Chapter 193: The New Teacher

Harry descended the marble staircase and made his way back to the Great Hall.

The auditorium was a sea of pointed black hats, and every long college table was filled with students, their faces glittering with thousands of candles floating above the tables.

Professor Flitwick, the Charms teacher, a small, gray-haired wizard, walked out of the Great Hall with a worn-out hat and a stool.

Hermione quickly caught up.

"I'd like to see the sorting ceremony. "She has some regrets.

Hermione's hand ran over her chest several times, as if something was hidden there.

They sat down, and many of the freshmen secretly looked at Harry.

If they thought Harry was a man of gentle integrity and admiration, they would be disappointed when they approached Harry with adoration.

The Headmaster began to speak, Dumbledore, with his silver-white hair and beard several feet long, wearing half-moon glasses, and a particularly crooked nose, he smiled and said, "Welcome back to Hogwarts, as is customary, I will take some time to talk to you about a few things, one of which is very important." ”

Dumbledore cleared his throat and said, "Our school currently has a few Dementors from Azkaban, who have been sent by the Ministry of Magic on official business, as you all already know, because they have "searched" the Hogwarts Express, and I hope it doesn't leave a bad impression on you, especially for the new students. ”

"There are a lot of them, stationed at every entrance to the school, and there are a lot of Dementors roaming the sky. Dumbledore continued, "I must make it clear that no one is allowed to leave the school while they are there. Dementors don't understand excuses and begs for mercy, so I remind all of you, especially first-year students, that I understand the novelty of your first encounter with magic, and that you're curious about everything, but don't let them justify hurting you. ”

Everyone looked at the stern Dumbledore, and no one in the Great Hall moved or made a sound.

He said lightly, "But don't worry, I'll ask the Ministry of Magic to send these annoying guys back to Azkaban as soon as possible." Next, I would like to introduce you to two of our new teachers. ”

"First of all, it's Professor Lupin, who, at my invitation, agrees to fill the void in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class. ”

The applause was dismal, and the Slytherin were even more disdainful of Lupin, whose tattered and patched robes made them laugh at the poorest professor at Hogwarts.

The other teachers were wearing their best robes, and Professor Lupin looked even more ragged as he sat next to them.

Professor Snape stared at Lupin, his thin yellow face twitching, not angry, but hateful.

Harry sighed silently, there was still a pair of difficult enemies.

"As for our second new teacher, I'm sorry to inform you that our Conservation of Magical Beasts teacher, Professor Kettleburn, retired at the end of last semester, but I'm happy to announce that his position will be filled by none other than Rubeus Hagrid, who has agreed to take on the role of gamekeeper in addition to his duties as a gamekeeper. ”

In the last semester, Harry's evidence fully proved that Hagrid was wronged and had nothing to do with the Chamber of Secrets, and the Ministry of Magic naturally did not prohibit Hagrid from using his wand, and at the same time, Dumbledore fully confirmed that Voldemort had made Horcruxes, and that the diary was by no means a simple memory, it was an independent soul. Until then, he was only skeptical. The former headmaster of Hogwarts, who was eager to cover up the incident in the secret room, used Hagrid as a scapegoat and fired, but unfortunately he is dead, otherwise I don't know if his conscience will be condemned, but presumably not...... As for the wrong decision made by the Ministry of Magic forty years ago, it was only a document to tell Hagrid that he could use his wand, and then there was no other indication, hehe......

Hagrid, on the other hand, was as happy as a child getting candy......

Hagrid's applause was many times louder than Lupin's, and the students of the other three houses were not without a favorable opinion of Hagrid, with the exception of the Slytherin students who were scolding the air and their eyes were always turning upward.

Because Hagrid has a good reputation, when Filch was there before, there were many punishments for helping Hagrid deal with some things, and they could feel Hagrid's kindness and sincerity, although they were all frightened by his huge body at first.

Hagrid's face flushed, his eyes lowered to his big hands, and a big smile hidden behind his unkempt black beard, Hagrid quietly wiped his eyes with a tablecloth.

"By the way, because of Filch's departure, the school has found a new administrator, but rest assured, she will not punish you excessively like Filch, she is a very kind lady, and she will be patient enough to deal with your mistakes. I hope that under her teaching, you will be more mature. Because she herself has some things going on, she can't attend tonight's banquet and it may take a few days to get to school. Also, I think some of the school's rules should have changed, so the prohibition of using magic in the hallway can be removed, so I wish you all fun, but if the school is damaged, you will have to pay compensation......"

The students were stunned for a moment, cheering, the glass was about to shatter, and there was even a whistle, and it was estimated that they didn't hear Dumbledore's last words.

The freshmen looked at the tall and mysterious seniors in their hearts in ignorance, cheering excitedly and clapping their high-fives.

We don't know anything, and we don't dare ask.

had to obediently "snap" applause.

An upperclassman excitedly grabbed a first-year student next to him and said, "Merlin, you really don't know how lucky you are......

The two looked at each other.

Confirm the eyes and meet the right person......

This is the UK, one of the most "passionate" countries.

"Well, that's all for the important things. Dumbledore said, "Let's have a feast!"

The golden plates and goblets in front of them suddenly appeared full of food and drink, a delicious feast, and the auditorium reverberated with laughter and the clashing of knives and forks.

It makes people ignore the unhappiness of encountering the Dementors not long ago and the irritability caused by the gloomy weather.

After finishing the meal, the students left one after another, ready to go back to the dormitory buildings of various colleges to rest.

The first-year students were led by their prefects so that they would not get lost by stepping on the spiral staircase.

"Thank you, Harry. Hagrid's eyes were still red: "You helped me, and Dumbledore, who was willing to let me teach you as a teacher...... I...... I'm just worried about whether I'll make a mistake tomorrow...... This is my first time as a teacher......"

Hagrid was actually very immature, he had few friends, and he was just a small child.

Harry comforted, "Don't worry, you will definitely be a good teacher of magical creatures, and no one will think that you are doing a bad job." ”

He glanced faintly at Slytherin.
