The man behind Hogwarts

Time flies by, and in a blink of an eye, the Christmas vacation is over.

It's still platform nine and three-quarters, it's still the Hogwarts Express. But the students in the car now are not freshmen, but little wizards returning to school after Christmas.

"William!"

In the train passage, a long-haired wizard stretched out his hand to say hello.

Beside him, there were several wizards surrounding him, some were fat and some were thin, but they all had the same characteristics, and they all looked arrogant.

But when they saw William, several people showed harmonious and enthusiastic smiles.

"Fran, what a coincidence." William stepped forward, gave him a big hug, and then casually greeted Henry and Jim.

"William, please take this carriage, we are all our own people."

"Row."

Entering the carriage, there were exactly four people, and the remaining Slytherins entered the carriage next to them.

The other little wizards in the corridor were not surprised to see this scene.

As a Ravenclaw, William was able to easily get along with the second-year Slytherins, and most of the students at Hogwarts adapted to it.

Not just Slytherin, William seemed to have friends in all houses.

"William, don't waste your time this Christmas. I'm ready to defeat you in this competition."

As soon as he sat down, Fran confidently announced that he would defeat William in the club's thesis project.

He didn't have much fun during the entire Christmas vacation because of this thesis.

Henry smiled and said: "Yes, I can testify. Fran didn't play this Christmas and spent all day studying his thesis."

"Really……"

Opening a book, William smiled casually.

I have won many times in a row, and it’s time to let Fran and the others take the spotlight again. It’s time to let go...

But Fran will probably be disappointed this time.

Even if he won the essay contest, he would probably feel uncomfortable... because William had already finished his essay about the sunband.

The article did not mention specific alchemy methods, but focused on describing the functions, experimental results, value, and sales stores...

Unsurprisingly, once this article is published, it will shock the entire wizarding world.

"Fran, your competitor this time should be Cedric."

"why?"

"His parents were traveling abroad, so Cedric didn't come home this Christmas for two whole weeks, and he certainly didn't waste his time."

Fran was shocked when he heard this and immediately regarded Cedric as his enemy.

"By the way, starting next month, can Ian and the others participate in our thesis project?"

"Well, it's okay, but it depends on their own wishes."

"Great!" Fran applauded, "Ian has wanted to participate for a long time. After I showed him the club's previous paper topics, he directly chose a few topics to study."

"So enthusiastic?"

Turning the book to the middle page, several faces appeared in William's mind.

Ariel Benchou, female, second year Ravenclaw.

Ian James, male, third-year Slytherin.

Trina Grace, female, third year Hufflepuff.

The three are new members of the club's last expansion and are now reserve members of the club.

New members have joined, and William was thinking about what means to use to subdue a few people, especially two of them were third-year students, so they must be a little arrogant.

Just in time, the article about sun bracelets appeared.

Is there anything more suitable than this...

"Have you communicated with Ariel?" William asked.

"I said a few words occasionally, what happened?" Fran asked.

He and Ariel are at the same level, and with the bonus of being members of the club together, their relationship is not unfamiliar.

William shook his head and changed the subject casually.

When he mentioned Ariel, he thought of the literary work "When the Wizard Stars Shine" that Ariel had read to him before. At that time, he gave her some suggestions and wondered how she was currently progressing...

After arriving at Hogsmeade Station, several people separated inside the station.

Fran and other second-year students entered the school in the same way as when the school year began. They turned left onto the main road and took the Thestral to reach the gate of Hogwarts.

First graders are already on board.

"Hagrid, you'd better pick us up." William greeted Hagrid warmly.

"Yes, I come here twice every year. This year is the first time. Next time William, you won't take the boat."

Holding an oil lamp, Hagrid was still wearing a moleskin coat. Fortunately, he knew the cleaning technique, otherwise the fur coat would have been shiny with oil.

"William, when you are in second grade, you can ride the Thestral carriage into the school...those little animals are quite cute.

The premise is that you can see the Thestral. "

As he said this, Hagrid laughed happily.

Only those who have faced death can see Thestrals. William should...

and many more.

Hagrid suddenly remembered the scene when he went to give William an orientation...

"I was wrong William, you must be able to see the Thestral." Hagrid nodded firmly, "One more thing, Aragog said he has something to ask you, and asked you to find him after you return to school."

Things about Aragog...

This month's Venom collection is definitely complete.

William said "Okay" casually. It seemed that Aragog didn't delay. He said it was a month.

William decided to go find him tonight and deliver the venom to Laura as soon as possible. He still owed her two pints.

Enter the castle by boat and enter the auditorium.

The auditorium was brightly lit, but Headmaster Dumbledore was not there. Not only was he not present, but other teachers and professors were also not present. Only Professor McGonagall was in charge.

Hogwarts only has two or three big banquets a year, but they don't include the Christmas break back to school.

Professor McGonagall stood on the podium, just like she stood at the opening ceremony.

"First of all, welcome everyone back to school safely. I hope you have a happy and fulfilling Christmas break."

"Secondly, after entering school, you should stop having fun and devote yourself to studying, especially the fifth and seventh grade students. You will next face the ordinary wizard level examination and the ultimate wizard examination. I don't want to see your The report card is all P, even D.”

"The first and second grade students can't relax either. You will be taking elective courses soon. The time is very tight and you need to invest more energy..."

"Finally, Principal Dumbledore asked me to tell everyone——"

"Welcome back to Hogwarts!"

boom!

As soon as the words fell, the entire auditorium immediately burst into violent cheers, and some little wizards even threw pieces of bread into the air.

When Professor McGonagall left, the auditorium was even more jubilant.

A sumptuous dinner appeared on the table instantly...

Over the auditorium, countless candles floated in the air, and the candlelight turned into stars all over the sky... The dome of the auditorium was also enchanted at this time, perfectly presenting the scene of the night sky.

Ghosts roam the auditorium...

Headless Jazz Nick emerges from under the table to scare everyone...

Hogwarts is immersed in a sea of ​​joy!
