Chapter 13 Gryffindor
After a sumptuous dinner, when people put down their tableware, the plates became empty, replaced by various puddings, cream cakes, ice cream and other desserts. When Al was a child, Mr. Al never let him eat more. It’s not good to have straight teeth! In Fanlin's eyes, these desserts in front of him are simply too satisfying!
"Slow down, Fan Lin, no one will compete with you!" Hermione looked at Fan Lin, a foodie, with a funny look on her face.
After having enough wine and food, the little wizards all began to introduce the situation at home!
"I am a mixed-race, my father is a Muggle, and my mother is a witch. When my father found out my mother's identity, he was almost scared to death!" This is what Seamus was saying about his family.
Everyone laughed!
With the encouragement of Hermione and Al, Neville bravely told the story of how he was forced by his Uncle Sabani to show off his magic talent when he was a child. The lively atmosphere reached its climax!
"Fan Lin, you must be born into some kind of family. You have learned all kinds of magic since you were a child. The coma spell you just did was simply too handsome!" Harry was very curious about Al, but he didn't expect that the white mark written in front of him was, And there are some weak little boys who actually have such powerful magic and can release such powerful magic!
"Um..." Fan Lin put down the ice cream in his hand with an embarrassed look, "Well, I actually come from an ordinary family. Maybe my mother is a wizard. Anyway, there are many magic books at home. I have liked reading books since I was a child. I learned a little bit. It’s nothing!”
Fan Lin said modestly that as for the increase in magic power, Fan Lin didn't know what was going on. At first, he thought it was normal. But when he came to Hogwarts, Fan Lin found that compared to the first-year wizard , Fanlin's strength is much higher!
Hermione was obviously very concerned about Fan Lin's answer, but when she heard that Fan Lin also came from a completely ordinary family, Hermione suddenly felt that Al was much more pleasing to the eye.
"Oh, what about your mother?" Harry asked suddenly. It seemed like he thought of something again.
"Sorry, Fanlin, but I admire you very much for starting to learn magic by yourself at such a young age." Harry obviously thought of something, apologized, and stopped talking. Hermione glanced at Fan Lin worriedly!
"It's okay, Harry!" Fan Lin smiled softly, indicating that he was not sad! Picked up the ice cream on the table and continued to eat happily!
The banquet lasted for a long time, and at the end, Dumbledore led everyone to sing the Hogwarts school song. The Weasley brothers were especially cooperative, and there was a burst of howling, Fan Lin said. This is really torturous!
You can’t imagine that everyone is singing the same lyrics, but the songs come out with seven or eight tunes...
"The first-year Gryffindors must gather here." At the end of the banquet, Percy shouted loudly at the door, beckoning the little wizards to follow him!
"You have to remember these roads. The stairs and corridors will change directions at any time!" Percy said the precautions to the new little wizards while leading the way. When they turned to a tower, a door made of murals was revealed in front of everyone!
"Password."
"Dragon Scum!" The woman in the portrait raised her hand, and the door opened. Now Fan Lin is no longer unfamiliar with these, the murals that can move and talk, the almost headless Nick, the bloody Barrow, and various forms The unknown ghosts, now Al just wants to take a good rest to digest all the things today, as well as the dessert that he just ate at the banquet!
"Okay, everyone, stop here!" Percy pressed his palm down to signal everyone to stop!
"This is the Gryffindor common room. This will also be your home for the next seven years. The regulations of the Gryffindor common room are posted on the notice board. You can go and take a look when it is dismissed. First Year The dormitory for freshmen boys is on the right side of the stairs on the third floor, and the dormitory for girls is on the fourth floor! Okay, your luggage has been placed on your corresponding bed. You can go and pack it. Now, dismiss!" Percy clapped his hands. , indicating that everyone can go to rest, then turned around and went upstairs!
All the little wizards seemed to have exhausted their strength and quietly dispersed back to their respective rooms. After a while, the only thing left in the Gryffindor common room was the fireplace burning and crackling!
After saying good night to Hermione in a hurry, Fan Lin couldn't wait to run back to the dormitory, packed his luggage, and lay on the bed, but he couldn't fall asleep! Everything that happened today greatly stimulated Al's nerves. Although he was very tired physically, he just couldn't sleep peacefully. Everything that happened today kept replaying in Fan Lin's mind!
"What a bad luck!" Fan Lin sighed secretly, and carefully pulled out a copy of "Encyclopedia of Magic Potions" from under the bed. Fan Lin planned to read for a while to kill time!
After putting on his coat, Al tiptoed past the sleeping people and closed the door gently. After making sure that no sound was made and no one was disturbed, he returned to the lounge and, by the firelight of the fireplace, Come and conduct his lesson today.
"It's a pity that we lack a piano now." Fan Lin shook his head mockingly, lamenting that he really couldn't be idle!
The moon crossed the eaves and came to the center of the tower. The cold moonlight shone in through the windows. It was already late at night in a blink of an eye! The entire Gryffindor common room was quiet except for a small figure, leaning on the sofa, holding a thick book in his hand and reading!
"Fan Lin?" A call came from the direction of the stairs. Although it was a small volume, it still broke the tranquility of the night.
"Who is it?" Fan Lin turned around suddenly, obviously the sudden sound in the middle of the night startled him!
"It's me, Fanlin, I'm Harry." Harry stepped forward, afraid that Fanlin couldn't see clearly! "I just had a nightmare and couldn't sleep. Then, I found that your bed was empty and the door wasn't completely closed. I thought you might have gone out." Harry said while talking. Fan Lin sat down on the sofa next to him.
"Are you...reading a book?" Harry looked at Fan Lin, who was curled up on the sofa, and said with some uncertainty, because he found a thick book spread out on the coffee table, half of it already read. , but still very thick.
"Oh, "Encyclopedia of Potions," to pass the time. I was a little excited and couldn't sleep, so I came down to do my daily homework." Fan Lin picked up the book on the table and smiled slightly!
"Oh, you work really hard, Fanlin, isn't this our textbook? No wonder your magic power is so strong!" Harry said that I don't understand the world of academic masters!
(I don’t understand either! →_→)
"Oh, it's nothing. You will always learn it. Just think of it as a preview. You said you had a nightmare. What happened?" Fan Lin was now very curious about Harry's nightmare. To be precise, He was very curious about Harry as a person. In his opinion, Harry acted just like him, coming from an ordinary family, and it was the first time he came into contact with magic. Fan Lin doesn't understand why Harry is so famous in the wizarding world!
"Oh, I just dreamed of a dilapidated house, a woman's howl, and a terrifying green light... Then I woke up, and my scar kept hurting!"
Harry lifted the broken hair from his forehead, and a lightning-shaped scar appeared in front of Al! According to Harry, this scar has been there for a long time, but in Fan Lin's opinion, the scar is still red, as if someone had made a new mark with a knife!
"Harry, I don't know yet. I haven't read about those things in books, or that magic can cause such weird scars. But I can check it out for you. Maybe I can help you deal with him. And Or, we can take the time to find Principal Albus Dumbledore, maybe he will know, after all, Principal Dumbledore is such a great white wizard!"
"Oh. I really want to thank you. Also, I want to ask, what happened to your eyes? Are they natural?" Harry responded happily.
"Yes, my eyes are natural. How about it? Do they feel weird?"
"Oh, no, not really!" Harry quickly said, "It's beautiful."
"Thank you!" Fan Lin smiled softly and expressed his gratitude!
As the two of them talked, the moon had climbed over the top of the tower, and the night was already very deep. During this period, Harry and Fanlin talked a lot about what happened to him at 49 Privet Drive, and suddenly found that, He and Fan Lin lived on the same road, and were not very far apart.
Then the two met and invited each other to be guests during the holidays! They talked a lot about Hogwarts and their childhood. Before they knew it, the fire in the fireplace had burned out, leaving only a few sporadic firelights.
