Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

The first day of school is Friday, and there are no classes for the next two days, so all the students can sleep in.

This is true for students in Great Britain.

For Sainz, the first class in the morning doesn’t start until nine o’clock, and there is no morning reading. Isn’t this just sleeping in every day?

At seven o'clock in the morning, he couldn't sleep.

I got up quietly, walked out of the quiet dormitory, passed through the equally quiet common room, and crawled out of the barrel.

Walking through the foyer and onto the grass outside the gate, the early morning sunshine brought with it the sweetness of dew, and the Black Lake in the distance was swaying with sparkles in the golden morning light.

The mountains farther away guard the black pearl under the castle like loyal guards.

Looking back, the Hogwarts Castle in the morning light is different from what I saw at night, as if the king had finally taken off his mysterious veil and showed his majesty to the world.

He waved his hand and let Speed ​​fly away.

"I will no longer lock you in a cage. You can live freely in the mountains.

Just check back from time to time to let me know you're safe.

But there is one thing you need to pay attention to. There are still some dangers in the Forbidden Forest. Of course, I believe you can handle it."

Speed ​​has a high IQ and can fully understand human language. He circled over Sainz's head, landed on his shoulder, pecked Sainz's hair affectionately, then leaped into the clouds and disappeared into the distance.

The visibility was not good last night, so he did not make any measurements. Now that the visibility was good, he found a high point and looked down. The Black Lake was roughly a rectangular body of water, 2 kilometers wide and 6 kilometers long.

The area is about 12 to 15 square kilometers.

The outer wall of Hogwarts encloses the entire Black Lake. To the left, a circle is drawn to enclose a large area, directly enclosing the Quidditch pitch. Then, turning right, after a distance, there is the main entrance on the wall.

The walls on both sides extended to the right until they reached the depths of the forbidden forest.

In other words, Hogwarts actually has walls on only three sides. There is no wall in the direction of the Forbidden Forest, but the Forbidden Forest is regarded as the fourth wall.

As it turned out, this approach was inherently dangerous. When Voldemort attacked the school, many of his enemies came from the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

Standing on the slope at the entrance of the castle, you can see from afar a wooden house on the edge of the forbidden forest in the distance. The curling smoke is floating on the roof like naughty children.

A little closer, there is a strange bare tree with branches standing very tall.

Such a lonely tree has nothing to do with the Forbidden Forest. I think it is the Whomping Willow that almost beat Harry up.

If you look closer, you can see three huge factory-like greenhouses side by side. They should be greenhouses for growing herbs.

Whenever he arrived at a place, figuring out where the various functional areas were was a problem Sainz had in his previous life.

Apart from other things, you should at least know the locations of emergency passages and toilets.

The importance of safe passages goes without saying, and toilets are also crucial, otherwise you won’t even be able to find a place to poop.

"What else needs to be figured out? Um, the kitchen, the Room of Requirement."

Sainz walked along the lake and thought, “Oh, right, the Marauder’s Map!

At this time, the twins haven't received it yet, and they should still be in Filch's office."

It's not that he coveted the Marauder's Map, he was just interested in the spell on the map. It could actually display everyone's location in real time, and even Dumbledore couldn't escape. It could be said to be quite clever.

Of course, it also has its shortcomings, that is, no matter where you are, it only shows the situation in Hogwarts.

Sainz wondered if it had some kind of connection with Hogwarts. In fact, its function was due to the contribution of this thousand-year-old castle?

"No matter what, let's get it first. Isn't there a saying that at Hogwarts, as long as you don't get caught, you haven't violated the school rules."

As time went by, more and more people gathered by the lake, and there were many senior couples dating each other.

Sainz had no interest in eating dog food, so he simply returned to the castle and had breakfast in the auditorium.

After breakfast, he decided to check in at the first location of today's mission, the kitchen.

The kitchen is easy to find, in the same underground corridor as the entrance to the Hufflepuff basement.

A huge still life painting on the wall, a bowl of fruit.

Reach out and scratch a pear in the painting, it giggles and turns into a doorknob.

Grab the door handle and push open the kitchen door

The kitchen has a high ceiling and its area and layout are exactly the same as the auditorium above.

There were piles of gleaming copper pots and pans stacked against the surrounding stone walls, and at the other end of the room there was a large brick fireplace.

In the middle, there were four long tables, just like in the Great Hall, and a group of house-elves were busy around the tables.

Each house-elf was wrapped in a uniform tea towel with the Hogwarts medal printed on it.

A shield-shaped pattern with a capital H in the middle and four sections around it, each printed with the colors and animals representing the four colleges.

As soon as Sainz entered, the house-elves immediately discovered him and everyone gathered around him.

"Ah, Mr. Wizard has come to the kitchen. House elves should not be seen. Conte has done something wrong. Conte should be punished."

A house-elf was about to punish himself immediately, but Sainz stepped forward to stop him.

"It's not that you did a bad job, it's that I suddenly barged in and disturbed your work. I should apologize to you."

"Ah, what a kind wizard." Several house-elves, including Conte, were moved to tears by Sainz.

He felt a little amused and helpless in his heart. The house-elves did live a very humble life. The magical contract deeply embedded in their blood turned them into slaves through and through.

Whatever the situation was before, the purpose of a house-elf's life now is to serve wizards.

Many wizards don't even consider them as intelligent beings.

They often beat, scold or punish them, without considering that they are also intelligent beings with emotions.

House-elves are so humble that they would rather die for you if a wizard shows them the slightest kindness.

In the original storyline, Dobby sacrificed his life to save his hero, Harry Potter.

After calming them down, Sainz finally had time to look at their faces carefully.

It was just as Harry said, they were generally skinny, about 70 to 80 centimeters tall, very small, and had a pair of ears as big as bats.

Eyes as big and bulging as tennis balls, with a long and flat nose. Some noses are longer, some are relatively shorter, and paired with a dirty tea towel, to be honest, it can't be said to be good-looking.

"I'm a freshman this year, my name is Sainz Autumn, and I'm here to thank you for the food you made for us."

"Ah, Mr. Autumn actually came all the way to say thank you to the house-elf. I'm so touched... haha..."

Oh! I started crying again!
