[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

Although the magical world is not the Garden of Eden imagined by ordinary people, it will make people feel powerless and helpless.But Eli still feels that it is a very good thing to be able to possess magic power and become a wizard.The feeling when you discover that you have magic power is like an ordinary person who is suddenly told that you are a superman one day. Nothing can replace that kind of heartfelt joy. Magic is so magical.

Just like what Penny said in her reply, maybe he can't do everything, but as long as he has a change of mind, people can always create miracles that they can't imagine.Although Eli can't think of any miracles he can create for the time being, he is definitely inspired.

Eli loves Hogwarts and every subject he studies, they are all magical and have their own unique charm.His favorite class would have been History of Magic - if only Professor Binns's lecture format hadn't been so boring.If you look at the course itself and the professor, Charms has undoubtedly become his favorite subject, and his performance in this course is amazing.

"It's really strange that you are not a student of our Ravenclaw?" Professor Flitwick said with emotion.But he didn't lessen his admiration for Eli because he was a Gryffindor. The head of Ravenclaw kindly invited Eli to his office to discuss the magic issues he thought about during his study. .

"Muggle electronics can't be used in the castle, of course. Hogwarts' magical magnetic field is too strong, and it will interfere with the magnetic field of Muggle items, making them unable to function properly."

"Is it a kind of electromagnetic wave? So is magic power?" Eli was thoughtful. Since wizards basically have no understanding and knowledge reserves of electromagnetic waves, he couldn't be sure of his judgment for a while.

Professor Flitwick is a well-learned wizard. He actually knows a little about Eli's views on Muggle academia. After a little thought, he gave an affirmative answer.

"The name of the magnetic field in Muggle theory? Maybe you can say that." He initially agreed with Eli's point of view, and then asked curiously, "Why do you think about this problem? This involves very advanced principles of magic application, you It’s too early to get involved in that.”

"You know, I'm from a mixed-race family, and I've been living among Muggles before." Eli said frankly, his wand outlined a phone in the air, "Professor Flitwick, there is a kind of electronic communication in the Muggle world." The device calls the phone, and as long as you know the other party’s number, you can easily communicate with the other party—very convenient, and you only need to pay a small monthly call fee.”

"Wizards have Floo powder, portkeys, and apparition. Powerful wizards can also send messages to each other through the Patronus." Professor Flitwick shrugged his shoulders and expressed doubts. "Is there any relationship without the phone you are talking about?"

"The threshold for using the phone is much lower." Eli quickly answered him, obviously he had thought about it in private, "It doesn't need strong magic power to support it, and it doesn't require a large number of people to face each other on every occasion. This kind of communication equipment It is convenient and practical, whether it is magic alchemy items or Muggle technological creations, I think the ultimate purpose is to make life more convenient."

Professor Flitwick considered his words carefully.

"It doesn't sound bad," he encouraged. "If you don't limit your target to Hogwarts, it might be much easier to develop elsewhere. Your mixed-race background has obviously opened up your mind - which is a good thing, It is also the meaning that we are still intermarrying with Muggles, we can never make progress if we are still complacent, and we have to learn more possibilities."

Eli smiled and accepted the compliment.Suddenly, I heard Professor Flitwick sigh: "Your school age may be a few years late. If you came to school earlier, someone might be able to chat with you."

"Who?" Eli asked suspiciously.

"Arthur Weasley." Professor Flitwick said, rolling up his extracurricular papers that had been corrected and handing him back, "The Weasley family is one of the oldest and well-known pure-blood wizard families in the wizarding world. But I've never met anyone so fond of Muggle items... almost obsessed. He's now at the Ministry of Magic, with Molly Prewett - now Molly Weasley - Son Bill was just born last year. Although they eloped together, if you ask me, this is a very good couple and they will live happily ever after."

Eli raised his eyebrows.

"Elope?" he asked a little curiously, "Romeo and Juliet in the wizarding world? I mean... the parents of the two parties disagree? Are they pure-blooded or half-blooded? Or are they from a Muggle family?"

"They're all pure blood." Professor Flitwick said simply, "But the Prewett family is relatively close to some families who graduated from Slytherin College, so this relationship has become less optimistic. In these days, It is very common for couples to meet to elope, after all, the current situation is special... It is always important to leave the beauty of the moment."

"What kind of special law?" Eli asked.

Professor Flitwick cleared his throat deliberately, and turned his head to look at the time on the clock on the wall.

"It's not something students should care about," he said, signaling the time to Eli. "It's been so late by accident, the students should go to bed—go back quickly, if you meet Filch on the way , just say that you are making up lessons with me."

All right, professor.Eli was politely ordered to evict, and with a stomach full of unanswered questions, he left Dean Ravenclaw's office a little disappointed.He was preoccupied with something, and his concentration was not that concentrated. He accidentally bumped into something and was bounced back to the wall in the corridor, making a muffled groan.

"Oops...uh, what is—"

"Who's there?" The commotion here seemed to be a little louder, attracting some unwelcome people.Filch's fierce shout suddenly came from a distance, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Eli and the... two heads floating in front of him, with big eyes and small eyes.

James Potter and Sirius Black were looking at him in astonishment, completely expecting to bump into him here.Eli was actually more surprised than they were—he had just come out of the professor's office, and the two heads must have been there for a less legitimate reason than he was.

The sound of Filch's footsteps was getting closer and closer. Eli quickly regained consciousness, stretched out his hand, groped in the air in front of him, and touched the edge of the soft fabric. While the two watched, he silently pulled the fabric up. Put the two floating heads back on.

In less than ten seconds, Filch strode over.Seeing Eli, he showed a triumphant expression.

"Ha! Student!" He said in a nasty voice, "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, do you think it's fun to wander in the corridor?"

"Professor Flitwick asked me to go find him." Eli said, flipping through the book in his hand, and took out the note that Professor Flitwick gave him in the afternoon, "I just came out of the office... Now I plan to go back to the dormitory .”

He handed the note to Filch, walked forward calmly, passed him and then turned, waving in his direction.

Filch stared at his leaving back with an expression as if he had swallowed a fly alive.He was clearly annoyed at the sight of a student wandering around in the middle of the night and not being able to punish him.He looked at the note again and again, disappointed to make sure it wasn't fake, and returned to the office with a cloudy face, muttering something as he walked.

When the sound of his footsteps disappeared completely, James made a sound, and he stabbed Sirius in the ribs.

"Hey, Eli is more interesting than we thought, isn't he? I thought he was a nerd."

"Only you think so." Sirius said, Eli's calm face appeared in front of his eyes.

This gentle, polite, and handsome classmate is quite popular among first-year students in Gryffindor and even the whole school.Everyone who has come into contact with him thinks that he has a good temper and is also funny, not the kind of top student who is obsessed with studying.He added a lot of points to Gryffindor, never hesitated to lend out his homework, was always patient when someone asked him about his homework, and many people had accepted his selfless help.

But it wasn't these that made Sirius notice him, it was his easy way of doing things.Sirius was keenly aware that his classmate seemed to be gentle and easy-talking, but he was actually very assertive, and it was difficult to be persuaded.But he is obviously such a guy with a distinctive personality, but he can maintain a friendly relationship with everyone, and never criticize anyone's different opinions.

Such tact is actually futile, Sirius thought gloomily.Not all conflicts of views can be resolved by seeking common ground while reserving differences. It is unrealistic to expect to live in harmony with everyone.Now that I have clarified my position, I will part ways with others sooner or later. This is not a result that can be changed by ability, but a fate that is doomed at the moment of making a choice.

James was poking him in the ribs again, wondering at his distraction.Sirius withdrew his thoughts, and James said happily in his ear: "How about we go to the place we passed by yesterday, Sirius? Although I didn't find anything yesterday, I always feel that there is a hidden mechanism there. It might be a secret passage! It's so secret, I bet someone like Filch won't find it..."

then go for it.Sirius lazily agreed.The two under the invisibility cloak wandered around Hogwarts Castle at midnight, enjoying unfettered adventure and this moment of freedom.

Because of last night's midnight adventure, James' impression of Eli has changed a lot.In the Potions class the next day, he praised Eli for the potion he handed in, and even booed and suggested that Professor Slughorn give Gryffindor five points.

Professor Slughorn was always kind to his students—perhaps it had something to do with James' surname.In short, he actually generously added points to Gryffindor in the end. Although it was only two points, it also made everyone cheer a little.

Snape on a nearby table looked disgusted.

"When did your relationship with Potter get so good?" He asked Eli angrily, "I thought someone like you should be able to clearly distinguish who is a fool!"

"Relax, Severus, don't mind, you gave Slytherin five points." Eli reassured him.Although he didn't expect James' attitude to change so obviously, but this is not surprising, James is not a difficult person to understand.

Anyway, it's best to skip this topic for now.Eli packed up the cauldron, walked out of the classroom with Lily and Snape, and asked them, "The weekend is the Christmas holiday, are you all going home?"

"Of course!" Lily said with a bright smile, she tiptoed around happily, "I haven't been home for several months, and I can't wait now! What do you think I should bring home? Bibi multi-flavored beans, chocolate frogs, licorice magic sticks..."

Her eyes were shining brightly, and it was obvious that she was falling into a beautiful idea.

"You can also take an error-correcting quill back home. Although it is a bit expensive, it can intuitively reflect the magic of magic." Eli suggested to her, paused, and asked casually, "Your family will come to the station." pick you up?"

He was a little depressed when he wrote the last letter, and he didn't know where the impulse came from, so he invited Petunia to meet at the station, and only after he sent it did he realize that it seemed a bit abrupt.Penny didn't mention it at all in her letter, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Of course!" Lily said happily. "Mom and Dad will go! We agreed!"

"Ah, yeah," Eli said sincerely, "that would be nice."

I don't know if he was infected by Lily's emotions, but his mood suddenly became lighter.

Snape listened to the conversation between the two of them in silence, his face darkened.

"I'd rather not go home," he said darkly.

After these words were spoken, there was an echo miraculously, even the tone was exactly the same.Snape and the other speaker both paused, and looked at each other from afar.

Snape's lips parted in a mocking sneer.

"What, Master Black's petty waywardness in adolescence?" He asked mockingly.

Sirius raised his hand and picked his ears.

"Did you hear anything talking?" he asked James, Lupine and Peter next to him. "Shouldn't there be? Snots obviously can't speak human words."

Okay, okay, it's not necessary to fight this kind of verbal battle.Eli and Lily, one on each side, pulled him away willingly, before Severus could retort.From a distance, the boys could be heard laughing, and James Potter shouting.

"You two! It's helpless to play with the snot man, right? Remember to take a shower and change your clothes when you go back! Don't get dirty!"

"Stupid egotistical Potter!" Lily blushed angrily. "Don't listen to him, Sev!"

Snape didn't speak, and lowered his eyes quietly, the gloom in his eyes was exactly the same as when he mentioned going home just now.As Eli watched him, it became clear for the first time that not every child's home is a safe haven, that life surrounded by loved ones can be torture.

The cold air in the UK continues to rage, and this year's Christmas holiday is extraordinarily cold.On platform nine and three quarters, parents gathered here again after a few months, waiting to pick up their children who went out to study, and the family spent Christmas together.

Irene Snape was more withered and thinner than a few months ago, standing alone at a distance; Mrs. Lupine also came alone, her clothes revealed that her life was not rich, but her expression was steady and gentle.Both Mr. and Mrs. Potter were here, standing together, looking forward to their birth; Kreacher, the little elf of the Black family, was standing at a distance in a clean and tidy pillowcase, with a reluctant expression on his face.

Mr. Evans and Mrs. Evans could not enter platform nine and three-quarters. When wandering outside the passage with their eldest daughter Petunia, they met Mr. and Mrs. Smith who were kind and enthusiastic.Mrs. Smith led the four Muggles into the station alone. When they knew that the family's surname was Evans, the couple exchanged a meaningful look, and both of them showed a bit of narrow understanding.

When Eli got out of the car, he found the two families standing together, which was completely beyond his expectation.Lily, who didn't know Mr. and Mrs. Smith, cheered and ran towards her family, throwing herself into the arms of her parents.Eli pushed his luggage and walked slowly behind her. First, he hugged his parents whom he hadn't seen for several months, then stood up straight and looked at Petunia who was standing aside.

She is still not that beautiful, standing next to the lively and beautiful younger sister, somewhat overshadowed.But this time Eli noticed her pale eyes, her slender figure, and her somewhat pale complexion.She was dressed very formally, with a windbreaker shirt and a ribbon around the neckline, and the soft golden color was hanging down on her chest.

She pursed the corners of her lips a little nervously, and looked at him almost staringly, without speaking, with inexplicable hesitation.Eli found himself feeling a little nervous, for no apparent reason, but he knew clearly that he should speak first.

"See you again, Petunia," he said, with a genuine smile.

"I'm a little nervous right now, anyway... very happy to see you again."
