Chapter 116 32 Brooms! (Part 2)

Chapter 117 32 broomsticks! (Down)

Malfoy's fingers holding the knife and fork turned a little white, and his body kept shaking, not sure whether it was nervousness or excitement.

Zhang Xiao patted him on the shoulder and encouraged:

"Relax, you are the spokesperson and secretary of Qingluan Society, it's no big deal. If it doesn't work, just imagine the people below as baboons!"

"Baboon?" Malfoy was amused. His tense and stiff muscles finally relaxed a little, and he kept smoothing any wrinkles on his robes with his hands.

And kept stroking her hair.

"Maybe their curls look cute and funny?"

Malfoy pursed his lips, adjusted the Qingluan Club badge on his chest again, then took a deep breath, and slowly walked to the rostrum under everyone's eyes full of meaning.

Looking at the pairs of eyes below staring at him, Malfoy suddenly felt that his throat was a little tight and he felt dizzy. He suddenly regretted it.

If I had known that Zhang would not have agreed immediately when he asked him if he wanted to be a 'spokesperson'.

When people are nervous, their thinking always becomes strange. Malfoy suddenly remembered what Zhang Xiao taught him:

"Think of the people down there as curly baboons, because they're so cute and hilarious."

How about giving it a try?

The little wizards below stretched their heads and looked at Malfoy standing motionless in front of the podium, wondering what on earth he was going to do.

Malfoy suddenly couldn't help laughing, and this smile seemed to sweep away the tension.

He cleared his throat, took out his wand and said softly to himself:

"The voice is loud!"

With the blessing of the amplifying spell, his voice resounded throughout the restaurant:

"Dear students, after Zhang's proposal, respected Principal Dumbledore agreed, our Qingluan Club upholds the principles of fair competition, higher, faster, and stronger.

Therefore, the ancient oriental nobles Zhang, Malfoy family, Zabini family and Shacklebolt family decided to donate the latest model of flying broomstick Nimbus 2001 to the school! "

Zhang Xiao waved his wand again from below, and the broom's outer packaging was neatly opened and fell off to the ground, revealing a black and silver flying broom with smooth lines.

"Wow!!!!" the little wizards exclaimed in unison.

Malfoy became more and more proud. At this moment, the wonders of the little wizards intoxicated him more than anything else. He felt that his body was trembling, but this time it was not nervousness, but excitement.

Yes, this is the feeling I want, real respect from others, not false flattery!

He raised his head and said loudly: "

These brooms will be donated equally to each college! Every one! A total of 32 Nimbus 2001!

It aims to improve the level of Quidditch teams in each college and allow students to experience high-level competition in advance. "

"Boom!" Like a volcano erupting, the whole restaurant immediately boiled. The little wizards stood up from the long table, clapped their hands desperately, and talked loudly with each other.

The professors who had not received the news were also shocked by Slytherin's generosity. The professors at Hogwarts were already very well paid.

But even so, 32 Nimbus 2001 is an extremely large number.

Unless it's an 'old employee' like Professor Spencer who has been working for hundreds of years - if Hogwarts keeps paying him a salary.

Ron jumped up from his chair, clapped his hands wildly, and even his hands turned red. He shouted excitedly to Harry:

"Harry! This is Nimbus 2001! Every house has one! I'm Gryffindor's first substitute goalkeeper!

I didn’t expect that one day I would be able to ride the latest model of a broomstick!

I don't think Malfoy is so annoying now! "

Harry also clapped his hands and nodded in agreement with Ron's words. Unsurprisingly, everyone on the Quidditch team will be happy for this.

Sure enough, Wood took off his college robe and swung the clothes around like a lasso.

Harry could understand Wood's excitement very well. Slytherin's two biggest advantages were that the first was its well-equipped equipment, and the second was its numerous tricks.

From the time Qingluan Club first appeared in front of everyone, the Slytherin team no longer used those despicable tricks.

If we smooth out the disadvantages in equipment, then everyone will be on the same starting line! The competition is about whose strength is stronger!

Wood is very confident at this point!

Fred and George also hugged each other and shouted loudly:

"Slytherin finally did something good!"

Hermione was not very interested in Quidditch. She wanted to understand the deeper meaning of this matter.

Faced with such an enthusiastic response, Malfoy couldn't help but be infected. A faint blush appeared on his pale face. He opened his hands, and even with the help of the amplifying spell, he still roared with all his strength to drown out the noisy sounds in the restaurant. Pressed down.

"Now, on behalf of the Qingluan Society, I will officially hand over these broomsticks to Hogwarts!"

The cheers of the little wizards grew louder and louder, and many professors couldn't help but clapped their hands along with them. Professor McGonagall even showed a rare happy smile. No one hoped for fair play and higher standards than her. of the game.

Only Lockhart's face was full of regret and annoyance. How great would it be if such a highly anticipated moment was his? Why not invite him to announce the news together?

Maybe it will make the headlines of the Daily Prophet again!

In this warm atmosphere, Dumbledore slowly stood up from his high-back chair, stretched out his hand and pressed down, and the noise in the restaurant gradually became smaller.

He couldn't help but reveal a faint smile on his face. He didn't use magic, but his voice echoed throughout the restaurant:

"Ah, yes, I understand your excitement. What a happy news.

Here, as the headmaster of Hogwarts, I should express my gratitude to the Slytherins for making such a generous move."

Dumbledore nodded slightly towards the Slytherin table. Just such a nod made the Slytherins of Qingluan Society very happy!

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but smile. Did Dumbledore finally stop being stingy with his recognition of the little snakes?

"I also agree with Mr. Draco Malfoy's principle of fair competition, higher, faster, and stronger. I hope everyone can have a more exciting game and fully enjoy the fun brought by Quidditch.

Okay, I know what you are looking forward to. You can't help but want to try these beautiful brooms, right?

If I were a few years younger, I think I would also ride them and fly around for a try."

Dumbledore winked at the little wizards below playfully.

Everyone was embarrassed to laugh when their thoughts were exposed.

"In this case, the brooms will be distributed to each college this afternoon! And I announce that the time of the first Quidditch game will be postponed for a while so that everyone has enough time to get familiar with the brooms!"

Cheers and screams resounded throughout the restaurant again, and this time Dumbledore did not stop them.

In the Slytherin lounge, the members of the Qingluan Society cheered loudly to celebrate the success of this collective action. Even when leaving the restaurant, many little wizards from other colleges saw the badges on their chests and gave them thumbs up, praising their behavior loudly.

They didn't expect that they could get such great recognition just by spending a little money. It turns out that money can be spent in this way?

Some purebloods who run workshops at home have begun to consider whether to donate other things, such as feather pens? Crucibles? Parchment?

Not only can they gain respect, but they can also bring a lucrative order to their family's industry! Kill two birds with one stone!

However, this idea was immediately rejected by Zhang Xiao as soon as it was proposed. The reason is very simple.

Too much is as bad as too little.

Donating flying brooms is already the top operation. It is possible to continue to do so unless Hogwarts lacks some necessary facilities in the future.

And the donation object must be a school and a specific facility.

Donating to others will only cultivate hatred.

At this moment, he and Malfoy were sitting in their old seats. Malfoy had just experienced his first performance in life and was very excited:

"Zhang, you didn't see it! I was so nervous at that time, and I thought this speech was definitely over, and then suddenly I remembered what you taught me."

Zhang Xiao picked up the schedule and said casually:

"Then what, Draco?"

"Imagine them as curly-haired baboons! Guess what?"

Malfoy laughed so hard that tears came out, and he covered his stomach and said:

"I saw hundreds of curly-haired baboons below. They tilted their heads and scratched their heads and looked at me. Hahahahahahahaha"

Zhang Xiao glanced at him speechlessly, then shifted his gaze to the suddenly changed schedule, pointed to a column on it, and whispered:

"Emergency Hedging Training Course Professor Snape"

What the hell is this?
