Chapter 12: The Dinner Party and the Music
Surrounded by warblers, Ralph and Claude eat all sorts of "what they think is delicious."
The seniors also introduce the college, and the ghost of Ravenclaw is Ms. Gray.
"Ms. Gray looks very proud, but in fact she is very kind, she is a kind-hearted, beautiful, and cultivated lady."
Then it was about the doorknocker of the Ravenclaw common room they loved and hated.
This made the new little wizard have a strong curiosity about this question-loving knocker.
"Why are these fish so weird?"
Ralph saw some fish on the table, and the familiar way of dying was the one he had given to his neighbors and subjects in the Forbidden Forest.
"These fish. It was sent by the centaurs, and it is said that when Hogwarts accepted this batch of fish, all the professors came to see the fun. ”
A senior sister explained on the side, apparently, she is very well-informed.
"Is it delicious?" A freshwoman asked weakly.
"After the cooking of the house elves, it's still good, but there is an electric power in it, and it will be electrocuted when you eat it, and you can see who around you shakes it, or the hair stands up, it means that you are eating this fish."
Rita Skeeter, the same senior sister just now, said.
They looked around and saw that there were quite a few people shaking, and they couldn't help but try.
Ralph took a bite too, narrowing his eyes, his hair standing on end, but his body didn't shake.
'Is my electric roasting skill built into every skill?' Ralph thought.
Grilling fish also requires technology, otherwise the fish can only be cooked electrically and cannot be stored in the fish's body.
Looking around, Ralph noticed that his electric fish was quite popular, with the big man Hagrid and Headmaster Dumbledore eating the most.
When everyone ate with their bellies open, the rest of the food disappeared from the plate.
The plates are as smooth as ever.
After a while, the pudding came up. Ice cream in all flavours, apple pies, fruit tarts in syrup......
Ralph also tasted a lot of desserts recommended by the seniors, and felt that the taste was not as good as that made by Ms. Rosmerta.
Looking at the guest of honor, Ralph began to identify the teacher as the seniors had said.
In addition to Hai Kee, the most conspicuous professor is Professor Kettleburn, after all, he only has one arm and one leg that is original, and he teaches to protect magical biology.
It is said that he also set a record for staying in the school during his teaching at Hogwarts, and is known as the "crown of the school visit", which is unrivaled so far.
Professor Horace Slughorn, a bald old man as fat as a walrus, with bulging eyes and a silver beard as thick as a walrus, was the Head of Slytherin and taught Potions classes.
Pomona Sprout was a short, gray-haired witch who was amiable and often had a gentle smile, and she was the head of Hufflepuff, teaching herb classes.
Minerva McGonagall looks a serious middle-aged witch, and according to the seniors, she is an extremely impartial professor, and despite being the head of Gryffindor, she deducts the most points from her house, teaching Transfiguration.
Filius Flitwick, Ralph's headmaster, teaches Charms and is a gentle, humorous little wizard.
Despite his elven blood, no one would underestimate him, as he has won several consecutive International Wizarding Duel Tournaments, and his classes are loved by his students.
......
Eventually, the pudding disappeared and Professor Dumbledore stood up again, and silence returned to the Great Hall.
"Oh, now that you're all fed and drunk, I'm going to say a few more words to you. 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 wooded area on the school grounds is off-limits to any students. Some of our old classmates should also remember this. ”
Dumbledore's shining eyes swept towards Gryffindor, and Ralph noticed that his gaze lingered for a moment on the four wizards sitting side by side.
"Yes, Mr. Filch, the administrator, also wants me to remind everyone not to use 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 Ms. Huo Qi. ”
"Now, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!" Dumbledore exclaimed.
Perhaps no one except the Gryffindor students liked the session, and the smiles of the teachers froze.
Dumbledore flicked his wand, and a long ribbon of gold floated out of it, twisting and coiling like a snake over the dining table.
"Everyone chooses their favorite tune." Dumbledore said, "Ready, sing!" ”
So, all the teachers and students sang loudly:
Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts,
Teach us knowledge,
Whether we are old men,
Or a child who fell and broke his knee
Our minds can be receptive
Something interesting.
Because our minds are empty and full of air,
Dead flies and trivialities,
Teach us something valuable,
Give us back to us what we have forgotten,
You just have to do your best, and we will take care of the rest.
We will study hard until we turn into dung.
This time, Ravenclaw's singing voice was crisp and loud, and Gryffindor was not to be outdone, and for some reason, the two fought over the singing.
Gryffindor, though there are many boys, is no match for the soprano of the Ravenclaw witches.
The Ravenclaw sopranos are like cheerful ponies, galloping and jumping across the prairie of Gryffindor's rich male vocal group.
Unconsciously, it seems that there is a mysterious force affecting everyone, and the original chaotic sound is gradually unified and layered, and the singing voice is really moving.
Except for Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, who have been competing for the lead vocals, the whole chorus is very harmonious and beautiful.
Gryffindor is loud, and Ravenclaw is an octave in pitch.
As soon as Ravenclaw relented, Gryffindor couldn't wait to raise their voices.
At the end of the day, the Ravenclaw little witches looked at the Gryffindor boys viciously, but the boys were still grinning, unaware of the seriousness of the matter.
However, the witches of their academy looked at it defiantly.
provoked many of their sisters to stomp their feet.
The Ravenclaw boys also can't say their bitterness, their own girls soar high notes, they can't help but follow, many boys are already dumb halfway, and now they have a dry tongue, as if there is something blocked in their throats.
However, it all stems from Ralph's sentence, "Senior sister, I can't sing, what should I do?" ”
"I'll teach you!" *n
Ralph, who was the initiator, easily followed their pitches, and also used [Sound into the Heart], which covered the entire auditorium along with the singing.
This made the unsuspecting professors join the chorus, and after a chorus, they actually felt hearty and comfortable.
"The music is so touching!" Dumbledore wiped his eyes and said:
"This year's school song is the best I've ever heard, and there is no one. Praise Ravenclaw and Gryffindor for their beautiful singing for us, plus 30 points each! ”
Cheers came from the corresponding long table, and the badgers applauded eagerly, except for the Slytherins.
Dumbledore pressed his hands down, and when everyone was quiet, "It's bedtime time, let's go back to the dormitory." ”
Ralph and them, surrounded by the seniors, climbed to the top floor.
That's right, it's the top floor!!
During this period, there were still people talking there, but in the back, only the senior seniors were still talking.
