Science students at Hogwarts

"Elrios! Elios!"

Elios was awakened by a violent shaking.

He opened his eyes and looked out the window. It was a dark lake. It was not a familiar scenery. Only then did he realize that he was in Hogwarts.

He struggled to get up from the quilt and asked Draco, "What time is it?"

"Six o'clock."

Elios laid back without hesitation, mumbling something about you being crazy.

"Elrios! Stop sleeping! Look at this!" Draco started shaking him again, and this time he simply pulled the quilt away.

A few minutes later, while Elios was washing up, he listened to Draco's story about how he brought his Gameboy to Hogwarts and wanted to play it for a while, but it broke as soon as he turned it on.

Elios laughed unsympathetically and was told that Draco had brought his game console with him, which he had just written off.

At this moment, Elios thought of the classic question: What should you do if your relative’s naughty child breaks your game console?

The game console is not a rare treasure. If it breaks, buy a new one.It happened that Sega's gamegear went on sale, and the brothers hit it off and asked George to help buy it.

Unexpectedly, George refused. Like all parents, he set academic requirements for their children and would only buy game consoles if they were in the top five in grade.

Draco returned to the common room dejected.Although Slytherin is located at the bottom of the lake, it is insulated from the humidity and cold.Most of the place is dry and cool, the fireplace is always dancing with shining firelight, and the nearby places are warm.

At this time, they were sitting on the couch near the fireplace. Although there was warmth around them, Draco felt extremely cold in his heart.

Elios looked at his frustrated look with amusement, and whispered to him, "What? You still think you can't get into the top five in your grade? I guess you are second in grade, because I am number one."

"I'm number one!" Draco raised his head proudly, glared at his brother angrily, then quickly turned away and whispered, "I broke your game console."

"I know you brought it to school specifically for me, but I didn't expect it would disturb the magnetic field."

Many years later, when the Daily Prophet asked these two brothers who had made great achievements in potions, alchemy, spells, etc. what made them become such outstanding people, they all mentioned this incident invariably.

Let’s leave such a far-reaching impact for later. Currently, Elios is still trapped in the sleepiness caused by getting up early.

The warmth of the fireplace made people drowsy, and Elios lay languidly on the sofa. He finally tasted the bitter fruit of overindulgence during the holidays.

Elios, Elios!How could you be so depraved!Stay up late and sleep until noon before the start of school?Have you forgotten all the plans you made earlier?

Draco was very lively. He asked, "Should we go to the Great Hall to have breakfast? Then go to class. In the morning, we will have Charms class with Ravenclaw."

Elios struggled to open his eyes, "Draco, if you woke me up so early, should you make up for my sleeping time? For example, bring me back a breakfast."

"Morning? Elios, you said you would get up early every day to exercise after school while you were still at home."

Elios covered his face with his hands and said feebly: "As long as I can run a step, I was running beside the Black Lake with my cousin George just now."

"Okay." Draco didn't look surprised. He knew very well how much exercise plan Elios had followed.

He remembered another thing, "I didn't even know Harry Potter was in the same class as us. Do you think we should go to the auditorium and wait for him now? Dad said we should make more friends."

"My uncle mentioned him, not long before school started. Merlin, you are so obsessed with that cat named Tom that you don't care about the outside world at all."

"Cat? Did you buy a cat as a pet?" Pansy's voice came from behind.

Elios immediately sat up straight, "Good morning, Pansy. We didn't buy a pet, we just remembered Crabbe's cat."

"It is indeed a cute little guy." Pansy nodded affirmatively, "Fortunately, it doesn't look like Crabbe, otherwise I wouldn't be able to imagine a cat that looks like an orangutan."

She giggled, not caring that Crabbe was one of the 28 Holy Families.

Elios reluctantly reconciled and asked Pansy if she planned to go to breakfast now.

After receiving a positive answer, Elios stood up resignedly and headed to the auditorium with them.

There were only a few people on the long Slytherin table, mostly fifth-year students, who were whispering about last night's announcement.

The three of them ate breakfast while listening to their conversation.

Pansy stirred the oatmeal unconsciously. When she heard about the rolling snow-capped mountains and majestic glaciers in Northern Europe, the little girl looked at them with a hint of envy, "I am also going to Durmstrang during the holidays this year."

"Durmstrang has the most mysterious school site. No one can be sure where it is. Visitors must use a forgetting spell to erase their memories." A senior student kindly reminded,

"It doesn't matter. You can apply to go to Durmstrang when you are in third grade."

"That's too long!" Draco couldn't help but interject, and Pansy nodded. She was a little disappointed and pushed the bowl away with a bit of anger, "Durmstrang is too cold, I don't like it there at all. ."

"Cousin George graduated from Durmstrang, he must know how to get there. How about we go to Scandinavia together during the summer vacation?" Elios suggested to them in a low voice.

These words cheered up the two children again. They discussed in low voices and laughed from time to time.

A boy wearing glasses walked into the auditorium. The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and then there were whispers. Many people walked past him, then turned back and stared at him.

Elios looked up at the Gryffindor table, and it turned out that the savior who had survived had arrived.

"We should go over and make friends with him. I think he will be happy to have noble friends like us." Pansy looked at Harry with interest.

Draco nodded in agreement and prepared to go to the Gryffindor table.

"He's a Gryffindor. I'm afraid he doesn't want to be friends with us." Elios thought of the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two in the original book and took the precaution in advance.

"No, we have helped many Gryffindor wizards, and many of them are still working for us." Draco stood up and walked towards Gryffindor.

"Hello, I am Draco Malfoy, this is my brother Elios Black, and my friend Pansy Parkinson. Nice to meet you." Draco took the lead in extending his hand to Harry .

The auditorium fell silent, and everyone was looking at this class, no, perhaps the most popular student in the entire school.

Just as Draco expected, Gryffindor did not reject these Slytherins. Most of them smiled and expressed their friendship, and a few students stood up to say hello to them.

Of course, there were some who were hostile, such as Ron, who glared at a few people with dissatisfaction and scratched the pies on the plate with his fork, as if he was scratching their faces.

Yesterday Ron had told Harry at length how annoying Malfoy and Black were, how they made him look embarrassed in front of so many people, not to mention that they were from Slytherin, the home of bad wizards.

But Harry thought that they really wanted to help Ron's brother, not to mention that they had funded so many Muggles.

At the same time, he was also curious about what kind of jobs they provided for marrow wizards. He only knew that one of Ron's brothers was in Gringotts and the other was in a dragon farm.He didn't like either job very much.

Harry had a good impression of them, but considering the mood of his friends around him, he stood up slowly, held Draco's hand, and said in a calm tone: "I am Harry Potter."

Although Harry had acted very coldly, Ron's eyes widened in disbelief, as if Harry had betrayed their friendship.

Draco didn't expect that Harry wouldn't be as enthusiastic as others (mainly children from pure-blood families) after hearing his name. He looked at Weasley next to him and thought about his brother's words.

His enthusiasm subsided a bit and he became polite, "Well, you have just come to the magical world from the Muggle society. You must have a lot of discomforts, right? If you encounter problems, you can ask me for help. The Malfoy family is still in the magical world. It’s a bit thin.”

"You can come to me if you encounter trouble in Muggle society. The Black family has many properties there." Elios suddenly interrupted.

These words were like water entering a frying pan, causing a stir in the auditorium. Soon, due to the reputation of the Black family, everyone became quiet and just looked at Elios in surprise.

Lee Jordan and the Weasley twins shouted: "This is wonderful! It's amazing! In a Muggle industry!"

Draco's expression was surprised at first, and then immediately turned anxious. He lowered his voice, "Are you crazy? How can you say this in public?" Elios shook his head slightly at him, indicating that it was okay.

Compared with them, most of the Slytherins seemed very calm, and Theodore even had an expression like "I knew it, you finally recognized me."

Percy had already arranged his clothes and planned to chat with Malfoy after he finished talking to Harry. When he heard this, he quietly stepped aside.Elios glanced at him casually.

Draco and the others made friends with a few more Gryffindors who were just ready to greet them. Most of them were marrow wizards.Then he left on the grounds that the first class was about to begin.

As soon as they left the auditorium, Pansy said eagerly: "How could you say that?" She threatened the surrounding students with murderous eyes.

"You will be considered a traitor to the pureblood family! Together they will force Black!"

"Pansy, it's nothing. Many pure-blood families have Muggle businesses, otherwise how would those expelled Squibs make a living? Even the Secrecy Law turns a blind eye to this." Elios didn't care.

"I can't explain it to you. Anyway, you shouldn't say this in front of so many people." Pansy bit her lip, a little angry.

Elios knows one thing very well: when a woman gets angry, she must admit her mistake immediately, regardless of her age.

"Yes, listening to what you said, I was indeed reckless just now. I will write to Uncle Lucius soon and ask him to help me. Thanks to you, Pansy, otherwise I wouldn't have realized this. Severity."

Pansy was relieved then, she was a little embarrassed, "Of course, we are best friends." She decided in her heart to write a letter to her father when she went back, asking him to help.

The atmosphere at the Gryffindor table was indeed not so harmonious.

Percy regretted not making friends with Malfoy and the others. Even though the Blacks had a bad reputation now, they had always been one of the most powerful families in the wizarding world.

He was not as comfortable as he was later, and he couldn't help but speak with a bit of resentment. He accused Harry of being too cold.

The twins now have a very good impression of the Slytherin brothers, and they also think Harry is a little cold.

But they hated Percy's condescending and preaching look even more. They all put their arms around Harry's shoulders and shouted in unison:

"Prefect of Gryffindor!"

"Our brother!"

"Now"

“Even ordinary students make friends”

"Is it also within his jurisdiction?"

Percy's face turned red with anger from them, and he sternly told them to go to class. They made faces and ran away laughing.

Ron had gloated since he heard Black reveal his family's Muggle business, "Now it's Black's turn to taste what it's like to be called a 'pure-blood traitor'."

Harry was so unhappy that he thought he had screwed everything up.

Malfoy and the others were scared away by his coldness. They had planned to make friends with him. Elios was ridiculed by others for wanting to help him, and Ron felt that he had betrayed his friendship by befriending Malfoy.

He had been a little absent-minded all day, almost getting stuck on those damn stairs on the way, and he was so distracted in class that he didn't even notice the little wizards who stood on tiptoes to watch him.

It wasn't until he went to bed at night that he made a decision: he would apologize to Draco and the others behind Ron's back, and whether they could become friends or not would depend on God's will.

The first lesson at Hogwarts was easy.

After Professor Snape implemented experimental safety guidelines, the accident rate in the school dropped significantly.

Many professors followed suit, devoting their first lecture to emphasizing safety issues, and Professor Flitwick joined them this year.

However, Charms does not have detailed guidelines like Potions.

Professor Flitwick only briefly talked about some experiences in the first half of the class, and gave some examples of casualties caused by improper use of magic spells, so that the young wizards could learn with a cautious attitude before starting the lecture.

Considering that some young wizards of Muggle origin had never been exposed to magic, he first taught some basic spells in the second half of the class: fluorescent spells, cleaning spells, etc. The successful implementation of these spells greatly enhanced their confidence.

However, children from wizarding families are not so concentrated.

Draco held his face with one hand and waved his wand lazily. Pansy became increasingly impatient. She looked at Goyle who made frequent mistakes, "Damn it! You actually did such a simple spell wrong? You might as well..."

She did not continue speaking, and everyone understood what she meant.

"Pansy! Just say a few words. You don't want Slytherin to lose points on the first day, do you? Goyle, take your time." Elios pulled out his wand and demonstrated, "Swipe up like this, lumos!"

This time Goyle succeeded, and Pansy pouted and turned away.

Sensing their impatience, Flitwick stood on the table and loudly announced that he would teach them something interesting.

Next, he caused the wand to set off fireworks and cast a fun spell to dress Padma Patil in a beautiful dress...

The dazzling operations were an eye-opener for the little wizard. Padma even performed an impromptu Indian classical dance, which caused a sensation.

However, not many little wizards succeeded in these spells, but they were not discouraged. After all, after seeing such an amazing scene, who would be willing to give up?

As get out of class was about to end, Elios discovered that the Fun Spell was somewhat similar to the Funny Spell, and he could change things into what he wanted.

He practiced it a few times before performing it on Draco, wearing a floral hat and bright scarf.Professor Flitwick happily gave Slytherin five points.

Draco didn't feel embarrassed either, he even regarded it as a medal and proudly carried them around.Bragging in the Great Hall is all thanks to them. Slytherin is now number one.

This aroused the curiosity of the whole school, and Gryffindor was the most excited. In the next month, Elios and the others had to avoid interesting spells everywhere.

At noon, Elios used a double-sided mirror to contact Kreacher. He told the elf that the store there had a big order to deal with him directly, so he didn't need to worry about the turnover.

Draco and Kreacher complained that the food at Hogwarts was not as delicious as Kreacher's. This made the elf proud and remorseful. He immediately said that he would make some snacks and send them to them.

In the afternoon, Elios and his team went to the library to complete their magic homework.

Justin and Kevin waved to them, and Justin curiously asked about the interesting spells learned in the Charms class. Elios immediately said that he could teach them, and everyone spent a wonderful afternoon together.
