"What?!" Hearing Aven's words, Colin could have an egg in his open mouth.

He couldn't believe that Sirius would become a professor in Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.

Seeing Colin's expression, Evan knew Sirius had another admirer.

In fact, there are not a few young wizards who are as surprised and excited as Colin.

It didn't take long for the news of Sirius succeeding Professor Lupin as the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor spread, and the entire castle exploded.

Everyone was overjoyed and welcomed to such a legendary figure as Sirius as a professor at the school, and even many Slytherin students were looking forward to it.

At the dinner that night, the atmosphere in the auditorium was undoubtedly warm.

When Sirius walked in, there was a long burst of applause in the auditorium, and everyone craned their necks to look curiously, trying to get a better look at him.

The chattering continued until Dumbledore stood up to speak, and the Great Hall fell silent.

Dumbledore looked older than he had been when they had been separated the other day.

The Wizengamot's trial of Peter Pettigrew for many days seemed to have taken a lot of his heart.

However, his gaze still sparkled, and through the semi-circular eyes, those pale blue eyes gave a sense of seeing through everything.

"Welcome!" Professor Dumbledore said, his beard glistening from the candles, "I'm glad to see you all again at Hogwarts after the Christmas break." Before dinner begins, I will introduce you to a new teacher, Professor Black, who will succeed Professor Lupin as the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. ”

As soon as Dumbledore's words fell, a deafening applause rang out below.

The applause on the Gryffindor table was so loud that Harry and Ron even slapped their palms red.

Sirius stood up and waved his hand, and he was sitting next to Hagrid, next to Professor McGonagall on the other side. Except for Snape, who looked disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly, the other professors all smiled and applauded.

"Look at Malfoy!" Hermione whispered suddenly into Aven's ear.

Evan saw Malfoy gloomy at the Slytherin table, and instead of looking at Sirius, he stared at himself and Harry in disgust.

Noticing Aven's gaze, he hurriedly shifted his gaze elsewhere.

Evan wasn't surprised by Malfoy's anomaly. In the case of Professor Lupin, Lucius Malfoy took a huge risk to further plot a werewolf rebellion based on Peter Pettigrew's plan in order to get Dumbledore out of Hogwarts.

At the trial, Peter Pettigrew told everything. He took control of Ron and wrote a letter to Lucius Malfoy, hoping that Lucius could help him deal with Lupin, and that he would not let Dumbledore return to the castle at a critical moment.

Although everyone suspected that Lucius was behind the werewolf riot, there was no evidence, Lucius did not admit that he had received letters from Peter Pettigrew, and the Ministry of Magic had never caught the werewolf of Greyback, not even a single hair.

In this environment, Lucius eventually escaped punishment.

Of course, he also paid a big price, Fudge and those politicians are not so easy to buy, and the gold galleons that can impress them are definitely astronomical.

What frustrated Lucius the most was probably not the gold, but a golden opportunity to defeat Dumbledore, which was wasted by Peter Pettigrew. If he had known the truth of the incident earlier, he would definitely not be as stupid as Peter Pettigrew, who was actually defeated by a few twelve or thirteen-year-old wizards.

Lucius now hated Aven, Harry, and the others to death.

In this case, Malfoy naturally did not have any kind of face towards Evan, his attitude was much worse than usual, and he must be thinking about how to deal with Evan.

But Evan didn't care, with Malfoy's level, if he wanted to provoke himself, he would be asking for trouble.

That night, there was still a lot of buzz in the Gryffindor common room about Sirius becoming the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, and everyone was looking forward to his first lesson.

Unfortunately, Defence Against the Dark Arts class doesn't have until Thursday in Year 2.

The discussion continued until Harry pulled out his firebolts. Almost instantly, he was surrounded by people vying to see the firebolts.

"Oh my God, it's a fire bolt, I've seen it in the window of the Quidditch boutique in Diagon Lane, this broom sells for astronomical sums of money, where did you get it?"

"Let me ride, okay?"

"Have you ridden it, Harry?"

"Shall I take it, Harry?"

Everyone looked at the fire bolt and admired it from every angle.

When it was revealed that the broom was Sirius' Christmas present to Harry, the crowd erupted in even louder exclamations, growing anticipation for Sirius and the upcoming Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson.

"I can't understand it, it's just a broomstick that makes them excited one by one. Hermione said with a frown, sitting on the couch in front of the fireplace, checking her Christmas holiday homework.

"It's the most expensive broomstick, more expensive than all the brooms in the whole school combined!"

Evan sat on the couch next to her, looking at the book he had just borrowed from the library on vampires, he looked up at the long parchment in Hermione's hand, "You remember this place wrongly, the materials for the shrinking potion don't include the eyes of the pufferfish. ”

"Oh!" Hermione's pen tip swiped across the parchment.

"Seriously, you don't plan to take so many classes next semester, do you?"

"I know," Hermione sighed, "that timer is going to drive me crazy, being in different places at the same time, and being careful not to be discovered, I can't stand it any longer, and I'm going to give up Muggle studies and divination next year." That way, I can have a normal schedule again. ”

"Next year?!" Evan immediately noticed the time Hermione had said.

"There's a beginning and an end, Aven!" Hermione continued, looking down at her history of magic homework again, "I can't live up to Professor McGonagall's expectations of me, you know, she worked a lot to get me this timeturner, and it helped us a lot. ”

Seeing Hermione's appearance, Evan didn't know what to say.

Hermione was right, thanks to the help of the time turner, they were able to catch Peter Pettigrew, otherwise the situation would have been terrible.

He wasn't against Hermione's insistence, he just wanted her to do what she could and think more about her physical condition. (To be continued.) )
