0182 Stagnant water
On the last day of October, the overcast sky was approaching the ground, and the cool breeze seemed to be interested in what was inside people's clothes, scrambling to drill down the collar at every opportunity, and the sudden drop in temperature made it tempting to shrink one's head into one's robes.
There is no need to rush to class today, and the little ones in the first and second grades need to put in more effort to break the seal of the warm bed.
Students from the third grade onwards were ready to go early—they could spend the whole day at Hogsmeade.
As the youngest professors at Hogwarts, Ani and Bill naturally took on the task of caring for the students, and this year's Dean was Professor Sprout.
When it came to checking the list, the four little ones in the second year were the happiest: Antonin Goldstein, Justin Finchlie, Draco Malfoy, and first assistant Hermione Granger.
As excellent tool helpers, they always get more preferential treatment from Aini, and after receiving a letter of guarantee from the Transfiguration professor, the four second-year students stepped out of Hogwarts openly.
Instead of picking new assistants in the first year, Ennie let the four Hermione take charge of the lower grades, and the professor didn't care if they hired assistants or not.
This is part of Aini's plan.
In the future, he will not interfere in the selection of teaching assistants among the freshmen, and leave them all to the four of them, which can not only cultivate their ability to do things, but also allow several people to establish their prestige.
After a few years, it will be possible to use this as a skeleton to build a Transfiguration Society, making learning more efficient and the professor's work easier.
"It's my first time in Hogsmeade, and it's amazing."
Justin excitedly looked at the scenery in front of him, which was completely different from his own neighborhood, and was about to pull his friends in to play, the boy from the Muggle world had always been the most active of the four.
"Wait a minute, Justin, we're here after all, and we should say hello to the professor before we are free."
Antonin grabbed the stunned guy and turned his head to gesture forward, where the three professors were chatting happily.
If you were to review Hogwarts, the most desirable character would be the headmaster, who had many titles, and the most popular among young wizards would definitely be the humorous, unscrupulous Filius Flitwick.
The strictest professor is up for debate, with both McGonagall and Snape likely to make the list, and when it comes to the most generous professor, it is Pomona Sprout.
Whether it's for the young wizards or for a young professor like Anie, Head Hufflepuff is a kind and amiable elder who goes out of her way to support the younger ones, and she is also more tolerant of others.
Even if few people can think of complimenting her, Pomona's name never appears in the slander of others.
「…… It's a pity you weren't there that day, and I guess I must have been dumbfounded." br>
Professor Sprout is indeed a gentle and kind person, and it is always herself who makes a fool of herself in her jokes, and it is hard not to be happy to talk to such a person.
Aini and Bill laughed as they stayed next to Pomona, but the sensitivity allowed him to hear the students' interactions, and they waved their hands behind them, motioning for them to play on their own.
Speaking of which, Antonin Goldstein has a special relationship with Aini, and the boy's family is a distant relative of Tina, well, the very distant kind.
This child has a calm that does not meet his age, he usually talks very little, but almost every sentence will be to the point, and he respects his teachers and abides by the rules, and he is a typical good student in the eyes of teachers.
"Filius, we're old friends, and Minerva, Patisida, ......."
Pomona counted the few people who had been at Hogwarts for a long time, "I was a little girl when I entered Hogwarts, and the Sorting Hat almost stuck to my head before I called out Hufflepuff."
Professor Sprout talks very happily and is happy whenever she is surrounded by children.
"Bill too, every Weasley kid is a Gryffindor
They never hesitated to wear that hat, but unfortunately Ani didn't come to school, otherwise Hogwarts would probably have one more 'hat embarrassment'."
In her opinion, this excellent junior has the characteristics of four houses, and I am afraid that the Sorting Hat will have a hard time judging.
"I wanted to go to school here, too, and on my eleventh birthday the whole family waited for the owl from Hogwarts, but I didn't get the notification until the early hours of the next morning."
Aini spread his hands, and to be honest, he was still unhappy about it for a while.
Newt also came to Hogwarts to check the records, and his name was indeed not on the book of access.
"You didn't become a student, but you became a professor."
Pomona said with a smile, she was very satisfied with the two juniors around her, the same talented, the same courteous and polite, and also very good at teaching, both of them are very good successors.
The only pity is that neither of the two of them can fall into his own hands, Ani needless to say, Dumbledore's intentions are almost written on his face.
Bill was going to take Flitwick's class, and even if he didn't end up being the head of Ravenclaw, there was still the Lion House waiting.
However, this does not diminish Pomona's admiration for Bill, who is not a very utilitarian person.
While she had a good conversation with Ani, she had been keeping an eye on Bill, and the young man was a little depressed during this time, but the lady was not a gossip person, and since the other party had not asked for help from her, Professor Sprout would not inquire about other people's private affairs.
But she didn't just watch from the sidelines.
Pomona talked a lot today, just to drag Bill into the topic and help him soothe his mood.
Now it seems that the effect is not bad, although Bill does not say much, but there is a smile on his face.
If only the new professors were like the two of them.
With a sigh in her heart, Pomona's mind flashed Lockhart's face, the always generous lady of the dean was rarely bored with a person, but that guy was really a strange.
It's just that she doesn't like to talk nonsense about people behind her back, otherwise there will be one more topic now.
But it's really a little strange, that guy was actually absent from the group activities today, you must know that Lockhart never misses the opportunity to appear in front of people, even if he often shows his face and is ridiculed for failure, he is still happy to do it.
Of course, Lockhart also wanted to take the opportunity of coming to Hogsmeade to interact with the young wizards, but he had more important things to do today.
While most of the students had gone to Hogsmeade, Lockhart slipped to the second floor, and after making sure that there was no one left and right, he broke open the closed door and entered Myrtle's bathroom.
Ever since the bathroom was sealed, Myrtle has been resident in the boys' prefect's bathroom, which has made Lockhart less troublesome.
Or rather, it made little Tom less troublesome.
By this time, he had taken over Lockhart's body, and he opened the entrance and jumped in.
Finally feeling alive again, little Riddle greedily breathed the real air......
Ahem, the taste is a little rushed.
But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that it won't be long before you can actually have a new body.
In the high-speed glide, little Tom's heart soared, and the secret room was ahead!
There, will be the place where you are reborn, there......
"Puff~"
After the sound of a heavy object falling into the water, "Lockhart" spat out a string of bubbles with a confused expression.
There......
Ponding......
