Mario soon discovered that to live in Hogwarts, he needed to learn and master a lot—for example, how to remember the changes of the castle stairs.

On the morning of the first day of school, he, Mario Gotze, was the first person to get up in the dormitory. When he arrived at the auditorium where they had dinner yesterday, everyone had already finished their meal and started to leave one after another.Fortunately, he didn't have to be wronged why no one told him about the change of the stairs, because he met Marco on the way lost, this little wizard who was not from a Muggle family couldn't handle these stairs either.And soon they discovered that there was a third person in the same disease—Andre Schurrle.

"Andre? How could you get lost?" Marco looked at the white eyebrow in shock.

"Why can't I get lost?" Andre, who was frustrated early in the morning, obviously had no good temper.

"Uh, because...you seem to know Hogwarts very well? You were giving us science education yesterday." Mario said.

"That's just because I grew up in the UK, so I've heard a lot about the school." Andre pouted, "But no one told me about the sorting and the stairs! Maybe they all think that students like this We should have known it long ago, so there is no need to say more."

"Where are we now?" Marco looked around.

"Maybe it's on the third floor," Mario said, leaning over the handrail and looking down, counting the floors.The three of them were now standing on a platform with railings on three sides, the only side without railings was a closed wooden door.Andre pushed the door and found that it was locked.

"I remember that I just came down from the tower, and I met a moving staircase on the fifth floor, which brought me here directly." Mario said, "What about you?"

"I came from the basement floor. I could have found the auditorium directly by going upstairs...but I took a wrong path and the stairs went all the way up. When I come out again, this is here." Marko said angrily.

"Our common room is at the bottom of the lake, and there is a basement through the corridor at the bottom of the lake." Andre said, "There are too many exits from that basement, maybe I went wrong."

"Your common room is also underground?" Marco asked with interest.

Andre nodded. "Gryffindor's and Ravenclaw's common rooms are in the two towers of the castle, and Hufflepuff's and Slaterin's are underground." He said, "I think you all need to go to the library. The library borrows a copy of "Hogwarts: A School History" to gain a better understanding of the school."

"We don't love reading as much as you do." Marco spread his hands.

"That's because your brain is only the size of a Bibi Bean." Andre retorted, "And don't just represent Mario, Mario will borrow it to see it. Isn't it, Mario?"

"Of course!" Mario said with a smile, "But I would like to borrow your copy more, I know you are almost finished!"

"How do you know?" Andre asked in surprise.

"Intuition!" Mario winked at him.Marco muttered dissatisfiedly at the side: "Since this is the case, we don't need to read it at all. Just ask you if you don't understand..."

Andre pretended not to hear what Marco said.

"Then what do we do now?" Mario asked a very realistic question.

"Wait until the next time you come up the stairs?" Marco said immediately.

"What if the stairs don't lead to the first floor..." Mario was a little worried.

"Then we have to adapt to the situation." Andre said with a sigh, "There is only one way now."

Fortunately, a staircase came up not long after, and this staircase happened to stop on the first floor.The three couldn't believe their good luck as they sprinted down the stairs, but they should have thought it wouldn't last forever.

When they got to the auditorium, there weren't many students in it, and there wasn't much food left on the table—not even the bottom of the porridge.Mario couldn't help but let out a wail. All the food he liked was gone. Most of the food left untouched on the plate were some weird candies. No one knew what these candies tasted like and what would happen after eating them. .

Just as they were complaining that there was not much food left to eat, there was a commotion on the left side of the auditorium. A small group of people gathered at the Slytherin table and seemed to be discussing around someone.They leaned over and saw that the person surrounded was Julian.

Julian was sitting at the table, his eyes were red from crying, and the food on the plate had not moved.Sitting next to him was Kevin, and that cousin—a blue prefect badge was pinned to his chest, and Mario knew his surname was Hewedes from the surrounding students.

"It's not that serious." Kevin comforted Julian.

"What do you know!" Julian stared at him tearfully, "I've been looking forward to being in the same house with Benny! I've been looking forward to this day since Benny entered Ravenclaw five years ago ! As a result..." He thought of the sad place, and cried again.

"Listen to me, Julian. Even if you're not in Ravenclaw, you can come to me every day." Penny patted him on the back.

"But...but, that's different..." Julian sobbed, "you've been... tell me... tell me about Ravenclaw... I always thought... I always thought I belonged to Ravenclaw Nah... turns out now... we... we can't even be in a common room... and Slytherins..."

The more he thought about it, the more wronged he became, and the more he cried.

While Mario and Marco were still at a loss, Andre had already squeezed through the crowd.He patted Julian on the shoulder, pulled out a pentagonal card from his pocket, and handed it over.

"This is..." Julian took it over with a dazed look, and immediately widened his eyes, "Merlin? He... he's actually a Slytherin?"

Andre nodded. "So Slytherins are good too, right?"

"That's right, Julian!" Kevin said hurriedly, "And now the colleges are not as strict as in the past, you can still go to see him at Benny's."

"Julian," Penny said softly, stroking his head, "I can't be by your side forever."

Julian looked up at Penny blankly, and after a few seconds he sniffed and nodded emphatically to his cousin. "I see, Penny."

"Good boy." Benny smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Hurry up and get ready for class, or you'll be late if you don't."

The crowd of onlookers dispersed in twos and threes, and Julian accompanied Kevin to find the classroom for the first class.Penny stayed and talked to Andre for a while.

"Thank you for your help just now." Penny held out a hand to Andre, "Benedict Hewedes."

"Andre Schurrle." Andre also reached out and shook his hand.

"You are Schurrler?" Benny looked a little surprised, "I heard that the young master of the Schurrler family will enroll this year, but it's a bit...surprised me to be assigned to Slytherin."

"There's nothing wrong with Slytherin." Andre said with a shrug. "It's not that time anymore."

"It's true, it makes you laugh." Penny said, "Julian grew up around me, and I spoiled him a little bit. Can I trouble you to take care of him more?"

"No problem." Andre replied simply.

"Thank you, please allow me to pay respects to the Xuerle family before I leave." Benny said and bowed to Xuerle, then nodded to him, turned and left the auditorium.

"How can he be respectful to you!" Marco said in surprise when Andre returned to them.

"Because the Scherle family is relatively old." Andre replied simply. "Let's not talk about that, do you want to bring a chocolate frog to class?" He took out two boxes of chocolates from his pocket and handed them over, "so as not to faint from hunger during class."

Mario took the pentagonal box, opened it, and found a huge frog-shaped chocolate inside.

"This chocolate frog is really literal." Mario said with a smile.

"Since when did you bring this?" Marco asked as he unpacked the box.

"I won a bet before going to bed yesterday, and I brought it out in the morning. Just now, I took out Merlin from the first box and just used it." Andre opened the box, and the chocolate frog inside jumped out and jumped to the ground. slip away.

"It's a pity to meet such a clever one." Andre said, "It was fine when it was dismantled just now."

"Mario, who's on your card?" Marco asked.

It was only then that Mario discovered that there was a card attached to each box of chocolate frogs. He found the pentagonal card under the frog, and found that it was a very old wizard with a long crooked nose. , also wearing a pair of half-moon glasses, his long hair and beard are silvery white.On the bottom of the card was written a name: Albus Dumbledore.

"It's Dumbledore," said Mario.

"Well, I already have a lot of Dumbledores." Marco said, "You can also start collecting cards. It's worth a lot of money to collect a set!"

Mario turned the card over and read the words carefully. "He's the former Headmaster of Hogwarts!" he exclaimed in surprise.

"It was the predecessor." Andre corrected him, "Before Professor McGonagall, there was a headmaster at Hogwarts. He was also a great wizard."

"Oh, well...it looks like I really need to borrow your copy of Hogwarts: A History," Mario said.He turned the card face-up again and was surprised to find that Dumbledore was gone.

"He...he's gone!"

"I forgot to tell you, the pictures in the wizarding world are all moving." Marco said apologetically, "Don't worry, he will be back in a while."

Andre looked around and found that there were only three of them left in the auditorium. "What classes do you have in the morning?"

They quickly took out the timetable and looked at it.

"Charms," ​​said Mario.

"Mine are Charms too," Marko said.

"I'm in Potions class, it seems that I have to go to the basement quickly." Andre ran away immediately after speaking.

"Shall we meet in the auditorium at noon?" Mario yelled at his running back, not sure if Andre heard it.

Now there are only two of them left in the auditorium.

"Uh, well...then... how to get to the classroom of the Charms class?" Marco asked awkwardly from the side.

Mario looked at him in disbelief: "I thought you knew!"

Although they were late for the first class, Professor Lampard didn't make it difficult for them. He just reminded them that they must listen carefully to the lesson of the orientation spell, and then asked them to find a seat at the back of the classroom.Fortunately, the first spell class didn't talk about any substantive content, just a brief introduction to magic and spells.When asked what spells everyone wanted to learn, Mario immediately expressed his special interest in silent spells. He thought it was cool to be able to cast magic without shouting out spells. Marco still remembered his Levitation spell.

Professor Lampard told them that the silent spell is a difficult kind of magic, and they don't have the opportunity to learn it until the senior grades, and many wizards may never learn the silent spell in their lifetime.But Professor Lampard also gave good news-in a few weeks, they will be able to start learning the levitation spell.Perhaps because of this news, Marco seemed very happy throughout the morning, and even when he got a strange note, he thanked the senior student who brought it with a smile, and his words were heard throughout the corridor. sound.

In fact, the note looked very ordinary, but the strange thing was that when Marco received that note, Mario also received an identical one from someone else.

There is only one line on the note: Please come to the left-hand classroom on the sixth floor at [-]:[-] pm.

The note was not signed, and the person who handed it to them disappeared without paying attention.They were at a loss, and this confusion reached its peak when Andre joined them.

Mario and Marco were sitting at the Hufflepuff table getting ready for lunch when Andre found them.Since Hufflepuff students have always been known for their tolerance and friendliness, they unanimously guessed that perhaps students from other houses would not be rejected if they sat here to eat, and when they saw the Bender twins sitting here together When I opened the table, I was more sure of my guess.

"Did you get a note?" Andre asked straight to the point.

Mario and Marco nodded in unison, and then showed him their own cards. "Please come to the classroom on the left-hand side of the sixth floor at seven o'clock in the evening." Andre looked at the two identical notes one by one, and read them out, "Sure enough, they are the same as mine."

"Who is looking for the three of us?" Marco frowned and asked, "It's not because of being late, Professor Lampard wants to punish us..."

"I'm sure not," Andre said.

"Why?" Marco asked.

"Because I'm not late." Andre said bluntly.

Marco was at a loss for words immediately, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he took a spoonful of the soup.

"I said, why don't we just go and have a look?" Mario suggested, "Since they have tried everything to inform us, and still use such a troublesome way, it seems a pity not to go and have a look."

"I don't think it's a good offer," Andre said. "We don't even know who the other party is."

"I think what Mario said makes sense, and it's at school, so there's no danger." Marco said nonchalantly.

Mario nodded in agreement, his eyes sparkling. "Honestly, I'm a little curious about the man who sent us the letter."

"Are you sure?" Andre stared at them with wide eyes.

The two nodded in unison again.

"Okay, okay...I see." Andre sighed and said, "Then let's meet in the foyer at 06:30 and go there together?"

"No problem!" The two replied in unison.

Three minutes before seven o'clock, the three excited and nervous little wizards finally reached the corridor on the sixth floor.They followed the note to turn left, and immediately found what they were looking for—a door ajar on the left, revealing light from within.They cautiously groped to the door, and after deliberating for a long time, they knocked lightly.

The door was opened immediately.

Philip Lamm stood at the door.

"Philip?" Mario called out in surprise, "Why are you here? Those notes are from you..."

"Mario, come in!" Before Mario could finish speaking, Philip pulled them into the door enthusiastically, "And Marco and Andre!"

"This is Philip Ram, our prefect." Mario introduced to Marco and Andre.

"You know me?" Marco asked in surprise.

"Is it the note you passed to us?" Andre couldn't help asking.

"I didn't send the note," laughed Philip, "and, yes, of course I know you."

"Then who gave us the note?" Mario was still curious.

"Okay, okay, gentlemen. Curiosity is a good thing, but it's best to find the answer yourself." A man's voice came, and Mario looked back, and found that it was a familiar blond wizard, He was wearing a dark purple robe with dots of starlight shining on it.The wizard smiled and winked at them, and Mario immediately remembered who he was.

"It's you!" Mario said excitedly, "You were the one who helped us transport the books in Diagon Alley that day!"

Marko obviously recognized him too. "I didn't thank you well that day, thanks to your help we can get that list done!"

"You're welcome, gentlemen," said the wizard gently.

"Mr. Klinsmann, I didn't expect to meet you here." Andre said respectfully, for some reason he seemed a little nervous.

"Ah, you are the kid from the Schurle family." He nodded to Andre with a smile.

"Don't be nervous, gentlemen. This is the Deutsches Club." Klinsmann patted them on the shoulder, "Let Philip go about his business, he still has a lot of things to do. You can relax a little, stroll around, Enjoy your time here."

Then he nodded to them again and left with Philip.

"Klinsmann? Is that the gentleman's name?"

"It's his last name. Mr. Jurgen Klinsmann is another great alchemist after Nicole Flamel. He is famous for discovering the method of refining platinum with magic." Andre explained , still with full respect in his tone.

"He is 'Rose'?" Marco could hardly believe it.

Andre nodded.

"You know him too?" Mario felt that he was too ignorant again.

"I can't say I know him..." Marko said, "almost every wizard child born in Germany knows him. We all read a fairy tale book when we were young. It told the story of an alchemist who found platinum. The alchemist The magician is called 'Rose'."

"Hey, Mario!" someone shouted from the side.

They turned around and saw that it was Julian, and Kevin was there too.Julian seemed to have come out of the shadow of the sorting house, but the tip of his nose was still a little red, and he could see that he had cried a lot in the morning.

"Andre, Marco! You are here too!" Julian said happily, "I was terrified when I received the note, thinking that I had violated the school rules unknowingly and would have to stay in school for labor! Fortunately, Kevin told Me, we're actually going to come to this club."

"The Deutsches Club?"

"Yes, that's the name! Let me tell you, the wizards in this room are all German. It's not easy to see so many German wizards in England at the same time, isn't it Kevin?"

Kevin nodded immediately.

"Actually, I don't know many people here..." Julian stuck out his tongue, "By the way, I'll take you to meet my cousin!" After speaking, he dragged them to the long table in the center of the room, There were people standing and talking in twos and threes over there.The long table is covered with a clean and tidy white tablecloth, and there are various delicate snacks and snacks on the plate above, as well as an unlimited supply of various types of German sausages - Mario saw with his own eyes the freshly taken A plate was immediately filled with long, oily red sausages.

"Pennie, hey Penny!" Julian called to his cousin.

Beni and a student with black curly hair on the opposite side stopped talking and looked this way.

"This is my cousin, the prefect of Ravenclaw!" Julian proudly introduced to them.

"Benedict Hewedes," Penny held out his hand in a friendly way, "we met in the auditorium this morning."

"Mario Gotze."

"Marco Royce."

They held out their hands and shook Penny's too.

"I'll ask you to take care of Julian from now on," Penny said, pretending not to hear Julian's soft protests. ("It's not that I can't take care of myself!" He pouted dissatisfiedly.)

"This is Mats, Mats Hummels." Benny introduced.

"Hello, prefect!" Marco greeted obediently.

"Mats is a Hufflepuff prefect." Penny said with a smile, and Mats greeted them friendly.I don't know why, when Mario saw Matz, he suddenly wanted to eat kebabs, but he held back and didn't say it.

"Kevin? It's great that you're here!" The Bender twins came over, and the one in the Gryffindor school robe said to Kevin, "Thomas said he was fined to stay in school for labor today, so he really can't come here. I want you to tell Professor Love."

"The professor won't help him find a solution, and it's not the first time he's been punished for this."

"Would you like to try again? We both failed last time..." said the other twin, in his yellow and black Hufflepuff school robes.

"Okay, I'll try it." Kevin said, "By the way, this is Mario Gotze, Marco Reus and Andre Schurrle, all freshmen this year."

"Hello! I'm Russ Bender, and this is my younger brother Sven." The introduction, wearing a Gryffindor school robe, said, "Do you want to take you around?"

They are looking forward to it!

"This is Manu, the keeper of our Gryffindor Quidditch team." Russ introduced them to the boy Mario met at the start-of-term feast.

"Manuel Neuer, everyone is used to calling me Manu." The boy reached out and shook hands with them, "Have you signed up for the Quidditch selection?"

"First-years can't audition, Manu. They haven't started flying lessons yet!" Philip broke in suddenly.

"I want to sign up, Prefect!" Lars said hastily.

"Lars can try it," Philip said. "Come to the lounge tomorrow night and fill out the form."

"no problem!"

"I'm going to ask Matz when I go back," Sven said, "Maybe we can all be selected!"

"I don't show mercy when it comes to games," Russ said with a laugh.

"I do not know either!"

The twins continued to walk around the house with them. When they passed the fireplace, Mario was attracted by a person by the fireplace.It was a cool wizard. He had black mid-hair, black earrings, and a pair of pants that looked like dragon skin. His eyes were surprisingly big.

"Sammy, I still don't think that's a good idea. Are you sure there is an increase in demand for flying carpets in Italy? Who else uses flying carpets to go out now except the Middle East..."

"I'm pretty sure about the findings, Mesut. Flying carpets are becoming a new trend in Italy, and people use them not for transportation, but as a status symbol, after all making a good flying carpet It takes more work than you can imagine, even with magic."

"Okay... Now that you feel confident, I'll talk to Oliver and let him find a way to talk to Hodgson about it."

Mario found he could barely understand the conversation, although he understood the words.

"That's Mr. Ozil and Mr. Khedira." Sven whispered, "Mr. Ozil studies Sphinx in the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures, and Mr. Khedira often travels between Italy and the UK to do research on Flying carpet investigation."

"Some adult wizards often come to the club. Most of them work in the Ministry of Magic. Apart from the two just now, there are also Mr. Schweinsteiger and Mr. Podolski, but this Mr. Podolski hasn't come here often for two years, he was transferred to the Quidditch headquarters in Turkey..." Lars glanced at the door and said pleasantly, "It's Mr. Podolski! He unexpectedly Come on, so lucky!"

Mario also looked towards the door with them.Two wizards came in, one of them had light brown hair and a high nose bridge, and his face was as cold as a sculpture; the other looked much softer, with short brown hair and a pair of beautiful blue eyes, which made people immediately Have a good impression of him.

Professor Loew stepped forward to greet them in person. "Bastian, Lucas, long time no see!"

They hugged warmly.

"Luki said that Turkey must come to discuss with you about some situations." The wizard with a high nose bridge said.

"But it's not in a hurry right now." The blue-eyed wizard added with a smile.

"That's right, you definitely don't want to miss this." Professor Loew took them to the long dining table, "Jurgen brought back wine from Bordeaux."

"The one with the box is Mr. Podolski," Sven said. "The other is Mr. Schweinsteiger, who works in the Reversal of Contingencies Team."

Mario stretched his neck for a look, and found that the blue-eyed wizard was carrying a small and exquisite leather case. Interestingly, the case was still vibrating, as if something wanted to come out of it.

"Lars, did you see Manu?" A dark-skinned boy came over.

"I just saw him talking with Philip over there," Russ said, "You can ask the prefect."

"What new dueling spell do you want to study?" Sven asked with interest.

"Temporarily secret." The boy said mysteriously.

"You are already number one in the dueling club," Sven wailed, "can't you help us more?"

"You are only in the third grade, you should learn the basic spells first!" The boy was unmoved.

"This is Jerome Boateng, the perennial number one in the school's dueling club, you must always be careful about the spells he casts!" Lars introduced, "Jerome, these are Mario, Mario Coe and Andre, freshmen this year."

"If you have any questions about duels or spells in the future, please come and ask me." Jerome said with a smile. "I think I'd better ask Philip. If Manu can't be found, he will slip away again. Today, Thomas was sent to school to work." After he finished speaking, he nodded to them, and then ran to Philip.

The twins took them to meet several students from Germany, and finally ended their round of visits.Although they had already had their supper, they rushed at once to the long table and tasted everything.Mario especially liked one of the donut plates, he swore he had never had such a delicious dessert before.Marco looked at the empty donut plate on the dining table, and he hesitated to give him the one on his own plate.Andre insisted on eating his own donut under Mario's longing eyes on the grounds that eating too much sweets was bad for his teeth.

Mario decides not to speak to Andre for 10 minutes.

Fortunately, this decision is not difficult to implement.

Seeing that everyone was almost there, Professor Loew tapped the wine glass in his hand to attract everyone's attention.

"Welcome, everyone is welcome back to the Deutsches Club for the annual welcome meeting. Today, I am very honored to introduce our new companions to you!" He came to Mario and the others, "Mario Gotze, Mario Co Reuss, André Schurrle and Julian Draxler!"

Everyone applauded.

"Thanks to the headmaster for his kindness in allowing me personally to start such a small club for German students at the school, so that our compatriots can get together. Thanks to Jürgen from afar, old friend! I believe many of you Miss him very much - and Lucas, who is inseparable from the development of the Turkish Quidditch game... Bastian, Mesut and Sami, everyone is no stranger to them. Thank you for your long time Help for the club and the students!" He raised his glass to those mentioned.

"There are still a few who couldn't come for some reason, and I entrusted me to welcome the freshmen." Professor Loew winked at the four first-year freshmen, "But I believe you will see them soon, because the It's not easy to ignore them."

"Now, let's toast together!"

Everyone present picked up their glasses, and there were drinks in them immediately—all the minors’ glasses were poured with fruit juice—then everyone said loudly——

"cheers!"
