International students at Hogwarts

Chapter 303 White Lies
"Lu Ren, have you heard? This year's big event, do you want to try your skills and add glory to yourself, even though you are already the recipient of the Order of Merlin First Class."

"What the hell is going to happen at Hogwarts? You can either explain it, or go away." Hermione raised her eyes from "Standard Spells, Level [-]" - she had just seen Seamus and the others when they came. She was reviewing the book, and she glanced at Alice's delicate face and breasts that had just taken shape, and said impatiently.

"You don't even know! There are so many people who work in the Ministry of Magic in the family, and your elder brother is also involved in it, but you don't know?" Alice looked shocked, "It's still so law-abiding now. people?"

Ron blushed: "That's right! Isn't it possible?"

"Nothing~" Alice let out a barbell-like laugh, and then left the box.

"Since they are unwilling to tell, then I can only keep it a secret, goodbye~"

Obviously, Ron was directly accused of breaking the defense. During the rest of the journey, he kept a gloomy face and remained silent.He really didn't understand why his father and brother couldn't relax a little bit and let them know the inside story in advance.

Lu Ren sighed inwardly.Mr. Weasley is a loyal and honest man, but in this world, the more honest a person is, the more he suffers.If you have resources and connections, you must try your best to use them. Don’t be embarrassed, because other people are breaking the rules. If you are always innocent, you will suffer in the end.

It’s like a certain flight was canceled due to special reasons. Some people know the news at three o’clock in the morning, some people at six o’clock, and some people don’t know until their friends tell him, but one thing is certain, By the time the official announcement came out at nine o'clock, the flights that could be changed for free had already been sold out.The unlucky guy can only spend tens of thousands more to upgrade.

reasonable?unreasonable.Why do you get the news at three o'clock when the announcement is made at nine o'clock?Can people who don't matter just spend more money?If he had no money, would he deserve to be abandoned?But if he was in that position and got the news, would he inform his relatives and friends - that's for sure.

What is angry is not the privilege, but the inability to use the privilege.

Therefore, Lu Ren respected Mr. Weasley, but he would never be such a person.If it were him, he would have told his children early on, and then planned to see how to get benefits.

The car door opened, and there was a rumble of thunder in the air.Hermione wrapped her cloak around Crookshanks, and Ron still threw his dress robes over the piggy's cage.The rain outside was falling fast and hard, as if buckets of cold water were pouring on their heads continuously.

Lu Ren tried his best to condense the rainwater into a sheet of ice, covering their heads, and cast a floating spell so that everyone's feet would not have to wade in the water, but the raindrops that were blown by the wind flew in obliquely. Drenched them into drowned rats.

"It's hard to imagine freshmen crossing the lake in this kind of weather." Hermione said shivering, she was so cold that even magic flames couldn't dispel the chill.

They took the time to get outside the station, and they were relieved after climbing into a carriage.The door slammed shut, and a moment later, with a violent jolt, the convoy set off down the trail, splashing and splashing all the way.And they quickly packed up their clothes in the car, trying hard to dry the soaked clothes.

Finally, everyone passed through the foyer and came to the magnificent auditorium.For Xin Xuesi's school opening banquet, the auditorium was decorated again.Thousands of candles are suspended from the ceiling, and tables are set with gold saucers and gleaming goblets.Chattering students are filing in and sitting at their college tables.The ghosts of each college are already in place, and Lu Ren and the others are sitting next to Nick, the ghost of Gryffindor College, who is almost headless.

As soon as they were seated, the door of the auditorium opened. Professor McGonagall led a long line of first-year freshmen to the top of the auditorium. The freshmen seemed to swim from a lake instead of a boat. hit the water.

"It seems that I have never seen a cleaner." Hermione asked a little strangely, "Such a big school, Mr. Filch must not be busy by himself?"

"That's why he likes to confine students so much." Ron said casually. At this time, he was looking at the empty gold plate, and all the cakes he ate at noon had been digested.

"The house-elves will help him clean up." Nicol shrugged.

Hermione looked over curiously: "House elves? I've never seen them before."

Oh, they rarely leave the kitchen during the day. said Nick, "they only come out at night to clean up and look after the stove and stuff... I mean, the sign of a good house-elf is you don't even know he's there, so you shouldn't see it at all." They, aren't they? "

Hermione's eyes widened in surprise: "But do they get paid? Do they have holidays? Sick leave, allowances, etc..."

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that," Lu Ren changed the subject aside, "Professor Dumbledore will definitely make the most appropriate arrangements. As far as I know, house elves at Hogwarts are better than wizards There is much happiness in the family—hey, the sorting is about to begin!"

Lu Ren didn't want Hermione to know about their situation. The issue of house elves was very complicated, so he didn't want to talk too much about it.

"It's true." Nick said that Lu Ren was right.

"Oh, that's good." Hearing that Dumbledore had arrangements, and that the working environment of the house elves at Hogwarts was indeed better, Hermione was really relieved and concentrated on watching the sorting house.After the sorting ceremony, they happily had dinner.

There were no moths in the sorting this time, and there may not be a witch who would threaten the sorting hat at the sorting ceremony, and there may not be one in 100 years.However, after the dinner, Dumbledore threw out a big piece of news. One stone caused a thousand waves, and the entire auditorium was in an uproar.

As usual, he said that a few more items were added to the prohibited items in the school - the list has already exceeded [-] items, and students are not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest - Lu Ren said nonsense, students under the third grade are not allowed to patronize Hogsmeade Villages - unless you have an invisibility cloak and know secret passages.

In closing, he said: "There will be no House Cup Quidditch this year."

Harry:! ! !
"...because a big event will start in October and run through the school year—"

But his words were interrupted by a burst of thunder.
