Overturning Hogwarts

Chapter 20 Secret Treasure

"Gryffindor!"

Under the spotlight, when the Sorting Hat on Harry Potter's head shouted this word, Zhang Rui had a sense of déjà vu as if the scene in his dream was reappearing in reality.

As the boy who defeated You-Know-Who, Harry Potter attracted almost everyone's attention.

The Gryffindor table erupted in the loudest cheers, Ravenclaw was a little regretful and clapped blessings, and Slytherin was jealous and resentful and didn't even bother to clap his hands a few times.

Hufflepuff, on the other hand, was looking forward to finishing the meal quickly and starting dinner early - anyway, they already knew that Harry Potter would not be divided.

It was naturally impossible for Zhang Rui to attend the so-called sorting ceremony - his name was not on the list in Professor McGonagall's hand, and he did not dare to let the sorting hat see the thoughts in his mind.

But this didn't stop him from guessing which college he was suitable for, since he couldn't eat in advance anyway.

According to the Sorting Hat, Gryffindor is brave deep in his heart. Malfoy said he is impulsive and reckless. Zhang Rui doesn't know if he is suitable. He is actually quite afraid of death, but sometimes he does some very bold things. Things, such as letting the old Taoist priest pretend to be a Qigong master, such as sneaking into Hogwarts now.

... There are both sincere people in Slytherin, as well as cunning and cunning people who will do anything to achieve their goals. Malfoy said it is the cradle of pure-blood wizards.

Sincerity definitely has nothing to do with Zhang Rui. He has too many secrets now and lies one after another. Moreover, a person who is destined to be a bad guy in the future must not be a sincere person. In order to achieve the purpose of sneaking into Hogwarts, it is true that He used many methods, but he still had a bottom line, otherwise the best way would be to kill a little wizard and pretend to be someone else.

... People from Ravenclaw are shrewd, wise and knowledgeable. Malfoy said they thought they were smart, but they were actually nerds. Zhang Rui thinks that he should be the smart one, but he is not the erudite and fond of reading. He failed several courses when he was in college in his previous life, and he still dreams that he failed again.

If there are parts of the first three houses that fit Zhang Rui, then Hufflepuff's integrity, loyalty, perseverance and honesty, and what Malfoy calls a mediocre job, these things seem to have nothing to do with Zhang Rui.

But Zhang Rui was sitting at the dining table of Hufflepuff College at this time, saying a few words to the little wizards around him from time to time, as if he was very familiar with everyone.

In fact, he didn't recognize any of the people around him, and since he had changed into a blonde wig and took off his sunglasses, these people probably didn't recognize him either.

The reason why it was not exposed by the Hufflepuff students was that Zhang Rui wore a magic robe with the Hufflepuff emblem.

Since he had never been to Diagon Alley, Zhang Rui had his own custom-made magic robe, which was actually slightly different from the little wizards' magic robes.

So after Zhang Rui sneaked into Hufflepuff's lounge, he stole a magic robe that someone else had hung in the dormitory, put it on, and then appeared majestically at Hufflepuff's dining table.

Hufflepuff has a lot of people and is divided into several grades. It is normal to meet people you don't know. In addition, being stoic also means that people don't have that much curiosity, so no one thinks there is anything wrong with Zhang Rui. Anyway, The right clothes and the right person.

……

Except for Harry Potter, Zhang Rui stopped paying attention to the sorting results of others and instead looked at the halls of Hogwarts.

The hall was brightly lit, with countless candles and braziers floating in it. Zhang Rui felt that he had never seen so many candles in his life. It was very luxurious, but there was no electric light.

"It seems that Hogwarts is really closed, and there is no electricity yet." Zhang Rui said with emotion, this is already the 1990s, don't you know how convenient it is to use electricity?

Even if there is magic, there is no fear of catching fire or wasting candles, but if so many are lit at the same time, wouldn’t it be too hot? There is no electric fan yet.

It can only be said that the magical world has its magical places, but it also has its backward and inconvenient places.

……

After the sorting ceremony, Principal Dumbledore told a cold joke that Zhang Rui didn't understand, and the dinner began.

Zhang Rui was so happy when he saw that the empty plate in front of him was filled with all kinds of food in an instant.

This magic is perfect for pretending to be an expert.

I imagined that I was wearing a Taoist robe and receiving wealthy pilgrims. With a wave of my hand, a cup of tea appeared out of thin air in front of the pilgrims. The pilgrims bowed their heads and called them immortals...

"Hey, your mouth is watering! You can eat whatever you want, you're welcome." The people next to him thought Zhang Rui was so greedy that his mouth was watering.

"Chi Liu~" Zhang Rui took a sip of saliva, put his fork at a piece of lamb steak, and started eating.

……

"Tsk~"

Zhang Rui ate some lamb chops and pea shoots, and stopped eating when he felt about seventy to eighty percent full.

As for the beef, he didn't touch it at all.

Because Taoists do not eat beef, dog meat, swan geese and mullet, thinking that they are symbols of loyalty, filial piety and justice.

Dog, loyalty; mullet, filial piety; wild goose, chastity; ox, righteousness.

Zhang Rui actually doesn't really believe in this, nor does he think that these things cannot be eaten, but since he wants to be a Taoist priest, he still has to abide by the rules. After all, he is not a monk.

Looking at the ghosts that were walking in the hall and popping up from the dining table to joke with the little wizards from time to time, Zhang Rui was thinking about how to get one to take back. If there was a ghost that cooperated, he would do it for the rich in the future. The business of removing ghosts is really promising!

First release ghosts to scare people, and then come out to catch ghosts... Don't make money too easily!

I just don’t know what these ghosts like, how to get them to follow me, and I don’t know if burning paper money for them will work... Zhang Rui also thought of a few common Taoist ways to catch ghosts, which he can do when he has time. Try it and it won't work.

The ghost of Hufflepuff was a fat monk. He didn't know why he didn't go to see his god, but stayed in Hogwarts, just looking at him with a smile on his face, which didn't quite meet Zhang Rui's requirements.

The ghost of Gryffindor is Nick, who is almost headless, with only a piece of skin attached to his neck. This would be perfect for pretending to be headless and scary.

Similarly, Slytherin's Bloody Loba, with his empty eyes, thin face, and blood stains on his robes, looked scary and was Zhang Rui's ideal target.

Ravenclaw's is a female ghost. Although she doesn't look scary, there are many legends about female ghosts, which gives Zhang Rui more room to play.

……

After having eaten and drank enough, Zhang Rui wanted to sneak out while everyone was in the lobby to familiarize himself with the terrain. But as soon as he bowed his head and left his seat, he was persuaded to return to his seat by someone who seemed to be a prefect.

When everyone finally finished eating, Dumbledore began to talk about some precautions.

Zhang Rui thinks this is very humane. If it were said before eating, everyone would have eaten the words together with the food.

"...No students are allowed to enter the forest area..."

"...Administrator Filch warns everyone..."

"...Do not enter the corridor on the right on the fourth floor."

But often for some people, the more you remind them not to do something, the more they want to try it.

Zhang Rui secretly noted these down and planned to go take a look when he had time, of course, under the condition of ensuring his own safety.

If it doesn't work, I'll fool a few people to explore the way first, and a candidate quietly emerges in Zhang Rui's mind.

……

Following the large group towards Hufflepuff's underground lounge, Zhang Rui walked slowly at the back of the group, and went in another direction along the corridor while others were not paying attention.

This was a mysterious treasure that he had overheard before. It was of great value to him. If he could successfully obtain it, it would even be worth leaving Hogwarts.
