Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

#256 - Public lounge (seeking monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

This girl had rare, light blue long hair, with distinct facial features and bright, intelligent eyes.

What surprised Anduin was that after the Sorting Hat announced her placement in Hufflepuff, Tonks' hair suddenly turned yellow, the color representing Hufflepuff.

This startled all the young wizards in the hall, but Tonks seemed oblivious to the surprised looks, then flicked her hair, and its color changed to light pink.

"What's going on?" Anduin asked Vivian beside him curiously. She was more useful than the gossip newspapers in the school. Whenever he wanted to inquire about news in the wizarding world, he would ask Vivian.

"She's a Metamorphmagus, able to freely change her appearance. That's even rarer than an Animagus," Vivian said excitedly upon hearing Anduin's question, and immediately began to explain to him.

"Moreover, compared to her special ability, her mother's experience is even more legendary." Vivian raised her eyebrows at Anduin mysteriously, her meaning couldn't be clearer: 'Want to know? Hurry up and ask me'.

Heh, I'll make you look good when we get back to the common room, Anduin glanced at Vivian speechlessly, then satisfied her desire by asking, "What's so special about her mother? And what about her ability, how does that work compared to her background?"

"Ha, Tonks' mother's story is famous. Her name is Andromeda Tonks, originally a member of the Black family, a sister to that imprisoned Death Eater Bellatrix, and a cousin to Sirius, who betrayed the Potter family."

"The most famous thing about her is that after graduating from Hogwarts, she married Ted Tonks, a Muggle-born wizard, and was subsequently disowned by the Black family. Since then, the Black family has always been ashamed of her."

"But I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Isn't pursuing love a matter of course? As for her ability, I only know that it seems to be innate," Vivian described the story of the Tonks family to Anduin in a few words.

So that's how it is, then she's Sirius's niece. But what about her Metamorphmagus ability? Is it a type of magic that can be learned, or is she just special, with corresponding runes? I really want to study it.

Anduin wasn't very interested in the messy affairs of these pure-blood families, but he was more curious about the ability to change appearances at will.

Judging from Tonks' behavior, she should have a lively personality, maybe I can find a time to get in touch with her.

Although this interlude made the atmosphere in the hall quite noisy, the Sorting Ceremony was completed in an orderly manner under Professor McGonagall's control, and the Welcome Feast began.

Not long after the feast started, Wendy came to his side and handed Anduin a piece of parchment filled with names. It seemed that under Anduin's emphasis, she had completed the assigned task efficiently.

"What's this?" Vivian, who had already put a lamb chop to her mouth, pulled it back and asked curiously.

"Nothing, just a list of first years. I'm a prefect now, didn't you know?" Anduin said speechlessly, looking at Vivian's greasy face.

"But aren't you a fifth-year prefect? Why would Wendy, a sixth-year prefect, come over to give you information?" Vivian's mind was quite sharp, and she quickly noticed something was wrong.

"Heh." Anduin glanced at her with interest, "Guess."

"Tch, stingy." Vivian pouted unhappily and turned her head away, continuing to tackle the lamb chop in her hand, completely unaware of what awaited her.

At this time, Anduin casually glanced at Wendy and Jenny on the long table. After receiving his signal, the two quickly got up and left the hall.

Snape, sitting at the teachers' table, also noticed this scene, which made him feel a little curious. He really wanted to know if his decision to make Anduin a prefect had any effect, but in the following week, Dumbledore sent him off again to search for traces of Death Eaters.

Thinking of this, Snape couldn't help but glance at the old, composed, white-bearded headmaster with resentment.

As time passed, the Welcome Feast came to an end. Louis got up and greeted the students at the Slytherin table, leading them towards the common room.

Anduin followed behind, making sure no one was left behind.

At this time, the Slytherin students were divided into small circles of acquaintances, chatting happily, especially the new students, who were extremely excited.

It wasn't until they entered the common room that these young wizards realized something was wrong.

When they passed through the long, narrow passage and entered the dungeon's main hall, they discovered that all the sofas and chairs in the common room were gone, leaving only an empty stone hall. Even the carpets on the floor had been rolled up and taken away.

After they fully entered the stone hall, they found that all the furniture had been removed and placed on both sides of the corridors leading to the boys' and girls' dormitories.

"What's going on?" A high-grade wizard looked at Louis strangely, "Why are the dormitory passages blocked, aren't we allowed to sleep?"

"This." Louis didn't know how to answer, because Anduin hadn't told them what to do specifically beforehand, just simply gave orders and then let them execute.

"Everyone's here, right? Next, everyone line up by year, with a space of one arm's length between front and back, left and right. Louis, Wendy, Jenny, hurry up and organize, time is limited." Anduin pointed his wand at his throat, casting the Sonorus charm, and the sound echoed deafeningly in the closed room.

Everyone, startled by this sound, was stunned in place for a moment, then stared blankly at Anduin, who was standing at the top of the entrance steps. Even Rozier, Velen, and Vivian looked at him somewhat at a loss.

They didn't understand why this usually low-key battle hero suddenly stood up, and even instructed the prefects in a commanding tone. In fact, everyone now saw clearly that Anduin was wearing a prefect badge on his chest.

Especially those new students who had just experienced the Sorting Ceremony, they were curious, was this some special ceremony within the academy? But seeing the equally confused eyes of the older wizards next to them, it didn't seem like it.

Even more panicked were those former pure-blood wizards in the sixth and seventh grades. They secretly cried out in their hearts, what was this evil star going to do? Was he finally going to attack us? We have been honestly paying protection fees every month.

Seeing everyone's confused look, Anduin frowned, "What are you dawdling about? Hurry up and move, can't you even line up? Do you need to be taught this too?"
