Chapter 2792 The Sun in the Water (4)

In the new school year, Emily Taylor comes to school again.

At the teachers' table at the opening ceremony, Pomona looked at Emily sitting on the Gryffindor table with a loss of appetite. She was able to eat calmly and completely regardless of the surrounding atmosphere.

Others will more or less focus on Slughorn's position when eating. That place has now been replaced by the "new person", and he is another person who can eat calmly at this time.

The new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor sat next to Felicity. The two of them were busy talking and barely ate. Albus and Minerva toasted together to celebrate Hagrid's appointment as the forest guard and sat down with the teacher.

Even though he was sitting very far back at the table, Hagrid also raised the glass of wine in his hand in response.

In short, the opening ceremony and the sorting ceremony ended peacefully. Except for a boy named Quirrell who was wearing the sorting hat and fell before sitting on the chair and being sorted into Ravenclaw, there was also a boy named Nymphadora.

Tonks's disguised Animagus, her hair kept changing colors before she was sorted into Hufflepuff, and everything else was normal. There was also Phoebe, who cut her hair during the summer vacation

, so that people can easily distinguish her from her twin sister Joy.

No matter how similar they are, there will always be differences, even if they do not experience interstellar travel, forming the twin fallacy. Although in theory the twin who went to Proxima Centauri is younger than the one on Earth, he also missed a lot, and returned to Earth

He has become a stranger since then.

After washing, Pomona lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling of the four-poster bed in a daze.

After Snape defeated Slughorn with an explosive potion, Pomona appeared in front of him in his true form, but he was not happy to see him again after a long absence.

His eyes were dull black and there was no expression on his face. They didn't even speak to each other since then.

There is also the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Richard Carter. He once studied at Gryffindor House in the 1960s. After graduation, he became a staff member of the Goblin Liaison Office and later became a genealogist. Due to his role in the mysterious

During the reign of Man, he went abroad for "adventures" and was said to have killed a manticore with his bare hands. He only recently returned home.

In fact, everyone knows that if a direct member of a family dies, the side branch can inherit the direct inheritance if there is a genealogy to follow. Just like the current Black family is a side branch in the 19th century, not A

A direct descendant of Themisia Black.

As long as there are heirs, goblins cannot regard the things in the vault as their own. Richard Carter's profession would originally be very annoying to goblins, but Richard has a way to make goblins "happy".

The mysterious talent does not care whether the goblin is happy or not, as long as a pure-blood family asks him for help, he will "help" and force the goblin to hand over the key to the vault.

As the activities of Death Eaters and dark magic are increasingly declining, eradicating all kinds of dark magic creatures recruited by Death Eaters has become a new goal of the Ministry of Magic, among which the Werewolf Capture Team is the most important.

At first, the Ministry of Magic did not know that Greyback was a werewolf. He claimed to be a Muggle tramp. Coupled with the fact that Greyback had dirty clothes and no wand, it was enough to make the two overworked and ignorant of Muggles.

The members of the interrogation committee believed what Greyback said. But Lyall Lupine noticed some details. He had a Muggle wife and was not ignorant about Muggles, so he told the committee to imprison Greyback until the next one.

The full moon ends.

But just 24 hours later, Lyle was laughed at by his colleagues on the committee, and the usually mild-mannered Lyle became angry...

Anyway, the principal warned the freshmen not to go to the Forbidden Forest at the opening ceremony. In such a dazed situation, she fell asleep with her head full of chaotic thoughts.

As a normal human being, Slughorn prefers to live in a house with sunshine. His goal is the office of Professor Dorothy, the last Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who has taught for many years. Her bedroom is not only magnificent, but also far away.

The classroom is very close.

But his actual residence is in the old Potions classroom near the library. Before the 19th century, Potions classes at Hogwarts were held on the ground. Natural light would shine in from the windows, allowing the potion makers to

People can accurately tell whether the color of the medicine meets the requirements in the book.

Due to an accident, a violent explosion occurred in the Potions classroom. Although no one was injured, some people were worried that the potions would harm the books in the library, so the Potions classroom was moved to the dungeon.

Snape's residence and office were moved to the Potions classroom next to the Slytherin lounge, and his chemistry equipment that was originally placed in the hospital wing was also moved there.

Compared to Slughorn, he was really on call. But after he became a professor, he was constantly deducted points, even Hufflepuff was deducted.

"At first Snape said he would deduct five points, but Sylvia said, 'It's okay, it's not a lot,' and then he deducted ten points." Pomona's prefect said with a frown. "He stood on the podium.

On the side, Sylvia whispered from the last row, how could he hear it?"

Pomona thought it was okay. Benaby Lee from Ravenclaw was deducted 20 points for learning wolf howl in Potions class, but compared with the points deducted from Gryffindor, these were a small number.

Two points will be deducted for not closing the classroom door properly, three points will be deducted for cutting the herbs into different sizes, two points will be deducted for not washing the flask, and two points will be deducted for someone waving a wand looking stupid.

The Slytherins smiled triumphantly when they saw this scene, which "matched" Gryffindor's furious expression.

But the "good show" is yet to come.

Richard Carter served as the Quidditch captain when he was in school. He organized the Gryffindor students and planned to give Slytherin a good "test" in the Quidditch match.

The school is not allowed to use magic on classmates. In the past, the boys of Barnaby and Gryffindor used bats for their "competition", but in Quidditch, one can go on a rampage. One of the purposes of the medical wing is to treat injured athletes.

So the most important Quidditch players in the college also surrounded the new dean. Although Pomona had never seen Snape interested in Quidditch, the game between Slytherin and Gryffindor

It’s becoming more and more “attractive”.

Hufflepuff values ​​getting along with others more than winning or losing. Pomona couldn't remember which book it was written in, but it probably said something like this. Goodwill may be insignificant, but it has amazing power, enough to change us, and even

More powerful than any technology.

We are living in an ice age. This coldness does not refer to the temperature, but to the indifference between people. It almost started with the industrial revolution and continues to the present, making today's world broken and shallow.

Maybe in the eyes of some people, only those who don't have the courage of Gryffindor, the wisdom of Ravenclaw and the shrewdness of Slytherin will go to Hufflepuff, but Hufflepuff is not a garbage dump.

After a summer vacation, no one cared much about the events of the previous school year. It was just that the freshmen always stayed in groups wherever they went, and would never be alone like Phoebe.

Try to keep the peace and avoid conflicts as much as possible, although this characteristic sometimes seems to be a disadvantage.

"Dean!"

Pomona turned around and saw that it was Hagrid. He was carrying a large wooden bucket filled with sticky liquid.

"Going to deliver Frobe slime to the Potions classroom again?" Pomona asked.

"Of course." Hagrid said happily, "I just said that the insects would be useful to raise."

In fact, no one thinks that bug is of any use, even though it is one of the few creatures that can be summoned with a wand.

Pomona fried it and left it on the table without anyone eating it. Only Snape thought its slime could be used to brew potions, so Hagrid sent it over every now and then.

"Next time you see a unicorn grinding its horn, remember to collect some of that powder." Pomona looked up and said to Hagrid.

"Of course, I remember it!" Hagrid said happily, then hummed and walked towards the potions classroom.

Maybe it feels bad to be taken advantage of, but the feeling of being made to feel worthless may be even worse.

Pomona scratched the back of her head. Severus hadn't eaten in the school hall for a long time. How could she stop him from eating out?
