The restaurant of Hogwarts was filled with the aroma of food. Delicacies suddenly appeared on silver plates. Enjoying your favorite food and chatting with your friends, a beautiful day began with breakfast.
The rules of the school were much more detailed than before, but in fact, there was more freedom in the atmosphere.
In addition to maintaining their human forms, many students also maintained their animal forms to enjoy their food in the restaurant.
Relatively speaking, the Ravenclaw wizards were especially fond of doing this. They transformed into eagles and flew above the walls and ceilings. Some mischievously flew through the low dark clouds above the enchanted roof, causing the candles in the chandelier to flicker. Some of them hovered above the dining table for a while before flying out of the window with food baskets in their sharp claws and returning to their own towers. The convenience of traveling made it easier for them to take turns to bring food for their roommates. It was much easier than before when they had to take a few long detours.
In order to eat more, the Gryffindor students maintained their lion forms and did not go to the dining table. Instead, they lay on the ground and ate large portions of food in bowls. They had to prepare a magic potion for digestion in advance. Otherwise, Seamus Finegan's fate would be a warning to Allen a few days after his transformation.
After transforming into a lion, Seamus ate a lot of food without taking any medicine. As a result, his stomach exploded when he transformed back into his human form before entering the classroom. Food, intestines, and organs burst out everywhere. Fortunately, Professor Mag reacted quickly. He cast a spell to stuff his organs back, glued them back together, and cleaned him up.
The incident where someone almost died added another rule to the school's rules. Under such circumstances, one had to take medicine in advance before eating. Furthermore, Professor Mag had also issued a new Animagus warning for all the students.
However, the students of Slytherin and Hufflepuff mostly maintained their human forms. The Hufflepuff students felt that only in human form could they taste the delicious food, but they did not envy the Ravenclaw students. Although the Ravenclaw students only used their human forms to take food back to eat in human form, the little badgers thought that after the food was packed, the heat would cause water vapor to circulate inside the food, making everything taste like it had been steamed. The little snakes, on the other hand, thought that eating in animal form was degrading and not elegant enough. Of course, the Gryffindor mocked them for being unable to chew in snake form.
Generally speaking, Animagus was no longer an extremely difficult skill. After Allen publicly announced all the techniques before Wagardo, wizards all over the world benefited from it. Many wizards had already developed new Animagus potions based on the published formulas. In a few years' time, Animagus would become as popular as Phantom Transfiguration. After all, the only difficulty now was to keep the leaves in one's mouth for a month and wait for stormy weather.
The young wizards were chatting happily. Although their schoolwork was more substantial now, their life after school was also much richer. Due to the rapid innovation of wizard alchemy under the effect of energy nuclei, there were more new gadgets emerging in this period of time than in the past few decades. Magical Muggle items were already in the hands of wizards, such as a Walkman that could listen to music at any time without affecting others as it did in the past, or a game console that would not be damaged in high-magic areas in the hands of wizards who were born with Muggle backgrounds. On the other side of the long table in Slytherin, Draco was fiddling with a laptop that looked as thick as a suitcase. He was playing a TV series on a triangular disc for Emily and her followers. The wizard TV in the cafeteria, which had a larger screen, was no more attractive to others at this time.
Hearing that Malfoy was still showing off to the other onlookers that he got the laptop before it was on the market, Ron took a big bite of the sausage and muttered discontentedly, "I played much earlier than him. I helped my dad test it on the weekend before, but unfortunately, my mother insisted on not allowing me to bring it to school … She said it would affect my studies … She may think that this thing will make me fall to the last place in the grade."
"Dean got a game console in the lounge. In the past, during the summer vacation, if it rained and Dali didn't have an appointment with his friends, I would play with him for a while. But if I beat him, I couldn't play …" Before Harry could finish, Jenny beside him held his hand and comforted him.
"It's okay, Jenny. Dali is not as bad as I thought. Of course, he's not so good that I want to see him again next summer …" Harry put the newspaper in his hand on the table and pointed at the breakfast menu with his wand. "Bacon, soy sauce with tomato sauce, Danish rolls, oatmeal, and breakfast tea."
"Harry, we don't have next summer vacation either." Ron grabbed a beef sandwich as soon as he finished eating the sausage. The food placed in front of him was twice as much as Harry. "I'll miss the food here, especially this semester … We have to graduate right after the reform, so we didn't get much benefit … My family is rich now, but my mother continues to make sandwiches with canned corned beef that I hate …"
"Ron, if we go to college, we will still have a summer vacation." Lavender Brown was sitting next to him. He didn't care about his own food and spread butter on Ron's bread. "And we don't have to live in the dormitory. We can rent a house in the university area. Angelina Johnson chose to go to college again. I met her at Mrs. Morkin's clothing store the other day when she was buying Quidditch protective gear. She told me that Dumbledore's new house is not far from the hotel she is renting now … He seems to have a broken arm."
"Hermione, Sirius … Uh …" Harry noticed that Hermione seemed to be in a bad mood with years of tacit understanding. He made his tone sound more cautious. "Hermione, I mean, Sirius told me that Allen seems to be helping Dumbledore to make a prosthetic arm. Do you know what the situation is?"
"That depends on Dr. Ross Geller of the Golem Workshop." Hermione responded and buried her head in her breakfast.
Harry didn't dare to continue asking. He looked at the teacher's seat that belonged to the principal. It was empty. "It seems that Allen won't come to school today …"
"I thought you should be used to it, Harry." Xi Mo was cutting the food into bite-sized pieces. Since his stomach exploded last time, he was obviously more careful. "Speaking of which, Dumbledore was often not in school before. Speaking of which, Allen often criticized Dumbledore because of this … As a result, he spends even less time in school now than Dumbledore. I almost don't see him."
"There are so many things going on this year. Why don't you watch TV?" Hermione stabbed her fork into the roasted tomato. "Also, our classes haven't been delayed … Xi Mo, or do you think that Allen can give you more homework when he comes back?"
"Oh … Sorry! Hermione! I was just saying … "Xi Mo begged for forgiveness." I don't have anything against Allen. My mother has found a job that can be related to my Muggle Daddy's work. It's not easy … "
"Speaking of Dumbledore … Grindelwald was poisoned and hospitalized …" Neville said in surprise. He met Harry's puzzled gaze and pointed at the newspaper. There was a photo of Grindelwald in an abnormal situation. He looked weak as he walked into the Hogwarts Magic Hospital accompanied by the Ministry of Magic's minister, Owen.
"Why isn't there any news from the Prophet's Daily?" Harry flipped open the newspaper in his hand and found that this newspaper with a larger circulation did not mention this situation.
Hermione, who looked gloomy today, frowned even more when she heard the news. She glanced at the newspaper in Neville's hand uncomfortably and found that it was a business of a pureblood family. She stretched her head stiffly to read the content and shouted angrily, "Nonsense! Grindelwald is just …" She paused and explained to the other Gryffindor who were attracted by her shouting, "Mr. Grindelwald is just old and has some discomfort in his stomach …"
"Apart from the daily prophet and the dissenters, these tabloids don't seem to have any credibility. Why is it all lies …" Neville was a little angry when he heard Hermione's explanation. He tore the newspaper apart and threw it away. "My uncle forced me to subscribe to this …"
Flegg said angrily, "These newspapers were attacking the Umbrella Society with great fanfare, saying that Harris did it for money, but Allen has the Sorcerer's Stone …"
"By the way, speaking of stomachaches …" Jenny curiously moved closer to Hermione. "… Hermione, Luna hasn't come to school for a long time. Although she often has stomachaches, it can't be that long, right? Where did she go? "
"I didn't see her either, but don't worry. Allen said her life is not in danger." Hermione tried to cover up for Luna, but she also had some doubts in her heart. In her impression, Luna was not a diligent person. She didn't look like the kind of person who didn't even come home to eat because of some research.
