28, big change!
Hoffa stared blankly at his body, yes, he was wet, as if he had been drenched in heavy rain once.
"Oops, still in a daze!"
Aglaia stomped her foot twice in exasperation, then raised her wand and waved it.
A signal spell shot into the sky.
Then, a figure ran over at a rapid speed.
"Did you find it?" asked Miranda in the wind.
"Found it. Aglaia said angrily. "This guy seems to have a broken head......"
"Don't say it, let's go quickly. Miranda, in the fog in the distance, shouted, "There's still one last carriage, don't be late for the banquet." ”
"It's coming. Without saying a word, Aglaia picked up Hoffa, who didn't know the situation at all, and dragged him onto the right path.
After storming the Black Iron Gates of Hogwarts, Hoffa saw a carriage dragged by a Blackwing Bone Horse. Miranda was waving to him in the carriage.
After getting into the car, Aglaia frowned angrily.
Miranda crossed her arms and looked at Hoffa with a solemn expression, "Did something happen to you?"
Hofa was puzzled and told his two friends what he had seen.
As a result, their expressions changed.
"Is it so weird to see the train chassis?" muttered Agrea.
"Have you ever been before?" asked Dr. Miranda.
Hoffa nodded, "I was lost in centaur magic once last year, and it was a lot like this one. ”
Miranda rubbed her chin: "Centaur magic, illusion?"
"Not true. Aglaia shook her head. "The casting of illusion magic requires a medium. There are many kinds of mediums, smells, patterns, objects, etc. But have you ever touched the medium of illusion?"
"I don't remember. Hoffa said dryly.
"I don't think it's a hallucination. Miranda shrugged, "You think, why can't anyone else see it, but Hoffa can." Also, even if someone wants to cast illusion magic, what is the purpose? The centaurs set up the illusion to protect the Forbidden Forest, and there is a clear purpose.
But what Hoffa saw sounded like a dream with no logic at all, just a chaotic subconscious inorganic combination. Hoffa, do you have some kind of sleepwalking?"
The two Ravenclaw friends each expressed their opinions, and Hoffa, who was in the midst of the grotesque event itself, did not say a word, just shook his head.
Dreamland?Sleepwalking...... God knows what happened to him.
Before he could explore the strange things that had happened to him, the Thestrals' carriage stopped, and they reached the main building of the castle.
The three of them got out of the carriage, and two friends were arguing with each other, one suggesting that Hoffa see the school doctor, and the other suggesting that Hoffa go to a psychiatrist.
Although I knew that they had good intentions, I couldn't help but keep saying it.
In the end, Hoffa said with some annoyance: "I'm not sick, can you let me be quiet." ”
The two friends turned a deaf ear to his appeals, still chattering curiously and worriedly beside them.
Hoffa quickened his pace and made his way through a group of red-robed Gryffindors into the school hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, Hoffa was stunned.
Compared with the description in the original book, last year's hall was a little more serious and stereotyped, but there were still four long bars in the hall.
This year, however, the halls of Hogwarts have completely changed.
The tables in the four courtyards are neatly arranged in four directions, like the four rows of the Great Wall of mahjong tables.
And the purpose of the school is also clear at a glance.
In the middle of the hall, a carved metal column stands tall. The carved metal pillars connected the floor to the soaring ceiling, carved with intricate patterns and mystical magical symbols.
The metal pillar broke off at a height of about two meters, and the entangled metal pattern formed two palms at the break, and the two palms went up and down.
The most striking thing is that in the center of the upper and lower metal palms, there is a round white sphere. The orb emitted a hazy glow, and there seemed to be stars coiling in the middle.
It was so brilliant that everyone who entered the hall was thoroughly drawn to it.
On the ceiling, there was a faint and misty glow.
"What's that?"
Hoffa stared in shock at the metal arm towering in the center of the hall. The students of the other houses were like him, standing at the entrance and whispering.
Each person's expression was different, ranging from astonishment, curiosity, reverence, and even fear.
Aglaia and Miranda, who entered the hall late, also gasped and stood in place.
"Hogwarts Orbs. ”
Aglaia said incredulously, "According to legend, it was forged by the four founders together, and it is said that it is a wizarding artifact that can protect the school from disaster. What the hell happened, the school actually took out this kind of thing. ”
The four founders work together to cast?
Hearing her words, Hoffa could feel the protective magic permeating the entire hall with a slight feeling of the spiritual force field.
And the closer the spiritual force field got to the ball in the middle, the more obscure the magical aura that could be felt.
Bang Bang Bang!
At this moment, there was a loud applause in the hall, interrupting the students' attention.
Hoffa turned his head and saw Dumbledore standing at the faculty desk, wearing a blue wizard's robe and a pointed wizard's hat.
It looks very elegant and extraordinary.
"Everyone, sit back at their tables in their own courtyards, as usual. The sorting ceremony is about to begin. ”
He said.
As he spoke, the students immediately parted and headed to their desks.
Ravenclaw's table was now on the east side of the hall, and Hoffa took his seat, his perception remaining on top of the orb.
He was curious about what this treasure that had never appeared in the original book was used for. Until the sorting ceremony began, his attention never wandered.
......
......
The 1939 Sorting was probably the most deserted in history, from the young wizards putting on their sorting hats to the time they were placed in their respective houses, and very few people applauded.
Most of the people in the hall were like Hoffa, and their attention was not on the sorting ceremony.
It wasn't until the end of the sorting ceremony that the fire on the faculty desk was bright, and the light pressed down on the brilliant orb in the center of the hall, and everyone's attention was focused on the faculty desk.
There was a loud coughing sound, and with the coughing, an old rickety figure stood up.
Armando Duppet looked even worse than last year, hunched over, skinny, weak and skinny. The half-bald head is now even more messy.
He finally stood up and held his waist. Hoffa began to suspect that his headmaster might not have a few years to live.
In the midst of everyone's worried eyes, Armando Duppert, the current Headmaster of Hogwarts, began to speak.
"This year, we have two changes. First, our vice-chancellor and president of the Ravenclaw Institute, Adbay Gosak, was temporarily unable to teach during an official visit to the Soviet Union this year. Pending the return of Dean Goshawk, I will appoint Professor Albus Percival Dumbledore as President of Ravenclaw House for the time being, as well as the position of Vice-Chancellor. ”
The headmaster spoke.
Everyone was stunned, and Hoffa was also stunned.
But immediately, the crowd in the hall was polarized. The expressions of the students at the Ravenclaw table froze, including Aglaia and Miranda.
But the people at the Gryffindor table couldn't help but cheer, they looked at Ravenclaw triumphantly, and some even whistled uncontrollably.
"Silence. ”
The huge mental force field suppressed all the frenzied atmosphere, and Principal Dippet looked coldly at the few whistling Gryffindor students.
"You three, work in the forest for a month. ”
The atmosphere instantly turned cold to freezing point, and Gryffindor shut up.
After punishing three Gryffindors who had ruined their speech, Dippet continued:
"Of course, in keeping with the old tradition of Ravenclaw, Dumbledore will also be transferred to Charms this year. I am confident that he is fully qualified for this position, and I hope that the Ravenclaw students will be as they have always been. Respect and trust your dean. ”
After he finished speaking, Dumbledore stood up.
He pressed his chest with his right hand, took off his wizarding hat with his left, and bowed slightly.
The Ravenclaw students applauded, but the applause was filled with Ravenclaw-esque skepticism and coldness.
Hofa applauded more genuinely than the others, Dumbledore was temporarily the head of Ravenclaw House and the teacher of Charms, this ..... I really didn't expect it.
But when you think about it, it's normal. Dumbledore's journey from Transfiguration teacher to headmaster was blank, and no one knew what had happened.
Nor can a school arbitrarily assign an outside person to the position of acting vice-principal. Speaking of which, Dumbledore and Goshawk were listening outside when they handed over their tasks in the Headmaster's office last year.
Of course, Dumbledore came to teach himself the charm, and Hoffa personally felt that there was no problem. After all, he is one of the greatest wizards of the future.
It's just that the school will arrange for the lack of teachers in this transformation class......
Before Hoffa could figure out the school's arrangements for a moment.
Principal Dippet nodded sideways.
The flame on the faculty desk seemed to be a little brighter.
Then, Dippert looked around and said:
"The second change of the year. The Transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts will be the best graduate of the previous class, Osiva Hersin Romanoff, a ---- from Slytherin. ”
A familiar name came to Hofar's ear.
Hoffa was shaken, like a lightning strike.
He looked up suddenly.
I saw a tall girl slowly walking up the stairs behind the teacher's desk, standing in front of the table in the four courtyards, and bowing slightly.
Ossivia wore purple wizarding robes, different from when Hoffa first met, but other than that, she didn't change anything. As always, it is cold, and as always, there is no trace of ornaments.
To the applause of the Slytherin table, Ossivia sat down, then glanced around the Ravenclaw table, found Hoffa, and paused on his face for a moment, then withdrew his gaze and remained motionless.
It took a long time for the applause at the Slytherin table to subside.
Hoffa's breathing stagnated for a moment, he never thought that this year's Transfiguration class teacher would actually be replaced by this guy.
This is a teammate who took a common adventure a month ago, but finally broke up with strangers.
"I know this man. ”
Aglaia's solemn voice came from the side.
Hoffa slowly turned his head to look at her, and said hoarsely, "You know?"
"Well, Osiva Romanov. In 1935, she was traded to Hogwarts and placed in Slytherin as Durmstrand's best student.
After only two years, she completed all of her Hogwarts courses and joined the Ministry of Magic's Defence Against the Dark Arts Division as an intern. I really didn't expect that she would be the teacher of this year's transformation class. ”
After saying that, she looked at the man in the teacher's seat without blinking.
Hoffa rarely saw that look in Aglaea's eyes, and it was a very peculiar gaze. If you insist on describing it, it is probably like the young Xiang Yu saw Qin Shi Huang, and he can take his place.
"Wait a minute. Miranda suddenly said, "Romanov, if I'm not mistaken, the Minister of Magic of the Soviet Union ......"
"Daughter. ”
The answer was given to a Hogwarts senior next to her.
The senior shook his head and sighed, "She is the daughter of the former Soviet Minister of Magic, Konstantin. ”
