Chapter 222 Reading Club

Harry also looked confused, "What common sense? Ron rarely talks to me about this... Um, um... Mandy... can I take up a little of your time?"

Mandy looked at him, which made Harry a little embarrassed.

However, the girl blushed for a moment, and then seemed to finally muster up the courage to send out an invitation, "You, do you want to chat with us?"

"Huh?" Harry wanted to say, I just want to ask you something. What's your situation?

Immediately, he realized that he should agree to her now!

"Are you... having a party?" He scratched his head in embarrassment, "Can I join? No, I mean, will it cause you any trouble?"

"No!" Mandy laughed, "If it's Harry Potter, there won't be any problems!"

So Harry spent a different afternoon.

No Ron, no Quidditch, no Hagrid, but a bunch of "weirdos".

Yes, Ravenclaws are all a bit maverick. Each of them has their own set of opinions, and through debate, they let others realize their opinions.

There is no need to agree, and they may even contradict each other, but they are all a group of weirdos who insist on their own opinions.

"You know so much." Harry said with emotion, "Being with you, I feel like an ordinary Muggle."

The eaglets puffed up their chests and felt a little proud.

"But... how did you learn those spells?" Harry looked puzzled. "I feel that it is really difficult, very difficult to master."

"Reading." A Ravenclaw senior said two words, "In fact... you should read those textbooks before going to school."

Harry's eyes twitched. He couldn't imagine that if he read those books at home, the Dursleys would kick him out.

""Detailed Explanation of Basic Charms Principles." Mandy took out a book. "This is a must-have book for Charms class. You should buy one."

Harry's eyes widened, "This, this book doesn't seem to be on the list!"

"It was recommended by the store manager of Flourish and Blott Bookstore." Mandy squinted her eyes, "Shouldn't you... just hand him the list and ask him to pick up the books according to it..."

"Um." Harry scratched his head, "It's my first time to buy a book by myself..."

"Then, you can send a letter to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore." Mandy made her own suggestion.

Harry's eyes widened, "What?"

"You can tell them that you have encountered some difficulties in learning magic spells. I hope they can recommend some books that can help you learn. Remember to send the money together." Mandy shared her experience with a smile.

"Harry?" A familiar voice came from behind, it was Hermione, "You, why are you here?"

Harry was startled and looked back at Hermione, "This... I was invited by them..."

Hermione looked even more surprised, "You actually joined the book club? I thought you preferred the Quidditch club."

"What is that?" Harry was confused.

"A club?" Hermione tilted her head, "Oh my God, you don't know, right? Ron is a member of the Quidditch Club. Didn't he invite you?"

Harry scratched his head, "No, I never knew there was such a thing as a society at Hogwarts?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Hermione looked at him with her hands on her hips, as if she didn't know what to say. After a while, she shrugged, "That's right, you can join the student club in the second month of school, and the teacher's club too."

"I really don't know about this!" Harry obviously heard this for the first time. He looked at everyone and asked cautiously, "Can I join you?"

A Ravenclaw who looked very charming spoke, "Oh, I thought Mr. Potter was already our member." As she said that, she blinked, "Or, you don't want to."

He had never seen such a charming woman before. Harry's face instantly turned red, causing the senior sister to smile coquettishly.

"It's a violation to use charm magic on a junior...Senior Holly." Robert sighed and sat next to Hermione, "Why do I have to be pulled to make up the number of people?"

"Because we don't have enough people!" Holly puffed out her chest, "I want to organize a reading club, and Professor McGonagall told me that the club must have students from at least three colleges!"

Robert twitched his lips, "Is this why you are so confident in poaching our association?"

Holly turned her head away from him, "What's wrong with joining more associations?"

"Whatever you say." Robert sighed and said to everyone, "It is difficult for juniors to start a business, and they still need more support from seniors."

Holly giggled and didn't answer.

On the other side, Harry and Hermione resolved their misunderstanding and became friends again.

"I heard Ron say... no one in school ever repeats a grade..." Harry asked hesitantly, "Is this true?"

Hermione said uncertainly, "Well, there shouldn't be one, right?"

Mandy tilted her head and looked at them, seeming a little confused.

"Oh, this is false." Robert interjected, "Every year, people repeat a grade, but this grade is different from what you think."

Everyone turned their heads, as if they were all listening.

"Actually, I asked the principal about this. If you are repeated in school, then after you graduate, you will have to stay in school for one more year. If you stay in school twice, it will be two years, and so on." Robert explained. He said, "In short, don't think that you won't be repeated. When your peers graduate, you will still have to stay with those junior students..."

Robert showed a meaningful expression, "Then you will definitely have a wonderful time."

Everyone imagined that situation for a moment, and then all shuddered.

"Of course, except for those who want to borrow free books in school." Robert shrugged, "Anyway, you can borrow books if you repeat a grade."

Hermione raised her hand.

"Miss Granger, relax, you don't need to be as serious as in class." Holly said with a smile, "Do you have any questions?"

"Wizards, don't you have that kind of public library?" Hermione asked strangely, "It's the kind of place that provides free reading for everyone."

"No." Mandy shook her head, "I heard my grandfather say that books are the most precious wealth of wizards. Hogwarts broke the monopoly of knowledge by wizard families, but even so, magic books are not just available. Buying from Diagon Alley is the best result you can get.”

Hermione's eyes widened, "Oh my God, I must finish reading the library before graduation, otherwise I won't be able to sleep for the rest of my life!"

"You can apply to stay in school as a professor." Robert gave her a suggestion. "You can browse the books in the library at will during your tenure."

"Professor?" Hermione was stunned, "This... I don't think I have thought about it..."
