Glory To Slytherin

Chapter 153

Harry felt unlucky the first day he returned to Hogwarts.

When he got off the Yeqi carriage and stepped on the ground, he heard the whispers of the people around him:

“Have you heard? Harry Potter fainted on the train!”

“Really? Why?”

“Stunned by a dementor!”

“Hahahahaha—”

The laughter pierced Harry’s eardrums, and he only felt hot on his face, and he walked quickly towards the castle with his head down. Ron turned his head and shook his fist at the mocking man, but Hermione stabbed her back, and the three of them walked up the stone steps, through the majestic oak gate, and into the spacious and deep hall.

There was a burning torch, and there was a magnificent marble staircase leading upstairs.

The door of the auditorium was open, and the dark clouded sky appeared on the enchanted ceiling.

The Slytherin students had arrived first. Ulysses sat on the long table, glanced at the door, and saw Harry and Hermione being called away by Professor McGonagall.

Before long, all the students entered the auditorium, which became a sea of ​​pointed black hats. Every long college table was filled with students. Thousands of candles floating on the table reflected their faces. shining.

This year’s branching ceremony was hosted by Professor Flitwick. This little gray-haired wizard walked up to everyone with an antique hat and a three-legged stool, and began to calmly call out the name.

The sorting process was the same as before, and Astoria entered Slytherin smoothly as Daphne wished. Ulysses noticed that Draco had a hint of joy on his contrasting face, and Pansy didn’t seem to be happy.

After the division, Dumbledore stood up, the candlelight gleamed on his beard, and said loudly:

“Welcome! Welcome back to Hogwarts again! I have a few things to tell you all about, one of which is very important, so I think it’s best to do it before you enjoy a delicious meal and get confused. Make it clear…”

Dumbledore cleared his throat and continued, “Our school is currently ushering in several dementors from Azkaban. They are sent by the Ministry of Magic to perform official duties. You must already know this, because they are right. The Hogwarts Express was searched.”

He paused, there was no emotion in his words.

Dumbledore was very unhappy with the fact that the dementors came to guard the school, but this was what the Ministry meant. As the headmaster of Hogwarts, he knew that the Ministry of Magic represented rules and constraints.

With Dumbledore’s influence in the magical world, he must set a good example for other wizards to abide by the rules, which is beneficial to the stability and development of the magical world.

“They are stationed at every entrance of the school. I must make it clear that no one is allowed to leave the school without authorization while they are there. No tricks, tricks, and disguise can fool the dementors – even the invisibility cloak.”

He added expressionlessly, “The dementor’s nature does not understand excuses and begging for mercy. So I warn each of you not to let them have any reason to hurt you. I hope the prefect and our newly elected student council chairperson can make sure Don’t let a student clashed with the Dementor.”

Dumbledore paused again, looking around the auditorium with a serious expression, no one moved or made a sound.

“Change to a more pleasant topic.” Dumbledore smiled, “I am very happy to welcome two new professors to our lineup this semester. First, Professor Lupin, who readily agreed to fill the vacancy in Defence Against the Dark Arts class. .”

There were a few cold, sparse applause in the auditorium. Only the students who were in the same carriage with Professor Lu Ping on the train clapped their hands more vigorously.

Sitting among all the gorgeously dressed professors, Professor Lu Ping looked particularly shabby.

The Slytherin people did not react to the professor’s arrival, and even looked at the ragged Professor Lupin with some doubts, while Draco smiled sarcastically, but did not dare to speak.

Now Hogwarts students have very low requirements for the professor of this course: they are human, and they just need to understand magic.

After several years of devastation, especially Professor Quirrell and Professor Lockhart, the little wizards deeply understand that the Defence Against the Dark Arts course professor is a strategic scarce resource.

Ulysses glanced at Professor Snape on the professor’s bench, his withered face twitched, as if he was thinking of something unbearable, his expression was not just anger, it was simply hate.

“As for our second new professor,” Dumbledore continued after the sparse applause calmed down.

“I’m sorry to tell you that Professor Keitelburn, our teacher of Protecting Magical Biology, retired at the end of last semester in order to have more time to enjoy his old arms and legs. However, I am happy to announce , It is not someone else who will fill his position, it is Rubeus Hagrid. He agreed to accept this teaching position in addition to his duties as a hunting ground guard.”

As soon as the voice fell, there was a warm applause on Gryffindor’s long table, and it was obvious that Hagrid was very popular with them.

Hagrid’s face flushed red, his eyes lowered and he looked at own’s big hands, his smile hidden behind the tousled black beard.

Slytherin was much colder, and hardly anyone applauded.

“Isn’t it? Why did I suddenly ask us to buy textbooks that would bite people…”

Millie whispered, “When I went to buy a book, I saw that the book took a big bite on the clerk’s wrist, and the blood kept flowing. It was scary…”

“He will probably let his cute little guys break our necks.”

Draco couldn’t help but said. This time the imprint did not take effect, because Ulysses felt that what he said was not impossible.

After speaking, Dumbledore announced the start of the dinner. Suddenly, food and drinks appeared on the golden plate and goblet. The hungry little wizards began to feast on.

Ulysses followed the dining etiquette and looked slow, but the food on the plate was quickly disappearing. Every time I take a train to the castle is a day of starvation. From morning to night, the train does not provide lunch, only some snacks, which obviously cannot be eaten as a staple food.

After the dinner, it was the annual school song singing session.

At the end of the song, the little wizards returned to their dormitories.

Ulysses returned to 409 with Gerrard with a glass of juice. The decoration inside is the same as before leaving at the end of last semester. It has not changed, except that two of the beds are empty, and their owners will not come back this year.

Gerrard’s eyes stayed on the two empty beds for a while, and he sighed.
