Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

At the side of Gryffindor's long table, the air seemed to freeze.

If there is any college that hates writing, then the active and energetic cubs are definitely number one. Except for a few academic bullies like Hermione and Percy, most of them are most afraid of Paper homework is handed in.

"This is just the beginning of school? Is this a gift?"

Ron Weasley looked at the pile of books under the chair with a face of constipation, and said in disbelief.

After going through the summer "Big Sister’s Nail Course Counseling", Ron Weasley has been allergic to this kind of carefully wrapped pile of books. He has no idea why anyone would send it on such a happy day. book.

"Oh, wait! Guidro Lockhart, I know him—"

George Weasley glanced at the wizard with a hearty smile, then turned to look at his brothers.

"I remember my mother seemed to like his books very much, right? Fred, when I went to Diagon Alley this year, my mother seemed to have bought a set of this guy's novels. By the way, Ginny seemed to have brought some Ben to school—"

"It's not that guy, it's Professor Lockhart."

Percy Weasley frowned and corrected in a serious tone.

"If you reduce your time playing Quidditch and wizard chess and read those books carefully, you will understand that Professor Lockhart is different from those mediocre people. He is a great and respectable wizard. Besides—"

Percy took out a book casually, looked at the corner mark on the back of the book, and a touch of admiration appeared on her face.

"These books are not cheap at all. If you add them together, there are almost a dozen gold gallons. Think about how many students are in Hogwarts. To be honest, in my opinion, he might be more suitable for the new job. Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"Yes, as an official professor at Hogwarts, Professor Lockhart originally had the right to put these in the book list."

Bill Weasley nodded, glanced at the "A Grade" standing in the staff seat, and said in a complex tone.

"In fact, when you graduate from school, you will understand that when magical power is close, the art of speech and a certain ability to understand words are the most needed and scarce abilities in society for a wizard. ."

As "Gringotts Wizarding Bank-Senior Researcher-B-level", Bill Weasley understands the importance of "A-level" personnel in the organization and the meaning of this rank itself-irreplaceable, Strategic level is important and powerful.

Especially when Lockhart was still a containment expert sequence, it could better reflect the strength of this young wizard.

As for the cost issue mentioned by Percy Weasley, Bill was not so touched or shocked.

As an extremely important A-level member, Gilderro Lockhart does not need to consider money at all. Since the Gringotts Wizarding Bank was completely reverted to the power of Her Majesty the Queen, money is only a number for their level. That's it.

"Oh, no—"

Hermione Granger looked at the pile of books under the chair and said distressedly.

Knowing that Guidro Lockhart would come to Hogwarts to teach this year, she didn't beg her parents to replace her birthday gift with a full collection of Lockhart's works. She could use this opportunity to buy other books. , Or your favorite magic quill.

Unlike several other girlfriends who made a small profit by playing the "Black Demon Defense Year-end Assessment".

Hermione Granger’s only income comes from the clearance rewards and the income from articles published in "Hogwarts on the Bite of the Tongue" and "Singing the Devil" in the past year, most of which are gold plus Long is now stored in her Gringotts Wizarding Bank account-she has discussed with her parents, and she will be responsible for the school expenses.

"It's okay, Granger, so you can have two signed books."

Fred Weasley blinked at Hermione, grinning comfortingly.

"As far as I know, Professor Lockhart has a lot of fans in the magic world-I believe that many witches are willing to pay for a full set of novels signed by him. With your achievements, it should be easy to ask the professor to sign for you. Or you can give it to me and George when the time comes, and we will sell it for you, and then we will share the money together..."

"Don't even think about it, I won't sell it!"

Hermione Granger cast a blank glance at Fred Weasley, who was grinning, and said gruffly.

"I have already thought about it, and then put one set at home and one set in the school dormitory. Or wait until next year, take one set out of it and give it to the new students. I don't think such a good thing can be done every year. Encountered once."

"By the way, Sister Hermione, speaking of..."

Ginny Weasley raised her head, looked at Lockhart who was not far away, touched Hermione's elbow lightly, and whispered.

"Do you think that Mr. Lockhart is more handsome than the book..."

"It's true, it seems that compared to the previous cover, there is a touch of calmness and depth—"

Hermione glanced secretly at the wizard with a sunny smile, and happened to meet Lockhart's eyes.

The girl’s cheeks blushed slightly, but I don’t know if it’s an illusion. Within half a second, the genial smile on Lockhart’s face suddenly stiffened, and she quickly moved her gaze away from Hermione. Looked at Ravenclaw College.

Unlike the worry at Gryffindor College, the atmosphere at Ravenclaw is obviously much more relaxed.

Seeing the newly appointed handsome professor, there was a burst of excitement among the girls at Ravenclaw College. The girls looked at the young professor with brilliant blond hair quietly and excitedly, exchanging questions about his story.

In the crowd, Elena, like other girls, glanced at Lockhart casually.

Accompanied by the girl's eyes, Lockhart's ears sounded like a mosquito devil whispers.

"Mr. Lockhart, please remember what I said...otherwise...huh..."

"!!!"

Guidro Lockhart swallowed nervously and nodded helplessly.

Sometimes there are too many book fans, and it’s not all a good thing. You know, he just wanted to confirm what the dangerous targets that need to be avoided look like, so as not to be stuffed into the Huberian. Reaction furnace.

I hope he can beat Xenofilius Lovegood once next year in the guessing game.

After all, according to the rules set by Elena, the next time he wins in three games, as long as he wins the next game, he will win.

In this way, Mr. Lovegood can take over as the professor of the Hogwarts language and literature class, and he can sit at home leisurely, dealing with the affairs of "The Devil", and at the same time refreshing his own. This novel.

...

All in all, compared to the first two professors, Guidro Lockhart is obviously much more popular.

Not only the little witches, as adventurous heroes in the wizarding world, many boys, after reading the books written by Loha, will also worship and look forward to the magical experiences that are like saviors.

Therefore, after a short pause, there was a round of applause in the auditorium.

Amidst this, the applause from the long table of Ravenclaw College was extremely enthusiastic. Elena looked around at the excited little witches, squinted her eyes playfully, and the intriguing expression in her eyes became clearer. .

At the same time, Guidro Lockhart, who had been paying attention to the movement here, became more tense.

The young wizard looked at the academy flag curtain hanging down around the auditorium with uneasiness, as if he was on a hot oven. For the first time in his life, he had a strange wish-if everyone's attitude could be colder , Maybe it will be safer.

At this moment, he even hopes to hide in the dark, as he did a few months ago, to control the whole situation in an orderly manner.

"Finally, there is one more thing—"

Fortunately, Professor Dumbledore began to speak again, and Lockhart was finally relieved.

"I think everyone may have noticed that in this year's Hogwarts, there are still a group of familiar faces returning to the classroom. No matter which graduates you are, in the next year, you will all belong to the same A class - and I, Professor Apocalis, and Professor Newt Scamander, will be your instructors for the next year."

Dumbledore turned his head and blinked at Bill Weasley, Charlie Weasley, and a dozen other carefully selected Hogwarts "outstanding graduates", and said with a smile.

"But... your course starts from the second week-in fact, on the one hand because of Professor Scamander and other things, on the other hand, because before the start of the formal course, you still need to participate with the freshmen A training."

"...Training? We, with freshmen?"

Charlie Weasley repeated a little confused.

At the same time, Fred Weasley and George Weasley looked at each other and smiled maliciously.

"Yes, this is a new feature of Hogwarts—"

"If you need fruits or drinks, remember to exchange your treasured photo book—"

"Huh? What album? It seems we need a good chat between our brothers."

Charlie Weasley glanced thoughtfully at his grinning brothers, rubbed his fists, and was about to ask him a question.

Judging from the expressions of Fred and George, it was obvious that they had secretly flipped through his "study book", otherwise they would never show such a narrow look-this kind of behavior can not be condoned, mother will even know Killed him together.

"Well, there are so many important things."

At this moment, Dumbledore patted his palms lightly and said cheerfully

"I think everyone must be starving? Let's have a banquet!"

Immediately afterwards, the golden plates and wine glasses on the table suddenly appeared full of food and drinks.

In the steaming aroma of food, the students' attention was instantly shifted away from the irrelevant content of professors, new courses, and new textbooks, and devoted themselves to the delicacies they had been thinking about for the entire summer vacation.

Not surprisingly, this may be the most spectacular dinner at Hogwarts this school year.

Because in accordance with the tradition that began last year, starting next week, the exclusive vegetable gardens of the four colleges will all be re-opened, and the dishes that appear on the tables of each college will still be processed according to the list of raw materials provided by each college.

The only difference is that at least this time everyone will have a lot more experience when choosing seeds.

...

There is no doubt that this is a delicious feast.

The auditorium echoed with laughter and the clash of knives and forks.

However, as time went on, a discordant atmosphere appeared on the side of Ravenclaw's long table, and the cause of all this was a "taboo question" that was accidentally raised by a freshman. .

"Sister Qiu Zhang, I saw in "Hogwarts, A School History" that every college at Hogwarts has a unique way of access control, so what is the way of access control at Ravenclaw College? Is it similar to some kind of password?"

Danilova Alexey asked curiously while cutting the sausage.

Click——

Following the girl's inadvertent question, the knife in the hands of Qiu Zhang, who was smiling, suddenly smashed into the golden plate, making a somewhat abrupt impact, and the students around who heard the question also stopped. Down.

By the way, I almost forgot-Eagle Ring!

Since today is the first day of school, there is no one on duty in the lounge!

The senior students of Ravenclaw looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared. At this moment, they once again recalled the fear and fear dominated by the problem of the bronze eagle ring after the school opening banquet a year ago. humiliation.

Qiu Zhang took a deep breath and said solemnly, as if he was telling a terrible ghost story.

"Well, Danny, you may need to be mentally prepared..."

"Is Ravenclaw's door knocker? Well, it's just a talking bronze eagle ring~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Luna Lovegood explained vaguely while chewing on veal steaks.

"The first question is not very difficult. Generally speaking, the difficulty gradually increases with the progress of the semester. I heard that the question on the first day of school last year seemed to be a very interesting math problem, such as turning the rabbit and the raven off. In the same cage, tell that there are thirty-eight heads and ninety-six feet, and then ask about the number of ravens and rabbits..."

"Oh? Is it just that? Ten and twenty-eight, it's really simple..."

Danilova was taken aback for a moment, then she was relieved, and continued to concentrate on the sausage on the plate.

With this kind of simple linear equations in two unknowns, she could calculate mentally within ten seconds when she was six or seven years old.

When I first saw everyone’s expressions, Danilova thought it would be a headache for advanced mathematics, or a very brain-burning philosophical speculation. If it’s just these simple math problems, it’s even a recreational time for rest. reluctantly.

"Dani, you were too happy, it was only a year ago..."

At this moment, Miss Taozi, the prefect, shook her head solemnly and said in a deep voice.

"Do you know what question Bronze Eagle Ring posed in the last week we left school, the week that the Ravenclaw common room was about to close? It wanted us to help answer a question raised by a stubborn barber— —"

"Since that day, no one has answered the question in the common room."

"Take turns on duty, and then open the door once every hour on the hour to release people. This is our only way..."
