Chapter 242 New Semester
"Taylor, haha, we're back!"
Hal's voice echoed throughout the dormitory, even the next door.
"Your gift is amazing, Tyler, I love that book!"
"That's good."
Andrew avoided Hal's hug with a bit of disgust, "By the way, where are those notepads I asked you to buy?"
"I'll look through the box for you later, but not now - I have to go find out the news. It's been a whole vacation. I haven't heard any gossip about Hogwarts for too long!"
Hal almost rushed out of the dormitory, leaving Andrew to sigh - so energetic!
'Speaking of which, this time, um, I can get a week off... I'm responsible for Percy and the others' holiday duty! ’
He was planning his vacation, and then he saw Hal, who had just left, rushing back to the dormitory, staring at him as if he had committed some unforgivable sin.
"What happened, looking at me like this?"
"You and Dumbledore went on an adventure?"
? ? ?
Isn’t this topic so old that no one mentions it?
Isn’t the latest topic already reached——?
Andrew sadly discovered that after Hal left school, his school information network was suddenly disconnected. He only knew that the students were discussing something, but what exactly it was, well, he didn't know.
"Yes, to be precise, Dumbledore took a few of us on an adventure. I was just lucky enough to be one of them."
"Damn it, Merlin's beard! You're so jealous, Tyler, why didn't you write that in the letter, asshole!"
Hal complained and left.
But not long after, he came back again with surprised eyes.
"No, you even let the Hufflepuffs - ah, the snacks over there, you kid, just for a little bit... they are indeed delicious, so delicious!"
…
All in all, it took Hal, who was fussing a lot, to sort out his mentality several times, and in the process, the rest of the people who were left behind also came back.
The dormitory was full of people again, and everyone began to talk about the messy things that happened during the Christmas vacation.
"There were even principals from several schools coming to visit, but this guy Taylor couldn't say anything...really..."
Hal leaned back in his chair, looking disappointed.
"There is something I can say. For example, there are good things newly installed in the library..."
Andrew smiled.
"library?"
The action power of young people is very powerful. Going to the library on the first day back to school sounds a bit crazy, but if we all work together, it won’t be a big problem.
But there were so many people there - and surprisingly, the library was still open at this point!
"Oh my gosh, the lights!"
"Hogwarts is electrified?"
"Is it a Muggle lamp? I originally planned to install it at home, but it is said that I have to deal with Muggles every month and charge...well, Muggle currency. Mom finds it too annoying."
"I have decorated my home, but the effect is not ideal. Well, how should I put it? It cannot be turned off and on with magic. Moreover, there is also a long thing called a wire..." The students were talking at the door of the library. , but Mrs. Pince’s intimidation made them all try to lower their voices.
"There is currently one hour of reading time at night. Follow-up arrangements will be announced by the school."
Mrs. Pingsi said this from time to time, and she was very happy to see it.
She is not the kind of professor who just finds a place to hang out (there is absolutely no allusion to a certain professor here, nor does she agree with Professor McGonagall). She really loves these books and hopes that more and more people will come here to gain knowledge. The more.
'Unfortunately there is no information, but I think Mrs. Pince must be a Ravenclaw. ’
Andrew sighed and prepared to line up to enter the museum - speaking of which, after the installation, it was his first time to try it.
'But because of the lights, the library needs one more administrator. Mrs. Pince is good, but she can't pluck it out... The report has been made, and it depends on how the school board responds. ’
‘Theoretically it’s definitely approved, but the history of magic takes up three positions, and if the library adds one more... forget it, it depends on the situation, it’s not something I care about. ’
Andrew gave up thinking and prepared to go in and read a book. However, to his surprise, the students behind him started to exclamate.
“Oh my God, there are so many enthusiastic and eager students!”
He spoke in a deliberately exaggerated tone, but the students liked it very much.
"I have to say, my heart almost jumped out of my chest seeing these enthusiastic and studious students...but I have to leave it to you, because we have something big to announce, and it's, um, let's I’m so happy that I have to tell you face to face!”
Professor Lockhart stood easily among the students, and loudly preached under Professor Pince's impatient eyes - Andrew can guarantee that if this was not the entrance and not the library, Mrs. Pince would take action. .
"Yeah, there's no doubt it's coming, I've been through a lot in half a year, but people still don't think it's enough - oh, it's okay, yeah, it's okay!"
Lockhart pointed at himself, "There is no doubt that I will bring you all an excellent learning opportunity. I, myself, Lockhart, will form a dueling club after the start of school!"
"Yes, more direct magic learning, more intense magic confrontation, spells that are useful in adventures, what all of you are looking forward to!"
The students cheered - what a fight, great!
This is what the school hospital is here to do!
Especially Professor Lockhart!
Great adventurer!
Almost everyone laughed - something new came to the library, and Professor Lockhart came with a bigger one!
Even the people in Andrew’s dormitory are.
Differentiated teaching is great, but if you have a hammer in your hand, you will want to hit everything you see - in the same way, if you have a wand, everyone will want to try dueling magic.
"Andrew, you know this, right? Still can't say..."
Hal even started to think on his own, "Oh, so the library, oh, you did it on purpose..."
I'm not, I didn't!
I didn’t even know about something as outrageous as the Duel Club.
Andrew felt like he was going crazy.
Mr. Lockhart, you have a very good reputation now!
My dear professor, it's only been one semester, and I desperately hope you can continue teaching - even better for a few more years.
After all, if the curse keeps happening, it will be really hard to recruit professors.
Although it is a school recruitment, they are responsible for the job advertisements and notices!
Isn’t it good to be alive?
But there was no point, Professor Lockhart was enjoying the cheers at the moment.
He stands at the pinnacle since entering school.
