Chapter 965 ? The End of the Semester
A few days later, in the memories of these Hogwarts students, the style of today's school-break dinner was quite different from previous years.
Different from the previous way of just hanging giant banners to celebrate, under the star-studded ceiling, many light lights flow in the auditorium, casting mottled and irregular fragments of light and shadow on the floor. If your eyes keep staring at this The rotating and jumping light and shadow will easily fall into a wonderful illusion.
The auditorium was redecorated in the blue and bronze colors that represent Ravenclaw to celebrate their victory in the House Cup again. Lights and shadows floated on the wall behind the guest seat, as if countless bronze-colored light spots converged on the wall, turning into an eagle soaring high above the unparalleled peak.
But on that long table, unlike in the past where all kinds of sumptuous dishes were placed in front of them for the wizards to take, the wizards no longer had to get up and struggle to reach the food that was far away from them, nor Need to walk around to find your favorite food.
Just like when Beauxbaton College and Durmstrang College were being entertained during the Goblet of Fire period, a set of Ravenclaw-colored porcelain tableware was placed in front of everyone at this time, and silver knives and forks were neatly arranged. Put aside, a menu depicting wonderful magic patterns is placed in front of everyone, just tap the name of the dish you like, and the corresponding dish will be cast by the house elf to make them appear on the plate middle.
In such a magical and elegant environment, although the little wizards of Hogwarts were attracted by these novel arrangements, they were ashamed to make loud noises in the auditorium as before, so as not to destroy the magical atmosphere of the auditorium and bring them happiness. A wonderful feeling to come.
Except for the occasional rustling whispers, compared with when Dumbledore, who was born in Gryffindor, was the principal, the auditorium at this time was much quieter.
Behind the long table for school staff on the first table in the dining room, except for the seat of the biggest white wizard who was originally a white-haired young wizard, the other professors and staff have not changed much. , besides Hogwarts janitor Argus Filch who also got a seat today, unlike usual sloppy, today he looks intentionally well-dressed and sitting in the seat of the librarian Irma Next to Mr. Pince, who looked very tense and reserved—his scrawny, dark gray cat, Mrs. Norris, was staring at the students below with bulging eyes like light bulbs. A new blue bow was attached to make it a little cuter than usual.
After everyone had a full meal, when some desserts appeared on the long table, Allen stood up and walked in front of the golden owl podium, spreading the owl's wings and propping it up with his hands.
"Another year has passed." Alan's voice was not loud, but it seemed to ring in the ears of every student, "Before enjoying these sweet desserts, I must trouble everyone to listen to the clichés of my new principal , I think this year, your little minds must be richer than before... There is a whole summer vacation waiting for you, but unlike previous years, I have to say regretfully that I have to stay for you A little homework..."
This caused some lamentation in the audience, especially the Gryffindors couldn't help being a little commotion.
"No, no, don't lament, I won't ask you to write on thirty feet of parchment during the holidays... This is homework and a small gift I want to give you." Alan raised his hand and turned into a starry sky The stars on the ceiling seemed to fall from the sky and turned into countless small boxes and landed on the long table in front of the students one by one.
They opened the box to find three oval leaves with jagged edges.
In addition, there is a small crystal medicine bottle, some chrysalis of unknown bugs, and a piece of parchment with precautions written all over it.
Colin Creevey's younger brother Dennis poked the chrysalis curiously, "What is this?"
"This is the chrysalis of the Grimacing Moth... This piece of paper is the traditional method of transforming into an Animagus..." Neville, who participated in the intensive training class, was a little surprised, "Could it be that next year we will teach us how to transform into an Animagus? But why did even the little wizards in the first grade receive it?"
"I think many people know about our family's achievements on Animagus, and I recently found a way to make everyone successfully transform into Animagus." Amidst the gasps of wizards, Ai Lun said calmly, "These mandrake leaves, you use the summer vacation to suck at home... But if a gifted student finds that he has felt a second heart, please don't change... When the next semester begins , I will assist all of you to complete the transformation of Animagus."
"Transforming Animagus is a very dangerous thing!" This made the transfiguration professor Minerva McGonagall whisper in surprise: "Sorry, I don't want to disagree with you, Principal Harris, but I think you and I both know The dangers of this... I don't think children are too young to take risks at this age, and Muggle-voiced students are not suitable to cast spells during the holidays..."
Professor McGonagall had to force herself to soften up after exclaiming. The reason why she is still staying at Hogwarts is because Dumbledore, who has been kicked out of the school, asked her to stay and take care of these things. Little wizard, Dumbledore still needs her at Hogwarts anyway.
"Don't worry, Professor McGonagall, I'm not kidding about the lives of students, I don't want any students not turning back or getting stuck in a half-human half-animal state when they transform... and don't worry about the Ministry of Magic's response to returning to maze. For the students of Gua World, if you point your wand at your heart and chant a spell during the holidays, there will be any punishment. I emphasized this point in the booklet, as long as you stay in the room and don’t be seen by yourself during the practice—this is The spell itself will not produce any light and shadow effects, so the Ministry of Magic is happy to give me this green light..." Allen looked at Professor McGonagall, "And as a master of transfiguration, I think Professor McGonagall watched it during the holidays. After my research results, I think you can fully understand the safety of it... In fact, I don't intend to force everyone to try my transformation method, because the current transformation object of my method is fixed at For some animal species, if anyone wants to try more difficult traditional methods, or expects to take risks to try the transformation of magical creatures, I will be very happy that my students have such a pioneering spirit..."
Ron in the audience let out a sigh, and he sat resentfully in his seat. He looked sullenly at the surrounding Gryffindor wizards fiddling with the boxes he had handed out with great interest.
Ron couldn't restrain the frustration in his heart, and sighed regretfully to Harry: "Ah...Merlin's...Ravenclaw's long hair! Originally, few people in Hogwarts could transform Animagus, I still I thought I could use this to show off next semester... It seems that everyone can learn it now, so what's so special about this thing?"
"Don't worry, Ron, we are almost successful anyway. Didn't you hear what Alan said? His method with a high success rate can transform animals into a fixed type. If we complete it ourselves, we will still be unique. I can come to you during the holidays." When I was at the Burrow, I wrote to Hermione and asked her to lend us the Thunderbird." Harry adjusted his big glasses, and he knew that his good brother actually wanted to use this to get the limelight, but if Alan really They found a transformation method with a very high success rate, which meant that they had some more advantages in the war against the mysterious man, which Harry liked very much.
"Finally, there are professors present here," Allen's dignified voice sounded again, and the auditorium returned to silence, "For the teaching of the next semester, we have some new requirements and new teaching content. Now I will The information on the new teaching content is sent to everyone. Please make good use of this summer vacation to arrange these new content in your textbooks and prepare for teaching. As for the specific course arrangement, we will inform you when the next semester starts..."
"Principal Harris..." Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Severus Snape spoke, which surprised many people, because he had been relatively silent before and after Dumbledore's incident.
"Oh, Professor Snape, did you see the name of the file? ... Yes, I have another candidate to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts next semester, and you will be the professor of my new dueling class." Allen faced Snape Before he could speak, he explained, "The curse hasn't been broken, and I can't risk the safety of my school's professors."
"The technique of casting spells without a wand?" Professor Flitwick flipped through the information in front of him, and asked in surprise, "This technique of casting spells with gestures is somewhat similar to the characteristics of Waggadu, but yours is different from what I have learned. slidely different…"
