Chapter 555 Old Honey
As if to underscore the importance of the upcoming exams, Hogwarts has turned up a slew of pamphlets about the various wizarding professions, just accepting Umm Richie's punishing twins come out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom to eat in the auditorium.
Fred gave his twin brother George a few pamphlets about careers in the Ministry of Magic that his mother had sent them—Molly Weasley no longer insisted, but obviously she did not give up her last effort, still Try to change the twins' idea of opening a store, even if it's just one of them.
"In any case, we won't act according to her ideas, will we?" Fred shrugged, not intending to pick up those brochures at all, looking at the scars on his arms caused by the quill, " George, I don't think we are fit for full-time education anymore."
"Yes, I feel the same way," said George casually.
"It's time to try our talents in the real world. Anyway, with Alan's investment, we can already open a store. What do you think?" Fred asked.
"Exactly," said George, and he paused. "Gregory the Flatterer's hallway is a good place. How about turning it into a turd-egg swamp?"
"Genius idea." Fred and his twin laughed and shook their fists.
"Totally stupid." Allen's sudden appearance startled them, "You also foresee the consequences, which will terminate your studies."
"Alan, although Umbridge has restrained himself after you came back, and we have seen the recent state, we can no longer bear the current oppressive atmosphere. We need to bring changes to Hogwarts. ’ said Fred in a brisk tone.
"Hogwarts will change, but it's not brought about by you. Stop your reckless plans, take the N.E.W.T exam well, get the certificate, and then go to Diagon Alley to open a joke shop." Allen's tone was a little tougher.
Looking at the twin brothers who kept silent because they were grateful to Alan and did not refute him, Alan, who sensed their thoughts, ordered bluntly: "As your boss, I will not allow you to leave school without taking the exam on purpose. Wei Since Mrs. Sly has agreed not to interfere with your choices and let you make jokes, you must at least pass the N.E.W.T exam and get a certificate. Otherwise, how do you want me to explain to Mrs. Weasley? Do you want me to talk to Mrs. Weasley again? Don't you have the face to come to the Burrow as a guest?"
Unlike Allen, who usually likes to be reasonable, this time he talked about favors a little bit confidently, and the twins obviously had no way to refuse, so they had no choice but to agree to give up their original plan to carry out the biggest prank.
Alan, who was originally serious, winked at the twins after they agreed: "After the exam is over, I don't care about what you want to do as a memory before leaving school, and I don't want to know your plans. Just to the point of crime."
The castle grounds glistened in the sun as if they had just been painted. The white clouds in the sky printed a perfect reflection on the calm lake like a mirror. The satin-smooth greenery gently undulates in the occasional breeze.
Before the exam comes, there is still a carnival worth looking forward to for the little wizards-the Hogwarts Quidditch final, Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw.
When Harry walked across the pitch to take his seat in the stands, he saw Dolores Umbridge standing on the podium, wearing a green floral dress that made her look even more like a giant toad. She had that disgusting, sinister smile on her face.
Dolores Umbridge was very proud at the moment. She felt that her decision to confiscate Harry's Firebolt and ask Harry to be banned from the game was too wise. Please Alan Harris, after all, Alan Harris is the coach of Ravenclaw.
Sure enough, what did not disappoint Umbridge was that although Ginny, the red-haired girl from the Weasley family who replaced Harry, performed well,
But the Golden Snitch was still caught by Qiu Zhang, who has more experience as a Seeker. Ravenclaw, who has undergone professional tactical training, is really too strong. The tactics and flying skills they employ are dazzling and make Gryffindors overwhelmed. Even if Ravenclaw's Seeker Qiu Zhang didn't catch the Snitch first, Gryffindor might not be able to win the final victory.
In order to win the game, Ravenclaw's Seeker Qiu Zhang almost did everything possible, not only focusing on finding the Golden Snitch, but also cooperating with her teammates to interfere with Gryffindor's Chaser, assisting Ravenclaw Law scored. This is Qiu Zhang's last Quidditch match at Hogwarts. She will take the N.E.W.T exam next year, so she won't have time to train and compete. She also tried her best.
Apparently, the Gryffindor wizards had a different take on losing the game, feeling that they lost the game solely because their team's best Seeker, Harry Potter, was suspended and unable to play reason.
"If Harry was on the field, Cho Zhang would definitely not be her opponent." Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas complained, and these words made Ginny, who was already depressed because of losing the game, even more sad.
"What if our Alan Harris is on the field?" Lisa Dupin, who was passing by, retorted coldly when she heard the words, and walked away from them with her head raised, leaving a silence.
Harry, who left the stands, kicked a small stone with his head down, and slowly walked back to the common room. Since Gryffindor lost the game, Harry could only see frustrated and angry faces everywhere. The team sat despondently by the fire, except for Ginny. Harry blinked, turned and left the common room to look for his girlfriend. It wasn't Ginny's fault that she lost, and she didn't have to care about everyone's angry words.
Harry looked out of the dark window. She must be very sad at the moment. Not long after leaving the Fat Lady's portrait hole, Harry encountered Ravenclaw's ghost, Ms. Gray. After Harry took the initiative to say hello, he watched Ms. Gray, who had completely ignored him, drift away. Harry scratched the back of his head. He felt that he had met Ms. Gray quite frequently recently. Take today as an example, when he just came back from the game, he had already seen her once. Unexpectedly, within a short period of time, He actually met her again.
That night, in Nurmengard Prison, Germany, Grindelwald, who hadn’t washed his hair for a few days and had a beard, sat slumped on the sofa and kept stuffing caramel popcorn into his mouth—he was planning to watch the broadcast on TV news programs.
There was a flash of fire in the prison, and Dumbledore, who hadn't heard from him for a long time, appeared in Grindelwald's prison. He was wearing a dark purple robe covered with silver stars, obviously well-dressed.
Grindelwald's tone sounded a little angry: "If you are kicked out and want to stay temporarily, you should also notify in advance, so that I can prepare to clean up."
"Gellert, why are you so fat?" Dumbledore was obviously still in a state of surprise.
Grindelwald continued to complain: "You know that I am prone to gaining weight. When I was in the United States, I gained weight because of the local food. I was imprisoned by their Ms. Piccolo for a while before I lost weight...The conditions improved Now, plus I've been obsessed with popcorn and TV lately, and Nurmengard only offers me caramel... Albus, did you bring me your honey?"
