Chapter 14: The Beginning of the Rise of the Eaglery
By this time, the plates on the table were already full of food.
And the abundance of dishes is stunning, after all, this is a country known as looking up at the starry sky. Roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausages, steaks, boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, potato chips, Yorkshire pudding, pea sprouts, carrots, gravy, ketchup.
Well, that's right, potatoes can make three dishes.
However, the house-elves of Hogwarts still lack imagination, and if the potatoes are mixed with meat, can't they immediately launch more than a dozen combinations?
The rest of the students had already started eating, and some of them were even munching on them without any image.
Although Hermione still had something to ask Li Lin, looking at the situation around her, she felt that she was indeed a little hungry, so she had to turn her attention to eating first.
Li Lin took some steaks, some lamb chops, and roast beef. It's not that I don't want to eat vegetables, it's just that there are no vegetables or non-meat on the table that meet your appetite.
As I ate, I watched the ghosts sitting in Slytherin and the noisy ghosts on the Gryffindor side.
I don't know how these students ate and eat.
After all, some ghosts are really not very friendly.
And,Just like many girls are afraid of small bugs,There should be a small number of people who have a sense of fear of ghosts.,This group of people is at the same table with ghosts when they eat.,I don't know if I'm nervous? Gotta stuff the rice into the nostrils.
Thinking about it this way, Li Lin thought that the sorting standard of Gryffindor is courage, so the situation of Gryffindor should be better, at most, when he was in the first grade, he was a little frightened during the first few meals, and he will get used to it in the future.
When everyone is full, the rest of the food on the plate disappears from the plate. The plates and forks are as smooth as ever.
After a while, dessert appeared after the meal. Pudding, ice cream of all flavors, apple pie, smug cake, chocolate muffin, fried jam doughnut, wine jam pudding, strawberry, jelly, rice pudding...... Some of the remaining species were unrecognizable to Li Lin.
But he had an appetite and picked up an ice cream. As for Hermione, she rolled her eyes very cutely. Staring at the dessert on the table, it was like there was hatred.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to taste it? ”
Li Lin leaned sideways and whispered into Hermione's ear.
"No, if you eat too much at night, it's not good for your health."
Li Lin blinked his eyes suspiciously, and then understood that it should be referring to the size, but listening to Hermione's tone of hesitation, he helped her make a decision.
Reaching for another ice cream and handing it to Hermione.
"It's an ice cream that symbolizes friendship. You have to accept it, what's wrong with being fat? It's so cute. ”
Hermione almost snatched the ice cream, then glared at Li Lin fiercely, then leaned over slightly and hesitantly ate the ice cream.
But the process didn't last long, and Hermione was back in to discuss the course with Li Lin. didn't ask the seniors who knew more about this matter, but talked with Li Lin, a freshman.
Although Li Lin had never taken a class, he knew a little bit about it, and first told Hermione about the House Cup, and then told Hermione that the teachers of each course like to ask questions about the textbook knowledge of the first grade when teaching the first-year freshmen, and the correct answers can basically get extra points, unless it is targeted by some teachers.
Hermione was very excited to hear the news, and looking at her level of excitement, Li Lin suspected that Hermione would be carrying the textbooks for tomorrow's class all night after returning to the dormitory tonight.
However, Hermione also thought of Li Lin's last sentence, and she asked in a low voice.
"An academy that has been targeted by certain teachers? Isn't Hogwarts fair and just? ”
Li Lin hurriedly explained that he didn't dare to let Hermione think that the magic academy was too dark, and finally he was too scared to come to school.
"Actually, I'm talking about Professor Snape."
After Li Lin said the name, he felt a little chilled, and secretly glanced at the podium, convinced that Professor Snape was not looking at him, and then said to Hermione.
"Professor Snape is the Head of Slytherin and has a great deal of dislike for Gryffindors, probably because Gryffindor and Slytherin classes are often lined up together, and they are often prone to conflicts. So, once in Professor Snape's Potions class, Gryffindor was often deducted points. ”
"Oh my God! How could he do that? Deducted points? Do I mean we're going to get deducted points? ”
Hermione was a little panicked, apparently though she hadn't been in class until now, she hadn't gotten a single point. But Hermione had come to see scoring as her responsibility.
"That's not true, our classes are usually taken with Hufflepuffs, although the first-year students buy standard potions, but these materials are simply not enough to consume in Potions class, and most of the herbs actually used come from the Hufflepuff head, Professor Pomona Sprout, the professor of the herbology class, who was cultivated in her botanical garden. Plus Ravenclaw, in the name of wisdom, and not clumsily making mistakes in Potions class like the reckless little lions of Gryffindor, so Professor Snape was still very fair to us. ”
As he spoke, Li Lin explained again.
"Maybe it's because Gryffindors can't sit still and are brave and reckless, so they often get into trouble as if they were restrained in the rigorous Potions class, which is probably why Professor Snape doesn't have a good opinion of them."
Li Lin tried to save Hermione's opinion of the school, and at the same time, he didn't mind smearing Gryffindor House, after all, what he said was not too far from the truth.
In the middle of the conversation, the dessert on the table disappeared and Professor Dumbledore stood up.
In an instant, the restaurant returned to silence.
Li Lin also lowered his head, he instinctively didn't dare to look at this wizard. After all, he subconsciously regarded the other party as an enemy, and he was worried that this hostility would be discovered.
Dumbledore began to speak.
"Oh, now that everyone is full and drunk, I want to say a few more words to everyone. At the beginning of the semester, I would like to make a few points to note with you. ”
"First-year students are aware that the woods on campus are off-limits to students. Some of our old classmates should also remember this. ”
"Also, Mr. Filch, the administrator, wants me to remind everyone not to do magic in the hallways between classes.
"The Quidditch player review will take place in the second week of the term. If you are interested in joining the college team, please contact Mrs. Huo Qi.
"Finally, I must tell you that anyone who does not want to suffer an accident and die a painful and tragic death should not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor."
The threat of death was like a pebble thrown into the lake, and although few people took it seriously, the laughter and whispers spread out.
Dumbledore continued to speak as if he hadn't heard. Of course, this may also be because there are only a few sentences left, after all, it is not like the principals of Li Lin's previous life.
"I'll talk a little more, and I'll say one last minute......"
Li Lin hurriedly shook the picture out of his mind. I was almost scared.
"Now, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!"
Dumbledore exclaimed, and with a flick of his wand, a long ribbon of gold flew out of it, writhing like a snake over the high dining table.
The magic instantly attracted many people, and Hermione sat straight and stared at the words.
"Each person chooses their favorite tune."
Dumbledore said.
"Ready, sing!"
So all the teachers and students sang loudly: Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, please teach us knowledge, whether we are old people who have lost our heads or children who have broken our knees, our minds can accept some interesting things.
Because now our minds are empty, full of air, dead flies and trivialities, teaching us some valuable knowledge, giving back to us what we have forgotten, you just have to do your best, and leave the rest to ourselves, and we will study hard until we turn into dung.
This school song, everyone sang it in fragments, some people were faster, some people chose the tune more slowly, as for Li Lin, he wanted to sing ninety-nine eighty-one, and he wanted to sing one of my Taoist friends, but in the end, the tune was mixed, and he even hummed a few words of the tune of powering the world. In the end, I had no choice but to give up.
Only the Weasleys' twin brothers continued to sing to the slow melody of the Funeral March. They are also easily recognizable, the first twins, the second redhead.
Dumbledore himself commanded the last few bars for both of them with his wand, and when they finished singing, he applauded the loudest.
"Music,"
Dumbledore rubbed his eyes and said.
"More charismatic than anything we did here! It's bedtime time. Let's go back to the dormitory. ”
This scene also made Li Lin believe in his own reasoning again, Gryffindor people should prefer to attract the attention of others and be self-centered, in other words, Leo's personality.
It is precisely because of this that there is always a sense of justice. Because they need praise more, they prefer to do things that seem righteous.
This is actually not good news for Li Lin. Perhaps he wants to lead the rise of the Eaglery, and the clever Ravenclaw is more of a wizard than a wizard with a samurai personality. Or rather, a mage, so he will save time and will join the winning side.
In this way, if you can lead the Eagle Academy and become a leader among the students of the Eagle Academy, it will also be very helpful for the future.
