Under Cassandra's Queen-like aura, everyone compromised and started brainstorming.
"How about calling it the Little Order of the Phoenix?" Harry suggested tentatively.
As soon as Harry finished speaking, Hermione held her forehead, Neville sighed, and Draco's expression changed.
Cassandra pointed at Draco and couldn't help but complain: "Why don't you call him little Death Eater."
Harry's face flushed, but Cassandra didn't let him go. "Don't mention stupid names like after-school tutoring group, magic exchange group, or study club. It's embarrassing to say them."
This time, not only Harry lowered his head, but also Hermione and Neville. God has mercy on them, these were the first names that popped into their minds just now, and now that Cassandra has revealed them in advance, they are almost digging their toes out of the three-bedroom and one-living-room house.
Cassandra then ignored the three people and looked at Draco, the meaning in her eyes was very clear: "It's your turn."
Draco, who was named, took a long time to come up with the word "Riddle's Army".
Hearing this name, Harry, who was originally embarrassed, burst out laughing: "It might as well be called Dumbledore's Army."
Harry's sneer made Draco unwilling to speak, so the question was thrown back to Cassandra.
Facing this group of talented people, Cassandra suddenly felt that she was so out of place and regretted her suggestion so much that she almost cried.
Under the gaze of four people and eight eyes, Cassandra pondered for a while and said, "How about Stargazer?"
"Pa pa pa…" As soon as Cassandra finished speaking, warm applause broke out in the classroom.
Cassandra was very upset. She felt bad as she watched the people's style become more and more biased.
After deciding on the official name, the few people began to discuss the organization's charter, the process of joining the organization, the emblem and the slogan with great interest. Even Hermione, the best of the best, seemed to have forgotten the existence of the homework.
As the initiator, Cassandra, who once again felt that her painting style was out of place, wanted Tom to be there to take charge for the first time.
"A-choo!"
"I always feel like there are villains out to harm me again!"
Tom, who was far away in the lounge, couldn't help sneezing, rubbed his nose, and felt a sense of foreboding in his heart.
It was almost Halloween when Tom attended the rally again.
When he was brought to the Room of Requirement by Cassandra, he was completely confused: "Why come to the Room of Requirement?"
"This is the new meeting place. The old one is not big enough." Cassandra explained as she took out a badge and handed it to Tom.
Tom took it and looked at it carefully: a round badge with a gold base color, a seven-pointed star pattern in the middle, and the word "stargazer" engraved in cursive at the bottom.
"What is this, a stargazer? And there are only six people in the after-school study group, so how come there is not enough space?" Tom felt that he had just not participated in it for a while, so why did the world seem so strange?
Cassandra patiently explained to Tom as always: "Ah, that's because the number of people attending the gatherings has increased a lot over the past month, so I provided the Room of Requirement. To enter the gathering place, you need to silently recite Stargazer in your heart. By the way, Stargazer is the official name of our study group."
"Uh... who came up with the name Stargazer?" Tom felt that the name didn't seem right.
"I chose it. What do you think? It's pretty good, isn't it?" Cassandra admitted decisively, looking proud.
Tom finally remembered why he felt something was wrong: "Do you like a mobile suit numbered GSX-401FW, 18 meters tall and named Gundam?"
Cassandra felt that every word that came out of Tom's mouth was so strange, and asked back with a puzzled look: "Please say it again."
Tom shook his head, no longer dwelling on the topic, and allowed Cassandra to lead him into the room.
As soon as Tom stepped into the room, he saw twice as many little wizards as at the beginning, working in groups of three or four, discussing their lessons or practicing magic.
Slytherin: Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, Blaise Zabini, Theodore Nott, Daphne Greengrass.
Hermione Granger of Ravenclaw, Padma Patil, Michael Corner, Terry Boot, Anthony Goldstein.
Neville Longbottom, Ernie Macmillan, Hannah Abbott, Justin Finch-Fletchley of Hufflepuff.
Harry Potter and Parvati Patil of Gryffindor.
"Why isn't Ron here? Harry didn't call him. And why are there so few Gryffindors?" Tom noticed something was wrong and quietly asked Cassandra beside him.
"Harry called, not only Weasley, but also Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan from Gryffindor. Unfortunately, except for Parvati, no one from Gryffindor passed the test."
"There are assessments? How come I didn't know that?" Tom felt that this after-school tutoring study group he organized was becoming unrecognizable.
In response to Tom's question, Cassandra explained in detail the current process of joining Stargazer: "It was Hermione's suggestion. Originally, everyone wanted to invite acquaintances and friends to join, but Hermione felt that Stargazer should not expand barbarically without order, so she set a threshold. Currently, only invited first-year students are allowed to participate."
"Except for the initial six, all students who want to join need to take a unified assessment. The test paper is set by Hermione. To be honest, the test paper set by Hermione is really difficult. It is almost at the level of the first-year final exam."
"First-year final exam level? You must be kidding. It's only been less than three months since school started, how did they pass it?" Tom had a look of disbelief on his face. He would never believe that everyone in Hogwarts would be a paper ace like Hermione.
"Of course we informed them of the key points of the written test in advance, and we had a week to prepare. But for Gryffindor, it is clear that taking risks is more important than studying. They were almost wiped out. For example, Parvati barely passed the test with the help of her sister. As for the group of Gryffindor boys, their scores were basically in the single digits."
Cassandra thought of the Gryffindor lion's grades and couldn't help but smile. "Tell me, there are so many outstanding seniors in Gryffindor, why is this class like this?"
Thinking about how this group of people had done so much quietly without his knowledge, he rubbed his brows and asked, "Tell me, what else have you done that I don't know about? Tell me all at once."
Cassandra didn't want to hide her intentions from Tom, so she explained everything in detail: "The current assembly time is every afternoon after school, and anyone can attend. The content of the assembly is still mainly about learning and mutual assistance. Of course, if there is any intelligence or mission that needs to be exchanged and commissioned, it can also be raised at the assembly."
"In addition, Draco and Hermione have also found a way to create a magical contract that every student who joins must sign, mainly to prevent the leakage of Stargazer's internal confidential information."
Cassandra paused for a moment and continued, "As for this badge, it is both a proof of membership and a tool for communication in case of important gatherings."
"Our slogan is what you keep saying: 'Make Hogwarts Great Again!'"
"Finally, and most importantly, the person in charge of Stargazer is you, Tom Riddle."
"Why!"
After listening to Cassandra's introduction, Tom couldn't help but sigh. He thought she was just setting up a study group to build good relationships with classmates, but she didn't expect that the style was getting more and more like a secret organization.
He couldn't understand how things had come to this point.
