A ruined Hogwarts

Returning to the real world of Charms class, Owen rubbed his brows and looked a little tired.

But he still forced himself to pay attention to his side, clenching the wand in his hand vigilantly, trying to find any possible abnormalities.

This wasn't because he was overly vigilant, but an instinctive reaction from years of bad luck. Although the various anomalies that happened around him were not life-threatening, the facts proved that if he did not want to lose the right to choose a spouse on the first day of school like Harry Potter, he had better be extremely vigilant.

Professor Flitwick had already finished explaining the key points of releasing the Illumination Spell, and was patrolling the classroom with his hands behind his back to watch the young wizards practice their spells. The small figure was buried between the desks that seemed particularly tall to him.

"Lumos!"

Blaise muttered something in a low voice, and a bright white light bloomed from the tip of the wand. The light was steady and dazzling. He looked lazy and showed no interest. After all, he was also from a wizarding family and had practiced some magic spells before enrolling in school.

Amidst the noisy chanting of spells, most of the little wizards in the classroom were able to successfully cast the spell. After all, this is the first spells class, so it’s better not to damage the little wizards’ self-confidence too much.

The bright light flickered in and out of the classroom, making people's eyes hurt.

"Why have you been in a daze just now? You were almost discovered by Professor Flitwick." Blaise glanced at Owen and whispered.

"Well, I'm having a brainstorm." Owen showed a gentle smile, waved his wand and said "fluorescent flash", and the tip of the wand lit up with a bright light.

"Thank you for being able to express your wandering mind in such a fresh and refined way." Blaise curled his lips.

Owen smiled and had no intention of continuing to chat. All his attention was focused on all the people and things in the classroom.

As time passed by, Owen found nothing worth paying attention to. This is obviously different from the past. In the past, abnormalities were often limited to a small area around Irving, and he never needed to deliberately look for them.

There are many ways to solve these abnormal events. A skilled wizard can use magic to restrain or even solve them. Owen can also find the subject that carries the strange things, and then remove them according to his own will, or he can wait for a long or short period of time, and the abnormalities will disappear on their own.

"Is the upgraded anomaly not just limited to me?" Owen habitually rotated the wand in his hand quickly, turning it into a black shadow. "Could it be that it extends to the entire Hogwarts? This It’s even more difficult to solve…”

"If that's the case, everyone... just ask for your blessings." Owen twitched the corner of his mouth, but he was not so anxious anymore. It’s better to have fun alone than to have fun together. It’s time to feel Owen’s love at Hogwarts. Yeah, evil love.

Until the end of this class, no unusual events occurred. Professor Flitwick did not give homework in the first period, and the students rushed out of the classroom talking and laughing.

Daphne walked with Owen and Blaise, but in the end she didn't hold Pansy back. According to Pansy, she was going to have a fateful encounter with Harry and Malfoy...

Their second class was the History of Magic. The ghost professor Binns was a very powerful hypnotist. His monotonous chattering voice made the supposedly interesting historical events sound like a funeral. Throughout the class, even the little wizard who loved learning the most couldn't help but feel sleepy.

Owen, who was already sleepy, listened patiently for a while, but suddenly discovered that Professor Binns' knowledge of the history of magic was actually very profound. His lackluster words often revealed many historical events that were not written in the textbooks. Although these small events will not be used as test points, they can greatly enrich students' historical knowledge.

After realizing this, Owen cheered up and listened with great interest. From time to time, he would raise his hand to ask about the contradiction between Professor Binns' remarks and the textbook, and discuss the different ideas implemented by historical figures throughout their lives. While many young wizards were surprised, Professor Binns was also inspired. Silver White The ghost's body became a lot brighter.

"...That's right, what Hain practiced was never the will of the tribe. He was actually a pioneer..." Professor Binns shook his head and muttered, his voice buzzing like a bee, "Very good question, it seems that you are really thinking carefully about what I said, very good... ten points for Slytherin."

After class was over, Blaise looked at Owen who was packing his things strangely, shrugged and said: "I can guarantee that this must be the first time Professor Binns has given extra points to students. I think you can tell others that you are Professor Binns’ favorite student.”

"Well, the professors at Hogwarts all have something to offer." Owen sighed, "None of them should be underestimated."

His words were questioned by Blaise and Daphne in the next class.

"Are you really sure that every professor has something?" Blaise looked at Professor Quirrell on the podium who was stuttering and reading from the textbook with an arrogant face, wrinkled his nose and said, "He can't even read the textbook well."

"It is said that Professor Quirrell was once an outstanding graduate of Ravenclaw College. How did he become like this?" Daphne also wrinkled her nose in confusion, her beautiful blue eyes full of confusion.

"And it smells like garlic. I dare say the scarf on his head must be stuffed with garlic." Blaise added sarcastically, "I really don't know why Hogwarts would choose such a person. Be a professor. I mean, whether he's a top graduate or not, he's clearly not made to teach."

Owen looked at Professor Quirrell who was holding the textbook and looking timid. He looked like a pale young man. The big purple scarf around his head made his head look bigger.

"It's not a problem with him..." Owen shook his head and said in his mind, "It's a big problem."

Carrying it with me, my grandfather also likes to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, go deep into the enemy camp alone and steal treasures from heavy protection. If you put it in the novel, this is the template for the protagonist. Owen thought wildly.

Come to think of it, Owen doesn't plan to get in touch with Quirrell and Voldemort in depth. His origin itself is the best talisman, and he has no intention of breaking the family tradition.

The Shafik family was a neutral faction in the First Wizarding War, and to put it bluntly, they were just like the outsiders. Although they are happy to see Voldemort's ideas come to fruition, no family members have joined the Death Eaters... Perhaps this is mainly because the Shafiq family has withered away in recent generations and is passed down by a single line. It cannot be like other pure-blooded families. Blood families, like the Rozier family, send one or two people to join the Death Eaters as a bet. Even if they fail, they can cut off their wrists to draw a clear line.

Hedging your bets is originally the survival philosophy of the ancient family. It has nothing to do with good or evil, but only concerns profit and inheritance. A family like the Malfoy family supporting Voldemort is considered an anomaly. It can only be said that Lucius Malfoy, as the sole heir of the Malfoy family at the time, made an irrational decision and it was a huge gamble.

Of course, although the Shafiq family had no one in those days, they secretly paid a lot of money behind their backs. There was a price to pay for choosing neutrality.

I think back when Voldemort's power was at its peak, even Harry Potter's parents were coerced and lured into joining the ranks of Voldemort's followers, let alone those pure-blood families with rich families.

Except for those members of the Order of the Phoenix who resolutely distanced themselves from Voldemort, some pure-blood families who chose to protect their lives had to hide in Europe with their entire families. In order not to offend him, most other families chose to quietly invest money behind his back. Even if Voldemort fails in the end, this kind of thing cannot be investigated and will not be affected. Anyway, most of these families do not reject or even approve of Voldemort's ideas.

It can be said that the Shafiq family is at least one of the supporters behind Voldemort, and there is no reason to deal with them even if he comes back.

Therefore, although Owen understands that Voldemort will inevitably come back in the future, there is no need for him to be close to him, and certainly no need to offend him. This identity is suitable for Irving to grow up steadily.

As for Quirrell in front of me, leave it to Dumbledore and the savior. What does it have to do with Shafiq and me?

"Hmm, why do you feel like you're raising a flag?"

Owen shook his head slightly, putting this strange thought behind him.
