Chapter 928 Friendship Party and Hunting

The social evening in the Gryffindor common room has begun.

Just like the difference between the colors of the flags of each house in Hogwarts, the banquets hosted by each house will also present a completely different atmosphere and personality. For example, Slytherin House’s exquisite buffet that focuses on social interaction, Hufflepuff’s

Qi Academy emphasizes sumptuous and delicious food banquets. If Elena were to use one word to describe the scene in front of her, it would be

Playground.

Or to be more precise, a magical version of a garden party.

Compared to the little wizards who lack entertainment activities, Elena naturally knows how to host a lively banquet, and in her opinion, there is no more suitable Gryffindor House-style social party than the "Magic Garden Party"

.

The Hogwarts kitchen provides an extremely rich range of food, but at least half of it is temporarily purchased from Hogsmeade.

"Oh, Percy, even if you are my brother, you have to abide by the rules of the game."

Ron sat on the left side of the room away from the fireplace and righteously rejected Percy's suggestion that he was trying to let loose.

He took out his wand and knocked on the marble wizard chessboard in front of him, and the chess pieces that were shattered on the ground stood up again, but they did not return to their original appearance, but returned to the appearance of a certain endgame as if they had regretted their chess.

Beside Ron, there were several similar chessboards, and many little wizards were thinking hard in front of the chessboards.

"If you win, you can get two coupons for the whole game, and if you tie, you will get butter beer as a reward. But even if you lose, you will still get a reward. Well, lollipop quill, this is a little tip for you and Penello,

Don’t pay too much attention to the queen..."

Ron took the two lollipop quills from Harry and handed them to Percy, whispering while no one was around.

As the vendor of Gryffindor's "Wizard's Chess Endgame" game, he really couldn't let go.

After all, there are so many spectators watching. If he acts too obviously, all the prizes will be given out in less than a while. Elena helped him get only ten endgame chess pieces, so at least he has to find a way to hold on.

Ends tonight.

"...Don't pay too much attention...Queen?"

Percy was stunned for half a second, still thinking about Ron's prompt.

At this moment, a burst of cheers suddenly erupted from the other side of the common room.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze... Let's see, Senior Meryl's group has won. You can use the vouchers to exchange for things. As for the others, it's a handful of Bibi's multi-flavor beans... Okay, the next group

You have to form a team.”

Hermione stood on the small circular wooden platform, trying to maintain order.

Behind her are three huge 9X9 stone slabs, one of which is now filled with the numbers 1-9.

Meryl Streep was counting the coupons she had just earned from the "Sudoku" game with a satisfied look on her face, while George Weasley was standing with a silly smile on his face holding a lot of dolls and snacks.

Next to her, she seemed even happier than winning the game.

Penello looked at the dolls with some envy, and then at the pitiful lollipop in his hand.

"Let's go over there, Percy. I realize that chess is really not your strong point..."

"Sudoku...hiss...that one seems to be difficult too"

Percy glanced at the slowly fading and changing numbers behind Hermione, feeling a little troubled.

Different from Ron's level, the biggest problem there is the competition for three Sudoku boards and three groups of players.

Only the winners can receive redemption voucher rewards, and the number of redemption vouchers depends on the length of time used. In Percy's impression, this seems to be the first group to successfully pass the level tonight, and it is not difficult to understand the sudden burst of cheers just now.

.

"It's okay, it's just a Sudoku question in "Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue"."

Penello moved his wrist and his eyes glowed with a competitive light.

"Eh? But, I almost..."

Percy was stunned for half a second, and he was about to say try the endgame again.

Just a moment ago, Percy finally understood the hint that Ron quietly gave:

If the queen had been replaced just now, they could have at least tied with Ron, and maybe even won their first victory.

"You said the same thing the five times before. Let's go play something else first... Otherwise, all the prizes will be replaced by others. Don't worry, it's just Sudoku. Weasley, just help me cast a spell to adjust the numbers. The rest

I'll take care of it!"

Penello rolled his eyes at the "useless man" beside him angrily, and his long eyelashes made Percy tremble in his heart.

She is also a Ravenclaw student and the girlfriend of the "useless man" of the Weasley family. She cannot lose to her senior sister at any cost.

After dozens of minutes of observation, Penello finally came to his senses. Maybe the silly goose was considerate and serious, but in terms of playing, he was not even as good as some lower-grade students. For the prize, she had to

Starting to exert strength.

"Penny, the last, last shot, or..."

Percy scratched his cheek, trying to save his last bit of dignity as a boyfriend.

Before he could finish speaking, Percy felt someone tap his shoulder.

"Weasley, in view of my relationship with your father, I think I should give you a little advice. Whether it is correct or not is not important at certain times. What is important is your little girlfriend's mood. Go somewhere else to have fun first.

Bar……"

"Huh? Boo, Professor Black? Professor Lupin?! Why are you here too?"

Percy turned around and saw Sirius Black lining up behind him, as if he had been waiting beside him for a long time.

Behind Sirius, Lupine, the formal professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, looked a little helpless. He looked as if he was being forcibly pulled here. It was more like being pulled to stand together than in line.

.

"What's wrong, professor can't attend the social party? Don't worry, I don't object to students' normal interactions."

Sirius Black grinned and glanced at Penello, who was blushing shyly because of his words.

This lively scene reminded him of the days when he was studying at Hogwarts. As a famous bad boy, he really knew how to help those little guys who unfortunately met a strong girlfriend.

Of course, he can only give a little advice, after all, he himself is still a bachelor.

"What's wrong, Padfoot, are you attracted to a certain student?"

Remus Lupine touched Sirius on the shoulder and said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"You are now a formal professor. If you are discovered by Professor McGonagall, it may not be as simple as confinement. Of course, if you plan to develop a sincere relationship leading to marriage, I can help you assure Dumbledore."

"Don't be stupid. It's so troublesome for Moon Face to get married. I don't want there to be more Blacks in the world."

Sirius refused without hesitation, squatted down and looked at Ron who was rearranging the situation, and said mysteriously.

"Hey, how about I give you extra points, and then you give us the lottery ticket directly?"

"Sirius!" Lupine frowned.

"Just kidding, I'm not a guy like Snape who deducts points randomly without principles."

Sirius Black glanced at Ron, who froze in his seat, his little face flushed with nervousness. The youngest boy in the Weasley family was obviously stronger than his brother, and at least he had to be able to resist the extra points.

lure.

"The rules are chess, right? Let's get started. Professor Lupine was the Gryffindor chess master during his school days."

As he spoke, Sirius pushed Lupine onto the seat in front of Ron with a playful smile.

"That was a long time ago, and I didn't either"

Lu Ping said helplessly, with an expression of indescribable resistance. When it comes to playing chess with students, winning is nothing to be proud of, but losing is still somewhat embarrassing, although he himself doesn't care.

"...This is different, I believe you can definitely do it!"

Sirius winked at Lupine and said with a meaningful smirk.

"Uh, okay...Queen, D6, Chek"

Lupine shook his head. Under Ron's somewhat strange eyes, he cleared his throat and directed his queen to take the initiative to come within the attack range of the opponent's knight and perform a seemingly meaningless death act.

At the same time, it is also the only starting move that can lead to a draw and win in this endgame.

As a werewolf, Professor Lupine has much stronger hearing, vision, and smell than ordinary wizards.

With the way Ron lowered his voice just now, not to mention Remus Lupin, even Sirius Black could clearly hear that Animagus is not only a transformation magic, it can also slightly change wizards.

part of the constitution.

"Katie, don't hesitate. If this continues, all the boys will be snatched away by Ravenclaw's Bitchi."

On the spiral staircase on the right side of the Gryffindor common room, Angelina pushed her best friend beside her.

Compared to the heartless boys, as the Ravenclaw girls poured into the lounge, the girls in Gryffindor House instantly smelled the signal of war. The Ravenclaw girls all melted today.

Makeup, even light makeup, is a war!

It is obvious that this is a long-planned and carefully organized team battle!

Due to the carelessness caused by the home field advantage, the Gryffindor girls accidentally suffered a big loss in the first wave of contact.

Immediately afterwards, I don't know who started it, but almost all the senior Gryffindor girls sneaked back to the girls' dormitory above for various reasons, and hurriedly started to dress up and prepare to find their place.

Although they suffered a big loss in the first-tier group, they are still confident that they can make it back little by little with their home court advantage... right?

"Angelina... look at that silly roe deer in your house..."

Before Katie Bell could answer, Aaliyah Spinnet suddenly nudged Angelina with her elbow several times.

Following the direction of her finger, beside the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room, a lonely Fred was performing tricks with butterbeer bottles. There were a lot of Ravenclaw girls surrounding him, and they made extremely loud noises from time to time.

Feigned screams and cheers.

And the most outrageous thing is that some shameless Bitchi actually tried to feed Fred with fruit.

"You guys pack up first, I'll go down first..."

Angelina Johnson dropped the comb that was broken in half and rushed downwards with a smile.

A few seconds later, Fred's screams of pain and agony announced the start of the team fight among the girls.

"What are we going to do, Katie...what are your plans? Huh?"

Alia Spinnet curled her lips, and after taking time to admire Fred's tragic end, she turned her head and realized that Katie Bell's eyes had not stayed on Angelina and Fred, but on

He looked to the other side of the lounge.

Different from the large areas of golden red and bronze blue in the lounge, that corner is dotted with silvery green and brownish yellow.

In addition to Ravenclaw students, a small number of Hufflepuff and Slytherin students also came to today's social evening.

"Wait a minute, Katie, are you ready to start hunting other colleges?" Aria asked in surprise.

"Those guys in Gryffindor are too familiar with each other. Most of them are good buddies. There is really nothing we can do."

Katie Bell shrugged, her gaze resting on the somewhat restrained boys from the outer courtyard, her eyes flashing with eagerness to try, "Those Ravenclaws can reach out, why can't we take the initiative?"

"Wait a minute, over there, you're not planning on finding a Slytherin boyfriend, are you?"

Alia Spinnet was stunned for half a second and said in disbelief.

"Strictly speaking, it's not impossible to consider..."

Katie pressed her fingers gently on her lips, and a dazzling brilliance rose in her eyes.

"But it's not the current students. Don't you think the graduates... well, for example, the former captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team, looks much more reliable than those childish ghosts below?"

"Speaking of it this way, it seems..."

Alia Spinnet blinked and looked around at the silent boys in the outer courtyard.

"The Hufflepuff guys, especially Cedric, seem pretty good."

"So...come on?"

"come on!"

They cheered each other up and quickly started tonight's hunt.

In fact, apart from Alia and Katie, there are not a few Gryffindor girls who have changed their goals.

Compared with the impulsive, reckless, and playful little boys from Gryffindor House, the group of students from Hufflepuff House and the "Master of Magic" students who came here curiously to participate in the fellowship are obviously more mature.

Like the definition of a man.

"Well...it seems that the overall effect today is good."

At the door of the Gryffindor common room, Elena's eyes wandered around the room for a while.

"Unexpectedly, it was the Gryffindor girls who noticed the treasure first... It seems that they will have to pay more attention in the future. If those young and energetic 'magic graduate students' want to develop further, it will be very embarrassing.

It’s quite a headache.”

In her peripheral vision, Ginny Weasley and Qiu Zhang looked a little eager to try.

Obviously, after thinking about it, Coach Hermione was ready to try the honey trap.

After all, if everything goes well, Ginny and Qiu alone can defeat two extremely powerful Quidditch teams for their Hogwarts freshmen team and lock in four victories. Considering Ginny's identity, there may be more.

Target a team.

"I really want to see the result after that... Tsk... I'm so annoyed..."

Elena sighed with some reluctance, quietly pushed away the portrait of the Fat Lady, and left the lounge.

Outside the lounge door, an old man with a long silver-white beard was putting away the pocket watch in his hand, looking at the little mixed-race Veela who appeared outside the Gryffindor lounge on time with a smile, and said softly.

"Let's go, Professor McGonagall has been waiting for you for a long time..."

Great!
