The new semester has begun, and Dulan sat grandly at the professor's dining table. Facing hundreds of energetic children, he felt great. Although he was in the corner, Dulan felt very good.
Lan doesn't mind.
Still led by Professor McGonagall, the first-year students were going to be sorted. However, Harry and Ron were not seen. They were late and did not show up until the sorting was over.
It can be seen that Professor McGonagall's expression is obviously wrong, and she is obviously worried about Harry and Ron.
"Where are George, Fred, your brother and Harry?"
"have no idea."
"Not sure."
"Maybe it was captured by a mountain monster, or maybe it was carried away by a dragon." The two brothers were not worried about their younger brother and Harry at all.
"Did they get on the train with you?"
"I don't know. The two of us left first, and they were behind."
Unable to find any information, Professor McGonagall thought that she would check the luggage to see if their luggage had been put on the train.
When they arrived at the door, they found Ron and Harry running in in a panic, dragging their luggage and looking embarrassed: "You'd better explain your behavior to me."
The two looked at each other with terrible expressions.
Hermione finally saw the girl in the hallucination. It turned out that it was not a hallucination, but a real girl, Luna Lovegood, a freshman who was one year below her and was assigned to Ravenclaw.
She was a girl who could arouse Hermione's interest enough, and Hermione decided to invite Luna into her reading club.
Duran, who was preparing to return to his dormitory, saw Snape and Dumbledore entering Professor McGonagall's office, and followed him curiously. It turned out that the trial of Harry and Ron was taking place.
Ron looked miserable and seemed likely to be fired at any time.
Harry was ignorant and did not realize how bad their behavior was. Using a speed car in London might completely expose wizards to Muggles. The Ministry of Magic spent a lot of energy to find witnesses and eliminate their
memory.
"Your behavior violated at least fifteen school rules and also damaged a precious whomping willow tree."
"We were the ones hurt by it, it almost killed us." Ron retorted, but this could not change the fact that they made a mistake.
"I think expulsion is a very good option." Snape said without losing any opportunity.
"Professor Snape, thank you for your advice, but I will deal with the Gryffindor students." Professor McGonagall did not expect such a severe punishment. They are still children. As long as they accept the lesson, they do not need to be expelled.
.
"Let's go get our luggage." Ron seemed to already know the final outcome, which was nothing more than expulsion.
"What are you doing, Mr. Ron? Even if you are to be expelled, it is not today." Professor McGonagall has already thought of a way to deal with it: "I want you to know the seriousness of your behavior. I will write a letter to your family, and you need to take action."
Work to reflect on your own behavior.”
Professor Snape was very unhappy: "If you were Slytherin students and made such a big mistake, I would definitely expel you, definitely."
"Professor Snape, they are the lions of Gryffindor." Dumbledore was quite satisfied with this punishment, because he knew that Harry Potter was very important.
"Since they have to work, why not leave them to me? The right tower needs a thorough cleaning, and I just lack manpower." Duran said.
Of course you can, anyway, the important thing is labor.
The new semester officially started, but Ron and Harry had a not-so-good start.
But Hermione was very proud, because she got permission from Professor McGonagall to use the classroom to hold book club activities during her spare time. So Hermione now had space for activities, and all she had to do was find team members.
I drew a promotional poster myself and posted it in the corridor of the school. The requirements were: women should study, be willing to spend time writing their thoughts after reading, and be willing to express their opinions.
The name of the book club is "Reading Wizards".
Hermione personally invited Luna to join the reading club, because two consecutive chance encounters, and finally meeting again, made Hermione think that she and Luna were destined.
However, after contacting her, Hermione immediately changed her opinion, because Luna was the weirdest girl she knew, she was simply a goddess.
"Hermione, if you eat pudding for dinner every day, you will be lucky in your whole life. You should try it." After joining the book club, Luna often promoted her weird ideas to Hermione.
Hermione didn't know if she would be lucky if she ate pudding every night, but she would definitely gain weight: "Luna, what if there is no pudding?"
"Then my luck will decrease, and I will choose to eat carrots." Luna's recipe is not determined according to her own taste at all, but based on a nihilistic method similar to divination. There is no reason at all, and there is no
Any convincing.
Of course, apart from these incomprehensible quirks, Luna is still very thoughtful as a wizard and can often inspire Hermione. Hermione did not dislike Luna because of the nagging of the school girl. Besides, it seems that other female students except Luna
I have no interest in her 'reading wizard'.
Hermione wanted Raglan to join the book club but was rejected on the grounds that she had to help Duran and Ron take notes. She had no self at all and felt that she only existed after getting into trouble.
As for other wizards, let alone the Slytherins, they will not join the organization of Muggle wizards. Gryffindor girls actually like sports more than reading. Ravenclaw students like to be alone and quietly
When it comes to reading, Hufflepuff students are not good at expressing themselves.
Originally, Luna was most interested in reading wizards, but Hermione personally invited her, so Luna, who had never had many friends, agreed to join.
Hermione's new organization encountered difficulties at the beginning.
But Hermione will not give up. She is a Gryffindor who dares to be a daredevil, and she will carry out activities even if there are only two of her. She starts by reading the novels that need to be studied in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, taking notes and writing down her thoughts after reading them.
.Then according to Duran's suggestion, print it out and distribute it.
Duran hoped that Hermione could attract more members in this way, and Luna also played a very important role. Her father was the editor of Magic Magazine and she knew something about the editor's work.
So the first review written by two little girls was interviewed by the tabloid, and it spread in the girls' dormitories of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.
