A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 9 The Shafiq Family

Returning to the real charm class, Owen rubbed the center of his brows, looking a little tired.

But he still managed to keep an eye on his side, clenched his wand vigilantly, trying to find out what might be abnormal.

It wasn't that he was overly vigilant, but an instinctive reaction from years of bad luck.Although the abnormalities that happened around him were not life-threatening, the facts proved that if he didn't want to lose the right to choose a spouse on the first day of school like Harry Potter, he had better be extremely vigilant.

Professor Flitwick had finished explaining the key points of releasing the Illuminating Charm, and was patrolling the classroom with his hands behind his back as the little wizards practiced their spells. The small figure was submerged among the desks that seemed particularly tall to him.

"Fluorescent flashes!"

Blaise whispered something, and a bright white light bloomed from the tip of the wand, the light was steady and dazzling.His expression was lazy, and he didn't seem to be very interested. After all, he was also from a wizard family, and he always practiced spells a few times before entering school.

Amidst the noisy sound of chanting, most of the little wizards in the classroom were able to release the spell successfully.After all, it was the first Charms class, so it wouldn't hurt the little wizards' self-confidence too much.

The bright light flickered on and off in the classroom, making people's eyes hurt.

"Why were you in a daze just now? Professor Flitwick was almost spotted." Blaise glanced at Owen and said in a low voice.

"Well, I'm having a brainstorming session." Owen showed a gentle smile, waved his wand casually and said "Luminescence", and the tip of the wand lit up brightly.

"It's thanks to you that you can express your mind-wandering in such a fresh and refined way." Blaise curled his lips.

Owen smiled, not in the mood to continue chatting, all his attention was focused on all the people and things in the classroom.

As time passed by, Owen did not find anything worth paying attention to.This is obviously different from the past. The anomalies in the past were often limited to a small area around Owen, and he never needed to find them deliberately.

And there are many ways to solve these abnormal events.Smart wizards can use magic to restrain and even solve them. Owen can also find the subject that carries the strange things, and then remove them according to his own will, or wait for a long or short period of time, and the abnormalities will disappear by themselves.

"Is the abnormal situation after the upgrade not only limited to me?" Owen habitually spun the wand in his hand quickly, turning it into a black phantom, "Could it be in the entire Hogwarts? It's even more difficult to solve..."

"If that's the case, everyone... just wish for luck." Owen twitched the corners of his mouth, but he was not so anxious.It's better to be alone than to be happy together. It's time for Hogwarts to feel Owen's love.Mmm, wicked love.

Until the end of this class, no unusual events occurred.Professor Flitwick did not assign homework in the first class, and the students rushed out of the classroom talking and laughing.

Daphne was walking with Owen and Blaise, but she still didn't hold Pansy back.According to what Pansy said, she was going to have a fateful encounter with Harry and Malfoy...

Their second class was the history of magic. The ghost professor Binns was a very powerful hypnotist. His monotonous chattering voice made what should have been quite interesting historical events look like a funeral.In the whole classroom, even the little wizard who loves learning the most can't help but want to fall asleep.

Owen, who was already sleepy, listened patiently for a while, but suddenly discovered that Professor Binns' knowledge of the history of magic is actually very profound, and his lackluster remarks often revealed many historical events that were not written in textbooks.Although these small incidents will not be used as test points, they can greatly enrich the students' historical knowledge.

After realizing this, Owen cheered up and listened with gusto.From time to time, he would raise his hand to ask about the contradictions between Professor Binns' remarks and textbooks, and discuss the different ideas that historical figures have carried out throughout his life. While surprising many young wizards, he also inspired Professor Binns, silver white The body of the phantom has become a lot brighter.

"...That's right, what Hein practiced was never the will of the tribe, he was actually a pioneer..." Professor Binns muttered shaking his head, his voice buzzing like a bee, "Very good question, it looks like you're really thinking about what I'm saying, well... ten points for Slytheringa."

After class was over, Blaise looked at Owen who was packing his things strangely, shrugged and said, "I can guarantee that this is the first time that Professor Binns gave a student extra points. I think you can tell others that you are Professor Binns' favorite student."

"Well, the professors at Hogwarts still have something." Owen said with emotion, "Each of them should not be underestimated."

His words were questioned by Blaise and Daphne in the next class.

"Are you really sure that every professor has something?" Blaise looked arrogantly at Professor Quirrell who was stuttering from the textbook on the podium, and wrinkled his nose, "He can't even read the textbook well."

"It is said that Professor Quirrell was once an outstanding graduate of Ravenclaw College. How did he become like this?" Daphne also wrinkled her nose in wonder, her beautiful blue eyes were full of confusion.

"And it smells like garlic, I dare say the scarf on his head must be stuffed with garlic." Blaise added with a sarcasm, "I really don't know why Hogwarts would choose this kind of person Be a professor. I mean, whether he's a top graduate or not, he's clearly not teaching material."

Owen looked at Professor Quirrell, who was cringing while holding the textbook. He looked like a pale young man, and the big purple scarf around his head made his head look bigger.

"It's not that he has something..." Owen shook his head and said in his heart, "It's a big problem."

He takes his grandfather with him and likes to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and goes deep into the enemy camp alone to steal treasures from the heavy protection. In the novel, this is the template of the protagonist.Owen thought divergently.

After thinking about it, Owen does not intend to get in touch with Quirrell and Voldemort.His own origin itself is the best talisman, and he does not intend to break the family tradition.

The Shafik family belonged to the neutral faction in the First Wizarding War.Although he is happy to see Voldemort's ideas come true, no family members join the Death Eaters... Perhaps this is mainly because the Shafik family has withered and passed on in a single line, and cannot be like other pure The blood family, like the Rozier family, sent one or two people to join the Death Eaters as a bet. Even if they failed, they could cut their wrists and draw a clear line.

Betting on both ends is the survival philosophy of the ancient family. It has nothing to do with good or evil, but only about interests and inheritance.Those who support Voldemort like the Malfoy family can be regarded as outliers. It can only be said that Lucius Malfoy, who was the sole heir of the Malfoy family at the time, made an unreasonable decision, which was a big gamble.

Of course, although the Shafiq family didn't have any people back then, they secretly paid a lot of money behind the scenes, and there was a price to pay for choosing neutrality.

When Voldemort's power reached its peak, even Harry Potter's parents were coerced and lured into joining the ranks of Voldemort's followers, not to mention those pure-blood families with rich families.

Except for those Order of the Phoenix factions who resolutely cut ties with Voldemort, some pure-blood families who chose to protect their lives wisely hid in Europe, and other families chose to invest money behind their backs in order not to offend him.Even if Voldemort fails in the end, this kind of thing cannot be investigated, and it will not be affected. Anyway, most of these families do not reject or even approve of Voldemort's ideas.

It can be said that the Shafiq family is at least one of the supporters behind Voldemort, even if he makes a comeback, there is no reason to deal with them.

Therefore, although Owen understands that Voldemort will inevitably make a comeback in the future, he does not need to be close to him, and of course there is no need to offend him.This identity is just right for Owen to grow up steadily.

As for Quirrell in front of me, leave it to Dumbledore and the savior, what does it have to do with Shafik?
"Well, why do you feel like you're setting a flag?"

Owen shook his head slightly, and put this weird thought behind him.
