Chapter 81: The Sorting Ceremony

As if he didn't expect Severus's reaction to be so big, Dumbledore was a little silent, and then said with a smile, "Severus, I didn't expect you to think so much about your students, I'm glad to hire you to teach, I think you'll be a qualified professor." ”

"You're talking a bit too much nonsense, Dumbledore." Severus just came back very calmly.

He really didn't have anything to say about Dumbledore's praise, let alone the slightest pride or pride.

In terms of teaching ability, Severus was sure that he would not lose to Dumbledore, and might even surpass him.

Dumbledore's advantage was only his age, only the experience he had taught for nearly a hundred years.

After all, Zhang Jin's "Pedagogy" and "Educational Psychology" are not learned in vain, and the various studies and trainings every year since he taught are not able to go back to the past, that must be real talent to pass.

And in modern teaching, if you want students to study hard, you really have to do your best, and therefore, Zhang Jin has already practiced excellent teaching skills.

Moreover, the later generations are still a period of information explosion and great theoretical development, and there are countless ways of analyzing students' minds, theories, and various education and teaching methods, and there is always one that is appropriate, isn't it?!

"Okay, then I won't bother you, besides, lunch must be brought to the hall, it is still necessary to meet with colleagues in advance, and then there will be some other matters to be announced."

Dumbledore said this before leaving, and then pushed the door open as he had come.

"Please close the door!"

Severus only reminded him of the word, ignoring it, and just continued to bury his head in the unfinished potion preparation.

……

At noon, Severus appeared in the hall on the first floor, and by this time most of the other professors had already arrived, and those who did not probably not come again.

And Severus didn't mean to be late, and the blame could only be blamed on Dumbledore for interrupting the morning potion preparation, so he delayed some time.

"Alright, we're all here." Dumbledore began by saying that, of course, there was no owl microphone at this time, and there was no need for magic amplification.

Since the students had not yet arrived, the professors had set up a long table directly in the hall, and the distance between them was far from the point where amplification was needed.

"First of all, let's get to know three of our new colleagues this year," Dumbledore continued, "and they're Charles Brown from Defence Against the Dark Arts class. Professor Singleman, Muggle Studies Quirinus. Professor Quirrell and Severus from Potions class. Welcome, Professor Snape! ”

As he spoke, Dumbledore took the lead in clapping, and the others also clapped their hands symbolically.

Speaking of which, it is quite a coincidence that all of you are Severus's "acquaintances".

Needless to say, the other professors are basically Severus's teachers when they were in school, and Severus has only graduated a few years ago, so these teachers have basically not changed much.

And one of the few changes is also an "acquaintance", Sybil of the Divination Class. Professor Trelawney can be said to have single-handedly created the beginning of the Harry Potter story, as well as the tragedy of Severus's life, and she was the professor who applied for the job at the same time as Severus.

It's just that Severus didn't take office last year and was postponed for a year.

And the other two who took office with Severus this year are not strangers, Professor Quirrell needless to say, this is a tragedy, he was a timid wizard, just because he wanted to change, but unfortunately fell into the clutches of the devil, and finally died under Harry's claws, it can be said that it is really miserable.

Another Defence Against the Dark Arts professor was also approached by Severus, the same Professor Singleman who had spoken out to Miss Umbridge during Lucius's inquiry, and if memory serves, it was probably a subordinate of Minister of Magic Bagno.

It seems that the rest of the teaching career will also have fun, and Minister Bagno obviously doesn't want Hogwarts to get out of control, but if you combine it with Voldemort's curse on the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, this guy probably won't succeed.

And his ending is not expected to be too optimistic.

Therefore, in the face of the warm greeting of his new colleagues, Severus just gave a sympathetic look, and then said hello slightly, as for the sympathy in his eyes, the other party saw it, it is estimated that it was not, and the other party happily hooked up with Professor Quirrell again, it seems that this look is still in vain!

After that, there was some nonsense that Dumbledore said, mainly nothing more than various teaching arrangements and precautions, and it is no wonder that some old professors simply did not come, such as Professor Binns, he must have been tired of hearing it for a long time.

Of course, there are also special mentions of some possible student conflicts, which is to remind the professors, and when she heard this, Professor McGonagall's face immediately became more serious, and she unconsciously looked at Severus.

After that, the other professors all looked at Severus.

Everyone knows that if there is a student conflict, Slytherin must be avoided.

It can be said that the name of Slytherin "Dark Wizard" has been played, so it is simply natural to be targeted after the fall of Voldemort, these professors don't look at them all, but when they really encounter Slytherin students being attacked, it is estimated that most of them will stand by and watch.

And most wizards will probably say "deserved" or something.

……

The Sorting Ceremony begins at seven o'clock in the evening, and the Hogwarts Express arrives at Hogsmeade Station around six o'clock.

Therefore, at half past six, the senior students were basically ready to arrive in the Great Hall, and at this time, Dumbledore and all the professors, including Severus, entered the Great Hall and took their seats.

It is estimated that it is difficult for students to see that when the professor is sitting so together, the seats facing students are full for the first time.

Of course, Severus also received the attention of the students.

After all, in the midst of a lot of old bacon and weird style of dressing, Severus's little fresh meat is too conspicuous, and many students have seen Severus as early as last semester, and there is even a legend about Severus on campus - an unknown mysterious handsome guy!

Severus's attention is, of course, on the long Slytherin table, which is also very conspicuous, the first is that there are relatively few people on it, one is that the Slytherin enrollment itself is stricter, and the other is that there are still some senior students who choose to drop out of school.

The second is that some of the students sitting at this table are not very good-looking, and it looks like they have been beaten on the train, while other houses do not have such an obvious phenomenon, so it is possible that Slytherin was beaten unilaterally!

This was also expected by Severus.

Although Severus said that he wanted to protect his students, he also knew that there were really many students in Slytherin who were more inclined to the Dark Wizard, and when Voldemort was in power before, these students also bullied others, so it was a trivial matter to endure some beatings and suffer a little.

All Severus had to make sure was that there would be no serious injuries, no injuries to their lives, and then they could turn their minds as much as possible.

There is still a long way to go!

It was at this time that Professor McGonagall led a group of young wizards in, and a group of people crowded into the aisles to look around, most of them had yearning looks in their eyes, and a few of them looked a little uneasy and hid in the crowd, needless to say, they could be sorted by their expressions.

Professor McGonagall placed her worn sorting hat on a high stool, and the sorting ceremony was about to begin!

PS: I wrote until two o'clock yesterday, and I couldn't stay up and went to sleep first, so I apologized to the book friends who were waiting for the update!!
