Chapter 112: Gretel Becomes a Professor

Today's weather is wonderful, and Hogwarts has a rare sunny day.

When you get off the train, you can see the night stars shining in the distant night sky.

It was also the most relaxed semester Harry had since he enrolled.

Ever since Gretel removed the fragments of Voldemort's soul from his body, his heart had been gloomy.

Coupled with his mother's meticulous care for a month, Harry has never felt more bright about the future than he does now.

As he got out of the car, Harry saw Hagrid, holding an oil lamp and asking the first-year students to gather towards him.

Even as a professor, Hagrid was an admissions guide for new students, and no one liked young wizards more than him.

Looking at a group of worried young wizards with worried faces on their faces, Harry thought of the time they had been enrolled in the ninety-first year.

At that time, like these new students, they also mixed longing and worrying in their hearts at the same time.

As they walked past the new students, they heard someone discuss, "I heard my brother say that the Sorting House has to fight a troll, and only successful people can study at Hogwarts. ”

"Really? What about that, I can't even kill a mouse. A little hairy man no taller than Harry's waist spurted his lips, his voice already tinged with a cry.

"What to do, my mother still thinks I can get a Ravenclaw, I heard that Mike Gretel, who defeated the mysterious man, graduated from Ravenclaw."

Voldemort's shadow over the wizarding world was heavy.

Even if he has been completely eliminated, Voldemort's name is no longer taboo.

These little wizards, who had been taught by their families not to call out that name since childhood, naturally continued to call him the Mystery Man.

Harry, Hermione and Ron smiled at each other when they heard the previous gossip, this scene happened to them at the time, some people said they were going to defeat the trolls, and some people said they were going to fight the dragons.

Thankfully, Hogwarts didn't intend to cause any teaching accidents, and didn't really do it.

Of all the people present, Harry was the only one who had stolen the dragon's golden egg in full view.

It's not so much an unwritten tradition at Hogwarts as it is a little joke that all the adults who have studied at Hogwarts have tacitly joined together to play a little joke on these ignorant little wizards.

This is their first lesson in unraveling the mysteries of Hogwarts, and it is sure to impress them even more.

Harry and his party weren't happy for long, and after hearing Gretel's name, they fell into an eerie silence.

I don't know who sighed, and all the people who knew Gretel well buried their heads in the Thestrals' carriage in the other direction.

Gretel, the most gifted student Hogwarts has ever been, and by far the most accomplished student.

He was also the first student to betray from Hogwarts.

Even Voldemort did not choose to turn his back on Hogwarts.

From the day Glitter left Hogwarts, Mike Gretel's name had become a new taboo for their group of old students.

It wasn't until she got into the carriage that Hermione suddenly said, "Harry, you say, will I ever see Gretel again?" I haven't decided with him yet! ”

However, it was clear that Hermione was not looking for an answer from Harry, she clenched her fists tightly, "By the way, it's a new school year, and you have to join my association." ”

Harry and Ron looked at each other and said in unison, "By the way, Ron (Harry), are you done with your holiday homework, I may need your help." ”

Hermione glanced at them helplessly, "It's not the House-Elf Association, it's the Wizards Mutual Aid Society, Gretel is right, each of us has the right to walk freely in the sun, provided that we have to fight for it." ”

"It's not the House-Elf Association, that's good," Harry and Ron patted their chests together, letting out a sigh.

They couldn't help but shudder at the thought of Hermione's madness when they felt that the house-elves had been enslaved and fought for their freedom.

Hearing that it was not the House-Elf Association, the two of them immediately relaxed, and instead, the two looked at each other and finally realized that something was wrong.

Wizard Mutual Aid? For the right to walk freely in the sun? Why does this sentence sound so familiar?

"Hermione, you can't do this," Harry said quickly, his voice a little hurried, and he lowered his voice and leaned his head over.

"Hermione, you don't know, this thing is dangerous, Gretel did this because he has the power to protect himself, you don't have the ability."

Seeing that Hermione was about to begin a tirade of persuasion against her, and someone cast curious glances at them, Harry hurriedly pulled Hermione to her knees.

"If you really want to do that, you can contact Gretel after you graduate, I have his latest contact information, but for now, don't be reckless."

Harry's turquoise pupils were filled with concern for Hermione.

After a long time, Hermione nodded helplessly, she accepted Harry's suggestion for the time being, but no one knew what was really in her heart.

——

The Thestrals traveled the Hogwarts road, much faster than the boats that the young wizards rode across the Black Lake.

They don't have to worry about their luggage as usual, and the house-elves are happy to serve their little masters who live at Hogwarts.

Sitting in the Thestrals, on one side is the towering castle and on the other side is the village of Hogsmeade, which can only be visited after the third year.

It was the largest gathering place for wizards outside of London, and even though it was late at night, you could still see the lights of Hogsmeade through the boundless darkness.

Every year's opening party is extremely festive, and if you think of Hogwarts as a big family, the admission of new students is like an import.

All were beaming with joy from head to toe.

It's just that this year's school year seems to be a little different.

Many of the houses were empty, most notably Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.

No way, most of the people Gretel took were from these two academies.

Gryffindors also had people join the Dawn, but not as many as the other two houses.

As for Slytherin?

Anyway, the majority of Slytherin people are from pure-bloods, and they naturally embrace the existing hermeticism in the wizarding world.

As long as the wizarding world remained closed for so long, it was impossible for their family's status to fall.

It wasn't unclear that Gretel hadn't thought about discovering some people from Slytherin to the Dawn, but after many attempts, Gretel gave up on the idea.

Most of the people who were able to attend Slytherin school had an ambition buried in their hearts, and they believed in victory first.

After Gretel realized this, Dawn temporarily gave up on wooing the Slytherin students.

It's not that Glitter discriminates against Slytherin, it's just that he doesn't want to spend that much energy.

If you can find treasure in the vault, why go to the garbage heap.

Besides, the Slytherin people also have a strong nature, and they don't need anyone to teach them about judging the situation.

As long as Dawning develops healthily and lastingly, they will naturally take refuge under Dawning's banner, which everyone at Dawning knows.

The carriage in which Harry and his party rode was not the fastest, and was even quite backward in the carriage queue.

As a result, they were almost the last to arrive at the dinner hall.

However, the closer he got to the hall, the more Harry felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and as was customary, the old students should be excited to discuss their holiday life.

Why did it seem so quiet today, and it made Harry feel that the cool breeze blowing from the Black Lake was three points colder.

Stepping into the hall and glancing his eyes to the professorship, Harry immediately understood why the group had settled down before Professor McGonagall came in to warn them.

Harry never imagined that one day he would see Glitter at Hogwarts.

He always thought that from then on, he and Glitter could only see each other on their mobile phones or in newspapers.

Who would have thought that not only did he meet Gretel at Hogwarts now, but Gretel's location was also the most prominent professorship.

Ron on the side was stunned, and it took a while to wake up from the shock, "My Merlin, I must be dreaming, Harry, wake me up!" ”

"Ron, you wake me up first, I suspect I'm dreaming now, probably because I miss Glitter too much, I've already started to have such bizarre dreams!"

Hermione gave them a blank look and took a few quick steps, and although she was equally surprised, she didn't act like these two big fools.

Glitter looked at Dumbledore with resentment, he thought he would be able to do the logistics work.

After finishing his work, he was able to continue to prostitute the Hogwarts library.

But who would have thought that Dumbledore would unite with Scrimgeour and give him the status of a professor, and he is still a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts for many years.

After learning the news, Gretel received several videos of Snape in a row.

Tried to swap Gretel's position as a Potions professor.

However, in the end, it was overruled by Dumbledore.

In Dumbledore's words, in the entire wizarding world now, who is more qualified to be the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts than Gretel, who killed Voldemort in a head-to-head duel.

When he saw Harry and them, Gretel instantly perked up and waved his hand to them enthusiastically.

He couldn't wait for the dinner to be over and find Harry.

Glitter was a little curious about how Harry's life had been in Spidertail Alley over the past month.

All he knew was that after Lily Evans was resurrected by him, Snape moved out of Hogwarts and settled near Spider's Tail Alley.

That's where he spent his childhood with Lily Evans.

Shortly after Snape moved back to Spider's Tail Alley, Harry went there as well.

The Evans family also had a house there.

Originally, the mother and son were supposed to return to Godric's Hollow, the old home of the Potter family, but later considered that Lily Evans was now just a soul and could not take good care of Harry.

In addition, after Voldemort was eliminated, Harry no longer needed the protection of his blood relatives.

After a final calculation, Lily took Harry back to the house that belonged to Evans' family.

She was confident that Severus would be able to take Harry well.

Glitter asked Snape about gossip, and after being poisoned several times in a row, he decided to ask Harry.

Regardless of whether you can eat melons or not, just say that you won't be poisoned, which is enough for Glitter to try it.

Once Harry sat down, he cast an inquiring look at the Weasley Twins.

These two brothers are well-deserved experts when it comes to inquiring about the news.

However, this time he could only be disappointed, because the professors at Hogwarts were only informed of the news by Dumbledore two days before the start of school.

Dumbledore found plenty of reasons for Gretel's return.

That is, in order to fight against the evil Voldemort, Gretel put on a big show for the wizarding world under his arrangement.

Of course, only fools would really believe this reason, but it was more or less a clearing of the way for Gretel to take over Hogwarts.

Originally, the professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts this year would be Dolores Umbridge's big pink toad.

After Moody left Hogwarts last year, Connally Fudge sent a message to Hogwarts on behalf of the Ministry of Magic.

If Hogwarts has not found a suitable Defence Against the Dark Arts professor before the start of the school year, then the Ministry of Magic will appoint the young wizard for the sake of education.

Dumbledore was anxious about this, he knew that Connery Fudge was worried about him, so the professor appointed by the Ministry of Magic must not have just come to Hogwarts to teach.

Coupled with the resurrection of Voldemort, the return of the Death Eaters, and the dawn on the sidelines, Dumbledore really couldn't spare his hands, and basically acquiesced to this matter.

But somehow, in the midst of the event, Glitter actually chose to turn against Voldemort.

And when everyone didn't react, the whole thing was nipped in the bud.

Connally Fudge, the original Minister of Magic, also fell, and Umbridge was able to become the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts because she was Fudge's confidant.

When the tree falls, the vines that live next to the tree will not survive.

In addition to slapping horses, Umbridge, who can't do anything serious, was naturally kicked out of the Ministry of Magic by Scrimgeur.

The established professorship has naturally become an empty agreement.

Glitter was able to safely become a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, but he was not opposed by Professor McGonagall, and he had nothing to do with Umbridge.

When Dumbledore announced this, Professor McGonagall expressed her concern that Gretel's arrival at Hogwarts would make a mess.

However, after seeing the stack that Dumbledore had photographed, there was information about Umbridge.

Professor McGonagall was relieved, after all, compared to a pink toad that would surely plague Hogwarts.

Gretel reassured her that at least, Glitter wouldn't discriminate against anyone at Hogwarts.

Just a fifteen-year-old professor, somewhat challenging the traditions of the wizarding world.

But Dumbledore insisted, and the new Minister of Magic also passed the approval.

Others can only pinch their noses and admit it.

Besides, Gretel, who defeated the mysterious man, is not something anyone can afford to mess with.

Those who really understand the power of the dawn are even less likely to take the lead in stirring up trouble.

In this way, the matter of Gretel being a professor was not able to make waves in the wizarding world for three more days, and he was completely silent.

One thing that everyone understands is that no one can afford to mess with Hogwarts' new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.
