The Ancient Wizards of Hogwarts

In Gryffindor Tower, at the end of the empty corridor is a huge portrait like a door.

The portrait shows a fat lady wearing a pink silk dress with a rather plump figure.

Her eyes caught the two people in front of the portrait and said:

"Password."

"Dragon scum," Hermione replied.

The portrait swung open toward them, revealing a circular entrance in the wall.

The Gryffindor common room was a cozy round room that was packed with people and the aroma of food wafted in the air. Students from all grades gathered together, eating the delicacies brought by the house elves and talking happily about what happened today. The lounge was suddenly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

When Ash and Hermione entered the Gryffindor common room, they immediately attracted the attention of other students.

Hermione was not popular in Gryffindor, let alone the fact that she was actually bringing people from other houses into the Gryffindor common room. It was really hard not to make people doubt her purpose.

Harry and Cassandra originally wanted to come, but Ash sent them back to the Slytherin common room on the grounds of 'helping Hermione make the bed and submit an application to the Slytherin prefects', otherwise their arrival was undoubtedly It will make the situation worse.

But luckily there were still people in Gryffindor who welcomed them.

George waved to Ash and greeted warmly:

"Hey Ash! Want to come get something to eat?"

Ash politely declined:

"Sorry, George, I've eaten. Is Percy here?"

"Ash."

Percy emerged from the crowd and asked apologetically:

"Sorry, I was chatting with a friend just now."

"It doesn't matter."

Ash smiled and nodded, briefly explained the situation, and said, "That's right, Hermione won't be returning to the Gryffindor lounge for a while. She will live with Harry and the others."

After a pause, Ash continued:

"Professor McGonagall has no objection."

"But Percy, you are the prefect after all, so I feel it is necessary to communicate with you and obtain your consent."

Hermione blinked, because Ash hadn't told Professor McGonagall about this.

But strictly speaking, Ash didn't lie, because Professor McGonagall did not express any objection.

After all, Professor McGonagall can't object to something she doesn't know, right?

Percy frowned and asked in a deep voice:

"Is it because of being ostracized by other students? I can help warn them."

"No, it's because of Harley."

Hermione used the excuse Ash taught her and explained with a somewhat unnatural expression: "Her grades have never been very good, so she always hoped that I could help tutor her at night."

Percy was silent for two seconds and sighed softly:

"Since you insist so much, then okay."

As a prefect, the last thing Percy wanted to see happen was this. But he didn't have a better solution. If he used his status as a prefect to warn others, it would certainly make Hermione stop being ostracized in a short time, but it would not improve her relationship with other people. Instead, it would make her and others Other people's relationships are becoming increasingly strained.

In contrast, letting her leave temporarily and live with her friends is the best choice.

"Thank you, Prefect Percy."

Hermione politely thanked Ash and whispered to Ash:

"Ash, I'll go up and clean up first."

Ash smiled and rubbed the girl's head:

"Let me help you."

"Eh?!!! Don't..."

Hermione hurriedly tried to stop Ash, but Ash had already stepped onto the spiral staircase leading to the girls' dormitory on the right, and even turned around and asked:

"Hermione, which dormitory is yours?"

"I, I'll take you there."

Hermione looked a little flustered, quickly climbed the stairs, took the initiative to grab Ash's hand and trotted out of the sight of others.

At this moment, the Gryffindor common room became silent!

"Huh?" George and Fred noticed this scene and looked a little excited.

"The magic failed?"

"should be!"

"Wuhu!"

The twin brothers looked at each other, yelled and rushed towards the spiral staircase leading to the girls' dormitory on the right. However, they had just climbed the stairs when they heard a 'clang' sound, and all the steps of the stairs were retracted downwards, turning into an extremely smooth slide!

boom!

The two brothers rolled down the stairs one after the other and fell flat on their backs.

"What's going on?" George asked with a grimace, holding his butt that had been kicked hard by Fred.

"Maybe it just malfunctioned?" Fred muttered, covering his eyes that bumped into the soles of George's shoes.

What happened to the two brothers immediately dispelled the suspicion of the other Gryffindor students, and it was obvious that the magic had not failed.

But what happened just now? Is it because Ash went up with Hermione?

——

Among all the houses, Gryffindor is definitely the house with the most unequal status between men and women, bar none.

For example, the two spiral stairs in Gryffindor lead to the boys' and girls' dormitories respectively, but there are charms on the steps leading to the girls' dormitory to prevent boys from entering, but there are no charms on the side of the boys' dormitory, and girls can enter at will -

By the way, this idea was later imitated by other colleges. Hufflepuff’s girls’ dormitory is on the second floor. Slytherin specially added a staircase to the girls’ dormitory, and Ravenclaw’s stairs leading to the girls’ dormitory. There are also two enchanted knight armors guarding them.

For another example, the girls' dormitory in Griffin is a deluxe four-bed room, while the boys' dormitory is also a four-bed room, but it is a beggar's version. And due to the increasing number of Gryffindor students in recent years, the boys' dormitory has been converted into five-person rooms.

"Is everything packed?"

Ash asked softly as he picked up Hermione's big bag.

Hermione tied her book with a rope, held it in her arms, and whispered:

"Well, I don't have much personal belongings."

"Then let's go." Ash rubbed the girl's thick brown hair, and the two left the dormitory together.

As they passed the stairs of the girls' dormitory, George and Fred stared at Ash closely, expecting to see him fall down the stairs.

However, this did not happen.

Ash and Hermione walked down the stairs smoothly and left the Gryffindor common room amidst the stunned expressions of the two brothers.

But on the marble stairs leading to the Slytherin common room, they encountered someone they didn't expect.

Professor McGonagall blocked the stairs in front of them and asked with a frown:

"Mr. Black, and Miss Granger, where are you going?"

"Professor McGonagall, we..."

Hermione was a little at a loss, but Ash explained calmly:

"Go to the Slytherin common room, Professor."

"Why?" Professor McGonagall asked with a frown.

She wasn't as prejudiced against Slytherins as the others, but she also couldn't accept Gryffindor students going to the Slytherin common room!

"Because of Hermione's talent."

Ash didn't explain in too much detail, just shrugged and said: "Her outstanding talent made her ostracized by other students in Gryffindor, so I hope she can live with Harry and the others for a while."

Finally, Ash added:

"This has been approved by the Gryffindor prefects."

Professor McGonagall was silent for a long time, then turned his gaze to the nervous girl:

"Miss Granger."

"Yes." Hermione replied nervously.

Professor McGonagall said slowly:

"Gryffindor will always be your home and you can come back anytime."

Hermione nodded obediently:

"Okay, Professor."

Comments on the launch:

Note: I posted the review in the wrong place, it was related to the work. Therefore, I will post the last chapter of the free chapter. Firstly, my grades will be bad, and secondly, I will not be a eunuch. I will try my best to finish it with ten thousand words per day and insist on finishing it with one million words in three months.
