Hogwarts becomes host

It took five or six hours to finally get what she wanted to know from Riddle. After giving the diary to Nott to take away, Elaine went to the restaurant to have dinner.

She didn't do much but it was getting dark. Time passed so fast. She originally wanted to practice magic.

There were many students dining in the restaurant. Elaine walked to the Gryffindor table and stood quietly. Ron, who was sitting next to Hermione, immediately raised the half-eaten steak plate, squeezed towards Harry, and moved Make an empty seat.

Just as he put down the steak plate, Daphne, who was sitting at the Slytherin table, seemed to be summoned by Elaine's flying spell. She patted his shoulder with a smile, and Ron had to continue to go to Harry's. Lean in the direction and squeeze out a position for her.

This has become the norm at the Gryffindor table. Not only the boys like Ron and Harry, but also the girls headed by Lavender are used to it. Only the first-year students looked at them in shock that they did not include Ginny.

"Society"

As soon as Elaine took a piece of bread, Lavender, who was sitting opposite, spoke to her.

"Yes, you can join freely starting from second grade. There are flyers for various clubs on the bulletin board, and many seniors have come to ask us which club you plan to join." Lavender said enthusiastically. "There are three musical societies at Hogwarts - the Frog Choir, the Pop Concerts and the Magic Club"

"Weird name." Ron complained. "If you join, you will become a frog."

Hogwarts has many student organizations. In addition to the Quidditch teams of each college and the student unions responsible for managing student affairs, there are also large and small groups or clubs, which include students from different colleges and different grades. , most of the couples or best friends across colleges met through clubs.

Elaine wasn't the least bit interested, and neither was Hermione.

However, other students are very interested. First-year students cannot participate in the club because most club activities involve magic. However, the magic power of first-year students is too low and cannot keep up with other senior students. In the long run, only second-year students can join. The club has become an implicit rule of the school.

"The Magic Music Club is the oldest music club in the school, with a history of more than two hundred years. It is said to have been founded by members of the Shafiq family - the current president is a fourth-year Ravenclaw senior. She came to the lounge to find you in the afternoon and said that as long as you join, you will become the president." Parvati said, "The lead singer of the Frog Choir also came. The Hufflepuff senior said that the members mainly focus on singing. , are not very good at playing musical instruments, so they welcome you to be the pianist. Of course, if you want, the position of lead singer can also be given to you."

"It's so popular," muttered Dean beside him.

"I've heard of pop concerts. They may be because there are mostly Muggles in the club. The instruments and music they play are closer to Muggle style, and they even do strange dances." Seamus frowned and tried hard. Thinking back, he said, "Last time I passed by the classroom, I saw their club members dressing themselves up like corpses, twitching and twisting strangely, saying that this was a famous Muggle singer named Mai Mai."

"It's Michael Jackson." Hermione said helplessly, "A very famous black singer in the United States."

"Which club do you want to join?" Daphne asked Elaine, "By the way, I joined the Hufflepuff Elf Cooking Club. If you want to eat some cookies, I can tell you the event time─"

"No need for any, thank you, I'm very busy." Elaine ate the potato and corn chowder with bread. "Shafiq's family has a lot of things to deal with, and I don't have extra time after school."

"Even though we will cook a lot of delicious steaks, roast chicken, pies, cakes──"

"I don't believe you can make something edible. Who bombed my kitchen during the summer vacation?"

"I don't believe I can do it either." Daphne sighed and looked at Hermione, "Okay, where's Hermione?"

"I would rather read than cook"

"A club." Seamus knocked on the plate. "It would be great if there was a dueling club. I want to learn some dueling moves. Attack spells or defensive spells are good. Hexes are also good. Last year and this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts were both. joke"

"There is a Magic Research Club." Parvati told him. "This club is under the guidance of Professor Flitwick. I heard that there will be many additional spells taught in it─"

"That's just extra instruction in Charms." Ron complained. "What we want to learn are curses that can teach Slytherins, especially Malfoy. Do you know what he did this morning?"

"There used to be a dueling club in the school, but it was abolished for some reason." Hermione thought for a moment with her head sullenly, "I remember Grandpa Slughorn, er, Professor Slughorn, mentioned it to me, it seems Something happened and it was abolished fifty years ago.”

"The company will resume next month." Elaine thought of the content in the novel and raised her lips maliciously, "You can consider joining then. It will be fun."

"Are there really instructors? Will they let us practice dueling? Will they teach us new spells-cough?" Ron asked a lot of questions quickly and bit his tongue. "How did you know you would also join the Duel Club?"

"Personal confidentiality, I didn't say anything." Elaine chuckled, "As for joining, I already said that I don't have that free time. It is possible to go visit and watch the excitement, so please spare me if you join."

Lockhart and Snape's mentoring team, let alone Elaine not wanting to join, after it was announced, there were probably not many people who were willing to join. In the original book, Lockhart specifically kept the fact that he wanted to set up a dueling club a secret. , does he also know that his reputation is too bad, or does he simply feel good about himself and want to surprise his students?

Elaine felt that it was time to find an opportunity to visit the professor privately. Maybe he was not as stupid as what was written and shown in the book. A liar who could deceive the entire magical world should have some advantages.

Moreover, when Lockhart was in Diagon Alley before, no matter what the reason was, he did help Elaine and the Shafiq family to escape. It is time to repay this favor and let him leave Hogwarts safely. As a gift in return; however, of course, the stolen glory must be kept. As for what will happen to Lockhart in the future, that is not within the scope of Elaine's thinking.

Although like the original work, he deserves to be sent to a mental ward for a lifetime, but he always has to think about the Longbottoms next door. Lockhart is not a good roommate─and the most important reason is that since the speeding incident did not happen, Iraq Lian didn't know where to find a broken wand, and asked Lockhart to backfire the memory charm.
