"Am I a little stupid?" Hailis lowered her head in embarrassment.
Joel was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
"I don't feel that way. I just feel that you can't let go when you cast the spell."
"Then it's settled between us!" Hailis raised her head and looked at Joel with her bright eyes.
In the eyes of young Haylis, if a child can practice magic spells with her for an afternoon without any complaints, she can already be called a friend.
Although Joel owed her a "favor", in Hailes' view, it was just a simple effort, effortless.
What's more, she herself didn't feel that she had really helped Joel much, at least it was incomparable with the afternoon's spell teaching.
Joel looked at Haylis's face, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and the black hair on both sides of her cheeks moved away slightly, revealing her clean and delicate face.
At this moment, Joel felt that the barrier between himself and Haylis was broken, and the vivid image of this girl was finally revealed in front of him.
"It's up to you, it's settled." Joel chuckled. After cleaning up the common room, he followed Haylis and left the tower to have dinner in the auditorium.
He looked at Hailis's slender back, but thought in his heart that he would trouble her again.
He had to rely on Hailes' good luck to extract the qualifications for the source of magic power, and he would not hesitate to trigger the system's mandatory mission again.
The original four deans' desks in the auditorium have been removed, leaving only the teachers' bench at the far end of the auditorium.
This is what Principal Dumbledore meant, otherwise the students staying in various colleges would be too lonely sitting on the empty long tables. "Students can't go home for Christmas. We have to let them feel the warmth of home."
It's the original words.
There were a total of twelve students staying on campus. The students and professors sat together, waiting for Professor Dumbledore to speak.
Joel, like other students, looked expectantly at the principal sitting in the middle of the teacher's chair.
His gaze was not shy. Although he held a lot of secrets in his mind, and in the original book Dumbledore was a Legilimency master, Joel was sure that he would not use this kind of spell on his students easily.
After all, Dumbledore is the Headmaster of Hogwarts, and Joel is a student at Hogwarts.
Dumbledore was wearing a red Santa hat with a white brim and dotted with snowflakes. He looked at his students and colleagues with a smile on his face.
"Christmas is coming soon," he said in a cheerful tone. "In this traditional holiday, it is a pity that some of you cannot be reunited with your families due to various reasons, but you are still here at Hogwarts.
You can feel the warmth of home.”
"Look at the classmates and teachers around you. These are all your family members. You will help each other and support each other to spend the unforgettable seven green years." Dumbledore seemed to be moved as he spoke, and from his pocket
He took out a pair of handkerchiefs and wiped the moisture from his eyes, "It's really unforgettable."
The students from Slytherin and Gryffindor looked at each other on both sides of the long table, with malicious smiles on their faces. Joel felt that if the professors were not around, the Gryffindors and Slytherins would be able to attack each other.
stand up.
In comparison, students from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw get along quite harmoniously, mainly because students from both houses rarely cause trouble.
Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, Professor Flitwick and Professor White at the long table obviously noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere among the students, but Professor Dumbledore put away the handkerchief as if nothing happened.
"Without further talk, let's enjoy the dinner happily!" Dumbledore waved his hand, and the white tablecloth was instantly covered with all kinds of food.
Fried chicken legs, grilled chicken legs, braised chicken drumsticks... these are generally the same dishes that Joel has grown tired of eating in the more than three months since he came to Hogwarts.
However, Hailis and others sitting next to her felt that this dinner was extremely sumptuous, and they kept adding dishes to their plates.
Joel made do with two fried fish, ate them, and then stopped.
"You have a bad appetite today?" Haylis took a spoonful of beans from the plate in front of her and asked curiously as she looked at Joel's plate.
Joel hesitated to speak, looked into Hailes' eyes and shook his head, picked up a fried chicken leg and started to chew on it.
"...Don't just eat meat, this stew is quite delicious." Hailis hesitated and said.
Joel couldn't resist, so he gave himself a spoonful of cream stew in his bowl, which made him feel uncomfortable when he tasted it.
It wasn't that he thought British food was unpalatable. After all, the house elves in the castle were quite skilled at cooking. It was just that the taste of the dishes was not to his liking, and the dishes were monotonous and lacked variety.
"It tastes good, it tastes good." Joel rarely praised British food.
Only then did Haylis turn her eyes back to her plate.
During dinner, Joel could not sit still while eating, for fear that Haylis would look at her again and ask him to try some other dishes.
After dinner, the professors left first, and then the students from the four colleges dispersed without paying attention to anyone.
Joel discovered that the conflict between Slytherin and Gryffindor students was already very deep. In fact, the conflict between Harry and Malfoy after Harry and Malfoy entered the school next year will only further expand the conflict between the two houses.
He knew that it was impossible for the two colleges to get back together in a short period of time. They had deep prejudices against each other. As the saying goes: The prejudice in people's hearts is like a big mountain. No matter how hard you try, you can't move it.
He has no interest in getting involved in the messy affairs between the two colleges. He doesn't care about the matter anymore. If he has time to worry about it, he might as well make more money and exchange it for the magic source as soon as possible. How delicious it would be!
He stayed in the common room all night, leaning against the fireplace and writing a reply, while Haylis was flipping through "Standard Spells", but Joel felt that the common room was a little more cozy than usual.
The staff of the Wizarding Examination Authority are now working intensively day and night. In this afternoon alone, four letters were sent to Joel. They contained some deleted questions that made Joel think for a long time before he could give an answer.
His reply has always emphasized that the overall idea of the complete solution to the magic course cannot be changed, and exercises and analysis must be included. This is an important magic weapon for their ability to sell well in the UK, and it is also the key to occupying the global magic teaching aid material market.
This led to a sharp increase in Joel's workload. The staff of the Wizarding Examination Authority used various means to learn the exam questions from various magic schools/Ministry of Magic decades ago (these questions have lost the need to keep secrets.
), Joel must write down the answers and explanations to these test questions.
