Hogwarts: From Squibs to Greatness

Chapter 18 Want to go to the red dragon in the little badger pile

"Don't pay attention to these Harrys, you are not from a Muggle family"

"If his parents are wizards, he can see how famous you are in the wizarding world when he was at the Leaky Cauldron. He most likely grew up hearing your name."

"Actually, how much does he know! I have seen many excellent wizards from Muggle families, each of whom has created unparalleled achievements. For example, your mother was an excellent witch. At that time, Hogwarts Every teacher likes your mother!"

Harry looked at Hagrid who was talking, and he learned about his mother again from Hagrid.

It turned out that my mother was not as unbearable as the Dursleys said, but such an excellent person.

Harry's green eyes, like his mother's, shone brightly, full of longing and longing for his mother, with little tears shining.

Seeing the emotion in those green eyes, John for no reason thought of those words of Ollivander, and the memory of his mother.

The girl who was like the most gorgeous flower in his mouth, in John's memory, was like that gloomy manor, with no smile on her face, only a solitude.

Seemingly aware that what he said just now made the atmosphere a bit uncomfortable, Hagrid said a little bluntly: "By the way, Harry, do you have any questions?"

Hearing Hagrid's words, Harry rubbed his eyes in a panic. As for John, he sighed inwardly, and then rearranged his mentality.

Everyone spontaneously ignores what just happened.

Harry took a bite of his ice cream before he said, "So what are Slytherins and Hufflepuffs?"

"That's the name of the house. There are four houses in the school, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. The outside world says that Hufflepuff has a lot of crooks, but I think that's just a misunderstanding. ..."

"I think I will be sorted into Hufflepuff." Harry said sadly.

But at the same time, he also noticed that when Hagrid said "Slytherin", the expression on his face became visibly disgusted.

"I'd rather go into Hufflepuff than Slytherin!" Hagrid said with a gloomy face, without hiding the disgust on his face, "There is no wizard who turned bad who didn't come out of Slytherin, and My-Know-Who is one of them."

"V...I'm sorry...the mysterious man also went to Hogwarts?" Harry stared at Hagrid with wide eyes, and at the same time subconsciously touched his scar.

"Many, many years ago." Hagrid's tone was full of regret.

Harry realized that what he said just now was really inappropriate, so he turned his head and looked at John who had finished eating ice cream and was wiping his hands with a handkerchief.

Just like Hagrid changed the subject before, Harry asked, "By the way, John, which college do you want to go to?"

"I want to be in Hufflepuff"

"why?"

Not only Harry was curious now, but Hagrid was too.

"Although I didn't mean it that way, but John, you don't look like... you know, you idiot?" Harry asked puzzled.

"Yes, John, I think you are suitable for Gryffindor or Ravenclaw," Hagrid said equally puzzled.

Although the two colleges mentioned by Hagrid were also candidates in John's plan, John finally chose to enter Hufflepuff after careful consideration.

Entering Hufflepuff can not only naturally reduce Dumbledore's suspicion of him, but also prevent him from being considered the second senior Tom because of his outstanding performance in the future.

At the same time, the little badgers are very Buddhist, and they will not be overly enthusiastic like Gryffindor, nor will they be extremely introverted like Ravenclaw, or Slytherin will use their blood to conduct internal bullying.

Moreover, Hufflepuff doesn't have too many grievances with other colleges, and he won't be bullied because he doesn't want to participate in related activities. He doesn't want to spend some energy on these unimportant things.

The little badgers don't interfere too much with each other's lives. Most of the time, the little badgers like to do their own things. This environment is conducive to his research on magic.

After all, his system just needed a year to cool down, not break down.

Now he has enough knowledge for him to study in this year, combining the magic of these different worlds, isn't it interesting?
But I still want to declare that such an attitude among the little badgers does not mean that they are indifferent. In fact, the little badgers have never lacked unity and courage.

For example, all the members of Hufflepuff stayed in the final battle and contributed their strength to defend Hogwarts.

And unlike the bravery of Gryffindor who can sacrifice for justice, the courage to choose to fight after knowing the consequences of things after careful consideration is also extraordinary.

Last but not least, who can refuse the password of the kitchen and the never-changing bedroom?
John felt that the part of himself belonging to the blue planet was about to move. After all, China in the main world had the same history and culture as the China in his memory.

Therefore, according to the main world Huaxia's recipes, the delicacies made by Tom are not much different from the taste in memory.

At that time, Tom can go to Hogwarts in advance to guide the house elves of Hogwarts. At that time, even if Tom has something to do, he can ask them to have a little trouble at any time.

And John made such a decision, and there was a little reason for the blood of the red dragon.

Dragons are always obsessed with something in the story, whether it is gold coins or power, there will always be one thing that the dragon pursues.

John naturally also brought such characteristics. He was obsessed with food and knowledge, and it happened that Hufflepuff perfectly met his requirements.

"My situation was complicated but overall Hufflepuff was the best place for me"

Harry didn't say anything after hearing what John said. After all, he didn't know much about these things himself. He planned to ask Hagrid after shopping.

But Hagrid is different, he seems to really want John to enter Gryffindor, Hagrid keeps talking about how good Gryffindor is, that is the place where the great wizard Dumbledore once stayed, etc. if.

Some stupid Hagrid mobilized all the vocabulary he had learned, his face was a little red, he still didn't persuade John, and in the end he could only show regret and let it go.

Soon a few people came to the door of the Yila Owl store, and there was a low and soft whining sound from this dark store.

The sign in front of the door reads: Yila Owl Shop - Gray Forest Owl, Screech Owl, Grass Owl, Brown Owl, Snow Owl.

Push the door and enter, and you can see that the house is full of various bird racks and bird cages, and there are various owls sitting upright.

Compared with only five kinds of owls written on the signboard, the store is like a small owl exhibition.

Whether it's the world's smallest owl, which is only the size of a sparrow, or the world's largest, the fur-legged fish owl, which is as big as a 4-month-old baby.

After some selection, Hagrid still bought a female snowy owl for Harry as before, and this snowy owl was still named 'Hedwig' by Harry.

And John took a fancy to a male pharaoh eagle owl.

This large owl that inhabits Egypt and Africa, known locally as the Desert Eagle, is a rather large owl.

The one John was looking at had the signature ear hairs of owls from the Horned Owl genus, though compared to other species in the same genus, his ear hairs were relatively short and pointed.

Because the habitat is mostly rocky land and desert, the feathers are yellowish brown with dark spots, and the edges are sandy brown.

Without hesitation, since he liked it, John paid directly to buy the pharaoh eagle owl, which he named "Ramesses".

Looking at Ramses in the cage who wanted to be arrogant at first, but was as quiet as a chicken after being threatened by himself with dragon power, John nodded in satisfaction.

At that time, I will refine a storage leg ring and a concealed crown for Ramses, and cooperate with the house elves to silently respond internally. This should ensure that his correspondence with his mother will not be discovered by the family.

He and Harry walked out of the shop with their birdcages, and then accompanied Harry to buy other things needed for school, and witnessed Harry get the twin-core wand.

John and Harry parted ways and agreed to meet again on the train, then John and Tom Apparated and disappeared in front of Harry and Hagrid.

……

1991/8/30

After John finished writing the last sentence, he folded the letter in the envelope and put it in the envelope, and stamped his seal with a wax seal.

He handed it to Ramses who was standing on the bird stand beside him, and watched the letter disappear into the gold leg ring with rubies on his left leg.

This is his combination of the knowledge of Howl's world, and a little bit of luck in alchemy. The specially made leg ring that combines the two functions of shielding and storage can prevent Ramses from being easily returned by the family's protective magic. There are house elves to discover.

Then he gave another letter to Tom who was standing on the other side, and asked him to send it to Harry. John still felt pity for this child who was desperate for love.

But he won't take the initiative to be a nanny, it's good to maintain the current good relationship, isn't it?
Seeing Ramses and Tom leaving the room one after another, John nodded in satisfaction.

"Clean up"

With John's arm waving, a standard spell was recited, and the top of the red dragon wand in his hand lit up, as if an invisible hand appeared, cleaning the messy desktop clean and tidy.

This is one of the results of his self-study for more than a month after returning from Diagon Alley.

After more than a month of study, after self-studying all the book knowledge from the first to third grades, plus some magic books he collected, the column of unrecorded skills in the system finally disappeared, and John also learned that the magic wand spell is Haribo The magical name of the special world.

Perhaps it was due to the lack of relevant knowledge, although according to the process in the book, with a little reminder from memory, John successfully cast the magic.

But John has no idea of ​​the working principle. He doesn't need to learn a lot of knowledge like spells and Howl's world magic. He just needs to read the spell according to the gesture standard, and he can mobilize the magic power to cast the magic.

Just like in memory, after Harry got Snape's old textbook, he learned a little about the gestures and spells of "Shen Feng Wu Ying" and he was able to release them smoothly.

But some aspects are the same. The more thorough the research on magic and the more sensitive to magic, then you can cast silent spells, or more advanced silent spells without wands.

It seems that enrollment is still needed to solve the problem of insufficient knowledge reserves. After all, none of the books available on the market involve advanced knowledge.

The Hogwarts library is one of the largest magical libraries in the entire world. It has been passed down for thousands of years, and countless profound magical knowledge is stored in it. It is estimated that only some orphan copies of Hogwarts that have been passed down from generation to generation by pure-blood families do not exist.

Thinking that he will officially enter Hogwarts in two days, John can't help looking forward to the knowledge he can learn in the library.
