Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 660
"...Ron, here is your package. When I came back from Hogsmeade just now, I saw it standing outside the window as soon as I entered the dormitory, pecking at the window!"
When Ron and Harry returned to the bedroom together, Neville immediately pointed to the window.They turned their heads and looked around, and they really saw an owl, boringly trimming their feathers with their beaks.
"My package?" Ron said strangely, "then why doesn't it come to me directly?"
"I don't know..." Neville said, "but I've seen the name on the package, and that's yours."
"is it?"
Ron shrugged suspiciously and walked to the window.When the owl saw the recipient appear, he immediately pecked the window again, as if Ron hadn't seen it.
"Oh, how long have you been waiting here..." Ron hurriedly opened the window, lest the little guy pecked the window open, "Um...ah! Merlin is here, why is she again?"
"Who?" Harry heard the sound and leaned forward, and glanced over Ron's shoulder, "Ha! It turned out to be Lavender... After Neville's last time, she hasn't given up on you yet?"
"Don't mention that, Harry..." Neville said weakly, "I have a headache when I think of it."
"What did he give you? Take it apart and take a look!" Harry asked casually while turning around to pack his things, preparing for the homework to be done after dinner later.
But Ron shook his head decisively and threw the package on the table by the wall.
"Forget it!" He complained, "You can guess it without looking, it must be something sweet and greasy... Anything she likes, she always stubbornly thinks that others will do it too. Like it! Um... if you want to eat it, just take it yourself!"
"I don't want to eat it," Harry said, curling his lips, "I have eaten too much sweets recently, now I just want to eat salty...Let's go! Go to the common room to wander and it's time for dinner..."
"I hope I can still have French onion soup tonight. I didn't enjoy it yesterday!" Ron glanced at his schoolbag and planned to come back later to sort it out.
Neville on the other side saw that both of them were going out, so he threw down his textbook and stood up.
"Hey...wait for me!"
He ran two steps forward around the bed, then looked back at the package on the table, and then hurriedly followed.
...
Gryffindor’s common room has always been the busiest among the four colleges. The little lions are always energetic, and they like to get together and chat, they can’t stop for a moment.
Today's topic is naturally related to Hogsmeade.
Some people are tasting Honey Duke’s new sweets; some are studying the prank products of Joko’s joke shop; others are just pushing me and making fun of them, it is said that it is a boy with average family conditions. Finally, he took the extravagance and took his little girlfriend to go on a date with Mrs. Pettifu's teahouse.
Of course, there is actually a small topic person today, that is the freshman Alexander Wolf who was fined to clean the library for an entire afternoon.
For adventurous Gryffindors, being punished may not be a shame.Although it is always a bit uncomfortable to be deducted from college points, it also means that the punished student must have done something that would alarm the professor.
"...Alexander, did you really use a leg-locking curse? I didn't expect you to be so powerful, we just learned how to cast a floating curse!"
Around the round table where Alexander was, students of all grades gathered-of course, the most must be those in the first grade.
"That's really nothing..." Alexander waved his hand again and again, "As long as you are willing to try it, you can definitely cast it smoothly! To say that it is amazing, it is Hufflepuff's Ens, he is still practicing in the second grade. The disarming curse!"
Perhaps because of Maca’s rapid progress, the Hogwarts super-paced learning atmosphere was invisibly brought up, so that Alexander's remarks did not cause everyone to be overly surprised.
In fact, every grade now has students trying to challenge more difficult knowledge and applications, but that inevitably requires both talent and diligence to have more significant gains, so no one has shown a relatively outstanding performance.
At this time, in the compliments of the classmates, even if Alexander's character is still humble, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.After all, my hard work has been recognized by everyone, and this feeling is naturally great.
In addition, he really liked magic very much, and when he thought that he seemed to have the talent in this area, he suddenly became more motivated.
"Today Ens was right," he couldn't help thinking while looking at the excited classmates around him. "If you can learn earlier, you really shouldn't be dragged to the second grade... Professor McLean was also very early. I have started to teach myself!"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling his pocket, his heart tangled slightly.
At this moment, following the sound of footsteps on the stairway leading to the bedroom, the little wizards approaching here all subconsciously looked back.Alexander was also sitting here. Seeing his classmates look over, he craned his neck and looked from the gap in the crowd.
He soon discovered that it was Harry and Ron who had come out, and Neville was behind them.
Alexander pursed his mouth, and squeezed his pocket with his right hand. He couldn't help but wanted to stand up.But before he stood up straight, a voice stopped him.
"Harry, Ron... Oh, and Neville?" Hermione who was sitting on the other side beckoned here, "Come here, I have something to discuss with you!"
"Alexander, what's the matter?"
Hearing the suspicious question from his classmates around him, Alexander noticed that his half-squatting and half-standing movements seemed strange.
"Ah, no...nothing." He quickly sat back, "I just look at the time."
Because of the "plan" that Enns said this afternoon, Alexander now feels awkward.
To be honest, he actually didn't want to use other people as a test drug, which was very inconsistent with his personality philosophy.But for various reasons, he couldn't help feeling that Ensi's idea was indeed very tempting.
As a result, with no energy in his whole body, Alexander and his classmates finally perfunctorily, barely mingled until dinner time.Afterwards, the big guy called his friends and friends, and went to the auditorium downstairs in groups.
As soon as he arrived in the auditorium, Alexander was pulled into the corridor by Ensi, who was guarding the door. As the planner of the test drug plan, this kid was obviously eager to understand the progress of the operation.
"How? Did he give it to him? Did he eat?" Ensi asked in a low voice when he looked at the crowd outside the corridor and saw that no one was looking here.
Alexander had to shook his head.
"No," he said absent-mindedly, "Um... I didn't find the right time."
"What's the timing?" Enston rolled his eyes. "The timing is not found, but created! Didn't they have a good relationship with that McLean? Since you said you also know McLean , Isn’t this just an opportunity?"
"Even if you say that..." Alexander said helplessly, "Furthermore, what people say is also sixth grade..."
"What happened to the sixth grade?" Ens curled his lips. "As far as I can see, Neville Longbottom is the best fool for the whole Hogwarts. You just have to try it, you can do it! Listen to me, for a while You take the initiative to say something at the dining table..."
"It's okay, can't I go?" Alexander sighed. "If the blessing potion really has any side effects, just wait to owe me favor!"
"If it's okay, then we can make a lot of money!" Ensi said nonchalantly, "Go...hurry up and go!"
After all, Ens pushed Alexander out of the corridor hard, and then walked into the side corridor door first, and went to the auditorium to prepare for a meal.
Not far behind him, Alexander glared at Ensi's back and followed reluctantly.
Before long, when the teachers and students were all seated in the auditorium, as Professor McGonagall announced the start of dinner, the empty plates on the table were filled with various foods as usual.Everyone who had been flying for a whole day on this Saturday was already hungry. As soon as they saw the food before them, everyone hurriedly raised their knives and forks to enjoy them.
Because of Ens's urging, Alexander deliberately chose a seat diagonally across from Neville today.But now looking at each other, another round of hesitation started in my heart.
Yes, almost everyone at Hogwarts knows that Neville Longbottom is a consistently confused boy.Even though he is tall and big now, his personality hasn't changed much. On weekdays, he is either forgetting things or stumbling, giving people a clumsy feeling.
In fact, even the lower grades love to make small jokes with him.
However, after all, they were all harmless jokes, which were fundamentally different from the test drug plan that Ensi had come up with.Although Alexander was attracted by the alluring effects of the blessing potion, he still couldn't let go of the lumps in his heart. Even if he wanted to get together to make a conversation, he couldn't open the mouth.
He hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but look up at Hufflepuff's long table.Not surprisingly, he immediately saw Ensi making a urging gesture to him, beckoning him to act quickly.
"Alexander?"
From Alexander's side, Ens's position happened to be next to Harry's head. It was because he had been looking there for a long time, and Harry thought Alexander had something to say to him!
Hearing Harry call to himself, Alexander hurriedly took his gaze back from Ens.
"Ah? Oh..." He paused, and finally started to catch the ducks on the shelves, "That... I heard that you are very familiar with Professor McLean, um... Can you tell me something about his life? ?"
