Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 13 Who Changed the Rules of Gringotts

When red-haired George saw the Daily Prophet that his friend Lee had ordered, he came to Harry holding the newspaper.

"Did you do this, Harry? I knew You-Know-Who couldn't defeat you, and certainly not the goblins from Gringotts."

Harry was busy eating a pumpkin pie. He had just been envious of other students who received packages while he had nothing.

But on second thought, this was a good thing. Ever since he followed Hagrid to the Leaky Cauldron, Harry knew how famous he was.

But he really doesn't want this kind of fame.

After he walked out of the dormitory this morning, many people pointed at him along the way, and some people even walked back and forth beside him just to see the scar on his forehead clearly.

And now this tranquility was broken by George.

Harry looked at the front page of the newspaper, which still reported that Gringotts had been robbed by a mysterious wizard.

Harry had heard Ron talk about this on the train. He didn't understand why the Daily Prophet would publish the same thing continuously. Was there nothing important in the wizarding world worth recording?

Looking in the direction of George's finger, a big headline appeared on the second page of the newspaper.

Gringotts' Millennium Rule Change: It Was Actually Because of the New Student at Hogwarts

Gringotts no longer accepted Muggle pennies, and Harry knew it couldn't possibly be him, since Uncle Vernon would never give him a penny.

After he went to Gringotts, Harry knew that he would no longer have to worry about money in the wizarding world.

“It’s not me. I don’t have it.”

Fred also came over at this time and patted his shoulder excitedly.

"Don't be modest, Harry. You're a famous person now, and those goblins are not popular to begin with."

Harry didn't know how to explain it, he really resented being famous now.

"Okay, you two, the freshmen are going to class, don't disturb them." Percy's voice came from the other end of the table.

"Oh, isn't this Prefect Percy!"

"Yes, I will follow the instructions of the prefect."

George and Fred left with a smile, while Percy, with a grim face, led the freshmen to the History of Magic classroom.

"Harry, is it really not you?" Ron was now a little doubtful.

"of course not!"

Moon cherished this opportunity to learn magic very much. Even though the professor's voice on the stage was very hypnotic, he listened very carefully.

Professor Binns should be the oldest professor at Hogwarts, of course this has to take into account his age and ghost age.

Perhaps it was because the professor was too old when he turned into a ghost, which caused him to speak with the heavy breathing of an old man now.

It is precisely this white noise effect that makes the whole class enjoyable.

Moon looked around and found that only Hermione could hold on.

"Magic was first recorded by ancient Egyptian wizards around 3000 BC. As for when it originated, it is still unknown."

In the first magical history class, Moon gained a general understanding of the development process of the entire wizarding society.

The first recorded spell appeared in ancient Egypt around 3000 BC. (This was discovered by Gringotts)

Wizards at that time paid great attention to spells and curses, and even used magic on huge tombs built after death.

Later, magic spread out of Egypt, and wizards in Europe discovered that with the help of some media, they could not only enhance the wizard's strength, but also increase the speed and power of casting spells.

Thus, all kinds of strange magic media were born, from meteorites to scepters, from dance to gestures, from animals to trees. Magic media have undergone thousands of years of evolution.

It was not until 382 BC that the Ollivander family began to make wands. Since then, wands have gradually replaced other items and become the most important spellcasting medium for European wizards.

In just the first class, Moon knew the vastness of the magical world, and this knowledge even helped him expand the world map in his mind.

It turns out that there is not only Britain here, but also Egypt, Arabia, France, the Mediterranean
The homework that Professor Binns left after the first class was to preview the magic writings of ancient Egypt.

When Professor Binns mentioned homework, most of the sleepers in class instantly woke up, which made Moon feel that the words "homework" were more effective than the alarm clock he had found. After class, he went to the Great Hall to eat with everyone. The whole time, Hermione kept staring at him, which made Moon lose his desire to appreciate the food for the first time.

Moon now feels that Hermione can definitely take over Percy's position as prefect in the fifth grade.

She takes school rules too seriously.

It wasn't until Moon left the hall early with the food that Hermione felt a little relieved. She really didn't want Gryffindor to be deducted points on the first day of school.

There is plenty of break time at noon. After class at 11 o'clock, there will be another herbal medicine class until o'clock in the afternoon.

While everyone was eating, Moon took some bread back to the dormitory. He wanted to give some private instructions to Bongbong.

"You'll see Professor McGonagall soon, so don't take anything from her, okay?" Moon tore off a small piece of bread and handed it to Bongbong, looking extremely serious.

"唧~"

"No buts. If you really take it, I will have no choice but to release you into the Forbidden Forest, where there are more than a dozen big black dogs."

"Haw!"

"It doesn't matter if you can dig holes, the big black dog can."

Moon didn't know how to persuade Bongbong to give up his collecting habit this time. He was about to say that big black dogs can also dig holes, but his eyes swept over Banban who was sleeping on Ron's bed.

"There are still a hundred big gray rats like Scabbers in the Forbidden Forest!"

"Haw?"

Bengbeng's little eyes widened. He tilted his head to look at the sleeping Banban, and then at Moon.

"Of course it's true, and they fight very well."

Bongbong must have believed it, because he refused to eat the bread that was handed to his mouth.

"Ha!"

"Okay, it's a deal. Let's go see Professor McGonagall first and then have some bread when we come back."

Professor McGonagall's office is on the second floor of the teaching building. The space here is not very large, and many books are neatly placed on the two bookshelves.

"You mean this Niffler is your pet?"

Mag's eyes were very serious, and her gaze was fixed on Niffler who was standing on the desk.

"It's not exactly a pet, Professor, it's my best friend."

Moon's eyes were full of pleading. He had been in this strange world for three months, and the one who had accompanied him the most was Bengbeng. If he let it leave at this time, he would be very reluctant.

"The admission letter clearly states that you can bring an owl, cat, or toad, but magical creatures like the Niffler are not included."

Mag's eyes grew serious, and then she caught sight of the thread ends on Moon's old robes. She sighed helplessly.

"Well, if this Niffler can refrain from stealing, uh, you know, taking other students' valuables, then I'll allow him to be in the castle."

"It's OK, Professor. Look, it's very stable now. It's not moving at all."

Moon seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, pointing at Bengbeng and speaking excitedly.

"Really? This needs to be verified." McGonagall said as she pulled out her wand from her sleeve and waved it.

"The trophy is flying."

A platinum trophy with a red, white and blue ribbon flew from the bookshelf into Professor McGonagall's hands.

There is also a sentence engraved on the base of the trophy: The Most Promising Newcomer Award in Contemporary Transfiguration.

Professor McGonagall placed the trophy on the desk. The sunlight shone through the window, making the trophy, which had already been wiped very clean, emit a dazzling light.

Creak~
Creak~
There was a slight friction between Bengbeng's little paws and the desk.
