Chapter 147: Extracurricular activities in full swing
As Beauxbatons and Durmstrang arrived, the students of Hogwarts were busy.
Hogwarts student organizations, associations, teams, and clubs are all in action to showcase themselves to the students of the other two schools.
As for why everyone is so active, theoretically to show the new style of Hogwarts, it should have nothing to do with a certain acting professor who mentioned that Beauxbatons's student representatives are seventy percent beautiful girls while having a late night snack in the kitchen.
Hogwarts has quite a few historic clubs and associations.
For example, the Tall Stone Club, which is made up of lovers of witcher's niche games, Snape's mother, Erin Prince, was the president of the Hogwarts Tall Stone Club when she was at school.
There is also the Drama Society. Former herbology professor Herbert Billy adapted The Fountain of Good Fortune into a play for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where Dumbledore, then Professor Transfiguration, served as the show's special effects wizard. Dumbledore was asked to make a fully functional fountain of good luck, as well as a small grassy slope that would slowly sink underneath the stage. Dumbledore believed that the items he provided had fulfilled the tasks assigned to them conscientiously. Unfortunately, the play turns into a tragedy, and the show leads to a fire and a duel between the two girls.
In addition, there is the Wizarding Chess Association, which is now the president of Ron Weasley, and Ron obtained this position by single-handedly winning the entire guild.
In recent years, under the direct and indirect influence of Zhang Xu, various emerging organizations have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Not to mention the two emerging and energetic clubs "Tea Time After School" and "Hogwarts Protectors", which were tossed out by Zhang Xu.
Due to the abundant funds of Hogwarts in recent years, many money-burning societies have also been formed. If Hogwarts had only had funding from the Ministry of Magic and the School Council, as it had done before, such an organization would not have been able to be established. Now that Hogwarts' small coffers are filled with gold coins, Dumbledore doesn't mind putting a sum of money out to support the students' extracurricular activities.
The Apothecary Guild, led by Snake Academy student Faraniel, gathered a large group of students with expertise in potions, and was founded with Snape's support.
Potions is a money-burning discipline, and the medicinal materials needed for experiments cost a lot of gold.
After nearly two years of development, the Flying Club has become a shotgun change.
The broomsticks that were broken down in the school and then repaired and reused have all been eliminated, and now the brooms they use are sponsored by the broom company of the Halo Competition, and these brooms only receive a gold coin for a symbolic fee.
Last school year, the Flying Clubs had an ambitious plan to hold a series of broomstick competitions in order to make broomstick competitions second only to Quidditch in Hogwarts in a few years' time.
The school's Quidditch tournament was discontinued this school year, which was good news for the broomstick competitions run by the students themselves.
Dumbledore acquiesced to their plan.
What was once a gastronomic association that mistakenly put the lamp eel version of stargazing pie on the dining hall table has now grown into a gastronomic association that includes desserts, drinks, and main dishes.
This is the only association in Hogwarts that does not require school funding, but instead has a dividend at the end of the school year.
The organization that allowed students to practice Defence Against the Dark Arts together every Saturday night in the Room of Requirement because of Gilderoy Lockhart's scumbag also officially became a Defense Association last year with the support of Lupin.
The Defense Association was not yet known as the Dumbledore's Army at this time.
Later, the Society was nicknamed the Draco's Army based on the Hogwarts motto, "Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus".
Draco Malfoy was then beaten with a sack.
In these student clubs, there are also various exchange meetings.
For example, Zhang Xu single-handedly supported the Muggle Research Exchange Association, which was developed from the Muggle Reading Exchange Association.
With Zhang Xu's efforts, in addition to reading exchanges, this exchange meeting also began to involve film and television documentaries.
After Zhang Xu's indoctrination in class and after school, now the students from the wizarding family in Hogwarts have begun to face up to the development of Muggle society.
There was once a student at the Snake Academy who made a discriminatory remark against Muggles, and was then blocked by the phrase "Can wizards go to the moon like Muggles?"
In addition to these, Hogwarts also has a table tennis club, a music club, an art society, a film society, and other groups of various enthusiasts.
Among them, the Film Association recently made a big news.
The association, which was formed last year after Mr. Jang showed a short film of the basilisk fight, spent almost a year making a film that reflected the basilisk fight.
All the cast except for the villain Lockhart, who is transformed into him by Professor McGonagall, all the characters are played by himself, including the basilisk who is put on the table at the end of the movie.
Now that the film has been produced, Zhang Xu, who participated in the post-production, feels that if the film is screened in the Muggle world, the box office will not be too bad.
This year's film association's goal is to make a magical version of "The Love of Ghosts", and the actor is Nick, who is already dead.
While the students were in full swing preparing for their preparations, a notice on the bulletin board shattered the peace of Hogwarts Castle.
Triwizard Tournament
Representatives from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will arrive at 6 p.m. on Friday, 30 October. The afternoon class will end half an hour earlier.
This means that the Hogwarts Castle Cleanup will begin tomorrow Saturday.
Hogwarts Castle is divided into twenty-eight areas by the Student Council, each of which is cleaned up by a year in a particular house.
The twenty-four Prefects of Hogwarts, as well as the four Captain of the Quidditch team who were temporarily assigned important responsibilities, were each responsible for the command of an area.
The two student council presidents were responsible for the overall work, as well as running back and forth in the area where the junior students were responsible, and became firefighters.
Many first-graders apparently failed to master the spells needed to clean up, and had to rely on buckets, mops, and rags to clean the armor from the hallways.
Filch kept pointing and pointing at the students, and from time to time filling the students' buckets with a spring like water spell.
At this time, Zhang Xu was decorating Hogwarts Castle with other professors.
In addition to the interior of the castle, he was also responsible for the exterior of the castle plus the lighting effects. There is also the snow castle and garden by the lake, where he is responsible for the renovation and decoration.
