Chapter 248: Professor

Normally, wizards who are qualified to become Hogwarts professors have a high social status.

Although the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor has been a scarce resource for decades, and Dumbledore has a headache for a new professor every year, he never lowers his requirements - Lockhart is an exception, those books Dumbledore has read, and there is still some real stuff between the lines, but who would have thought that he was a memory thief?

None of them will be short of money.

Lupin was an exception, capable, but only capable and nothing else until he met Harry and returned to Sirius. As a result, he had to choose the same mode of transport as his students.

"We have to meet the new professor at the beginning of the school year?" Ron muttered.

"You want to see him so much?" Harry asked.

Ron nodded, "Of course, haven't you heard Remus, Sirius, and Tonks all this time?" ”

"They praised the new professor so much, especially in the current form, that he can teach people how to protect themselves."

Harry and Hermione opened their mouths, but stopped talking.

"Seems like he's really good at protecting himself?" Hermione hesitated, "That year, after all. ”

"The body is very good." Harry nodded, "And he'll have to prepare for class." ”

Hermione's eyes lit up: "Then it's perfect, make up for the piece he lacks the most." ”

Ron listened in a fog: "What, what, you know who the professor is?" Remus or Sirius told you? ”

He was a little aggrieved: "I begged many times, but they didn't tell me. ”

"They didn't tell us either." Harry spoke.

"We guessed it." Hermione continued.

Ron was shocked: "Can this be guessed?" ”

"There aren't many people who qualify to be Hogwarts professors." Harry analyzed for him and cleared his mind, "He has a very good relationship with Lupin and Tonks, there are even fewer people like this, and he can still get their praise"

"Pointing to whom? Actually, it's quite obvious. ”

Ron thought with a frown.

"Mrs. Vance?" Soon, a conjecture was spewed out that this was the lady who had accompanied Harry and Sirius back to the Potter's mansion last time.

What they got was Harry and Hermione shaking their heads.

"That's Mr. Digo?" He spat out another name, Dedalo Degot, a member of the Order of the Phoenix, who had a lot of respect for Harry, was powerful, and could even use advanced magic to summon a large meteor shower - he had done it in Kent on the day Voldemort died, and a large meteor shower had made astronomers swoon, and he didn't observe it; It also startled the Ministry of Magic, and thought it was the Death Eaters fighting back.

He and Sirius were very good friends.

Molly has lamented more than once that Dedalo and Sirius are simply half-brothers, equally young, equally handsome, equally possessing excellent magical abilities, and, most importantly, equally brainless.

Harry and Hermione vetoed it again.

Ron was serious, and he sent Lavender, who had come to visit, and Ginny and Luna, who came hand in hand to greet herβ€”Molly and Arthur had told Ginny several times that she must be good friends with Luna, or at least not be bullied again.

What's the trouble, look for George and Fred. It's their last year at Hogwarts, and it's time for them to shine.

The train is gradually arriving at the station.

Ron was startled and took a deep breath, "Could it be my dad?" ”

The salary of the Ministry of Magic is not high, far inferior to Hogwarts, not to mention the social status, how can the small office director be as tall as the Hogwarts professor, and several brothers are now surpassing him in income and social status, maybe the father has a sense of urgency, and was persuaded by Professor Dumbledore.

As for the ability

Mr. Arthur just seems to be mediocre and has a little worse combat experience, but in terms of magic level, maybe Scrimgeour is worse than him, at least he has no problem in alchemy, and he has no problem calling him a master.

"It's not." Harry shook his head.

Ron breathed a sigh of relief: "Really, not? ”

"Not really." Hermione emphasized.

Ron stroked his chest, "That's good, that's great." ”

It was a strange feeling for a parent to become his own professor, and he felt uncomfortable even just thinking about it.

They changed into robes.

"But if it's not even my father, who else can it be?" Ron snapped his fingers, thinking about the people he had seen after the reorganization of the Order of the Phoenix, except for his two older brothers, who were still working abroad, almost all of them had reported up.

"You'll find out later." Harry replied as he stepped off the train.

Ron gritted his teeth, did he have to wait until the school dinner?

Hagrid greets new students as always, and even as a professor, he has a part-time job on him.

Harry, they followed the path to the Thestrals.

Luna and Ginny had already arrived, and they stood on their feet to say hello.

"Harry, Hermione, I've handed over Luna to you." Ginny pushed the girl in her hand forward, "I have a lot of friends, and the carriage can't fit her." ”

Luna nodded obediently, without any mood swings.

She could feel that Ginny didn't have any feelings of dislike for herself, just that she cared about the feelings of her friends.

Harry, of course, they had no problem and got into the carriage together.

"So, who will be this year's Defence Against the Dark Arts professor?" Ron looked at Harry, "We'll be at the castle in ten minutes at most, tell me." ”

"Little Ronnie, you don't know?" Luna looked at him.

Ron was shocked: "You know that too? ”

Luna nodded, then looked at Harry again, "Shall I say it?" ”

Harry waved his hand, "Say whatever you want, it's not a secret. ”

"Then I won't talk about it." Luna shrunk back and squeezed into the backrest.

Ron was a little distracted and looked at her puzzled: "You guessed it too?" ”

"No, Dad told me." Luna shook her head, "He told me to be careful, but I think he's a good guy." ”

Ron frowned, "Mr. Lovegood knows the new professor too?" ”

Luna nodded.

Ron rubbed his face, trying to remember if he had overlooked someone who didn't have a high sense of existence.

Hermione chattered with Luna, she was interested in Ravenclaw, the Sorting Hat had suggested that she go to Ravenclaw, and he was interested in the collection of books that took up the whole common room. Luna was as detailed as she could, and Hermione listened attentively.

Soon before the castle, they got out of the carriage and went into the castle.

As soon as Ron looked up, he saw Sirius, who was in the teacher's chair, chatting happily with Professor Flitwick - it was the most comfortable vacation Flitwick had in years, his face was ruddy, and he looked like he had gained a little weight.

"It's Sirius!" Ron called out his name incredulously.

In the teacher's chair, the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor waved happily at them.

"It's Sirius." Ron responded to him until he sat down, a look of disbelief on his face.

He hadn't thought it would be Sirius, after all, he was the one who praised the new professor the hardestβ€”who would have thought he would be so self-defeating.

"Why can't it be him?" Harry asked him rhetorically, "You should have thought of that." ”

"Sirius has experience." Hermione whispered, "He's taught Remus a class, and although the style is different, it's also very popular with the students, and the results are good. ”

Ron was resentful: "If he hadn't boasted about himself so much, I think I would have thought of it a long time ago." ”

The freshmen soon came in and were divided into houses under Professor McGonagall's arrangement.

"Harry, remember to take me!" The Sorting Hat on the barstool slammed into the Gryffindor table, and the spirit on it vanished in an instant, apparently returning to the body of the motorcycle.

The freshmen looked at Harry in confusion.

Harry waved his wand, and the hat flew and slung expertly around his waist.

The old students and the new wizards explained.

The dinner went on happily, and the last person had eaten his fill.

Dumbledore stood up and coughed lightly, "After a delicious dinner, I think I'll have to repeat what I say every year." ”

"Mr. Filch, before school started this year, I was told again and again not to use magic in the hallways, not to use the tricks of the Weasley brothers joke workshop, and not to set off fireworks that were very polluting."

"Last year, when the Triwizard Tournament was held, Mr. Filch had to work hard every day to clean up the fireworks."

"The new list of contraband is posted on the door of Mr. Filch's office, and you can take a look at it, and there are more than a hundred new items added this year."

George and Fred were dissatisfied.

This is cutting off their financial means.

The Weasley Brothers Joke Workshop is only about 20 items now, so don't think about it, it's definitely all on the list.

"Also, there was a change in our faculty this year, Professor Moody was excellent, but the Ministry of Magic recalled him to further train the Aurors in a turbulent situation, so we welcomed Sirius Black, who will take over the Defence Against the Dark Arts course."

Sirius stood up.

His appearance is very charming, his hair is casually groomed, slightly curly and scattered, a pair of gray eyes, exuding a distinctive deep temperament, wearing a navy blue robe that matches the color of his eyes, and the whole person is the brightest star in the teacher's seat.

The Gryffindors applauded enthusiastically, and they had a good relationship with the veteran during the Triwizard Tournament.

The applause from several other colleges was a little hesitant.

Not to mention the controversy in Blake, he was once a wanted criminal in the Ministry of Magic.

Outwardly, it was undoubtedly the most handsome Defence Against the Dark Arts professor they had ever seen - and the last professor who was also good-looking, his name was "Gilderoy Lockhart".

"On top of that, there's good news, the Quidditch Cup is back this year!"

"The selection will begin in the second week of school, and hopefully all the faculties will be ready."

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

"Let's start a new school year!"
