Mentor and Friends

Tom ultimately failed to figure out why Harry defended Irene.

In his opinion, this is more than a dozen incredible things. Harry is actually a very fair person. When he treats students, he will treat students equally. He will understand many things that happen before he can solve them.

But Tom also knows that Harry is a very persistent person. He has a protective attitude towards the people he likes. People who are not familiar with him may not be able to see it, but Tom knows that he will never be wrong.

However, he still didn't understand how this Irene could make Harry, who had never seen her before, subconsciously defend her.

Until nearly October, when representatives of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons were coming, he could not figure out what was going on.

Slughorn appeared in the auditorium more often this semester, and now because of Irene's arrival, his favorite in the magic and medicine class has changed.

During this time, one of Slughorn's favorite things to do when eating in the auditorium was to show off how outstanding Irene was in Potions class or something.

Unlike Roy, although Irene may only have outstanding grades in potions, she can't resist the support of the Prince family behind her. Although they don't pay much attention to girls, for the sake of the family's face, wait until Irene graduates Afterwards, they will surely arrange a decent job for her too until she gets married.

Maybe Roy needs to work hard for a few years to get the status, but now Irene doesn't have to worry about it.

Slughorn took that seriously.

He likes outstanding students, and he prefers promising students.

And Irene happened to occupy both of these, so besides praising Tom, the one who nagged the most in Slughorn now was Irene.

It was probably a kind of showing off.Harry listened to Slughorn's words, and thought helplessly that when he was in the sixth grade, Slughorn also used this tone of introducing the baby to introduce the people participating in the banquet. He knew it all too well. situation.

On the other hand, Irene who was sitting at the long table in Slytherin, even though Slughorn praised her voice could spread throughout the auditorium these days, she still ate her lunch so calmly, and waited for the others to put down the tableware. , Follow them back to the lounge.

As if it wasn't her that Slughorn was showing off.

What a strange girl.

Harry thought helplessly in his heart.

Just like Roy, they don't fit in well, they don't care what they say, and people who don't know think that these two people are from the same family.

Tom also started to get busy during this period.

He got the badge of the boy student council president during the summer vacation, no matter how lazy he was some time ago, but in the week before the representatives from other schools are coming, it is absolutely impossible for him to be idle again.

So Harry watched with a smile every time Tom wanted to ask him something, but in a blink of an eye he was entangled by others and then gradually left.

Let's hope Tom doesn't die of exhaustion - the heartless thought of someone who's been slacking off since school started.

At the end of October, when the headmaster finally announced that representatives from the other two schools were coming in the evening, Harry came to the Gryffindor common room in the evening, and a group of children stared at him with glowing eyes, making him retreat uncomfortably. took a step.

"Are you..." He twitched the corners of his mouth and asked uncomfortably.

"Professor," the children were very happy to see him coming, "we are waiting for you to take us to meet the representatives of the other two schools."

They cheerfully welcomed representatives from other schools.

It turned out to be for this matter.Harry chuckled, "No rush."

"Oh, our dear professor." In less than a month, the children have gotten along well with Harry. They like this professor who is not a few years older than them. When he is with him, there is always a feeling of being both a teacher and a friend. "You It can't be like this, do you know how much we hope to welcome our guests from afar as soon as possible?"

"I'm afraid that the cold wind outside will welcome you before you have time to say welcome." Harry waved his wand, and a strong wind blew up the originally warm lounge instantly, causing the children to scream.

"Oh no, Merlin, it's really cold." The children cried out.

"This is the temperature outside in the near future. It is estimated that there are still three to four hours before the representatives of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will arrive here. How many hours are you sure you will blow the cold wind?" Although it is autumn now, but at night Even if the temperature drops, the temperature will drop. "Of course, if you really think that you really want to see them as soon as possible, I don't mind letting you go there now."

The children looked at each other, then shook their heads violently.

Although there is a heat preservation spell or something, who would do such a stupid thing of standing in the cold wind for hours?

Gryffindor is impulsive, but that doesn't mean he's really stupid.

"Oh, Professor," several students who are usually more active rubbed up to Harry's side, "we would rather stay here, I mean, we want to show them our best side, instead of being blown around in the cold wind The bad hairstyle, I feel horrible when I think about that situation." The other party shuddered, "So, dear professor, we are not in such a hurry to receive them."

Harry patted his head, he shrank his head, and walked obediently to the sofa.

"Okay, although there are still a few hours before their arrival, there are some things I have to tell you in advance," Harry looked at these children and smiled gently, maybe it was because he was a Gryffindor himself, No matter how big the change was, it still couldn't erase his affection for Gryffindor, "First of all, no pranks are allowed."

"Oh..." The bolder students wailed immediately, "Professor, we live by this."

"I don't mind if you play pranks in another place," Harry was not annoyed, but suggested with a smile, "For example, in the Forbidden Forest, there are centaur people there, and other creatures provide you with pranks."

"Merlin, professor, do you really want me to never return?" The other party immediately jumped up, "Who would be so bold to play a prank on a horseman?"

"Then there is no way," Harry shrugged regretfully, "Durmstrang was established in Germany, don't you know that the teaching of black magic is not banned in this school, if you make them angry, which professor I can't help you." Harry threatened them, "As for Beauxbatons, I got the news that all the girls here this time, as a gentleman, how can you do things to the ladies?"

The children were taken aback by Harry's words.

"The second point is politeness. You need to maintain basic politeness. Although I don't like to use Slytherin's etiquette to restrain you, I have to say that this is to welcome foreign guests. You have to know that you represent not only It's Gryffindor, and it's Hogwarts, don't you hope that the influence you leave on others in the future is that you have no manners at all?" He couldn't ask the children to learn Slytherin's crooked way of speaking, but he At least they can be required to maintain some basic etiquette, instead of rampaging all day long.

"It's just too hard," said the children distressedly.

"Believe me, after you get used to it, you will do better than anyone else." Harry said confidently, "Okay, the last point is that during the Triwizard Tournament, they will take classes with us. How will it be arranged? The principal has not given me a clear answer, but I can vaguely guess that different children should be assigned to different colleges to study with us. The students in the seventh grade stayed here all year because of the competition and did not review. You know, after the seventh grade is the graduation exam, which is not a school tradition in Hogwarts. "So, what should you do? I should know it myself."

Harry looked at the group of children meaningfully.

As for the group of children who already understood "what should be done and what should not be done" after Harry finished speaking, they fell down on the sofa in dejection.

"You guys..." Harry said helplessly to this group of children, "It is said that in the last competition school, they did a lot of things to welcome the students from the other two schools, and one of them was to quickly master it within a year. Basic English grammar, when our representative teaches students to go there, they can communicate with our students freely, I haven't asked you to master German and French, you can't do such a simple thing? "

He seemed to sigh in disappointment, this time it was terrible, this group of children looked at their professors and thought that they couldn't do little things, the previous decadence was swept away, and they promised Harry again and again Absolutely absolutely can do what Harry asked.

"Of course I believe what you say." Harry tricked these children with a half-smile, "but as for your willpower, I really can't guarantee it."

"Oh, if I break the rules, I will be fined to write papers twice as long as others." For children who are not interested in learning, this punishment is quite severe.

So Harry was satisfied, and said a few more words of encouragement, among which he accidentally added some requirements, but the children who didn't want to be seen clearly by their headmaster didn't notice, so they kept agreeing, and waited until they came back to their senses. Only then did I realize that I had agreed to so many "unequal treaties".

So when the other three houses finally expected the arrival of the Gryffindor students, they saw a group of listless children with drooping heads.

"What's wrong with them?" Ron asked Harry strangely.

Harry smiled purely: "It's okay, they just waited for so long and didn't have dinner, and they are a little lacking in energy."

"Oh..." Ron expressed his understanding, he nodded without saying anything.

Harry came almost on pinch, and within five minutes of arriving with the Gryffindors, Durmstrang's representative arrived.

A minute later, Harry looked at the middle-aged man who came down from the boat and rolled his eyes helplessly.

This guy, do you want to be so blatant?In case others don't know, the Dark Lord decided to come to England to play, right?
