The Bard at Hogwarts

February 14, 1993, Valentine's Day.

In the early morning, after confirming that there were no classes in the morning, Ino walked out of the dormitory with his suitcase as usual.

After having breakfast in the auditorium, I planned to go to the Black Lake to continue fishing.

Although the Acromantula also has the characteristics of all spiders - being resistant to hunger, but if they want to grow up, they must be supplied with various kinds of meat.

Likewise, he now keeps his suitcase with him as much as possible, even in class. After all, these lively little guys inside may appear to be well-behaved and obedient, but they are actually 5X dangerous species.

Even though it was still a young spider, it was already poisonous, so he did not want to follow Hagrid's footsteps and become another expelled student fifty years later.

…

While thinking, I have arrived at the auditorium.

Although Lockhart is missing this year, the auditorium is still decorated, and the surrounding walls are decorated with blooming roses.

Looking at the decorations around him that fit the festive atmosphere, Ino chuckled and sat on the long Slytherin table. After lightly tapping the table, an English breakfast appeared out of thin air.

This is the case during breakfast service hours. As long as a little wizard sits down and knocks on the table, the house elf in the kitchen will serve a standard breakfast.

You don’t have to choose anything, you just eat whatever is prepared in the kitchen. Of course, except for Hufflepuff, after all, the little badgers go into the kitchen to order food.

Looking at the topping sandwich and a piece of pumpkin porridge in front of him, Ino picked up the tableware and started to taste it.

But before eating, he still put the wand on the table so that he could pick it up at any time when needed. After all, today is a bit special. Last year, I was unprepared and almost suffered a disaster.

8am.

Countless owls flew into the auditorium one after another as if they had agreed.

After the little guys flew into the auditorium, they hung in the air with round eyes, seemingly confirming the recipient. After they find the target, they will fly over the opponent's head and activate the 'accurate' throwing mode.

After a short delay, most of the owls in the auditorium seemed to have found their targets. And most of this was split into two, one part flew to the Slytherin table, and the other part flew to the Hufflepuff table.

"Wingardim Leviosa~"

When he saw a wave of owls flying towards Slytherin, Ino instantly put down the sandwich in his hand, picked up the wand on the table and cast the levitating spell.

After he released the magic, he still held the wand in his right hand, and did not put down the wand as usual when using the levitating spell.

This is an advanced technique for floating spells that he found in the library. After reciting the spell, hold the wand and concentrate, and in the next short period of time, you can apply levitating magic to multiple objects in succession.

Just like playing a shooting game, after waving the wand dozens of times, all the packages and letters floated steadily in the air.

In contrast, an intertwined devil's net with a radius of two meters suddenly appeared on Hufflepuff's long table, and its long tentacles tied all the parcels and letters tightly.

Seeing this scene, Ino sighed. He was worthy of being valued by Professor McGonagall. Cedric's transformation technique always had a calm and precise demeanor.

Although there was Ravenclaw and Gryffindor between them, he still saw the helpless expressions on the other side.

After the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, they each left the auditorium with a pile of packages.

…

Slytherin's dormitory.

Ino walked back to the dormitory, and as soon as he put down the package, Draco came back closely behind.

"Hehe! There are 32 pieces in total, I was just counting them!"

Listening to this teasing voice, Ino said without looking back: "Are you so free? Then please go and call Gore in. Neither of us can finish these candies. It would be a pity if they go bad."

"Oh! Then I'll go!" Draco didn't hesitate. He was now used to Ino's preference for Gower. In short, any extra food he had was given to Gower.

He really couldn't figure out what the advantages of that stupid Gower were.

"Bang!"

As the dormitory door was closed again, Ino began to unpack the packages one by one.

This is probably what happens with lovers. There is nothing else in the package except chocolate.

A stack of various postcards two inches thick was put into an unused cabinet in the dormitory.

Although he didn't have the energy to read these disgusting love words, he wouldn't throw them away casually. After all, they were all written by others with hard work, so basic respect should still be there.

Looking at the mountains of chocolate on the table, Ino decisively took out the wand.

"Reveal quickly!"

After a few seconds, the pile of candies on the table began to gradually light up with pink fluorescence.

"...16 pieces, I really overestimate your limit."

Very speechless, very speechless.

Ino now had the urge to go to the Auror office with this pile of things. Others were looking for additives among the normal chocolates, but he was looking for the normal ones among the additives. There were 30 packages in total, and more than half of them were filled with additives.

I really thought no one would care about writing anonymous letters!

But he also knew that in fact, no one really cared about this kind of thing.

Let’s not talk about whether the anonymous letter owner can be found. Even if he is found, without eating chocolate, it is usually only a small punishment or a big warning, especially for students at Hogwarts, whose identity is a natural protective layer.

For school students, the Ministry of Magic's punishments are mostly verbal warnings.

Only when the little wizard graduates will he experience the real cruel reality.

…

at the same time.

A small-scale discussion also took place in the Slytherin second-year girls' dormitory.

In the dormitory, Daphne was lying on the bed, looking at Pansy with a playful expression.

"Are you really going to watch like this? I don't even need the love potion I gave you! You must have heard the rumors, right? That Gryffindor witch, oh! There is actually a Hogwarts castle inside the crystal ball. !”

Seeing Pansy who was unmoved, Daphne was not discouraged and continued to speak tirelessly:

"That's right! Someone went to her house as a guest. That was the first time besides Malfoy Manor that Ino went to someone else's house, and it was also the house of a friend of the opposite sex. I don't care, but I'm afraid some silly girls will secretly Lying in bed and crying..."

However, before Daphne could finish her words, Pansy responded, stood up and threw herself directly towards the bed.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? Go find the person who offended you...\

,"After the fun, Daphne asked seriously: "Are you really not going to take care of it?"

"What do I care about? The Imperius Curse or the love potion?" Pansy rolled her eyes at Daphne speechlessly. She is so childish despite her age.

"I mean that Gryffindor bitch..." Daphne lowered her voice quietly.

"Stop it now! Your approach won't work. Ino is not a fool, and I don't think I will lose to her. It's still a long time."

Lying on Daphne's bed, Pansy stared at the ceiling quietly.

After a while, she turned over, placed her mouth next to Daphne's ear, and lowered her voice.

"Don't forget, this is Hogwarts."
