Chapter 193 The new teacher
Chapter 193 New Teacher
Harry descended the marble stairs and returned to the Great Hall.
The auditorium was a sea of pointed black hats, and every long academic table was filled with students, their faces illuminated by thousands of candles floating above the tables.
Professor Flitwick, the Charms teacher, a little wizard with white hair, walked out of the auditorium holding an old hat and a stool.
Hermione quickly caught up.
"I also want to see the sorting ceremony." She was a little regretful.
Hermione's hand touched her chest many times, as if there was something hidden there.
They took their seats and many freshmen looked at Harry secretly.
If they thought that Harry, the hero, was a gentle and upright person who was admirable, they would be disappointed when they approached Harry with admiration on his face.
The principal began to speak. Dumbledore, whose silver-white hair and beard were several feet long, wore half-moon glasses and had a particularly crooked nose, said with a smile: "Welcome back to Hogwarts. According to
As usual, I will take some time to talk to you about a few things, one of which is very important."
Dumbledore cleared his throat and said: "Our school currently welcomes several dementors from Azkaban. They are sent by the Ministry of Magic to perform official duties. You must already know this, because they are very important to Huo Huo."
The Gwarts Express conducted a 'search' and I hope I didn't leave some bad impressions on you, especially the new students."
"There are a lot of them, stationed at every entrance of the school, and there are many dementors wandering in the sky." Dumbledore continued, "I must make it clear that when they are there, no one is allowed to leave the school without permission.
Dementors will not understand excuses and begging for mercy, so I would like to remind everyone here, especially the first-year freshmen, that I can understand your novelty when you first come into contact with magic and your curiosity about everything, but don't give them a reason to hurt you."
Everyone looked at the serious Dumbledore, and no one in the auditorium moved or made a sound.
He said easily: "But don't worry, I will ask the Ministry of Magic to send these annoying guys back to Azkaban as soon as possible. Next, I will introduce to you our two new teachers."
"First of all, it's Professor Lupine. At my invitation, he agreed to fill the vacancy in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class."
The applause was muted, and the Slytherins were even more disdainful of Lupine. His shabby and patched robes made them laugh at him as the poorest professor in Hogwarts.
The other teachers were all wearing their best robes, and Professor Lupine looked even more ragged sitting next to them.
Professor Snape stared at Lupin, with a twitching expression on his thin, yellow face. It was not anger, but simply hatred.
Harry sighed silently, there was another pair of difficult enemies.
"As for our second new teacher, I'm sorry to tell you that our Care of Magical Creatures teacher, Professor Kettleburn, retired at the end of last term, however, I'm pleased to announce that his post will be filled soon.
It was none other than Rubeus Hagrid, who agreed to accept the teaching post in addition to his duties as gamekeeper."
In the last semester, Harry's evidence fully proved that Hagrid was wronged and had nothing to do with the Chamber of Secrets. Naturally, the Ministry of Magic would not ban Hagrid from using the wand. At the same time, Dumbledore fully confirmed that Voldemort had made Horcruxes. That diary
It was by no means a simple memory, it was an independent soul. Before that, he had only suspected it. He was eager to cover it up back then.
The former headmaster of Hogwarts who was involved in the Chamber of Secrets incident used Hagrid as a scapegoat and was expelled. Unfortunately, he is already dead. Otherwise, I don’t know if his conscience would be condemned, but I guess not... As for the Ministry of Magic forty years ago
The wrong decision was made. He only informed Hagrid with a document that he could use his wand, and then there was no other expression, haha...
But Hagrid was as happy as a child getting candy...
The applause that Hagrid received was many times louder than that of Lupin. Except for the group of Slytherin students who stared at the air and turned their eyes upward forever, the students from the other three houses did not dislike Hagrid.
Because Hagrid has a good reputation, when Filch was here, many punishments were to help Hagrid deal with some things. They could feel Hagrid's kindness and sincerity, although they were intimidated by his huge body at first.
.
Hagrid's face turned red and he looked down at his big hands. His big smile was hidden behind his unkempt and tangled black beard. Hagrid quietly wiped his eyes with the tablecloth.
"By the way, because of Filch's departure, the school has found a new administrator, but don't worry, she won't punish you too much like Filch did. She is a very kind lady, and she will have enough
I will use her patience to deal with the mistakes you have made. I hope that under her guidance, you will become more mature. Because she is
She has something to do, so she can't attend tonight's banquet, and it may take a few days to arrive at the school. In addition, I think some of the school's rules should have changed, so the prohibition of using magic in the corridors can be removed.
I wish you have a good time, but if the school is damaged, you will have to pay compensation..."
The students were stunned for a moment, cheered, the glass almost shattered, and there were even whistles. They probably didn't hear Dumbledore's last words clearly.
The freshmen looked on in confusion as the seniors, who were tall, mighty and mysterious in their hearts, cheered and high-fived with excitement.
We don’t know anything and we don’t dare to ask.
I had no choice but to clap obediently.
A senior boy excitedly hugged a freshman next to him and said, "Merlin, you really don't know how lucky you are..."
The two looked at each other.
After confirming the eyes, I met the right person...
This is Britain, the most "passionate" country.
"Okay, there are so many important things." Dumbledore said, "Let's have a banquet!"
The golden plates and goblets in front of them suddenly appeared full of food and drinks, a delicious feast, and the auditorium echoed with laughter and the sound of clinking knives and forks.
People ignore the unhappiness of encountering the dementors not long ago and the irritability in the heart caused by the gloomy weather.
After finishing the meal, the students left one after another and prepared to go back to the dormitories of various colleges to rest.
The first-grade students were led by their prefects to avoid getting lost on the spiral staircase.
"Harry, thank you." Hagrid's eyes were still red: "It was you who helped me, and Dumbledore, who was actually willing to let me teach you as a teacher... I... I'm just worried about whether I will be able to teach you tomorrow."
Things will go wrong... This is my first time as a teacher..."
Hagrid is actually very immature mentally. He has few friends and is just a small child.
Harry comforted: "Don't worry, you will definitely be a good Care of Magical Creatures teacher, and no one will think you are not doing well."
He glanced vaguely at Slytherin.
