Hogwarts: This wizard wants to improve too much

As the train began to slow down, the sky darkened and raindrops hit the windows intermittently.

For so many years, every September 1st, the first day of school, the sky was clear when I got on the train, but it would turn into a rainy day when I got close to Hogwarts, without exception.

But when I returned to school after the Christmas holiday, there was no such situation.

I don’t know what the problem is.

As the train stopped completely, the surroundings were also chaotic and noisy, because everyone was busy putting their luggage and pets together and preparing to get off the train.

Cassandra and Hermione also went out before this. As prefects, they had to maintain order. They didn’t stay in this carriage for a long time today. Ethan felt very fortunate that he chose not to be a prefect.

Take Qiu Zhang and Luna, merged into the flow of people in the aisle, and moved towards the door.

Arriving at the platform, the night air blew on my face, and there was still a hint of coolness.

After simply casting a spell on myself, Qiu Zhang and Luna, he led the two to the place where the Thestral carriage was.

At this time, a familiar voice came to my ears: "First-year students come here... First-year students..."

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw a huge figure at the other end of the platform, holding a lantern in his hand, calling the panicked first-year students over.

Somewhat different from the original book, Hagrid accepted Dumbledore's task to win over the giants. This was not an easy task to complete, so he did not return when Hogwarts opened.

But now, because Ethan used the identity of the Balrog to beat Voldemort, and many Death Eaters died, Voldemort's power and reputation were greatly damaged.

This also made Hagrid's trip much easier. Although he did not make the giants stand firmly on his side, it also destroyed Voldemort's purpose of winning over the giants.

Hagrid, who had completed his mission, rushed back as soon as possible in order not to miss the Hogwarts opening banquet.

Anyway, Ethan had received Hagrid's message a week ago.

Naturally, he did not talk to Ethan about giants or anything like that. He mainly talked about Ms. Maxime. Hagrid said that he and Ms. Maxime had a very happy summer vacation. Hagrid even said that he saw love.

After leaving the platform, following a path in the rain, you can see more than a hundred carriages pulled by the Thestrals not far away.

Ethan and others also randomly found one to sit on.

Not long after, Cassandra and Hermione also came up, but at this time, many Thestrals' carriages had already started.

After all, they still had to guide the new students and arrange for every little wizard in Hogwarts to sit in the carriage to ensure that no one was left out before they could complete their mission.

"How does it feel to be a prefect?"

"You don't know, at least seven of the ten Gryffindor carriages are doing their homework, and some..."

Hermione felt a headache when she mentioned this. Compared with other carriages, the Gryffindor side was a bit difficult to manage.

In the past, she didn't go out to see it because she was not a prefect, or she didn't care if she knew it, because she had no right.

But now as a prefect, is it really appropriate to watch them violate the Hogwarts discipline?

Fortunately, the predecessors taught us to turn a blind eye, because this is the norm.

Ethan didn't comment on this, because he was also the one who made up homework at the beginning of the school.

Cassandra's side was fine. As long as she didn't meet Gryffindor, Slytherin was still more disciplined on the surface.

In addition, with Cassandra's identity, no one dared to get angry.

As the Thestrals creaked and swayed through the tall stone pillars on both sides of the gate of the venue, the speed began to slow down until it stopped in front of the stone steps leading to the oak door.

Walking up the stone steps, the first person I met was Professor McGonagall.

When they arrived at the hall, there were already four long school tables, with a dark ceiling without stars, just like the sky outside that they saw through the high windows.

Candles floated above the tables, illuminating the silvery ghosts dotted in the hall and the excited faces of their classmates.

The little wizards who found their seats and sat down were also talking happily, exchanging news about the summer vacation, loudly greeting friends from other colleges, and examining each other's new hairstyles and new clothes.

Ethan also came directly to the long table of Ravenclaw and sat down in a seat closer to the front.

When he set his eyes on the long table of faculty and staff, the woman next to Dumbledore still successfully annoyed Ethan.

Even though she was sitting on a chair, you could tell she was short and fat, with short curly gray-brown hair, a very ugly big pink bow on it, a fluffy pink cardigan over her robe, and a pale, toad-like face with a pair of droopy eyelids and bulging eyes.

Although Ethan had known that Umbridge would come to Hogwarts, she didn't know how she had gotten to Fudge.

After the Quidditch World Cup, Ethan asked Lockhart about Umbridge's situation once, and she was transferred to sweep the floor at that time.

At the same time, many young wizards also discovered Umbridge's identity and started to talk about it.

But Ethan could see that Umbridge's face changed drastically as soon as she took a sip from the goblet, and the veins on her hand holding the goblet were bulging directly.

As for the reason, it should be the discussion about Umbridge's harm to Fudge.

After all, this incident was a sensation at the time, and now seeing the protagonist, it is inevitable that some emotions cannot be restrained.

It was not until Professor McGonagall led a long line of freshmen into the auditorium that the noisy auditorium became quiet..

Then came the old project of every year. Under the arrangement of Professor McGonagall, the sorting ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner.

Until the last little wizard named Rose Zeller was sorted into Hufflepuff, and this year's sorting ceremony was over.

After Professor McGonagall picked up the hat and stool and strode away, Dumbledore stood up.

Even though Dumbledore was a little exhausted by various trivial matters during this summer vacation, he still appeared in front of everyone with a spirited image at this moment.

As in previous years, every time at this time, Dumbledore was dressed quite decently, wearing a dark purple robe covered with silver stars and a matching hat.

"Welcome our new students, welcome! Welcome our old students - welcome back! There is plenty of time for speeches, but not now, eat happily!"

Dumbledore's loud voice echoed in the hall, his arms opened, and a bright smile bloomed on his mouth.

The young wizards below also laughed in appreciation and applauded enthusiastically, and the atmosphere in the entire auditorium reached its peak.

With the waving of Dumbledore's wand, the five long tables were suddenly filled with large pieces of beef, pies, plates of vegetables, bread, jam and pots of pumpkin juice.

Ethan also picked his favorite food without hesitation, and Qiu Zhang and Luna beside him also added some roast beef and lamb chops to Ethan's plate from time to time.

After everyone had eaten and drunk enough, the sound in the auditorium gradually became noisy, and then Dumbledore stood up again.

The voices of the young wizards below also stopped, and everyone turned their faces to Dumbledore.

"Well, now that we are digesting another extremely delicious meal, I would like to ask everyone to be quiet for a moment and listen to me talk about the precautions of the new term as usual.

"First-year students should know that students are not allowed to enter the forbidden forest in the hunting grounds, and several of our senior students should know this by now."

"Mr. Filch, the caretaker, asked me, and he told me that this was the 426th time, asking me to remind you all that magic is not allowed in the corridors during class breaks, and there are many other rules, which are listed on the long list posted on the door of Mr. Filch's office. ”

When he said this, Dumbledore, like in previous years, looked at the twins at the Gryffindor table. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

At the same time, he kept telling himself that this was the last year and it would be over soon, so he would be much more relaxed in the future.

This scene was also seen by many people.

Especially Professor McGonagall, who had pursed her lips at this moment. I don’t know what sins she had done in her previous life, that these guys appeared in Gryffindor.

“This year, there is a change in our teaching team. We are happy to welcome Professor Umbridge, our new teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts.”

It was an old tradition. Every year, a new professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts was assigned. The young wizards didn't find it new.

At the same time, polite but not enthusiastic applause broke out. No one liked Umbridge.

After all, she was most famous for using Fudge as a wall. She could use the Minister of Magic as a shield. So she would not hesitate to push her students out when faced with danger. Who would have a good impression of her?

Even Slytherin was the same. If possible, they all wanted to expel this woman from Slytherin. After all, Slytherin hadn't produced such a shameful person for many years. It was said that she was a sweeper. How could a Slytherin graduate be so miserable?

Faced with such a scene, Umbridge's already ugly face turned into a livid color.

After the sparse applause stopped, Dumbledore continued: "The selection of the college Quidditch team will be held at——"

Ahem!

Hearing this, Dumbledore suddenly stopped talking and looked at Professor Umbridge inquiringly.

It was just that Umbridge was not much taller when she stood up than when she sat down, which made her look a little funny.

At the same time, everyone knew from Dumbledore's sight that it was Umbridge who had just spoken. []

Although Dumbledore was a little unhappy about being interrupted, he didn't say anything. After sitting down, he looked at Umbridge intently, as if he wanted to hear what she wanted to say, but she actually interrupted his speech.

"Thank you, Headmaster, thank you for your warm welcome speech."

Her voice was high and sharp, and there was a breathy sound, like the voice of a little girl, and it seemed that she was speaking with her throat pinched, which made people feel a strong sense of disobedience.

"Well, I must say, ..."

Umbridge spoke a lot of nonsense, and the little wizards below listened with dull eyes, as if they had not yet reacted to what she wanted to say.

It was not until Dumbledore began to applaud that everyone realized that she had finished speaking.

But only Dumbledore was applauding at the scene, and the professors and the little wizards below were indifferent.

Therefore, the scene was a little ugly, but Dumbledore's face was also smiling more brightly.

What Fudge was thinking when he sent Umbridge over, anyone with a brain could see.

He just interrupted me, probably to give me a warning, after all, it was the first time he was interrupted in Hogwarts after so many years.

In Hogwarts, Dumbledore's status is the same as Fudge in the Ministry of Magic.

As an official of the Ministry of Magic, she had worked as an assistant for a period of time, so she couldn't possibly be unaware that subordinates should not kiss their superiors.

She just did this, it must be intentional.

However, from what she just said, it can be heard that this woman's brain seems to be not very good.What kind of stuff are these? They are worse than this old man.

"Thank you very much, Professor Umbridge. Your speech is very inspiring. As I said just now, the selection of the Quidditch team will be held at..."

After the announcement, it means that this year's back-to-school dinner is over.

Then the prefects of each college took the students back to the common room.

Ravenclaw was handled by Michael, and Hermione and Cassandra naturally could not escape from Gryffindor and Slytherin.

Back in the long-lost Ravenclaw dormitory, Ethan immediately sorted out the gifts and put everything that should be put out.

Terry and Gene were also chatting about the things about Dumbledore in the newspaper during the summer vacation.

Just now in the hall in front of Dumbledore, I didn't dare to talk about chaos, but it doesn't matter now.

There is a serious polarization among wizards about this matter.

There are those who believe in Dumbledore, and naturally there are those who support Fudge, and there are also those who simply maliciously speculate on others, and these people also speculate on Dumbledore's behavior.

Just like in the original book, even if Dumbledore announced the return of Voldemort in Hogwarts, as long as Fudge did not admit it, most wizards outside would still be willing to believe Fudge.

"Okay, go to school with peace of mind. Dumbledore will never unite with Voldemort, let alone betray his students. Don't worry."

Ethan couldn't help but interrupt.

You can say that Dumbledore is a shady old man, scheming, etc., but it is completely impossible to say that he betrayed his students.

But in the tabloids outside, that's what it said. Dumbledore helped Barty Crouch Jr. sneak into Hogwarts, betrayed his student savior Harry Potter, and helped Voldemort resurrect. .
