[Shen Xia + HP] In the name of a detective

The second stop is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft, which Aurora has long admired.

She has been familiar with "Hogwarts, a School History" since she was a child, and she has almost learned about all the architectural structures of the entire castle, and even learned tips for dealing with the constantly moving stairs from the book.

Since it is not the start of the school season, the train from King's Cross Station to Hogwarts is naturally impossible to run, and Hogwarts does not allow apparition, so the two Aurora brothers and sisters can only scatter from the fireplace. Floo fans have gone this way.Fortunately, Aubrey has a good personal relationship with Neville Longbottom, the professor of herbalism there, and there is a connection between the fireplace at Hopes Manor and the fireplace in his office.

After walking out of the fireplace, Aubrey patted the ashes stained on his body, arranged his clothes properly, turned around and stretched out his hand to hold the hand of Aurora who followed him, and pulled her out of the fireplace.

There was a man in his thirties sitting behind a desk, his round face made him look younger than his actual age.He first greeted his former student Aubrey, and then smiled shyly at Aurora behind him, showing his two lovely front teeth.

"This is Professor Longbottom, who has been an assistant teacher of herbalism for the seven years I came to Hogwarts and is also my friend. In the year I left Hogwarts to graduate, he became a full-time herbalist. Professor." Aubrey rapped on the floor with his family cane in one hand, took Aurora with the other, and introduced.

"Professor Longbottom, hello, I'm Aurora Hopps." After greeting Aurora, she hesitated for a moment before adding, "Maybe I shouldn't call myself Hopps anymore, after all I have already disassociated myself from the family, so you can call me Aurora."

"Hello, Aurora. During the seven years as a teaching assistant at Hogwarts, Aubrey often mentioned you to me, and I finally saw you today. I heard about you. You were at 11 When I was young, I dared to run away from home and live in the Muggle world by myself. If I can come to Hogwarts to study, I will definitely be assigned to our house, which is Gryffindor." Professor Neville Longbottom With his round face and his silly smile, he looked full of childishness. He didn't look like a mature man in his 30s at all, but he felt much younger than Aubrey.

"I'm often mentioned?" Aurora obviously didn't expect this to happen, and she couldn't help wondering what Aubrey had said. "Did Aubrey speak ill of me?"

"No...no, Aubrey didn't...didn't speak ill of you." Professor Longbottom saw that Aurora seemed to have misunderstood, and tried his best to defend Aubrey, but he stuttered, making people feel He is quibbling.

Aurora was only joking at first, but she didn't expect Professor Longbottom to be so honest, not only believed her joke, but also seriously defended Aubrey, she felt more and more sorry for not teasing him, so Pretending to be angry: "Okay, Aubrey, I was just talking. Now it seems that you really said something bad about me."

Aubrey didn't even give Aurora a look, he had already seen through her little trick, and didn't know what to do for a while.If he cooperates with Aurora in acting, he will feel sorry for his old friend Neville who wholeheartedly speaks for him.But if she was exposed directly, Aurora would definitely make a fuss, and maybe the next three days' trip would be ruined.

Aubrey cleared his throat, and simply responded in three words: "I didn't."

Answering in this way neither cooperated with Aurora's acting skills to make Neville believe in the scene in front of her more, nor exposed her childish behavior of teasing others.He was just stating a fact.Besides, he didn't need to say anything to prove it. Neville Longbottom was already convinced that he had inadvertently provoked a quarrel between the two siblings.

"Aurora, listen to me, your brother didn't say anything bad about you. He just told me that you ran away from home alone, and he was very worried about the danger of you living alone in the Muggle world. I won’t find a source of income.” Professor Longbottom really thought that Aurora was really angry, and quickly explained to her that he said everything before Aubrey stopped him, including some things that should not be said.

"He also said that because old Mr. Hopps didn't allow it, he couldn't go to the Muggle world to inquire about your whereabouts, and he couldn't guarantee your safety. He also said that he felt that he was useless, and he couldn't even protect his sister. You caused great harm..." Professor Longbottom learned the lesson from last time, and he didn't dare to stutter when explaining, but spoke at a very fast speed, so that Aubrey had no time to stop it.

"Neville..." Aubrey couldn't help but interrupted him who was rambling, and at the same time, he slammed the office floor with his family cane. He felt like he was shooting himself in the foot, regretting that he didn't directly expose it just now. Aurora's trick.

Professor Longbottom just stopped, looked at Aubrey, who was a little bit annoyed, and Aurora, who was standing next to him, talking and laughing, finally understood, and smiled embarrassedly at the man in front of him who was also a student and a friend. .

It was still the kind of silly smile that made Aubrey want to slap him a few times.

Seeing this, Aurora naturally felt that she was too big to play, and hurriedly dragged Aubrey out of the office, while saying to Professor Longbottom: "Goodbye, Professor Longbottom. We probably still need to borrow Your fireplace comes home, and will be back in a moment."

Professor Longbottom shook his head resignedly, taking back what he said earlier, thinking that if Aurora was not a Squib and still came to Hogwarts to study, she would definitely be sorted into Slytherin.

And in the corridor, Aubrey was still walking towards the nearest stairs with a dark face, and Aurora beside him was jokingly asking him, "Aubrey, why didn't I listen to you about those things just now?" Did you mention it?"

Aubrey glanced at her, without any emotion on his face, went straight to the landing and started up the stairs.

Seeing that he was silent, Aurora stuck out her tongue and made a grimace, then jumped up the stairs and quickly ran in front of Aubrey.She glanced back at him, not paying attention to the steps under her feet.A step ahead suddenly disappeared, causing her to almost step on the air and fall.

Fortunately, Aubrey grabbed her in time, and said helplessly, "Lola, can you make people feel relieved?"

"Why don't I make people worry? From the age of 11 to the present, I have been living alone, and I haven't lived well." Aurora protested.

"In my eyes, you are always so worrying, like a child who can't grow up." Aubrey let go of Aurora's arm and pulled her behind him, although after so For many years, I couldn't remember the law of the movement of the Hogwarts stairs, but it was still safer than letting Aurora walk in front.

"It's as if you are much older than me. If I were a child who didn't grow up, you would be a child who was only four years older than a child who couldn't grow up." Aurora retorted very unconvinced However, he still obediently walked behind Aubrey. After all, he only studied "Hogwarts, a School History" when he was a child and was preparing to enter school. After so many years, I have long forgotten those things.

Instead of arguing endlessly with Aurora on this topic, Aubrey said to her: "Now we are going to the Gryffindor tower on the eighth floor, which is divided into the Gryffindor common room, There are three parts: boys’ dormitory and girls’ dormitory, that’s where I lived for seven years.”

Speaking of which, Aubrey's originally deep voice rose slightly, and if Aurora didn't know him well enough, she wouldn't have noticed it at all.It seemed that he still missed his school life, Aurora thought.

"Actually, I've always been curious. Why were you sorted into Gryffindor? I thought you would be sorted into Slytherin according to your personality. Did the sorting hat make a mistake?" Aurora asked puzzled road.

Aubrey pursed his lips, and replied: "Many people have said that I should be sorted into Slytherin, including Neville, who was punished by you just now, and he is now the head of Gryffindor."

As they were talking, they had already reached a door at the end of the corridor. There was a large portrait hanging above the door. Inside the portrait was a fat woman in a pink dress. She was dozing off, and it was obvious that your Arrival woke her up.

"Which kid sneaked back into the common room? You should be taking Professor Binns' History of Magic class right now!" The fat lady yawned and reprimanded dissatisfiedly, "Password?"

"Hello fat lady, I'm Aubrey Hopps, a graduate of Gryffindor in 2008, I don't know if you still remember?" Aubrey bowed to the portrait gentlemanly, and spoke slowly , dragging a long tune.

"Oh, it's you. Aubrey Hopps, I remember, the Slytherin who was sorted into the wrong house." The fat lady immediately recalled Aubrey's name, and her expression was not as impatient as before. But a little more friendliness and teasing.

When Aurora heard the phrase "Slytherin who was sorted into the wrong house", she couldn't help laughing, and kept repeating this sentence.

The fat lady noticed her behind Aubrey, stared at her face for a long time, finally shook her head to express that she had never seen this person, and asked: "This girl is not from Gryffindor. "

"This is my sister." Aubrey introduced, but he didn't dare to say more, for fear that Aurora would be sad because of it.

However, Aurora didn't care about this for a long time, and she directly grabbed Aubrey and said, "Hi Fat Lady, I'm Aurora Hopps. To be precise, I don't belong to any of Hogwarts. College."

The author has something to say:

Have you guys noticed that the cover has been changed?Does it look good?

This is what I finally finalized after I had a low fever yesterday and did several repairs for an hour.Of course, this is not the most tiring part. The key is to ask the URL of the website to get the pictures, but the pictures I made can only be saved locally, and I don’t know how to convert them into URLs.So I tried various methods, and it took longer than making pictures before I finally got it done.

Combining the elements of Shenxia and HP, the background is Hogwarts Castle, as for IAM****LOCKED, you all understand~~

Remember to say that you like the new cover~~ I will be very happy!
