Hogwarts Wandering Wizard

Eric's "explanation" made Hector Foley laugh loudly, but he did not linger for a long time. He quickly left with the team of batters on the excuse that he was busy. Eric then I also learned from Diggory that since his grandfather was ousted from power, he still used the shadow of the Welfare family to sneak into the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Although he has only obtained a small leadership position in the Auror Office, Eric knew that a few years later, when Grindelwald was defeated by Dumbledore, he would easily return to the center of the political arena.

Registration of the wand's trace is actually very simple. Digory just took Eric to the second floor and walked around, filled in his name in the guarantor column, and then brought a piece of paper. He handed it to Eric, and then told him that the new hornbeam wand had been authorized by the Ministry of Magic, and no one would look at it anymore.

"Although I don't know what your time travel mission is, but please be safe!"

When Digory took Eric back to the street outside, he shook hands with him earnestly and put on his hat again: "Well, goodbye, Eric."

After the old professor finished speaking, he smiled at him, apparated and left with a snap.

His departure did not attract the attention of the surrounding Muggles, but Eric, who was dressed like a young master from a wealthy family, attracted the attention of the surrounding police.

But when he said that his home was on the street around the corner, the police around him finally dispersed, leaving only a young policeman to send him home. Eric had no choice but to quietly talk to him. He cast a confusion spell and then apparated away while he wasn't paying attention.

"Huh? Where is the child?"

The young policeman took off his hat in confusion and reached out to grab a passing young man wearing a woolen trench coat, curly brown hair and freckles on his face: "Sir, you just saw a child wearing a black trench coat. Have you gone?"

The young man was holding an old suitcase in his hand and was suddenly pulled over by someone on the street. He was a little panicked for a moment. He turned his head several times to avoid the police's gaze. He shook his head and whispered back: "I didn't see it." What child... hmm? A child so young could Apparate?"

As soon as he answered the policeman's question, he used Legilimency to absorb the memory in the policeman's mind. He also saw the distorted and disappearing figure of the child in the corner of the policeman's eye. He met the policeman's gaze again in surprise and continued to use Legilimency. I want to find out about the child.

But when the policeman saw his strange appearance, he suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart, and immediately warned the young man in front of him: "Hey, you..."

"Forget everything~"

Before he could warn him, he saw the young man in front of him pull out a wand from the sleeve of his navy blue woolen windbreaker and cast a forgetting spell on him.

When the policeman finally came to his senses, he looked blankly at the crowds of people around him, rubbed his hair in confusion, and asked himself: "What am I doing standing here?"

The young man who put the wand into his sleeve again phantomed himself at the child's residential address that he had just found out from the police's mind. Looking at the bombed-out house on the corner, he had a puzzled look on his face: " No, this place has been blown up by Muggle planes, how could anyone live here?"

"A child who looks to be twelve or thirteen years old has the incredible ability to apparate. Could this be Grindelwald's secret weapon?"

He pondered for a while and looked in a certain direction: "Do you want to remind Dumbledore?"

……

The destination of Eric's apparation was not somewhere else, but directly around the Hogwarts school.

Although Grindelwald is feared on the European battlefield, what is strange is that he has never actively invaded Britain, let alone launched any crazy attack on the famous magic school Hogwarts.

Of course, it may be more because in this school, there is his beloved friend, Albus Dumbledore.

Eric looked at Hogwarts Castle in the distance and apparated to a corner outside the castle again.

After obtaining Gryffindor's bracers, he could easily apparate to any location. Even the anti-apparition spell jointly cast by the four giants would not have any effect on him.

The first time he walked into this school from decades ago, Eric felt a strange feeling of tension in his heart, and then shook his head to dispel it.

There's nothing to be nervous about, I'm originally a student at Hogwarts.

Pointing the hornwood wand at the trench coat, the cool black trench coat immediately turned into the Hogwarts school uniform, and a Gryffindor lion emblem appeared on the heart.

"Jingle bell~"

It seemed that the bell had just rang, and the quiet school castle suddenly became noisy. Countless children rushed out of various classrooms excitedly, throwing their schoolbags on their shoulders in a hurry.

Eric also stepped into the foyer, joined the students who rushed out of the underground classroom, walked upstairs, and listened to them discuss the details of the class just now.

Among the many voices, a voice penetrated his ears and attracted his attention.Eric looked up and saw a group of students wearing Slytherin uniforms coming down the stairs. From the "Intermediate Transfiguration" they held in their hands, it could be distinguished that they should be in the third or fourth grade.

"...It's incredible. It turns out that humans can transform into other creatures. Do you think Professor Dumbledore can be an Animagus?"

"Ned, your question is nonsense. With Professor Dumbledore's magic power, wouldn't it be easy to become an Animagus?"

"Frank, tell me, what is Professor Dumbledore's Animagus?"

"This...I guess it's a phoenix. Doesn't Professor Dumbledore have a phoenix? Tom, what do you think?"

The handsome and gloomy boy surrounded by several people was silent for a while, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, revealing a touch of contempt and disdain: "Frank, no matter how powerful the wizard is, his Animagus form cannot be..." Magical creatures.”

"However, I don't know about Professor Dumbledore's Animagus. Otherwise, we can ask during the next class."

Several people in Slytherin smiled one after another and put their arms around each other's shoulders. Eric could clearly see that when the gloomy boy who spoke last was put around his shoulders, a flash of light flashed across his face. of impatience.

Eric thought for a moment and stepped in front of the students.

The Slytherin students were suddenly stopped by Eric. They were all startled and stopped quickly, but they still bumped into each other. The leader of the gloomy boy frowned slightly, Then he looked at the Gryffindor medal on Eric's chest, with a kind smile on his face: "This Gryffindor junior, is there anything wrong with you stopping us?"

Eric nodded and looked at the gloomy boy: "I would like to ask which floor Professor Albus Dumbledore's office is on. I have something small to ask him about."

"Aren't you a Gryffindor student? How come you don't know your Dean's office? Are you a freshman?"

A Slytherin student with long blond hair asked in surprise.

The gloomy boy looked at the junior in front of him and nodded, smiled, and pointed to the way they came: "Professor Dumbledore's office is on the second floor. After you go up, turn right and walk to the third cross. When you exit, turn right, then walk to the second corridor and turn left, which is your dean’s office.”

Eric recalled that it seemed to be the location of Professor McGonagall's office. Then he nodded to the boy in front of him and said, "Okay, thank you. I wonder what your name is?"

The boy smiled and called to his companions to leave together: "Call me Tom, my name is Tom Riddle."
