days at Hogwarts

early morning.

After Loren finished washing up, he changed into pajamas and lay down on the bed. He tucked the quilt under his arms, closed his eyes and relaxed. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly thought of Hermione and took out his communicator to send her a message.

Then he closed his eyes and continued to fall asleep.

Having stayed up almost all night last night, Loren felt a little confused. He felt sleepy and tired, but his mind was clear and even a little excited. When he was alone, he kept thinking about what happened tonight. The resurrection ritual was interrupted, Professor Snape had a falling out with Voldemort, and suddenly Dumbledore stuffed an Elder Wand into his hand, and he won the battle against the most powerful dark wizard in history.

After tonight, the situation in the wizarding world has completely changed.

Loren closed his eyes, and in a trance he saw Professor Snape's resurrection ceremony again. The silver light and white mist connected the hazy fantasy. He saw Voldemort leading the Death Eaters suddenly appear. The Dark Mark floating in the air turned green, and then shattered into dense killing curses... In a trance, the image of Harry crying flashed across his mind.

It seems like something strange has mixed in.

I hope I don't have nightmares tonight.

Loren was almost sleepy, so he turned over and changed to a more comfortable side-lying position, ready to fall asleep. Suddenly he remembered that sleeping on his left side might put pressure on his heart, so he changed direction in a daze. This time he was really sleepy.

"You can't sleep either, Loren?"

"..."

"I know you also want to use the resurrection stone. After all, we both have the same experience."

"..."

"Do you think there is really another world after death? What is that world like? Will we go to the same place when we die?"

"..."

“Will we ever be reunited with them?”

"..."

"Of course I will. My mother said we will meet again."

"..."

Loren, who was sleeping soundly, turned over again and changed to lying on his left side, which might put pressure on his heart.

Loren slept very uneasily after staying up all night. He dreamed that the dormitory window was not closed and the mosquito net was not drawn down. Mosquitoes flew in from the window and kept buzzing around his ears. He couldn't drive them away, which was very annoying.

……

It's approaching noon.

Loren felt his cheeks and nose itchy, as if something furry was rubbing against him. He found that he had no reaction, and the furry thing began to crawl onto him, as if a solid mass was pressing down on him, making it a little hard for him to breathe.

"..."

Loren opened his eyes.

An ugly persimmon-shaped face stood before his eyes, looking stupid. When it saw him wake up, it turned around and got off him, standing beside the pillow and staring at him, its long ginger-colored tail shaking gently, sweeping back and forth.

"Crookshanks?"

Loren hadn't gotten enough sleep, so his mind was a little fuzzy.

The ginger kitten meowed.

"Okay, okay, I know it was Hermione who sent you to wake me up."

Loren put his arms around Crookshanks, trying to keep the stuffed animal from staying in bed a little longer.

"aim……"

Kittens are all liquid, and Crookshanks has smooth fur, so the liquid just flows down his arm, and he jumps off the bed lightly, squatting next to his slippers, meowing at him. "Don't rush me, don't rush me."

Loren sat up and stretched, then looked around. Except for Harry, none of his roommates were in the dormitory. Before leaving, he considerately closed the windows for them so that the bright light outside would not disturb their sleep.

After getting up and walking to the bathroom, Crookshanks quickly returned to report.

It's another sunny day.

……

"If you make up for your sleep in the morning, don't sleep in the afternoon..."

Hermione handed over the sandwich and took the orange marmalade next to it, saying softly, "If you sleep too long in the afternoon, you will have insomnia at night. If you have insomnia, you will stay up late. If you stay up late and continue to sleep the next day, your biological clock will be messed up. Stay a little sleepy and go to bed early tonight."

Loren yawned and took the sandwich listlessly: "Doctor Granger knows a lot, maybe he often stays up late to read books, so he has experience."

"At least I won't be up all night."

"That's because I forgot to call you last night."

Loren took a bite of the sandwich and shook his head again. "What a pity! Not only did you miss last night's wonderful adventure, you also missed my heroic demeanor... Professor Snape's resurrection ritual opened up the blurred illusion, the most exciting duel of the century between Voldemort and I, and Professor Snape's true feelings, Harry crying hysterically... Tsk, I have to find a way to film the scenes in my memory and play them at Harry and Ginny's wedding."

"..."

Talking about what happened last night, Hermione still couldn't believe it and couldn't help looking at the overly long and ancient wand in his hand: "Is this the legendary Elder Wand? Did it really help you defeat Voldemort?"

"Let me show you something fun."

Loren knew that this was just an exclamation, not a question, so he didn't answer. Instead, he picked up the Elder Wand, pointed at the green apple on the table, and handed it to the girl, "Try it."

"?"

Hermione looked at him suspiciously, suspecting it was some kind of prank, but since he said so, she decided to give it a try.

The apple felt slightly cool to the touch, with water droplets still on it from washing. It was crystal green and looked like an ordinary green apple, but when you got close to it, you could tell something was wrong. It was the smell of orange peel, rich and slightly pungent.

Hermione's eyes lit up slightly, and she took a small bite.

"laugh!"

It was juicy and crisp, but tasted entirely of orange and nothing like apple.

The outstanding students subconsciously analyzed the magic principles involved. It must be the field of transfiguration, and the most complex food transfiguration. Other similar effects include turning water into wine, milk into juice, and even bread into ham. However, these transfiguration applications are all overall changes without exception. The appearance, smell and taste have all changed. However, Loren's orange-flavored apple only changes its smell and taste while maintaining its appearance and taste.

This is not just a sophisticated technique, it is also pushing Transfiguration into a whole new realm, just like physics moving from the macroscopic level to the quantum level.

"Isn't it great?"

"sharp."

"Would you like to try a strawberry-flavored apple? It's all pulp when you take a bite."

Hermione rolled her eyes at him and asked thoughtfully, "Is this a universal technique, or is it something that only the Elder Wand can do?"

Loren took the apple from her hand, broke off half for himself, and stuffed the remaining half back into her hand: "Now it can only be done with the Elder Wand. Later, when you are familiar with it, perhaps you can analyze the principles and summarize the techniques. I just got the Elder Wand, so I am not sure. Ask Dumbledore when you have time."

Hermione looked up and didn't see the headmaster at the guest of honor seat, nor did she see Harry at the long table. She couldn't help but ask, "Where are they?"

"Harry is still sleeping. As for the headmaster..." Loren nodded at the Auror at the door of the Great Hall, "He should be dealing with Minister Scrimgeour in his office."

He bit the apple with a crunching sound. The taste was his favorite and the texture was familiar, but the combination felt weird.
