The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Chapter 16 Yingyuan who loves mathematics

Robert was extremely satisfied when he saw the expressions on the freshmen's faces: "I see." As a Ravenclaw, he enjoyed the pleasure of sharing knowledge.

"Okay, let's eat quickly."

The plates in front of them were suddenly piled high with food: roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausages, steaks, boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, potato chips, Yorkshire puddings, pea shoots, carrots, gravy, tomatoes. sauce, and even peppermint hard candies.

Although the method is simple, just grill, smoke, pickle, and fry all kinds of meat before serving it, it is already very rich in British cuisine.

Tom took a few pieces of roast beef, a few sausages and bread, and started to feast. The other little wizards were obviously very hungry. They all stretched their knives and forks to the plate in front of them to get their favorite food. The food seems to be endless, and even if the plate is empty, it will be filled in the next second.

Not many people spoke during the first half of the banquet, everyone was concentrating on eating. After everyone had filled their bellies, the rest of the food disappeared from the plates all at once - even if some of the food on the plates had only been touched once or twice. But no little wizard has ever considered where the food comes from and where it goes.

The plates and forks became as shiny as ever. After a while, the desserts came: ice cream of various flavors, apple tart, jam cake, chocolate sponge cake, fried jam donut, wine-soaked jam pudding, strawberry, jelly, rice pudding...

Only then did everyone feel like chatting.

"There are so many things to learn, and I am particularly interested in transfiguration. You know, it should be very difficult to change one thing into another thing -"

"You should start with something small, like turning a match into a needle or something—"

This is Hermione sharing her experience in transfiguration with her senior sister.

But more people are discussing family background.

"My parents are both Muggles, and I was originally going to Eton." Tom heard a boy with curly hair saying loudly at the Hufflepuff table next door.

Everyone just ate, drank and chatted, and the relationship quickly became closer.

Finally, when the desserts disappeared, Professor Dumbledore stood up again, and everyone fell silent to listen to him.

"Before everyone gets sleepy, I want to tell you a few more things to note. First-year students, please note that students are not allowed to enter the woods on campus. Old students should also remember this. Secondly, Mr. Filch, the administrator, also I would like to remind everyone not to cast magic in the corridors between classes. Recruitment of Quidditch players from each college will be held in the second week of this semester. Students who are interested in joining the college varsity team please contact Mrs. Huo Qi. Finally, I must Let me tell you, if you don’t want to encounter an accident and die a painful death, please do not enter the corridor on the right on the fourth floor.”

Dumbledore had finished what he wanted to say, and then he blinked and said loudly: "Before everyone goes to bed, let us sing the school song together!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the smiles of other teachers froze. If there is anything that Hogwarts cannot compare to other schools, it must be the school song - of course, the subsidies for students are not as high as Beauxbatons. Newt Scamander, an outstanding graduate of Hogwarts, was once bullied by a pair of sisters from Ilvermorny during the school song.

The song sounded in a strange tune:

Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts!

Please teach us that whether we are a bald old man or a child with a broken knee, our minds can accept some interesting things.

Because now our minds are empty and full of air, dead flies and trivial matters.

Teach us some valuable knowledge and give us back what we have forgotten.

You just need to do your best and leave the rest to us. We will study hard until we turn into dirt.

The lyrics are actually pretty good, but the key is the accompaniment. Professor Dumbledore chose "Funeral March"...

Judging from everyone's reaction, the little wizards at Hogwarts are really not interested in their school song. Everyone sang it in a mixed manner. Only the Weasley twins sang the whole song, and Professor Dumbledore also kept singing. Directing for two people, highlighting one. As long as I am not embarrassed, the other person will be embarrassed.

After the song was sung, Professor Dumbledore announced that the opening banquet was over, and the prefects of each college took the students back to their dormitories to go to bed. Prefect Robert, who had just done a science popularization with the freshmen, stood up and asked all the freshmen to follow him. He was going to take them to the Ravenclaw common room.

He did not call the new students anxiously like Percy, the Gryffindor prefect, and then squeezed out of the auditorium in a hurry. Instead, he asked the new students to gather in a row and make sure that everyone was there before following the flow of people. Exit the densely congested exit.

The new Ravenclaw student followed Robert out of the dining hall and up the marble stairs. It was strange to watch the people in the portraits in the corridor pointing at them and whispering to them as they passed by. Prefect Robert obviously knows many secret passages and shortcuts in the school. Many times, he can remove the seemingly ordinary barriers and curtains in one go, revealing the portal behind them.

Finally, they reached a tower of the castle, and a spiral staircase appeared in front of them.

The stairs are so steep that turning to the back makes you dizzy. What finally appeared in front of the freshmen was a wooden door without a handle. The door was a bare board with no handle or keyhole, just an eagle-shaped bronze knocker.

Prefect Robert stretched out his left hand and knocked lightly on the door. The eagle's beak on the door knocker immediately opened, and a gentle, musical voice came out: "There are 98 students in Ravenclaw and Slytherin." There are 6 more people in Slytherin than Ravenclaw. How many people are there in each house?"

Tom:? ? ?

Doesn’t this knocker just ask some philosophical questions? How come you have such in-depth research on mathematics?

Hermione looked thoughtful.

Robert Hilliard showed a cheerful smile: "It is very simple to enter the Ravenclaw lounge. We never use passwords. We only need to answer a question on the door knocker. As long as you can answer it correctly, even people from the outer courtyard can You can enter."

"This is why Ravenclaw is better at thinking than the other three houses." He said seriously to the freshmen, "You try to answer this question. Arithmetic is also very important, especially for those who want to study in the third grade. Students who take arithmetic and divination as an elective. It can be considered a test for you. If you can’t answer the questions on weekdays, you can only wait outside for others to take you in.”

"I think there are 52 people in Slytherin and 46 people in Ravenclaw." Tom had already calculated the answer in his mind.

"Correct." After the voice said, the door opened.
