Chapter 8: A Transaction
"Dangdangβ"
The crisp sound of a spoon tapping a wine glass turned out to be Professor McGonagall. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"Attention everyone!"
With Professor McGonagall's reminder, Dumbledore rose from his golden throne again, and he looked at the students in the audience, with his arms outstretched, as if to say that there was nothing more joyful than seeing all his students in the room.
"Now, the feast begins!" he said, "welcome to Hogwarts! Welcome to the new school year! All I want to say is: Stupid, cry, leftovers, thank you!"
With Lao Deng's little trick, the plate in front of everyone appeared full of delicacies: roast beef, roast chicken, pork, mutton, sausages, bacon and steak, as well as boiled tomatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, French fries, boiled corn, carrots, thick meat field, tomato sauce. Not only that, the caring Lao Deng also prepared a lot of fruits with them, grapes, bananas, pears, apples......
Although for Chu Nan, who is accustomed to eating Chinese food, these dishes are quite monotonous, but for these British children who grew up in the food desert, this is already a gluttonous feast, believe it or not, even the arrogant Malfoy showed a look of surprise.
Glancing at the knife and fork in front of him, Chu Nan was quite unaccustomed to it, why?
Which hand is holding the fork? Chu Nan scratched his head, he really couldn't think of it.
In order not to be foreign-looking, Chu Nan decided to observe first.
When he looked around, he saw that most of the professors were tasting the wine, especially Hagrid, who was already holding the bottle. As for the hungry little guys, except for some girls, they basically got their hands on it.
Especially Ron, who usually can't afford to eat meat, has lost all his temperament in front of the food, and I saw him holding a chicken leg in one hand and stuffing it into his mouth indiscriminately. Looking at Harry again, although he is quite reserved, he definitely eats no slower than Ron.
In this lively and cheerful atmosphere, all the students got acquainted with each other and began to talk to each other, which of course, was one of the important reasons why the school held the banquet.
"I'm half and half, my dad is a Muggle, my mom is a wizard, and my dad was scared enough when he found out the truth....."
β..... My parents are both magicians..."
"My grandmother raised me, she was a magician, but my family has long treated me like an ordinary person. β
β.........β
While everyone was staggering and laughing, about twenty ghosts entered through the wall from behind, and immediately attracted the attention of everyone, they were as pale as lime and translucent, and floated through the room while chatting.
At this moment, a ghost's head suddenly came out from under the table of Gryffindor Academy, and it happened to be in front of Potter and Ron, and they jumped up directly.
"Hello, welcome to Gryffindor. β
"Oh, Sir Nicholas, have you had a good summer vacation?"
Hearing the greeting from the Gryffindor prefect next to him, this guy walked directly across the table and floated into the air, "It's so boring, I applied to join the Headless Hunting Club and was rejected again." β
β.........β
Chu Nan was not interested in the content of their chat, he was curious about how these ghosts were formed and how they existed for a long time.
If only you could catch one and study it.......
After eating and drinking, Lao Deng snapped his fingers, and the food residue disappeared directly out of thin air, and the tableware became bright as new again. At this time, he stood up, "Before going to bed, let's sing the school song together!"
After saying that, Chu Nan found that the smiles of several other professors immediately stiffened.
Ignoring the opinions of the masses, Lao Deng directly picked up his wand and made a light move, only to see a long golden ribbon floating out of the wand and rising high above the table, snake-shaped and meandering into words.
"Everybody chooses their favorite tune," said Dan Bodo, "Ready, sing!"
The whole school roared.
"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, please teach us knowledge...... We will study hard until we turn into dung. β
The singing was fast and slow, and it was very inconsistent, and in the end, only the Weasley twins continued to sing in a very slow and heavy mournful tune, but instead of being angry, Dumbledore tried his best to direct the brothers to sing the last few lines with his wand, after which he applauded vigorously.
"Ah, music, it's a kind of magic that transcends the realm of self!Okay, it's bedtime, please lead your students to the dormitory ...... each grade."
Finally, this crazy day is over!
------------
Early the next morning, in the principal's office.
"Yawn~ This is what you want, I haven't slept all night for this thing. β
Lao Deng happily took the small crystal bottle in Chu Nan's hand, which was a fiery red liquid, and he thought it was a small cluster of dancing flames when he didn't pay attention to it.
Seeing that he carefully put the bottle in his underwear pocket, Chu Nan reminded:
"I'll make it clear in advance, this thing specializes in corroding the soul, and even the slightest bit of it will continue to erode the soul until it is annihilated, so you must not ask me for an antidote, unless you can cut off the eroded parts, but I don't think anyone can cut the soul quickly and accurately. β
In the end, Chu Nan looked directly into Lao Deng's eyes, "Moreover, once I get out of this door, I don't know anything, as for who you want to use it against, I don't care, and besides, you should have prepared what I need, right?"
"Oh, of course. β
γγγγγγγ
Out of the principal's office, Chu Nan played with a crystal clear card in his hand, which was a pass signed by Dumbledott, allowing him to enter and exit some forbidden places, such as the forbidden forest next to Chu Nan's residence, and the forbidden book area where many confidential and dark magic books were stored.
Of course, some real secrets and forbidden techniques, don't think about it, they must be hidden in Lao Deng's office.
However, the main reason why Chu Nan needs it is to audit, as long as he wants, he can go to any professor to listen to the class, but the premise is that he is only an observer, no questions, no interference with classroom discipline, and no joining or leaving the class halfway.....
In a word, minimize his presence.
And the first class of this year's freshmen was Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class, and to be honest, Chu Nan was very interested because he wanted to see how this was different from the Transfiguration of Ninjutsu.
Walking into the classroom of the Transfiguration class, she found that Professor McGonagall, dressed in a green robe, was already standing on the podium, and below her were students in twos and threes, and sitting at the front was Hermione, a top student, perhaps she thought that the closer she was to the teacher, the more thoroughly she would learn.
Chu Nan consciously walked to the last row, and then showed Professor McGonagall the pass, the stern and old-fashioned lady did not speak, just nodded her head, indicating that she already knew.
Although Chu Nan deliberately wore black, his extraordinary age and unusual clothes still attracted most people's attention, but due to Professor McGonagall's stern gaze, everyone stayed quietly in their seats.
After a few more minutes, the students had almost arrived, and at this time Chu Nan realized that there were not only Gryffindor students here, but also Slytherin's, to be honest, Chu Nan didn't hate Slytarin's students, because they were arrogant, stinky, unsightly, insidious, ruthless, and looked down on other houses, uh, it didn't seem to be good.....
