Chapter 188: Celebratory Dinner
It took about a few days for the situation to subside.
As newspapers and gossip spread, the Slytherin Chamber was solved, the millennium basilisk was killed, and the crisis was resolved.
The students who had been scared away were gradually returning to school.
It's the end of May, and there's still half a month left before the holiday. There's also a final exam!
This year, especially in the second half of the year, it can be said that the situation has gradually escalated, not to mention that the students have no heart to learn, and even the professors are too anxious to teach.
Especially our Professor Lockhart, ah, he's been admitted to St. Mungo's Hospital now, before Malfoy arrived.
Now he is hospitalized in the pediatric department, with patients who are two or three years old.
The doctor said: "We have no choice but to try to keep him with his peers and see if he can get better." ”
It must be said that Professor Lockhart used Ron's wand to perform a Temper Oblivion Charm, which was too strong.
There are often cases of severe forgetfulness caused by the sequelae of the forgetting spell that are too strong, and even for several years.
But it's rare for Professor Lockhart to directly wash all his personality memories in vain.
Dr. St. Mungo's doctor also thought that this case was too new, and even called some famous doctors from other countries to consult with him, but the conclusion was not very good—probably Professor Lockhart might be alive again.
Of course, it can be said that Lockhart has been reborn with high emotional intelligence~
The professors are like this, can the students get better?
In this case, the students' grades are terrible.
Not to mention the final exams, it is very difficult to complete the professors' homework.
Especially now that Snape is temporarily substitute for Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the homework is tricky. There are also special problems to make it difficult to go into the secret room alone and fight the "heroes" of the basilisk!
This time Snape was really angry, and even Harley didn't let it go.
Snape: If I don't let you know something, are you going to challenge the dragon next time?! Yes?!
Therefore, Ted and Hermione's homework has become a hot commodity in the past two days, and everyone has to learn from it.
……
On the last day of May, the school decided to host a celebratory dinner to celebrate Hogwarts, a thousand-year-old school, for surviving this major crisis.
The students of the Celebration School have dealt with the monsters in the Slytherin Chamber - although they sacrificed the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, this is normal, and it is time for the Throwaway Professor to reach the expiration date.
Many students who bet Lockhart to survive a year at the beginning of the school year were reluctant to take out their pocket money.
The dinner party had already begun at the dawn of the day.
Now the house-elf chefs in the Hogwarts kitchens don't just work behind the scenes.
Now it's right at one end of the auditorium to make food on the spot.
What is fried, stewed, fried, boiled and grilled, what is a red case and a white case looking up at the starry sky, what is foie gras caviar, what is an African snail, an Australian lobster......
In this year, the chefs of the kitchen gave full play to the creative desire that had been backlogged for decades, and the creation and research in food was simply embarrassing!
In particular, several "medicinal diets" jointly developed with Ted, which are magic cooking with magical plants and even potions, are not only delicious and explosive, but also have various magical effects when eaten.
From nourishing yin and aphrodisiac to stabilizing the mind, from restoring physical strength to temporarily enhancing mana, from resisting abnormal states to enhancing magical effects, and even special effects such as being able to breathe fire after eating.
This was approved by Professor Sprout and Snape.
Although Snape felt that it was foolish to delay his time by verifying the effects of medicinal diets, Professor McGonagall, as Vice Chancellor, had to go!
After all, the salmon and seafood assorted cat rice in the kitchen is also a must!
Now, the whole auditorium is filled with aromas, the sound of all kinds of spoons and piers is endless, and from time to time a roaring fire in the pot causes a burst of exclamations - you can watch a show before eating, and you can make a lot of money!
The dark clouds that hung over Hogwarts and over everyone's hearts lifted, and the ease and joy were on everyone's faces. Even Snape's old face was much more relaxed.
At this time, a young wizard approached him and said that he wanted to ask Ted to sing a song to liven up the atmosphere.
At the mention of this, everyone cheered.
It's hard to be warm, and Ted doesn't shirk: "Okay, okay, don't make noise, don't make a fuss." I'll sing a song, and then everyone wants to show it, okay? ”
The people next to him cheered, and some of the more lively students were already a little gearing up. Like Ron.
Ron: What am I going to do? I...... I'm going to show you a chicken with two mouthfuls?
As soon as Ted raised his hand, a chair turned into a wooden table, and the movements were light and relaxed.
Some of the sharp-eyed students in the upper grades were more intuitive about Ted's magical prowess, because it was something they simply couldn't do.
Because of the gradual increase in the level of magic spells and spiritual attributes, the difficulty of magic began to plummet in his hands, so he could play a lot of tricks.
Ted pulled out a fist-sized music box-like object from his bosom, snapped his fingers, and the sound of music came from inside.
"A song "New Soul" for everyone~"
"I'm a brand new soul~"
"Come to this strange world~"
"I'm looking forward to learning how to give and gain~"
"Since coming here, I've experienced joy and fear~"
“La,la,la,la,La,la,la,la……”
The light-hearted and cheerful tune is accompanied by Ted's singing, which makes people revel in a relaxed and joyful mood.
The classmates all looked up at Ted slightly, humming softly to the uncomplicated tune.
The professors in the distance were also there, and Professor Flitwick made no secret of his admiration for his disciple, standing in his chair and waving his wand lightly, as if conducting an orchestra.
Professor McGonagall smiled at Ted, who was listening to a crowd in the distance, clapping her hand softly.
Snape turned his head stubbornly, but listened with his ears skewed, reminding himself not to be bewitched by the singing.
Dumbledore pushed his meniscus and looked at the starry moon Ted.
It was as if he had seen this scene somewhere.
Not Tom, Tom's character is hugely flawed, and he only uses intimidation and force to maintain his authority. Once this authority falls, it is a complete failure.
So, who is it?
Be...... It's Grindelwald, his own old buddy.
At the beginning of this century, when they were all young, the followers who were attracted to him looked at him like this. This kind of look is too familiar, he has seen too much, including himself.
Dumbledore thought about it a lot, and the old memories that had been precipitated for a long time came flooding back again, and dead memories began to attack him.
One moment Grindelwald, one moment Tom Riddle, the next Ted.
I have lived for a hundred years and done a lot of things, but I have also made a lot of mistakes.
Perhaps, I should talk to him openly and honestly? This time you must not make mistakes, and you have no capital to make mistakes.
Ted finished singing and received thunderous applause.
"Students, if you want to show off your talents, come up. This thing can give you accompaniment, but only if you know the accompaniment. Inject mana into it......"
After Ted demonstrated his alchemy + magic toy making, he jumped off the small stage, and the other students jumped on it.
Ted's "portable karaoke" in his spare time helped a lot.
After all, anyone can sing with two voices, regardless of whether it's good or bad, but you can't get it if you haven't learned the instrument.
With this "portable karaoke" that can be accompanied, it is really beautiful!
Someone even asked Ted how much this thing cost?
Ted didn't need to make any money from this stuff anymore, so he said, "I'll give the Weasley twins how to make it, and if you like it, you can ask them to buy it!" ”
The Weasley twins immediately hugged Ted, "Ted, you're our own brother!" ”
Ron┌(。 Д。 ┐: What about me?
Twins: You picked it up!
"Ted, do you think I still have a chance?" Ron asked earnestly. He also wants to make money! Dream it!
Ted looked at him, "Do you know the Pollist III of the Changing Charm?" ”
Shaking his head - how do I know what a Potter Type 3 is, Harley's relatives?
"Do you know the basic alchemy brass toughening?"
Shaking the head - copper smelting? I'm not familiar with this!
"Do you know any kind of perception spell, or an ancient magic text that has a mana storage effect?"
Still shaking his head - isn't the Ancient Demon Script only starting next year?
It can be called a question that I don't know, and I shake my head after three questions.
Ted patted Ron on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Ron, come on!" ”
Give you a chance, you won't be useful~
Ron: "I don't think we're brothers, so we don't have to be so separated. George, the two of them will do it. ”
I'd better eat chicken thighs!
