The small classroom of the Transfiguration Club.
Perhaps it was because they were all the same age, or maybe because the professor wasn't present, but the atmosphere here was quite pleasant.
"By the way! Is it just the two of you here? I initially thought there would be more people,...
Evening, third floor of the castle.
A cold corridor, only a hundred meters long, stretched out on the third floor. There were no classrooms, no professors' offices, not even a decent room in sight.
Thus, apart from the first half month of the school year, when a few energetic freshm...
Hogwarts
Time in this ancient castle, which has stood for a thousand years, seems to stretch gently by magic and be quietly scattered by the wind.
Two days, for the young wizards here, feel both long and short, like a peaceful dream.
In the morning, when the first ray of sunl...
Slytherin.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the common room was rather quiet, with only first and second-year students present. It was quite rare not to have classes this early in the morning.
In a corner of the common room, Ino sat quietly on the sofa. Beside him were two old books and...
Castle Hall.
It took about ten minutes for Hermione to explain the entire situation.
"We're stuck right now, and I suspect Lockhart has realized it. He's been looking at me strangely," Harry said, worried.
Seeing Harry's anxiety, Ino chuckled lightly: "Mr. Potter, I think you...
Hogwarts
In the dormitory, thick bed curtains were suddenly drawn back.
After changing into the plain robes of Slytherin, Ino opened the dormitory door and walked out towards the castle grounds.
The rewards from the recent adventure were truly exhilarating, but he couldn't sh...
Inside the small tavern room.
The oil lamp on the table was lit once more, along with two old, yellowed books.
"Resurrection Ritual Magic... Time Reversal!"
Ino marveled at the two books on the table.
This felt like buying a lottery ticket to get some change and then f...
Sophia's Tavern, a gem embedded in the heart of the ancient merchant town, glimmered with the light of ages.
The guest rooms, a hidden and cozy corner of this gem, offered a peaceful haven for weary merchants.
The light in the room was soft and dim.
On a bed made of rough clo...
At the top of the tower, a sunbeam spell quietly hovered in the air, providing a steady and bright light source for the room.
But in this brightness, the dilapidation of the room was clearly visible.
Holding the dice in his hand, Ino's expression relaxed. Even if the story was a bit...
Under the tower, Ino's mind was racing.
Although he found the situation strange, he had no evidence at the moment and could only proceed cautiously. He decided to enter the tower first and see what happened.
If things went wrong, he could always use his Animagus form to escape. Afte...
The second day in Kelin Town.
At the forest's edge, the dappled light and shadows cast everything in a half-lit glow.
Ino looked helplessly at the eager Grimm brothers.
Just yesterday, after they saved the little girl from the mud monster, the town mayor had hired them for 15...
Kelin Town
An old carriage was making its way through the small town.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped by the roadside, and three young men emerged from its shabby interior.
After Ino took a silver coin out of his pocket and handed it to the driver, he began to observe the town...
In the dimly lit tavern, Wilhelm's words blew past Ino's ears like a breeze, leaving him somewhat unprepared.
"So, is there a difference?" Ino's voice carried a hint of curiosity as he tried to digest this sudden piece of information.
"There's a huge difference!" Jacob, who had been...
In the small tavern of Merchants' Town, at a corner table.
Ino's gaze was fixed on the two young men sitting opposite him, their appearances strikingly similar.
Although he had grown familiar with them, he still felt a sense of incredulity.
In this fantastical journey, encoun...
On the vacant land beside the town.
Ino glanced around and then walked toward the bakery.
Of course, if he were an adult, he would have gone straight to the tavern to get the basic information here.
But although he had suddenly shot up to about 1.6 meters tall this year, his ...
Dormitory Classroom
After hearing Bulstrode's question, Ino felt a headache coming on.
It's hard to imagine that these second-year students, only thirteen or fourteen years old, already possess such analytical abilities. If they continue to develop like this as they grow up...
Slytherin Dormitory
Ino quietly used the Water-Making Spell to clean the branches and leaves of his potted plants. The green leaves became even more translucent, like the rising sun, brimming with vitality.
After watering the plants as usual, he sat quietly on a nearby chair.
Outside Hogwarts Castle.
Professor McGonagall stood by the Black Lake, pleased, and said, "It went more smoothly than I imagined, and it's even a rare black swan. You can move around now, in the lake or the sky, your choice. I'll be waiting here for you to transform back!"
Hearing t...
Back in the Slytherin dormitory.
Ino opened the sealed wooden box, took out the Animagus potion inside, then picked up the Felix Felicis next to it. Without a second thought, he uncorked the bottle and drank it in one gulp.
The Felix Felicis entered his mouth, bringing a cool sensat...
Slytherin Dormitory
"So, you're saying you not only hung Harry upside down but also Ron?" Ino asked curiously, looking at Draco.
This conversation happened about fifteen minutes ago when Draco, looking very pleased with himself, had pushed open the dormitory door and started eagerly...
After arranging a meeting with Professor McGonagall, Ino returned to his dormitory with his certificate and prize money.
While waiting for a thunderstorm, he also planned to lie low for a while.
Since the start of the school year, he had felt a sense of complacency, perhaps influenc...
"Dear Mr. Ino Swinburne, we are pleased to inform you that your transfiguration paper, 'The World as a Whole,' has won the Best Newcomer Award for Transfiguration Papers in 1992..."
The letter was brief, and Ino quickly skimmed through it. Although it didn't contain much useful information...
Hogsmeade, in front of Dervish and Banges' shop.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Davis!" Ino greeted softly as he walked into the shop.
"Welcome to Banges' Repair... Hmm?" Davis stopped mid-sentence, narrowing his eyes as he carefully examined the person before him. "Polyjuice Potion? Who are ...
With no Tom and no Basilisk, the Halloween feast in the second year was exceptionally lively.
Everyone did their best to enjoy themselves, as curfew on the night of the feast was extended until midnight. After all, the next day was Halloween, a traditional holiday where Hogwarts gave stude...
The history of magic class had ended. Although Professor Binns' answers were somewhat unreasonable, when had magic ever been reasonable? Perhaps only Alchemy had some semblance of reason.
That evening.
The sweet smell of pumpkin filled the entire castle, signifying that Halloween ha...
n the endless river of time, it seems as if time itself is a silent painter, quietly illustrating the changes of the world with delicate strokes.
As time passes, those moments that once burned with passion and stirred the heart gradually lose their original brillia...
In the dimly lit basement corridor, Ino walked alone towards the Slytherin dormitory, pondering his plans for the weekend.
Buying books was easy enough; he could simply write to the bookstore, and the owl would bring the required amount of Galleons. However, to commission a musical instrum...
Hogwarts Potions Classroom.
Unlike the apprehension he felt the first time he came here, Ino was somewhat relaxed now. Perhaps this was the confidence that magic brought him.
Although he still couldn't overpower Snape, after a year, he felt he had gained the ability to face him more...
As Wood's words fell, a smaller boy squeezed out from the Slytherin team.
With platinum blonde hair and a pale face bearing a faint smile, Draco had been waiting for this moment to appear under the spotlight.
He first scanned the crowd opposite him, locking onto two targets: Scarhea...
The Slytherin dormitory, with its emerald green decor, looked simple and soothing.
A clock quietly hung on the wall, with its second hand moving slowly, making a subtle and even "tick-tock" sound.
"Ino, although... I mean, although you're right, today is my first time participating ...
