The Years Welding at Hogwarts

Hogsmeade is very lively during Christmas.

The village covered with heavy snow is a scene wrapped in red, and all the trees planted on both sides of the streets are decorated with various Christmas decorations.

There is no electricity from the outside world. The colorful light strips wrapped around the street lamps rely on unknown energy sources to emit colorful light.

Honeydukes Candy Shop.

On important holidays like Christmas, which represent joy, Honeydukes, as a well-known candy store in the British wizarding world, is always overcrowded.

The roaring fireplace in the store is constantly filled with famous customers from far and wide.

As the flames in the fireplace once again turned into a dark green color similar to Avada Kedavra, two young figures, a man and a woman, stepped out of the fireplace.

“Ahem.”

The first time I used the Floo Network, I was not very familiar with it. Gwen accidentally choked on the soot that had accumulated in the fireplace for who knows how many years.

Looking at the embarrassed look of the little spider breathing out black smoke, Noah laughed. Very happy

“Ha ha……”

He reacted quickly and took a big step away from Gwen, and with a somewhat prejudicial step, he directly dodged the arm sweeping from the side.

I predicted your move!

But what he didn’t anticipate was the glob of white, sticky, suspicious liquid that shot out as Gwen waved her arm.

This wave is called I predicted your prediction!

The protein that hit the air exploded into a cobweb-like shape in less than a tenth of a second, directly covering Noah’s mouth and making him unable to laugh.

“Hahaha, are you going to continue laughing?”

Raising his hand to melt the spider silk with flames, Noah rolled his eyes at Gwen. He just won a round and was as complacent as a childish ghost. He is already several years old!

“Want some candy? This is the most famous candy shop in the wizarding world in Britain.”

“Don’t treat me like a three-year-old child,” the arrogant blonde Spider-woman put her hands on her hips,”I heard from Shirley that you have a candy that is very similar to cockroaches?”

“You mean a pile of cockroaches?”

The corner of Noah’s mouth twitched slightly, why do these people have such weird tastes?

Eat, eat, eat, eat it to death.

After Gwen and Noah left the candy store noisily with a bag of candies, the two of them People followed the address given by Professor McGonagall and walked towards a single-family villa located in the center of the village.

Although Hogsmeade is the largest wizarding village in the British wizarding world, considering the pitiful situation in the wizarding world, The population… this so-called largest, the total population living in it may not be as many as the students of a middle school in Noah’s first life.

So the two of them only walked for a few minutes and saw the village. The beautiful little brick house in the center.

Standing in front of Professor McGonagall’s house, Gwen glanced sideways at the little kid next to her.

“You just come to visit with a bag of candy?”

Noah withdrew his hand from knocking on the door, then opened his palm and took out a bottle of beautifully packaged cherry wine from the magic circle.

He raised his head slightly and turned to Gwen. One glance,”Do you think I am as rude as you, going to someone else’s house in the middle of the night to pick the lock on someone else’s door, and let the owner of the house catch you?””

When she heard that this inherently evil Shaflin brat dared to mention her own unbearable dark history, Gwen’s face suddenly darkened.

“What’s the point of using anesthetics? You have the ability to have an upright duel with me!”

“you were defeated by me”

“Believe it or not, I can kill you with one fist now!”

“But you were defeated by me”

“If it’s a head-on confrontation! Even if you go with that agent with the strange metal arm, the two of you combined are no match for me!”

“But you haven’t been defeated by me yet, and I didn’t even use any strength.”

“Didn’t your policeman father teach you that girls should not just eat water and food given to you by strangers outside?”

“The majestic Spider-Woman, who is also a superhero, doesn’t even have the slightest bit of vigilance, and has completely embarrassed your police dad.”

Ahhhhh!

Don’t stop me, I’m going to smash this hateful kid to death with one fist right now!

Just as Gwen was looking fiercely at Noah’s neck with her death gaze, thinking. When they were about to break this bastard’s neck in some way, the door in front of them suddenly opened with a creak.

A tall witch wearing emerald green wizard robes appeared behind the door.

“Professor McGonagall, good afternoon.”

Perhaps because of the Christmas holiday, Professor McGonagall, who does not need to show the majesty of a professor, does not always have a straight face like she usually does in Hogwarts.

She has a kind smile on her face,” Noah? Come inside”

“This is Gwen Stacy”

“She is a friend of mine,” Noah said with a just right smile on his face,”I took the initiative and brought her here with me, do you mind?”

“Of course not,” Professor McGonagall opened the door and greeted with a smile,”Come in, kid, it’s cold outside.”

It has to be said that everyone around Noah is a master of face-changing.

Even Gwen, who was gnashing her teeth just now and planning to kill Noah, the little brat, the moment the door opened, she quickly Adjusted my expression

“Hello, Professor McGonagall, I’ve been having a lot of trouble these days.”

It is said that every wizard’s residence is unique, and Professor McGonagall’s small independent house is no exception.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary brick house, and its area is not very large. It only has four square meters. Fifty square meters.

But only when you step inside, you will find that the space here is much wider than it looks on the outside.

This is thanks to the invention of the Seamless Stretch Charm.

Just the living room where a few people are sitting, it The space inside far exceeds the surface area of the house.

The living room is full of all kinds of weird cat climbing frames.

There are footholds that are firmly fixed on the walls with sticky spells. , extending from the wall to the ceiling, forming a complete and complex cat parkour route. The surfaces of all furniture are covered with different cat scratching posts made of various materials.

For example, sofas and tables This type of furniture has legs wrapped in thick hemp rope, making it suitable for cats to sharpen their claws or teeth.

Complementing this cat paradise, the house is full of various styles and varieties. cats.

On the floor, on the chair, under the table, in the cat’s bed, on the ceiling…..

Almost every space that could accommodate a small kitten was filled with cats.

This is definitely a paradise for the followers of the Holy Fire Miao Miao Cult.

When Noah and Gwen stepped into the house, all the cats turned their heads.

The part of the cat that wasn’t interested in the stupid Twolegs just glanced at the two of them casually, and then quickly looked away.

Other cats that were more lively and full of curiosity about humans came forward with wide eyes and sniffed at the two strangers.

Then the meowing started.

Of course, the meows here are not just made by cats.

“Wow, so many cats!”

Although Gwen was not a serious cat lover who couldn’t live without cats, she still squatted down with happiness on her face when she saw this scene, and started sucking the cat like a gentleman.

Nuo was surrounded by cats. Ya was a little at a loss.

The scene in front of him reminded him involuntarily of the old man in the second movie The Secret Life of Pets, who had a house full of cats, dragged a bunch of them when he went out at night, and wore big black sunglasses while driving. Mrs.

Uh……

It’s really hard to imagine that look.

You can imagine that Professor McGonagall is wearing a pair of fashionable big black sunglasses like a will-o’-the-wisp old man, driving an old-fashioned car that matches her age, and after going out, she kicks the accelerator to the bottom and is on the road. Exploding the street, sitting in the car with your head swaying to the rhythm of the music?

The serious Professor McGonagall might not do such a thing.

But if it were Maggie Smith, that would be impossible.

By the way…

Noah suddenly thought of a very serious academic issue.

Something about transfiguration.

Professor McGonagall’s Animagus form is a beautiful silver tabby cat.

Normally, when Professor McGonagall is at home alone, wouldn’t she be in her Animagus form coexisting with these cats? what is this?

The Cat Emperor and her three thousand harem beauties?

Unexpectedly, Professor McGonagall, who has always been serious, actually has such a side.

When I thought of Professor McGonagall squatting in the form of a tabby cat at the highest point of the house, a dense group of cats below looked up at her with admiration like pilgrims.

The slight smile on Noah’s face turned into a funny smile that was about to stop.

There suddenly seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere in the air.

Noah, who sensed the murderous intention, raised his head and met Professor McGonagall’s gaze.

He tried hard to go through all the sad things in his life in his mind, and then he suppressed the urge to laugh out loud.

Perhaps because someone had seen through his usually”imperially erosive” private life, the smile on Professor McGonagall’s face showed a bit of embarrassment, and there was also a trace of embarrassment in it.

She shouldn’t have invited this child to her home

……

Perhaps because of the cats and dogs, the atmosphere in the living room was not as stiff as when students visit their teachers.

Gwen was sitting on the sofa, holding a British shorthair cat in her left hand and a Norwegian forest cat in her right hand. There were also several big fat cats hanging on her legs and shoulders that treated her as human cushions.

Professor McGonagall looked at Gwen’s well-behaved appearance, and then at Noah who was sitting next to Gwen. The smile on his face suddenly took on an inexplicable meaning.

It’s like a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law.

These two little guys seemed to be surprisingly well-matched when they sat next to each other.

Even though Gwen is seven or eight years older than Noah, Noah’s appearance is much more mature than the little wizards of his age.

Therefore, judging from appearance alone, he is only a little shorter than Gwen.

The two of them stood together, handsome and talented, as if they were a match made in heaven.

It’s just that Professor McGonagall was completely mistaken.

Noah took Gwen to visit Professor McGonagall because he wanted to ask her to teach Gwen magic, instead of taking his girlfriend home to show his parents what kind of girlfriend he had found.

……

“A special… Animagus?”

When Noah briefly mentioned to Professor McGonagall his intention to bring Gwen with him for a visit, Professor McGonagall looked at Gwen in front of him and didn’t quite understand what Noah said. The

Animagus didn’t Is it just changing from a human to an animal?

Special? How special can it be?

But after Gwen clung to the ceiling like a big humanoid spider, Professor McGonagall looked at Spider-Woman in front of him in confusion.

“When Gwen was a child, she was bitten by a somewhat special magical animal, a spider, and then she had some of the spider’s abilities.……”

Noah’s statement is actually correct. After all, Spider-Man mutated due to spider bites.

It’s just that the final conclusion drawn is a bit nonsense.

After all, it was not a native magical animal from the magical world, but an artificially cultivated mutant spider.

Professor McGonagall is very interested in existences like Gwen.

“Boy, can you transform into a spider?”

Afraid that Gwen wouldn’t understand what she meant, Professor McGonagall added,”I mean, a real spider.”

“like this.”

In Gwen’s incredible eyes, Professor McGonagall’s figure collapsed rapidly, and all the bones and flesh were twisted and deformed.

In just a blink of an eye, Professor McGonagall transformed into a beautiful-colored animal. A silver tabby cat with similar lines to her square glasses around her eyes.

Then, in front of the two of them, she transformed back into an older cat girl.

Keeping her stunned expression, it took Gwen a while to react.”This is so cool!”

After saying this, she realized that whether this transformation magic was cool or not was not the point of the problem.

She shook her head violently,”I can’t transform like you. Professor McGonagall took out her wand and looked at Gwen hanging upside down on the ceiling with burning eyes,”Do you mind if I check your body?””

Falling back to the ground deftly, Gwen readily agreed,”As you wish, Professor.”

Professor McGonagall’s inspection was of course of no avail. This was just an excuse made up by Noah so that Gwen could settle in the magical world.

“This is indeed a very special ability……”

After some inspections yielded no results, Professor McGonagall withdrew her wand and said,”Perhaps Newt Scamander can figure out the cause of this mutation.”……”

“《Author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? Newt Scamander?”

Noah naturally knows who the old man Scamander is,””This is indeed a question that a magical zoologist will be interested in.” But

Professor McGonagall waved her hand,”But that’s not what we should be concerned about, is it?” She shifted her gaze back to Gwen,”You have not received any education from any magic school since you were a child, is that right?””

Gwen nodded and said nothing more.

Under Noah’s deliberate misleading, Professor McGonagall regarded Gwen as a lucky Muggle who had unintentionally acquired some magical abilities.

Of course, it is also possible that he was a squib. , it’s just because of the spider that the magic ability is activated.

Uh, by the way, you have to add the prefix of”orphan”.

In short, it doesn’t matter.

When I heard Noah talk about Gwen’s pitiful life experience of”having no father and no mother”, The older cat lady’s compassion couldn’t stop overflowing.

She looked at Gwen with loving eyes,”You can stay here with me during this time, and I will teach you how to master the power of magic.””

“When Hogwarts officially opens next year, I will arrange for you to officially enter the school.”

Having said this, Professor McGonagall wanted to reach out and rub Gwen’s soft blond hair, but when she thought that the other person was not an eleven or twelve-year-old child like Noah, she held back.

After she turned around to give the two While people were preparing tea, Gwen stared at Noah fiercely.

“You are the orphan! I have parents, okay!”

Although they are not in this world… well, is there anything wrong with this statement?

Facing Gwen’s death gaze, Noah shrugged his shoulders indifferently,”I am indeed an orphan. I have been reincarnated for three whole lives. Every life is an orphan.”

Ah… his sudden sincerity made Gwen confused.”I……”

After stammering for a while, Gwen said weakly,”Sorry, I didn’t mean that.”

“It’s okay, I’m used to it.”

Noah’s calm look made Gwen feel even more guilty.
