Chapter 17 Kill the Headmaster's Office and Take the Bird's Seat
After a feast, it's time for dessert with truffle cakes, chocolate muffins, wine jam pudding, ice creams and ice cream assassins that are too easy to touch in the store......
Dumbledore stood up again, and the Great Hall grew quiet, and he looked around and smiled:
"I know that everyone is a little sleepy and anxious to get back to the warm bed, but I still hope that you can concentrate and listen to me, an old man, and nag a few words about the precautions for the new semester."
"The forest near the school is closed to all students, it is very dangerous, whether it is our old students or first-year students, we must be aware of it."
Rove raised his eyebrows, as the saying goes, if you haven't been to the Forbidden Forest, you haven't been to Hogwarts.
If it's not for those cuties in the Forbidden Forest, who will go to Hogwarts?
Is it bad for Rove to go to Ilvermorny?
It was only as soon as this thought arose that Rove keenly noticed that Dumbledore glanced at him, intentionally or unintentionally, although it was just a dragonfly's gaze, which quickly swept by, but he still caught it carefully.
No...... Must be looking at Neville, Rove is an honest kid of the Scamanders, and won't be particularly noticed!
"Also, Mr. Filch, the administrator, wants me to remind everyone not to cast magic in the hallways between classes, as if they are discovered, the house score will be deducted."
This time Dumbledore glanced at the Weasley twins.
The brothers were very self-aware, and knew that the headmaster was talking about themselves, so they complained quietly, both in and out of dissatisfaction with Dumbledore's natural way of suppressing the students.
He also said that Dumbledore was an obstacle to quality education, a stumbling block to happy magic, and that he should have abdicated to give way to the vice-principal...... Yunyun.
After all, how can there be a vice president in the world for 20 years?
It seems that at the first order of Professor McGonagall, the twins are willing to lead their horses and kick them, and kill them in the principal's office......
Take the bird's seat and make Professor McGonagall Headmaster!
The Weasley brothers were not loud, but they were piercing in the quiet of the auditorium, and they could reach everyone's ears very clearly.
Professor McGonagall's face darkened and darkened, and she really didn't teach it!
These two little bastards!!
Dumbledore smiled as usual and continued:
"The Quidditch player review will also take place in the second week of the term. Students interested in participating in the House's Quidditch team should contact Lady Hooch. ”
When it comes to Quidditch selection, the Quidditch captains of all houses are gearing up and preparing to recruit for the new semester.
As the Quidditch captain of Hufflepuff, Truman has yet to lead the team to a Quidditch trophy, but they finished runners-up last year and are still the favourites to win the championship this year with a complete squad.
The little badgers also looked at Truman affectionately: "Captain, take us to rush again!" (crying)
Gryffindor Quidditch captain Charlie Weasley graduated two months ago and went to Romania to raise dragons, and the new captain is Oliver Wood.
Without Big Brother, Wood has to carry the load, so he's ready to start training early tomorrow morning.
Captain Charlie used to be too indulgent, not strong enough, not tough enough, and this group of little lions had to be whipped with a small leather whip before they ∩could be tough.
Although it has not been five years in a row to win the Quidditch Cup, Wood is convinced that this year is the most promising year again!
Aiming for the overall championship!!
Ravenclaw's captain, Roger Davis, was not so excited, their academy was a historical-level weak team, and he led the team to the top four year after year, and he was really tired.
Davis would love to transfer to Hufflepuff, which eliminated them last year...... If you can't beat it, join it, there's no shame.
The Slytherin martial arts team is the most excited, Captain Marcus Flint's big elbow, who has been training bigger and stronger in the summer, and he can't beat the elbow!
"The last ......," Dumbledore's gaze swept over everyone.
"I must remind everyone that if you don't want to suffer an accident, pain or even death, please do not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor...... It's an absolute no-go zone! ”
No one laughed, except for the Gryffindor students, many of the lion cubs took Dumbledore's admonition as a challenge.
"Alright, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!" Dumbledore exclaimed.
The smiles of all the teachers, especially Professor Snape, froze as if it was going to be another three minutes of darkness.
Dumbledore flicked his wand, and a long ribbon of gold flew out of it, twisting like a snake over the high dining table.
"Each person chooses their favorite tune." Dumbledore said, "Ready, sing!" ”
All teachers and students sang loudly:
Hogwarts,
Hogwarts,
Hogwarts,
Hogwarts,
Teach us knowledge,
Whether we're old people with a dead head or a kid with a knee fall, our minds can take in something interesting.
Because now our minds are empty,
Filled with air,
Dead flies and trivialities,
Teach us some valuable knowledge and take what we have forgotten,
Give it back to us,
As long as you do your best, he will be given to us.
We will study hard,
until it turns into dung......
Everyone sang the school song in a scattered manner, including rock, hip-hop, country, singing, dancing, rap, electronic music, and ...... Dumb words!
Varied, competing for beauty.
In the end, when everyone sings, only the Weasley twin brothers do not finish, and continue to sing to the melody of "Funeral March".
"Professor Quirrell, it seems that George Weasley and Fred Weasley like you very much!" Dumbledore looked kind and kind.
"With a cheerful, cheerful tune, they welcome you back!"
Cheerful...... Quirrell's face stiffened, isn't this a funeral feast?
"Professor Quirrell, I think you've accumulated enough practical experience to handle the Defense Against the Dark Arts position, right?" The smile on Dumbledore's face grew kinder.
"Yes...... Be...... Professor Dumbledore. Quirrell stammered, "I'll ...... Do this job well...... Won't let you down......"
"Don't be nervous, I'm optimistic about you too." The old man waved his hand, smiled, and wrote lightly: "I really hope that this time next year, I can still sit with you and listen to this song."
Music is more glamorous than everything we do. ”
“……”
At the end of the song, all the students stood up and, led by the prefect, walked towards their respective houses.
Instead of following the badger's party to Hufflepuff House, Rove followed behind the Gryffindor team's butt.
The entrance to the Gryffindor lounge is on the eighth floor, as is the entrance to the principal's office, and Rove ...... I don't know the way.
Just drop by.
However, Gryffindor's team soon ran into big trouble, and Peeves, who had not been able to attend the dinner, attacked the first-year students on the way in retaliation.
He floated in mid-air, first using a trap set in advance to stop the senior students from approaching, and then constantly throwing water bombs into the first-year crowd.
The water bomb exploded, and the icy water sprayed out, soaking the clothes of many young wizards, turning them into soup chickens.
"Haha, the big fool of the first grade, eat your Uncle Pee's shot!"
Several more water bombs fell, and Harry and Ron frantically dodged, slamming into each other and falling to the ground.
Then there was a bang, and the water bomb smashed on the top of the two of them, popping and splashing countless small droplets.
Harry wiped the water from his face, his robes were already soaking wet, and his shoes were almost full of small fish.
Ron sat on the ground and said angrily, "No one can take care of this guy?!"
Percy wipes his broken prefect badge every day, where did the people run away at the critical moment? ”
Not far away, Hermione raised her wand and tried to cast a spell to drive Peeves away, but to no avail, and instead received a more violent blow.
The little girl was a little depressed, she found that the spell she had memorized during the summer vacation seemed to be really useless!
If Rove were here, he would be able to drive away Peeves, right?
At this moment, in the dim corridor, a blonde boy carried a flickering oil lamp, walking slowly against the crowd.
"Cover everyone's ears!"
Rove's voice reached everyone's ears, and everyone listened to it in a daze, for some reason, but Hermione had already hurriedly covered her ears.
When the others saw this, they did the same.
"Piercing loud voice!" Rod's mouth suddenly let out a shrill hissing sound like a wicked bird.
The hissing sound seemed to whine and whimper, and it was disgusting and terrifying to listen to.
Peeves was startled, and with a muffled grunt, like a balloon deflated, it spun in a forward arc, followed by a dull crash against the wall, and it bounced back and forth between the walls of the hallway like a spinning top.
At last, a pig-killing wail rang out, and Peeves cried out with a terrible cry as if he had died of his father's mother:
"I'll definitely be back!"
The little wizards of Gryffindor all looked at the blonde boy with a daze, and their hearts swayed as the light in his hand flickered.

(PS Regarding the entrance to Dumbledore's office, there is a bug in the original book.)
In the Goblet of Fire, it is stated that the entrance to the Headmaster's office is on the third floor of the castle, and the original text reads, "Harry took three steps and two steps up the stone steps, passed through two oak gates, jumped up the marble staircase, and ran towards the third floor, where he sped towards a stone monster erected in the center of the empty hallway." ”
In the half-blood prince, it is repeatedly mentioned that the entrance to the headmaster's office is located on the eighth floor of the castle. Considering the number of references to the eighth floor, and the fact that the Room of Requirement was located on the eighth floor of the castle, Dumbledore said that he had accidentally found it to be a luxury bathroom while looking for a toilet.
Therefore, in this novel, it is agreed that the entrance to the principal's office is located on the eighth floor of the castle.)
