Chapter 17 Sprout’s Enlightenment
The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts this year is Lockhart.
Wrote a bunch of books for students to buy.
In addition, the dangers of the Forbidden Forest were reiterated just like last year, and no students were allowed to enter.
As Dumbledore started eating, the boring dinner began.
After eating in the canteen for a year, Lumi has put down his guard against them.
Although I eat very little each time, the taste is also very light.
The dinner ended with the noise of the little wizards. Just like last year, Lumi followed everyone back to Hufflepuff's dormitory.
After cleaning up the dormitory, the three roommates gathered together to discuss the new professor.
"You have no idea how hot Lockhart is."
The roommate said to Lumi: "I have every one of his books at home, and I find them wonderful every time I read them."
"I won't comment on his reputation, but his writing style is indeed good."
Lumi put forward his opinion very pertinently: "However, the method written in the book is too risky, and any mistake will lead to his immediate death."
"But isn't that what's great about him?"
The roommate, who is a fan of Lockhart's books, started an argument with Lumi, "He can save the day every time, right? He must be a super powerful wizard."
"I don't know if he's strong or not, but he doesn't give me a very good feeling."
Lumi was silent for a moment, then continued: "I didn't mean to slander him. I just simply felt that if I really walked with a werewolf, there would be many safe ways for me to avoid accidents. But his method would Let the unexpected happen and survive in the wild with dangerous creatures. Accident is definitely the most dangerous enemy.”
"But..."
Dang Dang Dang!
There was a knock on the door.
The prefect stood at the door and smiled at Lumi.
"Gu Lier, Professor Sprout is looking for you."
He looked at Lumi arguing with his roommate with great relief, "Let you go to her office."
"Thank you."
"It seems we can only come back and continue discussing Lockhart."
"If you still want to continue talking about him then."
After saying that, Lumi left the dormitory.
"Oh my gosh, if he hadn't kept his eyes on me, I would have thought he had been replaced."
The prefect patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
The three roommates nodded in sync.
“His cakes were always delicious.”
"Yes, but I'm more interested in his box."
"Prefect, can you believe it? Lumi's little box contains twelve small cakes, each one as if it had just been made."
At the mention of the small cakes, the roommates started drooling unconsciously.
"Is it really that delicious?"
The prefect thought for a while and continued: "But I think the newly opened cake shop in Diagon Alley is very good, but it's too expensive. A small cake actually costs one Galleung!"
"Oh no, you should really have a good relationship with Lumi earlier."
"His craftsmanship is not inferior to the one in Diagon Alley."
"But it's only today that Lumi will give us cake. Last year he wished he could stay far away from all of us."
Thank God, old Merlin finally put on his black stockings.
He still wore them together!
"what did you say?"
Lumi's eyes widened when he heard Professor Sprout's suggestion.
Last year we learned that Professor Sprout personally went to the trap door and started a fierce battle with Voldemort? He was seriously injured? But she insisted on avenging Lumi.
Anyway, this is what Lumi heard, and the authenticity needs to be verified.
Why would the seemingly gentle and gentle Dean confront Voldemort?
I'm sorry Lumi can't imagine that kind of scene.
But whether these words are true or false, it is an indisputable fact that Sprout went to the trap door for Lumi.
For this reason, Lumi was only 30% wary of Professor Sprout.
other people?
Except for Mag and Hagrid, everyone else is at 60%.
But now, Lumi had to raise Sprout's vigilance to 40%.
"I mean, do you want to try having a cake party in the break room?"
Sprout thought for a long time before finally finding a way to reverse Lumi's reputation.
"why?"
Lumi didn't understand, "Do you think I can only make cakes?"
"Oh no no no, Lumi."
Seeing the obvious wariness in Lumi's eyes, Sprout was a little hurt, but she still explained to him gently: "It's Harvey. I found that after eating your cake, your relationship with Harvey became very good. I just want to hold a cake party in Hufflepuff. This way, those kids will have a different view of you, and you don’t want to be alone all the time, right?”
"But I plan to take my time. Socializing with too many people at once makes me uncomfortable."
Lumi felt frightened at the thought that a large group of people might swarm towards him in the future.
"Listen, kid."
Sprout's expression was serious, "In Hufflepuff, you don't have to know how to cook, have bad grades, and often get deducted points...it doesn't matter. Hufflepuff is a big family, and everyone has their own skills and abilities. Things I’m not good at.”
"We are not like Gryffindor, who values house points so much. We are not like Slytherin, who value glory. We are not like Ravenclaw, who has too much study pressure."
"We are Hufflepuff, and we belong to the same big family. You can know nothing, or you can have nothing, but! Hufflepuff is never alone, and friendship is a must."
"Lumi, your requirements for friends are too high. I don't expect you to be someone everyone likes, but I hope you can be happy."
"When you were alone last year, did you feel envious of other people's friendship? Did you make wrong choices because you were wary of the outside world?"
When Sprout said these words, Lumi was also thinking.
He couldn't go on alone forever.
Friendship between people comes inexplicably.
Just like Harry last year, I just talked to him a few more words, bought things with him, and stayed in the same bar with him.
Does this make Harry feel like he is friends with him?
Even Ron.
Lumi could swear that he really only said a few words to Ron.
The only people talking on the train were Ron and Harry, and he didn't answer more than five sentences in total.
Just like that, Ron considered him a friend?
Are you kidding me?
"Professor, I'm confused."
Lumi told Professor Sprout about Harry and the others.
"The interaction between people is amazing."
Professor Sprout answered for him: "Maybe if you say thank you to a person today, he will come to talk to you tomorrow, and after a while, you will become friends."
"But that's not what Orientals say."
"The East has a different way of making friends than we do, Lumi."
"If you insist on looking for friends according to Eastern standards, I'm afraid you won't be able to make friends in this school."
"Try to relax your friendship conditions a little bit?"
