Hogwarts passer-by professor

Chapter 243 The principal said: no more Quidditch games this year
After the sorting ceremony, the little wizards began to chatter and laugh.

Many people were discussing what happened at the Quidditch World Cup, and some were discussing Sirius' upcoming appointment as Hogwarts professor.

Of course, unlike other houses, everyone at the long table in Slytherin House seemed to be owed a lot of gold galleons, and there was basically not much laughter.

Think about it, although Voldemort has been down for many years, the children of some Death Eaters who escaped punishment have not been deprived of the qualification to enter school.

However, the arrest of some people's family members has made some people lose their minds.

In response, many students from other colleges burst into laughter.There is no way, this is the power of feud.

"The vacation is over, to be honest, I'm still quite sad!" Professor Flitwick talked about sex, "Especially this Quidditch World Cup, what happened is really unforgettable..."

"No," Hagrid interrupted, "I never thought that those crazy guys would take action after the game. Fortunately, they were all caught!"

As soon as this topic started, other professors also started talking about it.After all, the Quidditch World Cup ended just over a week ago.But what happened during this period was too exciting.

"I heard that the Ministry of Magic will put them on trial next month, and we are now trying to find ways to extract more secrets from them!"

"Yes, martial law has been imposed outside recently. This year, when the little wizards enter school, they will be secretly protected by strikers sent by the Ministry of Magic."

"Okay!" Dumbledore stood up, his rich voice echoing throughout the auditorium, "Now, I only have two words to say to you, eat!"

When Dumbledore's voice fell, the plates and empty plates on the long table were suddenly covered with food.

The alluring aroma penetrated his nose, and Aisen was suddenly filled with appetite.Well, let’s focus on the food in front of us.The professors stopped talking and took a big bite of the food on their plates.

"What were you thinking about just now? Professor Eisen!" Professor Flitwick poured the pumpkin juice into the cup and asked casually after taking a sip.

"I was thinking that everyone might be particularly busy this year -" Eisen spread his hands, which immediately resonated with the professors.

In fact, it does.

One big event for Hogwarts this year is the Triwizard Tournament.

For example, communicating with the Department of International Magical Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic, but Barty Crouch went in.This requires communication between Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic.In addition, he also needs to communicate with the Magic Sports Cooperation Department.

As for communicating with the other two schools, I think Professor McGonagall will make arrangements.

But in addition, as the organizer, Hogwarts has to prepare materials in advance, logistical arrangements, arrangements for the competition venue, declaration of magical animals used for assessments, etc., etc., all of which have to be done by someone.After all, you can't expect Professor McGonagall to do all the work alone.

After patting his forehead, Aisen suddenly remembered something.That is the issue of Triwizard Tournament quota.

You know, to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, each of the three schools must produce a warrior.The standard for selecting warriors is the Goblet of Fire, an ancient magical artifact.

For example, people from various schools sign up and throw slips of paper with their names on them into the Goblet of Fire.The Goblet of Fire then selects one person from each school to participate in the competition based on its own internal set of selection criteria.

But the problem is, it's not that fair in itself.

It is normal for Cedric Diggory, Fleur Delacour and Viktor Krum to be chosen in the original book.

But its selection of Harry Potter means it is vulnerable to magical interference.

how to say?Eisen thought for a long time and could only think that no one had ever thought that someone would actually attack the Goblet of Fire.

"What Professor Eisen said is right, but don't worry too much. The Ministry of Magic will send some staff to help one after another."

"It's okay, but we can arrange for some outstanding students to help -"

The professors expressed their opinions while enjoying the delicious food.

……

"Look, how happy are the professors talking?"

At the Gryffindor table, the Weasley twins picked up a spoon and tapped the dishes, as if they were about to play a wonderful piece of music.While waving their arms, they chatted with their friends.

"Sirius Black is sitting up there, I'm sure he'll be teaching us Defense Against the Dark Arts lessons."

"That's for sure. Professor Lupine left us last semester, and now there is a vacancy in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, isn't it?"

Listening to the guesses of the friends, the trio did not correct them.Anyway, if nothing unexpected happens next, Dumbledore will also announce this matter.

"Harry, did Sirius tell you what he would teach you?" Ron filled his mouth with mashed potatoes, and then looked at Harry vaguely.

"No, he has been busy preparing and didn't even go to the Quidditch World Cup. We will know when the time comes!" Harry shook his head and poked the chicken legs on the plate.

"Have you heard? Peeves made a big fuss in the kitchen, and we almost ran out of food." Seamus suddenly spoke up.

"Why did he do that?" Ron was particularly curious about this.

"I heard that he wanted to attend the banquet, but everyone disagreed, including Bloody Baron. So after getting sulky, he made a big fuss in the kitchen, almost overturning the entire kitchen and scaring the house elves. You have to stay still—" Seamus said quietly, as if he was afraid that others would hear him.

Dang-

Hermione knocked over the tall gold goblet in front of her, and the pumpkin juice inside spilled directly onto the tablecloth.

Harry and Ron looked at Seamus with great interest, eating and drinking, and didn't pay much attention to Hermione who was silent.

"Okay." When everyone was about to clear away the food on their plates, Dumbledore's voice sounded again, "Now that everyone has eaten and drank enough, I must ask everyone to pay attention. I want to announce A few notifications!”

Everyone fell silent and looked at Dumbledore quietly, waiting for him to say something.

"Mr. Filch, the gatekeeper, would like me to tell you that this year, several more items are prohibited in the castle. They are screaming balls, toothed flying saucers and combo boomerangs..."

After the words fell, many wizards showed dejected expressions.Fred and George, in particular, looked at Dumbledore sadly as if they were in agony.

The corners of Dumbledore's mouth twitched slightly and he continued: "In addition, I would like to remind everyone again that students are not allowed to enter the forbidden forest on the site. As for Hogsmeade, students below the third grade are not allowed to visit."

This announcement was a school tradition, so no one had much reaction.

"Also, I am honored to introduce to you our new teacher-Sirius Black." Dumbledore paused before continuing, "He will be the in charge of a new course at Hogwarts. ——Professor of the Defeat Against the Dark Arts class. As for the original Defense Against the Dark Arts class, it will remain vacant!"

Sirius Black stood up and nodded to all the young wizards, then slowly sat down.

But except for the trio of saviors and the new first-year wizard, everyone else was in an uproar.

"The school has opened a new course on defeating magic? It's unbelievable!"

"Has Defense Against the Dark Arts been disbanded?"

"Probably, but Dumbledore was talking about leaving it vacant -"

"Then the content of the OWLs exam and NEWTs exam will be changed?"

“Maybe the content of study won’t change much!”

The little wizards were chattering and discussing. They all looked at Dumbledore in surprise, and then looked at Sirius Black sitting on the professor's seat.

However, no matter what, the little wizards still clapped to show their welcome to Sirius Black.The applause from Gryffindor, especially from Harry and others, was particularly loud.

It was obvious that they were truly happy for Blake to take on the role of Professor of Defeating Dark Arts.

Eisen looked at this scene with a smile, feeling that there was nothing surprising.

"Finally -" Dumbledore spoke again without letting the young wizards discuss it for long, "I would also like to tell you with great regret that there will no longer be a College Cup Quidditch Tournament this year!"

"What?" Harry opened his mouth and showed a shocked expression.He seemed to be out of breath, and his breathing became rapid.
