A ruined Hogwarts

After the topic of sorting was over, Harry fell into silence, immersed in his wild imagination.

Owen saw the opportunity and said to Hagrid: "Hagrid, do you have a map of the Forbidden Forest or something? Or a detailed distribution map of these magical creatures?"

Hagrid's black beetle-like eyes blinked, and then his smile narrowed: "I never need a map of the Forbidden Forest, the routes are all in my head!" He pointed to his temple.

"Well, could you please..." Owen thought carefully about his words.

"Sorry, I'm afraid not." Hagrid immediately understood Owen's intentions and shook his head sharply, "I have spent almost half my life trying to drive the Weasley twins out of the Forbidden Forest. I don't want to There’s one more person I’d have to worry about driving away…”

Hagrid glanced at Owen. Although he has a simple and honest personality, he is by no means a fool.

"But you know, those who really want to explore the Forbidden Forest will not stop because of the lack of a map." Owen smiled nonchalantly.

"But at least it can prevent them from going deeper inside." Hagrid said seriously. "There are too many dangerous creatures deep in the Forbidden Forest. Although they have an agreement with the school and generally will not attack students easily, if someone accidentally If they are angered, the angry magical creatures will have no control over the agreement. If a student is in danger deep in the Forbidden Forest, I may not be able to rescue him in time."

"I said that the Forbidden Forest is very dangerous, especially for lower grade students." Hagrid persuaded him earnestly, "Don't die because of curiosity."

"Don't worry, I cherish my life." Owen pondered for a moment, nodded, and stopped continuing this topic. His current main focus really needs to be on the practice of magic spells, and the matters in the Forbidden Forest can be put off later.

"Hagrid, this report..." At this time, Harry pulled out a newspaper from the pile in his hand and shook it. The title on it was: Latest report on Gringotts break-in incident.

"The day this incident happened happened to be my birthday, so we were probably there at the time!" Harry said, "Moreover, it said: The underground vault that had been searched by intruders had been emptied earlier that day... …”

If Hagrid took the only dirty little bag from the vault that day, which meant that it was all empty, then that was what the intruder was looking for?

Hagrid avoided Harry's gaze, abruptly changed the subject, and began to talk about things in the castle.

In just half an afternoon, Owen and Hagrid had become familiar with each other, and they got along very harmoniously and naturally. Irving could make himself very popular if he wanted to.

For example, now, when Owen and Harry were about to return to the castle, Hagrid enthusiastically stuffed their pockets with rock biscuits and gave each of them a small pendant made of unicorn fur. He noticed Owen observing the decorations in his cabin.

"Hagrid, are you really not going to use these things to improve your life?" Owen shook the rough-looking pendant in his hand at Hagrid, and the snow-white hair was like flowing silver moonlight as he waved it, "Are they worth it? Less money.”

As one of the main materials for wand cores, unicorn hair is much easier to obtain than phoenix tail feathers and dragon heartstrings. However, there are only a small number of unicorns. The hair they usually shed is precious enough and has many other uses. .

"Huh? Then I can't accept it." Harry said quickly.

"It doesn't matter, take it, I have plenty of this stuff. Besides, I'm very satisfied with my current life." Hagrid patted Yaya's head, and deep smile lines appeared in the corners of his eyes. Obviously, he didn't know anything about the value of these things, he just didn't care much.

"Okay, thank you." Owen smiled and waved to him, and went back to the auditorium with Harry to have dinner.

"Don't tell me, Owen, you go with him to see that, that..." Draco said in a drawl as soon as he sat down at the long table. After speaking, he glanced at Harry, but in the end he didn't say any unpleasant nickname.

"That's Hagrid, a very nice guy!" Harry got angry at the sight of him.

"Yeah, I went to have afternoon tea with Harry." Owen yawned, "Overall, it was very pleasant, well, except for the rock cake..." He touched the stuffed item in his pocket. Take out the stone-like pancakes and put them on the dinner plate.

"It turns out that some people are not as good as others say. You have to make your own judgment." After accepting the benefits from others, Irving did not hesitate to say a few good words for him in front of others.

"Okay, I have reservations." Draco said, hugging his shoulders, "My father has never liked letting him stay in school. He always huddles on the edge of the Forbidden Forest and does some sneaky things alone. If it weren't for Dumbledore supports him..."

"Since Dumbledore believes in him, doesn't that mean anything?" Harry frowned, not wanting to hear the other party talking about this topic.

"That's not necessarily true. You know, Dumbledore is probably a little confused..." Draco curled his lips.

While the two were arguing, Owen stopped talking. He took a piece of steak and used the knife and fork slowly.

After dinner, he wrote a quick letter and went to the Owlery to mail it home.

Back in the common room, Owen quickly finished his homework as usual. With his current knowledge base, these assignments that other young wizards find very troublesome are very simple for him, just like a high school student going back and writing exercises for the first grade of junior high school.

In the following time, Owen rarely curled up in the armchair in front of the fireplace to warm himself. Instead, he said hello to the others and sneaked out of the common room.

"Speaking of which, this is my first time taking a night walk in the castle." Owen thought a little funny, "I don't know, am I such a rule-abiding person?"

In fact, he hasn't been out wandering around these days, mainly because he has been immersed in the practice of magic spells and lived a very fulfilling life every day. It didn't make much sense for him to go out for a night out. He didn't need the books in the restricted area yet.

"Besides, I haven't learned the Disillusionment Curse yet."

Owen has been coveting this spell that can make people invisible for a long time. However, as a high-level magic spell, even many adult wizards may not be able to use the Disguise Curse. Although Owen knew the principles of the Disguise Curse in advance, he had not yet taken the time to learn and practice it.

He had to eat his food one bite at a time, and most of his energy was now focused on the Defense Against the Dark Arts spells. After all, Hogwarts was really not safe.

By now, Owen has mastered most of the commonly used defense against dark arts spells, such as defensive disarming spells, obstacle spells, and confinement spells, and offensive stun spells, crushing spells, etc. As for the more advanced armor spells, blasting spells, patron saint spells, etc., Owen has not yet started practicing.

"Silent... breath covering..." Owen recited two spells to himself, blocking his own movements and smell.

"I hope I can catch a little Hufflepuff wizard who goes out for a night walk tonight." He was very curious about the purpose of these people, maybe that was the anomaly caused by him.

"However, since there hasn't been any big incident for a week, this anomaly should be quite harmless." Irving thought, "And it's very low-key... I hope it's not brewing any big news."

Since he was already familiar with the roads while exploring the castle during the day, Owen wandered around the familiar route to the Hufflepuff common room, intending to wait and see. But as soon as he arrived nearby, he almost met Mrs. Norris who was patrolling around. Owen quickly hid in the corner of the corridor to avoid those sharp yellow cat eyes.

"It seems that Mr. Filch and I are together." Owen shook his head helplessly. He watched secretly for a long time, and finally saw Filch huddled behind a wall at the entrance to the Hufflepuff lounge, waiting to catch the guys running out one by one.

There's obviously nothing going to be gained tonight.

Owen turned and left, wandering around the castle casually for a while, and met Slytherin's ghost Bloody Barrow on the way.

Well, Mr. Barrow must be having a lot of fun lately. Because Draco desperately asked him where the blood stains on his body came from, and ended up being chased and frightened by him for several days, and he almost had a nervous breakdown.

Fortunately, Owen's relationship with Bloody Barrow has always been harmonious. He chatted with this gloomy, taciturn ghost for a while, and asked him to help him pay attention to abnormalities in the castle.

When the night got darker, Owen ended his night tour and went back to rest.
