Chapter 226 The first meeting of the reading club

After saying goodbye to the Weasleys at the entrance of the principal's office, Ryan congratulated silently in his heart. After all, if there are so many pure-blood families, they are the ones who are truly Muggle-friendly, not to mention their families who have gained the most after the final battle in the original text. Being able to build up one's reputation in their home is also a very important help for one's own goals in the future.

The rest of the day was pretty ordinary. After returning to the common room after a day's work, Ryan saw Hermione come to him with a stack of parchment and a bucket of paste.

What is this for? Maybe because he has been paying attention to Banban's affairs recently, he always feels as if he has forgotten something.

What do you think? Didn't we say we were going to have a book club? Now we should post these notices for everyone to see, so as to attract people. Hermione said with a white look at Ryan.

After putting up notices on several notice boards at the school, Ryan began to silently pray that there would be not too few attendees. He would be very embarrassed if it was just him and Hermione in the reading club. It was quickly Friday afternoon, and after dinner, Ryan was the first to arrive at the empty classroom on the third floor assigned to them by the school.

After opening the door, he found that this empty classroom could seat at least fifty or sixty people, and it didn't look small. Only a finger-thick ash on the classroom furniture proves that no one has come here for a long time.

Clean up, cough, cough— In this case, Ryan could only roll up his sleeves and start cleaning. It has to be said that magic is indeed a very convenient thing, at least to clean up the garbage here is enough to wave a wand.

When he was half-packed, Hermione also came in with her schoolbag on her back. After seeing the scene in front of her, she put down her schoolbag and joined the cleaning process.

With the help of magic, the sanitation is very fast, especially Hogwarts Castle is protected by magic, and the most difficult pest problem when cleaning old houses in the wizarding world is not serious under the influence of magic. Except for a bunch of foxes that were dried up with special potions from the curtains. The only big thing in the room that made them feel like they found a large patch under the desk.

This thing looks like a greenish fungus with eyes, and when startled, it will give birth to countless slender legs and scramble away. Worst of all, they secrete a corrosive substance that slowly corrodes the foundations of the house. For example, Lane found that the floor under this patchy awn was corroded and pitted.

It seems that Hogwarts' magic protection is focused on the outside, and the interior decoration doesn't seem to have much protection. Recalling the partition wall that was easily smashed by trolls in the first grade, Ryan came to this conclusion.

Fortunately, Ryan checked in advance what the old house in the wizarding world would produce, so he successfully used the sweeping spell to get rid of Bendia.

What kind of magic did you use just now? Hermione asked after seeing the scene.

Sweeping spells are a type of housework spells. I previously found that housework spells are a great exercise to exercise the precision of mana manipulation. Because most housework spells are easy to learn and difficult to master, even the slightest difference in magic power will be difficult to master. It has a different effect, such as the fruit and vegetable peeling spell, which is very popular, but it is very difficult to completely remove the skin of the fruit and vegetable without wasting a bit.

In that case, I can try. It was obvious that Ryan's remarks moved Hermione. She decided to wait until she had time to study the housework magic that she had not seen before.

At a quarter past seven in the evening, with a knock on the door, everyone began to arrive one after another.

Neville was the first to arrive. He pushed open the door a little shyly, followed by Cho and Alicia, who had been saved by Hermione last time. There are also Justin Finchley, Hannah Abbott and a dark-haired girl that Ryan is not familiar with, but her purple eyes and the tear mole under the left eye are very characteristic, which reminds Ryan quickly that she seems to be Granny too. Fendo's third grader. Then Luna Lovegood walked in in a trance, feeling as if she had gotten lost and barged in.

The last to come in were the Weasley twins.

It looks like there are more people than I imagined, but who is that black-haired girl? Why am I not so familiar with us in the same grade? Ryan asked Hermione next to him in a low voice.

That one seems to be Jackie Swinton, one of the few people in Gryffindor who loves to learn. If it weren't for Magic Shira's score, the score would not be much lower than the two of us. Because she is the heir to the next Earl of Glamorgan. , so whether it's a hemp wizard or a pure-blood wizard, it's a bit of a rejection of her intentionally or unintentionally, and it's normal for you to be unfamiliar with her. Hermione replied in a low voice.

Isn't the British aristocracy only passed down to men? Does she not have cousins ​​or anything?

Not really. Hermione showed a strange expression here. This title is somewhat abnormal. Their family has been in a single line for at least seven generations. Therefore, their family has produced a few rare countess in history.

Ryan finally knew what was going on. England was a very classy place. The presence of an heir to the nobility at Hogwarts is very special to the British, so being isolated is natural.

After waiting for a while, the time reached the previously set 7:30. After making sure no one else came back, Ryan got up and closed the classroom door.

Hermione murmured a few words at this time, took a deep breath and walked onto the stage, Uh-uh, hello everyone. I'm glad to see so many people who share the same views as us. Everyone knows that as a wizard We have powers like magic, and behind these powers, we need to accumulate enough knowledge. So we bring everyone together for the same purpose as what I wrote on the poster: whether it is a wizarding book or a muggle book, we will Read them to gain knowledge. Turn this knowledge into our strength through practice, and ultimately improve ourselves.”

Everyone present nodded in agreement. Because the previous poster specifically named the need to learn Muggle knowledge, so the people sitting here can at least not discriminate against Muggles. There was no displeasure at the mention of Muggle books in Hermione's speech.

I'll ask about that. Qiu raised his hand at this time, stood up after Hermione nodded and asked: The wizarding world is very peaceful now, I think it's enough to master the things that will be tested in class. Why do we still go Mastering the extended, possibly even dangerous, power of textbooks.

I'll answer this question. Ryan also stepped onto the podium. Number one, the wizarding world as a whole is peaceful, but you can't guarantee that you won't encounter any situation at all. Whether it's a first-year Quirrell or this year's Dementors, there are risks everywhere. We'd rather prepare in advance and not end up in the end. I can use it, but I can't really find out that I can't do anything when I encounter something.

Qiu nodded in agreement, and Ryan continued: Secondly, as a person who was not born in magic, I found that what determines a person's status in this magical world is whether they are strong or not. For example, our principal really The reason for becoming the leader of the British wizarding world is because he defeated the most powerful dark wizard Grindelwald. So in order to have a good future for everyone when they leave Hogwarts in the future, try to learn more knowledge It is necessary to strengthen one's own strength.

What's more, in the magical world, if we want to do the things we are interested in, we need to have enough power. For example, if we like herbal medicine, if we don't have enough power, it is impossible to get close to those dangerous high-level plants. Ryan At this time, I looked at Neville below.

For example, if you want to find magical animals that no one has seen before, I'm afraid you can't go deep into those dangerous places to find them if you don't have enough strength. Ryan saw that even Luna, who usually didn't care about many things, listened to the After saying this, they all nodded.

So. Lane concluded, The purpose of our organization of this book club is to allow everyone to learn together and exchange their mastery of knowledge, and finally transform knowledge into practice to improve everyone.
