A day at Hogwarts

"Ouch!"

Charles was reaching for the third apple pie when he heard Harry clutch his forehead and let out a groan.

"What's the matter?" Charles asked him, "was the candle dripping from the ceiling?"

When he said this, all the freshmen around him raised their heads nervously. The candles floating under the ceiling seemed magnificent and magical just now, but now they feel dangerous.

Feeling the sting from his scar go away, Harry shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

Charles ignored him, glanced at Quirrell and Snape at the guest table, and continued to eat the last piece of apple pie tonight.

Fred: "You're finally finished."

George: "If you're not full, we'll go to the kitchen and get you something to eat."

Charles immediately replied: "Don't bother, I'm just full."

Fred said with some fear, "Fortunately, you are not a child of our family."

George also said: "Otherwise Ron will starve to death."

Ron heard it, and turned his head to look at the two of them expressionlessly.

The food on the table disappeared, Dumbledore stood up, and the cafeteria fell silent.

The principal chose to read the precautions, and when he talked about the Forbidden Forest, he took a special look at the twins, and even Charles was shot.

After Charles learned to sing the school song to the tune of "Funeral March", he and other freshmen followed Percy to the Gryffindor common room.

Everyone came to their respective dormitories according to the nameplates on the door of the dormitory. Charles, Seamus Finnigan and other roommates greeted each other.

He looked at his bed, took out his wand and "cleaned" the bedding.

Seamus asked him strangely: "Why are you doing this?"

Charles replied: "Well... I'm a bit of a clean freak. I don't know how long these quilts have been placed and whether they have been washed."

Seamus also felt that his bedding was not clean when he heard it, so he took out his wand and imitated Charles' gestures and incantations just now: "Clean and new!"

Thirty seconds later, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall appeared in the dormitory, staring at the clean bed boards for a while.

"Mr. Finnigan," Dumbledore turned to ask the "African student" beside him, "can you tell me what happened?"

Seamus smirked and replied: "I think the bedding is a bit dirty, so I used the cleaning spell I read in the book. I saw my mother use it before, so I think I can do it. It seems that the cleaning is a bit too much."

Charles felt that this buddy could get along, but he didn't say that he learned from him, so as not to be arrested by the principal.

Dumbledore has seen this kind of situation a lot, he took out his wand and said to Seamus, "This is how this spell works, watch it."

"Clean up!"

He cast a cleansing spell on Seamus carefully and slowly, and Seamus instantly turned back to being white.

At this time, Professor McGonagall also began to cast spells: "Restore as before!"

It's just that the cotton and rags all over the room didn't give Hogwarts vice-principal Gryffindor head Professor McGonagall any face, and remained motionless.

Two seconds later, the tatters in the bedroom disappeared completely, and a brand new set of bedding appeared on Seamo's bed, exactly the same as before.

Charles pretended not to see that Dumbledore gave his best friend a wink of "Am I awesome?", applauded and exclaimed: "Wow! Professor McGonagall is amazing!"

He thought in his heart that Lao Deng was really awesome, Wuzhe Silently issued a cleaning spell and a flying spell, but this flying spell was an advanced version, and the things he wanted were teleported.

Before leaving, Dumbledore said to Seamus, "Don't worry, the bedding at Hogwarts is clean."

After the two leaders left, a group of people rushed in to ask this and that. The explosion just now could be heard clearly even in the common room downstairs.

Charles slipped out of his bedroom, dragged Harry into his bedroom, and agreed to borrow his owl while on the train.

When writing the letter, Charles asked Harry, "Would you like to report to Mrs. Dursley for you?"

Harry shrugged and said, "She'll be disappointed."

So Charles wrote at the end of the letter: "Please tell Mrs. Dursley the bad news. Harry arrived at the school safely."

Hedwig flew out of the window with the letter and disappeared into the night.

At this time Harry said: "You shouldn't tell Mr. Smith about the train, he can't interfere with the wizard's affairs, it will only worry him."

Charles just smiled and didn't say much, but changed the subject: "Did you know that owls can fly very fast when delivering letters, and they will be able to fly to Privet Drive in a short while."

Harry looked surprised to hear that.

The disturbance caused by Simon came and went quickly. After all, everyone was tired today, and many people started to yawn.

Good students at Hogwarts don't have much night life, and twin brothers don't go to the Forbidden Forest on the first night of term.

Charles tossed and turned on the bed for a long time. After all the students in the dormitory fell asleep, they looked at the mechanical clock beside the bed. It was only past 10 o'clock.

He thought about it, gave up the idea of ​​going to the Room of Requirement, closed his eyes and started counting sheep, but found that the more he counted, the more he couldn't fall asleep, and finally he stopped counting altogether, and soon fell asleep in a daze.

The next morning, Charles confronts a Nearly Headless Nick after leaving the common room and asks him to take him to the cafeteria.

The stairs in Hogwarts are always changing. Yesterday's path may not be the same today. The only way to ask for directions is troublesome ghosts and portraits on the wall.

On the right path, I came quite early, and today's breakfast just happened to appear on the long table.

Charles sat down hastily and finished eating before the messenger owl arrived.

He picked up an empty plate and ordered some slices of toast, two fried eggs, two roasted tomatoes, a plate of fried bacon and a plate of grilled sausage, and when he was done he ordered a bowl of oatmeal with a lot of sugar.

After last night's dinner, it was common for others to see his big appetite, only Dumbledore was thinking about whether to charge him extra for food.

Charles is also speechless about his special physique. He has eaten a lot since he was a child. Because of this, the old man also uses Legilimency on himself to see if he is really hungry or whether he is still eating hard.

He also wondered if he was thrown into the trash can because he ate too much and couldn't afford it.

It's just that the old man made a new discovery later, if he ate magical animals, his appetite would be the same as that of ordinary people.

Charles can't tell others about this, because there is no precedent, and secondly, many wizards may think that there are clues to supernatural events.

One second before more than a hundred owls flew into the cafeteria, Charles finally had enough to eat and drink.

Hedwig actually came back with Jack's reply letter. The round trip is estimated to be 1,600 kilometers.

Charles fed it a bit of bacon while reading the old man's reply.

The letter was full of words telling him to study hard and take care of his body. The only exception was the loud thunderstorm last night.

At this moment, there was a commotion on the Slytherin table, and several people went to Malfoy with newspapers.

Xiao Ma's face seemed to be paler than before, and the hand holding the newspaper was shaking a little.

Charles himself subscribed to the Daily Prophet, only the owls came a little later than the others.

The headline on the front page of today’s newspaper is that an unknown explosion occurred last night at Malfoy Manor in Wiltshire, England. The accompanying GIF photo was taken from the sky, with a 360° view of the crime scene. The walls are still there but the roof is gone. up.

The Daily Prophet reported that after the explosion, the Ministry of Magic attached great importance to it. Minister of Magic Fudge immediately issued important instructions, requiring the Auror Command and the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters to organize elite forces to properly handle the scene, quickly find out the truth, and seriously investigate the perpetrators; immediately organize rescue work, further preventive work, and prevent Similar incidents happened again. At present, the owner of the manor is in a very unstable mood.

Not long after, a foreign visitor came to the cafeteria. He looked like a lion, strode up to Dumbledore and whispered a few words to him.

Dumbledore just nodded, turned his head and said a few words to Snape, got up and followed Rufus Scrimgeour and left.
