A Sensational Conversation

At 11:25, on the second-floor staircase of Hogwarts, Harry saw Dudley again. Ryan watched this scene with a smirk and a mischievous grin.

These two blood relatives, who grew up in the same house, both took a small step back upon seeing each other for the first time.

"Hey, so you're Dudley?" A tall boy with fiery red hair blocked Harry's way; this was Ron.

"Yes, I'm here to see Harry." Ron's appearance reminded Dudley of his purpose.

Harry was a little surprised. Ever since Dudley found out he was a wizard and Hagrid turned him into a pig's tail, he had never dared to speak to him again. This made Harry clear his throat every time he came downstairs to the living room, so that Dudley would know he was coming and give him time to scream and run out of the room.

"Oh, how dare you talk to me?" In the story Ron told him, Harry, who was like House-elf, now seemed more like the bully Darth Vader (the Gian).

Dudley, on the other hand, acted more like a more expensive version of Luke Walker (Nobita), timidly asking, "Severus Snape, Professor Snape, do you know Harry?"

"Are you out of your mind, Dudley? I don't have Potions Class until Friday," Harry said coldly, arms crossed.

"Mom said, Mom said, we can go to him if anything happens at school. He's Mom's friend, a friend we've known since we were little. In terms of relationship, your mom is especially close to him," Dudley stammered, then ran towards the Great Hall as if he had done something very tiring and desperately needed food to replenish his energy.

"Hey bro, something's off about you just now. Is that coward Darth Vader (Gian)?" Ron asked in surprise.

"Never mind that for now. My aunt has a wizard friend, and according to her, that wizard is also my mother's friend."

"But the wizard she mentioned, Snape, always looked at me with undisguised disgust," Harry said, puzzled.

"Let's go to the Great Hall first, dinner will be served soon." Seeing this, Ron quickly changed the subject.

However, the incident escalated much faster than expected.

After Harry and his group arrived at the Great Hall, all the young wizards present pointed and whispered about Harry. It seemed that the conversation on the stairs had been known to all the young wizards and had spread far and wide.

At that moment, Harry only wanted to draw his wand and cast an Obliviation Charm on everyone.

Everyone else was fine, but some Gryffindor acquaintances at the next table, such as the Weasley Twins Seamus, came over to ask for information, which annoyed Harry so much that he had to pretend he didn't know and keep stuffing sausages into his stomach.

However, Harry was unaware that all of this was caused by his elusive friend, Ryan.

Besides enabling Dudley to become a wizard, it was also Ryan who encouraged Dudley to muster the courage to tell Aunt Penny Harry. Dudley himself probably only thought it was because he had become a wizard and overcome his fear.

But he didn't know that without Ryan, he would have waited until there was no one else around before saying anything.

"Ryan?" Ryan was grinning mischievously, thinking of his next idea to solve his boring school life, when a warm body that wouldn't elicit any subconscious resistance from Ryan approached. It was Kate.

"Kate, didn't we say we'd pretend we don't know each other at school? Besides, on a conscious level, we're practically together all the time." Ryan sighed and facepalmed, activating Smith's stealth ability to its fullest extent.

"Ryan, you always have a way."

"Besides, I discovered your secret, that Hermione, she shouldn't have noticed you."

"Also, I've seen you touching her inappropriately every time."

"What if I told Penelope?" Kate whispered in Ryan's ear, her breath hot against Ryan ear.

"Speak, what is your request?" Ryan suddenly became indifferent, then appeared behind Kate and lifted her up.

"Atlantis, I'm going to Atlantis this weekend." Kate didn't speak, but recited it in her mind with practiced ease, knowing that Ryan could hear her.

"Okay, that's perfect, I haven't been there in ages."

"By the way, Kate, which sect are you planning to choose for the game this afternoon, Emei Sect or something else?"

Time is like a shooting star, fleeting in an instant.

It wasn't until almost 1:10, just before class started, that Harry finally dawdled out of Ravenclaw's common room with Ron, ready to go to the afternoon session of A History of Magic.

This time, Harry cleverly brought along the Skywalker's latest book, "Doraemon: Dinosaur Kingdom," which he had obtained from the Weasley Twins, so Ron and Harry could read it together for the second time.

The other students in Ravenclaw also brought all sorts of extracurricular books, mostly various volumes of "Doraemon".

Hermione, standing to the side, was furious, but she had no right to criticize, as she herself was almost asleep during the A History of Magic.

He quickly pulled Ryan aside and asked him for the secret to attending the class. How did Ryan manage to take more complete notes than he did before?

However, Ryan himself was one of those who slept in class before, and even worse, he brought a pillow to class. The notes were just a tool that Ryan specially crafted to convert speech into text, specifically for slacking off.

His deep-seated aversion to the A History of Magic, combined with Professor Binns's lullaby, meant that without the panel, Ryan would be unable to concentrate on the lectures and would fall asleep as soon as the A History of Magic began, just like all the previous Smith.

"Hermione, I have a spell here that you can try, Mind-Clearing Charm '!" Ryan quickly created a spell on the spot and told Hermione the incantation.

Wiping away non-existent cold sweat, Ryan had no choice but to further minimize his presence, and with a hint of regret, he pulled his left hand out of Hermione's grasp.

Thus, in the A History of Magic, those who needed to catch up on sleep caught up on sleep, and those who needed to study studied.

To Ryan's surprise, Hermione quickly grasped the basics of the spells he taught Ryan, which made Hermione unusually clear-headed during the second half of the course. She took notes, which were probably the most detailed and neat notes on the A History of Magic ever taken by any student in the entire course.

Meanwhile, Ryan, naturally, drifted off to sleep in a corner of the A History of Magic classroom, examining the new bug in his mind—a bug in a martial arts game.

Two hours later, everyone emerged from the A History of Magic class, looking refreshed and careful not to miss any staircases or the direction of their turns.

"Harry, it's a real shame, the Skywalker comics have audio."

"In class, we can only watch it; I haven't had enough of its theme song yet."

"Who do you think voiced Mara Jade (Mara Jade)? Is she as beautiful as she is in the manga?" Ron asked.

"Ron, I have a question. Skywalker's comics are comparable to Magical Drawing, and they can even talk, yet they only cost 2 Galleons. Why are the other books so expensive?" Harry asked.

"It depends on the publishing company. For example, Little Red Books Publishing Company, which published Bathilda Bagshot's A History of Magic, Obscurus Publishing Company, which published Newt Scamander's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, are both good companies. Their books are very cheap."

"Moreover, Skywalker himself was an excellent Alchemy, and this is the technology he invented. It is said that Obscurus Publishing Company is preparing to collaborate with Skywalker to re-release an audio version of 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'."

"This way, young wizards can better avoid dangerous Care of Magical Creatures by sound," Ron explained.

Thank you to Yuchi Jinyin for the monthly pass, and to the other students for the recommendations.
