After saying goodbye to the Weasleys at the door of the headmaster's office, Ryan silently congratulated in his heart. After all, there are so many pure-blood families who want to say that they are the ones who are really Muggle-friendly, not to mention that it is their family that gains the most after the final battle in the original text. Being able to raise your reputation in their home is also a very important help for your future goals.

The rest of the day was very ordinary. After returning to the common room after a day's schoolwork, Ryan saw Hermione coming to him with a stack of parchment and a bucket of paste.

"What is this for?" Probably because he had been focusing on Spotty lately, he always felt as if he had forgotten something.

"What do you say? Didn't we say we're going to have a book club? Now we should put these notices out there for everyone to see, so that we can attract people. Hermione gave Ryan a blank look.

After posting notices on several bulletin boards at the school, Ryan began to silently pray that there would not be too few attendees. He would have been very embarrassed if there were only him and Hermione in the book club. It was fast forward on Friday afternoon, and after dinner, Ryan was the first to arrive at the school, which had been assigned to their empty classroom on the third floor.

When he opened the door, he found that the empty classroom could seat at least fifty or sixty people, and it didn't look small. It's just that a finger of thick ash on the classroom furniture proves that no one has been here for a long time.

"Clean up, ahem, ahem—" Ryan rolled up his sleeves and began to clean up. I have to say that magic is indeed a very handy thing, at least it is enough to clean up the garbage here with a wave of a wand.

When he was halfway packed, Hermione also walked in with her school bag on her back, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she put down her bag and joined the cleanliness team.

With the help of magic, cleaning up is very fast, especially Hogwarts Castle has magical protection, and the most difficult pest problem in the wizarding world when cleaning old houses is not serious under the influence of magic. Except for a bunch of kitsunes that were dried out of the curtains with a special potion. The only thing in the room that seemed big to them was that they had found a large patch of ground under the lectern.

It looks like a greenish fungus with eyes, and when frightened, it grows countless slender legs and crawls away. The worst thing is that they secrete a corrosive substance that slowly erodes the foundations of the house. Ryan, for example, found that the floor beneath the patches was corroded and pitted.

"It seems that the magic protection of Hogwarts is focused on the outside, and there seems to be little protection on the inside. Recalling the partition wall that was easily smashed by trolls in his first grade, Ryan came to this conclusion.

Luckily, Ryan had checked what kind of things would come out of the old houses in the wizarding world beforehand, so he managed to use the Sweeping Charm to get Madara.

"What kind of magic did you just use?" asked Hermione after seeing this.

"The Sweeping Charm is a type of housekeeping charm. I've found that housekeeping spells are a great way to exercise magic precision. Because most of the housekeeping spells are easy to learn and difficult to master, even the slightest difference in magic power can cause different effects, such as the vegetable peeling spell is very popular, but it is very difficult to completely remove the skin of fruits and vegetables without wasting a little. ”

"Well, I can try. It was clear that Ryan's words had struck Hermione. She decided to wait until she had time to study the housework magic that she had not seen before.

At a quarter past seven o'clock in the evening, with a knock on the door, everyone began to arrive one after another.

Neville was the first to arrive, who pushed open the door a little shyly, followed by Cho and Alicia, who had been saved by Hermione last time. There's also Justin Fenrieri, Hannah Abbott, and a dark-haired girl that Ryan isn't familiar with, but her purple eyes and a tear mole under her left eye are very distinctive, and Ryan quickly reminds Ryan that she seems to be a Gryffindor third-year student as well. Then Luna Lovegood walked in alone in a trance, feeling as if she had broken in after getting lost. The last to come in were the two Weasley twin brothers.

"It looks like there's more people than you think, but who is that brunette girl, and why don't I know each other so well in the same grade as us?" Ryan asked Hermione in a whisper.

"That seems to be Jerry Swinton, one of the few people in Gryffindor who loves to learn. If it weren't for the magic Sera's score, the score wouldn't be much lower than the two of us. Because she is the heir to the next Earl of Glamorgan, both hemp wizards and pure-blood wizards reject her a little consciously or unconsciously, and it's normal for you to be unfamiliar with her. Hermione replied in a whisper.

"Isn't it that the English aristocracy is passed on only to men?

"Not really. Hermione gave a strange look to herself. "There is something unusual about this title, their family has been in a single line for at least seven generations. So their family has had a few rare countesses in history. ”

Ryan finally knew what was going on, England was a very class-conscious place. The presence of a noble heir at Hogwarts is unusual in the British view, so isolation is normal.

After waiting for a while, the time came to half-past seven. After making sure no one else had returned, Ryan got up and closed the classroom door.

Hermione muttered a few times at this time, took a deep breath and walked onto the stage, "Uh-huh, hello everyone." I'm glad to see so many people who share our views. As we all know, as wizards, we have the power of magic, and behind these powers is a sufficient amount of knowledge. So we brought everyone together for the same purpose as I wrote on the poster: whether it's wizarding books or Muggle books, we're going to read them for knowledge. And this knowledge is transformed into our strength through practice, and finally we can improve ourselves. ”

Everyone in the room nodded in agreement. Because the poster specifically named them to learn about Muggles, the people sitting here can at least do not discriminate against Muggles. There was no resentment about Hermione's mention of Muggle books.

"I'll ask you. Cho raised his hand at this time, stood up after Hermione nodded and asked, "The wizarding world is peaceful now, I think it is enough to master what is to be tested in class." Why should we even grasp the power of textbooks, which are extended, and may even be dangerous? ”

I'll answer that. Ryan also stepped up to the podium. "First, the wizarding world as a whole is peaceful, but you can't guarantee that you won't encounter anything. Whether it's Quirrell in Year 1 or Dementors this year, it shows that risk is everywhere. We'd rather prepare in advance and end up not being useful, but we can't really find ourselves powerless when we encounter things. ”

Qiu nodded in agreement, and Ryan continued, "Second, as a person who was not born in magic, I found that what determines a person's status in this magical world is whether they are strong or not. For example, the reason why our headmaster really became the leader of the British wizarding world was because he defeated Grindelwald, the most powerful dark wizard at the time. Therefore, in order for everyone to have a good future when they leave Hogwarts in the future, it is necessary to work hard to learn more knowledge and strengthen themselves. ”

"What's more, in the wizarding world, if we want to do what we are interested in, we need to have enough strength. For example, if you like herbalism, if you don't have enough strength, you can't have the opportunity to get close to those dangerous advanced plants. Ryan looked at Neville below.

"For example, if you want to find magical beasts that no one has seen before, you may not be able to go deep into those dangerous places without enough strength. Ryan saw that Luna, who had always been indifferent to many things, nodded after hearing this.

"So. "The purpose of this book club is to allow everyone to learn and exchange their knowledge together, and finally transform the knowledge into practice to improve everyone." ”
