"So it looks like I've done a good thing?" Malfoy touched his chin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"yes, maybe she's got a crush on you. Pansy said sourly.

"Ahem, do you think it smells a bit heavy?" Malfoy decided to avoid the topic, and instead mentioned the foul smell in the carriage.

Not to mention that she hadn't paid much attention to it, but as soon as Malfoy mentioned it, Pansy immediately noticed the foul smell coming from the carriage, which was a faint musty smell and the smell of straw, which made Pansy feel as if she was on a farm in a remote rural area of England, and the occasional bumps made her more and more nauseous.

"Fresh air!" Malfoy waved his wand, making the smell of the carriage feel better.

I have to admit that wizards are much more convenient in their daily lives than ordinary Muggles, and that's true.

Malfoy suddenly felt something on his shoulder, and it turned out that Pansy had fallen asleep again, and she was so tired today that it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was exhausted.

The carriage continued to roll forward, in front of it was a pair of magnificent cast-iron gates, lined with many stone pillars, with winged boars at one end, two tall, turbaned Dementors stood guard on both sides of the gate, the surroundings were cold and dark, there was always a depressive aura, and when he passed by, Malfoy lit the light of the Patronus in the carriage, and he sensitively felt that the two Dementors also took a few steps back in disgust.

"Rest assured, you will soon find your rightful home. Malfoy clenched his fists, having made a final decision on the fate of these inherently evil magical creatures.

The carriage stepped onto a sloping lane, and Thestrals, who pulled the cart, increased its speed, and many corner towers and towers gradually approached them, until finally the carriage staggered to a halt.

He and Pansy slowly got out of the carriage and walked up the stone steps, past the large oak door, to the deep antechamber, Malfoy slowed down as much as he could to take care of Pansy, and through a small door, Malfoy looked down the hall and saw that it was not particularly bright inside, as if the magical ceiling had failed.

"I'll take you to Madam Pomfrey first. Malfoy said to Pansy, who saw that Pansy's face was getting paler and paler, and that she looked like she was going to faint at any moment, so it was better to find the school doctor.

Well, Pansy nodded obediently. ”

After Pansy was settled, Malfoy had the time to attend the sorting ceremony for the freshmen, but it was probably over, and they had been delayed for a long time.

Walking down the stairs to the Great Hall, Malfoy saw a sea of black with pointed hats, and the faces of the students were illuminated by the candles suspended above the tables, and sure enough, Professor Flitwick was walking out of the Great Hall with an old hat and triangular stool, which meant that the sorting ceremony was over.

Malfoy walked quietly and swiftly towards the Slytherin table, many of the students took off their hats when they saw him, as a sign of respect, and some of the freshmen did the same to their seniors, even if they didn't know why they were doing it, and a few of them stood up just to make a seat for Malfoy.

"The charm of prestige. Malfoy sighed silently in his heart, not knowing whether sarcasm or some more complicated emotions were surging in his heart.

Professor Dumbledore stood up on the stage, ready to speak, when all the students stopped whispering.

Professor Dumbledore looked very old. But he can still be described as energetic, always giving students and teachers the impression of being energetic, his hair and beard are several feet long, he wears semicircular glasses, and his nose is quite hooked, and most of the Hogwarts students are full of respect for him, except for the freshmen, and the freshmen have many things to do to listen to his legend.

"Welcome!" Professor Dumbledore said, his beard glistening in the light of the candles. "Welcome to Hogwarts for the new school year! I have a few things to say to all of you, one of which is very important and serious, and I think it would be better to make it clear before you get lost in this meal. ”

Dumbledore then told him about the Dementors stationed outside Hogwarts, even if he didn't like these evil magical creatures wandering around the school, it was an order from the Ministry of Magic, and if he didn't want to fall out with the Ministry of Magic and maintain harmony on the surface, he had to put up with it.

So he deliberately emphasized the importance of safety, reminded the prefects, and gave a warning look to several students who often violated the school rules.

Percy of the Weasley family puffed up his chest and looked around, showing the majesty of the prefect, which impressed many of the students, and Dumbledore looked around and saw that no one was speaking, so he cleared his throat and began the next words.

"It's more pleasing to be," he continued. This year, I am delighted to welcome two new teachers to our team. ”

"The first was Professor Lupin, who graciously agreed to fill the void in the Defence Against the Dark Arts course. ”

There was only sporadic and not very enthusiastic applause among the students, and the students who had been in the carriage with him just now applauded enthusiastically, because his patronus charm protected everyone.

As for the other students, they didn't know anything about it, people were visual creatures, and compared to other well-dressed teachers, Lupin's dress was too shabby, and perhaps he was only better than Snape in terms of neatness, which made many students have a bad first impression of him.

Snape's gaze had been staring at Lupin along the faculty's long table, his eyes deep and dark, not because Snape felt that the two of them might have some similar dressing styles, and the sympathy for each other, but the distorted expression on his sallow and thin face was more than annoyance.

Since there is a house of love and a house, there will also be a house of hatred and a house.

If it should be impossible to deny that Snape hated Jaime the most in the four, then it was only natural that the other three would be hated as part of the group.

Lupin was entrusted with the role of prefect by Dumbledore, but it seems that he did not play much role in the relationship between classmates, and James and Snape should be hated or hated, duel or duel.

Of course, this dereliction of duty is not to mention, and the grievances between these two people cannot be resolved by simple mediation.

Snape wouldn't give Lupin a good look anyway.

"As for the second teacher we appointed," Dumbledore continued, "well, I'm sorry to tell you that Professor Kettleburn, our teacher in the Conservation of Magical Creatures class, retired at the end of last year to have more time with his remaining naughty ones. However, I am pleased to say that it was none other than Rubeus Hagrid, who had agreed to serve as a teacher in addition to his duties as a gamekeeper. ”

Harry, Hermione, and Ron glanced at each other, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, the unhappiness of the previous few people was also put aside for the time being, and they applauded enthusiastically, not long ago Hermione and Ron were arguing about the danger of Crookshank Mountain to Spotted, but now they were all happy for Hagrid and put aside their grudges.

So the applause on the Gryffindor table was particularly intense.

"Wasn't that big man once said to be the mastermind of the murder? It's a gift for such a person to be a guard, how can he still be our teacher?" the students at the Slytherin desk began to whisper, and this reaction was naturally expected by Dumbledore.

"Quiet. Dumbledore's voice was unusually loud and full of energy. "During this holiday season, I had the privilege of having Mrs. Maxim, the headmaster of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Mr. Karkaroff, the headmaster of Durmstrang, as notarizations, and invited the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, to judge and adjudicate again, and finally came to the conclusion that the murderer of fifty years ago was someone else, and that Mr. Hagrid was innocent, and soon we will have a notice of his innocence in the Daily Prophet. ”

"It is conceivable that the position to get this news will not be very large. Ron was a little depressed, and his father often complained about certain ways of doing things in the Ministry of Magic, and this kind of self-slapping message would definitely be put in the corner and try not to occupy the space, which was the biggest concession for them, and Ron immediately figured it out, anyway, Hagrid's grievances were cleared, which was a good thing for them.

Their eyes flashed at Hagrid, and they saw that his face was flushed, staring at his big hands, his smile hidden in his messy black beard, and Hagrid looked at them for a moment, grinning even more happily.

Malfoy could only sigh, Hagrid's various aspects were not enough to support him to be a good teacher, but there was no way for the headmaster to speak personally.

"Well, I think the important business is said and done," Dumbledore said, "Let's start eating." ”

The golden plates and goblets in front of the students were suddenly filled with food and drink, they were all very hungry, and began to pick up the food in front of them and eat it, the Great Hall echoed with laughter and the clashing of knives and forks, maybe the new teacher was not very satisfying to them, and the arrival of the Dementors also cast a shadow on Hogwarts, but the excitement and excitement of the start of school still made them ignore all this for the time being.
