Chapter 739: The Lectic Stage

Alan turned around and walked towards the Ravenclaw table from which he had come, ignoring the chatter and gaze of the people in the auditorium.

Michael, who was next to his original position on the Eagle Dean's table, saw that Alan was returning, so he moved to the side, trying to make more space for Alan. Almost everyone in the auditorium thought that Alan had given up sitting in the faculty chair and had chosen to sit with the students as he had done in previous years, much to the relief of McGonagall, who was already worried about the faculty seat.

"It's so unfair, isn't Eren also a professor of ancient magic, shouldn't the school prepare a seat for him?" Hermione was used to Alan sitting at the long table, but Alan's series of actions also made her realize Hogwarts' mistakes.

Ron habitually wanted to refute when he heard this, and then suddenly remembered that it was Alan who had helped him prove his orientation on the train at the end of last semester, and that the Weasley family's years of tutoring had made the freckled red-haired wizard blush, and finally just opened his mouth and viciously took a piece of chocolate cake and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing those sarcastic words along with sweets.

A frowning Dumbledore stared at Alan for a moment, then he straightened himself and coughed lightly, trying to continue speaking, but a piercing screech resounded through the Great Hall.

It turned out that Luna used Transfiguration to turn her metal fork of the pudding into a wooden chair for Alan, and Eren took it and dragged it slowly and began to walk towards the faculty chair again, the screeching sound of the chair dragging on the ground and the floor was embarrassing, in a quiet atmosphere, Alan leisurely sat down on the faculty chair, and then knocked on the table, and the house-elves stacked the hearty desserts prepared on the gold plate, and then changed to the table in front of Allen.

Professor McGonagall shook her head in disagreement at the sight of Allen's actions, and she tried to explain to Dumbledore, "Professor Harris, Albus didn't mean to do this, you don't have to ......"

Dumbledore, who had been watching Alan's actions in silence, spoke to him again, "I have to apologize again, Professor Harris. ”

Alan replied with a friendly smile, "It's okay, Headmaster Dumbledore, I'm at fault, and I shouldn't have been sitting in the student seat in the first place." ”

The originally quiet Great Hall suddenly became noisy, and the young wizards were talking about Alan's behavior, and some Muggle-born freshmen could no longer pretend to be reserved, curiously asking the people next to them who this person was, and some wizards close to Dumbledore thought that Alan was a little too proud to make the situation so embarrassing...... But after last year's publicity, Hogwarts Allen's supporters and admirers have also become the majority, and they feel that Allen's behavior is not only understandable, but also imposing, a symbol of strength, and the fact that the new savior is not getting the respect he deserves because of the school's negligence.

"I'm sorry Professor Harris, but there will never be anything like this again. Dumbledore apologized again, and he waited a few more seconds before the Great Hall was completely silent before continuing, "As you know......

"I beg your pardon......" Alan raised his hand and interrupted his headmaster's speech again, Dumbledore turned to stare at him with a serious face, "I'm sorry, Professor Harris, you ......"

"I suppose you forgot to introduce me to the students, but please forgive me for my recklessness and let me do it myself. With that, Alan stood up without waiting for Dumbledore's approval, and he also transfigured the metal fork in front of him to resemble the lectern in front of the Headmaster, the only difference was that he turned the owl statue into a raven statue and made it stand on the dining table, and then he began to introduce himself in a loud voice, "I'm Alan A. Harris, I teach ancient magic at Hogwarts, and I will teach you how to use these ancient magic correctly, both common spells and dark magic, and how to use them in battle, and I will keep you from going to extremes, I will not try to make you saints, nor will I let you fall into demons, this knowledge will only give you a better chance of being the one who survives when you are forced to face enemies. Finally, my course is an elective, it is only open to students in the third year and above, and the Ministry of Magic expects to incorporate it in two years. The LS exam will be included in the .exam after four years, and if you want to join the Aurors in the future, then you better make sure to get the least E in your .. ”

With that, Alan sat down with the podium back into a fork, nodded at Dumbledore staring at him, and then sat down and began to fork the pudding in front of him.

The members of the training class and the young wizards who are interested in taking the next step on the road of magic burst into warm applause and cheers.

"Thank you very much, Professor Harris, for your very enlightening remarks...... But I'm sorry......" Dumbledore didn't try to apologize for "forgot" to introduce Allen this time, he owed to Allen, and then turned to face the students again, and also used a loud voice to drown out the cheers," I have to remind you that it is still a pending plan whether or not the Ancient Magic class will be included in the Ministry of Magic exams, because the Ministry of Magic has ensured everyone's safety as it stands, so some school directors and I are discussing whether this subject is really necessary to discuss with the Ministry of Magic so that no one needs to risk learning spells that are too dangerous, so I personally recommend that you think twice before deciding whether to enroll in this course. ”

Allen's voice immediately sounded again: "I also have to warn you, Headmaster Dumbledore, the Ministry of Magic does not absolutely guarantee the safety of everyone, just like under the protection of our Ministry of Magic, you still let the arm of the world's greatest white wizard suffer serious curse damage...... I don't think we can take the place of others to make decisions about how they should ensure their own safety. ”

"I thought you were done, Professor Harris. Dumbledore didn't look back.

"I was abrupt to interrupt you, but Headmaster Dumbledore, if you don't want someone to contradict your speech, then you shouldn't be talking about that person, or you can't try to expect people to always be obedient to you. Alan also owed a debt to Dumbledore who was carrying his back, and then spread his hands and shrugged, "Also, because of the exploration of the subjects that have not been taught in the House before and that I will teach, if Headmaster Dumbledore doesn't mind, I think maybe I can help you heal the damage caused by this curse and stop it from spreading, although it will take a long time...... Of course, I think if the Headmaster can continue to specialize in the dark arts as he did when he was younger, it won't be difficult for me to solve it with your talent for it. ”

Dumbledore raised the cursed palm that had been covered, and let it appear in front of everyone again:" Thank you for your concern, Professor Harris, but I've asked Horace and Severus to help me with the potions, and like you said, it's going to take some time, so I don't think I'll be delaying a third person from the injuries I suffered as an old man, but you're right, I'm sure I won't be talking about you and your lessons, but like we had that conversation in private, I'll have to do that, though it will take some time......"

Alan didn't speak, just raised his glass to the Headmaster of Hogwarts, and then really focused on dealing with the pudding in front of him.

And now the entire school auditorium, whether it is the student table or the teacher's seat, is silent, even the most reckless Gryffindor does not dare to make any noise in this atmosphere, the students look at each other, the greatest white wizard and the new savior have some conceptual contradictions, many people know more or less, but just like those optimists who listened to the report that the two most powerful wizards in the world will soon defeat Voldemort at Hogwarts, they were shocked and terrified to find that Alan Harris and Albus Dumbledore's contradictions have actually become so intense that they are in front of them.

The argument finally stopped, and Dumbledore pressed his hands to the lectern again, "As you know, everyone was searched before entering the school tonight. You have the right to know why, there was a young man who, like you, sat in this hall, walked through the corridors and slept in the beds here...... He looks like no one else - I think you're already familiar with his name in the Daily Prophet, Tom Riddle, or Voldemort. ”

However, due to the previous debate between Dumbledore and Allen, the appearance of the second Dark Lord's name in the Great Hall did not cause too much reaction as usual, but it still caused everyone to refocus on the Headmaster of Hogwarts.

After a few more seconds, Dumbledore spoke again: "The current situation in the wizarding world is much better than I originally thought due to the efforts of the Ministry of Magic, and Hogwarts has been more effectively professionally protected by the Aurors sent by the Ministry of Magic. But in order to avoid accidents like mine, every one of us and teachers must always be vigilant and not take it lightly. I implore you to report anything unusual or suspicious to the faculty immediately, both on or off campus. I am sure that you will restrain your actions for the safety of yourself and others. Okay kids, go to bed after enjoying dessert, have a good rest, get ready for tomorrow's class, good night, have a good dream. ”

Dumbledore waved at the students, and his head would not leave the podium, as if he had no intention of returning to his seatβ€”but after taking a few steps, he reflexively grabbed a small handful of lemon snow before leaving again.
