Chapter 15 I Was Brainwashed Before School Started
·
Jing Shen Tian Si
Ron pulled out his wand with some embarrassment. It looked a little old, and it didn't look like it was used by a new student at all. It might be a second-hand product, or even a third-hand product.
But given the 'poverty' of the Weasleys, it's not surprising.
The wand he used may have been passed down from the family, as for how many generations it has been passed down, it depends on the situation.
Ron cleared his throat and raised his wand lightly, "Yang..."
As soon as he uttered the first word of the spell, a girl in a black robe appeared at the door of their box, looking slightly panting.
"Hermione?"
"Huh?" The girl was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect that anyone here knew her, and then she turned her gaze to the place where the voice came from.
"Aaron? Are you here too?" Hermione said with some joy.
"Otherwise?" Aaron rolled his eyes, "I'm also a freshman at Hogwarts, so it's normal on this train!"
"That's right." Hermione said with some embarrassment, "By the way, have you seen a toad? Someone named Neville lost one."
"Woo..." Abe groaned softly, then patted his stomach triumphantly.
Hermione's complexion changed slightly, "Don't tell me you were eaten by it."
Snapped!
Aaron patted Abe directly on the head, "Don't get me wrong, he just ate a chocolate frog.
As for the toad you mentioned, we haven't seen it yet. "
"Okay!" said Hermione, and laid her eyes on Ron's wand. "You're doing magic. May I see?"
Ron cleared his throat again, trying to make his spelling sound as clear as possible.
"Sunshine, daisies, and buttery scents.
Quickly turn this stupid fat mouse yellow. "
The wand swung down, and then nothing happened, not a hair changed color.
Ron looked at the three people in the box with some embarrassment, his face was slightly red.
The corner of Aaron's mouth twitched, "Ron, your brother must be very fond of pranks, right?
I think I have read a lot of books and know a lot of spells, but this is the first time I have heard such a spell.
Are you... sure it's a spell? "
"Eh..." Ron didn't know what to say, and he also realized that he was probably deceived by Fred.
"Indeed, your spell doesn't seem to be very effective." Hermione said, "Of course, I have also tried a few simple spells, and they all work."
As Hermione said, she drew out her wand, sat next to Aaron, and pointed the wand in her hand at Harry's worn-out glasses, "For example..."
Before she finished speaking, Aaron suppressed the black wand in her hand.
"Aaron, what are you doing?" Hermione said a little displeased, and her interest in casting spells was much less.
"I just think it's best not to target people when testing spells, or at least get their consent.
It may be impolite and dangerous for you to start directly like this, it’s okay if you succeed, but in case you fail..."
It was only then that Hermione noticed that the boy opposite her was staring at her nervously, with a hint of panic in addition to vigilance in his eyes.
"Excuse me, can you give me your glasses?"
"Oh, no problem." Harry breathed a sigh of relief, then took off his glasses and handed them to Hermione.
Hermione waved her wand lightly and said the spell, "Ocalas Rapelo."
The patches on the nose pads of the glasses popped out, and the nose pads were all new.
"It'll be fixed soon," said Hermione.
Harry picked up his glasses with wide eyes, and exchanged a glance with the surprised Ron, as if he didn't expect this proud girl's magic to be so effective.
Hermione also noticed the lightning scar on Harry's forehead, and said in surprise, "It's amazing, you are Harry Potter."
"Wait? Hermione, how do you know about him?" Aaron asked in surprise. It's normal for a wizard to know Harry Potter. After all, the boy who lived a catastrophe is a household name in the wizarding world.
But Hermione is a child of a pure Muggle family, and she also knows the name of Harry Potter, which is a bit abnormal.
Muggles probably know only a little less about the wizarding world than Harry Potter himself.
"Read a book! His name is included in several books that record the history of modern magic." Hermione said naturally.
"So that's how it is. If you are so studious, you will most likely be assigned to Ravenclaw."
"Ravenclaw?" Hermione raised her eyebrows slightly, "But I want to go to Gryffindor, Dumbledore graduated from that academy, so one can imagine how excellent it is.
What about you Aaron?Which college do you want to go to? "
"Me? It doesn't matter, as long as it's not a Hufflepuff.
But there is a great possibility that he will be assigned to Slytherin! "
"No, you can't go to that academy?" Harry said hastily, then blushed, lowered his head and explained, "I heard from Hagrid that basically all the people who come out of that academy are dark wizards."
"Huh?" Aaron frowned, then smiled disdainfully: "If I'm not mistaken, this Hagrid must have graduated from Gryffindor!
Only Gryffindors hate Slytherin so much. "
"But my parents also said that Slytherins weren't nice people," said Ron.
"Huh? Your parents didn't graduate from Gryffindor, did they?"
Ron did not speak, expressing his acquiescence.
"My God! You two are really... brainwashed before you even started school.
Why does Hogwarts keep the house if Slytherin is really that bad?
If Slytherin is directly dismantled, wouldn't the law and order environment in the wizarding world be greatly improved?
And as far as I know, Slytherin is the best-achieving house among the four houses. "
"Slytherins are the worst, anyway," Ron muttered. "You-Know-Who came from that house."
"Alas!" Aaron sighed, "Forget it, let's wait and see!
I don't think there is any distinction between good and bad colleges, only talents. You can't say that there is no good person in the huge Slytherin! "
In a word, Harry and Ron were speechless. Although they hated this college, they really couldn't deny the whole college just because they didn't like it.
"That's not wrong." Hermione smiled and stood up, "I still have to help Neville find his toad, so I'll be leaving first.
By the way, just to remind you, it's time to change into the uniforms, we should be almost there. "
Hermione paused when she walked out of the box. She turned her head and looked at Ron, then pointed to her nose, "You have a dirty thing on your nose, you know? It's right here."
Ron glared at her lightly, and then began to wipe it with his hands. After discovering the blackness on his hands, he looked at the two sullenly, "Don't you remind me."
"Sorry, you're on my left, and I don't have good eyesight, so I didn't see you," Harry said.
"Dirty things?" Aaron couldn't help laughing, "I thought it was a birthmark?"
Ron: …
As the night fell, the express train got closer and closer to the terminal, and finally stopped with the sound of long whistles.
Students of all grades wearing black robes got off the bus one after another, and the originally empty platform suddenly became crowded.
But it's not too crowded, after all, the students' suitcases are all in the car, and they will be packed and sent to Hogwarts by someone.
"Here we are, first-year students please go this way.
Come on, first-year students, don't be shy, hurry up and catch up. "A rough-looking giant with a big beard said loudly holding a lamp.
"He is Hagrid." Harry introduced to Ron and Aaron excitedly.
"The giants?" Aaron raised his eyebrows. "Nowadays, the number of giants is relatively rare. I only saw them a few times in Diagon Alley. I didn't expect there to be Hogwarts."
"He's a gamekeeper," said Harry, and waved Hagrid.
But given the 'poverty' of the Weasleys, it's not surprising.
The wand he used may have been passed down from the family, as for how many generations it has been passed down, it depends on the situation.
