章 1: Chapter 1: Leaving Sculler.
"Haa~ I'm finally on this train,"
Solim said with mixed feelings as he looked at the little wizard hurrying outside the train, "Hogwarts is more comfortable than that deadly school."
"I knew that there would be an accident at Hogwarts every year for the next few years, but it was better than the Heart Drill and Imperius Charms that I had to take once a month in another school."
Solim couldn't help but think back to the bits and pieces of the past eleven years.
According to his grandfather, he had been gouged out of the belly of his mother, who had been struck by the Killing Curse, which caused a great shock in some circles at the time. Solim was still alive at the time, not to mention that the fetus was inside the mother's womb, The baby in the belly should have also died. But Solim understood: the real Solim was dead. And he, in addition to inheriting this body, also inherited a lot of troubles.
Solim Ogelbashir Selwyn was not qualified to use the surname Selwyn in the first place. Solim is said to be an illegitimate child, the child of the current patriarch of House Selwyn and another witch. Until now, Solim had no information other than knowing that his mother was a witch, and everyone he knew had no memory of his mother.
Solim was able to take the surname Selwyn because of his grandfather, an old man who attached great importance to the continuation of the family line.
Truth be told, Solim had no intention of avenging the body's biological mother. But he still has gratitude for it. After all, without her, there would be no Solim now. Not having an idea of revenge doesn't mean that he doesn't want to figure out the ins and outs of the matter, a pregnant woman who is about to give birth is killed, and there is an illegitimate child of the patriarch of a large family in her belly, Solim thinks that even the chair under his ass can figure out who this most motivated killer could be. Solim never thought that such a bloody thing would happen to him.
Solim has two older brothers and a younger sister, both of whom are the children of the legitimate Lady Selwyn. The eldest brother Dax is a young man full of violence, the second brother Sabiantis is a lifeless stuffy, and the youngest sister Syrna can basically be confirmed to be a squib. In pure-blood families, nine-year-old children who haven't had a magical riot are basically Squibs.
It's not for nothing that pure-blood wizards pay attention to the purity of their bloodlines, and Solim has been in contact with the wizarding world for eleven years. He knew how much of an impact the timing of the Magical Riot could have on a wizard's future. Think of Neville in the original book, who hasn't rioted at the age of eight, and his uncle thinks he's a squib and hurriedly throws Neville off the stairs.
His little sister, who was smart, kind, lovely, and understanding, had the best relationship with Solim among Mrs. Selwyn's children. Look at his eldest brother and second brother, one is a violent maniac who does not agree with each other, and the other is an autism who can't make a fart with three slaps.
However, Solim knew that they could not be blamed for this, after all, the brothers were from the same school before Solim came to Hogwarts. The gifted little kids of a pure-blooded family like theirs would go to that so-called Sculler School within a week of the Magical Riot. Then, starting at the age of seven, he was subjected to the Heart Piercing Curse and the Imperius Curse once a month. Although the people who cast the spell are all unknown to the outside world, the degree of spell casting is the minimum that the young wizards can bear. But think about it, the little wizards over the age of seven in this school have to be tortured twice a month, how can a person with such an experience still be a normal person? And as you get older, the power of the Imperius and Imperius Curses increases, and there is an additional punishment for young wizards who do not break free from the Imperius Curse within the allotted time or do not recover from the torture of the Emperius Curse within the allotted time.
The students of Sculler knew why they were subjected to such torture and knew that it would be good for them to be tortured in such a controlled situation in the school, all in preparation for the future work and career of the students who were qualified to enter the school.
Solim knew it, too, but he didn't want to go through that and didn't want to do that kind of work in the future, not to mention that his so-called "qualifications" were given by his grandfather. He wasn't a descendant of the Selwyns—even though he had the surname Selwyn. That's why Solim had the opportunity and the possibility to leave that school, though he knew that leaving the school would result in losing a lot of magical knowledge that wouldn't be passed on. But compared to Sculler's dark and oppressive atmosphere, Hogwarts is more attractive than the sunny energy. What's more—Solim raised his eyes and glanced at the boxes on the shelves which he had placed there by the levitation charm.
'No one thought me so I learned by myself.'
"So, Solim, I, I..." A little fat man appeared at the door of the cabin, pulling a box that looked heavy at first glance with one hand, and clutching an ugly-looking toad tightly in the other...
"Come on, Neville, sit down, and put your boxes away." Solim held out a finger and pointed at the shelf, "Also, don't be too nervous, I won't eat you again, relax your hand, or your toad will be pinched to death by you." Solim rolled his eyes, helpless.
It was not surprising that Solim knew Neville, as they were relatives, and Solim's grandmother and the wife of Neville's grandfather's brother were sisters. When Solim knew that the little fat man in front of him was his cousin, he thought that if he really wanted to tie up, he didn't know how many relatives he had in Hogwarts.
As Neville dragged his suitcase into the cabin, Solim saw that ... behind Neville.. something looked like Seaweed. Well, it's the hair, the unkempt brown hair, and a slightly freckled little face.
"Hurry up Neville, there are people behind you." Solim and the little girl standing in the doorway watched Neville cramped, pulling the box in one hand and holding the toad in the other, bewildered.
"So, Solim, can you hold ..." Neville blushed, and finally managed to hold back a sentence, but was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"No, I only touch such a disgusting thing when I'm dealing with potion materials." Solim looked at the toad in Neville's hand with disgust, "But I can help you put your luggage."
"Oh my God, how did you do that?" the little girl standing in the doorway stared at Solim's right hand, which was not holding a wand, with a look of disbelief, and then at the boxes that were already on the shelves. "The levitation charm, I've seen it in books, but I didn't expect a little wizard to do it without a wand." The freckled girl made a fuss.
"Do you need me to help you? Miss? and Neville, the boxes are all up, what are you doing there like a wooden pestle? Sit down and don't block the way." Solim looked at Neville, who had just been hit on the head, and turned his head to help the little girl put the luggage away.
"Alright, sit down, Miss Fuss, won't you introduce yourself?" waved his hand to close the cabin door, "Let me introduce myself, I'm Solim Selwyn, and sitting next to you is Neville Longbottom." Solim lifted his chin to signal that it was her turn.
"I'm not Miss Fuss, my name is Hermione Granger." The little girl wrinkled her nose, dissatisfied with Solim calling herself a fuss Miss.
Hermione Granger, it's not too hard to guess, is it?
"Well, I apologize," Solim said insincerely.
"But how did you do that? The book says that casting spells without a wand is a very advanced skill."
Hermione is Hermione, and the way she speaks is "Hermione".
"Magic and time." Solim opened a tome that had been placed on the table. He wanted to read the book for a while, and then talk to Neville after the train had been going for a while.
"What?" Hermione clearly didn't understand what Solim was saying.
"Plenty of magic and a lot of practice time that varies from person to person." Solim continued to flip through the book, "By the way, Neville, I'll talk to you later." "
"Huh, what?" Neville was visibly deserting, startled at Solim calling his name.
Solim rolled his eyes at Neville's appearance.
Neville is a good boy, there's no doubt about that. He was only a little cowardly because of what happened to his parents and the tremendous pressure exerted by his grandmother, but when he overcame these shackles that shackled him, the courage buried deep in his heart would rush out. Solim decided to help him, and Solim really liked this dumb little man.
"Well..." Hermione hesitated, "Is there anything you want to talk that is inconvenient for me to hear?" Hermione thought it was inconvenient for her to hear Solim say that he was going to talk to Neville later. "Then I can go out for a walk. "
"You're thinking too much, Miss Granger." Solim, who was reading with his head down, raised his eyelids and glanced at Hermione, "I didn't mean to avoid you while talking to Neville later, but I don't like to be interrupted when I'm talking." Solim paused, raised his head and closed his book, his eyes looking through the glass into the hallway, "Because a young master who has been spoiled by the family will come to this cabin soon, I have to send him away first." "
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the box was opened. There were only three people outside, but it gave people the feeling that the corridor outside was blocked.
"Ah, Solim, good to see you, Ah! this Navelle..." A small pale face with pale blonde hair appeared at the door of the box.
"Draco." Solim sat in his seat and looked at the little boy in the doorway, warning in his eyes.
Hermione looked at the three people who were almost blocking the corridor outside the door, and immediately understood that this was what Solim said about "the eldest young master who was spoiled by the family".
"Okay, okay," Draco clearly read the warning in Solim's eyes, "I'm going to find Potter, are you coming?".
"No I'm not, you shouldn't go as well and you don't have to search for him," Solim glanced at Draco again, then opened the book he had just closed and continued, "Potter and the red-haired one are in a cabin, you can see them as you go forward, and according to your personality, you will definitely quarrel with them, so it's still ...."
"Red-hair?! Weasley?! What is he doing with him!? Lets go"
There were three fewer people, and the light in the hallway was bright again.
"Uh, so that was ..." Hermione stood up to close the door.
"That's right, Draco Malfoy, a spoiled young master. As for the other two... Well, you don't need to know them," Solim stopped Hermione from closing the door, "don't close the door yet, we'll have to open it again later." Solim shrugged.
"By the way, he didn't bully you anymore, right, Neville?" Solim propped his chin on one hand and continued to read.
"No, no." Neville grabbed his toad with one hand and his clothes with the other. It looks like an air pack.
"Didn't I tell you, you still want to get into Gryffindor? Hufflepuff is pretty much the same. "
"Gryffindor, I know, that's the best house." Hermione was excited when she heard Gryffindor. Originally, she heard Draco say that Harry Potter wanted to talk about this.
"There is no such thing as the best, only the most suitable house." Solim decided to enlighten Neville, who was the best bag in the eyes of the bullying bear kids.
"But Dumbledore is Gryffindor's, and he is the greatest wizard of all." Miss Fuss was immediately unconvinced.
"Well, Miss 'I don't know where to hear it and believe it'," Solim changed his gaze to Hermione, "Headmaster Dumbledore aside, how much do you know about Hogwarts? The teachers who teach Potions, Herbs, Transfiguration, Charms, and Defence Against the Dark Arts are the same for all four houses, and how much you can learn and how much you can achieve depends on the individual, not the house. "
Originally, the educational resources are the same, and what you learn depends entirely on your talent and hard work. This is not like the school of Solim's original world, which is divided into elite classes and ordinary classes. The elite class has elite teachers, and the ordinary class has ordinary teachers, so it is understandable that you say this is good and that is not good when the educational resources are tilted. Hogwarts doesn't have things like that, and if you tell me that this house is the best, isn't that talking nonsense?
Hermione bit her lip and tried to refute, but didn't know how. In the end, a thousand words came together into one sentence: "I said my name is Hermione Granger, you! don't mess with my name anymore!"
At this time, not far from the corridor, there was a noisy voice from the eldest young master.
"Damn it, damn Potter, damn Weasley, I'm going to tell my dad. "
Solim rolled his eyes and looked at Draco who was standing in the doorway, it seemed that it was right not to close the door just now, otherwise, Draco might have broken the door in anger, although it could be repaired, but how troublesome it was.
"Merlin! Solim, you don't know what just happened, that Potter he ...."
"Okay, okay, I just told you, there's no need to go." Solim quickly interrupted the eldest young master's rambling, he still had something to do. "You should go back to your cabin now to calm down. If you want to clean up Weasley, you have a chance when you go to school. "
"Whew... Whew, yes, you're right, it's not worth getting angry with a Weasley. Hey you two, come with me." With two henchmen who had no presence from start to finish, Draco came out of Solim's cabin and took a breath before staggering back to his own cabin.
"Finally it's clean" Solim slammed the door shut, pulled out his wand in his left hand, lowered the curtain on the door, added a lock charm, and looked at Neville after making sure the cabin was tightly covered.
"Now, Neville, let's talk. "

章 2: Chapter 2: A new wand
Solim removed his chest/suitcase from the shelf and pressed the ring on his right hand to the card slot on the chest. "Click" Then Solim's right hand spun like a lock, and the lid of the chest was flipped.
"It's ... Stairs?" Hermione stared at the scene in front of her with wide eyes, she couldn't understand why Solim opened the suitcase and there was a staircase going down. It was clear that this little witch who had just come into contact with the wizarding world could not yet comprehend the scene in front of her.
"Come on, Neville, and ... Well, Hermione." Solim looked at Hermione as she was fussing, and almost called out the nickname he had given her.
Solim then took the lead and stepped over the box and down the stairs.
"Oh my God, what is this? How is this done? Why is there such a big space in your suitcase? God, that's a bookshelf, so many books!, and there's a door there." Miss Fuss looked at everything in front of her and was stunned chanting the name of God as she was not yet accustomed to 'Merlin'.
Standing on the stairs reveals everything below:-
A space of at least eighty square meters, and four rows of tall bookshelves filled with books on the left side of the staircase. Near the corner of the wall, there is a place that is clearly used to read books. On the right side of the staircase is a four-poster bed with a gauze tent, and a closed door not far away.
"A permanent Traceless Stretching Charm, alright, don't talk about that yet," Solim interrupted Hermione's question, "Hermione, please don't tell anyone about my chest."
Solim led the two down the stairs to the bookshelf area on the left, as it was the only place with tables and chairs.
"Alright, sit down," Solim beckoned them to sit down, "*clap* Three cups of good black tea."
There were just three cups of black tea on the table in front of the three of them.
A good house-elf should be like this: Came, served tea then left without anyone seeing.
"Neville, I know your grandmother wants you to go to Gryffindor, but what do you think?" Solim looked at Neville.
"I ... I want to be like my parents." Neville wrung his hands - Solim had told Neville to put the toad in a box, and the door of the cabin was locked by Solim, so the toad couldn't get out anyway.
"Neville, I hope it's your own thoughts, not the pressure your grandmother put on you to make this choice, you know?"
"I know, but ... But I, I mean... I'm afraid I won't be able to get into Gryffindor, I know I'm cowardly, I'm worried ..." Neville looked like he was about to cry.
Hermione looked at Solim and Neville, not understanding what the two were saying.
"You can decide that you want to go to Gryffindor, and when the time comes, just tell the Sorting Hat that you want to go to Gryffindor." Solim took a sip of his tea, "Don't worry, you'll be in Gryffindor, after all, you meet the requirements." "
"Excuse me, Solim, what are you talking about? What do you mean by the Sorting Hat?" Hermione felt that if she didn't speak anymore, She was going to suffocate from the questions.
"Sorting hat, what else does the name suggest? A hat for sorting out the little wizards." Solim looked at Hermione with a look tinged with 'commonsense', "The professors will put that on you at the sorting ceremony, and it will tell you which house you're sorted into." "
"And you can tell that Sorting Hat to be sorted into the house you want?" Hermione was a little puzzled, if the Sorting Hat was going to sort according to her own wishes, then what was the Sorting Hat's purpose? Isn't that redundant?
"Not exactly, the Sorting Hat will assign young wizards to the best house for them." Solim began to explain to Hermione and Neville.
Neville is not smart, timid and a little cowardly, and it looks like Hufflepuff is where he belongs.
But what about the facts from the original story?
Neville's hidden courage led the Sorting Hat to put him in Gryffindor.
But don't forget, Neville is also a full-blood, so Slytherin is okay - after all, Goyle and Crabbe can do it. It's just that Neville himself never thought about Slytherin. Logically, the houses Neville can go to are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. At this time, the personal wishes of the little wizard are very important. That's why Solim told Neville to tell the Sorting Hat to go to Gryffindor.
Solim opened his mouth, " Naville can't go to Ravenclaw. But he can be sorted into Hufflepuff and Slytherin. I think he has what it takes to be a Gryffindor also.."
"I see, that is, a young wizard can choose his own house when he has a choice, right?".
"Yes, that's the way it is, and Hogwarts A History doesn't make it all clear," Solim said with a glance at an excited Hermione.
"And which house are you going to go to? Ravenclaw?" Hermione thought it must be a Ravenclaw based on the few hands Solim showed just now.
"No, I'll go into Slytherin." Solim knew that Hermione would be yelling next, but he said it anyway.
"Slytherin! You? I've heard that there are evil dark wizards out there, why do you want to go there?" Hermione's eyes changed when she heard that Solim was going to Slytherin.
"Seriously, Hermione, I'm really curious to know where you, a little Muggle-born witch, heard all this nonsense." Solim knew Hermione would say that, but he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Indeed, Voldemort was just as famous, just as Dumbledore was. When people think of Gryffindor, the first thing that comes to mind is the famous and well-known head of the International Confederation of Wizards, the chief warlock of the Wizengamot, the recipient of the Order of Merlin, and the headmaster of Hogwarts: Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore.
But when it comes to Slytherin, what wizards are there in Slytherin? Voldemort, the mystery man, the one who should not be named, the most terrifying dark wizard of all time. Of course, the word "ever" can be removed, as can the word "most terrifying". As a bastard of this special pure-blood family of Selwyn, Solim was able to learn a lot of history that ordinary wizards didn't know, as well as historical figures. He could be sure that Voldemort was far from the most terrifying Dark wizard of all time.
Solim knew a number of wizards who were more powerful, if not greater, than Voldemort. These wizards were almost all killed—once they had breached some kind of line, or were ready to break through some kind of line. As for those that are not easy to kill or inconvenient to kill, they are sealed, and there is a special wizarding organization in charge of guarding that seal. This is one of the reasons for the establishment of the Sculler School: to train and supply personnel for this wizarding organization.
"I don't deny the influence of that madman on Slytherin but don't generalize."
Looking into Hermione's eyes, Solim organized his words,
"It's true that Slytherin has a lot of bad wizards under the influence of that madman, but to say that the students are dark wizards?" Solim glanced at Neville and continued, "Slytherin has had its fair share of Aurors, and many of them died in the most chaotic years of the past to deal with that madman. Besides, Gryffindor also has a Dark Wizard, and Hermione you can't just hear some hearsay and think that Slytherin is a hub of Dark Wizards. Of course, I don't deny that many Slytherin wizards aren't good people but don't generalize." Solim stood up and walked to the side of the cupboard, ignoring Hermione and Neville, who were stunned at the word "Auror".
"Neville, here you go" Solim retrieved a slender box from the cabinet and placed it in front of Neville, "open it and you'll use this later, cherry wood, unicorn tail hair, it should suit you." "
"I ... I use Daddy's wand," Neville looked at the box in front of him, then looked up at Solim, "My grandma let me use it." "
"That's not for you, listen to me, use this root." Solim tapped his chin at the box with the wand on the table, and continued, "It's a complete waste of time to use a wand that doesn't suit you, I know what your grandmother means, and wants you to use a wand that doesn't suit you to exercise your abilities, but I think what you need right now is not ability, but confidence." "
Neville shuddered as he opened the box, knowing that he had never confiscated any gifts since he was a child. His toad was one, one from his uncle to celebrate his magical riot, and every candy wrapper given by Mother St. Mungo's every time he went to St. Mungo's. He has never received such a valuable item as a wand since he was a child, and he can really feel the care of the "little monster" in front of him in the mouth of his uncles and the reliable and responsible cousin in the mouth of his grandmother.
"Thanks, I'll use it well." Neville's eyes were red.
Hermione looked at Neville and then at Solim, not sure what to say.
"Come to me every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday after school starts, and I'll make sure you don't fall behind in school," Watching Neville accept his wand, Solim said, "I'll give you something 'extra' as long as you can keep up with the school on your own."
Neville with his submissive temperament looked at Solim while smacking his lips,
Solim was an illegitimate child, so the family wouldn't give him a monthly fee, he had to rely on himself. But Solim was much better than Neville, Neville's grandmother saw this, so she gave Solim a lot of Galleons, asking for her grandson to be trained well. Solim is the so-called short-handed, although they are relatives, but if Neville does not change at all in the future, it is not easy for him to account for Neville's grandmother. Thinking of this, Solim decided to give Neville a hard shot.
"Don't forget, Neville, the person who hurt your parents, the culprit who caused your family's current situation is still in Azkaban, that person is not dead yet, your enemy will come out sooner or later, don't you want to avenge your parents with your own hands?" Solim felt that hatred was not a good thing, but it had to be said that hatred can definitely motivate a person.
Neville looked up, his eyes still red. His hart just moved a little and there is hatred in his eyes.
"That's it, remember, come to me every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday night. Since the things are given to you, let's go up." Solim stood up, "By the way, Hermione, if you want, you can take a book on the first row of shelves on the left-hand side to relieve your boredom, and of course, you'll have to give it back to me when you're done." "
Solim's chest contained four rows of bookshelves, and only the books on the shelves pointed to Hermione did not contain magical spells, and there were no magical prohibitions on them.
"Really, that's great!" Hermione stood, scuffling to her feet, ready to run to the bookshelf.
"Alright Hermione, hurry up, we should go up." Solim picked up his teacup and drank it in one gulp.
Bring the people back to the cabin, store the boxes, and lift the lock spell. Solim glanced at Hermione, who sat down to read, and ...
"Neville, what are you pouting for?" asked Solim as he watched Neville pout his ass and reach under his seat.
"So-Solim... Trevor is gone!" Neville slammed his head on the table.
"That toad of yours, no way, this door hasn't been opened," Solim glanced at the window again, "the window is closed too, look for it."
Seriously, Solim doesn't understand what Neville's uncle means by giving a toad, you can send an owl, you don't want to spend money?— you can send a few bags of candy! what does it mean to send a toad?
"Really... It's really gone!" Neville scrambled to get up from the ground, "I've seen both the shelves and the floor. Solim, you have to help me.. "
"Well, I locked the door first, you put the toad in the box when we went down, and the window never opened, so why don't you have a toad?"
Could this toad be able to penetrate the wall?
"Alright, don't cry, Neville, I'll go with you to find your toad," Hermione spoke, realizing that Neville's cries wouldn't let her read quietly without finding his toad. Besides, since everyone is friends, it's not a big deal to do a favor.
"Thank you, Hermione," Neville said with a red face.
Watching the two of them leave the Cabin door, Solim shook his head and continued to rummage through his tome. "Speaking of which, it was the first meeting of the Iron Trio. "
If Solim remembers correctly, Neville couldn't find his toad on the train, and he wouldn't find it until he got to school. But the toad was by Neville's side. After thinking about it, Solim could be sure that the toad was in the box when they entered the chest, but the toad was missing when they came out. This made Solim a little intrigued,
"Now I really want to dissect and study it.. Is it a special bloodline, or is it like ..." Solim narrowed his eyes, "...the same as that mouse..? "
