The sorting ceremony was soon over, and the last freshman with the surname Zachary was sorted into Hufflepuff.

From being assigned to the Badger Courtyard, and the fact that the author is too lazy to think of a complete name, it can be seen that this is just a trick, and there is no need to remember his name.

Professor McGonagall put away the parchment and turned to walk out of the Great Hall with her hat on, she needed to set up the Sorting Hat before she could return to the Great Hall.

William noticed that Professor Snape had not been in the teacher's box the whole time, and wondered if he had gone to deal with Harry's problem.

Thinking of this, William couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to Potter, he had missed all the sorting ceremonies in the past two years for various reasons, this year because of the heavens, and next year because of the Dementors.

I have to say that this is a very regrettable thing.

Hopefully, when they see Snape in a moment, they won't be scared to death.

Dumbledore glanced at the golden goblet in front of him, which restored silence in the Great Hall, and then he stood up in his golden headmaster chair, coughing softly, and spoke.

"The new year is about to start again! Welcome! Welcome back to Hogwarts for the new semester, and I need to say something before food confuses your heads. ”

The little wizards sat quietly at the long table, and even those as bold as the Weasley brothers would not dare to do anything at this time.

I haven't seen you for a holiday, Lao Deng, your voice still sounds so neutral!

"First, let's say something cheerful. I'm delighted to have a new teacher join the Hogwarts faculty and welcome Professor Lockhart, who will be teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts this term. ”

？？？

Lao Deng, you have something to say!

After William applauded with the little wizards around him, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

In this semester? You mean to imply that he won't last a semester, right?

So you chose Lockhart because no one wants to be cursed except this dumbfounder?

Thinking of this, William couldn't help but look at the male wizard in the teacher's seat with a smile on his face in a fancy robe.

His skin is very fair, with curly blond hair and pale blue eyes, which makes him look like a white-faced child.

It's okay, but you probably don't know you're going to cool off. Looking at this year's book list, I guess you're just trying to make some money at Hogwarts and run away.

However, you may not be aware of the power of the curse formed by Voldemort's resentment, and it seems that none of the professors who became Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts had a good end.

"I've heard that the professor is a graduate of Ravenclaw College, our senior, and a skilled wizard." Penelope whispered to the eaglets around her, her tone sounding somewhat excited.

I think you'll be able to recognize him for what he is in the first lesson, Penelope.

It's not that William thinks Penelope will be obsessed with Lockhart, she won't be so irrational. The girl probably thinks that with such a senior from Ravenclaw College, Ravenclaw is bound to win the House Cup this year.

Penello, you're thinking too much. If you follow the original book, there will be no connection between Ravenclaw and the House Cup in recent years.

Fortunately, with me, this year's Academy Cup still needs to be well planned.

"There's one more thing I need to say." Dumbledore waited patiently until the applause in the Great Hall was over before continuing.

"Hurry up, I'm going to starve." Terry beside him muttered in a low voice.

"I noticed that many students learned about today's events through today's evening newspaper just now.

To be honest, I don't encourage this kind of risky behavior, and I don't want you to solve problems this way when they happen.

I hope that when you encounter this kind of thing, the first thing that comes to your mind is to contact the school, and you need to trust that we will take care of every little wizard who attends the school. ”

Lao Deng is still very right about this. After hearing this, William couldn't help but nod secretly, he felt that today's matter must be dealt with seriously.

Because if one is not handled well, it will have an impact on the atmosphere of Gryffindor, and if he can bring back this group of easy lion cubs in time, Dumbledore has nothing wrong with this.

"Next, let's have a feast!"

In an instant, the plate in front of him was full of slow food, and the golden goblet was also full of drink.

"Met Merlin's ghost! I'm dying of hunger. ”

William glanced at the starving ghost beside him, moved his body slightly outside, and sat away from Terry.

His eating appearance is really embarrassing!

William quietly paid attention to the teacher's chair in front of him, and not long after the banquet began, Snape walked in with a gloomy face, he first whispered a few words in Dumbledore's ear, and then talked to Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout on the side.

Then they quietly stood up from the teacher's seat and walked out of the auditorium quickly.

This must have happened to Harry!

These two fools drove directly into the beating willow, and they were very lucky not to be killed by it.

You know, these trees have always been known for their irascible nature, and they will attack anything that wakes them up until they are smashed to pieces.

It is a plant that gets up very much.

Professor Sprout must have gone to take care of the beating willow, after all, this is a rare master of herbology in the world.

It is worth mentioning that just a few days ago, in his correspondence with Ollivanders, the old staff maker also talked to William about the material of willow wood as the core of the staff.

He said that willow wood was an extremely rare wand wood with healing powers, and that wands made from them were not only suitable for casting healing spells, but also for Transfiguration and Silent Spells.

As a result, the old wizard mentioned that there would be a lot of confident guests who insisted on trying the willow wand, which was a very popular wand material.

However, in the same way, wands made of willow wood can be very demanding of their owners.

They will always choose wizards who have great potential,

However, the Willow is an exception to the Willow species, and although they can act as wands, they can be used as wands, but this makes the spell extremely difficult to control.

It is not a suitable wood for the rod.

If you want to make alchemy bombs in the future, or make gunpowder, and replace the charcoal inside with the material of beating willows, the effect should be quite significant.
