001 A little trouble in life
For Lawrence. Luo Fande said that his life at the age of 13 is always full of troubles. In addition to the boring whispers in his ears, what bothers him is also his amazing memory. He has complete memories from birth to the present. For ordinary people, this may be a warm and touching memory, but he would rather he never recall it.
Of course, the biggest trouble for him at this stage may be due to the endless mischief thoughts of the Weasley twins and a piece of shabby parchment paper. At this time, the car door was opened and the Weasley twins pushed the door in,
"Hey, Lawrence," said one of the twin brothers: "How was the summer vacation?"
"Hi, George," Lawrence did not look up and carefully studied the worn parchment in his hand: "Stay in the orphanage as usual."
"Don't Mr. Ollivander want you to be an apprentice? Also, I'm Fred, not George."
"Oh, you're George. I'm busy studying this thing this summer." Lawrence raised the parchment in his hand, but remembered the scene of walking into the Ollivander's wand shop for the first time, and the room was full of wands. He couldn't help but shivered.
"How did you tell me this time?" Fred and George looked at each other in surprise. Since the twin brothers became sensible, their mischievous tricks have always failed in Lawrence.
Lawrence did not answer, but took out his wand and tapped the parchment, but judging from his expression, it seemed that he had failed again.
"I swear here that I am absolutely unkind. (Note 1)" Fred took out his wand and poked the parchment paper and said, "Where the wand touched, thin ink lines intertwined into a map of Hogwarts. It can be seen that since the students had not arrived at the school, the black spots on the map were very sparse and felt very deserted.
"No matter how many times I look at it, I feel it's different." George excitedly took the map he obtained in his first grade.
"But I just want to understand how this thing works." Lawrence frowned and stared carefully at the small black dots representing different characters on the map and the cursive names below.
"Stop ignoring this incomprehensible problem, Lawrence." Fred took the map from Lawrence and said softly: "The prank is completed."
"If you always frown, you will easily cause wrinkles." George continued,
"This makes you look a little melancholy." Fred folded the map and put it in his pocket.
"But maybe the melancholy Lawrence also has many girls who like it?" George winked at Fred.
"Is this your secret to your popularity?" Fred looked at George with a sudden realization.
"That's just to ask about homework. What's the popularity?" Lawrence said embarrassingly.
"Come on your fortune-telling homework?" George said, "I thought you were a third-year student like us?"
"We must have misunderstood George," Fred said. "A man came to ask with his divination homework. Lawrence must be in the fourth grade now." (Note 2)
"Very interesting." Lawrence gave up his defense and picked up "Today's Transformation" on the side and opened it to read it, (Note 3)
"Don't look at things like this that ordinary people can't understand," Fred said. "In fact, we need your help."
"It's just a little busy, for you." George promised,
"Prank?" Lawrence asked keenly,
"A little stimulation." George nodded for sure.
"Add more fun in life for everyone." Fred added,
Lawrence sighed and closed the brick book that even the seventh-grade student might not understand. Although he always complained that the twin brothers brought him a lot of trouble, including carrying out or planning various pranks or labor services, he couldn't deny that he really enjoyed it.
"That's how it's happening." Fred knew Lawrence agreed, "just a while ago."
"We bid farewell to my dear mother and the adorable little Ginny on the platform," George said.
"Avoid Percy's supervision," Fred said, "after saying hello to Ron and his new friend Harry Potter."
"Wait, which Harry Potter?" Lawrence couldn't help but interrupt the question of Fred and George, who sang together.
Fred and George looked at each other,
"Lawrence..." George's expression was strange, "Are you interested in Harry Potter?"
"Very curious." Lawrence said affirmatively that he survived after being hit by the life-seeking curse. What's even more strange is that there is a scar on his head. The life-seeking curse has never left any scars since the record.
"Oh...oh my god." Fred said, "No wonder you are not interested in so many girls, it turns out..." George looked like he suddenly realized,
Lawrence was speechless and cast two silent spells as fast as possible, and then reopened the book "Today's Transformation".
"..." The twin brothers who could not speak and were not familiar with how to cast silently can only look at Lawrence,
Lawrence, who was stared at, had to lift the spell. Unexpectedly, as soon as the spell was lifted, Fred asked with his hands on his chest and said with a scared expression: "Do you think there will be danger for us two, George?"
"Enough, I have normal sexual orientation, thank you for your concern." Lawrence growled,
"Don't do that, Lawrence," George said seriously. "We don't discriminate against homosexuality."
"But don't treat us as a target..." Fred immediately changed the subject wisely when he saw Lawrence lifting his wand: "After saying hello, we came to the central car."
"At this point, our good roommate Lee Jordan is showing off how big his new hairy spider is." George grinned, "What do you want to do if you are?"
"Let it be bigger?" Lawrence also smiled.
"That spider doesn't look moving," George added,
"When it gets bigger, runs around excitedly?" Lawrence responded with a smirk, touching his chin.
"This must be done secretly, Lee Jordan will be alert to us when he sees us." Fred expected the situation,
"If there is no invisible cloak, use the magic body spell?" Lawrence proposed the solution.
"We need your help, Lawrence." Fred said seriously, his expression as if Professor McGonagall was in class.
"Happiness is at its peak." Lawrence responded with a smile.
"I'm responsible for amplifying the furry little guy, and Fred is responsible for making it run around excitedly." George assigned the job carefully. "Lawrence, you must cast two other spells to prevent us from failing," Lawrence.
"Then." Fred took out his wand,
"Let us." George also took out his wand.
"The prank begins." Lawrence raised the wand that he was already holding. The tip of the wand of the three people touched lightly, and sparks appeared. The next second, Lawrence waved the wand, and the three people disappeared into the carriage. The carriage door was pulled open and closed by invisible hands.

"Let me see, let me see." "Open quickly and open quickly."
plum. Jordan enjoyed the crowd's onlookers, while he was busy covering the small box and opening it again. Every time the lid was opened, there were always boys screaming excitedly and girls who couldn't tell whether it was excitement or fear. No one noticed that the door of the central car was quietly opened.
"Don't close the door." Lawrence whispered, "Save the road to retreat smoothly."
"Do you want to lock the door on the other side?" George asked whispered,
"Lock." Fred agreed without hesitation,
"You can lock it, but you should move quickly when you retreat. When they find that the door on one side is locked, they will riotically rush towards the door here." Lawrence thought farther, "Be careful not to play with yourself."
George carefully avoided the crowd and locked the door on the other side with his magic wand, and then returned to this side.
"Get the opportunity, and when the next time the lid is opened, I will do it. Regardless of whether the spell is successful or not, George, you can retreat to the toilet outside our carriage. Fred and I will go back to the carriage first." Lawrence arranged the retreat plan,
At this time, Li, who didn't know that the disaster was coming. Jordan opened the lid under the urging of everyone.
"Do it!"
The spell passed four rays of light in the carriage, hitting a student watching and hitting Li. Jordan, two accurately hit the spider in the small box,
This time there was a scream and shouting that was definitely not excitement. Before the three of them escaped from the car, they saw: the student who was accidentally hit by George and had an abnormally magnified head and his face expression was frightened, and Lee was accidentally hit by Fred. Jordan was surprised at first and then excitedly grabbed the huge spider that was enlarged by Lawrence at least ten times and ran around excitedly. He found that the door was locked and scared, and more people screamed and rushed to the car door that was not closed.
"Okay, stop laughing, retreat."
The prank trio laughed unabashedly, after all, the scene was chaotic and screaming everywhere, and no one would notice three invisible people laughing.
When the chiefs of the chief carriage arrived to solve the problem, the trio had already been on the way to retreat as planned.

Just as Fred and Lawrence returned to the private room and sat down, after Lawrence opened "Today's Transformation" again, Percy opened the private room door with a touch, stared at them and asked, "Where has George been?"
"Look for me?" George poked his head out of the toilet outside the box and looked at Percy in confusion.
Percy's expression went from being angry to being confused, and he closed the door of the box.
George returned to the carriage, the three of them looked at each other and laughed, took out their wands, touched the tips, and sparks appeared.
"The prank is completed."

Note 1: Many translations of the mainland version are different from those of Taiwan. I searched the physical books online because I am not on hand. Generally, I will use the mainland version translation. After all, most of them are read by mainlanders. However, I think the Taiwanese version translation is better here, so I use the Taiwanese version translation. If you encounter the same situation in the future, you can compare it with me, but if you don’t understand it, you can react to me and I will try to improve it.
Note 2: This is wrong with the age at the beginning. Later I thought that the twins had to go to Harry's fifth grade to the seventh grade, and Diggory was the first grade older than the twins.
