Seamus still remembers the first time he came to Hogwarts, and he never imagined that there would be such a magical, beautiful, and magnificent place in the world.

The rest of the academy was already sitting around four long tables, above which thousands of candles fluttered in the air lit up the cafeteria. Four tables are lined with glittering gold plates and goblets. At the top of the cafeteria is a long table with the teachers' seats.

Professor McGonagall led them to the center of the auditorium in full view of the crowd, and had them lined up in front of all the seniors, with the teachers behind them. The candlelight flickered, and hundreds of faces staring at them were like pale lanterns. The ghosts also mingled among the students, shimmering with a hazy silver light.

And when Seamus looked up, he saw starlight twinkling on the velvety pitch-black ceiling. It's hard to believe that there is a ceiling on it, and it's hard to believe that the roof of the restaurant isn't open-air.

He saw a girl with some front teeth whispering to the boy next to her, "There are spells cast here, and it looks like the sky outside, I read about it in Hogwarts, a school history." ”

At that time, Seamus didn't know that the boy was the famous Harry, but he knew that the girl who already knew the history of the school before she entered the school must be the darling of all the teachers in the future.

Why did Seamus suddenly think of the Hogwarts cafeteria? Because he was now in the cafeteria of the Torristeen Academy of Magic. Although he had already been here once in the morning, in order not to be late, Seamus did not have time to observe the place at all.

It was only then that Seamus noticed that the Torlistine Academy of Magic's cafeteria had three long, long tables, long enough to accommodate about a hundred people. Louise and his table are in the center.

It seems to reflect the grade level in the color of the cloak, facing the front of the cafeteria, sitting at the table on the left, and the magicians with a somewhat adult feel are all wearing purple cloaks, they are probably in the third year.

The magicians at the table on the right are wearing brown cloaks, which are very different from Hogwarts. The students at Hogwarts are uniformly dressed, and there is no difference between grades, the only difference being the house badge on the chest.

It seemed that all the magicians in the academy, whether they were students or teachers, dined here, and Seamus noticed that there was a partition on the second floor, and some older people could be seen talking there, they should be the teachers of this school.

All the tables were decorated, with candles erected in the middle, and baskets decorated with flowers and filled with fruit were neatly arranged. Although the decoration and architectural style of the cafeteria looked luxurious, Seamus always felt that something was missing.

I remember that after the sorting ceremony, they were greeted with inexhaustible food, well, although there are only a few British dishes, but fried chicken thighs, cakes and snacks are still good.

Comparing this place to Hogwarts, Seamus always felt that there was something inexplicable, not a lack of ghosts to gag during your meals, nor a lack of companions who could communicate sincerely. Because from the point of view of the function of the canteen, these are not the most important.

As for the most important point, Seamus sighed at the thought of this, and then looked at Louise with extremely resentful eyes.

Well, Louise is eating in the cafeteria, and what about Seamus? He was watching Louise eat.

[Strange? 】

[Too weird? 】

"Hey, Louise? Where's my lunch? Looking at the empty dinner plate and feeling the empty screaming stomach, Seamus finally couldn't help but ask.

Just now a maid brought Louise a few plates of food, and Seamus thought she would have her share, and then the other party ignored her and walked away.

Louise would not sue Simo, and in order to punish Simo, she deliberately instructed the maids not to give Simo food before she was distracted.

At this time, Louise, who had the intention of punishing Seamu, first elegantly wiped her mouth with a tissue, and then began to talk nonsense seriously: "The philosophy of this school is: everything in the world must be exchanged for the idea of equal value, so they will not give you food if they are not paid by the school." ”

Halfway through speaking, Louise looked at Seamus with a smile and continued, "Mr. Seamus Finigan from another world, do you have any money to exchange for food?" ”

What about the deceiver? Why don't you say much at breakfast? Did those cookies you gave me feed the dogs? Hey, wait, something seems wrong. 】

At this moment, Seamus was extremely glad that he usually developed the habit of thinking more and talking less, otherwise if the thoughts in his mind just now were blurted out, he would be embarrassed.

Seamus coughed and said, "Beautiful Miss Vallière, but I don't think I saw you pay the maid who served the food." ”

"Ah, this is because the school cafeteria adopts a prepayment system, and students will pay for each semester's meals before they come to school."

Seamus instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but couldn't say it, because attending Hogwarts was free of charge for tuition and food, and all of the students' expenses were paid for by the Ministry of Magic plus the sponsorship of the Board of Trustees.

So Seamus didn't know if what Louise said was true or not, but when he went to elementary school with Muggle children, it seemed that he had to pay tuition, and as for whether there was any meal money in the tuition, where did the 5 or 6-year-old children know how much?

The money was paid by Seamus's parents, not by Seamus himself, and he only knew that when he was in elementary school, the school cafeteria did not ask them for money before the meal started, and he did not have to pay when he arrived at Hogwarts.

And now the penniless Seamus can only ask for help from the people closest to him in this world: "Well, then the wise and kind Miss Vallière, in Xia Tian is your demon, you will not let me starve to death without food, right?" ”

"On this point, Mr. Finigan, don't worry, considering that the students from the second year onwards have to summon the demons, so when the tuition and food expenses are paid, the meals of the demons are also paid in advance."

"I see, I told you earlier, Louise."

"And Mr. Finigan, do you want to dine now?"

"Of course, Louise, I'm dying of hunger. And Louise, can we stop using honorifics with each other? I listened in a panic. ”

"As you wish, dear Seamus." With that, Louise clapped her hands and winked at the maid.

For a short time, Seamus thought that what had happened before was just Louise joking with herself.

[Louise is really, too naughty, too quirky, but I like it.] By the way, she seems to have used 'dear' in front of my name? Sure enough, I was right to help her solve her trouble. That's really ...... Well? 】

Seamus, who was thinking wildly, almost couldn't close his mouth with a smile until he saw the plate of so-called "food".
