Hogwarts: I'm just here to enjoy the magic

Turn back the clock a little.

It was about two o'clock in the morning.

Gryffindor, girls dormitory.

Hermione woke up quickly with the sound of an alarm.

She reached out in panic and turned off the alarm clock.

All this happened under a thick quilt.

After finishing all this, she secretly lifted the quilt and peeked out.

Fresh and cold air immediately poured in from the raised corner.

Her face became flushed due to lack of oxygen, and her breathing became much easier.

no way.

This is what happens when you sleep with your head covered with a quilt.

But if you don't do this, there is no way to set the alarm and avoid the noisy ringtone from waking up all the roommates.

In magic, there are actually spells with similar effects.

But Hermione wasn't sure how long such a spell would last.

Although she was a top student, she was not sure whether the spell would still work properly after she fell asleep.

I can only use this stupid method.

fortunately.

The roommates were all asleep and did not hear the short sound.

By now, things had become simpler.

She is a top student after all.

After using Silence to eliminate the sound, as long as you don't go too far and dance on someone's bed, you won't wake up your roommates.

She can wash up and change clothes without fear.

Everything is ready.

Before going out, I looked in the mirror.

As I grow older…

Even though she had only been in school for about five months, she seemed to have grown a little taller.

The chest seems to have changed slightly by a few millimeters?

My hair has also grown a bit, but it has always been fluffy and curly, so it's not very noticeable.

Anyway, when others saw her, they didn't care much about her figure or hair.

Instead, his attention was focused on the pair of front teeth that were slightly larger than ordinary people.

Hermione, whose parents are both dentists, has well-maintained teeth that look neat and white.

Perhaps because of this, the flaws that should not be very obvious become more conspicuous like the only black dot on the white paper.

Hermione looked at it herself and frowned a little.

"Let's see if there is any applicable magic to modify the teeth later."

Hermione, who was thinking this way, found that her knowledge was really poor.

It feels like nothing I want to do is very smooth.

You have to learn here and you have to learn there.

"Jack thinks so too, right?"

She thought about Jack.

"I wonder what he has been doing recently? Why is there a secret?"

After thinking for a while, I couldn't figure it out.

This is not nonsense.

If she knew Jack's secret, or in other words, could know what it was by just guessing on her own, she wouldn't have to accept Peeves' promise.

"Okay, be careful, it'll be okay."

Hermione patted her chest, took a deep breath, took her wand, and walked out the door.

Hogwarts in the early morning was actually not very quiet.

Everyone was obviously asleep and no one was moving.

But from time to time, footsteps, coughs, voices and other sounds can be heard.

Turn around.

There was no one there.

And make a sound.

It could be a painting, a statue.

Or maybe it's just a full body armor.

The kind she scrubbed in the evening.

Hogwarts at night can be said to be a place where strange stories explode.

What if some ignorant Muggle broke in here.

I'm afraid I might think I'm in a ghost's lair.

Why ghosts and not ghosts?

in fact……

There are relatively few ghosts walking around at night.

Unlike Muggle perceptions of ghosts, real ghosts are slightly different.

There are two main types of ghosts at Hogwarts.

One is unconscious.

He just wanders around in one place.

The other is conscious, has a certain degree of intelligence, and can talk to people.

By night.

Especially late at night.

Those conscious and intelligent ghosts will choose a place to rest.

after all……

For those who are wise.

This deserted and unpopular place is not worthy of their stay and attention.

Keep it simple and straightforward.

It’s that they maintain their human characteristics and like to join in the fun.

There is no lively place to be in, and it feels tiring to stay there.

therefore.

Late at night, there are usually only those ghosts that have no intelligence, no consciousness, and can only follow fixed routes.

The fun-loving ghost is invisible.

Throughout Hogwarts, not even a few ghosts could be seen.

In this kind of environment, how could it be called a ghost's lair?

relatively.

It is also difficult to find Peeves.

He does wander around during curfew times.

After discovering the little wizard who violated school rules, he immediately caused a stir and attracted the administrator Filch.

But there are only a few young wizards who violate school rules and wander around at night.

The occasional few are also experienced and can easily deal with Filch.

You can even fool him around.

Say something off topic.

Peeves, who often doesn't get the ending he wants, is not really a fun person.

Oh, Fun Ghost.

If it were a real fun ghost.

If you saw Filch being fooled around, you should have laughed at Filch who was embarrassed.

How can one stop laughing because the goal is not achieved.

A little farther away.

Because of having precise ideas and wisdom.

Peeves will disappear after a certain amount of night.

I don’t know which corner to go to sleep and rest.

Finding Peeves will be even harder.

Therefore, we can only come out early and look for him while he is still wandering around Hogwarts, looking for little wizards who violate school rules.

Hermione walked nervously around the school.

It was the first time she took the initiative to go out for a night out. The sense of violation of school rules made her heart beat faster.

She was really, really nervous.

The palm of the hand holding the wand was sweaty.

I was afraid that Peeves would jump out of any corner and laugh loudly: "There is a little wizard here who doesn't sleep and wanders around!!!"

If Filch catches him like that, all his academy points will be deducted.

No!

Never get caught!

"Aha!"

The sudden sound almost made Hermione jump.

But her slightly swollen hair showed her inner shock.

"Look! What did I find?! There's a lone Gryffindor here!"

It was Peeves, his head emerging from the pillar, and he was yelling.

"Filch! Filch!! Filch!!!"

"We could try to capture this little wizard! A Gryffindor would provide us with several days of fun!"

“They are adventurous and fun at the same time!”

Peeves winked.

"But Gryffindor is not easy to deal with! We have to approach her from behind and pounce on her quickly. Be careful she escapes!"

"Shut up!!!"

Hermione was furious.

Wave your wand and point it at Peeves.

"Silence!"
