Chapter 11: The Gathering

Bernard was sitting behind a high table in a brown robe, holding a small teacup, savoring it, while Hermione and Ginny were there unbelievably discussing, with happy smiles on their faces, and Neville was holding a small notebook on the other side, reciting words in his mouth, pushing open the door, and Harry saw such a sight.

The sound of the door opening broke the silence in the classroom, and everyone looked up to see Harry and Ron standing in the doorway, "Come in, Harry!" Bernard greeted cheerfully. We may have to wait a little longer, and there are still people who haven't come, huh! The time may be almost up, and we'll just have to wait a little longer. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened again, and Draco Malfoy and Astoria Greengrass walked in, and Bernard thought, "Here we are!" "Draco and Astoria are both children of pure souls, and according to Dumbledore, they are not yet fallen, they are still worth saving, and Bernard thinks so, so he does the same.

But before Bernard could beckon the two little ones in, Ron and Harry cried out, "Malfoy! Obviously, the two of them didn't know about the other Slytherin students at all, and in the eyes of the two of them, Malfoy clearly represented Slytherin directly, and Bernard had to say that this was really prejudice!

As if he hadn't heard Harry and Ron shouting, Bernard still greeted warmly, "Draco, Astoria, come and sit here, we may have to wait a little longer." This provoked Harry and Ron to turn and glare at Bernard, who only smiled mildly. This made Malfoy want to say something, but then he held back, but the two of them still sat some distance from the others.

And just when there was a strange atmosphere among the people present, the door was pushed open again, and like a cautious little badger, three little heads poked in first, "Ah, Hannah, Susan, Justin, come here, the time is ...... Well, the time has come. ”

Looking at his watch, Bernard stood up and said in a regretful tone: "It's time, it's a pity that the Ravenclaw students didn't come, and I can only say it's a pity for that." However, please believe that you will not be disappointed, let's go, come with the teacher. ”

As he spoke, he led everyone outside, and Harry whispered to Hermione, "Aren't we in the alchemy classroom?" Where are we going?! Also, Why are there Slytherin students!? ”

Hearing Harry's three questions, Hermione replied very unceremoniously: "I don't know where the tutor wants to go, he didn't tell me, he said he wanted to surprise everyone, as for why the Slytherin students came, Harry, please think about it, the professor of the tutor's school, not the professor of a certain house, we are a collective." ”

Hermione was able to say this completely because of Bernard's influence, the strength of Hogwarts lies in the teaching and competition between the four houses, but in the end, it is also in the fight of everyone, no matter how they compete, when everyone graduates, they are first branded with the brand of Hogwarts, followed by their respective houses. Look at this kind of difference, the teachers of Hogwarts are all cultivated by themselves, and Bernard has put so much effort into it, and he has to be tested and doubted after entering, this is the partisan division, which starts from the moment every young wizard graduates. Seriously, this distinction and discrimination has always existed in the wizarding world, the opposition between pure-blood wizards and Muggle wizards, the opposition between wizards and magical creatures, and the discord between the wizarding worlds of various countries, which is especially evident in this magical world.

A group of ten people walked to the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, and stood opposite the tapestry where the troll stick beat the stupid Barnabas, and Bernard walked back and forth three times in front of the smooth wall, which made the young wizards a little confused about what the teacher was doing, but when Bernard finished walking and stood in front of the wall, they opened their mouths in surprise, because a simple and luxurious door appeared on the smooth wall before.

Following Bernard pushing the door and entering, the little wizards were still amazed, and when they saw the whole room, they were even more surprised and didn't know what to say. The first thing that catches my eye is a large platform made of unknown materials, with test tubes, beakers, tubes that I don't know where to go, and some mysterious magic arrays, but the intelligent Hermione saw some clues from this magic array. In addition to this huge operating table, there are five small tables, which are much simpler than this large platform and look more like a desk.

Asking everyone to sit down in pairs, Bernard cleared his throat and said: "Everyone is here today, before the main topic begins, I have a few words to say, after that, you can choose to leave or stay." I'm going to form the first study group at Hogwarts, and I personally prefer to call this group the Philosopher's Stone, because this group was created to learn alchemy, but any young wizard who wants to continue his studies with me must sign an agreement that no one should divulge information about the Philosopher's Stone to anyone else. ”

Seeing the little wizard's confused look, Bernard continued to explain: "I formed this study group in the hope of improving the alchemy level of some students, and then helping other students learn alchemy, but there is a problem here, that is, knowledge is priceless, everyone chooses to come here today, if you are willing to stay later, then I naturally don't mind imparting some advanced knowledge, and contact some training that most wizards can't reach, but if someone passes it on, This is an infringement on the interests of all of us, so if you are willing to stay, please sign a confidentiality agreement and not reveal the advanced knowledge I have imparted and the special training I have conducted on you to other wizards. ”

After speaking, Bernard waved his wand, and a piece of parchment floated in front of everyone, "If you are willing to stay, sign your name on it, there is a secret magic I have applied on it, once you sign your name and leak things to outsiders that should not be revealed, you will naturally be punished, of course, as long as you are willing to stay, there are many benefits." ”

Quietly waiting for the young wizards to think for a while, the Hufflepuff students seemed to want to leave but were afraid of Bernard's majesty, and Harry and Ron were afraid to move because of the threats in Ginny and Hermione's eyes. Malfoy sat still, thoughtful.

Seeing that everyone hadn't left, the parchment fell in front of Hermione and began to sign in turn, and while everyone signed, Bernard began to explain: "This is the place where everyone will meet in the future, after signing, everyone can get a ring, and when the fever is hot, there will be time on it, and everyone will come here to gather." This room is called the Room of Requirement, and you only need to meditate in your mind, 'I need a standard alchemy room' and walk back and forth three times to come in, and I will wait for you here, and after you sign and make a test paper, we will achieve the purpose of today's meeting." ”

With a wave of his wand, the test paper flew in front of everyone, and Bernard sat there silently, watching everyone bury their heads in answers.
