PS: Last month's 2000 monthly pass was added.

Without a doubt, it was the worst Halloween Jon had ever had in his years at Hogwarts.

Due to the flight of Professor Alastor Moody, there is no holiday spirit at all on campus.

Moreover, the vast majority of students do not agree with the statement given by the Ministry of Magic that "Mad-Eye Moody is a Death Eater".

"My grandmother wrote to me!" "Neville Longbottom shouted at the Halloween dinner, "Even if the entire Ministry of Magic had taken over to the Mystic and become a Death Eater, Alastor Moody would still be on the opposite side of the Mystery!"

That night, poor Neville was called to her office by Umbridge...... Then, in the middle of the night, dragging bloody hands, he returned to the Gryffindor common room.

"Use some white, Neville ......," Hermione said to Neville with a sympathetic expression.

There are not a few students who share Neville-Longbottom's views, Gryffindor or other houses, but they don't have the courage of Neville.

......

Professor Dolores Umbridge has already received that "Merlin Medal of the First Degree".

She now pins the gold medal engraved with the letter M to her collar every day as she walks around campus...... Jon doubted that she would even be willing to wear the medal on her face if she allowed it.

The position of the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher has been vacant these days.

The relevant courses have also been suspended for several days, so that everyone has a few more classes off.

The students are debating who will hold the position.

Earlier in the hallway, Jon had overheard a conversation between Umbridge and Professor Snape—

"You applied to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts first, didn't you?" Professor Umbridge asked Snape.

"Yes. Snape whispered.

"But didn't apply?"

Snape pouted, "Obviously. ”

"You've applied to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts many times since you entered the school, haven't you?" I heard Umbridge ask.

"Yes. Snape whispered, his lips barely moving. He looked annoyed.

"Do you know why Dumbledore repeatedly refused to use you?" Umbridge asked.

"I suggest you go and ask him. Snape replied stiffly.

"I will. Professor Umbridge said with a smile on his face.

"Then I'm so grateful to you!" Snape asked, his dark eyes narrowing.

After a conversation that didn't make much progress, Umbridge made her way to the hall with some displeasure.

However, at the breakfast banquet this time, Headmaster Albus Dumbledore stood up from his seat for the first time in a long time and announced, "I think I need to introduce you to two new teachers......"

"New teacher?" Umbridge shouted sharply, "you've found ...... I remind you, Dumbledore, that in accordance with the Twenty-Second Education Order......"

"The Ministry of Magic has the right to appoint teachers if and only if the headmaster cannot find a suitable candidate. I'm happy to announce that this time I've found it. Would you like me to introduce me?" Dumbledore smiled softly at Umbridge as the door to the hall opened.

An old man with gray hair walked into the hall, his face was covered with freckles, but he did not look terrible at all, but rather kind.

Jon was stunned...... He had seen this old man before.

"Welcome, Newt!" Dumbledore strode over and gave the old man a warm hug, "Welcome back to Hogwarts!"

The students of the four academies obviously recognized who the new old man was...... He is a household name in the wizarding world.

Everyone applauded in the most violent way...... In particular, the applause of the Hufflepuff students was the loudest.

Umbridge's face was now extremely ugly.

"Let's welcome, Professor Newt Scamander!" Dumbledore shouted.

"Oh......" There was a cheer from below.

"Thank you, Albus...... Also, thank you all for your support!" The new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor smiled and nodded towards the four houses and faculty chairs in turn, "I thought Professor Dumbledore wanted me to be the teacher of the Magical Beasts Protection class, but I didn't expect him to find a new teacher...... I'm going to settle for the Defence Against the Dark Arts class!"

"Found a new teacher?" Umbridge's face changed.

"No, Dolores!" Dumbledore shook his head at Umbridge, "It's actually an old teacher......"

“...... You shouldn't forget that you're only temporarily acting as a teacher of the Magical Beasts class......" Dumbledore blinked a little mischievously, "But for now, you might be able to relax and say goodbye to this position for the time being...... Because our real Magical Beasts Conservation teacher, Professor Rubeus Hagrid, has returned!"

A tall figure walked into the hall with his head bowed.

Rubeus-Hagrid grinned at the students, though his beard had somehow been plucked out and he had a few more wounds on his face......

The students applauded desperately, and for the first time they felt that Hagrid was so pleasing to the eye.

......

Professor Umbridge's face was completely pale...... As if she had never been humiliated like this.

Jon followed Umbridge and arrived at her office with a roll of parchment.

"Oh, Patrick, what's the matter?" Umbridge barely managed to squeeze a smile out of his face.

"That's what you told us, members......" Jon said quickly, placing the parchment roll on Umbridge's desk, "This is the recent whereabouts of Potter and his friends...... As you might expect, they do seem to have set up an organization in secret......"

"Damn!" But before Umbridge could take a closer look, there was a knock at the door.

"Excuse me, Patrick!" Umbridge hurriedly walked over.

As soon as the door opened, Filch's voice came from outside: "Professor Umbridge, Professor Scamander has come to the castle...... He wanted to use the office that was supposed to belong to the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor......"

Jon feigned boredom and looked around, then found a file on Umbridge's desk.

There was a list of names written on the paper, starting with Albus Dumbledore, then Harry Potter, Arthur Weasley......

Jon looked down and found Alasto-Moody's name, which was circled and crossed out by a red pen.

Further down, there is also a circled name, although it is not crossed yet:

"Diana Greengrass. ”
