Hogwarts Raven

Chapter 46 46: The Culprit? Warning!

Pry the board.

Digging.

Pry open the coffin.

Fill the land and cover it with wooden boards.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. This smooth operation did not take up too much of Ian's time. He climbed onto the hard wooden bed before 11 o'clock in the evening.

"At least it's better for the cervical and lumbar vertebrae."

At a young age, Ian has already started to think about health preservation. His sleep quality is actually pretty good on weekdays, but tonight he can't help but suffer from insomnia caused by his active brain.

"The free library, the Hogwarts kitchen, the Owlery in the west tower... I hope no one uses it as a buffet."

Active thinking.

Overcame the drowsiness caused by physical fatigue.

Ian couldn't help but start planning his goals for the first grade.

"I must look for the Room of Requirement carefully. Perhaps it can give me a wand that I can't take out, so that I can practice magic in the room without any worries."

"Anyone who wants to learn Quidditch can learn it, but we still need to study the flying broom. Maybe it will be cool if we modify it... It's a pity that I didn't get on the Hogwarts Express."

Ian didn't know when he fell asleep.

outside the window.

The stars are like diamonds left on black velvet, shining softly and far away. A shooting star streaks across the sky, like a random stroke of ink on a scroll of starry sky.

The chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves accompanied people until dawn.

"Wash your teeth! Brush your face!"

He didn't even need the alarm clock to remind him. When the sunlight streamed into the room, he suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up, and quickly put on the black robe that Snape had bought for him in Diagon Alley.

Most wizards would change into their school uniforms on the Hogwarts Express, but he obviously didn't have that opportunity, so he could only put on his clothes when he got up.

You can't just take it off and change it in front of the whole school, right?
No one would throw the damned Galleons at him.

"Even if we have gold Galleons, we can't make such a fool of ourselves!" Ian is a money-loving man. Instead of earning this kind of money by selling his body, he thinks it would be better to go to Knockturn Alley and rob wizard Nigel.

After checking the firmness of the floor and whether all his belongings were packed back into the suitcase, Ian began to wait for Snape's arrival with great anticipation.

that's it.

The sun rose in the east, the sun was high in the sky, and the sun moved towards the west... Ian's expression changed from his initial eagerness to a kind of emptiness and loneliness as if he had no desire to live.

"You've forgotten me!"

Ian remembered that Snape said he would pick him up when school started, but after waiting for almost a whole day, Snape still didn't come. He had begun to consider re-examining Snape's credibility.

In the original work.

The credibility of this old bat really doesn't seem to be very good. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he might have been stood up. Ian picked up his suitcase and planned to go to Hogwarts on his own.

The terminus of the Hogwarts Express is also near the village. It is not too far from the Hogwarts castle, but it passes through a densely forested path along the way.

"Bang~"

Just as he was dragging his suitcase towards the front door, the door of the cabin was rudely kicked open. Snape, with an unchanging expression, walked in and looked around.

He seemed relieved.

The deep gaze finally fell on Ian.

"When you're done packing, follow me."

Done.

Snape turned around with a stern face and walked out of the house.

"I thought you forgot about me."

Ian hurried to follow.

"Oh, so you don't have long legs and can't go to school by yourself?"

Snape sneered.

"I'm just planning to rely on myself."

Ian curled his lips.

Following Snape out of the door, he saw that besides himself, there was another person waiting outside with a suitcase.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the girl's face, casting a faint golden glow on her platinum hair. "Miss Grindelwald."

Ian greeted with some surprise.

"Good afternoon, my friend, you can just call me by my first name."

Aurora nodded slightly.

Seeing that the two knew each other, Snape immediately frowned. His eyes kept switching between the two people, and finally looked at Aurora sharply.

"You taught him that magic?"

obviously.

Snape connected the [Corpse Curse] that Ian learned with Aurora.

Although Ian's learning ability made him feel frustrated, he still didn't believe that he could pick up any small notes recording dark magic on the streets of Hogsmeade village.

"He didn't learn any magic from me."

Aurora and Snape looked at each other with indifferent tones, and no emotion could be seen in their different-colored eyes. She was not frightened by Snape's eyes.

"Ms. Grindelwald, I don't care why Dumbledore agreed to your application to enter Hogwarts. I just hope you can abide by the rules of Hogwarts."

"Don't let something that shouldn't be there be found circulating in the school." Snape's voice was very stern, obviously a veiled warning.

"It's a reasonable request." Aurora nodded without objecting. Ian, who was standing not far from her, was always watching to see if the girl was trying to take out her wand.

"And you!"

Snape suddenly turned and looked at Ian.

"What nonsense did you say in front of Dumbledore?"

His eyes looked like he wanted to eat someone.

"what?"

Ian looked confused.

"I just treated Headmaster Dumbledore to a cup of tea." Ian recalled his previous interactions with Dumbledore, with a puzzled and somewhat resentful expression on his face.

"I think my manners are very appropriate, but it's Headmaster Dumbledore's bird that almost made me enter old age early." Ian subconsciously touched the top of his head.

Lives in England.

A man has to worry about two things from the moment he is born.

One is that like attracts like.

The second...naturally, is whether the top of your head will become the Mediterranean Sea.

"If you hadn't been talking nonsense, how could Dumbledore..."

Snape opened his mouth in annoyance and was about to yell.

however.

"Professor, when do we leave?"

Aurora interrupted him.

Perhaps realizing that family rumors should not be heard by outsiders, Snape swallowed the questions on his lips and walked straight past the two people to the outside of Hogsmeade village with a gloomy face.

"Follow!"

His voice was booming.

"Hey, buddy, do you need me to help you with your luggage?"

Ian came closer to Aurora enthusiastically.

“For me, it’s easy.”

Aurora calmly refused Ian's help.

"I knew you were good at it. So, could you help me hold it? It's not easy for me to drag it."

In front of the girl's stunned gaze, Ian dragged his suitcase directly to her other side, and considerately pushed the girl's hands away and put the suitcase handle on them.

"?????"

Eyes widened in disbelief.

Aurora watched Ian run forward.
