Harry Potter Returns from Baldur's Gate

Why is Hogwarts a school for training spellcasters?

The corridors are decorated with so much armor and statues of knights in armor.

Normally, the statues placed in a spellcaster's school should all be of sages and predecessors in this field.

On the one hand, this is to let the younger generations know how awesome their predecessors were.

On the other hand, it is because those spellcasters who are qualified to place statues in schools are generally difficult to kill completely.

Therefore, remembering the appearance and deeds of these sages and predecessors can help students in their future adventurous careers.

In case you accidentally dig up the wisdom of our predecessors, if you have enough emotional intelligence, you can find another teacher for yourself.

If you don't have enough emotional intelligence, at least you can die with dignity.

Don't do stupid things like using Malf's acid arrows to attack Malf or using Aiva's black tentacles to attack Aiva.

But when Harry followed the prefect, twice through doors hidden behind sliding panels and hanging curtains, and up those ever-changing stairs.

Harry realized.

Isn't this design meant to allow the spellcasters in the school to adapt to their future life as adventurers in advance?

Look at this secret passage, this non-lethal trap, and this puzzle.

And even outside of those "friendly" ghosts, there's one that's not so friendly.

A ghost called Peeves attacks new students in disgusting ways.

So authentic! So professional!

Spellcasters who graduate from this school only need a little adaptation.

You will definitely be able to get used to the terrible environments and deadly mechanisms in those dungeons and ancient tombs.

It really is worthy of being a school that specializes in training spellcasters. Our Hogwarts is truly amazing!

Even the portrait of the Fat Lady before entering the common room.

Harry felt that it was designed to help spellcasters practice their eloquence.

The only thing Harry could find fault with in the entire castle was the lack of defense.

Although this is a school for training spellcasters.

But so far I have only seen a guard who looks like a berserker. Am I being too overconfident?

Yes, the caster's ranged attack is very strong.

But if the other party sends out wizard killers and assassins, how should the principal respond?

It seemed that during the Sorting, invisible staff at Hogwarts completed the dormitory assignment.

Harry and Draco were assigned to the same dormitory, and their luggage had been placed in the dormitory, in front of the four-poster bed draped with crimson velvet curtains.

In addition to Harry and Draco's beds, there was another box next to the bed.

Harry felt that if he was right, the bed should belong to Ron.

After all, among this class of freshmen, only the strange Mr. Weasley did not return to the dormitory with them.

As Draco threw himself onto the four poster bed, stretching out with a groan.

Harry walked to his box, opened it, and pulled out his sword.

"Harry? What are you doing?"

Seeing Harry take out the sword from the box, Draco propped himself up and stuck his head out of the bed to look at Harry.

"You don't want to cause trouble for Peeves now, do you? Hunting ghosts, especially in a castle like this, is not an easy task."

Harry shook his head.

"No, I attacked an innocent ghost today and violated school rules, so I must repent."

Harry said as he walked over to the dormitory window.

Facing the window, Harry knelt on one knee with his sword in his hand, closed his eyes and began to silently recite his oath in his heart.

Although usually, this kind of confession ceremony needs to be accompanied by other paladin brothers or priests.

However, in the absence of this condition, self-repentance is not impossible.

After all, the main feature of the Paladin is self-limitation and self-strategy.

Just like Minsara, the shame of the Holy Knight, who was still speaking ill of evil thoughts a few days after joining the team.

As a result, before leaving the ghost land, Harry saw Minsara sneaking into the evil tent in the middle of the night.

Draco, who was lying on the bed, looked at Harry, who was kneeling in front of the window with his sword in hand.

After a little thought, Draco got out of bed.

He opened his suitcase and took out parchment and a quill.

First, he wrote on a piece of parchment, "Harry is performing a ritual, do not disturb him." and posted it on the door of the dormitory.

To prevent Ron from disturbing Harry when he comes back.

Although I don't understand what ritual Harry is performing.

But based on a witcher's understanding of magical rituals.

Any ritual that is interrupted during execution is risky.

After posting the reminder to Ron, Draco returned to his desk and began writing a letter home.

After decades of wandering alone in the wilderness, Draco suddenly has both parents, and now only wants to share his life with his parents.

'Dear Father and Mother'

'I'm sorry, for some reason I was sorted into Gryffindor by that stupid hat...'

After writing on two full sheets of parchment, Draco sealed the parchment.

He came to another window in the dormitory, opened it, took out a whistle and started blowing it.

Although no sound came out of the whistle, after a while a brown owl flew to the window in front of Draco.

"Thank you for the flight."

Draco tied the letter to the owl's leg.

I touched the owl's head as it hooted.

The owl stared at Draco with its big eyes, hooted twice, as if to say, "Leave it to me!", and then flew into the night sky.

Draco closed the window as he watched the owl melt into the night sky.

At the same time, in the headmaster's office, Dumbledore opened his cupboard.

From the cupboard came a plate of dark, twisting, crawling cockroach balls.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Weasley, but these are all the cockroach balls I have here now."

After placing the cockroach ball on the coffee table and pouring Ron a cup of black tea, Dumbledore pushed up his glasses.

Looking at Ron who was sitting in front of him, looking a little nervous and embarrassed.

"Relax, Mr. Weasley, there are only two of us here. Why on earth are you in such a hurry to ask me for help?"

Ron reached into his robe pocket and pulled out a sleepy, bald-haired mouse.

"Professor, don't be surprised by what I'm going to say next."

"Don't worry, Mr. Weasley. As a well-informed headmaster, I won't be surprised no matter what you say."

Dumbledore smiled and picked up a cup of tea.

"The rat."

Ron grabbed the mouse in both hands and held it towards Dumbledore.

"It was Pettigrew Pitt. He didn't die that year, but turned into a mouse and hid. Sirius, who is now imprisoned in Azkaban, is innocent."

"puff!"

A stream of hot tea spurted out of Dumbledore's nostrils as he held the teacup.

018 Mercy! Mercy!

Even the knowledgeable Dumbledore was shocked when he heard Ron talking about the rat in his hand.

It was his former student, member of the Order of the Phoenix, brave warrior, first-class recipient of the Order of Merlin, Pettigrew.

He still couldn't hold it in, and had to use hot tea to clean his nasal cavity.

But the good news is that Dumbledore has a very long beard.

So the black tea did not stain his robe.

Dumbledore waved his wand, and the tea that was sliding down his beard disappeared.

"Mr. Weasley, I think you should know that this is not something to joke about."

"Ah! It hurts!"

Just as Dumbledore turned his gaze back to Ron, he saw that the rat in Ron's hand was biting Ron's fingers frantically.

"Let go of that rat, Mr. Weasley."

Dumbledore waved his wand, and the rat, struggling madly, flew out of Ron's hand.

It was as if an invisible hand grabbed the mouse and lifted it above the coffee table.

"I have some dill here, Mr. Weasley, just keep your hands flat and don't be nervous."

Dumbledore waved his wand again, and a small brown bottle flew out of the cupboard.

The small bottle flew to Ron's side and the lid unscrewed on its own.

As the small brown bottle began to spray Ron's hands with distilled water, Dumbledore approached the rat, which was struggling desperately in mid-air.

"Oh, this is amazing."

After staring at the mouse, Dumbledore turned his head to look at Ron sitting on the sofa.
