Chapter 31: Morning
On Monday morning, Coven got out of bed before six o'clock.
After putting on his clothes, he glanced at his roommates, who were sleeping soundly on the other two beds, and then left the dormitory with light steps.
When he went down to the first floor, there was no one in the public lounge. Coven kept walking and pushed open the portrait of the fat lady, arriving at the corridor on the eighth floor.
"Who is it? Why are you out so early?"
Inside the portrait, the fat lady's half-awake voice sounded.
"It's me, Coven Quinn." Coven reached out and closed the 'door'.
The fat lady finally saw Coven. After a moment of realization, she asked, "Where are you going so early?"
"I'm going out for a walk to catch some fresh air." Coven responded with a smile and asked, "By the way, today is a new week. What is the password for this week?"
"Ah? I just woke up. I haven't thought about it yet." The fat lady was a little embarrassed.
"Why don't we simply change the password to Gryffindor?" Coven suggested with a smile.
"No, no, no. If that's the case, the password will be too simple." When the fat lady heard this, she shook her head repeatedly. "And it doesn't match my style. Let me think about it now..."
"Yes, that's right. This week's password will be changed to 'bee honey'."
"Yes, Madam. I will remember it." Coven turned around and said goodbye at the same time, "Then you can continue to rest for a while. I will go first."
The fat lady did not respond. She covered her mouth with her left hand and yawned. Her right hand waved perfunctorily as a response...
..
After passing through the long corridor, Coven arrived at the magic staircase tower. He could not help but sigh when he saw that the moving stairs leading to the bottom were swaying at the other passages.
Looking around, the next moment, Coven jumped down with a 'whoosh'.
Bang!
Coven used the Levitating Charm summoning textbook movement and was completely seen by the two.
Seeing that Coven successfully caught the textbook, Professor Huo Qi of the flight class could not help but sigh, "A beautiful 'Levitating Charm'!"
Professor McGonagall, who was holding a cup of coffee beside her, smiled with satisfaction.
"He's only in the first year." Professor Hooch sighed. "At this age, he has mastered the non-shaking magic wand. If he practices more in the future, the no-wand spell casting is almost perfect."
"This child is a genius." Professor McGonagall finally spoke, stroking the coffee cup in her hand. She said with appreciation, "Not only is he smart, but he is also very hardworking. We professors who have seen him once thought he would be sent to Ravenclaw. I didn't expect that we, Gryffindor, would come in the end."
"Oh?" Mrs. Huo Qi asked in surprise, "Do you know this child? Whose family does he belong to? Why don't I have any impression of him?"
"He is the child that Ollivander has been monitoring." Professor McGonagall explained, "We met him at the wand shop when we went to the first year to buy new students during the holidays."
"I see." Mrs. Hooch suddenly understood and then was stunned. "He is... the child who was reported in the newspaper? The second child who survived the death curse?"
"It's him," Professor McGonagall confirmed.
"Oh, poor child..." Madam Hooch said with a pitiful expression, "I heard that many wizards wanted to go to his side to gain some benefits, hoping to get some luck."
"Yes." Professor McGonagall nodded, and her expression turned slightly sour. "After that, the academy and the Ministry of Magic operated at the same time, allowing the child to stay away from being disturbed."
"I hope he will continue to be lucky in the future." Hearing this, Madam Hooch did not say anything more. Instead, she said, "Breakfast time is almost up. Let's go down to the auditorium."
"Okay."
Professor McGonagall responded. She first turned back to the office and put down the coffee cup, and then went to the auditorium with Madam Hooch.
....
At eight o'clock, the breakfast time in the auditorium began, and it lasted for 45 minutes.
After breakfast, there was still half an hour left before the class. This time, it was used to let the students eat or return to the dormitory to prepare the textbooks.
Coven had already prepared the textbooks needed in the morning, so he did not return to the dormitory. Instead, he waited until the time was almost up and then left the castle with a few Gryffindor freshmen, walking to the greenhouse outside the castle, where Herbology's class was...
