When Harry got his glasses back, the damaged parts had already been repaired.
The entire pair looked factory-new.
“That’s amazing!!” Harry’s eyes widened.
“You…
are you also…” “I’m a wizard, just like you.” Elavin smiled lightly.
He’d give himself full marks for that bit of showing off.
“So you really are a wizard too!” After putting his glasses back on, Harry’s vision became clear again.
The moment he saw Elavin’s face clearly, surprise and excitement immediately filled his expression.
He looked like a pigeon eating bread in a public square that had finally found another one of its kind to fly around with, bomb pedestrians from above with, and steal fries together.
“But how did you just…
I mean…
without a wand…” “Which part?
That was non-verbal, wandless spellcasting!” Elavin curled his lips slightly.
“That’s basic entry-level stuff.” “If you can’t even do that, then once you get to school, you’ll only be fit for scrubbing toilets and feeding animals.
They won’t even let you study magic.” What?!
Harry was instantly stunned.
Up until now, he didn’t even know a single spell.
Forget something like “non-verbal, wandless spellcasting.” So that meant his future life at Hogwarts…
Just as Harry was desperately comforting himself with the thought that “at least it’ll still be better than living with the Dursleys,” another unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out beside him like a sudden jolt to the head.
“Hey, kid!” “Your joke clearly scared him.
That’s not very nice!” Harry hurriedly looked up and saw the short, plump woman who had been walking ahead of him earlier, along with most of her red-haired children, had somehow arrived beside him.
“Oh ho~ Madam, no need to play the hero so quickly.” Elavin had actually noticed the Weasley family approaching long ago.
Earlier, when he startled Harry badly enough that his glasses flew off, Harry’s shout had already attracted their attention.
Mrs.
Weasley had always been attentive and warm-hearted.
The moment she saw the things on Harry’s luggage cart, she guessed he was a first-year student, and noticed he was alone.
So she intentionally slowed down with her children and waited nearby in case he needed help.
As a result, she overheard the prank Elavin was pulling on Harry.
“I don’t think this guy is timid enough to get scared by a little joke.” Elavin waved his hand casually with a smile.
“Besides, a harmless prank is the fastest way for new classmates to become friends, isn’t it?” “Uh…
yeah…
I guess so…” Harry was still somewhat confused, but seeing Elavin’s calm expression and amused tone, he realized things probably weren’t that serious.
Poor clueless kid…
Mrs.
Weasley rubbed her forehead helplessly before patting Harry on the shoulder sympathetically.
“You must be a new student this year, dear?” “Don’t worry too much.
Hogwarts would never make students scrub toilets or feed animals.” The moment she said that, the red-haired twins could no longer hold themselves back.
“No, no, Mum, you don’t know.
Sometimes they actually do.” “That’s right.
We’ve both been punished like that before.” Mrs.
Weasley’s expression instantly changed.
“George!
Fred!
Shut your mouths!” The Weasley twins really had scrubbed toilets and fed animals at Hogwarts before.
But that was only because they had caused trouble and received detention.
That was exactly why Mrs.
Weasley hurried to stop their joking before they frightened this poor boy who knew absolutely nothing about Hogwarts yet.
But instead of shutting up after being scolded, the twins became even more excited.
The two quickly rushed over to Elavin and boxed him in between them.
“Hello there, I’m George.” “And I’m Fred.” “We saw your magic just now.” “You’re incredible!” “You can actually cast magic without speaking or using a wand?” “Even if it was only a simple Reparo…” “That’s still seriously impressive.” “Can you tell us how you did it?” The two spoke one sentence after another without leaving the slightest pause between them.
Together, they sounded like a single person speaking with almost 3D surround sound.
“It’s easy.
You just need more practice.” “If you want to learn, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to exchange pointers once we get to school.” “Besides the Repair Charm, I know a few other spells too.” “Trust me, they’re fun.” The twins exchanged a glance.
All four eyes lit up at the same time.
“George, I think we’ve found ourselves competition this term!” “Yeah, Fred!
Our title as the Kings of Pranks might not be safe anymore!” “But I think this year is going to be really fun.” “Definitely way more fun than the last two years!” While the twins latched onto Elavin, Harry walked beside Ron under Mrs.
Weasley’s guidance.
“So…
what you said earlier was just a joke, right?” Harry finally asked the question that had been weighing on him the most.
Growing up with the Dursleys, Harry had never believed adults were people he could rely on.
Whenever something happened, he instinctively tried to deal with it himself.
But Mrs.
Weasley’s behavior earlier — stepping in to help him, along with her warm and caring attitude — made Harry feel that maybe she was someone he could trust.
“Of course it was a joke!” “Hogwarts doesn’t have any kind of test for non-verbal, wandless spellcasting.
There aren’t many people in the entire wizarding world capable of doing that!” But after saying those words, even Mrs.
Weasley herself fell silent.
That’s right…
There were barely any wizards capable of silent, wandless magic in the entire wizarding world.
Yet this boy, who hadn’t even started school yet, could already do it?
Just who exactly was he?
After learning everything earlier had only been a joke, Harry visibly relaxed.
Then he immediately asked the second question that had been bothering him.
“Ma’am, do you know where Platform Nine and Three-Quarters is?
I’ve been looking everywhere for it…” “Of course!” “See it?
It’s right in front of you!” By the time they finished talking, the group had already arrived in front of Platforms Nine and Ten.
Mrs.
Weasley pointed toward the stone wall between the two platforms before turning to another son she had neglected the entire time.
“Percy, you go first.
Give everyone a demonstration.” Without saying anything, Percy pushed his luggage cart straight toward the stone wall.
Just then, a large crowd suddenly walked past, cutting off everyone’s view.
By the time the last person passed, Percy had already disappeared.
Harry was just about to ask what had happened when the twins eagerly began explaining things to him and Elavin, who was also a first-year student.
“Those people who walked past just now were Ministry of Magic employees.” “They show up here every year when Hogwarts starts.” “Their main job is guiding new students…” “And distracting the Muggles.” “So later, don’t think too much about it.” “Just follow behind us and charge straight through.” ——————- Add the novel to your collection so you don’t miss future chapters.
