From Hogwarts to Strixhaven
Chapter 312 Opening Banquet
At this annual opening banquet, the bad weather in the Scottish Highlands spared no one.
The heavy rain continued to fall. Although it was not time for the sun to set, the thick black clouds in the sky had already blocked all the light. The trio who got off the Thestral carriage had only walked a short distance before they were completely soaked by the rain.
Compared to their own situation, they were more worried about this year's first-year students.
The Black Lake had begun to flood, overflowing many rocks on the shore. In this weather, there is a high probability that the boat will capsize and sink when traveling to Hogwarts by boat.
Harry described the scene of the first-year students and Hagrid scooping water out of the boat together, and couldn't help laughing with his two friends.
"They can't drown." Hermione said with a smile, "Have you forgotten the giant octopus in the Black Lake? Didn't Colin fall into it when he entered the school?"
"Haha!" Ron shook the water drops from his hair, "Then they have to pray that the eight legs of the giant octopus are enough!"
As they spoke, the three of them had already climbed the stairs like many others who rushed into the castle. The entrance hall of Hogwarts was very grand, and the marble floor reflected the warm light of the torches, which slightly dispelled some of the chill.
"Pop!"
A balloon filled with water exploded next to the trio. Harry, who had been trained in dueling for two years, was the first to react. He drew out a spell and shouted at the second flying water ball: "Repel the enemy three feet!"
But he soon realized that using the repelling spell to attack the water ball was not a good choice. The water ball exploded in the air, and a light rain fell in the entrance hall of the castle.
The students below once again became wet rats, all screaming and pushing, hoping to get away from this place of trouble as soon as possible.
The mischievous ghost Peeves would not give them this opportunity. The bells on his hat rang loudly, and the water balloon bombs in his hands kept throwing.
"Peeves! Get down here!" This angry voice attracted everyone's attention, including Peeves.
Professor McGonagall, the vice-president and dean of Gryffindor, rushed out of the hall, but the hall was too slippery and she almost fell to the ground. Thanks to Hermione's neck, she did not show embarrassment.
"Oh! Sorry-Miss Granger!"
"It's okay, professor, it's inevitable." Hermione took a deep breath and rubbed her throat.
Professor McGonagall adjusted the wizard hat on her head and got angry at Peeves: "I'm warning you! Peeves——"
"I didn't do anything!" Peeves continued to throw the water balloons in his hand, scaring the people on the marble floor to hide here and there, "Anyway, they are already soaked! Right? It's you, don't run!" Peeves was targeting a group of second-year students who had just entered, and their eyes were still full of clear confusion.
"I'm going to find the principal! Peeves!" Professor McGonagall said loudly.
Peeves stuck out his tongue and made a few faces, then threw all the water balloons in his hand into the sky and left with a strange smile.
Harry and the other three immediately recited the levitation spell and caught the falling water balls steadily.
"Well done, the three of you. If school hadn't started yet, I would have given you all extra points." Professor McGonagall nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the wet rats in the hall, "Okay, let's go, the banquet is about to start."
The three threw the water balls out the door, and followed Professor McGonagall into the auditorium step by step.
The auditorium was still so glorious and magnificent, and the trio felt much more comfortable. It seemed that in order to welcome the new semester, the auditorium was redecorated, and the four-color college flags split the two sides of the wall, which looked very noble.
The students below had already started chirping, and the four long tables were full of people, exchanging new things in the summer vacation.
Before sitting down, Harry deliberately looked in the direction of the long table of faculty and staff, where his mother was sitting.
"It's Mrs. White!" Hermione gasped. She was the first person to observe the long staff table every year. "Could she be our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the new school year?"
"Who knows?" Harry smiled at his mother, and then found a position on the long table where he could see the long staff table without turning back.
"You must know the news!" Ron said to Harry seriously, "But you actually hid it from us!"
"Oh!" Harry twisted the hem of his robe, "I only learned the news shortly before the start of school."
"How good is Mrs. White?" Hermione has begun to recall whether she has left any bad impression on her during the summer vacation. "We will take the O.W.L.s. exams next year. This year is a very critical year!"
"You will never be disappointed." Harry smiled and shook his head. Think about it, last year it was his godfather who became the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and this year it was his mother who became the Potions professor. The most important people in his life are with him!
"Look at Snape!" Ron had a look of despair on his face, "I didn't know he had a smile other than a sneer!"
"Oh——" Hermione understood at a glance, "He likes her!"
"What?" Ron was still as ignorant as Harry in this regard, "Who likes who?"
Hermione rolled her eyes at him, turned around and asked Harry worriedly: "Does Mr. White know, Harry?"
Harry thought for only a second before deciding to tell the truth: "In fact, before I came to school, my father - I mean, Mr. White told me to try not to let them have the opportunity to be alone."
"That's too difficult." Hermione had the class schedules of all professors, so she could ask questions when the professors were free, so she knew that it was impossible to prevent the two professors from meeting with just a few students.
Harry felt the same way, but he had promised his father and Sirius, so he would definitely try his best to complete it.
"Wait, wait!" Ron said anxiously, "Did I miss something? Why can't I understand a word?"
"Don't worry, Ron~" Hermione tried her best to imitate Mrs. Weasley's tone. Since Ron was also Ivy's friend, Mrs. Weasley thought that the whole family could go to the VIP box to watch the game thanks to Ron. Therefore, during almost the entire Quidditch World Cup, she called Ron by this nickname that could give people goose bumps. "You just need to know to follow Harry and you'll be fine!"
"I would do it even if you didn't say it!" Ron looked at Hermione angrily, "I'm his best buddy!"
"Absolutely right!" Harry laughed so hard that he was out of breath, and Hermione laughed along with him.
Although Ron still felt puzzled, this kind of smile was contagious. So he laughed and asked, "What are we laughing at?"
No one could answer this question, not even Neville, who was sitting opposite them and laughed along with them.
There was a loud thunder outside, and a forked lightning flashed across the ceiling of the hall. Because it was enchanted to reflect the weather outside, the students of Hogwarts only needed to look up when eating to know whether they needed to bring an umbrella today.
As the roar of thunder gradually stopped, the door of the hall was opened again, and Professor McGonagall led a row of first-year students in.
If these senior students were soaked, then these first-year students were just swimming from the Black Lake. It was just unknown how many of them accomplished this feat with the help of the giant octopus at the bottom of the lake.
Professor McGonagall placed a three-legged stool in front of the long staff table, just below the platform where Dumbledore often spoke, and then placed a dirty wizard hat on it.
In the surprised eyes of the first-year students, a crack near the brim of the hat opened like a mouth and sang loudly.
The Sorting Hat has a whole year to think about the lyrics, so it is always popular.
This time, the song tells the story of how four founders from different places were determined to establish Hogwarts, and of course, the standards they set for accepting students.
The Sorting Hat bowed amid the applause of the crowd, and then sat on the triangular stool without moving.
The Sorting went on as scheduled, and as usual, Professor McGonagall called their names one by one in the order of the first letters of their surnames in the alphabet.
These wet little wizards became students of the four major colleges, and no one was left out.
Only one person caused the students in the hall to be restless, Ariana Dumbledore. Professor McGonagall deliberately put her name at the end because she was the oldest and was not in the first grade.
"Is there something wrong with my ears?" Ron, who was waiting for dinner with a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, looked confused. "I seem to have heard Dumbledore's name?"
"It's Ariana Dumbledore." Hermione didn't look back. She was concentrating on the girl wearing the Sorting Hat sitting on the three-legged stool. "She doesn't look like a first-year student... She's about the same age as us, and Professor McGonagall didn't read her name in order."
Harry then remembered that Dumbledore also resurrected his sister, but he didn't know about Ariana, and how Dumbledore arranged it, so he didn't dare to say anything at this time, so he had to pretend to be a blind guess: "Maybe she is a relative of Professor Dumbledore or something."
Ariana sat on the three-legged stool for a long time, and the Sorting Hat didn't call out the name of the college.
At first, everyone in the hall was holding their breath and waiting for where this "Dumbledore" would be sorted, but as time went on, everyone couldn't hold it back, and the discussion gradually became louder and louder.
"Gryffindor!" the Sorting Hat shouted.
The Gryffindor students all breathed a sigh of relief and then clapped their hands. That was "Dumbledore", the family that produced the greatest white wizard of the 20th century.
Ariana returned the Sorting Hat to Professor McGonagall, then skipped to the Gryffindor table and sat across from Harry and his friends, between Neville and Seamus.
"Hi, Harry!" Ariana greeted him generously.
"Hi——" Harry felt two gazes coming from the left. His two good friends didn't know that he knew such a Dumbledore, followed by more Gryffindor gazes. In fact, they couldn't be considered acquaintances. Harry had only met Ariana in the spirit world, and there was only a little bit of memory left. Otherwise, Harry wouldn't have forgotten such a big thing as his headmaster resurrecting his sister.
Harry felt the atmosphere was extremely awkward, so he quickly took the initiative to bring up the topic: "Why did you delay for so long? I thought you must be a Gryffindor?"
No mistake, one song, one post, one content, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!
"Why?" Ariana snorted. "Because Albus was once a Gryffindor?"
But looking at the expressions of the people, obviously think so.
"The branch hat has been tangled in Slytherin and Gryffindor for a long time," Alianna continued. "If it wasn't because the guy was in Slytherin, I would go opposite. But Gryffindor was not bad ..."
Aliana's words hadn't finished, and Dumbledore, wearing a luxurious green robe, stood up.
"I believe you have discovered that there are two Dumbledores in the castle now. Alianna is my family. I have not been in school because of illness. Now I can see her joining Hogwarts as a fourth grade. Happy."
At this time, the students in the auditorium rushed up, Dumbledore quickly pressed his hands and temporarily stopped his applause: "First of all! Don't be busy! I believe everyone has noticed that a new professor joined us. The faculty team, she is Mrs. Lily White! She will become our potion professor in the new school year! "" ""
Mrs. White and Snape both stood up from the faculty and staff's long table, allowing everyone to look at them carefully.
Looking at the gentle and beautiful Mrs. White, everyone in the auditorium raised her palms hard. As for how much applause was for Snape, no one could say it.
When the applause was calm, Dumbledore opened his arms and made a welcome posture: "Okay, don't let these little things take up everyone's time, I will say two words in the end -eat!"
In the gap between eating, Gryffindor's students couldn't help but have a lot of discussions around Ariana, but no one sitting around her, because they all smelled the girl as if they were with Dumbledore The relationship is not very good.
Facing everyone's urging gaze, Harry had to ask Alianna in his head to ask: "Aliana -You ... seem to have a lot of dissatisfaction with Dumbledore?"
The Gryffindor girl who has been staring at Harry has exposed a satisfactory expression. They couldn't help but want to hear the gossip about the Dumbledore family.
"Of course." Alianna sighed and said vicissitudes, "If you are also locked in the house for two months, just to tutor those homework, you will accumulate a lot of dissatisfaction like me. In fact, I am me. I don't hate him so much ... "
"During the summer vacation! Two months for a whole! Be with the textbook?" Ron swallowed the potatoes in his mouth and asked very resonated, "Instead of doing it, it must be crazy early in the morning."
"It's not just accompanied by textbooks!" Alianna complained, "There are many strange exercises! I really don't know where the guy has made so many things!"
"Exercise?" Hermione also grabbed the keywords, "Can I borrow it to see?"
Ariana stared at her, and even the baked pudding in her mouth forgot to swallow. She couldn't understand how someone took the initiative to ask for those terrible things.
But Hermione obviously made a mistake: "Oh, forgot to introduce myself, I am Hermione Granger, the one I just spoke is Ron Weasley, we are all friends of Harry."
"I am glad to meet you, Hermione." Alianna shook hands across the fried fish and Hermione across the golden plate. "Call me Alianna, don't call me Dumbledore. Old beard, I can give you all those questions and information, to be honest, I can’t get rid of them!
One needs, the other can be met, so the two girls immediately reached an agreement.
Soon the students in the auditorium were full and drank. They were wet and wet, and they had already wanted to go back to change their clothes.
So the remaining diced debris left in the plate was quickly disappeared by magic, and those golden plates became shiny again, and they could learn from people.
As the principal, Dumbledore stood up again, and began a routine bedtime speech.
"Yes." Dumbledore said with a smile, and he could see that he was in a good mood. "Now we have been full and drink, and I just have a few notices to let everyone know."
"First of all, Mr. Ferch, the castle administrator, hopes that I can tell everyone that this year, there are a few more items that are prohibited from using the castle, namely screaming, Langya Flying disk and combo. Four hundred and thirty -three items, interested people can check it out. "
It can be seen that Dumbledore was very speechless about this list. His long white beard shaking a little, and then continued: "As before, I want to remind everyone that the forbidden forest is not allowed to enter, unless you have you have any. Protect the magic animal class there, and all students under the third grade are not allowed to patronize. "
"In addition, I have a very regrettable thing to tell you that this year will no longer hold the Queidic Academy Cup."
Harry was stunned, and he flew a year of light wheel 2077. The taste of victory has not been tasted! Gryffindor's other Queidic players were also shocked, and they could not accept it.
However, other colleges' attitude towards this is much more peaceful. Anyway, Harry can always win with the light wheel 2077. This Quidiqi is no different. Essence
Dumbledore continued: "This is because a large -scale event will begin in October and it will continue throughout the academic year. It will occupy a lot of time and energy of the professors, but I do believe that you can get a lot of them from it. Fun.
"That must be a joke!" Fredic and George shouted at the Quidicy finals.
Everyone in the auditorium laughed, and even Dumbledore was the same.
"This is not a joke, Mr. Weasley." Dumbledore said, "But since you mentioned a joke, I just know a very interesting joke. A giant monster, they walked into a tavern together, Mother Yasha said- "
"Cough!" Professor McGonagua cleared his throat loudly.
"Oh -now saying that this is not suitable, of course, it is not suitable." Dumbledore had no embarrassing expression on his face, and continued to explain the top three hegemony. " A friendly competition organized by the three largest magic schools in Europe. Wats, Besbarton and Demston took turns to host.
"Before today, people made many attempts to restore the top three contests, but no one can really succeed." Dumbledore continued, "But, the Ministry of Magic's International Magic Cooperation Department and the Magic Sports Department made very After many jobs, this grand game was held in Hogwarts!
"At the end of October, the principals of the other two schools will take them to the Warriors selected to Hogwarts. When Halloween, they will officially start the selection of the Warriors! Winning warriors can not only be their own schools Winning honor, he will also get a prize of 1,000 gold Jialong! "
The students' discussion was sounded again in the auditorium.
"Of course, I know that you are always eager to win the honor of winning the top three competitions for Hogwarts," Dumbledore said. "But the three magic schools and the Ministry of Magic believe that we must be a person who participated in the registration. Age limit, that is, only students who are at least seventeen will be allowed to register! "
"This measure is very necessary, because the project in the top three hegemony competition is very dangerous. No matter how many preventive measures we use, students under the 67th grade cannot deal with them. The referees who can deceive the top three hegemony have become the Warriors of Hogwarts. So, if you are less than 17 years old, I hope you don’t waste time to apply. "
"The delegation of Demston and Bazbaton will arrive in October in October. I believe that you will show our foreign friends as much as possible to the gentleman and lady in the UK as much as possible, and will support the Warriors of Hogwarts wholeheartedly."
"But it's not too early now, it is very important not to affect tomorrow's course, otherwise the professors will complain to me. Now go to bed to go to bed!" Dumbledore finally said in the auditorium. Tong, everyone's movement of ping -pong, everyone packed up and left.
Along the way, students can hear a candidate for the Hogwarts Warriors. They list many preparations, but only one name is the highest -Ivey Dum.
There is another chapter! I can do it! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
