Chapter 365 A fairly friendly meeting
The students who are about to graduate have nothing to worry about, and they are full of fighting power when they join forces.
Fortunately, the store door opened again soon, and two junior students came in looking around with a bit of restraint - looking at them, it seemed that they were not in a teahouse, but in a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.
"Is it these two? Wow, Taylor, children these days are growing up really fast, which one is it?"
The senior sitting at Andrew's table looked at Andrew, then looked at He glanced at the two students who came in, stood up and waved, "This way, this way!"
The attention of the whole audience was attracted, and the other party was no exception. They cast their eyes over. When they saw Andrew, they trotted over as if they had found a savior.
"Ah, if it were in another grade, I would have said, kids are so good together."
Siela next to her, the seventh-grade female prefect, looked at He looked at the two of them, then at Andrew, and nodded.
"I reiterate, it's really just a party. Do you bring a group of people with you when you go on a date, Senior Sister Silla?"
"That's a shame," Silla regretted He sighed and said, "There is a party in the teahouse. Is it the new professor?"
Although Andrew didn't want to admit it, he still nodded regretfully.
If he didn't feel guilty, he really didn't want to participate in this unreliable party.
But there is no way - the curse on the course is almost confirmed. Although some measures have been taken to remedy it, who would have the courage to try it?
After so many years of elimination, there are basically no wizards in the British wizarding world who dare to challenge the curse. If they can't recruit people anymore, they really have to go to Azkaban to recruit people.
He enjoys the top tutoring in the entire magical world, and holds the highest authority among all Hogwarts students. Although he tells others that he does odd jobs, he still does odd jobs. It would be too shameless to hold yourself to the same standards.
If he was really a handyman, why would he recruit the victims' families as professors? Professors like Sirius are a bad job, and the anti-dark arts course is the worst profession that someone like Lockhart can get into without even considering it. .
His pure harm to the families of the victims is really hard on his conscience.
Especially since the criminal's belongings were still being protected by him - this kind of thing was so awkward that he almost failed to adjust his mentality.
So he has been working hard to help the new professor integrate into Hogwarts. Now it seems that although it is still a bit awkward, the effect is not bad - although the other subject is not outstanding, at least this week's There are no negative comments about the anti-black magic course. I am also working hard to communicate with students and adjust the course content.
This is a great thing - using the break time to communicate with student representatives is a sacrifice.
The other person didn’t become a professor because he wanted to be a professor, but he stayed here to gain recognition from the professors and gain the qualification to open Lockhart’s sealed items. Even though the course was already popular, he still communicated with the students without making any effort. Integrating into the circle of professors is already a waste of time.
‘He is a responsible professor. '
'But it can be considered a good relationship. With my deliberate help, I got along very well with Sirius. Yesterday, I helped the new professor Hagrid and established a relationship... In this way, the old professor Bian's words also hope to gain recognition. If he agrees, many professors will actually show off their face. Being thick-skinned comes with familiarity. '
"Taylor?"
While Andrew was still daydreaming, Silla next to him pushed him, "No, what can you say at the party, two of you? One of the junior freshmen is from your college. As a senior, you have to speak first.”
"Sorry," Andrew showed an apologetic smile, "I just felt a little familiar, but I couldn't remember the name at once - I'm really sorry, if you don't mind, let's get to know each other again, I'm Andrew Taylor, la Winclaw, third grader."
"Eve Johnson, Hufflepuff, first grader."
The shy girl said stiffly.
"Luna Lovegood, Ravenclaw, second year student."
Another voice sounded, a little excited, but also a little scared. .
'From your own college? It seems that she has never interacted with her, so her grades shouldn't be too outstanding, because second graders... well, I don't know a few second graders, at least her transformation skills should be average. '
Andrew thought silently, but he had no impression - he basically shouldered the transfiguration homework for most grades. No impression meant that the other party was not a first-rate student.
But a new question arises - where do those under third grade get the qualifications to enter Hogsmeade? This requires authorization from a guardian!
‘Did you contact parents directly for the party? Is Professor Nina trying too hard? ’
“How did you get here?”
As a senior, Andrew had to open up the conversation—although the situation was not exactly suitable for discussion, but he had to take charge before the more senior students came over.
“The professor contacted our parents. After our parents agreed, the professor brought us here. Then he entrusted the prefect to watch us. The professor said he would look for you first and then return to send us here.” Eve, a first-year student, was unexpectedly talkative, but she spoke very fast, with a bit of fear on her face. It didn't look like a conversation at all, but rather like being interrogated by Andrew.
‘The sequelae of the start of school are too severe. '
"Don't be anxious. What do you want to drink? I can buy a drink for each of you before the professor comes." He tried to make his tone look more gentle, "There should be desserts here, but It is said that there is a lot of sugar added.”
'Over there, first graders here, please don't be so unscrupulous when kissing...'
Andrew picked up the menu and blocked the view of the next grader - this place is really not suitable for a party.
Everyone ordered a drink, and taking advantage of the relaxation of the atmosphere, Andrew continued to talk about making the environment more relaxed.
It is more important to coax the first grade students first. Thinking about this, Andrew asked softly, "How does it feel to come to school?"
"It's great, better than the food at home. Eat.”
?
What should we talk about today?
"Yes, the craftsmanship of the elves is recognized, especially your college lounge is very close to the kitchen."
"Is the kitchen very close to the Hufflepuff lounge?"
After Andrew finally suppressed a response, Luna naturally showed a curious expression.
‘Well done, students from my college, it would be embarrassing if the topic ended here. '
"Yes, it's right over in the Hufflepuff Common Room. Their seniors should have taken the freshmen there very early."
"I never knew that. , It turns out there is such a thing."
Luna looked very interested, "I really can't find it, Eve, can you take me to see it?"
" I’m not sure, no one took me there…”
Obviously, it has only been a week since school started, and Eve, who is in the freshman adjustment period, has not yet arrived in the second Hufflepuff lounge.
"Well, I'll take you back to school today."
Andrew said very naturally, "Although it's a bit early for freshmen, it's not bad at all. I know Kung Fu."
'It doesn't seem too difficult to coax the lower grades, but the people in my own college cooperate well. ’
“That’s great, today?”
"Well, I'll take you for a run after you return to school. Anyway, you can't go shopping here normally."
"That's a pity. I see a lot of candy shops and other snack shops here. "
Luna shook her head regretfully.
"Can I just buy a little candy?"
Eve looked at Andrew expectantly, and Andrew, who smiled sincerely, felt that it was a mistake not to buy snacks.
"Let's look at the dismissal time. We will pass Honeydukes on the way back, but I'm afraid you have to return to school quickly. I have discussed with the professor and leave you ten minutes. I'll keep an eye on it."
Andrew is soft-hearted. Yes, he nodded - he is going to start magical transformation tomorrow, and is adjusting his mentality. At this moment, he will deal with the problem according to his first thought.
‘Come on, Professor Nina, I feel soft today. If I don’t come, I’m afraid I’ll have to waste another half an hour with this greedy cat. ’
