For the first lesson, the little badgers and little lions responded with great enthusiasm and high expectations. They fantasized about waving their wands, chanting incantations, mastering powerful magic, and earning extra points from their professors. Unfortunately, this enthusiasm dissipated after they received the class schedule and discovered that the first class was History of Magic. It was even more shocking to see that the professor was actually a ghost.
What was even more unfortunate was that Cuthbert Binns' voice seemed magical in a way that made it hard to stay awake. In less than five minutes, the little wizards struggled to keep their eyes open. Just as Wayne was about to close his eyes, Hermione pinched him and whispered, "Don't get distracted!"
Wayne looked helpless. "Sister, am I distracted? I'm about to lose my soul here! What he's reading is all from the textbook. I could memorize it by reading it once. There's no point in listening to the lecture."
"This is basic respect for professors," Little McGonagall said seriously. She would not be fooled by Wayne in this matter. Wayne already regretted sitting with Hermione, even though he wanted to catch up on some sleep. At the same time, he thought to himself that all the Hogwarts principals were stingy.
Cuthbert Binns had been dead for hundreds of years, so he must have been appointed as the History of Magic Professor to avoid paying him a salary. As the history of magic teacher invited by the four founders of Hogwarts, Cuthbert Binns was already very old at that time. One day, when he went to class, he left his body on a seat in the staff lounge.
Since then, Hogwarts has never replaced its History of Magic professor. A professor who does not require a salary, does not ask for leave, and must perform perfectly every year is the best workforce countless principals dream of. However, generations of little wizards had to endure this torture in every class.
For hundreds of years, no one had ever taken a NEWTs course on the History of Magic, and no one could.
"Hello, Wayne," Ronald, sitting at the table on the other side of Wayne, suddenly whispered. Beside him, Harry Potter was nodding his head and was about to fall asleep. Seeing Ronald talking to Wayne, Harry immediately perked up.
"What's the matter, Ronald?" Wayne replied with relief, seeing that Hermione didn't care about them.
"Oh, it's nothing," Ronald shook his head. "I just want to say thank you. You're really amazing. This is the first time I've seen George and Fred get hurt because of someone else. Or twice!"
Ronald was a little excited and his voice grew louder, waking up several little wizards from their sweet dreams. Harry was speechless as he looked at his best friend he had just met the day before. Those who knew Ronald might think the twins were his enemies instead of his brothers.
"You can think of Fred and the others as your cousins," Ronald explained to Harry. In an instant, Harry's eyes changed, and he understood completely.
"You're welcome," Wayne said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect Ronald to thank him for such a thing. How miserable must Ronald have been, often bullied by the twins?
To be honest, when Wayne first watched the original book and movie, he was very unhappy with Ronald's character. Ronald was very jealous, often making things difficult for himself, and his talent was not outstanding. In the end, he actually married Hermione, who became the Minister of Magic.
This is absolutely shady. But the older I get, the more I realize it's not easy for Ronald. There are five brothers in total. Three of them are always ranked first in their grade and have worked all the way from prefect to president of the student council. Although the twins' learning abilities are not that remarkable, their prank abilities are definitely exceptional. In this environment abroad, the popularity of the twins is still higher than that of Percy, a top academic and a real man of the hour. Further down, their younger sister Ginny also inherited a strong magical talent. And then there's Ronald, who has nothing special.
Growing up in such a high-pressure environment, Ronald developed an awkward personality but has no problem with right and wrong. It has been proven that he has a good foundation. Of course, this doesn't mean that Wayne will deliberately make friends with Ronald. He just won't judge everyone by the stereotypes he had in the past. This is the real world, and everything must be based on his own feelings. So far, he feels good about Ronald. He could be a friend to meet, greet, and chat with.
Cuthbert Binns was talking above, and the two of them were talking below. Eventually, Harry joined in. "Wayne, are you also from a Muggle family? That's great! I mean, we are really destined to be friends." "We don't live too far apart. I'm on Privet Drive, Surrey." In just a few words, Harry revealed all his secrets. Good-looking people usually gain the favor of others easily. Wayne is the best example. Harry considered him his first friend from another house.
The fifty minutes passed quickly. Before class ended, Cuthbert Binns left a six-inch paper explaining the origins of early wizarding in England. The next class was Transfiguration with Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Before they separated, a little witch angrily pulled Wayne to the corner. "You cannot do that! You bought a lot of books before school started. I know you love to learn. You must listen carefully in class, even if the teacher is a ghost!"
Looking at Hermione, who was really like a little lion, Wayne nodded obediently. "Don't worry. I will definitely pay attention in the future." Hermione didn't know whether Wayne listened, but she was pressed for time. She could only glare at Wayne and leave in a hurry, feeling a little disappointed. She really regarded Wayne as a friend and hoped he could study hard. Wayne understood this, so he wasn't angry at all. After a while, when Hermione sees his results, she will naturally not be upset.
The Transfiguration classroom is on the second floor. Wayne and a group of Hufflepuffs walked into the classroom. The first thing he saw was the tabby cat on the table in front of him. He nodded slightly in greeting and found a seat to sit down. To be honest, he really wanted to pet Professor McGonagall to see if the Animagus's fur felt softer. But he had already witnessed her transformation process during the summer vacation. If he tried it again, he would be asking for trouble. However, Wayne knows that many other little wizards don't. Especially Hufflepuffs. Most of the students in this house like animals and plants. After seeing the cat, some even took out snacks from their pockets to feed it.
Wayne immediately looked at the others.
