Chapter 22 Gu Lier’s Banquet
The relaxed mood always disappeared quickly, just like the white calf socks that Merlin couldn't find.
Pushing open the door of the auditorium, Lumi walked in with a straight face.
Everyone is looking at him.
The originally chaotic auditorium was now extremely quiet.
The quiet atmosphere made Lumi feel very uncomfortable, so he suppressed his anxiety and tried to look the same as usual.
"Harassing Mr. Zhang."
Luna's voice was as ethereal as an elf in Norse mythology. She stood up and waved hello to Lumi.
Hearing this, Lumi felt a lot more relaxed.
She's still the same as before, which is great.
The calm was broken.
"Oh! It's Gu Lier who drove away Lockhart!"
"I came to Hogwarts to study magic."
"I'm not here to be your fan."
"Your class is a waste of time."
Cheers, whistles, and the bumbling improvisations of the Weasley twins.
These were mixed together, making Lumi's head confused.
There was even a little blond boy taking a picture of Lumi.
Apparently, the flash from his camera almost blinded Lumi.
The little wizards had already arrived at Lumi's side, chattering and asking him where he was, how he dared to go against Lockhart, and how he got Lockhart out of school.
Faced with these questions, Lumi forced a smile and looked for the blond girl in the crowd.
Found it quickly.
She sat on the long Ravenclaw table, head tilted.
The distance was not close, but Lumi could tell that she was smiling.
Looking at her smile, Lumi's uneasy heart seemed to be soothed and he slowly calmed down.
The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and his mood became better and better.
"Lumi!"
Malfoy hugged Lumi's shoulders and said loudly: "It's my dad. I told my dad what Lumi said. My dad found out the disguise of the great liar Lockhart and used his power as a school director to let him He got out of Hogwarts."
"Oh!!"
The Slytherin table burst into warm applause.
"Gu Lier! Gu Lier!"
"Malfoy! Malfoy!"
For a moment, these two voices were the only ones left in the auditorium.
The excitement in the auditorium also reached its peak at this moment.
As Dumbledore tapped the cup, everyone's enthusiasm slowly subsided.
Most people had a favorable impression of Lumi and Draco who had cleared Lockhart.
Even Harry and Ron, who had always struggled with the two of them, applauded.
Without him, Lockhart forced students to buy his books, which was a huge expense for the financially strapped Weasley family.
Fortunately, Lockhart has been arrested, otherwise who knows whether he will write a few more books at Hogwarts and then force everyone to buy them.
And as Lumi said, Lockhart's level is really low.
Others who had taken Lockhart's class had a simple assessment of him.
Rubbish!
The content of his class is to brag and promote books.
In terms of academic performance alone, he was even inferior to Quirrell.
At least when school starts, Quirrell will read them books that are at least related to Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Many people have written down Lumi's words and regarded one of them as a creed.
Of course, what is being circulated now is after several versions.
The dinner ended in a relaxed atmosphere.
The prefects took the reluctant freshmen back to the lounges of their respective colleges.
When the freshmen from the other three houses looked at Hufflepuff, they showed no signs of envy in their eyes.
In the Hufflepuff common room, Lumi listened to them repeating their own quotes over and over again, and an emotion called embarrassment slowly came up.
It was as if Merlin had found his calf socks and happily put them on.
When everyone's emotions were at their highest, Lumi took out Sprout's approval note.
"Everyone!"
Lumi stood up on the table so that he could be as tall as the seniors.
"Professor Sprout allowed me to have a cake party this Saturday."
Lumi's voice gradually became louder as he spoke, "If anyone wants to participate, please come here at six o'clock on Saturday night."
"I will prepare cakes for you, and you can tell me in advance what you want to eat. I will listen to your suggestions, of course, on the premise that I can do it."
After saying that, Lumi looked at them nervously.
"Guller Pastry Shop!"
“I’ve been wanting to try it since last year.”
"It's a pity that Lumi was so lonely last year."
"I eat it once a year and my mouth is watering just thinking about it."
"Harvey! None of you three touched the latest dessert! Did you eat it beforehand?"
"Ahem, it's not that we don't eat. It's just that this doesn't mean it will be like this. There is nothing to say for sure..."
The reactions of the three Harveys spoke volumes.
The level of bullshit is too low.
The next moment, Lumi was almost buried under the enthusiastic registration and ordering.
At the same time, there were also funny screams from the Harvey trio.
It wasn't until the two prefects came forward that they calmed down the enthusiastic little badgers and allowed them to return to the dormitory.
Lumi was finally saved.
He returned to his dormitory and started thinking about Saturday's party.
The enthusiasm of his classmates made him take this party very seriously.
At the same time, he can also feel the warmth of his classmates.
Last year, I went to study magic with Voldemort every week, and every time I would go back to the dormitory just before curfew.
I spend my free time in the library and dormitory every day.
Lumi's activity routes are very limited, and the only ones that overlap with them are classrooms and dormitories.
Lumi also ate very quickly when eating in the auditorium, and immediately returned to the dormitory after eating. This made the little badgers have no choice but to return in vain even if they wanted to establish a good relationship with him.
According to Harvey and the others, Lumi would study with a book every day when he returned to the dormitory, and would only go to the library in his free time.
This made them wonder if the Sorting Hat was broken.
This is obviously a Ravenclaw.
During that time, Lumi urgently needed a lot of magic knowledge and used this knowledge to derive counter-spells.
And last year he was very wary of anyone and would not deliberately contact them. Even if he met them, he would walk around.
This led to his nickname.
A snake in badger skin.
The news that came out today made all Hufflepuffs think that he was still a Gryffindor.
Fighting against the professor in class is something only a brave lion can do.
Until he proposed a cake party.
This group of little badgers who love good food are looking forward to Saturday.
The test of whether he is a proper Hufflepuff will come at Saturday's party.
Since the party was held in the Hufflepuff Common Room, the little badgers were proud to show off to other houses.
Some children from pure-blood families know secrets that others don't.
The cake shop in Diagon Alley is Lumi's property, and it has been booming for more than a year.
Even foreign wizards came here because of its reputation, which indeed attracted more gold galleons to the shops in Diagon Alley.
Therefore, the little wizards who learned the inside story looked at Hufflepuff not very kindly.
You have Lumi, so you can eat delicious cakes for free, right?
We have Hermione, who is number one in the school, and Harry Potter, our savior.
We also have Malfoy.
We in Ravenclaw also have a bunch of cute school girls, beautiful school girls, and even beautiful Chinese people.
Who can't compare with whom? Really.
Of course, these words are purely the little wizards lying to themselves.
The little wizards began to feel jealous again when they thought that the yellow and black badgers would soon be able to taste delicious food.
Since that day, little wizards from other colleges have been coming to Lumi.
Ask him if they can come to the party too.
In this regard, Lumi was happy but could only appease their emotions.
"I need to ask Professor Sprout about this."
This sentence is a mountain that stands in the way of little wizards.
But no one ever loses the courage to challenge the mountains.
Not to mention the gentlest mountain?
