The opening ceremony is boring, even in the magic world.

After fifteen minutes of the opening ceremony, William deeply realized the true meaning of this life.

The only person in this world who is happy with the opening ceremony is the parents who don’t have to attend.

No, maybe William, a minor wizard who had been holding it all summer vacation, saw with his own eyes that some students secretly took out their wands and tried to cast spells on the table. It was probably because they were so tired of holding it all summer vacation.

"Think about it carefully, is there part of the reason why summer spells are prohibited to prevent students from resisting the start of school?"

It's terrible to think about it carefully.

William glanced at the students boredly - it was not how unsociable he was, but because Lockhart wanted to show himself too much, which led to the professors who were pulled over by Lockhart.

It would be better if it were a Hogwarts graduate. Recalling the past time can always raise common topics, but should William share with these professors the daily life of Azkaban?

As for Lockhart, he didn't know that he was disliked and pulled Professor Pomona Sproulau, the dean of Hufflepuff next to him, and kept boasting about the unique plants in the United States he had seen. The enthusiastic professor's face turned angry, but Lockhart still spoke eloquently.

Just as William was watching the students' farces with nothing, a professor suddenly left the chair. She pulled the chair as lightly as possible and moved the position next to William.

"Professor William, let me disturb you a little."

The middle-aged witch had a sorry expression on her face, but her eyes were stubborn and told William that if she couldn't get the answer this time, she would come next time.

"Please sit down, who are you?"

“Keridi Bubaji, professor of Muggle Studies.”

She introduced herself in a gentle tone - a course that William didn't know.

"Sorry, I know my question is a bit too presumptuous, especially for a stranger, but this question has bothered me for a long enough time that I can't wait to get the answer to this question right away."

She took out her wand and slid it quietly.

"I promise that the wizards present, including Dumbledore, could not hear the conversation that follows."

"Professor William, sorry, how do the people in Azkaban see Muggles?"

The problem is indeed as sharp as she said in advance.

"Sorry, Professor Bubaji, I'm not willing to talk to people about what's going on there."

William decisively rejected her - this response was obviously not within the professor's consideration, and her eyes instantly became confused.

"I'm sorry, I'm too anxious-" Professor Bubaji came to his senses and apologized in a hurry, almost rushing to move his chair back to his original position.

William knew that half of the other party's actions were out of kindness - the new professor had to be someone to make a match to integrate into the circle of the elderly. After she and William had finished communicating, most professors could naturally accept William, rather than like now, because Lockhart liked to show off too much, which led to William, who was pulled by him, being excluded.

Unfortunately, doing research always gives William a strange feeling - probably because of Azkaban's sequelae. He always feels that letting others study him is like being surrounded by a dementor in a cell to eat a self-service buffet.

He could easily joke with Old Tom about Azkaban, or complain about the ghost place with Hager, but when someone asked him on his own, he immediately felt extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the freshman finally started the branch office under the leadership of Professor McGonagall, which made the professors present excited and swept away the awkward atmosphere just now.

———

The first-year freshmen lined up in a row, and stood in front of all the senior students under the leadership of Professor McGonagall. His expression was stiff and his face was pale. He didn't look like he came to the branch office, but he looked like he was here to fight.

William was stunned for a moment - why, did the Hogwarts branch want the students to put down their wands and fight each other?

So, according to the discrimination chains about the four Hogwarts academy in prison, it should be that they fought fiercely to go to Gryffindor, hid and waited for the fight to go to Ravenclaw, used money to buy the opponents to go to Slytherin, and the rest to go to Hufflepuff?

Thinking of this, William couldn't help but laugh.

Then, the laughter seemed to be contagious, and the professor on the entire table couldn't hold it in and laughed like a little.

Lockhart showed his teeth again.

"Haha, so many years have passed, and the rules of the school have not changed?"

No professor took his words.

Lockhart had to find William and said with a show of flaunting: "Hogwarts has a rule that the matters about the branch are not allowed to be revealed to the children who have not entered school. Everyone will make up various excuses to deceive the children. I guess most of the students below think that the branch needs a fight."

Who thought of such a boring rule?

Also, generations of persistence are just to see first-grade students worrying over there?

Well, it looks great indeed-William has to admit it.

Especially after Lockhart's explanation, this matter became even more disgusting.

Just as Lockhart explained, Professor McGonagall gently placed a four-legged stool in front of the first-year freshman, and then carried a pointed wizard hat and placed it on the stool.

I don’t know how long ago the old hat with patches was, it was ragged and looked like it was even lost in the value of cleaning.

While William was waiting for Lockhart to show off his sexual commentary, the torn hat suddenly started singing at the top of his throat.

The singing was unpleasant and out of tune. When William frowned and listened, he found that many professors used magic to block their ears.

I'm careless.

William suddenly regretted his stupidity when he saw Lockhart beside him.

He didn't understand Hogwarts' routine, but the professors around him understood. When they encountered something new, they could just look at them, and there would be no mistakes.

The audience burst into applause after the song of the branch hat ended, as if in this way, they celebrated that their ears were finally relieved, and the singing hat also bowed to the surroundings after the applause.

After applause, Professor McGonagall walked to the location of the branch hat with a piece of parchment.

"Whoever I call my name now will put on a hat and sit on a stool, and Xinhou Branch."

The professor said loudly, then raised the parchment and pronounced the first name:

"Hannah Aibo!"

The audience suddenly became quiet, and William saw that everyone on the table at Hufflepuff turned his neck towards someone on the table.

Even Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, and carefully looked at the parchment.

"Sorry, because something happened today, I brought my list from last year."
Chapter completed!
