(small xmas gift 1/4 chapters today)
Seeing that the faces of several people were not right.
Lucas turned to look at the others again and saw that everyone in the common room looked unhappy.
"The ball was canceled?"
"That's not exactly true."
Eli McMillan replied.
"It's just that something like this happened, and everyone is not interested."
As soon as Eli finished speaking, Draco continued.
"The prefect just informed us that no student is allowed to leave the dormitory of their house without authorization tonight."
"In other words, none of the friends we invited to the ball can come, so who is interested in attending the ball?"
Draco's tone was full of complaints.
Only then did Lucas understand why everyone looked unhappy.
He heard that someone had been preparing for this ball for more than a month.
But now the people they invited can't come, which is really disappointing.
Lucas went to sit on the sofa in the middle of the room while Draco and others also sat around him.
Others surrounded several people in the middle.
"Don't be depressed, everyone. We will live in Hogwarts for several years in the future. The ball can be held at any time, right?"
Lucas had just finished speaking when Pansy Parkinson's haughty voice came from the side.
"Although what you said is correct, our preparations for so many days can't be in vain, right? For today, I asked my family to send all the most beautiful and expensive dresses."
As Pansy's good friend, Daphne Greengrass nodded quickly.
"That's right, I wrote letters to show off in front of my sister for a long time, now I'm going to be laughed at by that little girl."
Apart from the two of them.
Others more or less have some reasons of their own.
Lucas seems to have become the object of everyone's confidance as if they expected him to solve all of their problems.
Waiting until all the complaints are over.
He smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do about it, and we can't reason with idiots like trolls."
"The professors are also thinking about our safety. What if there is another one outside? Let's wait for the professors to deal with everything before talking about the ball."
"There might be another one? Merlin, what is Dumbledore doing? Why are there trolls in the school?"
Draco Malfoy said in disbelief.
"Did he use Hogwarts as a playground for monsters? It's too much!"
"Draco, calm down!" to appease the other party's emotions.
Lucas looked at everyone curiously: "Such a big incident happened, have you sent a letter to your family to report that you are safe?"
Pansy and the others blinked and shook their heads neatly.
Draco frowned slightly and said, "Why do we need to tell our family about such a small matter."
"Wow! Our little Draco has finally grown up and stopped looking for daddy!"
Faced with Lucas' teasing, Draco became furious.
But before he could speak, Lucas continued.
"But ah, you should find your father this time, shouldn't you?"
Seeing Lucas' meaningful eyes Draco frowned.
Obviously, Lucas's words have other meanings.
As a Slytherin, even if he is always mixed with lions, it can't change the Slytherin characteristics of Draco.
He just thought for a moment before he understood what Lucas meant.
Not only him, but the other little snakes also suddenly realized.
Everyone looked at each other, and immediately got up and went back to the room to write letters to their families.
Lucas smiled, got up and said to the rest.
"Tomorrow is our first Quidditch match of the semester with Gryffindor, everyone rest early."
After saying that, he walked to his dormitory.
After making sure that Lucas was gone, several other grade chiefs got together.
Second year Chief Eli McMillan was the first to ask, "What do you guys think?"
Payne Travers said with great interest: "It seems that our first year chief is planning something. As his seniors, we should help."
"I'm going to let the guys in the sixth grade recall the things they used to do when they were young, and write to their parents to complain!"
After finishing speaking, Payne walked into the boys' dormitory.
Several other people looked at each other and smiled, and soon left the common room.
...
Lucas returned to the room and immediately locked the door before throwing himself on the soft bed.
He looked at the virtual platinum prize pool in front of him and said, "System, use all my achievement points to draw the platinum prize pool."
[It is detected that the host has a total of 20100 achievement points, the platinum prize pool is 200 achievement points each draw, and a total of 100 lottery draws can be made. Are you sure you want to proceed?]
"yes use them all!"
The voice just fell and a dazzling light appeared in front of Lucas' eyes.
Because there were too many draws, he couldn't even open his eyes from the brilliance of the rewards at all levels.
Fortunately, it all was over soon.
Immediately afterwards.
A system beep sounded in Lucas' ear.
[The lottery draw is over, and this lottery draw has won: 45 bronze rewards, 33 silver rewards, 18 gold rewards, and 4 platinum rewards.]
[Because there are too many rewards, the system will integrate and display duplicate rewards for you.]
[Bronze rewards received this time: 17 prizes of Golden Galleons, total amount: 1420; three Halloween-limited wizard hats; eight kinds of Honeydukes candies; one popular game console; six trendy men's wizard robes; rue essence Three bottles; Mandrake leaf *7]
