Hogwarts Raven

Chapter 56: Watching in the Dark

The questions in the first year of school did not stump the new little wizard.

Everyone quickly entered the lounge.

then.

Two class leaders, one male and one female, gave speeches respectively to show off their presence. Both of them were good at speaking, and there was lively applause of high emotional intelligence in the lounge.

The two satisfied people began to assign dormitories to the first-year students.

There are only seven little wizards in Ravenclaw this year.

Perhaps it was because of the care from the class leader, or maybe he was just lucky today, after the four little wizards formed a dormitory, he was assigned to the dormitory with three people.

Coincidentally.

Nick, who left a deep impression on Ian at the party, and a boy with green hair became Ian's roommates, who had to share a room but different beds for the next seven years.

The decoration inside the dormitory is the same color as the lounge outside. Five desks are lined up in front of the window, and flannel curtains are hung in front of several beds.

"Ian Prince."

After stuffing his suitcase under the bed, Ian took the lead in introducing himself to his roommates, while his two roommates were busy dumping the contents of their suitcases.

"William Smith, I remember you. It took you ten full minutes to sort the houses." The green-haired boy had many freckles on his face, which are so popular among Europeans and Americans.

Not much.

"Has it been that long? I just remember chatting with the Sorting Hat for a few minutes." Ian was a little surprised. He shook hands with William, the freckled boy who walked up to him and extended his hand.

"I also feel that time flies by so fast. The Sorting Hat may have stolen some of our time. Maybe that's why it has been able to live so long."

The little black wizard also joined the chat.

"My name is Michael Jordan."

He added his self-introduction.

"Nice name, you must be suitable for playing Quidditch." Ian was not a man who held grudges, until he saw Little Nico take out a large bag of fried chicken legs and French fries from somewhere.

"Do you want to eat? I secretly hid some during the dinner." Michael put a large bag of food on the table and took a chicken leg and started to eat it frantically.

"You have a bag with an expansion spell cast on it! I've seen introductions to them in extracurricular books!" Green-haired William looked at the small cloth bag on Michael's bed with surprise.

Ian stared at the still hot chicken drumstick in Michael's hand.

Good guy!
Before, the food in front of him disappeared so quickly. Now he finally found the hateful reason!
"Yes, that was the school admission gift my mother gave me a few days ago." Michael said a little embarrassedly while gnawing on the chicken leg in his hand.

"I don't know why, my mother never let me eat these things since I was a child, but they are really delicious..." As he said that, he squeezed a little more ketchup into his mouth.

A very unique way to eat French fries.

"My mother didn't give me anything. She is an ordinary person who can't do magic. Only my father is a wizard. But everything in our family is decided by my mother."

"My mother is in charge of the money, maybe she is smarter. But our family is very poor, and any money we have has to be used to support my brother and sister."

William hesitated for a moment, then decided to grab a handful of French fries and began to eat them slowly.

"Half-blood? That's not bad. Although I come from a pure-blood family, I never saw my father since I was a child. He died not long after I was born."

"It is said that he died in the fight with the mysterious man. My mother often cried and said that he fell before dawn." Michael's voice was a little sad.

but.

This did not affect his speed in showing off his chicken legs.

"He must love you." Ian offered some comfort.

"That's true. I always knew that he loved us very much. The reason why he joined the struggle was actually because of my birth. He wanted to create a more stable environment for my future."

Michael finally choked up and couldn't eat the chicken leg anymore.

"You are at least better than me. I am an orphan and have never seen my parents since I was a child." At this time, Ian also joined the misery competition in the dormitory.

Not surprisingly.

He received two pairs of compassionate eyes.

"You are so pathetic."

"Come on, have two chicken legs."

Both of them admitted defeat, and Michael even handed Ian a chicken leg - compared to eating this kind of thing as a midnight snack, he actually wanted to eat some watermelon jelly.

"No, I'm on a diet." Ian shook his head and chose to refuse. He looked at Michael's bed. It was obvious that there was no watermelon jelly hidden in the empty bag.

Michael probably showed off all of this stuff at the party.

"You are so thin, do you still want to lose weight?"

William's eyes widened.

"If I were you, I would eat more. You're too thin." Michael nodded in agreement and stuffed the chicken leg handed to Ian into his mouth.

"I have to eat. My mother said I'm still growing a brain."

have to say.

His appetite is really big.

"I need to review the knowledge in the textbook. I don't want to be unable to answer the professor's questions in class tomorrow." William packed up his things and took out the textbook.

He turned on his small desk lamp, sat down at the desk and tried to open the book.

"Actually, there's no need to be so nervous. Even children from pure-blood families don't learn any magic before entering school. As long as we listen carefully in class, we'll be fine."

After Michael had eaten and drunk his fill, he headed for the bathroom.

"Makes sense."

Ian felt that what Heige said was right. However, William obviously insisted on his own ideas. He sat in front of the desk and studied hard. He seemed to be reviewing the knowledge related to "History of Magic".

"Why are you sitting at the table?"

After washing up, Michael walked out of the bathroom and found Ian also sitting at a desk.

"I'm just writing a letter home to prevent the adults in the orphanage from worrying about me. They're all very nice people." Ian showed the papers on his desk.

Michael came up to take a look suspiciously, and then he was sure that Ian was not the kind of roommate who would secretly cheat on others. Ian was indeed writing a letter with a quill pen.

Dear Dean Irina:
I have settled in well at Hogwarts School for Gifted Youngsters. The classmates here are very friendly and the professors are rare experts in their respective fields.

I hope you don't worry. Tell Daniel and Joey that no one bullies me because of my background and the whole school has a very strong learning atmosphere.

if……】

The letter is not finished yet.

Michael just glanced at it and didn't look at it carefully.

"Maybe I should write a letter to my mother tomorrow." He thought as if he was inspired, yawned, and walked towards his bed.

Fall down and go to sleep.

This may not be a talent.

Amid the snoring of his talented roommate, William put on earplugs and continued studying, while Ian once again carefully considered his words and wrote a letter to the orphanage to let them know that he was safe.

Because of the special nature of Hogwarts and the confusion spell the school cast on several adults in the orphanage, he could only try his best to disguise Hogwarts as an outstanding Muggle elite school.

This is not an easy task.

after all.

What kind of life students of elite colleges should live depends entirely on his imagination. It would be a bad idea if he accidentally wrote something ridiculous about rich people eating rice with braised chicken.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

The sound of the quill pen was faintly heard.

William's small desk lamp was very bright, perhaps it was some kind of Muggle item that had been modified without permission. Ian, who had finished writing the letter by the light, also chose to go to bed after washing up.

William is still working hard alone.

A light rain has begun to fall outside the window.

In the quiet night.

There was a slight flash of lightning in the sky, and in the brief and dim light outside the window, no one noticed that a pair of strange eyes were staring into the dormitory.

It was a strange creature hanging upside down under the eaves, close to the eaves tiles, with a pair of blue wings. It looked like a reptile and a giant butterfly.

It was so hidden and attached to the eaves, staring at the Ravenclaw dormitory. In its small and strange eyes, Ian, who was already sleeping, was reflected...his little head.

[ps: Thanks to the experts for pointing out, I have modified the questions in the previous chapter. Actually, I just wanted to write a question that can have multiple answers if the logic is used! ]
