Chapter 416: Professor of the History of Magic
"Welcome to our new students. Principal McGonagall smiled, "Welcome our old students, welcome back!"
There was a burst of appreciative laughter and applause in the auditorium, and Headmaster McGonagall sat down, and then a myriad of delicacies suddenly fell from the sky, and the five long tables were suddenly piled with large pieces of beef, pies, plates of vegetables, bread, jam, pots of pumpkin juice, and so on, and the hard wooden legs creaked as if they were overwhelmed.
Harry had always had a good habit of never being polite when eating.
He picked up a plate of ribs that had to be boiled to the bone, and the meat was full of aroma, but gnawing on the bones was always unpleasant, because it was a hundred percent of the effort wasted, but it could only be very delicious.
But with a little magic, it's much more convenient.
I saw that the pieces of meat on each large rib were automatically peeled off the bones and accumulated into a large bowl of beef.
Then he mixed the sauce and filled three bowls of some kind of umami-flavored hot mushroom soup, and poured the rotten pork ribs into the soup.
"It's done, real beef soup. Harry smiled and brought a bowl to Astoria and Zhang Qiu.
"Alas......" Nick, who was almost headless, was extremely envious, and sighed greedily: "I really want to open my belly and enjoy the taste of human food again." ”
Astoria relishes her steak and kidney pies, ending with a large plate full of her favorite syrupy fruit tart.
She glanced sympathetically at the transparent Nick, but there was nothing she could do about it, because the ghost couldn't taste it.
......
Ravenclaw dining table.
Several fourth-graders had been quietly looking at a girl sitting across from them.
The gaze was hesitant and puzzled.
They whispered, "This, it can't be, right?"
"It should ...... No way. ”
"Not at all. ”
"Is that weird minx?"
"But how did she suddenly become so pretty?"
"yes, like two people. ”
After a long time, when a boy reached out to serve a plate of pie in front of the girl opposite, his eyes "suddenly" lit up, as if he had just noticed a person sitting opposite, and asked with a happy face: "Are you, Luna Lovegood?"
Luna raised her head coldly, and pushed the eyes on the bridge of her nose up not very accustomedly, but the eyes that used to look cute were now bright and bright: "Yes, is there something wrong?"
The boy was stunned, but he didn't expect it to be. It's just a summer vacation, and it's changed too much, why didn't you notice that Luna only needed to change her image slightly to be so beautiful.
The boy said sincerely: "I'm Eden Pound, of course you must know, after all, we have been classmates for three years, I suddenly found that you are so beautiful, next Hogsmeade Village Day, do you have time to play together?"
Eden Pound is full of confidence, because he knows how ostracized Luna is, and the self-proclaimed master of picking up girls thinks that as long as he shows that he is willing to have a relationship with her, Luna will be very easy to deceive.
He still had some regret in his heart, because he had only noticed Luna now, who would have realized that the crazy girl who had been dressing up and speaking quirkily was so good-looking, otherwise he would have pursued Luna a long time ago.
A few boys beside Eden Pound regretted that the opportunity was taken away by Eden Pound, and they should have talked to Luna just now, because they all thought the same as Eden Pound, and felt that Luna was a girl who was not vigilant.
Luna dug a spoonful of sweet soup with a spoon, her eyes didn't fall on him at all, and she said lightly, "I'm not interested, you can find someone else." ”
This is different from what Eden Pound imagined, doesn't the knight say that a lonely girl like her can be remembered with a little kindness from between her fingers?
Eden Pound didn't give up, he didn't believe that Luna, who had no friends, could refuse the boat of friendship coming to her.
He squeezed out a friendly smile, "Why? Haven't you almost never been to Hogsmeade? I know it well, so I can take you around." ”
Luna said expressionlessly: "Because I don't want to know you at all, and I don't want to be friends with you, the farther away you are from me, the better, understand." ”
"Haha, Eden, do you hear me. ”
"What you are thinking, Lovegood-senses know it clearly. ”
The people next to Eden couldn't help but laugh when they saw him deflated.
Eden also felt embarrassed, so he stood up for some reason, and then did not come back, and sat down in a seat in the distance.
After the students had eaten and drunk to their heart's content, the auditorium became noisy, and their minds were not on food.
At this point Headmaster McGonagall stood up, and the sound of speech immediately stopped, and everyone looked up at her.
"We've just digested another hearty meal, and many of us should be feeling sleepy and want to go back to the dorm room, lie on a warm, soft bed, and get a good night's sleep, and honestly, I want to ...... too," said Principal McGonagall
There was laughter below.
Professor McGonagall looked straight and said, "Then let's make a long story short, there are some precautions for the new semester that must be communicated to you. ”
"The Forbidden Forest in the hunting grounds is not accessible to students - this is something that first-year students and some careful students should remember that every year students who think they are good at magic and try to explore the Forbidden Forest and get injured, the rest of them must be warned. ”
"Administrator, Ms. Gray, let me remind you all that after the start of school, some rules have changed, some have been deleted, and some have been newly added, and you had better go to the bulletin board tomorrow to see the precautions, so as not to deduct points for violating the rules.
"Another important thing is about the changes to the faculty and curriculum, as we all know that Professor Binns is no longer able to be the professor of the history of magic at Hogwarts, and after the assessment, Ms. Gray will become your new professor of the history of magic. ”
There was a polite applause in the auditorium, and the faces of the students were actually a little confused.
Isn't she an administrator, how did she become a professor?
Even Hermione looked at Harry in surprise, "Did she tell you about it?"
Harry shook his head.
Astoria said worriedly, "Brother, will Sister Helena not prepare food for us in the future?" ”
Harry stroked Astoria's head and smiled, "Of course not, we'll tie Helena to the room with a chain in a moment." ”
Hermione Khan: "It can't be so cruel. ”
Helena: "o(╥_╥)o"
“...... At the same time, after discussion with the Hogwarts leadership team, we decided that the course format of the history of magic course should be changed, and it would become a public compulsory course, because the history of magic does not involve magical knowledge, and the difficulty of learning it is the same in the first and seventh grades. So in order to improve efficiency and save the professor's energy, this class will become a special public course, and the whole school will take it together. Professor McGonagall said.
The following is not surprising, because it is so surprising.
History of magic class has changed so much.
Helena sat at the front, looking somewhere below, the only person she cared about didn't show any special expression about it, looking at his side face, just talking to Astoria's lovely girl. Helena was a little nervous and disappointed, she thought that Harry would have other thoughts about her choice, even if it was angry, but Harry seemed to ignore it, which made Helena a little disheartened.
After a while, seeing that everyone had accepted the matter, Professor McGonagall continued: "The selection for the House Quidditch team will take place on Friday afternoon in the first week, and those interested in it can prepare ......"
Soon, there was a clash of tables, chairs, and benches in the auditorium, as Principal McGonagall had announced the dismissal of the entire school, so everyone stood up and prepared to leave the auditorium.
Neville suddenly jumped to his feet, looking panicked, "Parvati, we should go and show the way to the first-year!" ”
"Oh my God, Neville, you didn't rely on the orb of memory to remember what you were going to do this time. "One person looks like he has shocked my mother for thirty years.
Neville scratched his head, "Who knows, I found that today day, my memory is good. ”
"Oh, yes. Parvati said, apparently the one who had forgotten about it, and she shouted, "Hey...... Hey, all of you, little ones!"
"Parvati!"
"Ahem, that's what it is, they're so small......"
"I know, but you can't call them small! first-year freshman!" Neville showed a hint of majesty, "Please follow me this way!"
A group of freshmen shyly walked down the aisle between the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff tables, each shrunk back as much as they could, not daring to come out.
They did look very small, and Harry was sure he hadn't looked so immature when he first came here, no, he had been concerned about nutrition and exercise since he was a child, and at eleven he looked a few years older than they were.
The crowd poured in, and Harry and Hermione stood on either side, leaving an aisle for them.
The young boys and girls looked up at the tall Harry, a little scared, because in their hearts, the senior who had learned a lot of magic must be very powerful, and would it turn them into little mice and rabbits.
A little girl stopped and asked, "Are you the Harry Potter in the books?"
Harry nodded.
The little girl stood on tiptoe and tugged at Harry's robe, but Harry's height was still out of reach.
Harry bent slightly, "Is there something wrong, little friend?"
The little girl was angry with the word "little friend", and she suddenly kissed Harry and said, "I'm Issabeth Leonard, and I'm going to marry you in the future." ”
Harry paused and couldn't help but laugh.
When the little girl had done this, her courage was exhausted, and she trotted away.
The rest of the Gryffindor children looked at the little girl's back in shock, needless to say, such a bold behavior already foreshadowed that she would definitely become the eldest sister of this year's Gryffindor students.
Harry looked at Hermione and said helplessly, "The charm is irresistible, even Merlin will feel inferior because of my handsomeness." ”
Hermione: "......"
"That little girl, like Astoria, is one of the so-called Twenty-Eight Saints. Hermione said, "Are you interested?"
Harry looked helpless, then put his arm around Hermione's waist and said viciously, "Do you think I'm the one who wants to talk to her when you see a woman?"
Hermione nodded innocently, "Isn't it?"
Harry sighed, "Who the hell has ruined my reputation, do you think I'm a man anyone can get?"
......
