September 1, 1992, London King’s Cross Station, Platform 9 3/4.
This day is the annual enrollment day for new students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the only magic school in England.
For the little wizards who are studying at Hogwarts or about to go to Hogwarts, taking the train from King’s Cross Station is the only way to get to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
This caused the entire platform to be crowded with people, which was particularly lively.
Students of different ages and parents who saw them off pushed large and small bags of luggage on the platform.
Owls flew over people’s heads, dropping a few feathers.
Several cats were flexibly shuttling under people’s feet.
Next to the platform, a crimson steam locomotive was parked there.
The sign on the train read [Hogwarts Express, 11 o’clock].
In a quiet carriage near the end of the train, a boy sat alone in a compartment, holding his chin and looking at the crowded crowd outside the window.
He has slightly curly but not messy black hair, just like his clothes, giving people the first impression of being fresh and neat.
He wore a plain wizard robe with a blue badge embroidered on his chest.
In addition to a bronze eagle, there was also the word Ravenclaw on the badge.
At this time, although he was looking out the window, the noisy scenes were not reflected in his transparent blue eyes, and his thoughts were flying.
Scott Trollope, born in an ordinary family in Hastings, a small port town in southeast England, is 14 years old and a fourth-year student at the Ravenclaw College of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
In addition to these, he has a secret identity that is different from ordinary people – a time traveler.
It has been 14 years since he was reborn in this world with the memory of his previous life.
Scott didn’t know why he was reborn in this world with his memory after his accidental death in his previous life.
He could only sigh that everything in his previous life could not be traced.
In this life, his growth experience before the age of eleven can also be called unremarkable.
He was not a well-known child prodigy, nor the richest man in the world. He did not rush to publish the Harry Potter novel, nor did he buy Apple stocks, nor did he learn hacking skills to empty the Bank of England… He did not even have the standard system for time travelers.
He just accepted his new identity quickly after his brain was fully developed and he could think independently in infancy, and then grew up step by step.
The first time he noticed the abnormality was of course because of the sudden magic riot.
There is no need to elaborate on the process at that time. Anyway, after that, he quickly accepted another new identity of his own – probably a little wizard.
He did not think that he was a mutant or awakened by superpowers – the feeling of magic riot was so clear, and this was England, so of course he would choose the most likely one among the many options that could explain the magic riot.
After he received the admission letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry when he was eleven years old, his parents, Michael and Emilia, also readily accepted this fact.
They didn’t make a fuss, nor did they regard their wizard son as an outlier.
It should be emphasized that the Trollope family is a pure Muggle family – Michael and Emilia run an antique shop together.
There are no wizards or squibs among their relatives or friends, and there are no hidden secret rooms or magical portraits in the house.
After Scott confirmed his guess about this world, he just felt a little sorry that he only had a brief outline of the story of “Harry Potter”, but he did not feel anxious about it.
He was not a fan of the “Harry Potter” series of novels and movies. In his previous life, he just read the entire series of novels one after another in his student days.
Even for the series of adapted movies that are popular all over the world, he only watched the first two when he was still young.
But he felt that he was lucky to still remember the outline, and he should smile at his outstanding memory – after all, it was amazing to still remember the general outline of the whole story after reincarnation after many years.
In short, Scott boarded the Hogwarts Express for the first time in 1989 when he was eleven years old, and was sorted into Ravenclaw by the Sorting Hat at the Sorting Ceremony.
He originally thought that his easy-going personality would be sorted into Hufflepuff by the Sorting Hat.
But he didn’t expect that the Sorting Hat could see that his intelligence was obviously more prominent than his easy-going personality.
It should be emphasized that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry does not have Legilimency for young wizards.
Neither the Sorting Hat nor Headmaster Dumbledore are obviously interested in the mediocre memory in the young wizard’s mind.
Scott believes that they can easily judge a person’s ability and character, so memory is not that important.
He knows that as long as he is a student who is not too out of line in school, no one will pay special attention to him.
On the contrary, if he is always suspicious and shows a strong sense of defense, he will be suspected of “there is nothing wrong here”.
Everything was just as he thought. Since entering the magical school life, Scott has safely spent three years as a wizard apprentice.
Woohoo…
The long whistle interrupted his thoughts, and the train started.
Scott came back to his senses, looked at the scenery that was constantly going away outside the window for a while, and then took out a book with a colorful cover from the backpack beside him.
“Holiday with the Hag”, written by Gilderoy Lockhart.
Lockhart was a person that Scott still had some impression of in his memory, and he was also the professor who was responsible for teaching them the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in this new school year.
Scott still remembered that he was a liar who was seeking fame and reputation. The plots in his book were stolen by casting memory spells on the real owners of those adventures.
However, although Lockhart was a fake, Scott felt that his book was still worth reading.
After all, except for the name of the protagonist in the book, the adventures themselves were all true. Otherwise, Lockhart would not have been able to obtain the honors that made him famous with these novels.
The train sped across the field, and Scott turned the pages of the book from time to time.
He did not read it very carefully, but just glanced through it quickly, and then took a pen to mark the really useful knowledge in the book.
Of course, he skipped all the paragraphs that Lockhart used to brag about himself.
When he was halfway through the book, he suddenly put down his pen and turned his head to look at the door of the compartment.
——Five seconds later, the door of the compartment was opened.
“Excuse me…” The little witch who was pulling the door stuck her head into the compartment and asked hurriedly, “Have you seen Harry Potter and Ron Weasley today?”
Scott saw that she had thick brown hair and a pair of big front teeth.
He knew this girl, the little partner of “Savior” Harry Potter – Hermione Granger.
