Reading this, the students all looked at Dumbledore in front of the stage with admiration, this is their patron saint of Hogwarts, the backbone of existence, just one person can suppress the group of vicious dark wizards in Azkaban, so that they cannot escape.

Dumbledore took these adoring glances at him calmly, after all, he was used to it, and then he said to the students earnestly: "With great power comes great responsibility, I hope you will remember this, and I look forward to waiting for you to graduate, and I will also see your good news from the Daily Prophet from time to time." β
The students all nodded excitedly.
"Then, now we should talk about something else. Dumbledore's arms flailed as if he were stretching.
"It's a good thing for me that the Dementors have been de-stationed at Hogwarts, I don't like dealing with those creatures, but for you, there are a lot fewer guards to protect you, Black is still on the run, and he sneaks into the school from time to time, and the portrait of the fat woman proves that it's not completely safe, and if it wasn't for enough luck last time, I think tragedy might have happened. β
"We're not afraid!" said one of the Gryffindor students, anxious to prove his mettle.
"Yes, we're not afraid. The rest of the students followed.
"No, no, no, I'm not trying to confront the fugitive, a person should have a full understanding of his current situation, not be arrogant, but not arrogant. Dumbledore muttered.
"Sirius Black, who was also my student, is very gifted, and is almost impeccable except for a little mischief. Dumbledore said in a tone of nostalgia as he glanced at Lupin diagonally across from him.
"I was expecting him to be a good Auror or some other respectable profession, but unfortunately, no, most of you probably know what happened. β
"What I need to say here is that he is first and foremost an adult wizard, an adult wizard with great talent, most of you here will not be his opponent when you face him, given the time may be, but not now, and he may have learned more esoteric and evil black magic, I can't let an underage child face this danger, not to mention that you are all my students, this is my responsibility. β
"So, the Dementors are gone, and we need some other help. Dumbledore coughed lightly, drawing the students' attention.
"Come in, my old friend, and try not to scare my students, most of them are just kids. Dumbledore's eyes looked in the direction of the gate and he shouted out with a full breath.
With a "bang", the door was suddenly knocked open, and a cold wind poured in, making many students can't help but tighten their robes.
A man stood in the doorway, leaning on a long cane and wrapped in a black travel cloak. Everyone in the auditorium turned their heads to look at the stranger.
So they just felt cold on their bodies just now, but now even their hearts are starting to feel cold.
The light of the auditorium illuminated the man's face as if it had been carved out of a rotten piece of wood, and the carver had only a vague idea of what the face should be, and he was not very good at using a carving knife. Every inch of skin on his face seemed to be scarred, his mouth was like a crooked gap, and the place where his nose should have bulged was gone. And the most terrifying thing about this man is his eyes.
One of his eyes was small, black and shiny, and the other was large, round like a coin, and a vivid bright blue. The blue eye moved and motioned without blinking, up and down, left and right, completely unrelated to the normal eyeβand then, when the blue eye rolled over and burrowed into the man's head, one could only see a large white eyeball.
The stranger's steps were quick, and he chose a random gap between the two tables and walked over, asking the students on both sides to move their stools back a few steps.
From the looks of his face, he really didn't look like a good person, and a few students even began to tremble when they saw him.
"I think it's a real guy now. Malfoy was a little surprised when he saw the man in front of him.
His identity is almost out of the blue-eyed Moody, and the blue ** eye that is always dirling is his best identification.
"It's funny how he got those big eyes. Pansy took a keen interest in the man in front of her, staring into Moody's eyes with bright eyes and asking Malfoy with interest. Maybe she thought it was cool to be able to turn her eyes so flexibly.
"I don't know, but the only thing I know for sure is that if you want to have such an eye, you'll have to gouge out your normal eye first. Malfoy said helplessly, sometimes he did have difficulty understanding Pansy's brain circuits.
"That's okay, I thought it was just a prop, handsome is handsome, but it's not beautiful. Pansy shook her head in disappointment.
Moody walked over to Dumbledore. He stretched out a hand, which was as scarred as his face. Dumbledore shook his hand and whispered something that the students didn't hear. He seemed to be asking the stranger about something, and the stranger shook his head without a smile and replied in a low voice. Dumbledore nodded, motioning for the man to sit in an empty seat to his right.
He sat down, shook his head, and shook his long gray hair away from his face, his normal eyes staring straight ahead, as if in a daze, while the magic eye was swirling in its sockets, surveying everything around him.
How the students at the table wished they were still eating, and the man in front of him might have taken his disgusting eyes to see the food.
"Allow me to introduce Mr. Moody, who will be in charge of school security in the coming days. Dumbledore said with a smile, then waved his hand and said, "If any of you want to be a good Auror, then he is your best role model." β
"I remember who he is, Mad-Eye Moody!" At the Gryffindor table, Ron suddenly tapped the table to attract everyone's attention, and Hermione, who was far away from Ron, also pricked up her ears, she was good at those textbooks, but she was not so familiar with some figures in the wizarding world.
In contrast, Ron, who was born into a wizarding family, always had some advantages.
"Is that Moody?" said Seamus, the fear on his face fading into admiration.
"His eye is proof. Ron enjoyed the feeling of being in everyone's eyes, and then said in confusion: "My dad told me he was retired, and there are some gods chattering, how can he be here?"
"We don't know who he is yet. A girl next to her asked, girls rarely pay attention to this aspect of things, and men will be full of yearning for those heroic deeds that destroy evil, which is also natural.
"He's a famous Auror..."Ron began to show off the stories he had heard about Moody, but was interrupted by Dumbledore.
"Surely some of you have already heard of his deeds, but these gossip will be reserved for the night talk in your dormitories, and we have more important things to announce now. β
"Mr. Moody is de facto retired. Dumbledore slowed his tone, "He could have spent his old age in peace, but he was invited out of the mountain by a bad old man like me, thank you for your generosity, Mr. Moody." Dumbledore said in a respectful tone, and bowed in the direction where Moody was.
"I think it's a shame for me to die in my hospital bed in peace, and I have to thank you, Headmaster Dumbledore. Moody immediately stood up and saluted back.
"I feel weird. The corners of Dumbledore's mouth suddenly curved.
"Me too. Moody's chimed in.
Then the two of them laughed at the same time, "When do we need to be so polite?" Moody grinned, which was a great contrast to his hideous face, which made the students around him feel that this man was not so scary.
"Welcome to Hogwarts, my old friend. Dumbledore thanked him again.
"This eye of mine is yearning for more evil. Moody coughed heavily, "Of course, I trust your students, so I said..." Moody's normal eyes and magic eyes looked at the group of students at the same time. "You don't need to be afraid of me, I will only act against sin. β
The students began to whisper again.
"Spotted?" Ron whispered to the table, feeling Spotted tremble frantically again, as if he had been greatly frightened.
Will the Monoculus be able to see through an Animagus? It's a question worth pondering, and it's more likely a fatal one for Peter Pettigrew.
"Moody, come up and tell me about your plans. Dumbledore made a gesture of please.
Moody walked briskly in front of the students, looking at them condescendingly from the stage.
"The Dementors are gone, but the safety of Hogwarts cannot be stopped, so at the request of the Minister for Magic and Mr. Dumbledore, I have come to Hogwarts with some urgently recalled Aurors, which is also my alma mater, and I hope that those evil, brutal criminals will never have a chance to set foot here. Moody said with a serious face, his hoarse voice as if he was scratching a blackboard with his fingertips, and it was uncomfortably sharp.
There were so many injuries on his body, and even a scar on the left and right of his throat, which was the main reason why his voice was so ugly.
"So, I'm hoping for everyone's cooperation, because I don't want to see your corpses somewhere, that's too cruel, isn't it?" Moody's magic eye began to scan the students again, and the somewhat distant word "corpse" made them shudder.
"Maybe death is the best ending, many cruel spells can make you worse than death, a spell can make you kneel and beg for mercy, don't expect a murderer to play with you some kind of dueling club or something, it's not a study time, and it will bow to you very politely. Moody's changed his words and began to ramble again.
"For example. His eyes dilated at the same time, and he quickly drew his wand pinned behind him and raised his hand.
"Faint!"
Bright light emanated from the tip of his somewhat old wand and shot at one of the students, causing the surrounding students to scream.
"Armor!" An invisible barrier rose from Malfoy's front as if absorbed by a sponge, and the spell slowed down and its light began to diminish until it completely disappeared above the table.
"Bang bang. Just before most of the students came to their senses, Moody applauded and turned their attention, "I wanted to find a negative textbook, but I didn't expect to find it, to my surprise, you are very good, I thought Dumbledore was just complimenting you politely, but I didn't expect it to be really worthy of the name." Moody said appreciatively to Malfoy.
"You're wrong, Mr. Moody. Malfoy replied, then sat down again.
"Ask yourself, besides this student, who else did you have the confidence to take on this spell?" Moody shouted to a group of students.
There was silence again.
"Look, I've left my hand just now, and the real Dark Wizard will be faster and more ruthless than me. Moody's words became sharper and sharper, and some students couldn't help but bow their heads and didn't dare to look at him, "By the way, Dumbledore, there is still that tradition, how about adding ten points to this Slytherin classmate?"
"Of course, Slytherin plus ten points, for Draco's wonderful performance. Dumbledore said with a smile, and then reminded Moody, "You can relax a little, don't be too nervous, my students are not as strong as you think, they still need time." β
"If you make a fool of yourself now, you won't lose your life when you fight. Moody dropped Dumbledore such a reply, and then began to "bombard" the students again.
"Blake has been tortured by Dementors in Azkaban for so many years, and now he relies on a vengeful heart to support himself until now, I dare not imagine how twisted his heart is, so that there will be a lot of bonuses to the power of certain spells" Moody paused, then looked at Neville in front of Gryffindor's table, and said with some emotion: "You must know it well. β
Neville's small round face showed a resolute and heavy expression, and he nodded deeply.
His parents, both of whom had been tortured to the point of madness, are still being treated at St. Mungo's Hospital.
"I'm very glad that your grandmother taught you well, and you are worthy of your parents' efforts. Moody nodded appreciatively. (To be continued.) )
