Under the teasing gazes of the crowd, the first-year students went through the sorting ceremony tremblingly.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Dumbledore stood up slowly with a smile on his face and announced the relevant precautions.

“Mr. Filch, the administrator, wanted me to inform everyone that this year, several more items have been added to the list of prohibited items in the castle, such as Screaming Yo-Yo Ball fireworks, Spike Exploding UFOs, and Combo Boomerangs. The entire list covers about 437 items, which can be seen in Mr. Filch’s office. Those who are interested may wish to check it carefully.”

Fred and George below frowned, looking unhappy, and muttered a few words in a low voice. These are all their proud works!

But they were banned by Dumbledore openly.

This makes their business difficult.

It seems that they can only do underground transactions secretly.

He continued:”As in the past, I would like to solemnly remind everyone that students are still strictly prohibited from entering the forbidden forest over there. And in Hogsmeade Village, all students below the third grade are not allowed to visit.”

“I also have to tell you with great regret that after the grand World Cup just held, Hogwarts will no longer host the House Cup Quidditch Tournament this year.”

The Quidditch enthusiasts below, especially the members of the school team, were all furious.

They had just watched the wonderful World Cup and were rubbing their hands, eager to try, and planning to show their skills in the school’s Quidditch arena.

As a result, it was not held this year. How can they vent their passion? Do they have to shout”The blue sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established”?

Dumbledore continued,”This is because a large-scale event will kick off in October and will continue throughout the school year. This takes up a lot of teachers’ time and energy-but I firmly believe that each of you will be able to gain great fun from it. With great excitement, I am extremely happy to announce to you that this year at Hogwarts,—..—”

At this moment, a deafening thunderclap like a landslide suddenly exploded, and the heavy door of the auditorium was suddenly smashed open by a powerful force.

A figure suddenly appeared at the door, holding a long cane tightly, as if it was his only support in this storm.

He was tightly wrapped in a black traveling cloak, shrouding his entire body in a mysterious darkness.

Everyone in the auditorium turned their heads almost at the same time, and their eyes were focused on this uninvited guest like sharp arrows.

Suddenly, a forked lightning like a silver snake swiftly streaked across the ceiling, instantly illuminating the stranger as bright as day.

He took off his hood without hesitation, shook off his messy long gray hair, and then walked firmly towards the staff table without hesitation.

Thump, thump, every time he took a heavy step, a hollow and dull sound was heard, and the sound seemed to float in the empty hall with a deep echo.

He walked straight to the end of the guest of honor seat, then turned right neatly, limping but firmly walking towards Dumbledore.

The lightning was like a sharp sword, reflecting the man’s face very clearly. Every inch of his face seemed to be covered with criss-crossing and shocking scars. His mouth was twisted, like a hideous and crooked big gash, and the nose that should have been high and raised disappeared without a trace. The most creepy thing about this man was his eyes.

One of his eyes was as small as a bean, dark, deep and shiny, like a cold star in the middle of the night; the other eye was huge, round like a shining coin, and it was a very bright bright blue, like a deep ocean. The blue eye seemed to be out of control, blinking rapidly and madly moving up and down and left and right.

Everyone looked at this extremely ugly man with an expression of extreme disgust on their faces, frowning tightly, swallowing hard, and their stomachs churning violently. Damn it, they had just eaten a full meal, and this sudden scene was simply making them vomit out everything they had just eaten?

“”Allow me to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher,” Dumbledore said happily,”Professor Moody.”

But everyone was indifferent.

Harry half-squinted his eyes. Was this guy just looking at me? Although he didn’t look in his direction.

But his magic eye kept looking in his direction, and his walking route was deliberately away from him.

“”Why does this professor seem to be a little afraid of you?” Ron whispered.

Harry shook his head and said,”I don’t know him.” (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

He also stared at this Moody. He had never seen this magical fluctuation and was sure that it was not someone he knew.

Seamus teased,”He is the new professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, so he must be afraid of Harry.”

Neville was a little uneasy:”Harry, you may have to be careful this semester. He is a disabled person, so don’t be too heavy-handed (good job))”

Harry’s face twitched and he glanced at Neville. As everyone knows, Neville would not lie. He was really worried about Professor Moody.

“Who can say for sure?”Harry responded.

Seamus and Neville mourned for Moody. Judging from what Harry said, the new professor might be beaten up again.

A beating was considered good. Look at Quirrell and Lockhart, they died directly. Dumbledore and Hagrid clapped a few times, and found that the applause sounded lonely in the silent hall, so they put down their hands tactfully.

Moody seemed indifferent to everyone’s cold reaction. He reached into his traveling cloak, took out a curved wine bottle, and wanted to take a sip, but when he saw Harry staring at him closely, he put the wine bottle back into his inner pocket unnaturally.
