I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - Chapter 375
c372 You two are hiding something from me
Saturday, December 21, 1994.
After experiencing several snowfalls, Hogwarts finally welcomed the long-lost sunny weather.
At this moment, outside the castle, not far from Hagrid’s hut, there were four figures standing in an open space near the Black Lake.
Just from the color of the collar of their robes, one can tell their identities at a glance, three Gryffindors and one Ravenclaw. Of course, hair color can also be distinguished. Wine-red hair really shouldn’t be too obvious.
Ian, Hermione, and the Weasley twins were currently discussing the location of the hut.
To talk about building a hut, we actually have to start a few days ago.
After Ian found out about Hagrid last time, he found Dumbledore the next day and successfully obtained a formal employment letter signed by the principal.
The whole process was uneventful, including the school directors. Of course, Professor McGonagall disagreed because Ian was only 16 years old and it was very unreasonable to drop out of school and work.
Facing the stubborn Professor McGonagall, we can only send Dumbledore to deal with it.
Ian saw with his own eyes that Dumbledore whispered in Professor McGonagall’s ear for a long time before the upright vice-principal reluctantly nodded in agreement.
Eventually, he was offered a position as gamekeeper. It is worth mentioning that Hagrid’s position has not changed, and the Forbidden Forest will have two guards in the future.
After getting the formal employment letter, Ian started building his own cabin non-stop, which is where today’s party took place.
Of course, he only dated Hermione at first, but by chance, he ran into George and Fred on the way.
After learning that his purpose was to build a hut, the two of them volunteered to follow him.
In their words, the Weasley family all have extraordinary talents in architecture… and even listed the difficult journey of building the Burrow from scratch.
…
“Ian, if you ask me, it’s better here. It’s next to the Black Lake. You might still be able to hear the mermaid singing in the middle of the night.” George pointed to the open space in front of him and said.
Fred also expressed the same opinion: “And you can still fish in the summer. Of course, there is a high probability that you will catch Grindylow, but at least it can bite the hook, which is enough.”
The twins’ focus has always been strange, and Ian is not surprised by this.
But the two people’s suggestions made him a little tempted, fishing! To be honest, he has almost forgotten this hobby. He remembers that the last time he went fishing was in another distant world…
“You two can also fish?” Ian asked curiously.
To be honest, with the twins’ out-of-the-box personalities, he didn’t think they could just sit back and enjoy fishing.
Hearing this, George and Fred looked at each other with strange expressions.
“George, it seems we have been underestimated.” Fred looked amazed.
George, who was named, also said not to be outdone: “Who says otherwise? I suggest that after the hut is built, we teach him a lesson.”
Ian was speechless as he watched the twins’ unobtrusive conversation. But he wouldn’t back down from this kind of thing. It was just fishing. He really wasn’t afraid of anyone, so he immediately sent out an invitation:
“Winter is no fun. Let’s wait until the weather warms up and we can have a try.”
…
On the other side, looking at the three boys chatting animatedly, Hermione couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “Are you sure you want to keep discussing? If so, I’ll go back for lunch first.”
After saying that, Hermione pretended to leave.
“Don’t! I’m ignoring them. They just came here to join in the fun and get in the way.”
Ian decisively gave up chatting with the twins. What was there to talk about with these two men?
Faced with Ian’s rebellion, George and Fred also shrugged indifferently.
Fred, in particular, understood Ian’s approach very well. If Angelina was here, he would decisively give up chatting with George.
They are just brothers, not as important as their wives.
Here, Hermione was also secretly happy after seeing Ian’s performance.
Then she looked at the location carefully and said, “Actually, this place is not bad. Although it is a bit far from the castle, it is close to the Forbidden Forest, which will be convenient for your future work.”
What else is there to say? Out of the four people who came, three of them liked the location here, and Ian had no reason to object.
“Then let’s do it!” After saying that, Ian pulled out the lined wand.
The silent transformation spell turns the gravel on the lawn into pieces of cut granite, each piece being a strip of stone about one meter long.
Under the influence of the floating spell and the permanent sticking spell, the entire cabin was like building blocks, and the basic construction was quickly completed.
Ian also had his own considerations for using a transformation spell instead of using real materials.
To put it bluntly, he won’t be able to stay here for more than a few years. When Hermione graduates, she will definitely have to change her place of residence or work.
Two hours later.
A rough round stone house rises from the ground without any artistic sense. If you have to find an advantage, it is only – thick.
There is no way, it is made up of stones one meter square, which is not heavy even if it is not thick.
In the hut, Ian and Hermione were sitting around a simple wooden table, enjoying a sumptuous lunch delivered by the house elf.
As for George and Fred, after the two men finished building the stone house, they found an excuse and disappeared in a flash, leaving no one behind for three minutes.
Of course, this also made Ian more convinced that they didn’t know how to fish at all.
…
“Not bad!” Hermione looked up and down at the surrounding environment and nodded with satisfaction.
“Really?” Ian smiled and took a bite of the sandwich in his hand, feeling the fragrance of wheat and the crispiness of barbecue.
Perhaps because he was really hungry, Ian finished the sandwich in his hand in a few bites, took a breath and said:
“Let me tell you, you can’t count on George and Fred, or the Weasley family’s architectural talent… I was embarrassed to say just now, what is the condition of the Burrow? It’s wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. There is magic…”
Hermione listened to her boyfriend’s petty complaints. Although she was amused, she also promptly offered words of comfort: “Okay, don’t talk about them behind their backs, although… they are indeed unreliable.”
At the end of the sentence, Hermione couldn’t help but laugh.
She still remembered the model George had just made using the transformation spell… If Ian really dared to adopt it, she swore she would never step into it.
“I didn’t say anything bad behind your back.” Ian retorted, then picked up the second sandwich from the plate.
“By the way, how are you getting along with Irene? I haven’t seen her recently.” Ian asked curiously, because he hadn’t seen Irene for a long time.
It was originally a casual chat after dinner, but Hermione’s reaction made him a little curious. How should I put it, it was probably like a good student who wouldn’t lie.
Looking at Hermione whose eyes were wandering, Ian decisively put down the food in his hand.
“You two are hiding something from me!”
