Chapter 31: This Is Our Gryffindor!
Knowing that he was not welcome, the pink toad still performed cheekily for a long time, and finally sat back in his seat.
Professor Dumbledore listened intently the whole time, but the other professors didn't give Umbridge any good looks.
Professor McGonagall's dark eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and the lion turned into an eagle in a short time.
Professor Snape sneered unabashedly, and every student below could notice his impatience.
Even the good old Professor Flitwick had begun to admire his wand, and for the first time a look of impatience appeared on his face.
Occasionally, when he glanced at Umbridge, there was a palpable hatred in his eyes.
This is a very unusual thing, considering that Professor Flitwick has always been the best-grumpy professor in all of Hogwarts, even better than Professor Sprout.
Professor Sprout occasionally gets angry at his students for not cherishing herbs, but no one has ever seen Professor Flitwick angry.
As for the students, the group of young wizards were already lying on the table doing their own thing, and their attention had drifted to Avalon.
Except for the fact that everyone was serious when Umbridge said that he was going to censor the professors, and at the same time excitedly fantasized that the professors they hated would be censored, who would listen to such a boring speech?
When Umbridge finally sat down, Professor Dumbledore was the first to applaud, but the others only slapped it once or twice before putting their hands down.
"Very good speech," Professor Dumbledore said, with the usual look on his face.
"It reminds me of the time when I first became principal......"
I have to say that the principal is the principal, and the boring speech of the pink toad before can be said by him.
So otherwise, why would someone be the principal? It's called leveling!
After singing the school song, the opening dinner finally ended.
This year, Hallie can't just take a shortcut back to the common room with Hermione.
As prefect, she must guide the new students to the Gryffindor Tower.
And seeing Neville's panicked and somewhat unconfident look, Harley felt that she probably had to take on all the work herself.
When Hallie first entered the school, it was the Prefect Percy who was in charge of guiding the new Gryffindor students.
However, Percy's guidance was really boring, and he didn't make any superfluous moves, just took the new students to the common room and disbanded.
How can this work? To cultivate students' sense of honor in the college, it is clear that they should start from the freshmen!
Harley led the students through the hallways, up the stairs, through hidden doors, and taught Peeves a lesson about trying to sneak up on the Gryffindor freshmen.
I don't know if this is a Peeves repertoire, but basically every year Peeves comes to target the first-hand Gryffindor freshmen.
However, this year, Peeves probably didn't pay attention to who the team leader was, so he was directly turned into a ball by Harley's magic and was knocked far away.
This makes the eyes of the freshmen full of longing, this senior sister is really cool!
Especially when there is a senior next to her who looks helpless and has a simple expression...... This makes the senior sister who leads the team more elegant.
Upon entering the common room, Harley did not immediately disband the group, but began to lead the group of new students on a tour of the Gryffindor common room, while introducing the interior layout.
In particular, the portraits on the walls of the lounge are more important to Harry.
After all, the wizards who can hang their portraits on the wall of the common room are all from Gryffindor, and after graduation, they are also famous, and belong to the most precious spiritual wealth of Gryffindor House.
Percy's method of leading new students is simply too low, and Harley feels that her own method is more likely to strengthen the sense of identity and honor of Gryffindor among the new students.
And this move did work, and along the way, Harley had sensed some of the anchors coming from the group of freshmen in front of her.
"What is the logo of Gryffindor House?"
After leading the freshmen around the common room, Hallie stood in front of the fireplace, facing the freshmen below whose enthusiasm had been ignited.
"It's a lion! The lion of the king of beasts, the lion that symbolizes our courage and daring characteristics! ”
"The representative colors of Gryffindor House are gold and red, which in the alchemy system represents the element of fire, corresponding to the wind of Ravenclaw, the earth of Hufflepuff, and the water of Slytherin."
"It also means that our Gryffindor feelings are as hot as fire, dare to love and hate, value friendship, and burn like a flame in the face of enemies."
"As a Gryffindor student, I hope that you can dig out the bravery buried in your hearts, reflect your own courage, courage and boldness, prove that Gryffindor House is outstanding, and also prove that you are a qualified Gryffindor!"
"Of course," Hallie paused, "being brave is not reckless, so you have to think a lot before you do it." ”
"I don't want to hear people from other houses tease that Gryffindor students are a bunch of stupid lions."
"However, as long as you decide to do the right thing, then don't worry about it, Gryffindor will always be your strongest backing!"
After a bit of chicken soup, this group of freshmen who had just entered the school were very excited, and the sleepiness after eating a full meal had disappeared.
The excitement would only last for a few days, though, before it would be worn out by Hogwarts' diverse professors.
But that doesn't stop Hallie's glorious image from leaving permanent traces and anchors in their hearts.
The other students in the Gryffindor common room who were making up their homework were dumbfounded, and the pens in their hands stopped unconsciously.
Can the prefect still play like this when he leads the freshmen? Why was his original prefect so wasted?
"Hallie's prefect is much better than you were back then." Fred was lying on his desk catching up on his homework.
Noticing the chicken soup that Harley poured into the freshmen, he poked Angelina's arm beside him.
"Shut up!" Angelina glared at Fred viciously, wringing his inner thigh.
Fred suddenly screamed and apologized to Angelina.

(ps. Actually, Gryffindor's English is Gryffindor, and the first half of Gryffin means Gryffindor, that is, a griffin, which is a half-lion and half-eagle creature in Greek mythology, that is, a griffin-like winged beast.) So the author is a little puzzled why the symbol of Gryffindor is a lion. Shouldn't it be a griffin from the name? (End of chapter)
