Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

After teaching Malfoy a lesson, Dean felt very good. In the original book, Draco Malfoy was not a bad guy, but his condescending demeanor still made Dean feel uncomfortable, so he could teach him a lesson openly. For Dean, it was a happy thing.

It would be even more unexpected if Malfoy could stay away from him from now on.

"Restore as before!" Out of caution, Dean used a restoration spell to restore the entire box to its appearance before the fight.

Malfoy, an aristocratic young master, had an appallingly low ability to organize things. If Dean didn't cover it up himself, he was sure that Neville and Seamus would find something was wrong as soon as they came back.

Then Dean bought a lot of weird and magical foods from the passing train saleswoman, such as Bibi's multi-flavor beans, Chuibao Super Bubble Gum, chocolate frogs, pumpkin pie, pot cakes, licorice magic wands, etc., and prepared them. Have lunch with new friends.

However, Seamus and Neville disappeared for an unexpectedly long time, so much so that after noon, even after Dean took a nap, they were still missing.

Just when Dean was wondering whether the two of them would be ambushed by the angry Malfoy leader and were about to go out to look for them, Seamus and Neville walked into the box one after another.

Looking at the two people's beaming faces, it seemed like nothing had happened, so Dean came to the center.

"Dean, do you know? Just now Malfoy and the others were so crazy that they went to find trouble with Harry Potter. Unexpectedly, they were taught a lesson by a pet rat!" Neville was beaming as he recounted his search. What I saw when I was in Leif.

"Pet rat? Ron's?" Dean raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, it's Weasley's one, it seems to be called Scabbers?" Neville said uncertainly.

"Well, that's really embarrassing for them." Dean commented, but actually he had another thought in mind. God knows why Wormtail, who is also a Death Eater, would treat Lucius Malfoy's son like this.

"By the way, I just saw that Malfoy and his two followers had black circles under their eyes, as if they had been beaten." Seamus also shared his knowledge.

"It seems that Malfoy is not very popular." Dean said expressionlessly.

"You deserve it! I can't see how arrogant they are." Seamus didn't notice at all that it was Dean who gave Malfoy a few black circles.

At this moment, a very deliberate coughing sound came from behind Neville, and then Neville belatedly remembered that he had brought someone back with him.

"Sorry." After Neville let the people behind him out, he solemnly introduced to everyone: "This is Hermione Granger. She has been helping me find Leif just now. - These two It’s Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas.”

"Hi, hello." Hermione greeted shyly.

"Hello!" Simo said enthusiastically.

Very thick and disheveled brown hair, a pair of bright brown eyes that flashed with wisdom and aloofness from time to time, and a pair of big front teeth... Is this Hermione?A famous talented woman in the Iron Triangle?Looks very average~

Dean admitted that he was a little disappointed, and after being stunned for a moment, he nodded to Hermione with a stiff expression.

Hermione noticed Dean's strange behavior and snorted dissatisfiedly.

"By the way, Dean. Who do you think we met just now?" Seeing that the atmosphere in the box was a bit awkward, Seamo quickly changed the subject.

"Let me guess, could it be Harry Potter?" Dean said casually.

"Bingo! Correct answer!" Seamus snapped his fingers, "Harry is exactly like the legend, with a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead."

"Well, that's not a good thing." Dean muttered softly. He had read the original work and knew that the scar actually made Harry a Horcrux of Voldemort - obviously, through that scar, Voldemort could fight with Harry has developed a certain connection, which is by no means good news for those who are about to become roommates with Harry.

"Dean, what did you say?" Neville didn't hear Dean's whisper clearly.

"I said it's such a pity that I missed the opportunity to get to know the savior." Dean said half-jokingly.

Hermione stared at Dean sharply, and Dean suddenly panicked. He was not sure whether Hermione heard what he said clearly.

"Mr. Thomas, I don't see any regrets on your part. Maybe you, like me, know everything about Harry Potter, so you're not very interested in him?" Hermione asked quietly, "Are you How many reference books have you read? "History of Modern Magic", "The Rise and Fall of Dark Magic", "Important Magical Events of the Twentieth Century"... There are very detailed records about Harry Potter."

"Miss Granger, how do you see that I'm not interested in Harry? I don't have as much free time as you do to read those reference books." Dean retorted stiffly. He couldn't stand the show-off of Miss Know-It-All. tone.

In Dean's eyes, the superiority that Hermione was trying to show at this moment was so ridiculous. If he wanted to, he could even tell Hermione that she would marry Ron, whom he despised most at the moment. I wonder if Hermione would listen. What kind of expression will it look like after that.

"It's a pity that I still haven't found Leif. It would be great if I could use the flying spell to summon him in one go." Neville said with regret.

For a moment, Dean had the urge to use the Flying Curse to summon Leif. Later, he thought about the fact that in the original book, Leif was in trouble and was thrown away by Neville countless times, but he always returned safely. , Dean gave up this dangerous idea.

This was inconsistent with his plan to keep a low profile, and until Voldemort was completely defeated - at least in the first year, when Voldemort possessed Quirrell - it would be better for Harry, the savior, to draw the spotlight.

"Neville, don't worry. I have a hunch that Leif must be on this train. When we arrive at Hogwarts, he might appear." Dean comforted.

He felt that it would be a good thing to properly reveal that he had a certain prophecy talent, so that when needed in the future, even if he gave appropriate spoilers, it would not make people suspicious.

"Really?" Neville was overjoyed.

"My intuition has always been accurate." Dean said vaguely.

"Dean, do you really have the gift of prophecy?" Seamo asked enviously.

"Maybe, I'm not sure." Dean gave an ambiguous answer.

Hermione said disdainfully: "Prophecy? In my opinion, placing hope in prophecy is the most unreliable thing. In comparison, I think the flying curse is more reliable."

Hermione said, taking out her wand and confirming to Neville: "Neville, if you want, I can try it now."

Neville was a little hesitant when he heard it: "My grandma said that the Flying Curse is a relatively advanced spell, and it is definitely not something that a first-year student can use successfully."

"Oh -" Hermione said in a long tone, "Maybe your grandma doesn't know that there is a kind of person in the world called a genius!"

Dean frowned when he heard this. It seemed to him that Hermione was clearly using this arrogance to cover up her extreme inferiority complex. This was not a good sign. He felt that he should do something to prevent Hermione from being too extreme. further and further down the road.
