him and loved to burn things. Obviously, the other party did not recognize him at this time.

Allen raised his hand, and a raven made of shadows landed on Allen's arm. It had an extra eye in the center of its weird forehead. Allen handed Hufflepuff's invitation to Three Eyes. Raven, the raven held the invitation in its mouth, flapped its wings, and flew out of sight in an instant.

The expression on the red-haired witch's face became even more frightened, and she stared at Allen's wandless magic in stunned silence. Then she lowered her head and glanced again at Allen's chin exposed under the wizard's hood, which was too pale to look like an ordinary person's skin. Thinking of the raven just now with black shadows all over its body, she was a little afraid of whether this magic was black magic or whether it would be right. Harm to the recipient?

"Don't panic, Helga Hufflepuff and you and I are actually old friends. I just came to see her, and I don't mean any harm." Alan, who had seen through the other person's thoughts, explained.

Helga's female apprentice obviously did not accept this explanation. The devil's skull belt around Allen's waist that exuded the breath of hell and a faint smell of sulfur attracted her sight and attention.

"You can see through your own thoughts and know your own name without casting a spell! A master of Legilimency!" The witch felt even more frightened. The other person's exposed chin and voice were so young. How could he be an old friend of the principal? Moreover, this dress and style obviously have little to do with kindness. Is he a devil in disguise?

"You're thinking too much, Bonnie..." Allen had to put down his hood, revealing his silver hair neatly combed back. He winked at Helga's female apprentice and turned his face He leaned a little closer so that the other party could see clearly, "Don't be afraid, it's me, Alan Harris. Will you still burn the food now?"
