Chapter 340 Lunch and Dinner
But when Kirill sat comfortably in his seat and quietly revealed an expression of "as expected", Parvati had already rushed out, and almost instantly, she shouted, "I'll go get some more food." After that, she left the green tea man alone in his seat.
On the contrary, Ron and Harry were invited by Angelina to sit on the other side of the table, chatting with everyone...
Kirill felt completely bad. Was he being disliked? He looked left and right, scanning everyone, but finally fixed his eyes on... Yang Tian?
"Yang Tian, I know that all of this is your fault. I have already admitted my mistake, but you still treat me like this. Why... why can't you let everyone accept me? I haven't done anything unforgivable, I'm just... just too weak, and I don't want to. Wuuuu..." As he said this, the guy actually cried out loud.
Yang Tian was confused, and so were his friends. What on earth was this guy doing? A sick feeling filled their bodies, and everyone lost interest in talking.
In fact, Kirill was completely overwhelmed at this moment. Just a few days ago, he didn't even need to cry, as long as he pretended to cry, many people would come forward to comfort and encourage him. This method has always been effective. Especially those Gryffindor girls, such as Angelina and Parvati, are always full of protective desire for him.
But today, everything seemed to have changed. I had cried so hard, but they were completely indifferent and even avoided me like the devil. I was already being put on the shelf! What went wrong?
How he wished someone could come forward to comfort him and give him a way out? Even if it was just one person, it would be fine. As long as someone was willing to persuade him, he would definitely come down without hesitation!
But gradually, he despaired. No one really cared about him! Not only that, these people looked at him with strange eyes, and this strange look gradually turned into looking at a fool! Even Harry and Ron lowered their heads in shame, as if they were afraid of having anything to do with them...
Kirill was no ordinary man. Seeing that no one came forward, his tear glands slowly dried up and his crying became less and less. The next moment, he looked into the distance as if he had felt God's salvation, and whispered in a voice that everyone could barely hear: "I must be strong, I will definitely be strong..."
Well, the friends were completely silent. They all turned their eyes to the food in front of them and ate silently. Even Penelope, who was the most lively, and the Weasley brothers, who loved the excitement, had no intention of speaking. The scene was weird, but the silence really continued until the end of lunch...
After lunch, the friends left in a hurry, ignoring Hagrid's request to stay. If they didn't leave now, when would they leave? What if they got stuck with something dirty?
On the other hand, Harry and Ron also reluctantly said goodbye to Hagrid, dragging Kirill far behind the team. They felt ashamed at this moment, but they couldn't just abandon their new friend, right? That would be too tasteless, right? Or maybe, as this guy said, he was just too weak? Forget it, things have already happened, and thinking about it won't change anything. It's better to look forward to the Christmas dinner tonight...
As night fell, at 8pm, the Christmas dinner began on time. The hall was brightly lit, as magnificent as ever. More than a dozen Christmas trees covered with silver frost stood in the hall, and the dome was decorated with ribbons woven from mistletoe and holly, making the whole hall look as beautiful as a dream. Countless magical snowflakes fluttered in the air, and it did not feel cold, but warm and dry.
As it was the holiday, not many students stayed in Hogwarts, and the spacious hall seemed even emptier. However, this did not affect everyone's interest, and all the students gathered at two tables to eat, laughing and talking, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Dumbledore was sitting in the teacher's seat, enjoying the food happily. At the same time, he led all the teachers and students to sing Christmas carols. Fred and George from the Weasley family secretly cast a spell to change the word on their brother Percy's prefect badge to "idiot". Seeing Percy, who was still talking and didn't realize it, the little wizards laughed so hard. Percy still didn't realize the trick and asked everyone why they were laughing...
Yang Tian, who had already had a full meal at noon, was not very interested in food at this time. He just drank a glass of juice casually and chatted and laughed with his friends around him...
Kirill, who had failed in his previous attempt at green tea, did not show any unusual emotions at the table. At this moment, he seemed to have changed his style. While enjoying the food, he listened obediently to the small wizards chatting next to him. He sometimes listened attentively, and sometimes his cheeks flushed, a typical silly little boy.
Everything he did naturally could not escape the scrutiny of his friends. It seemed that this boy was not that simple...
As time went by, the dinner gradually came to an end. Yang Tian, who had been chatting, quietly slipped to the professor's seat while no one was paying attention. He lowered his voice and said to Professor McGonagall, "Professor, I want to talk to you about something."
Professor McGonagall originally planned to let Yang Tian sit down and talk slowly, but when she saw Yang Tian's serious expression and kept hinting with her eyes, she immediately realized that something was unusual. After saying hello to the Transfiguration experts sitting next to her, she hurriedly took Yang Tian to her office...
"Yang Tian, is there anything important you want to tell me?" After entering the office, Professor McGonagall spoke in a gentle tone and went straight to the point.
"Professor, after the Christmas holiday, students will return to school one after another, and the attacks during the holiday are bound to become the focus of everyone's attention again. We have to find a way to deal with it." Yang Tian did not hide anything and stated his purpose directly.
"Do you have a good idea?" Professor McGonagall, who was exhausted by this matter, asked hurriedly.
"As for finding out the truth of the incident, I don't have any good ideas for now." Yang Tian was a little depressed. "Grandpa wrote me a reply this morning. The Yang family sent Wu Chi to carry out the mission and we can't contact him for the time being. It seems that the follow-up investigation of the incident will be delayed for a while. The only clue at present is that since the attack still happened during the Christmas holiday, can we narrow the scope of the investigation to those who are still in Hogwarts?"
Seeing Professor McGonagall nodding thoughtfully, Yang Tian continued, "The current situation is already very urgent. For the stability of Hogwarts, I think the most important thing we should do now is to divert the students' attention."
"How to transfer?" Professor McGonagall asked immediately after her interest was aroused.
