Chapter 189 Celebration Dinner
It took about a few days, and the situation gradually subsided.
With the spread of newspapers and folk gossip, the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets was solved, the Millennium Basilisk was killed, and the news that the crisis was resolved became widely known.
The students who were scared away before are gradually returning to school.
It's the end of May now, half a month before the holiday. And the final exam!
This year, especially in the second half of the year, the situation has gradually escalated. Not to mention the students are not in the mood to learn, even the professors are so overwhelmed that they don't have the time to teach.
Especially our Professor Lockhart, ah, he's been sent to St. Mungo's Hospital now, earlier than Malfoy.
Now he is in the pediatric hospital, with patients who are two or three years old.
The doctor said: "There is nothing we can do about his situation. We can only try to let him stay with his peers to see if he can get better."
It must be said that Professor Lockhart used Ron's wand to cast a Temper · Oblivion Charm, which was too strong.
Victims of the sequelae caused by too strong an amnesia spell often suffer from severe amnesia, which may not even heal for several years.
But it is really rare for Professor Lockhart to directly wash all his personality memories for nothing.
The doctor of St. Mungo also felt 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—Professor Lockhart might have to live again.
Of course, those with high emotional intelligence can say that Lockhart has gained a new life~
The professor is like this, can the students get better?
In this case, the students' grades are terrible.
Not to mention the final exam, it is very difficult to complete the homework of the professors.
Especially now that Snape is temporarily substituting for Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the homework after class is tricky. They also specially set up difficult problems to embarrass the "heroes" who go deep into the secret room and fight against the basilisk!
Snape was really angry this time, even Harry didn't let it go.
Snape: If I don't let you know how powerful it is, are you going to challenge the fire dragon next time? ! ah? !
So, the homework of Ted and Hermione has become popular these two days, and everyone should learn from it.
…
On the last day of May, the school decided to hold a gala dinner to celebrate Hogwarts, a millennium-renowned school, having survived this major crisis.
Celebrating the school's students solving the monster in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets—although they sacrificed the professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, this is normal, and the annual throw-away professor should have reached the expiration date.
Many students who had bet that Lockhart would be able to survive for a year at the beginning of the semester could only take out their pocket money unwillingly.
The dinner party had already started when it was just dark.
Now the house-elf chefs in the Hogwarts kitchens are not just working behind the scenes.
Now the food is being made on the spot directly at one end of the auditorium.
What are fried, braised, fried, soy, stewed and grilled, what red and white dishes look up at the starry sky, what foie gras caviar, what African snails, Australian lobsters...
During this year, the master chefs in the kitchen gave full play to their creative desires that had accumulated for decades, and their creation and research in food and beverages was simply ashamed!
Especially the several "medicinal diets" jointly developed with Ted, which are magical cooking with the addition of magical plants and even potions. Not only are they delicious, but they also have various magical effects after eating.
From nourishing yin and strengthening yang to stabilizing the mind, from restoring physical strength to temporarily enhancing magic power, from resisting abnormal states to enhancing magic effects, and even have 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 very stupid to waste his time because of verifying the effect of the medicinal diet, Professor McGonagall, as the vice-headmaster, said that he had to go too!
After all, the salmon and seafood assorted cat rice in the kitchen is also a must!
Now, the entire auditorium is filled with aroma, and the sound of chopping spoons can be heard endlessly. From time to time, a raging fire is ignited in the pot, causing a burst of exclamation-it is possible to watch a performance before eating, which is a lot of money!
The cloud over Hogwarts and everyone's hearts dissipated, and the ease and joy were reflected on everyone's faces. Even Snape's old face seemed to relax a lot.
At this time, a little wizard came to him and said that he wanted to ask Ted to sing a song to enliven the atmosphere.
When it was mentioned here, everyone booed.
The hospitality is hard to come by, and Ted did not refuse: "Okay, okay, don't make a fuss. I will sing a song, and then everyone who wants to show off can go on stage, okay?"
The people next to him cheered, and some of the more lively students were already gearing up. Like Ron.
Ron: What do I want? I... I'll show you two bites and one chicken?
As soon as Ted raised his hand, a chair turned into a wooden table, and his movements were understated and relaxed.
Some keen students in senior grades felt Ted's magical attainments more intuitively, because they couldn't do it at all.
Because the level of magic spells and spiritual attributes gradually increased, the difficulty of magic began to plummet in his hands, so he was able to play a lot of tricks.
"A song "NewSoul" for everyone~"
"I am a brand new soul~"
"Come to this strange world~"
"Looking forward to learning how to give and gain~"
“Since coming here, I have experienced both joy and fear~”
"La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la..."
The relaxed and cheerful tune is accompanied by Ted's singing, making people intoxicated in a relaxed and joyful mood.
The students looked up at Ted slightly, humming along with the uncomplicated tune.
Professors in the distance were also there. Professor Flitwick made no secret of his admiration for his apprentice, standing on the chair and waving his wand lightly, as if he was directing an orchestra.
Professor McGonagall also looked at Ted, who was surrounded by a group of people listening to him, with a smile, and tapped the time with his hands.
Snape turned his head away stubbornly, but listened with his ears open, reminding himself not to be bewitched by the singing.
Dumbledore pushed his crescent-shaped glasses, and quietly looked at the star-like Ted.
He seems to have seen this kind of scene somewhere.
Not Tom, Tom has a hugely flawed character who only uses intimidation and force to maintain his authority. Once this authority falls, it is a complete failure.
So, who is it?
It's... It's Grindelwald, his old buddy.
At the beginning, at the beginning of this century, when they were all young, those followers who were attracted by him looked at him like this. This look is too familiar, he has seen it too many times, including himself.
Dumbledore thought a lot, and the old memories that had been settled for a long time surged up again, and the dead memories began to attack him.
It's Grindelwald for a while, Tom Riddle for a while, Ted for a while.
I have lived for a hundred years, done many things, but also made many mistakes.
Maybe, I should have an open and honest talk with him? This time, he must not make a mistake. He no longer has the capital to make mistakes.
Ted finished singing and received thunderous applause.
"Students, if you want to show off your talents, please come up here. This thing can give you accompaniment, the premise is that you have to know the accompaniment. Put the magic power into it..."
Ted demonstrated the small toy he made with alchemy + spells, and jumped off the small performance stage, and other students jumped up shyly.
The "portable karaoke" Ted made in his spare time was a huge help.
After all, anyone can sing with two voices, regardless of whether it is good or bad, but you can't get a musical instrument without learning it.
With this "portable karaoke" that can accompany you, it's really beautiful!
Someone even asked Ted how much this thing cost?
Ted no longer needs to make money from this thing, so he said: "I will give the production method to the Weasley twins. If you like it, you can ask them to buy it!"
The Weasley twins hugged Ted immediately: "Ted, you are our brother!"
Ron┌(.Д.)┐: What about me?
Twins: You picked it up!
"Ted, do you think I still have a chance?" Ron asked eagerly. He also wants to make money! Dream about it!
Ted looked at him: "Do you know the Polister Type III of the Transformation Curse?"
Shaking his head—I don't know what type 3 Potter is, is it a relative of Harry's family?
"Know the basic alchemy of brass toughening?"
Shaking his head—copper smelting? I am not familiar with this!
"Do you know any kind of perception spell, or an ancient rune with a magic power storage effect?"
Still shaking his head—isn’t the ancient rune class starting next year?
It can be said that I don't know three times, 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 are useless~
Ron: "I don't think we need to be so clear about our brothers. George and the others just know how to do it."
I still eat chicken drumsticks!
