The Bard at Hogwarts

The spiral staircase in the Astronomy Tower is very ingeniously designed. It spirals up with a width of two feet, giving people who walk here a feeling of being superior.

After leaving the Astronomy Tower, Ino suddenly stopped in the corridor. Not far away, several Ravenclaw girls were laughing and walking through the corridor.

The moonlight was like water, or the candlelight in the corridor gently fell on the face of an oriental woman, which was different from the three-dimensional facial features of most girls in Hogwarts.

The girl in front of him was soft and delicate, and her thin lips showed her gentleness and charm when she smiled.

Ino saw Qiu Zhang not far away, but considering that there were many girls around Qiu, he also chose the oriental implicit greeting-smiled and nodded.

However, Qiu did not respond implicitly, but left his companions next to him and walked over alone.

"I thought you would only know me intermittently every Thursday evening, but I didn't expect you to say hello in the corridor."

Qiu's tone was a bit complaining, and if you listen carefully, you can actually find some hidden meanings.

"Sorry! I usually stay in the dormitory to sleep, and I don't have much time." Ino looked apologetic.

To be honest, he and Qiu had a good time together, but as he said, these happy times were limited to the Transfiguration Club on Thursday evening.

"Sleeping?" Qiu quietly raised his chin, his dark brown eyes full of disbelief.

Qiu leaned forward slightly and said softly in a very weak voice:

"Do you know that someone ran from the first floor to the eighth floor in order to meet me by chance, and then walked down as if nothing had happened. You are good, I want to meet you by chance, but I can't find your people."

Looking at the girl who was close at hand, Ino subconsciously took a half step back. Although he had a good time getting along with this theoretical senior in the club, he didn't want to provoke her for the time being.

After all, the feelings in school are like bubbles in the sun, which burst with a poke. Perhaps many things can only be understood after graduation, although it is a bit late.

"I really sleep, and I go to the library to read books at other times." Ino explained helplessly.

Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Qiu's eyes.

She still has a good impression of this junior who is as good-looking and knowledgeable as Cedric. Especially when he is chatting and laughing in the Transfiguration Club, his humor and mature temperament are beyond the reach of others.

But the subconscious retreat just now and the formulaic explanation now also made her understand a lot of problems.

"Okay! See you on Thursday!"

Qiu shrugged indifferently without too much entanglement. As a Ravenclaw, she knew that some things could not be rushed, not to mention that there were at least four years in the future.

"Yeah! See you on Thursday."

...

Looking at Qiu Zhang's back as he left, Ino smiled and shook his head, turned and walked downstairs.

The little episodes in life are like this, always bringing some surprises and fun inadvertently.

But after the episode, it's the main meal.

He is now going to find Professor McGonagall to discuss the public registration of Animagus. Just before climbing the Astronomy Tower, he had already had this idea.

There is no point in sneaking around. Not only can you not play in the water happily, but even if you want to verify the release of magic in the black swan state in the later stage, you have to be cautious.

And the benefit of hiding? It seems that there is only one, which is to make it easier to escape from Azkaban.

Well! Who would think about how to escape from prison all day long? And even if he really went to Azkaban, he had already thought about it, just hide in the shelter and stay there until the end of time.

When he becomes a legendary wizard, he will come out again.

Moving stairs in the castle.

Ino stood on the stairs, waiting for them to move slowly, but another idea suddenly emerged in his mind.

When he thought of the shelter, he thought of supplies and food, and also thought of a more important question.

Can living things be brought into the shelter?

You must know that whether it is the planted ice flowers or the deformed owls sent by Professor McGonagall, in the fundamental sense, they are not real living things.

If living things can be brought in, what about wizards? If wizards can enter, what about the fantasy world?

As his thoughts flew, Ino thought a lot, and even thought of Middle-earth. Hundreds of wizards on brooms guarded Helm's Deep, Minas Tirith fought against orcs, trolls and ogres fought each other, and thestrals bit the Ringwraiths...

Fantastic scenes flashed one after another, and soon they arrived at Professor McGonagall's office.

Just as he raised his hand to knock on the door, he saw the office door opened from the inside, and then three little wizards came out one after another.

The air suddenly became a little quiet.

"Ino!" Hermione was the first to react and greeted him with surprise.

"What a coincidence, you are here too." Ino responded with a smile, and also nodded to Harry and Ron.

"We came because..." Hermione stopped halfway and silently expressed Lockhart with her mouth.

"Okay, okay, it's wisest for you to find Professor McGonagall!"

Looking at the relieved expressions of the three people, Ino knew very well that Gerald Lockhart, the second-year Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, had entered a real countdown.

Just when Hermione was about to say something, Professor McGonagall had quietly appeared at the door.

"Go back when you've finished talking! Behave yourself for a while, I will take care of this matter." Professor McGonagall looked at the three people at the door seriously.

She felt that although the little wizards in the past were naughty, they were not as exaggerated as the past two years. Several people kept silent, but they ended up quietly collecting all the evidence of a professor's crimes.

In terms of the ability to make trouble, the three people in front of them compared with the Weasley twins were just like the difference between a professional Quidditch broom and a children's broom.

"Let's go now!" Looking at the serious Professor McGonagall, Ron and Harry nodded quickly, and then did not forget to pull Hermione's sleeve.

After the three people left completely, Professor McGonagall looked at the door with some tiredness, and was also a worry.

And her intuition told her that the style of the three people who did big things in silence just now might not be because they had opened their minds. As the head of Gryffindor for so many years, she knew very well that the students of her college never lacked courage, but they always lacked cunning.

"Tell me, what's your matter! Since last year, there has never been such a weird thing in the castle before."

Although she was complaining, Professor McGonagall did not show any impatience in her tone or expression. She was very satisfied with the student in front of her. He combined Transfiguration with Muggle philosophy. The views that Ino always discussed in the club were always refreshing.

…

Transfiguration office.

“Professor! I plan to register for Animagus!”

Without any greetings, Ino stated his purpose directly.

“It’s rare that you can figure it out!” Professor McGonagall sighed. Although she promised to keep it secret, as a professor, she really didn’t want her students to be discovered by the Ministry of Magic for this reason and be punished.

“You don’t have to worry about anything, just wait for my news! It just so happens that I have to go to the Ministry of Magic, just one or two days.”
