Hogwarts Merchant

Neil didn't know what happened in the principal's office after he left that night, and to be honest, he didn't really care at first, but after receiving the official letter from the Ministry of Magic the next morning, he suddenly couldn't help but be curious again. Get up - because the wording of the letter was very harsh, and there seemed to be murderous intent permeating the words. It was not like it could be written by someone who was simply angry because he was woken up from his sleep by an owl at three or four o'clock in the morning.

"I don't understand." Michael handed the letter back to Neil, with every stroke penetrating the back of the paper and fully expressing the author's violent emotions, and shook his head in disbelief, "What outrageous things have you done before? Dumped a truckload of dung bombs into their office?"

"I wish I knew, Mr. Corner." Neil shrugged and replied nonchalantly. The helplessness in the wording could not hide his perfunctory attitude. "I assure you, this matter has nothing to do with me. , even if I really want to ask for any clues, it may only be that I underestimated or overestimated the mind of the British gentleman."

"What kind of magnanimity? Are the clothes you sold them too small?"

"No, mind! No... Damn it, you make my words sound like some kind of sexual innuendo! Why can't you British think of ways to enrich your rhetoric before getting hung up on meaningless things like past participles? ——Oh, sorry!" Neil, who looked disgusted, waved his arm vigorously as if to get rid of some thoughts in his mind, but his elbow accidentally hit the face of the person on the left.The thin boy wearing thick bottle-bottomed glasses didn't even have time to utter a scream. He rolled his eyes and slid down from the chair as weakly as a doll with its strings cut off.

Fortunately, other students were busy discussing the topic of the curriculum at the moment, and no one noticed that a criminal case was taking place in the last row of the classroom.

Neil stood up quietly and slowly, crept to the side of the fallen student and helped him back to the chair, letting him sit leaning against the back of the chair in a posture that looked a little awkward but not arousing suspicion. Then he picked up the glasses from the floor and put them on his nose again, making the image of this academic friend in the eyes of others closer to that of a thorny man with an uncultured posture, rather than a poor man who had just suffered a violent attack and was in a coma at the moment. .

Michael's eyes widened, obviously frightened by the injuries of his classmates and the overly decisive way of handling the perpetrator: "Why are you so skilled... Hey, is that guy still alive? Should we notify the professor to handle it? this?"

"There is no need at all! I have broken countless mandibles in my life. I can guarantee you based on experience that this unfortunate gentleman only fell into a brief coma due to a sudden impact on his head. He will never stay. It's the sequelae." Neil, who was fine-tuning his sitting posture, replied without looking back, "I will apologize when he wakes up, but now, there is no need to ruin the first magic in everyone's life over such a trivial matter. class experience.”

Michael was tempted to argue that one person's course experience had been completely ruined because of you, but Professor McGonagall walked into the classroom at just that moment.Ravenclaws have always known how to protect themselves wisely. Michael, who did not want to be the focus of the whole school because of being involved in an injury incident in the first period of class, had to shut up obediently and tried to pretend that nothing was wrong while using his peripheral vision with fear. Observe the movement next to you.

Minerva McGonagall stood up straight on the podium, looking back and forth at the students in the classroom with hawk-like sharp eyes.The freshmen who were still whispering to each other immediately fell silent as soon as they caught her gaze, and lowered their heads timidly like prisoners in court, which greatly satisfied her.The accident at the sorting ceremony made her worried that this year's freshmen were too undisciplined, but now it seems that at least most of them still understand the importance of discipline.

However, the initiator of the accident seemed not to feel the weight of responsibility for disrupting discipline at all, and sat generously in the last row, quietly waiting for him to speak with a soft, even kind smile on his face. , that kind of mature behavior that is seriously inconsistent with his age makes people feel uncomfortable.

Principal Dumbledore asked herself not to delve into matters related to this "exchange student". This actually went against her responsibilities as the deputy principal, but in her nearly 40 years of teaching career, Dumbledore has always been a respectable person. Leader and reliable friend, so Mag decided to look at this matter more carefully - not to interfere at all for the time being, and to make judgments after observation.

"Okay, classmates."

She clapped her hands and focused the students' attention.

"I believe you have heard it during yesterday's welcome ceremony, but I have to repeat it again: welcome to Hogwarts, where you will learn all kinds of knowledge about magic and how to make good use of it. method of knowledge.”

She paused, satisfied that no one looked smug about it.

"I am your Transfiguration teacher. You can call me Professor McGonagall. In the next five years - or seven years, depending on whether your OWLs test scores can meet the requirements for improving the class - I will share my knowledge with you. experience and insights in this subject.”

"..." Michael, who was sitting in the last row, had no intention of listening to what the professor was saying at the moment. The corners of his eyes were glancing past Neil at the unlucky guy who had passed out on the chair with increasing frequency - His body is gradually tilting to one side at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Transfiguration is a spell that turns one object into another. It can turn an inanimate object into a living thing, or it can turn an originally animated creature into something. This is a very complex art. ——”

Bang!

There was a sudden loud noise from the last row of the classroom, startling everyone. Mag, who subconsciously guessed the suspect, frowned and realized that he had wronged a good person.Neil Wan was still sitting upright in his seat, but his eyes were slightly wandering. The student next to him overturned to the ground along with the chair.

Seeing the confused look on the boy's face, rubbing his face as if he had just woken up, Mag suddenly felt a little annoyed after finally controlling the atmosphere in the classroom.

"Very well. I have been working at Hogwarts for more than 30 years, but this is the first time I have encountered a student who slept in the first class of the semester." She glanced at the student roster on the podium and looked at it. Lu said sullenly, "As this is your first offense, Mr. Foguer, I will forgive you this time, but a wise man will take this as a warning and take it upon himself - now go back to your seat."

Pollack Fogel got up from the ground in a daze, as if a clock was beating wildly in his mind. The right half of his face was burning with pain. The professor's scolding and the laughter of his classmates, everything seemed so far away from him.He only remembered that he was sitting there waiting for class, and then his eyes suddenly went dark, and he didn't know anything after that.

However, like a true Ravenclaw, in the absence of evidence to conclude that he did not suddenly fall asleep, he did not make any excuses that might make his situation more disadvantageous, but honestly He picked up the chair and sat back, determined to find out what happened one day.

He didn't notice that it was only a building away.Neil Wan and Michael Korner are winking at code words.

——I have long said that this will not work!

——Stop it, Mr. Corner!I said I would go and apologize to this gentleman, and let's not hang around like two Vladimir and Estragon anymore, okay?

——Who is that... Wait, why can I understand what you are thinking?

——Okay, don’t make a fuss, it’s just a simple telepathy.Now, listen up!
