Chapter 323 Percy’s Birthday Party
Although Professor Nina had a strong desire to go, Andrew ultimately rejected her.
There is really no reason for this. It is reasonable for the vice-principal to take a professor with him when traveling, but what is the point of a handyman student going out to take a professor with him?
On the contrary, Tiangang took away the professor today. Do you plan to be the dean tomorrow?
So he could only refuse ruthlessly.
But the next morning, when he finished his routine run, put on his wizard robe and was about to set off after dinner, he was directly frightened by Professor Nina who looked like I had succeeded.
‘This expression? ’
He looked at Professor Nina in confusion, and then at Sirius, who nodded helplessly.
‘Okay, that’s fine, Professor Nina got what she wanted, but I don’t know what excuse. ’
After a hurried breakfast, while Professor Nina was cleaning up, Andrew asked in a low voice, "Agreed?"
"I am one of the few friends at Hogwarts," Sirius spread his hands indifferently, "Besides, Arthur and the others will not refuse to have one more person at the dinner party to send blessings."
‘That’s right, besides, Sirius is a professor and he brings his friends...’
Andrew was stunned.
He didn't know how to explain this.
It's better to be young if you bring a friend with you, but Mr. Black, you have to pay attention, your friend's child is no longer at the level of soy sauce, he can even beat the professor!
At your age, it's hard to bring a female friend to a banquet.
But Andrew couldn't tell.
He doesn't know the customs and customs of the wizarding world - not to mention the wizarding world of Hogwarts, even the Muggle world here in the UK.
'After all, my way of thinking is different. I am too sensitive and think too much. This kind of thing may be very normal. ’
He shook his head silently and made no comment.
It is not good for students to lead professors, but it is normal for professors to lead colleagues.
It happened that Professor Nina also came back, so he simply interrupted the topic and made a suggestion to hurry up.
"Then let's go. Although the banquet is at noon, we can't go there in a hurry, right?"
Since wizard robes need to be kept neat and tidy, the final form of transportation is the Knight Bus.
From Hogsmeade, go to the village of Ottery St. Catchpole - this is the location of the Burrow, over in Glendevon.
——
"We're here."
Sirius was the most energetic. He got off the bus first and said hello to the frightened conductor.
Although officials have refuted the rumors, the reputation of the former number one Death Eater still made the nagging conductor choose to shut up as always.
Professor Nina was second, followed by Harry and Andrew, who was in the worst shape.
"What the hell," Andrew steadied himself, "I exercise a lot, but why do I look the worst?"
"Because Harry spends a lot of time on his broomstick."
Sirius laughed and watched.
Theoretically, there should be someone here to answer the call - soon, a timid voice sounded.
"Ah, good morning, Professor Black, Harry, classmate Andrew, and..."
The originally timid voice was interrupted, as if he was confused.
But Andrew didn't even believe the punctuation - because it was Ginny who was speaking.
The illusion in front of me was all because there was a boy named Harry in the crowd. Without him, it would have been a completely different story.
"Hello, Ginny."
Although Sirius was a little confused, he quickly attributed the reason to Ginny seeing the new professor being shy, "This is Professor Nina, she came with her to send her blessings."
"Ah, hello, Professor Nina."
Ginny said hello quickly, and Andrew just wanted to laugh.
Le—— Today is the right time, and the depression caused by the continuous experiments has disappeared. "This way, Professor."
Ginny carefully guided them all the way into the courtyard.
At this moment, the small courtyard has been decorated. The bleakness of Christmas when Andrew came has been swept away by the greenery and decorations. There are seven or eight tables in the garden with quite beautiful scenery, and on the middle table, there is a huge The cake decorated with 17 is placed over there.
Although the decorations don't look very expensive, they are decorated with great care - there is no doubt that the makers spent a lot of effort.
Percy himself stood in the middle under a pile of balloons with the number 17 written in bright fonts. He was wearing very grand clothes. In the corner of the clothes, the badge of the male student union president was well pinned.
"Good morning, Andrew!"
Percy hurried over in small steps and hugged Andrew who was carrying the gift.
"Good morning and happy birthday, Percy."
While sending blessings, Andrew handed the gift over and added in a low voice, "How does it feel to be able to cast spells?"
Percy also lowered his voice, "I even used the flying spell to summon my shoes this morning, and then I almost got hit in the face."
The two laughed quietly, and then Percy began to greet the others.
Because there were still guests, they left without talking much - the main character today was Percy, and he had a lot to talk about.
But the students who got together first were definitely students. Andrew thought about it for a while and felt that he was not suitable to be with the professor, so he also got together with Harry.
"…Pretended."
He heard half of the comments, and then George, who was making a speech, stopped commenting because of his arrival.
"Welcome, classmate Taylor."
George changed his tune.
"Yes, a warm welcome."
Fred added.
But Andrew was sure that the two of them did it on purpose - because Harry said before coming that Ron knew about it too.
"That's great," Andrew happily stepped forward to shake hands. "Although today is a good day, I still want to ask, next year is the year of OWLs. How are you preparing?"
Come on, let’s hurt each other!
Andrew directly dealt real damage and critical hits.
The twins' expressions began to fluctuate rapidly, as if they had drunk Professor Snape's special potion.
He even heard Harry and Ron trying to hold back their laughter.
Fighting from OWLs never gets old.
"Armistice," Fred surrendered decisively, "Today is a good day, after all, that guy Percy is seventeen years old."
"Yeah, when he was eating in the morning, he wanted to use his magic wand to stuff food into his mouth."
"Mom also thinks he is very cute."
George sighed, "But no matter what, Percy will leave Hogwarts in another year. Thinking of this, even the OWLs year is not so scary."
You two...
Andrew sighed inwardly, but they were so distant that they could not be close to each other. If it were someone else, what could he say, but with two biological brothers, what could he do?
"Okay, let's not talk about Percy," Fred rolled his eyes, "But who is the lady Sirius brought?"
He looked at Andrew with curiosity.
"Professor Nina, our new, um, Anti-Dark Arts professor."
Harry said the answer directly, and Andrew didn't even have time to think.
Come on—Professor Black, this is none of my business. Just watch, this is your godson causing trouble!
