Hogwarts: Dumbledore reigned over the wizarding world

Chapter 21 Potions Class (Part )
Over the next few days, Vaughn's life at Hogwarts got back on track.

I attend classes every day, answer professors' questions, and get feedback from them to satisfy my need for knowledge.

On the first day of school in the Charms class, he received great praise from Professor Flitwick for his superb levitation spell. The Charms expert, who was suspected to have goblin ancestry, also checked Vaughan's notes.

But he did not invite Vaughan to join his curse club.

"Your magical power is still growing, Mr. Vaughan Weasley. Young wizards of your age need to practice basic spells in depth and are not suitable for advanced research."

Professor Flitwick had said to Vaughan in a shrill voice, "But I promise, when you're in your third year, I'll invite you to join, as long as you have the time. After all, the Transfiguration Club is going to take up a lot of your time."

To show his appreciation for Vaughn's spell skills, he gave Slytherin 20 extra points that day.

This made Vaughn very happy.

He doesn't want to miss any chance to gain extra points, because the system activates new tasks after the main line ①!
[Main Mission ②: Help Slytherin win the House Cup at the end of this school year]

[Reward: 1 Talent Point, 50 Scale Magic]

It doesn't seem difficult at first, but those who are familiar with the future know that this is hellish difficulty...

The greatest white wizard of the time is preparing to train his savior, and he can even shamelessly add points for this.

Although this is the only time in the next few years, it conflicts with the system tasks.

Vaughn hasn't thought of any good solution yet, but he doesn't want to give up easily, so he just keeps trying.

Two days passed, and after a boring History of Magic class - Professor Binns' hypnosis skills amazed Vaughan. He fell asleep halfway through the class, and for this, he received a 5-point commendation from Professor Binns.

Although the other party called his name wrong.

I also experienced the mediocre astronomy class. It is said that the reason why astronomy class became a compulsory course is because it is the basis of divination.

Out of respect for his own talent for divination, "2", Vaughn shamelessly plagiarized the astronomy knowledge he learned in his previous life, which astonished Professor Sinistra. She was just curious why Vaughn was so obsessed with whether the solar system had eight or nine planets.

There is also Professor Sprout's herbal medicine class, which is very interesting.

Of course, she didn't let the first-year students do any actual practice in the first class. She just took them to the greenhouse of Hogwarts and gave them a brief introduction to the various magical plants grown in the greenhouse.

But compared to the plants, the students were actually more curious about the greenhouse - it was cast with a traceless extension spell, and divided into forests, wetlands, plateaus, deserts and other areas according to the different living environments of various plants.

It’s like entering a dream world.

In this class, Vaughan and Hermione scored 20 points each thanks to their rote book knowledge, but Neville from Gryffindor unexpectedly loved Herbology.

He actually earned 10 points... Fortunately, Gryffindor was deducted 20 points that night because of Fred and George's prank in the corridor.

Thank goodness!

I should be more grateful for the subsequent Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Professor Quirrell, who wore a large scarf on his head, was not liked by everyone because of the unpleasant smell of garlic. His teaching level was also questionable, and he only knew how to read from the book.

He even began to ramble when Gryffindor Seamus Finnigan pressed him for details on his victory over the revenants.

Vaughan came to his rescue at that time, and Professor Quirrell was very grateful for this and gave Slytherin 10 extra points.

Then a moment later, as if he had lost his memory, he added another 10 points to Slytherin.

(Note: This book uses a curriculum that combines the film version and the original novel.)
Ron and Harry made a bet: "...he must have had his brains sucked out by a vampire!"

But Vaughan knew why.

The 10 points that came after that were probably done by Professor Quirrell at the behest of the Socket Man. Speaking of which, Voldemort really loved Hogwarts and Slytherin deeply.

At the height of his career, his greatest wish was to become a professor at Hogwarts. When he failed the job interview, he simply cursed the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. "If I can't have it, no one else can!"

It’s true love!

Time goes by and it’s Friday. Today is the last class of the first week of school, Potions class!
Harry and Ron had been sighing since early morning.

"I feel like Professor Snape doesn't like me. I mean, the way he looked at me at the start-of-term dinner was... scary!"

"Don't be silly, Harry. I think he looks at everyone as if they owe him 500 gold Galleons. I heard he's particularly partial to Slytherins. Hehe, Vaughan must be so happy!"

Ron couldn't help but look towards the Ravenclaw table with a sour expression.

That's right, Vaughn sat on the Ravenclaw side today.

Before the first week of school had even passed, the first-year students discovered the biggest anomaly among them, Vaughn Weasley!

When he sat at the Gryffindor table on the first day, everyone thought his last name was Weasley and that was why he went to Gryffindor.

But the next day everyone realized that they were too naive.

He actually went to Hufflepuff again and got along well with those silly little badgers. It is said that he even took a walk around the Hufflepuff common room that night.

This "rumor" came from Ron, who told him that the Hogwarts kitchen was next to the Hufflepuff common room.

Just like that, before the end of just one week, Vaughn Weasley, this terrible boy, had already visited all the colleges!
Now every morning, when students come to the auditorium for breakfast, they will first look at the long table of their own college to see where the red-haired girl is today.

This strange new habit quickly spread to all grades and became almost a spectacle.

The most incredible thing is...

No matter which college Vaughan went to, there was always at least one person with whom he could have a lively conversation.

Slytherin has Malfoy (Mr. Malfoy actually doesn't want to), Hufflepuff has Cedric, and Gryffindor has even more.

Listening to the silver bell laughter of Penelope, the head girl, from the Ravenclaw table, Ron curled his lips:

"Humph, he's loved playing with little girls since he was little, and he hasn't changed at all."

As he was speaking, he saw Hermione suddenly lose her temper and slam the book shut. "Then why don't you, as his brother, persuade him? You're just talking nonsense here!"

Ron was puzzled: "Are you crazy? What does it have to do with me?"

Hermione, however, seemed to have taken a bullet and changed the subject, her thin lips crackling: "What else do you two do besides gossiping and complaining behind my back? Since you are worried that Professor Snape will be partial, why don't you prepare more? Classes have already started for a week..."

After a hearty speech, the girl left with the book.

Ron, who was completely bewildered by the criticism, said angrily, "She's really crazy. I didn't let Vaughn hook up with other girls, so why is she scolding me? Just wait and see, she'll definitely be chatting and laughing with Vaughn again in class later. What a stupid girl!"

What he said turned out to be true. In the Potions class, Vaughn sat with Hermione again and made her smile with just a few words.

But Ron and Harry, who guessed the answer correctly, couldn't be happy at all.

Because their other guess was also correct -

"Ah, Harry—Potter!"

In the dark basement, Professor Snape, with half of his body hidden in the shadows, stared at Harry with his dark eyes, gloomy and cold.
