Vol 2 Chapter 1318: ?Poetry

On Christmas Eve, Floating City has fully entered the atmosphere of the Christmas season.
Most homes and shops put themselves in Christmas costumes. Several feet of snow covered the ground, and the surface of Black Lake was covered with hard ice. Thick ribbons made of holly and mistletoe are hung on the pillars of the Ravenclaw Temple. There are mysterious lights in every window, and there are some wizard versions that do not contain too much. Christmas carols with religious elements.
Only a few immigrants, such as Jewish wizards, who did not meet Christmas, did not close the shops in the commercial square area. They hired wizards from countries that also did not meet Christmas as clerk, and worked hard in the shop For those people who work during the Christmas holidays, the problem of eating is also solved in the restaurants opened by Asian wizards who are not used to the holidays.
Except for those few shops, the lively place on the commercial square is undoubtedly the Ravenclaw Temple.
The hall of the temple has not been decorated for festivals, only the huge statue of Rowena Ravenclaw in the empty hall that connects the indoor world and the five-headed dragon-shaped relief as her mount, together with the sermon. Both the table and the benches with blue cushions were wiped clean and fresh.
At the very top of the Ravenclaw Hall, similar to the Tribunal of the Ministry of Magic, there are many dementors floating at this time, those dementors controlled by Ravenclaw. However, unlike the Ministry of Magic, they are not acting as guards and executioners. Their role in the temple is more like some servants. They are responsible for the maintenance of the temple with the palms that seem to be rotten and additionally modified with lenses.
But today, they are restricted by the temple wizards. They can only hover around the top area like catkins-because once they fly down too close as usual, they have learned to converge, but those do not Guests who are accustomed to getting close to them will inevitably feel better or feel that they have lost their happiness, remembered some bad memories or terrible things.
Because the temple needs to maintain its sacred particularity, unlike the messy scenes where reporters wandered around at press conferences in the past, although some cameras were allowed to record the event in the temple, there was no cameraman behind the cameras who could do as usual. Can manipulate it at will, and put its lens on someone's face.
And the person in charge of this temple activity is Katie Bell, who has just graduated from Hogwarts and has already boarded the preaching stage. As the first and most loyal believer of Ravenclaw, she has become The number one sacrifice in the temple.
This witch from Gryffindor Academy who liked Quidditch as a chaser was the smallest member of the Quidditch team that Harry joined in his first grade. For the long-time player, she gave up the original goal of going to the Quidditch team, and even gave up the Gryffindor color dress. At this time, she was wearing a blue and bronze temple robe.
At this time, Katie looked solemn and majestic, and she couldn't see much youthfulness. She stood upright on the preaching platform, while four clergymen stood below to act as a guard of honor. The too respectful belief made her behavior and demeanor pull. Wenclaw approached-at least the Ravenclaw that outsiders knew.
And sitting in the front row and most important position of the hall of the temple, those dumb guns who were specially arranged here need to be transformed into wizards.
Filch wore a Hogwarts uniform and sat in the corner. He kept pressing his hands on his chest, restraining his nervousness. This made a temple attendant near him keep an eye on him for fear that he would faint. In the past-in addition to being old, because he was the first and most pious one, his prayers during this period have made those wizards who have believed in goddesses from the St. Mungo Hospital to see what fanaticism is.
Mr. Granger and Mrs. Crevat are both religiously placed in the middle of the left and right rows-as insiders, they certainly don't have to be like Filch, but they will inevitably take some casual responsibilities. And Petunia and Dudley were sitting beside Mr. Granger, and pure Muggle relatives like his husband Vernon were arranged to watch the ceremony in the back.
For Petunia, she has been disturbed by the magnificent fantasy of the magical world during this period. In a short time at Hogwarts, she learned of the magical world far beyond what her sister had described to her. The quality of life is also much better than they thought. Although her nephew and the murderer had a bad face, they were regarded as unpredictable hospitality, as well as those who were called golems by wizards and were regarded by her as "robots". Our service in place made her husband who had been chattering before coming to the magic world also closed his mouth and couldn't pick out any more thorns. What makes Penny really difficult to digest is that in addition to magic, there are real gods in this world, and it is this that allows them to have the opportunity to obtain magical power-these shock shocks and doubts make Penny During this period of time, the whole person was in a state of confusion like falling into a dream. She could only sit in a serious position like the other two Dursley father and son who had been shocked by everything in front of her and dare not speak any more. Let his breathing become rigid.
And this group of people who do not possess magic among the magical crowd can obviously attract people’s attention, because even the officials of the Ministry of Magic and even the directors of Harris only sat in the second and third rows-yes Many people recognized Filch, and some powerful wizards recognized the more famous Mr. Granger because of their business relationship with the umbrella, but this made them even more confused.
Katie Bell on the stage looked at the time, and then instead of using a magic wand, she used the gesture-casting skills of the Vagado wizards modified by Allen, and applied a voice like rubbing her throat. Hong Liang curse.
"Everyone, whether you are a believer of the goddess or not, the Ravenclaw Temple welcomes you on Christmas Eve." Katie's voice is clear and unresolved under the blessing of the curse and the internal results specially designed by the temple. As for the shocking people’s brains, her deliberately imitating poem-like tone made her sound so sacred, "Today the great goddess and her voters, UU reading www.uukanshu.com will bring us to the magic world. Here is a great gift... Now I will ask Mr. Alan Harris, the voter of the goddess, to explain to everyone."
Alan, who was already waiting behind the preaching stage, just wandered to the stage, Katie consciously retreated to a set, and her principal appeared in the most obvious position in the eyes of others.
"Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw and I have recently had some new ideas in the study of magic." Allen's eyes swept across the wizards present, and everyone seemed to intersect with his eyes for a moment. , His voice was also much slower than usual, "Those dumb believers who spontaneously and sincerely believe in Goddess Ravenclaw will receive a precious gift, and Goddess Ravenclaw will use her powers on them. The dumb believers who sincerely believe in the goddess Ravenclaw will be inspired by the magic in their blood... let them gain the spell-casting ability they should have, and become a wizard... and I will use my skills in alchemy and magic The small achievements in pharmacy, together with the goddess, enable these believers to successfully complete this divine transformation."
There was some understatement in Allen's tone, but he seemed to throw a thunderbolt in the crowd.
After the first brief silence, many people stood up directly from their seats without being polite. Some even suspected that their ears were misheard, and eagerly asked the people around them. This noisy sound was amplified under the structure of the temple, which made the temple look a bit noisy like the commercial plaza outside for the first time.
"I know everyone's excitement about this miracle of the goddess, but please restrain yourself...Let us witness with a pious heart..." Katie's voice of forcibly imitating poetry made the temple quiet and was invited The wizards who came over looked at the preaching stage without daring to come out.
