Chapter 9: Here He Comes, He Comes
Weston was busy, really busy. Substitute teaching is even counted, but I didn't expect that I still need to prepare for class! This is a real life, all 7th grade courses need to be prepared, and it is a semester course! Potions and review classes are like this!
In addition to these, he also needs to understand the responsibilities and powers of the dean, and how to deal with emergencies and so on.
In this regard, Weston looked at Dumbledore with a little resentment more than once.
"What's wrong, our genius boy? Do you want some cockroach piles? Dumbledore asked with a smile as he shoved the cockroach-shaped candy that was still moving into his mouth.
"No-need-to-need, thank-thanks!" Weston gritted his teeth in reply, holding back his churning stomach.
"Ah, you're going to miss out on a lot of food, trust me!" Dumbledore said with a smile.
Phew, you old bee, it's bad! Weston "blessed" fiercely in his heart, if there are any real cockroaches crawling in, you will definitely be happier!
Well, such a daily routine is always full of warmth....... Maybe.
As for whether Weston's "blessing" was finally fulfilled, no one knows, but maybe the reason why Dumbledore was able to eat all the Bibi Beans was because of his experience?
It's the day of school, and Weston has received another important task - the branch!
"Shouldn't this be Professor McGonagall's mission?" Weston asked, a little unpleasantly.
"Kid, you need to be more caring for the professors!" Dumbledore smiled and said, "After all, Professor McGonagall is not too young, and he should be taken care of, shouldn't he?" ”
"So, you found me?" Weston glared at Dumbledore with a pair of dead fish eyes, and said in a strange way, "That's a great idea!" ”
"Aha, I'm glad you thought so, kid!" Dumbledore looked very happy, "I knew you would agree with me!" ”
I just know it's you! Weston complained fiercely in his heart.

"Professor Delacour, the first-year students are here!" Hagrid looked down at Weston.
"Thank you, Hagrid!" Weston nodded at him.
"Nothing, the duty!" Hagrid shook his head, "Then I'll go first!" With that, Hagrid nodded to Weston again and turned to leave.
Looking at the group of beans below who were at a loss, Weston suddenly had a feeling that time was passing so fast. At the beginning, I was also enrolled at such a big age, and in the blink of an eye, I was about to graduate from here in two years.
Fortunately, he still remembered his mission, quickly collected his thoughts, looked at the children, smiled and said the welcome speech he had prepared:
"Welcome to Hogwarts, an ancient school of magic that has been passed down for thousands of years! First of all, I want to congratulate you on coming to what is recognized as the best school of magic in the entire wizarding world.
Here, you can learn powerful and gorgeous spells, as well as mysterious and complex potions, and many more, Hogwarts will not keep any lessons for you, as long as you are willing to work hard!
There are some of the best professors in the UK and the world, who will fill your brain with their life's work, if only you get their approval. Of course, no professor would refuse a hard-working student with a thirst for magic! ”
"Can we get your approval, Professor?" A little girl asked boldly.
"Oh? It's not easy to get my approval! Weston glanced at the little girl who looked a little out of the crowd, "But, if you could, I wouldn't mind having one more student!" ”
"I will, Professor Delacour!" The little girl said confidently.
"Well, maybe I should bless you!" Weston smiled and nodded at her.
Afterwards, Weston said the plus and minus points, and let them wait in the side hall. Seeing that everything in the hall was ready, Weston didn't stop and brought in all the new students.
The Sorting Hat finished singing its elaborate song, and Weston began his Sorting business.
Unlike the first-year freshmen, the students above the second-year students knew that Weston's identity was just a student, and they all opened their mouths in surprise when they saw that Weston was presiding over the sorting ceremony this time.
Of course, these students do not include Slytherin students.
Pure-blood families have their own channels, and most of them are members of the Hogwarts Board of Trustees, and Weston has long known about being the acting head of Slytherin and the substitute professor of Potions, so they don't show much surprise.
However, the little snakes were still very happy to see that Weston had really begun to preside over the sorting ceremony, and their eyes also showed a look of anticipation.
After two years of review, Weston's name has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Slytherin, the only student of his own head, and at the same time a good genius of various families, and the future president of the Magic Guild...... The aura plus strength can also help you improve, how can the little snakes not be convinced!
The sorting ceremony was soon over, and after Weston placed the parchment and the sorting hat on the podium, he was about to go down when Dumbledore shouted, "Professor Delacour, your place is here!" ”
Is it really good to be so high-profile? Weston thought as he sat down in his place.
"Welcome!" Dumbledore stood up, "There's only one thing I want to say to you right now, and that's - eat!" ”
The dinner began, and unlike the new students' amazement at the food and house-elves at Hogwarts, the attention of the old students was more on Weston.
Except for the Slytherin students, who were eating quietly, the rest of the houses were talking about Weston. Word broke that Weston had become the acting head of Slytherin.
Feeling the casual gazes of the students, Weston calmly continued to eat. By this time, he had calmed down.
Could it be that there is really some magic in this position on the rostrum that can make people's skin thicker?
"Welcome again!" Dumbledore stood up, "I think your stomachs are full by now. Before I get into your warm bed, I'm afraid I still need to listen to a few words from an old man like me. ”
"First of all, I'm sorry to inform you that last year's Defence Against the Dark Arts professor resigned due to marriage, and our Professor Snape took a leave of absence as a result. However, Mr. Delacour, as a student of Professor Snape, very graciously acceded to my request to take the position of Head of Slytherin and Professor of Potions. ”
"In the meantime, let's welcome the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor - Gilderoy Lockhart!"
it! Weston's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked to the other side of the podium, and his eyes hurt a little because of the row of small white teeth......
