A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 7 Magic Uses

Early the next morning, under the action of his biological clock, Owen got up from bed on time.

The lake outside the window was always dark and deep, with a sparkling dark green color, which made him unable to see the sky clearly, and always had the illusion that it was still dark.

The three roommates were still sleeping soundly. Owen washed up unhurriedly, changed into his Hogwarts robes, stood in front of the mirror and carefully combed his hair, making sure that there were no frizzy hairs .

By the time he got back to his four-poster bed, Theodore Knott had woken up and lip-synced "Good morning" after seeing Owen.He was a thin boy with a sickly look, heightened by his short chestnut hair.

Owen responded with a smile, and then opened a black suitcase next to his bed.This is a suitcase that has been cast with the No Trace Stretching Charm, and the Shafik family's crest is engraved on the outer shell of the box.It was a coat of arms with a black and white base color, and on it was a tall tower also in black and white, surrounded by golden and silver roses on the outside.

Owen finally found his schoolbag and textbooks from the suitcase. Before he had time to practice the Flying Curse, God knows how hard it is to find what he wants among so many messy things.

There are a lot of miscellaneous things stuffed in the box. In Owen’s opinion, they are useless. They are definitely put in by Mr. Shafiq when he has nothing to do. Owen thinks that his mother, who has always been neat and tidy, can’t do this kind of thing. .

He raised his hand and stroked the still sleeping Rabbit Muse to make sure that the old man was still alive. Owen didn't disturb her sleep, but put some rabbit food beside her.

After he had packed his things, Malfoy and Harry finally woke up.The two sat up almost at the same time, but there was a tacit understanding.Malfoy's hair was frizzed from sleep, his pale blond hair was like a messy bird's nest, not to mention Harry's unruly hair was now frizzing wildly.The two looked at each other in confusion, the scene was a little funny.

"Good morning, I woke up quite early." Sitting at the table, Owen poured himself a glass of milk and drank it slowly, with an elegant posture as if he was tasting a cup of high-end black tea - the milk he just dug out from the suitcase Yes, God knows what kind of mentality his dad had in order to shove it in.

Harry rubbed his eyes, touched the round glasses and put them on, and glanced at his roommates: "Delicate" Owen seemed to be written all over his body and every strand of hair, he said "my dad" and felt good about himself. Malfoy, and Nott, who looked sickly and world-weary...

Why does he feel that he is the only normal person in this dormitory?

……

Harry Potter has been the center of attention since he left the common room.Curious students lined up outside classrooms and jostled up and down the corridors just to catch a glimpse of him.

Draco Malfoy walked beside Harry, raising his head with a haughty expression on his face, as if he was the one being paid attention to, and walked out with steps that he didn't recognize, exuding a kind of Hogwarts is my family's momentum.

Crabbe and Goyle, two big, simple-minded men, opened the way in front of the crowd, like two vicious bodyguards, forcibly relying on their proud size and brute force to wade a bloody path through the crowded crowd.

A group of four swaggered through the market, showing their bully aura without a doubt.Irving fled early, shamelessly, and left with Blaise Zabini, and Theodore Knott also slipped away...

Harry was dejected, but he wanted to slip away, and the posture of the three of Malfoy made him feel ashamed.However, Malfoy tugged on his sleeve with a complacent expression, as if he was afraid that he would get lost.

Harry wanted to die, feeling that he had lost the right to choose a mate at Hogwarts...

On the other side, Owen and Blaise walked up the rickety stairs together, and met Daphne and Pansy who got lost on the way.Fortunately, they go out early, so they don't have to worry about being late for class because they get lost.

Blaise didn't leave a glance at the two girls, and complained to Owen: "Can you imagine? Crabbe and Goyle are two big guys who share the same dormitory with me! They go there, in the dormitory There was no place for me to stand, and the sound of snoring was still loud, and I woke up in the middle of the night thinking that the castle had collapsed..."

Owen and the two girls laughed while listening.

In fact, there are not as few first-year freshmen as shown in the original novel. There are several freshman dormitories in Slytherin alone, and they are assigned to the same dormitory as Crabbe and Goyle... Well, it is also a very high probability. .

Pansy finished laughing, and then said to Daphne: "Oh, look, we got lost again. You should have listened to me and walked with Draco and Potter."

"I don't want to be surrounded by people like a monkey. Harry Potter is enough to attract people's attention, and Draco is so ostentatious." Daphne said with a frown, pinching the golden hair beside her cheek.

"But I think that's good," Pansy said, raising her face as it should be. "People like them should be the focus... I mean, they are such good people." Blush.

"If I say you are a nympho, you have to be reasonable. Where did you see that they are excellent? This is the first time you and Potter have met..." Daphne covered her face helplessly, and suddenly said "Oops", suddenly Stepped into a step that disappeared out of thin air.

Owen quickly supported her arm without letting Daphne fall down in embarrassment. He has been practicing magic all the year round and his reaction speed is extremely fast.

At this time, a few chalk heads whizzed over, and Peeves flew over from the corridor beside him, holding a box of chalks and squealing with a smile: "Slytherin little devil, how can Peeves treat you?" Love!"

"Hiss!" Blaise was hit on the head, and he yelled with chalk on his face, "Peeves, wait for me!"

Owen twitched the corners of his mouth, raised his hand and quickly wiped it in front of him, and took the chalk stub flying towards him in his hand.He coughed lightly, gestured to Peeves for a piece of chalk in his hand, and said loudly: "Peves, you have no idea how precious this thing is!"

"What? Are you playing with the great Peeves?" Peeves paused.

"Look at it!" Owen smiled mischievously, held the chalk stub in his palm, and then slowly spread his five fingers, and the chalk stub disappeared.

"Huh?" Peeves tilted his head in confusion, watching Owen clenched his right hand again.When he opened it again, the chalk heads in his palm turned into five.

"Huh? Are you playing tricks on me?" Peeves said angrily, as if he was about to smash the chalk box in his hand.

"How come, I'm just a freshman, you see I haven't even taken out my wand." Owen raised his empty left hand and shook it, "Actually, the chalk at Hogwarts has been cast with the most top-notch transfiguration technique, As long as you master the method, you can use it to get everything! They are the most precious things in this school!"

"Look if you don't believe me." Owen shook the chalk tip in his right hand, closed and opened his fingers, and the chalk tip in his palm disappeared, replaced by a gleaming golden Galleon.Then he repeated the same trick, and the gold coins in his hand turned into a string of strenuous fireworks.

Peeves was stunned. It looked at the things in Owen's hands, and then at the chalk box in his hands, with question marks on his forehead.

"This is my exclusive secret, but..." Owen drawled his tone while looking at Malfoy, "If you can pass my test, I can tell you how to activate the magic power of the chalk."

Peeves hugged the chalk box tightly, and suddenly smiled flatteringly and leaned over: "Tell the poor, cute and well-behaved Peeves..." It raised its hand, trying to help Owen dust off his robe. Non-existent dust.

"As I said, you have to pass my test first and prove that your ability satisfies me." Owen avoided Peeves' claws, showing a reserved expression.

"Small, Peeves is omnipotent!" Peeves pointed at his fingers, but he didn't look cute at all, and even laughed enough to scare a child into tears.

"The first test, get away from me first, don't let me find you." Owen snapped his fingers.

"Quack, Peeves is the best at hide-and-seek!" Peeves said with a playful smile, and disappeared in a whoosh.

"Oh, it's interesting, I'll have fun with it later." Owen smiled and wiped off the chalk dust from his hands.He prefers to amuse with a solid and playful guy like Peeves than a frail kid who cries and yells when he doesn't move. He must have adjusted a little bit in the future.

"What is your ability? I want to learn!" Blaise said with bright eyes.

"Very simple magic," Owen said, "as long as you practice the basic skills well, it's not difficult at all."

"You're still insisting on this kind of magic, aren't you afraid that your parents will trouble you?" Daphne pursed her lips and smiled, bent over and patted the chalk dust on the hem of her clothes.Among the four, only Owen kept his clothes clean and tidy.

"..." Owen didn't want to bring up this topic.

All the world-renowned magic tricks in this world are the magic tricks of wizards, and those wizards who perform for Muggles as "magicians" are obviously deeply criticized in the wizarding world.Especially in the eyes of those wizards who look down on Muggles, this is completely self-willing and degrading. They would like to expel those people from wizarding and break their wands.

Apparently, the Shafiks were one of those people who rejected Muggles.When I was a child, Owen told his parents "I want to be a magician" innocently, as if announcing his dream was to become a monkey in a circus and perform juggling for a group of gorillas.

"There is a long way to go." Owen sighed, temporarily forgetting this troublesome trouble.

The four of them wandered around the castle, mainly because Owen was too lazy to find his way and wanted to take a stroll. After taking many detours, he found the Charms classroom, and the class hadn't started yet.
