Chapter 235 The aftermath of the Halloween event
Reports of the Hogwarts Halloween event hit the headlines of the Daily Prophet the next day.
With adult wizards in the British wizarding world once again bemoaning "why have I graduated" and "schools always make these interesting things after I graduate", this large-scale and generous Halloween event is inevitable spread to other countries.
Those adult wizards are okay, after all, they can't participate no matter what.
But the little wizards who are still in school are different.
They feel that if they transfer to Hogwarts, they can participate in these interesting activities.
So one by one started to fight wits and courage with the parents, trying to persuade them to agree to transfer to another school.
As a result, of course they were ruthlessly suppressed.
Parents: Do the brats think it's so easy to transfer schools?Three days without a roof tile!
But this hyped publicity report did bring a lot of students to Hogwarts——
In the following years, whenever young wizards were offered admission to Hogwarts and another wizarding school, they would not hesitate to choose Hogwarts and reject the other school.
Even some young wizards who hadn't received the admission notice from Hogwarts at all, their parents sent applications to Hogwarts one after another.
……
There was a suffocating silence in the Slytherin common room at this moment.
"Let's talk about it." Tom lazily leaned on the soft sofa, and said to the silent crowd.
Tom's tone was very normal, not a questioning tone, nor did it carry any irritation, but was as gentle as usual.
But everyone listened to it, but they didn't relax at all, instead their hearts hung high.
They would rather see Tom appear more violent and cruel than see his gentle face as usual now.
"Tell me what you think?"
Tom's hand rested naturally on the wide armrest of the sofa, and his white and slender fingers pressed the intricate patterns woven by gold silk.
The index finger fell rhythmically little by little, as if playing some soft rhythm.
Following his gentle questioning again, they felt as if their hearts were tightly held in his palms, and the blood vessels and meat membranes that throbbed with the beating of the heart were squeezed inch by inch, bringing a bone-chilling pain. Pain and haunting suffocation.
"Huh? No one speaks?"
Tom turned his head sideways, with doubts and troubles appearing between his brows, as if he was genuinely troubled that no one had come up with a solution.
"That's a pity." Tom sighed wistfully, stopping the movement of his fingertips.
"Ravenclaw is under our noses, has key information, and has a new clue to the founder's relic." Tom exclaimed with regret.
Every word in his words turned into a sharp knife, piercing the hearts of every Slytherin present.
Especially since they were just basking in the joy of "Slytherin's Halloween success".
As a result, this—the important information that Ravenclaw learned from Lord Barrow during the Halloween event, which greatly promoted their search for the founder’s relic—the news, slapped them with a backhand. smiling face.
It seems that they are particularly funny, embarrassed and pitiful.
"Before Ravenclaw makes further progress, I want to hear the news that the location of the Chamber of Secrets has been determined." Tom didn't give them time to swallow their own bitterness, and directly issued his own request, without considering that they could Can't do it.
Like a dictatorial tyrant.
I go my own way.
"Huh?" Because there was no response, Tom hummed a soft nasal sound with a soft tail.
"Can't you do it?" The long eyelashes were lifted, revealing dark eyes.
Tom's pupils were very black, like the thick night in a moonless and starless night, dark and hopeless.
Tom leaned against the soft sofa, his back was mostly sunken in, but he didn't look stooped, but looked lazy and dignified.
At first glance it looks like a lazy cat.
But as long as anyone meets his deep black pupils, they will immediately overthrow the delusion he just had.
Tom Gaunt is no harmless, well-behaved kitten.
"Yes, ahem... yes!"
Abugang uttered the first word with a trembling voice, and immediately realized that his tone was too frightened and weak, so he hurriedly pressed his throat and forced a few light coughs until he felt that his emotions had been adjusted Yes, and then I re-said the complete answer.
Abramovich's voice is like a tonic.
As he was the first to stand up and express his attitude, the rest followed suit and said that they could fulfill Tom's request.
just like……
With the first person taking the lead in making guarantees and attracting attention, all the responsibility falls on him, and the rest just follow suit like everyone else, and they don't have to bear the responsibility.
Tom looked at the people who were obviously shivering, and only glanced lightly.
Then, her thin lips parted slightly: "Then, please go ahead."
Tom's center of gravity is on his back, his elbows are on the armrest, his arms are stretched out, and his shoulders and forearms are in a "V" shape, which is an open posture.
Signaling them to go their own way—
It doesn't matter what method to use when you think of a way, as long as you can finally do what they promised.
------
Generally speaking, the admission list of magic schools is determined according to the geographical scope, as long as they are young wizards born in England, they can receive the admission notice of Hogwarts.
There are some young wizards with mixed blood from two or more countries who will receive admission notices from multiple magic schools. At this time, the young wizard can choose one to reply and agree, and the rest will reply to reject.
Those who have not received the admission notice of a certain magic school but really want to go to that school can enroll in the school of their choice through their own active application.
(Draco said in the original book that his father originally wanted him to go to Durmstrang, but Lucius abandoned this plan because Narcissa didn't want the child to be too far away from home.
The Malfoy family has been passed down on British soil for ten centuries. Draco obviously only receives applications for admission to Hogwarts, but he can choose Durmstrang to go to school.
So it can be concluded from this that the little wizard is allowed to apply for admission to the school that has not issued an application for admission, and the applied school can also accept the student for admission. )
