[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

On the first night at Hogwarts, after the turbulent changes and exhaustion, the freshmen dragged their extremely tired bodies and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.Even though they already had clothes that were cursed to dry in a second before going to bed, and ate a delicious meal, the exhaustion lay in everyone's heart, making them feel uncomfortable when they woke up the next morning. Some are in a trance that doesn't know what day and night, everything that happened last night seems to be a bad dream, when they sat in the auditorium again, picked up a fork and started to eat breakfast, many people's expressions were dazed, they all looked like Is sleepwalking.

Harry and Ron were also two of them, and they thought a little more than the other freshmen about the man who couldn't even be named and the purpose of his raid on Hogwarts.The late-night huddle didn't lead to any meaningful conclusions, but it made them all the more tired, and now they're literally feeding bacon and fried eggs up their noses.

Contrary to them, among the freshmen, Hermione showed an unusually radiant look. She propped up a book in a jam jar and was reading while eating. She looked full of ambition and was ready to speak loudly in class. Show your skills.

Ron happened to be sitting next to her today. After being woken up several times by her because he dozed off while sitting, he finally regained consciousness. Yes, would you be interested in meeting one of my older brothers? His name is Percy Weasley, and he's sitting over there. Look, there's the one over there who's reading a book with glasses on. The two of you can form a There are so many clubs at Hogwarts. Or you two can pull Isaac over to join, but I guess he might not be interested in joining you, he's not a nerd."

"Don't be stupid, no one will form this kind of society." Hermione gave him a blank look and said rudely.But then, she chewed on the statement that there are many clubs, and raised her eyebrows with interest.

"So Hogwarts also has clubs? And there are many more?" She asked, looking a little surprised, "It wasn't mentioned in "Hogwarts. A School History."

"The author of that book has passed away for many years. Of course, the history of Hogwarts in the last ten years will not be mentioned, Hermione." Sitting next to Harry, he was helping the sleepy chicken pecking rice. Dorothy, who was spreading jam on a slice of bread, said with a smile, raising her eyebrows at them, "Hey, Hogwarts has changed a lot in the past ten years, we now have a food club, a beauty club, weird invention clubs Research Society—By the way, the current president of this society is George—what is the latest society to submit an application, I just saw the application yesterday... The Society for Resisting Muggle Object Invasion? It seems to be called this. As long as Three people can apply for the establishment of a society with their signatures. There are too many categories, and I can't remember all of them. The one that has impressed me the most so far is the Cedric Diggory Fellowship, the Three Hufflepuffs It was co-founded by strange girls, very thoughtful..."

The freshmen sitting near her all opened their mouths, looking at her in disbelief, as if she was talking about some bible.But those clubs all sound interesting, and no one can restrain themselves from showing interest, which sounds much more interesting than Transfiguration and Charms.

"Is it possible to create this kind of club?" Ron asked dumbfounded, then he rubbed his chin and said deeply, "Well, maybe a Harry Potter fan club will be established next year, and the president is Ginny .”

"Who's Ginny?" Hermione asked from the sidelines.

"My sister, Harry's number one fan..."

"If you are interested, please pay attention to the campus bulletin board. The recruitment notices of various clubs have been posted. Every year, the recruitment of first-year freshmen is a big event in the clubs, except for the Quidditch teams of each college. Well, they don't take first-years," Dorothy told them, and then turned to them to find that Harry, too, was almost awake, munching his plate of toast with jam, not paying much attention to his surroundings, his cheeks Puffed up, like a squirrel just a little bit dumb.

"The expression is good." Dorothy commented with great interest, took out a camera from somewhere, and snapped a picture of him, "The much-anticipated savior came to his loyal Hogwarts! First-year star freshman ha Leigh Potter Revealed, what do you think of the title? I'm going to take this picture I just took as a sideshow and ask me to take a frontal picture when you're done eating later, Harry. Maybe you like me better Shooting when you take flying lessons? It’s a good way to show your strengths, and that’s fine too.”

"I... huh? What?" Harry half-chewed the bread, and turned to look at her inexplicably, not quite understanding what she was talking about for a while.At this moment, Ron suddenly realized and clapped his hands hard, which startled both Harry and Hermione.

"The Hogwarts Paper!" he cried, flushing with excitement, "Bill told me! He was the editor of the school paper when he was a student! And George and Fred! I was in their I read the newspaper there! But I always thought it was a tabloid circulated by students in private, and the content on it..."

He didn't know what he thought of, suddenly choked and coughed a few times.

"There are so many pages in the newspaper, and it's okay to have two pages occasionally reporting on the campus anecdotes of the students and the gossip of the professors." Dorothy said with a smile, waving the camera at them, "Yes, the school newspaper is The largest club in the school, not one of them, our official members include almost one-third of the school, and the people who contribute to us almost catch all the students, even some teachers will contribute, but they always insist on giving themselves Anonymous... Interested, Harry? It would be a pity not to join any clubs at school, it would lose a lot of fun, even Percy joined the book club."

Join the school newspaper?Although Harry didn't quite know what he was going to do after he went in, he was very interested in participating in school activities with everyone.He'd seen Isaac and Dorothy at Muggle school events, and it all looked like fun...

"Are you in there too?" He asked a little excitedly.

"Of course." Dorothy said proudly, puffing out her chest. "Of course I'm in it! Isaac is there too—although he submitted a manuscript after he joined, and it was so boring that few people read it, but Frank Professor Levy gave Ravenclaw twenty points after reading his article."

"That's no problem, I'll apply to join too. Ron? Okay, Ron wants to join too." Harry said reassuringly, "If both of you are here, my aunt and uncle will definitely not object, so I won't call." Called back to ask for their club suggestions."

"Against? You're kidding!" Dorothy said in amazement. "Who do you think was the founder and first editor of the Hogwarts school newspaper? It was my dad! And Aunt Lily was the deputy editor of Gryffindor at the time." !"

What?Harry opened his mouth wide in surprise, and immediately felt that the school newspaper he had heard of for the first time became friendly.

Thanks to Dorothy's introduction in advance, they were not dazzled in the subsequent recruiting activities of the club.The leaflets flew to them like snowflakes. In just three days, every first-year freshman felt that he was about to be overwhelmed by leaflets.

But, as Dorothy said, the school paper was the most famous of all societies.On the third day, they saw the school newspaper’s special opening issue—Harry and Ron each subscribed to a year’s edition immediately, and most of the other freshmen did the same, and some even subscribed to more than one copy. Seamus ordered two copies for himself, and rolled up one of them and wrapped it up after getting the newspaper.

"Order a copy for my ex-neighbor, who went to school at Beauxbatons," he told Harry and Ron, with a look of pride on his face. It's all interesting."

Such an example is not limited to Seamus, Neville is also like this.He was hit by a stun spell on the first day of school, and he couldn't go back to the dormitory that night. He was admitted to the school hospital with other students who were attacked by the spell. He had to stay here for three days, and he could only be released after confirming that there was no problem. .When Harry and Ron went to visit him after class on the third day, they were surprised to see that he was also holding a freshly published school newspaper in his hand.

"Look, the front page is about the attack on us when we started school. I went directly to the school newspaper office to get it after class." Neville motioned them to read the newspaper. Harry and Ron's newspaper hadn't arrived yet, so they leaned over to read it together.

They were surprised to find that the editors of the school newspaper, as senior freshmen, of course did not face the incident directly, but they took the photos from a very clear angle, even closer to the group of hooded men than they freshmen bumping in the lake.The above report on the whole incident was also very clear-cut, and the whole article was berating those adult wizards who attacked the first-year students. Harry read it carefully and found that the above did not have any special comments on him, and did not mention this He was relieved that the blame was on him.

He'd been worried that people would think he was responsible for this innocent disaster...some voice in the corner of Harry's mind told him it was, but Harry didn't tell anyone, he didn't want to tell people how afraid he was of being a nuisance people.

They walked out of Neville's ward with ease, and just ran into Hermione Granger who was also visiting Neville. She came over with a book alone, and stopped when she saw Harry and Ron.

It has to be said that the first impression she left on others was similar to the one she left on Harry Ron, not so pleasing.Of course, she has excellent grades and is always the most active one in class, but it is difficult for a person who can only immerse himself in books to understand her other strengths, such as Harry and Ron guess, except for the two of them and Neville, No one has yet discovered that she is actually brave, kind-hearted, and a nice person.

"Hi." Harry greeted her proactively, and said friendly, "We came right after Charms. Neville just fell asleep, and Madam Pomfrey gave him a strong sleeping potion. He's fine now." , probably tomorrow will be able to join us in class."

"Oh, that's right." Hermione nodded, tightened her grip on the textbook, and cleared her throat, "I... I sorted out the knowledge points in the textbooks for the past three days. need."

"They certainly don't want to see this in the hospital bed." Ron said pertinently, but when he saw Hermione's face change slightly, he coughed and said quickly, "But they will need it when they start studying." Yes, a note from the top student who added forty points to Gryffindor in the first three days of school... Have you eaten yet? Dinner is already served in the Great Hall."

"What?" Hermione subconsciously glanced at the watch on her wrist - it is said that ten years ago Hogwarts could not use Muggle electronic products at all, but now it can be used, but there is still no internet.She nodded, raised her hands uncomfortably to stroke her messy long hair, "You're right, then I'll..."

"We're going to the Hall for dinner, too," said Ron. "Shall we join?"

Hermione froze for a moment, not expecting him to say this at all.She took a good look at Ron, as if reacquainted with him again, and Ron looked a little uncomfortable, but finally she hugged the textbook and gave them a friendly smile.

"Okay," she said. "Of course, I mean—I'd love to."

The beginning of friendship is sometimes so sudden, as if full of various coincidences, but maybe everything is just a natural occurrence that should happen.Neither Harry nor Ron expected they would form such a close friendship with a girl, they hadn't grown up with too many girls their own age, and Hermione and Dorothy were very different from Ginny.Of course, maybe all girls are different from each other, and all in all, they were surprised by how well they got along with their new friends.

Harry was no doubt delighted to have a new friend.This kind of happiness made him sit in the cellar classroom of Potions class still smiling and in a good mood, which made the professor of this class find him when he just walked in the door, and wrinkled in dissatisfaction He lowered his eyebrows.Harry quickly put away his smile, recalling his impression of his uncle's friend whom he didn't know very well, as if other people's stupidity and smirk would deeply offend him.

But it's too late.While Harry was holding his breath, he was still called by the professor to stand up and asked a series of questions without stopping.Some of Harry knew it, some didn't see it, some didn't remember it, and Hermione raised her hand eagerly next to him, her arm almost reaching the sky, but Professor Snape seemed right to give Gryffindor points Totally uninterested, he stares at him for a few seconds, throwing him a half-faced taunt about the famous savior.

This made Harry quickly realize that his trembling in the face of Severus Snape was very reasonable, it can be called animal intuition, this man is very strict, and he is not as tolerant and friendly as others treat him ...But there was nothing wrong with that, there was no rule that everyone in the world should like him, Harry thought it was normal.

"Don't be discouraged, buddy." Ron comforted him beside him when he left the classroom after class, "I just heard from Seamus that Professor Snape was the bottom one in the professor popularity selection of the school newspaper last year, and I don't like him. There are too many students who are not liked by him, and you are not bad."

"If Harry is really doing his best, there's no reason for him to trouble Harry, Ron." Hermione walked on the other side of Harry, and said disapprovingly, "Professors don't want to make trouble for no reason." If he hates a student, he may just have high expectations of Harry and be strict with him."

"Harry's only had his first Potions lesson, Hermione," said Ron. "What's he going to do? He hasn't learned that yet. I've known him for seven years, and I swear he's not you." In this way, I can read every book and eat it later.”

Even though Harry was drooping, he was still amused by Ron's words.Hermione patted Ron angrily with the book she was holding in her arms, and the latter hurriedly dodged after being hit. Harry shrugged and waved his hands at the two of them.

"I know West...Professor Snape didn't mean any harm." He said to the two friends, "I know him, he is a friend of my uncle, and my uncle said that my mother had a good relationship with him when he was in school... He must Not to kill me, I thought."

Ron and Hermione stopped fighting and both looked at him in surprise.

"You mean he's doing it for your own good?" Hermione said hesitantly, "Well...it's not impossible..."

"You mean that although Professor Snape usually has a stinky face, as if all the students owe him money, but in fact he is soft-hearted, and he is an awkward and arrogant person. Although he mocks you and deducts your points, in fact he will Secretly paying attention to you, worrying about you, treating you well?" Ron smacked his mouth and said, "This is a bit scary, buddy."

Behind them, someone suddenly coughed heavily, and they all turned their heads away, suddenly frightened out of their wits.Severus Snape came out of the dungeon with a cold face, his gaze swept across their faces like a blade, and he strode away over them, his robe fluttering behind him like a giant bat.

Leaving the three of them standing stiffly in place, watching their noses, noses, noses and hearts, shrinking their heads like quails, not daring to breathe.After a long time, Harry finally raised his head and looked around quietly, and finally heaved a long sigh of relief after finding that there was no one there.

"It's really scary." He said with lingering fear, "Well, maybe he really doesn't like me..."

"It's hard to say before." Ron patted him on the shoulder, "It will probably be in the future."

Well, I will worry about things later.The three of them left from the corridor and went to the auditorium for dinner. As soon as Hermione sat down, she habitually took out her timetable and studied the class to be taught tonight.

"Tonight's class is in the auditorium." She said in surprise, "and it's all the students of the school - so there are public classes like this in Hogwarts? I thought it was only in universities."

"Nor last year." Dorothy said to them diagonally across from a few people, sitting with her friends today. I wanted to discuss it in the special issue of the school newspaper, but unfortunately no one knew what the class was going to be except for the name, and no textbooks were distributed, so we had to put it on hold for now.”

"Boring from the name," said George, who was further away from them, and Fred nodded beside him, commenting, "Sounds like the kind of class Percy would enjoy, you see, he and his eyes are Now that the light is on, he looks eager to try, he may think that this class will require us to duel with each other on the spot by reciting knowledge points."

They quietly glanced at Percy, who was oblivious to the complaints, and began to secretly laugh.After the dinner was removed from the table, the four long tables in the auditorium disappeared, replaced by rows of desks and matching chairs. There is no distinction between colleges, and everyone can choose seats at will.

Harry and Ron, at Hermione's insistence (what are you kidding! This is a new school-wide elective course at Hogwarts! Our grades will be ranked with the seventh graders! Hermione said as if facing the enemy) In the first row, next to them, two Ravenclaws sat next to each other, with schoolbags taking up two places next to them.

A minute later, Isaac appeared next to the two Ravenclaws, and he took his sister's arm.Dorothy didn't seem very happy about being dragged to the front row, and was negotiating with her brother: "Do you have to sit here? I want to be with my friends. We chose the fifth row, which is a good seat." ..."

"Come back next class," Isaac told her. "The name of this class is a bit special. If I guess correctly, you will blame me for not pulling you over in five minutes."

Yeah?Dorothy gave Isaac a suspicious look, and tentatively believed his judgment.As soon as they sat down in their seats, the door of the auditorium was pushed open from the outside, and a person walked in.

He was dressed in a decent plain wizard robe, dressed formally and normally, with black hair and black eyes, and a gentle expression. Compared with other professors, he was too young.The lights in the auditorium illuminated his handsome features, and the students all turned their heads to look at him, seeing him walking alone through the aisle between the tables and chairs, and walking towards the new screen that just appeared in the auditorium, without any exaggerated momentum, But no one can feel the slightest contempt.

The quill that Dorothy had just picked up fell to the table, spreading a large ink blot across the notebook, and Harry's mouth opened, and his heart beat violently.

"Good evening, Hogwarts students." The professor standing in front of them said, "Welcome to the situation and policy class. I am the keynote speaker of this class, Eli Smith."
