Chapter 7： Enrollment begins

After returning from Diagon Alley, there are still 2 months before school starts.

Xie Lin has already memorized a huge amount of magic spells and potion knowledge by heart. Now that he has a wand and a cauldron, he can start to practice casting spells and refining potions. All he needs is to transform the knowledge in his mind into practical skills through repeated practice. Schelling practiced every mantra he knew every day, until every mantra could be commanded by an arm and had the proficiency he wanted. Mr. Orivand is right. This magic wand is indeed very compatible with Schelling. When held in the hand, the magic power on the body seems to be in harmony with the magic wand. No matter what kind of magic is cast, it feels handy and smooth. It is worth mentioning that Xie Lin secretly discovered that this wand seemed to have an amplifying effect when casting black magic, and the power of black magic he casts was often stronger than other spells.

Two weeks later, Schelling happily received the wizard's robe from Mrs. Morkin. He looked at it a few times with love before putting it in the luggage to be brought to Hogwarts.

Time soon came to September 1st.

The Malfoys came to King's Cross Station. After passing through platform nine and three-quarters, Schelling saw a crimson steam locomotive parked by the platform, and the sign on the train read: Hogwarts Express, 11 o'clock. The thick smoke of the steam locomotive hovered over the noisy crowd, cats of various colors were pierced under people's feet, and owls screamed harshly. There are so many people here, some are saying goodbye to their children, and some are exchanging their thoughts about the holidays.

The two brothers bid farewell to their dissatisfied parents and boarded the Hogwarts Express.

Schelling and Draco shared a box, Schelling took out today’s Daily Prophet, and when they were about to read it carefully, Crabbe and Gore also ran in, "Draco, Schelling, do you know? "" They both said excitedly, "Potter, Harry Potter, he is also in this car, and it's spread all over the train."

"Hmph, I knew about it a month ago." Draco felt that he wanted to maintain his eldest brother's aura. "I met him in Diagon Alley a month ago. Since you said that, I will take you to meet him. Let's go together, Xie Lin?"

Four children walked in the aisle, Crabbe and Gore stood behind like two bodyguards. Seeing Draco arrogantly next to him, Schelling felt as if Draco was taking his little brother to find something.

When he walked to a compartment, "This is it," Gore said. Draco opened the door immediately. Harry Potter was sitting inside. Sitting across from him was a red-haired boy with freckles, tall and thin, with a stain on his nose, and Schelling recognized Ron.

"Hey, Harry, how was your summer vacation?" Draco asked loudly, "The people in the car are saying you are sitting here."

"Hmm, it's okay." Harry said in a vague way. He had learned something from Hagrid and thought that the Malfoys were all sinister and cunning bad guys. It's better to have less contact.

But Draco didn't notice Harry's abnormality at all, and he said to himself: "This is Crabbe, this is Gore, and they really want to know you." Finally, Draco also noticed the side. The red-haired boy raised his eyebrows, "I guess you must be a child from the Weasley family. My dad said that your family is all red-haired, and there are so many children—"

Schelling coughed slightly, and Draco suddenly stopped. Schelling looked at Ron who was flushed and said, "Hello, this is Schelling Malfoy. This is my brother Draco. He just The words are not intentional, I apologize to you on his behalf."

It's a pity that the bad impression has been planted, and neither Harry nor Ron's face looks good at the moment.

Just at this moment, a little girl also walked to the cubicle door, followed by a round-faced little boy, showing a little cringe. "Did any of you see a toad? Neville lost a toad." The little girl has a long, thick brown hair and a pair of front teeth. Min.

Schelling said, "I've heard of you, Neville, are you from the Longbottom family? Your parents are both great Aurors. My name is Schelling Malfoy, and this is my brother Draco."

"Really?" Neville, who had been bowing his head, suddenly raised his head, with a different kind of light in his eyes. It was the first time he heard a positive evaluation of him, even if it was only to his parents.

Schelling continued: "I didn't see your toad, but I think I can find it for you."

Hermione showed a curious expression, "How are you going to find it out?"

Xie Lin gave a confident smile, took out his magic wand, and whispered, "Navel’s toad is flying here."

After a while, a toad flew in from the window.

"River!" Neville stretched out his hands to protect the flying toad, exclaiming ecstatically.

Hermione widened her eyes and said, "This is a flying curse? Why does a toad fly in from the window?"

"The toad just flew from another carriage." Schelling said to Neville sideways, "If you don't want to lose it again, you'd better put it in a cage."

After finishing speaking, Schelling saw that Draco was unhappy with Harry and Ron, so he took Draco away.

Active Draco was unwilling to be lonely, and went to the carriages of Gore, Crabbe and others to meet some other freshmen. Xie Lin went back to the box alone, took out the sandwiches and newspaper, and ate and read it leisurely. Suddenly the box door was opened again, and two tall blonde girls walked in. The girl standing in the front quickly scanned Schelling with a look like a scrutiny, and then walked into the car, and the one behind quickly followed .

Xie Lin didn't know them, but Xie Lin, who was observant, recognized their origins from the family crests on their robes. The girl who stepped into the carriage was from the Greengrass family, and the girl who followed was from the Shafik family. Both of them came from the Holy 28 pure blood family as well as themselves. There is very little mention of these two families in the original book. The Greengrass family is more impressive is Draco’s future wife Astoria Greengrass. The women of this family have been inherited from generation to generation because they were planted. Most of the blood is cursed and most of them do not live long. In the original book, Astoria passed away at the age of 37. Bloodline Curse is a very advanced and rare type of curse magic. It can plant a curse on the bloodline of a family. The descendants of all families have a certain chance to activate the curse. There are many types of curses. Some will reduce the life span of people, while others will It's unlucky for people, and some people turn into beasts in the end. Unless the blood is cut off, or an anti-curse is found to break the curse, the curse will be passed on forever in future generations. In addition to the Greengrass family, the only known host of the blood curse (Maledictus) in the wizarding world is the giant snake Nagini that surrounds Voldemort after he returns, the blood curse that Nagini bears and the Greengrass family It is not the same. Although it will not die prematurely because of the loss of lifespan, it irreversibly mutates into a giant snake.

Schelling searched for some memory, and the Shafik family did not leave a record in the original work, but he read the rich collections of Malfoy and Blake, and his understanding of the magical world has long surpassed the original readers of the previous life. It is mentioned in the book "Born and Noble: Genealogy of Wizards" that the Shafik family is inherited from Merlin’s mortal enemy and the half-sister of King Arthur, a branch of the black witch Morgan Leffey. In history, the Shafiq family There has been a powerful character called the "Black Queen" by the world. It is said that the villain Maleficient in the Muggle fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty" is based on this Shafik family. The Black Witch was built as a prototype.

Schelling took the initiative to speak, "Two beautiful ladies, I’m Schelling Malfoy, I am glad to meet you. Is there anything I can do for you?"

The girl leading into the carriage replied generously: "Hello, Mr. Malfoy, this is Daphne Greengrass, and this is my friend Meredith Shafik. We just had another trip with your brother. I met in the box, it's just... uh..." At this point, her face flushed, and she didn't know how to continue the conversation.

Compared to Daphne’s friendly attitude, Meredith was a little cold, and she hummed disdainfully, and said in a slightly mocking tone: "Your brother and Pansy Parkinson... seem to have similar interests. …"

Xie Lin can now be sure that the two of them must have just broke up with their brother's friends, before they decided to change the carriage, and moved to their own place wherever they knew it. Meredith just listen to the tone, as if she almost put Bitch insulting words that came out of this, it is no wonder, Schelling clearly Pansy photograph of virtue, harsh words, very self-centered, speak Certainly offend many people.

Xie Lin gave a friendly smile, "I guess, my incompetent brother must have accidentally offended the two young ladies. I am here to compensate you for him instead. Please also ask the two young ladies to be generous with these two small gifts. Accept it as an apology!" After speaking, Xie Lin took out his magic wand and lightly tapped the cup on the table. The cup was divided into two and turned into a golden auspicious flower and a purple flower. Qin Sha, "This Ruixiang flower with Miss Daphne's name is Ren Meihuajiao; this dahlia is for the beautiful and noble Miss Meredith, which just shows your gorgeous and elegant temperament."

Although Xie Lin's pretense inevitably pleases the suspicion of hitting up the beauties, his exquisite transfiguration skills really shocked the two women. In the journey that followed, the eyes of the two women looking at him also began to change, and their words became enthusiastic. The three chatted about their family background and their longing for Hogwarts. The two women also enthusiastically asked Schelling about various problems in magic, only to find that Schelling had a lot of knowledge in spells, metamorphology, and potions, and there were more eyes when they looked at him. A bit of worship and awe.

It was night when the train reached the end. The platform where the freshmen get off is small and dark, rather weird. The cold wind blew through the robes, making a whistling sound. The school did not let the freshmen wait too long. A lamp swayed silently above the students' heads, followed by a rough voice shouting: "First-year freshmen! First-year freshmen come here!"

Hagrid, who is almost three times the height of a freshman, holds a magic lamp in his right hand, and smiles on his bearded face, "Come on, follow me. Are there any first-year freshmen? Watch out for your feet! Okay, one The freshmen come with me!"

The freshmen followed Hagrid through a rugged mountain road, and suddenly there was a sound of admiration in front of him. At the end of the path, a black lake suddenly spread out, with sparkling waves. On the high hillside on the other side of the lake stood a towering castle, shrouded in unfathomable darkness. UU Reading The castle is lined with spires, and windows are gleaming under the starry sky. Boats docked on the shore of the lake, shaking gently with the ripples. Hagrid yelled, "Get on the boat! No more than four people in each boat!"

More than a dozen small boats rowed across the calm lake towards the opposite side. Everyone was silent, staring at the huge castle high into the sky.

At the gate of the castle, Professor McGonagall led the freshmen into the auditorium, followed by the sorting ceremony.

As expected, Schelling, who was pure-blooded and full of ambitions and full of plans, was sorted into Slytherin by the Sorting Hat.

After dinner, the students returned to the lounges of different colleges under the leadership of the prefect.

Slytherin’s lounge is located in the castle’s dungeon. The vast lounge is filled with green lights. The walls and ceiling are made of black Gothic marble. Looking out the window is the bottom of the Black Lake with occasional water monsters. Grindillo and the giant squid swam past.

Different from other colleges, the noble little snakes have their own rooms and bathrooms. They don’t need to live with any roommates and have more private space. Schelling was very happy about this, it was really a suitable college for him, he had a lot of plans in Hogwarts, the less people knew the better. Xie Lin chose a remote and quiet room. After locking the door, he snapped his fingers, and with a touch, a dirty house elf appeared in the room. It was Dobby.

The house elves and wizards practice completely different magic systems. They can freely apparate within the range of Hogwarts. As one of Dobby’s masters, Schelling has a contract in his soul that allows Schelling to pass ideas at any time. The ability to summon Dobby. What a great ability, Xie Lin couldn't help but sigh, Dobby will become indispensable for him this year...run errands.
