Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 189 Celebration Dinner
It took about a few days for the situation to gradually calm down.

As newspapers and gossip spread, the information that Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets had been solved, the Millennium Basilisk had been killed, and the crisis was over became widely known.

Those students who had been scared away before gradually returned to school.

It is the end of May now, and there is still half a month before the holiday. There are also final exams!
This year, especially the second half, the situation has been escalating. Not only have the students lost interest in learning, even the professors are overwhelmed and have no interest in teaching.

Especially our Professor Lockhart. Ah, he has been sent to St. Mungo's Hospital now, even earlier than Malfoy.

He is now a pediatric inpatient with patients who are two or three years old.

The doctor said: "There is nothing we can do for his condition. We can only try to let him be with people of his own age to see if he can get better."

I have to say that Professor Lockhart used Ron's wand to cast a Backfire Oblivion Charm, which was extremely powerful.

Victims of the aftereffects of a powerful forgetfulness spell often suffer from severe amnesia, which may not heal for several years.

But it is rare to see someone like Professor Lockhart, who can directly erase all his personality memories.

The doctors at St. Mungo's also thought that this case was too novel, and even called in some famous doctors from other countries for a consultation, but the conclusion was not very good - it was probably that Professor Lockhart might have to live again.

Of course, Lockhart, who has high emotional intelligence, can be said to have gained a new life~
If the professor is like this, how can the students be fine?

Under such circumstances, the students' grades are terrible.

Not to mention the final exams, it is difficult to complete the assignments assigned by professors.

Especially now that Snape is temporarily teaching the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the homework is very tricky. He also specially set difficult questions to embarrass the "heroes" who bravely go deep into the Chamber of Secrets and fight the basilisk!
This time Snape was really angry and even didn't let Harry go.

Snape: If I don't let you know how powerful I am, will you challenge a dragon next time? ! Huh? !
Therefore, Ted and Hermione's homework has become a hot commodity these days, and everyone wants to learn from them.

……

On the last day of May, the school decided to hold a celebratory dinner to celebrate the fact that Hogwarts, a thousand-year-old prestigious school, had survived this major crisis.

The school students celebrated for solving the monster in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets - although they sacrificed the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, this was normal, as the disposable professor was about to reach its expiration date.

Many students who had bet at the beginning of the school year that Lockhart could survive the year could only reluctantly pay out their pocket money.

The dinner started just after dark.

These days the house-elf chefs in the Hogwarts kitchens aren't just working behind the scenes.

The food is now prepared on site directly at one end of the auditorium.

Fried, stir-fried, braised, deep-fried, stir-fried, roasted, red and white dishes, looking up at the stars, foie gras and caviar, giant African snails, Australian lobsters...

During this year, the chefs in the kitchen fully utilized their decades-long pent-up creative desire, and their innovations and research in food were simply astounding!
Especially the several kinds of "medicinal meals" developed jointly with Ted, which are magical cuisines with the addition of magical plants and even magic potions. They are not only delicious, but also have various magical effects when eaten.

From nourishing yin and strengthening yang to stabilizing the mind, from restoring physical strength to temporarily enhancing magic power, from resisting abnormal conditions to enhancing magical effects, there are even special effects such as being able to spit fire after eating.

This has been approved by Professor Sprout and Snape.

Although Snape felt it was foolish to waste his time on verifying the effects of medicinal food, he had to go since Professor McGonagall, the vice-headmaster, had spoken!

After all, the salmon and seafood mixed cat rice in the kitchen is also a must-try!

Now, the whole auditorium is filled with fragrance, the sounds of various stir-frying and chopping are endless, and from time to time, the blazing fire in the pot causes a burst of exclamations - it's a great deal to be able to watch a performance before eating!
The dark cloud that had hung over Hogwarts and everyone's heart had dissipated, and everyone's face was filled with relief and joy. Even Snape's old face seemed much more relaxed.

At this time, a little wizard came up and said that he wanted to ask Ted to sing a song to liven up the atmosphere.

As soon as this was mentioned, everyone started to make a fuss.

Ted was reluctant to refuse the invitation, "Okay, okay, stop making noise and making a fuss. I'll sing a song, and then everyone who wants to perform can come on stage, okay?"

The people around cheered and some of the more lively students were already eager to try, such as Ron.

Ron: What should I do? I...I should show you two bites of a chicken?

Ted raised his hand and a chair turned into a wooden platform with ease and effortlessness.

Some perceptive senior students felt Ted's magical attainments more intuitively because it was something they simply could not do.

As the spell level and mental attributes gradually increased, the difficulty of magic began to drop sharply in his hands, so he could perform a lot of tricks.

Ted took out a fist-sized music box from his pocket, snapped his fingers, and music came out of it.

"A song "New Soul" for everyone~" "I am a brand new soul~"

"Coming to this strange world~"

“I look forward to learning how to give and receive~”

"Since I came here, I have experienced happiness and fear~"

"La, la, la, la, La, la, la, la..."

The light and cheerful tune accompanied by Ted's singing makes people indulge in a relaxed and happy mood.

The students all looked up at Ted and hummed along with the simple tune.

The professors in the distance were also there. Professor Flitwick made no effort to hide his admiration for his beloved student. He stood on a chair and gently waved his wand as if he was conducting an orchestra.

Professor McGonagall also looked at Ted, who was surrounded by a group of people listening in the distance, with a smile on her face, and she was clapping lightly with her hands.

Snape turned his head away stubbornly, but pricked up his ears to listen, reminding himself in his heart not to be bewitched and influenced by the singing.

Dumbledore pushed up his crescent-shaped glasses and quietly looked at Ted, who was like a star among the crowd.

He seemed to have seen this scene somewhere before.

It's not Tom. Tom has a huge character flaw. He can only use intimidation and force to maintain his authority. Once this authority falls, he will fail completely.

So, who is it?
It's... it's Grindelwald, his old friend.

At the beginning of this century, when they were still young, those followers who were attracted to him looked at him like this. This look was too familiar, he had seen it too many times, including himself.

Dumbledore thought of a lot of things. Those old events that had long been settled surged up again, and the memories of the dead began to attack him.

Sometimes it's Grindelwald, sometimes it's Tom Riddle, and sometimes it's Ted.

I have lived for a hundred years and have done a lot of things, but I have also made many mistakes.

Maybe I should have a frank talk with him? I must not make any mistakes this time. I don't have the capital to make mistakes.

Ted finished the song to thunderous applause.

"Students, if you want to show off your talents, come up. This thing can accompany you, but you have to know the accompaniment. Input magic power into it..."

After Ted demonstrated the toys he made using alchemy and magic, he jumped off the small stage, and other students jumped on it shyly.

The "portable karaoke" that Ted made in his spare time was a great help.

After all, anyone can sing a few words, no matter how good or bad, but you can't play a musical instrument if you haven't learned it.

It would be so wonderful to have this "portable karaoke" that can provide accompaniment!
Someone even asked Ted how much this thing cost?
Ted no longer needed to make money from this thing, so he said, "I'll give the production method to the Weasley twins. If you like it, you can ask them to buy it!"

The Weasley twins immediately hugged Ted: "Ted, you are our brother!"

Ron┌(.Д。)┐: What about me?
Twins: You were picked up!
"Ted, do you think I still have a chance?" Ron asked eagerly. He also wanted to make money! He wanted to do it in his dreams!

Ted looked at him and asked, "Do you know the Transfiguration Spell of the Pollister III?"

Shaking head - how would I know what Potter Type 3 is? Is he a relative of Harry?

"Do you know the basic alchemy of brass toughening?"

Shaking his head - copper smelting? I'm not familiar with this!

"Do you know any kind of perception spell, or any ancient magic runes that can store magic power?"

Still shaking his head - doesn't the ancient magic language course start until next year?

He knows nothing about anything when asked, and shakes his head when asked three or nine times.

Ted patted Ron on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Come on, Ron!"

I gave you a chance, but you didn't use it.
Ron: "I think we are brothers, there is no need to distinguish so clearly. George and the other two will be enough."

I'd rather eat chicken legs!
