Chapter 36
Chapter 36 Halloween (3)
Professor Sprout gave Jon a Halloween surprise.
Jon followed Hufflepuff’s students back to the lounge, and when he was blocked at the entrance of the lounge, he suddenly realized that the lounge had become very crowded.
It took a long time for Jin to squeeze into the lounge, and then Jon knew what was going on.
Professor Sprout, who left the banquet in advance, prepared a magic board with a notice on it. In addition to some congratulatory words, it also wrote one thing.
“What will Professor Sprout use to help us get the Academy Cup?”
Jon followed Stephen through the crowd and returned to the dormitory. His ears were full of discussions surrounding this issue.
When they returned to the dormitory, the three people who had been holding back all the way surrounded Jon, wondering what was going on.
“The Academy Cup is actually a gimmick I told the professor.” Jon himself felt a headache: “The professor didn’t really want to agree at the time. I thought about this reason as soon as I turned my mind. If this club is established, everyone’s grades will improve. Naturally, we will get more points for the college. After all, our college has no advantage in other places and still has an advantage in terms of number of people.”
“Isn’t that good? What’s to worry about?”
Scully is puzzled that the club can help everyone learn and it is also conducive to getting the Academy Cup. This is a good thing no matter how you look at it.
“The problem is that Hogwarts does not have any rules on club bonus points. All my ideas are based on the hard work and talents of our college students, but this foundation is not guaranteed. To be straightforward. It is that I overdrafted the dean in advance, a result that may occur in the future, but the possibility of this result is not high at all.”
“In other words, you lied to our dean?”
Fren looked a little nervous. Although Jon did this thing, he always felt that he had his support in it.
As soon as he became nervous, Jon, who was sitting across from him, was not so nervous.
Jon took a breath, calmed down, and patted Fren on the shoulder.
“Don’t worry, this is not a lie, it’s just a result of a relatively small possibility, through the way of speaking to make it look more likely…
Although the magnitude of this “some” is a bit exaggerated, our original intention is good. In the end, even if there are any problems, we can push it elsewhere.
We are just new students. Who will blame us? ”
The three nervous people, none of them heard the guilty conscience in Jon’s tone.
“It makes sense to say so.”
Stephen dragged his chin, and said solemnly: “But we can’t be irresponsible because of this.”
Responsible?
Jon pursed his lips, wondering what responsibility do they have?
The person who founded the club is Professor Sprout. Whether he can win the Academy Cup is not alone in his decision.
At the beginning, he wanted to make this club just to find himself a golden glove. The initial plan was to pass some of the improved spells slowly, in stages, and through discussions among the students. , Hufflepuff can always find a few so smart students to find ways to improve these spells. At the end of the day, Jon can say that his improvements to the spells come from the exchanges between the students.
This is good for the entire Hufflepuff students. Apart from the powerful curse, there is no problem in defending yourself in battle.
Here in Jon, the number of people is powerful, not a reason, but a result.
And by that time, these modified spells will be common, and Jon’s role in them is only the person who spread the spell in the first place and the person who benefits in the end.
Announced that he did not intend to come forward by himself, and Stephen and the others would not take the initiative to expose this matter.
They are not children for a long time, especially when compared to their peers, they have become wizards.
At this age, they have long understood everything, and the world of these little wizards is very realistic. They may be happy to show off because of certain things, but when they suddenly become vested in something serious enough When benefiting people, keeping secret, concealing, and even “mature” will become a certain survival instinct for them.
As Jon’s roommates, Stephen, Fren, and Scully, they realized how amazing their roommate was and put themselves on the boat of Jon. They were thinking about something related to Jon. When doing things, he instinctively consults Jon’s opinions, rather than doing his own things casually.
Jon is good at using this instinct, and can use this instinct of others.
Of course, this kind of “utilization” is on the basis of not affecting friendship.
The friendship between wizards is a serious matter, just like Harry Potter’s parents handing over their destiny to Peter Pettigrew This represents a large part of absolute trust.
The only difference is that, on the one hand, Jon has maintained enough hole cards, so he is not afraid of betrayal by his friends, on the other hand, Jon has maintained enough kindness to trust his friends.
But, how can his kindness be so cheap, can he be responsible for the entire Hufflepuff College?
“It’s not that this is responsible, I mean we have to help Professor Sprout, not to embarrass Professor Sprout.”
“Yes, we must at least respond to the professor first, so that the professor will have a better impression of you.”
Jon admitted that what Steven said was reasonable. After all, it was Jon who made this opinion to Professor Sprout. How could he say that Jon could not stop Professor Sprout from this matter.
After all, there are still several years to spend in Hufflepuff.
He wasn’t afraid of what Professor Sprout would do to him. This professor and his ancestor Hufflepuff were always gentle, but he first took advantage of the professor’s care and kindness to the students, and he felt a little guilty.
“That’s it, we will be more positive when the time comes.”
Jon affirmed Stephen’s thoughts, tucked all three people back into their bed curtains, and lay down on the bed.
I always feel that after coming to Hogwarts, a lot of unexpected things happened to him.
Even if Jon keeps improving the intensity of his thoughts, there is no way to avoid these unexpected things.
Then, let them just let them go with the flow.
As long as there is a problem, there is a solution. It is useless to worry about it.
What’s going on tomorrow, I’ll talk about it tomorrow.
Get a good night’s sleep tonight.
