Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

As if... a long time has passed...

Irina Ivanovich raised her head and looked at the brightly colored sun umbrellas outside the coffee shop and the wizards of all stripes walking through the streets of Diagon Alley. A trance flashed in her emerald green eyes.

In the past, when Grandpa was still there, she would often sit in that cold drink shop in Moscow, listening to Grandpa telling stories.

As Professor Walter Ivanovich’s favorite little granddaughter, what kind of story she wants to hear, what kind of story the old Walter can tell, no matter where she wants to go to play or what she wants to eat-perhaps because Since her mother has not been there since she was a child, as long as she is obedient and read carefully while at home, father and grandpa will try their best to satisfy her wishes.

Whether it's books about Muggles or textbooks in the magic school, Grandpa will find ways to help her find them.

Irina Ivanovic will often look forward to it. After she enters the Kodos Doris School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she must work hard to become the number one in the school, get more awards to make grandpa happy, and then enter the Ministry of Magic after graduation. Work with father.

It's just that on Irina's fifth birthday...

All the hopes of the Ivanovich family about the future have all vanished.

At the dinner table that morning, my father and grandpa had a fierce quarrel that they had never had before. In the evening, officials from the Russian Ministry of Magic and the International Federation of Wizards came to the house and announced that grandpa had become a criminal.

Immediately afterwards, his father lost his job at the Ministry of Magic, and most of the family's savings paid the Ministry of Magic fines.

Those uncles and aunts who used to visit the house often never came again. Irina’s former playmates also avoided her as if to avoid the plague. Old Ivanovich was placed under house arrest in the cabin behind the house, except Outside of the meal delivery time, Irina hardly had any chance to see Grandpa, and her father's temper became more and more irritable...

According to the magic world’s decree on the "Witcher’s Sorrow", as relatives of Walter Ivanovich, they cannot go to any dense wizarding place, even if the old Ivanovich has passed away for several years, this prohibition remains Not lifted.

She and her father were as if they were banished and forgotten by the entire Russian magic world.

until……

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

A nice voice interrupted Irina's thoughts, and the girl recovered.

Two big ice cream **** appeared in front of her. The snow-white cream ice cream **** were drizzled with red strawberry jam and sprinkled with some crushed rock sugar. Just a glance made people feel that the heat was gone. .

"Try it now, this is the specialty of Florin dessert shop-although his raspberry crumble ice cream tastes good, but I still prefer this new strawberry cream ice cream..."

"Huh? Okay, thank you..."

Irina stayed for a while, and hurriedly took the ice cream cone in front of her.

I don't know why, since they came out of the "Mrs. Morkin Robe Store", this senior sister named Elena Kaslana is in a very good mood and even offered to ask her for dessert.

Maybe...because the two of them are closer together?

Since most of the family's savings have been used to pay fines, the Ivanovic family's financial situation has been so bad over the years that Irina is thinner and thinner than most of her peers.

Eleven-year-old Irina is only 118 cm tall, a little shorter than Elena.

However, Irina will not be underestimated because of Elena's height.

When shopping for the powder on the list in a drugstore in Diagon Alley, Irina Ivanovich heard the manager call Elena "Professor Kaslana", and the two talked for a while. Regarding the supply of basic materials for the potions class at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year.

There is no doubt that Elena did not lie on her introduction, she is indeed a professor at Hogwarts.

As for why the girl looks so small, Irina is not too surprised.

As the granddaughter of the vice-principal of the Kodos Doric School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Irina heard many wonderful magical stories from her grandpa. Although half-blood wizards are rare, they are not shocking in the magical world.

However, after a little comparison with Elena, Irina suddenly lost confidence again.

In the legendary Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where monsters gather, is it really possible for her to become the best student in the school as grandpa expected—even if it's just the first grade...

"What's the matter?" Elena asked.

"It's nothing……"

Irina shook her head slightly, turned her head to look at the opposite street, and quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, Elena, what shop is there?"

Not far from the Florin dessert shop, dozens of young wizards of men and women gathered around the door of a shop, discussing with all their faces excitedly, even if they were across the street, they could vaguely hear the discussion.

"Well, if it's that direction, it should be..."

After Elena pondered for a few seconds, she glanced casually across Douglas, the fairy who was standing next to her.

"Oh...that's a Quidditch boutique!"

Capturing the eyes from Her Majesty the Queen, Douglas, who is the chief financial officer of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, gave a sensation, leaned gracefully, and continued to speak very naturally after receiving Elena's words.

"The Gringotts Wizarding Bank, in collaboration with the Destiny Group from Austria, has launched a new concept of high-speed flying broomsticks. Today is the first day of the new flying broom samples..."

"Hey, do you fairies also make flying broomsticks?"

"Of course, there are many well-known wizards in history who have one or two tools made by fairies. In the field of smelting and forging magic items, we fairies are much more powerful than human wizards."

Douglas straightened his waist, grinned and revealed sharp teeth, and said proudly.

With the introduction of the fairy Douglas, Elena and Irina left the Florin dessert shop and walked in the direction of Lihen Bookstore. Irina was still short of the textbooks needed for school.

As they passed by the Quidditch store, they heard the owner introducing them in a very proud voice.

"This model [SU91] developed by [GH-Сухой Design Institute] can be said to be the fastest broom in the world. It combines the most advanced streamlined design in the world today, and uses a mixture of metal and wood forging on the broom material. Not only’s braking performance is far superior to that of any other model, but also the protection can withstand the impact of a wandering ball at a speed of more than 150 miles per hour without any physical deformation.”

"The British national team has just placed an order. A total of 14 such broomsticks have been ordered—"

"If nothing else, you should be able to see its performance on the field at the opening ceremony of the World Cup next week... For safety reasons, orders from outside professional teams will not be accepted."

The fastest flying broomstick in the world... Exclusive to the national team...

Irina stopped subconsciously, tried to stand on her toes, crossed the gap in the crowd, and curiously looked at the beautiful flying broom in the Quidditch boutique window. It was the most majestic broom she had ever seen.

She remembered that Dad liked Quidditch very much. If he were here, he would stand here and couldn't walk, right?

"Irina, first-year students are not allowed to bring flying broomsticks."

Elena glanced at Irina, who was looking forward and curious, raised her fingers, and said seriously.

"If you have played Quidditch before, I can recommend you to join the Hogwarts first-year team-as long as you pass the selection test, I can give you a good broomstick."

"When I was very young, my grandfather gave me a toy broom..."

Irina replied subconsciously, her voice suddenly lowered a bit.

"However, when the Ministry of Magic came to our house for investigation, all the flying broomsticks and flying fans were taken away by them. I don't know if I will fly now... Everyone in the school is amazing, right? ?"

"It's hard to tell..."

Elena shrugged, "In fact, Hogwarts also has wizards who can't fly, and there are many powerful ones — there have even been first-year freshmen sweeping the academy team in history~www.wuxiaspot.com~Finally The winning situation."

"The Academy Team?"

"Well, you know, Hogwarts is divided into four colleges: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw-and then, starting from the second grade, each college will form a separate The academy team participates in the Quidditch competition for one academic year, and finally decides the victory based on the points and the relationship between winning and losing."

"Are all the freshmen in Hogwarts so good?"

Irina said in shock, and with Elena's introduction, she became more and more nervous.

Current students serve as professors, junior students swept the academy team, freshmen defeated senior students in a magic duel with more than one enemy, self-taught senior courses and got full marks...

"It's not all...but in the past two years, there seems to be some..."

Elena touched Xiaodu Mao with some guilty conscience, and casually explained.

I don’t know how her "Seven People Under the Moon" was going on during this summer vacation, and whether she followed the study plan she formulated-in case she aroused Irina’s crisis consciousness and waited for the girl. After arriving at school, it was very embarrassing to find that none of them could fight.

But fortunately, Luna Lovegood is still in the first grade this year.

Although Little Moon after a year of make-up lessons for her is occasionally a little confused, Luna Lovegood has undergone earth-shaking changes from the original book in terms of strength or family background.

At the same time, on the other side...
