Hogwarts becomes host

45. About rumors



Time flies so fast, two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Halloween is coming, which makes water friends who are tired of the regular and peaceful campus life very excited, looking forward to seeing how scary the mountain monster with the danger level xxxx is, but the changed interpersonal relationships make the audience very confused.

The admonishment that night had a great effect on Ron, Neville, Hermione, and Harry:

Neville worked harder than usual, but his talent seemed to limit his development and he always failed to achieve good results. Fortunately, with the help of Hermione, he finally earned his first score in the Herbology class.

For the first time, Neville got something substantial through his hard work. This made Neville almost cry with joy. After class, he came to thank Elaine and Hermione immediately, and wrote a letter to his grandma. Although the Potions class that followed He was immediately deducted 20 points by Snape.

Regardless, it's always a good start.

And Harry, not sure whether it was because of the preaching or because his attention was completely absorbed by flying, he and Elaine slowly grew apart.

After receiving the Nimbus 2000 from Professor McGonagall, Harry joined the Quidditch team. Quidditch practice three days a week greatly reduced the time he had to do homework. When he returned to the common room, he was not busy doing homework. Just rest.

He never asked Elaine about his parents again, but Ron said he wrote to Bathilda, received a reply, and cried when he read it for the first time.

Hermione tried to change her attitude, but it was too difficult, so she learned to explain her intentions and apologize for disturbing the person.

This flattered all the Gryffindor students, and even changed their views on Hermione.

Even Lavender, who couldn't stand Hermione the most, didn't complain to Parvati anymore.

What confuses Elaine even more is that Ron and Hermione actually get along well now.

Ron tried to learn after being read aloud, but he couldn't find a good instructor. At this time, Neville pulled Hermione over who had been helping him with tutoring, and the three of them immediately reached a consensus.

Although the two would occasionally be mad at each other, they would soon reconcile. When Ron succeeded in getting Flitwick's praise in the Charms class, he even attributed this to Hermione's guidance and began to have fun with his friends.

Because of this, more Gryffindor freshmen gave their homework to Hermione to check, and those who did so got high marks. Hermione also said that coaching others was a better review, and everyone was very happy.

So, the threat of Hermione being locked in the bathroom with a troll on Halloween is resolved.

This made many viewers dissatisfied, and even asked Elaine to go and play with the trolls. Elaine naturally ignored this, why didn't she go to Quirrell for a duel?

Elaine herself, after two months of living, she seemed to have adapted to skirts and menstrual periods. At least she didn't lose control when relatives came for the second time.

Or maybe she had already vented all the accumulated emotions the first time.

Life has to go on, otherwise what else can we do?

Now Elaine's life basically consists of classrooms, dormitories, Slughorn's office and library, and occasionally visiting the Room of Requirement.

It was too calm and made the audience unmotivated.

The Room of Requirement is not that magical. The mobile phone or computer it conjures is just a fake. Even if it can reproduce the comics or ── content that Elaine has read, it is limited by impressions and memories.

For example, in the final battle chapter of One Piece, there were large tear stains that blurred the pages, leaving Elaine speechless.

Now Elaine mainly uses it to copy piano scores. She is doing her homework next to her and letting Nott hold the piano scores and copy them, which is perfect.

In the monotonous campus life, the only thing that can stir up waves are all kinds of strange rumors.

Everyone has been tired of hearing the exaggerated claims that Elaine wants to inherit the Dark Lord, conquer the world, and overturn the Wizarding Secrecy Law.

Later, rumors began to spread that Elaine was having an affair with her roommate. In fact, it was for both men and women. Rumors that she was beaten because of her multiple legs, and that she always slipped out of bed with her girlfriend at night and kissed and made out all over the campus. This made everyone They all cast strange glances at Elaine.

Maybe the students at Hogwarts are just too bored.

If the initial rumors could still make people irritated, this wave of rumors completely mistargets the target.

Faced with the facts, Elaine was indifferent, but Hermione and Lavender were extra affected and became "scandalous girlfriends", which also attracted the attention of a large number of students. Until one day the twins took the opportunity to stir up trouble and made Elaine sing a love song. To the "beloved girlfriend".

So, Elaine sang Adele's "Soon Like You" in front of the public.

Because of the opening lyrics "that you found a girl and youre rried no", rumors spread the next day that Hermione dumped Elaine and dated Lavender. Miss Granger was so angry that she pulled out her wand and shouted at her as soon as she returned to the lounge. Elaine shouted the tarantella and had her dance in the Gryffindor common room for a full ten minutes.

Recently, the gossip about Elaine has gradually subsided, and new gossip has begun to spread, such as Seamus making everything around him explode, Peeves flooding the boys' toilet on the first floor and swimming in it, and Barbie teaching ancient runes. Professor Bulling has a boyfriend

Anyway, for first-year freshmen who can’t go to Hogsmeade and don’t have much leisure and entertainment, rumors are also an indispensable way of entertainment. George and Fred even proudly admit that they occasionally make up some rumors. See if any idiot dumber than a troll falls for it.

"We made up a rumor about a treasure last year, and asked Slytherin's idiot Chaser to run into the basement where Professor Sprout cultivated the devil's net." George said nostalgically, while Fred laughed loudly. laugh.

"Yes, the devil's net tore his clothes, and he ran out of the door naked. That made us laugh for three days."

After hearing these stories, the first year Gryffindor finally learned the skill of ignoring rumors.

But Elaine couldn't ignore one of the rumors. It said that Daphne was isolated from Slytherin House, and some senior Slytherin students were very dissatisfied with her and were ready to punish her.

"That's impossible." Hermione pointed to the Slytherin table, where Daphne was sitting with several Slytherin girls, chatting friendly. "You see, she's not isolated."

"But she really doesn't come to our place much recently." Ron stuffed his mouth full of mashed potatoes and said inarticulately.

"Swallow it before you speak - she is a Slytherin and should not have come to us in the first place."

"But she is also our friend."

"You don't need to come here every day if you are a friend. Parvati doesn't even go to Ravenclaw every day to find her sister."

"Okay, I just think this is very deliberate. There must be someone behind the scenes to make sure I can hear." Elaine hit her temple with a headache, "How could Slytherin's internal affairs be spread to the entire castle? It must be Someone from their college deliberately spread the news."

"Well, but what's the use of spreading this?" Hermione asked puzzledly, "Anyone with eyes will know it just by looking at it."

"Yes." Elaine lowered his head and said nothing. Although Hermione said this, he still decided to do what the barrage suggested and let Nott follow Daphne.

Anyway, she rarely uses Nott now. The house elves spend most of their time idle and on standby. If something happens, Slughorn can be notified in time to come to the rescue.
