I’m Really An Alchemist

Hagrid shook his head: 'It's not your fault, Harry! Hi, let's get this out of the way, is Buckbeak okay now? ’

Harry replied, "It's fine, it's been kept in the Eurasian steppe, and it's getting fat!"

"That's good, that's good." Hagrid nodded with emotion, and the first-years in the carriage gathered excitedly. He didn't have time to continue chatting with the three of them, and just said: "You guys go back to the castle, oh yes. Now, prepare yourself mentally."

The half-giant has a slightly complicated expression.

"This year's Hogwarts has changed a lot."

After speaking, he raised the chandelier as a beacon, guiding the hopeful first-year freshmen to the Black Lake, passing by by boat according to the tradition.

"dramatic change?"

Ron murmured strangely.

The three found a Thestral carriage, flew to the castle gate with curiosity, and entered the brightly lit auditorium under the leadership of the prefect.

The temperature in the auditorium was very high, which instantly dispelled the chills of the students. When they entered the auditorium, hot air rose from the ground, evaporating everyone's clothes soaked by the rainstorm, and white steam lingered in the sky, like a fairyland.

The professors have already taken their seats, and the center is Professor Ivan.

The students' eyes first focused on the handsome Asian young man, and then they looked at other professors, and found an unfamiliar face next to Snape.

"A new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor?"

Ron sat down next to Harry, looking carefully at the unfamiliar face.

He felt Harry's body a little stiff.

Harry stared at the new professor of dark magic, and Tom Riddle, who was talking to Snape, also cast his eyes when he sensed it, and the eyes of the two Dark Lords met.

Tom Riddle smiled and gathered his glasses, gesturing to Harry Potter.

"You know him?" Ron asked strangely.

Of course I do.... Harry Potter replied in his heart, Tom Riddle, Voldemort, the second Dark Lord, how could I not recognize it, I have swallowed several Voldemorts!

Harry touched his forehead subconsciously, but he didn't feel the scar on his forehead.

Since he devoured Voldemort and filled his soul, the scar on his forehead has never felt pain again.

Harry's eyes moved away from Tom Riddle's face and fell on Professor Ivan. Tom Riddle appeared at Hogwarts, and he must have obtained the permission of Professor Ivan, and he chose to believe it.

Not many people can recognize Tom Riddle.

After all, Voldemort himself gave up his name and chose the name Voldemort. After so long, except for a small number of wizards, few people know that Voldemort and Tom Riddle are the same person.

These underage students are even more unclear.

There was an exclamation from the Slytherin area, and they discovered that the new black magic professor was the one who helped them fight the Death Eaters in the Hogwarts Invasion Night.

Draco Malfoy sat in the Slytherin area, peeping cautiously at Tom Riddle.

At this table, perhaps only he can recognize the connection between Tom Riddle and Voldemort, but even if he recognizes it, he would not dare to point it out in an open and aboveboard manner, and he would not even dare to take up the topics that the people around him were involved in.

"Why is Voldemort here and a professor of dark magic?"

Draco was mad in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

What made him even more speechless was that most of the classmates around him were in high spirits. They only knew that the new black magic professor was also a student of Slytherin and had the power to crush Death Eaters.

This is enough to make these students who admire the strong cheer for it.

Not long after.

Under the leadership of the vice-principal Minerva, a group of freshmen who were trembling and blue-faced from the cold stepped into the auditorium.

They also felt the invisible warmth rushing towards them to dispel the chill, steam came out of their heads, and their clothes became dry. The freshmen finally got rid of the bad situation and had the mood to look at their surroundings.

Minerva took out a triangular stool, and then took out a gray wizard hat and placed it on the stool.

She took out a list.

"Why isn't the Sorting Hat singing this year?" Ron nudged Harry with his elbow, his tone particularly weird.

The freshmen didn't feel it yet, but the senior students who had already experienced the opening ceremony of the school several times felt that something was wrong - every year before the opening ceremony of the school, this dirty hat would show its ugly singing voice.

"I am not sure as well."

Harry shook his head solemnly.

He thought of what Hagrid said, Hogwarts has changed a lot... Has the change started with the Sorting Hat?

"When I read my name, I came up, put on my hat, and sat on the stool." Minerva said with no expression: "After sorting, go to the corresponding school!"

"Stuart Ackley!"

A boy stepped forward, put on his hat nervously, and sat on a stool.

"Mental power: 11 o'clock."

The Sorting Hat's voice was extraordinarily mechanical: "Ravenclaw."

The boy put down his hat ignorantly and walked into the Ravenclaw area. There was no applause in the auditorium. Both the students and the professor opened their eyes and looked at the wizard hat on the stool.

Minerva sighed in her heart, took a pen and wrote down the corresponding mental value next to the list.

A strange sorting ceremony continued.

Compared with other ignorant seniors, the senses of the first-year freshmen are even more wonderful. They wear hats and have a weird feeling of being seen through, and the Sorting Hat will assign colleges according to their substantive qualities.

If you are a student of Slytherin, you will definitely be assigned to Slytherin, and there will be no exceptions like Harry Potter.

Even the freshman who was begging in his heart to go to Gryffindor was ruthlessly sent to Slytherin Academy because the Sorting Hat judged that he would develop more in Slytherin.

The sorting process was quickly over.

But the atmosphere was not as lively as before.

Minerva stiffly put away the list and sat back in her chair.

"Welcome everyone back to Hogwarts." Zhou Qi stood up and bowed to the students who were looking at him. He started with Professor Pomona on the far right, and introduced each school professor to the new students.

The professors who were introduced all stood up and paid their respects.

The rigid atmosphere was finally broken.

"This is the new professor of dark magic, Tom Riddle." Zhou Qi said: "He was also a student of Slytherin, and many people saw him during the Hogwarts defense last year."

Tom Riddle got up and bowed slightly.

Applause and cheers erupted from the Slytherin area.

"It's me in the end." Zhou Qi spread his hands: "But I think you should all recognize me... Who shook his head just now, you made me embarrassed, you know?"

The students in the auditorium let out good-natured laughter.

"This year, I will temporarily replace Professor Dumbledore, acting headmaster."

Zhou Qi said loudly, "As the principal, I will issue the first order now."

"Enjoy dinner!"

A large amount of food suddenly appeared on the long table. The students cheered in surprise and immediately immersed themselves in the dinner. The storm was still violent outside the window, and there were occasional traces of lightning outside the dark window.

Harry dealt with waves of adoration.

He is now more famous. He saved the magical world for the second time, and he is also the president of the Magic Alliance. Students of both high and low grades come to him with juice, and Ron's role has come into play. He waved two A chicken leg stopped everyone.

While they were having a meal, some students found Peeves flying between the dining tables honestly, clearing the plates.

"Merlin's beard!"

Ron exclaimed in shock, "Is that Peeves?"

As the most annoying ghost in Hogwarts, Peeves is the king of mischief, and almost no one can fix it.

"Hey, praise Professor Ivan." Floating in mid-air, he said to the drooling ghost Nick: "After Professor Ivan became the headmaster, Peeves thought that Dumbledore was away, and his behavior was even worse."

"Then it was caught by Professor Ivan and gave a hard lesson-now it is much more honest, as long as it is not honest, the toilets of the entire castle will be flushed!"

Peeves seemed to have heard the discussion behind him, and turned his head to reveal a pitiful look.

The crowd laughed.

When the dinner was over, the plates stacked on the table disappeared out of thin air. Zhou Qiong wiped the corners of his mouth with a pure white tablecloth and got up again.

The noise in the auditorium quieted down.

"Since I've had enough to eat and drink, then I'm going to announce a few announcements—"

he said with a smile.

"Regarding the changes to the system at Hogwarts this school year, please bear in mind."

Chapter 458 Chapter 99

Hogwarts changes?

The students who had just had dinner raised their heads strangely and looked at the acting principal in the professor area.

In the past, Dumbledore also announced matters after the dinner, but most of them were to warn the first-year students of Hogwarts rules and regulations, such as the forbidden forest, no wandering in the middle of the night, etc.

Senior students are used to it.

They thought that Professor Ivan, like Dumbledore, had to repeat these few precautions for hearing calluses.

As expected of Professor Ivan, he always brings surprises.

Both the new and old students adjusted their sitting postures and listened carefully.

"The first thing is that Hogwarts has reformed the educational system. The four colleges will no longer have unified courses. They will make reasonable arrangements according to the characteristics of the colleges." Living.

Then there was an uproar.

"Reform of the educational system, what does this mean?"

"The four academies no longer have a unified curriculum, doesn't that mean we don't have to take classes with Gryffindor idiots... If that's the case, I can accept it!"

In the auditorium, the first-year Mengxin looked confused and looked around. They had just arrived and didn't understand what this change represented.

Ravenclaw sat quietly in the chair and occasionally discussed in a low voice. They already knew the temperament of their dean, and they had achieved the institutional reform of the college last year.

Instead, it was the senior students from the other three academies who made the noise, quarrel, and discussion.

"Quiet!"

The acting principal's voice suddenly amplified, resounding in the ears of every student.

Everyone subconsciously shut their mouths, and the auditorium fell silent in an instant.

"The reform of the academic system was initiated by me, and the result of the cooperation between the dean and the professors. The specific regulations have been posted in their respective rest areas, and you can check them out after the dinner."

Zhou Qi looked solemn.

"If you have any objection to the reform of the educational system, you can react to me or put forward better opinions, but I don't allow anyone to make trouble." He looked past the stunned students and looked at the back of the auditorium.

Administrator Filch stood by the door, sneering gloomily.

"Mr. Filch will keep an eye on you. If someone makes trouble, he will notify me as soon as possible, and I will also punish you accordingly!"

When did the students meet such a strict Professor Ivan, who was completely different from the gentle and reasonable musicians in the past, it was like a different person.

"Professor Ivan.... really has the majesty of the principal." Ron shuddered and said in a low voice.

Harry lowered his voice too.

"Professor Ivan, as the acting principal, must be strict, otherwise he won't be able to control the students."

Ron thought for a while and nodded in approval.

After all, if you don't get stricter, how can you discipline a mischievous student like the Weasleys?

Most of the students have also thought of this. Although they can understand Professor Ivan's actions, this unsympathetic attitude still makes them resentful.

Zhou Qi swept around, and most of the students were dissatisfied.

Hit a stick, but also give a sweet date - the alchemist is well aware of the principles of sustainable development. He folded his hands slightly, and at the same time as he unfolded, four heavy books appeared out of thin air between his palms.

The four books floated by themselves and landed at the front of the four academies.

The students sitting at the front opened their eyes and looked over. The covers of the four parchment books were extremely cartoony, each with different characters, but these people gave them a sense of familiarity.

"what is this?"
