Chapter 27 Welcome Banquet
Bruce and Harry grabbed their knives and forks and began to sweep, and Ron beside him had already nibbled on chicken legs one by one. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hermione shook her head as she looked at the miserable three, and couldn't bear to look directly at her and said, "Can you three be gentlemen?" ”
"Humph!" Ron glanced at her and continued to fight the food.
Harry's face turned red and "civilized", while Bruce wiped his mouth and said with a smile, "Dear Hermione! It's a party! What is a Party? Unbridled jokes, happy eating and drinking! If you want to be like a gentleman, then it's not interesting! ”
"Beautifully said!" The Weasley brothers on the side immediately chimed in, and it was clear that Bruce's words were very good for the two of them. The two even high-fived Bruce in celebration, with Ron filling his mouth with food racing but nodding his head in agreement.
"Alas! Hopeless! Also, don't be so affectionate, we're not that familiar! After saying that, he turned his face and continued to chat with other students.
Harry patted his friend on the shoulder and chuckled, "Bruce, it seems that your big business is not so easy!" ”
Bruce shoved a cake into Harry's mouth and said, "Eat something!" ”
The freshmen were curious about everything, especially at Hogwarts, and soon the freshmen, who were still a little reserved, began to chat. Bruce used his ability to make friends and can talk to almost anyone.
"Hey! Guys, what are you all ingredients! Bruce asked.
A girl named Lavender Brown, who was sitting next to Hermione, was also attracted by Bruce's words and asked curiously, "What does the ingredient mean?" ”
"Eun!" Others didn't understand Bruce's words either.
Bruce explained, "Just asking if you're a Muggle or a pureblood!" ”
"I'm half and half!" A freckled boy named Seamus Finigan immediately said, "My mother is a witch and my father is a Muggle!" When he found out who my mom was, he almost fainted! ”
"Hahaha!"
"Neville, what about you!" Neville, who had been eating with his head down, said, "Oh, I was brought up by my grandmother, and she's a witch. But for so many years our family had treated me like a Muggle. My Uncle Algie always tried to take advantage of the unpreparedness and try to force me to show his tricks. ”
Neville is still a little timid, but he has a "good face", and his appearance makes it easy to believe him, because he gives the impression that this guy will never lie!
At the urging of the crowd, Neville spoke up about his story!
"One time he pushed me down the docks of the Black Lagoon and almost drowned me, but nothing happened. Until when I was eight years old, one day when my Uncle Algie came over for tea, he hung me from the upstairs window with my feet and neck up, just as my Aunt Anne handed him a meringue. He missed, and he didn't hold me steady. I bounced up on my own, flew across the garden, and fell into the road. They were all overjoyed. Aunt Anne even cried with joy. If only you could see the expressions on their faces when I received my acceptance letter, you see, they thought I wasn't good enough to get into this school. My Uncle Algi was so happy that he bought me a toad and gave it to me. ”
"The family in the wizarding world is really unintelligible!" Dean Thomas, who was a black man and lived in a Muggle family, was puzzled by Neville's experience.
"Hey! Harry, tell me about you! Seamus said to Harry.
"Yes, yes! Harry, tell me about it! "Others are also interested in the life of the Savior.
Harry didn't expect the topic to suddenly run to him, and he hurriedly said, "I...... I don't have much to say! Really, Muggle life isn't as much fun as wizarding! ”
"Harry, don't say that!" Dean immediately said, "Our world is still very interesting! ”
Bruce immediately said, "Dean, tell them what TV is, what movies are, and I think they definitely haven't played computer games!" ”
While the Immortal Boys were attractive, they were children, and they were more interested in playing with things they had never heard of Bruce, a child in the wizarding world who couldn't use technology.
So under the coaxing of the Weasley brothers, Dean explained to everyone endlessly.
Harry naturally knew that Bruce was diverting the conversation and didn't want people to talk about himself. What seemed glorious to others was sad to Harry.
"Thanks! Bruce! Harry said movingly.
Bruce laughed, "Are you sorry to tell me this?" ”
"Haha!" Harry laughed and said, "Okay! Brother, my bad! Here, toast! ”
At this time, Bruce noticed that Hermione was actually looking at him, he shook his hair with a smile, and said, "How's it?" Don't you think I'm handsome! ”
Hermione pursed her lips and said, "It's disgusting! However, I am very impressed by what happened just now, you should be a good friend! ”
Then he smiled and raised his glass, and Bruce also raised his own glass and touched it, but said in his heart: "Brother is not just friends with you at the moment!" Hey! ”
Ron also had a few words to talk to from time to time, but his greatest interest was the food. Soon he gnawed the nth chicken leg to the bone, and Bruce laughed, "I said Ron, you've eaten so many snacks on the train, how can you still eat it!" ”
Ron said of course, "But it's delicious!" Well, I'm going to have another one, do you want it? ”
Bruce and Harry shook their heads, but just as Ron grabbed the drumsticks, a grey transparent human head popped out!
"Hello! Welcome to Hogwarts! ”
"Ahh
Everyone was taken aback, and Ron threw the chicken legs out in fright.
At this time, a number of ghosts flew out from other places, ranging from the traditional aristocratic dress of the Gryffindor table, to the pirate dress, and one of them in an honest one-piece pajamas who flew into the air from the ground cheering.
"It's the ghost of Hogwarts!" Hermione immediately explained.
Bruce looked at the ghosts flying around in the air, and said helplessly: "Isn't it that the things that live in Hogwarts like to be scary!" ”
"Hi, Sir Nicholas, have you had a good summer?" Percy greets, Percy is Ron's third brother and Gryffindor's prefect. It's just that because he doesn't know how to be flexible and likes power, this brother is not loved by the brothers in the family.
"Miserable!" Sir Nicholas was very dissatisfied, and said, "I wanted to participate in the Headless Horseman hunt, but I was rejected again!" ”
Ron immediately said, "I remember, I've heard about you!" You're the almost headless Nick! ”
Sir Nicholas's face became even more dissatisfied when he heard this, and he said righteously, "I want you to call me Sir Nicholas...... Also, what are you laughing at, that little guy? ”
The little guy he was talking about was Bruce, for he had been smiling since Percy called his name.
"Huh! It's nothing! I just think it's amazing! Bruce said awkwardly.
In fact, when he heard the name Nicholas, he remembered a very popular name on the Internet before, "Asian temperament dance king Nicholas Zhao Si", and he wanted to laugh when he thought of Zhao Si's convulsive dancing, but he wouldn't say it.
"Almost headless?" Hermione asked curiously, "How did you almost lose your head?" ”
Sir Nicholas seemed reluctant to discuss the subject, and said, "That's it! ”
As he spoke, he grabbed his left ear and pulled it down. His head staggered and slipped off his neck and onto his shoulders as if he were hinged. It seems that someone cut off his head, but not completely.
"Ahh
Ron was so frightened that he screamed, and the others were stunned by the "scenery" under Sir Nicholas's head.
"I'll go! It's amazing! Bruce sighed with a miserable expression.
Nick, who was almost headless, was very happy to see their stunned expressions. He flicked his head back to his neck, cleared his throat, and said, "Alright, new Gryffindor classmates!" I hope you guys can help us win the House Cup this academic year, okay? Gryffindor has never won in such a long time. Slytherin has won six in a row! Barrow the Bloody Man is unbearable - he's the ghost of Slytherin. ”
Harry immediately looked in Slytherin's direction, and sure enough, he saw a terrible ghost sitting at a table, staring at a sleazed eye with a withered description and a silver stain of blood on his robes.
"Is that the ghost?" Harry asked.
Sir Nicholas nodded and said, "Yes! Well, boys, have a great time at Hogwarts! ”
With that, they floated away, but the ghosts were of great interest.
Seamus looked at Barrow the Bloody Man and asked with great interest2, "How do you think he got blood all over his body?"
Bruce smiled when he heard this: "You want to know, go over and ask!" ”
Seamus glanced at the appearance of the bloody man Barrow and shivered, and hurriedly said, "Forget it!" ”
"Haha!"
Harry asked, "How did these ghosts appear...... I mean, how they become ghosts when they die! ”
Ron lost his appetite at all by Nick's "display" that was almost headless just now, and said dissatisfiedly: "The ghost wants to know!" ”
"He seems to be the resident ghost of Gryffindor! One of the friendliest Hogwarts ghosts! Bruce said.
Harry asked curiously, "What?" Do other colleges also have resident ghosts? ”
When Hermione heard this question, she hurriedly said, "Of course, Gryffindor is Nick who almost lost his head, and the resident ghost of Slytherin is Barrow the Bloody. There are also Fat Friars and Lady Gray, who are resident ghosts of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. You know? There's also a professor at Hogwarts who is also a ghost! ”
"Really? It's amazing! Harry sighed.
"Enough!" Ron interrupted the conversation and said, "Stop talking about it!" ”
"Huh!"
