The Bard at Hogwarts

Penelope Clearwater.

Ravenclaw seventh-year prefect, also the female president of the Hogwarts Student Union.

Facing the angry eyes in the common room, Penelope calmly put down the wand against her throat.

"What? Do you have anything to say? I'm waiting!"

At the end of the seventh year, Penelope was already an adult wizard in the true sense.

Her tall figure and the majesty of being a prefect for three years made everyone subconsciously turn their eyes away and avoid provocative stares.

"I really want to know what the meaning of your argument here is."

Penelope looked around, but her eyes did not deliberately stay for someone, but instead looked like a soaring eagle examining its own grassland.

"All your arguments are based on the premise that Swinburne is willing to sell the video mirror to you. All your expectations are based on the friendship between Qiu and Swinburne, and this friendship is only in the same club."

"Use your brains, the other party is Ino Swinburne, not Cedric Diggory!"

Penelope's words not only left everyone speechless, but also made Qiu blush.

Qiu covered her forehead helplessly. What does this have to do with her! Why do you have to compare? If possible, she would also like to...

But it is obvious that now is not the time to interrupt.

As if she noticed Qiu's abnormality, Penello pursed her lips and gave the other party an apologetic look.

"Now, anyone who wants to express an opinion or want to perform, take out your Galleons and register with me!"

While speaking, Penello waved her wand, and a piece of parchment and a sketch feather floated in the air.

"Please rest assured that all amounts will be open and transparent!"

...

The same scene was also staged in Hufflepuff, but the protagonist was replaced by Cedric.

But Ino knew nothing about all this.

In the Sanctuary Valley, after watering the magic plants with a weather spell, he put the books copied by Lina into the white marble room.

Looking at the empty bookshelf, he was not disappointed at all, but full of pride.

Although there were only a few books, they were all of high value.

Time travel, resurrection of the dead, invisible books about hiding, notes of the Gaunt family, potion techniques of the Half-Blood Prince...

Of course, there were also notes made of basilisk leather, which contained the formulas of alchemical items such as Ravenclaw's crown, Slytherin's pendant, and time converter.

Now, there are six books copied by Lina from the forbidden area.

"I feel richer and richer!" Ino stroked the bookshelf with a satisfied look on his face.

"You are rich only if you understand it! Otherwise, these treasures will only be temporarily in your custody."

On the blue spider web on the ceiling, Lina chuckled and poked her head out, with a hint of ridicule in her tone.

"Then take your time! Anyway, I have no shortage of time."

He didn't care about this teasing at all.

The existence of the shelter, even the most basic calculation, will be more than twice the lifespan of ordinary wizards.

...

Before dinner was served, Ino left the valley.

Just as he arrived at the entrance of the hall, he saw the Weasley twins looking at each other from a distance, and Qiu who was hesitant to speak.

Faced with this multiple-choice question, he walked towards Qiu without hesitation.

It's not that he has any other thoughts, it's just that he has a deeper friendship with Qiu.

This scene made George and Fred show exaggerated sad expressions at the same time.

Ino didn't care about this, but instead quickened his pace.

"If I'm not wrong, the flower of Ravenclaw is waiting for me specially? That's such an honor."

"Hate!" Qiu rolled her eyes at someone helplessly.

Once, she really waited specially, but what she waited for was a silent response.

"Tell me! What's the matter." After the joke, Ino got straight to the point.

Just now, I saw a few badgers fleeing from the hall.

"I want to buy a video mirror on behalf of Ravenclaw." Qiu Ye said his purpose straightforwardly, and took out a purse with the Gringotts logo from his pocket.

"Here are 220 Galleons! If it's not enough, tell me how much is missing. You can tell me with confidence, because a small part of this is my money."

Listening to the wise words, Ino couldn't help but give Qiu a thumbs up in his heart. Who said that Ravenclaws are all nerds?

"I'll give you one! Don't rush to refuse, listen to me. This is a kind of publicity..."

Smart people are all equally smart.

Following Ino's explanation, Qiu also understood the publicity and hype, but it was precisely because of this understanding that his black and white eyes were full of admiration.

"Then I'll wait for you! Tomorrow at the same time, at the same place." Qiu said word by word, with a context of meeting or not.

Perhaps considering the horror of the rumors, the two had no intention of chatting after finishing the business.

Of course, even if they really wanted to chat, no one would choose a crowded auditorium.

…

Qiu left in a daze.

Ino did not get to eat dinner as he wished, because George and Fred appeared on time, one on the left and one on the right.

“Just say it if you have something to say, my stomach is already protesting.”

Facing the two characters he admired in the whole story, Ino also showed the greatest tolerance.

“Then let’s make it short!” Fred spoke first.

“We want to cooperate with you, or we have an idea to share.”

"Tell me about it!" Ino suddenly became interested, and the twins' ideas in the story never disappoint people.

"We have a talking dressing mirror at home..." This time, George spoke first.

Five minutes later.

Ino understood what the two meant, and at the same time he sighed a little. If he really wanted to make such a mirror, it would be very interesting.

Magic version of movie review, or magic version of Tucao talk show.

"I agree! This idea is great." Ino gave the twins a positive answer.

"So we want to buy a mirror, and at the same time invite you to visit the Burrow during the summer vacation and visit our two trick houses."

Fred and George looked at each other and issued an invitation to visit during the summer vacation.

"Of course! I will write to you before you go. If the place is not convenient, you two can also come to Hogsmeade."

For the twins' invitation, Ino did not refuse. Perhaps visiting the Burrow is also a dream of magic.

"But I will give you the mirror. Don't rush to refuse. Listen to me..."

He once again elaborated on his previous point of view, but also expressed his own thoughts.

"We need industrialization, or what the magic world lacks is always quantity rather than quality."

"Industrialization? Quantity?" George and Fred showed puzzled expressions.

"Yes! We don't lack high-end alchemical products, but we lack popularization..."

For the twins, Ino really wanted them to join, so he talked about industrialization and Muggle assembly lines as much as possible.
