HP Peter Can't Be That Cute

Chapter 121 Exchange Students

Soon, the news that Hogwarts was going to join forces with other magic schools to carry out educational reforms spread throughout the wizarding world, and it seemed that everyone was paying close attention to this matter.

Because the headlines of major newspapers the next day were all about Riddle and the Ministry of Magic's Education Department's speech, the ceiling of the restaurant was unusually lively in the morning. Everyone received letters from home, which seemed to want to tell them some news, which was very important.

And Newt had already told Alaiya about the progress of the matter.

"So what you mean is that Riddle is persuading magic schools to unite and hold academic exchange seminars? They want to exchange professors?" Aleyya was still asleep, or perhaps she was a little confused by Riddle's actions.

"No, it's an exchange student..." Newt said this in a low and mysterious voice, which excited everyone who heard it.

"You mean we can make an exchange... um..." Before James could finish his excited words, his mouth was covered by Sirius beside him. "Shh James, this is still a secret!"

"That's right. Only a few people know about it now. No one knows how to implement it." Newt was also very nervous. If Peter was chosen, how could he follow her? Would Dumbledore allow him to leave temporarily?

"I think there should be no problem. That guy (Riddle) is not someone who will give up easily, but he did a good thing this time!" Sirius knew Riddle very well, but he guessed wrongly why Riddle made such a plan.

Sirius and even most of the magic thought that this was a means for Riddle to demonstrate his influence, but only Alayya guessed that this might be a legitimate opportunity for Riddle to take her away.

Everybody was talking about it, and some even organized themselves actively, studying foreign languages ​​hard after class in an effort to get selected as an exchange student at their favorite school.

Alayya was relaxed. She had already accepted her fate. Even if she went to the moon, there would always be one or two people following her.

I didn't expect things to develop so quickly. After the Potions class that day, Professor Horn mysteriously called away several students, including Snape, Lily Evans, James Sirius and others.

Only Peter was not there, and everyone was surprised. However, Newt, who had been attending the class as an auditor, seemed to know something and quickly took Peter away.

Before they parted, Sirius stopped Peter and comforted him, "You can go to the restaurant and wait for us. It's probably about the Slug Club again. We won't be attending that party anyway."

"That's right, we'll be back soon!" James shook his hair in a pretentious manner and winked at Peter. Lupin also nodded at her from a distance.

That's right, except for Peter, they are all Professor Horn's "favorite disciples". His favorite thing is to gather these capable or well-connected children and have them all join his Slug Club to help him increase his reputation.

The Slug Club often organized parties, but because Peter could not be invited to the parties, James and his friends never participated. Only Lily Evans and Snape would occasionally attend.

But this time the news they received was that Riddle's reform of wizarding education will start with exchange students. Through the progress and insights of exchange students, the teaching ability of each school will be strengthened, or something will be improved.

Professor Horn, who knew the news early on, privately revealed that he would recommend them to try to be exchange students.

"Where's Peter? We are all going to America as exchange students, what about Peter?" For the first time, James felt that the situation was not so fun. If Peter was not there, how could they be called robbers?

"Well... classmate Peter... maybe next time, he will have a chance." Professor Horn has always understood that there is an inseparable relationship between them and Peter, but due to his selfish motives, he is more satisfied with the performance of several other people, and the people he can nominate are limited.

He was also worried that Peter would bring shame to Hogwarts if he went to an American magic school, so he did not choose Peter. Of course, if he knew that the adult planned this event just for Peter, he would definitely send Peter there as soon as possible.

But now, everyone was thinking hard about how to comfort Peter, and everyone except Newt showed a mask of pain.

For Newt, it was great that Peter was not chosen as an exchange student. Those guys who always followed Peter would not disturb their dates. Or maybe Peter was the only friend in the whole Hogwarts...

Therefore, it was difficult for Newt to calm down. He took Peter's hand and offered her a butter beer, and asked her to go outside the school. "Don't be angry if you know about this. It's actually fine if you don't go. You can come with me... to welcome the birth of the little unicorn..."

"What? Where to?" Alaiya was confused by Newt, but she intuitively felt that he seemed very happy, embarrassed and conflicted.

“It’s just… just now… about… the transfer student…” Newt hoped Peter wouldn’t be sad. “Actually – there’s nothing to do. The schoolwork is so heavy right now, and you’re about to… take the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination, so you need to be more…”

Before Newt could finish his reasoning, Alaia already understood that Newt wanted to comfort her. She hadn't said she wanted to be an exchange student. What if she was assigned to a magic school in Africa? Alaia was terrified at the thought, so she decided to forget it.

"I'm fine... Don't worry, I know my ability is not enough to support the facade of Hogwarts, I will continue to work hard." Alaiya began to comfort Newt, poor Newt was about to eat the beer cup in his hand...

"That's good... That's good'..." Newt felt that the future days would be very beautiful after hearing this. He and Peter would go to class, do homework, and have meals together, hehehe...

The list of names was soon announced, and their names were all there, except Peter's. Just when James, Sirius and others were making a scene in Headmaster Dumbledore's office because Peter could not participate in the exchange activity.

A letter of recommendation from Riddle put Peter's name at the top of the exchange student list, and Alayya became one of the exchange students going to the American magic school.

Alayya was also confused when she heard the news, because it was Professor Horn who told her in person, or he came to apologize. He held the parchment scroll in both hands and handed it to Alayya with trepidation and said, "I didn't expect that Peter and Tom have such a close relationship. I knew you two would be good friends..." He no longer had the dignity he used to have in front of Peter.
