Conquest knights from Hogwarts

Chapter 334 The surprise and fright of the sorting night
Today's Hogwarts is particularly noisy, not only because the number of people has almost doubled compared to before, but also because the new compulsory courses opened this semester are both attractive and disturbing.

Abyssology, Demonology, Magic Technology, Magic Alchemy, and the unnamed new Defense Against the Dark Arts.

The addition of so many courses had to make the little wizards whisper, but in these words, there were many sighs of nostalgia.

Those graduates never thought that they would be able to return to school one day, which was a completely unexpected thing.

But for them, it's actually a good thing.

Wizards who can find a stable job in the three years after graduation either have family connections, or they are outstanding academically. The vast majority of ordinary wizards are actually wandering around in these three years. more bitter.

Although the society has not smoothed their edges and corners, it has also let them know the dangers of society, and what is lost is always the most precious, but they are fortunate to be able to usher in the opening of a new era, and thus find their lost things.

That is the supreme happiness that can only be harvested in school.

People who walk into the society always show the superiority of mature people when talking about the ivory tower, but in fact this is to cover up their desire. Sometimes they are loyal to preaching because they remember and look forward to people younger than them It is possible to have a youth without regrets, because people who say something often have a regret that cannot be found, and people will cherish it only after losing it.

On the carriage to the castle, the noise of the crowd gradually subsided. The students who were going to school were nervous and uneasy, while those who returned to the campus lost their voices because of excitement.

The carriage pulled by thestrals brought the mighty crowd to the gate of the castle, and the resplendent and resplendent hall could be seen at a glance when the gate opened.

It is still the four extremely long dining tables in memory, but compared to the past, the dining tables are almost twice as long, so that this year's particularly large number of students can find their own seats.

They were not listed as a separate table, which immediately brightened the eyes of the returning seniors. Hogwarts did not forget them after they graduated. They are still students of this school, and they are still children here.

After walking out of the campus, it seems that these grown-up 'adults' have become a little sentimental instead.

Thousands of candles floated on the enchanted ceiling, and the warm candlelight illuminated the place brightly. The people who were already sitting at the dining table began to talk, and the familiar feeling came back. They were waiting With the admission of new students, that is the moment that every senior in Hogwarts looks forward to.

But when Professor McGonagall pushed open the side door with a slightly tired expression, in an instant, the noisy hall became silent as if it had been cursed.

The first ones to come out were the group of short, restless little guys. They just turned 11 years old and just entered the school. They are so young, and a little bit of uneasiness is getting deeper and deeper under the gaze of the seniors. , Many children's legs began to shake, and they subconsciously leaned behind Professor McGonagall, just like the chicks when the eagle catches the chicks.

Professor McGonagall moved forward, and they followed suit, and a group of older students came out behind them.

The number of freshmen this year is nearly 1% higher than in previous years, about 50.00 to 60 people, and the total number of older children is close to 100.

These are students who have transferred from various places. Because of the excellent performance of Hogwarts this year, this once glorious school of magic and magic is once again glorious today, and even more so than before.

The uneasiness on their faces was only a little less than that of immature freshmen. After all, there were nearly 1000 people sitting on the dining table in front of them, and they were stared at by a thousand pairs of eyes. There were very few people who were not nervous.

For example, the jade-like and elegant young man with black and shiny hair standing at the front of the line of transfer students. He may be about fourteen or fifteen years old, but his quiet temperament makes him faintly become a transfer student. leader of.

The sorting hat flew over and landed on the unchanging triangular stool. The gazes of the seniors became more and more serious. The atmosphere in the auditorium seemed to be overwhelming.

Suddenly, the magic hat grinned and sang a song in a cheerful tone.

"I existed before Hogwarts was founded,

Four great wizards imbued me with their thoughts.

Brave Gryffindor left behind the courage of a lion,
The wise Ravenclaw left behind a search for knowledge,
Good Hufflepuff left behind a tough and unyielding,
Shrewd Slytherin left pure focus,
They share a dream and a wish.

The great four giants are dead,
But the schools they built prospered even more.

Every new face is worth looking forward to,

The future is in your hands, no matter which college you are in,
Hogwarts will be proud of you! "

"Now, we will begin the sorting ceremony."

Professor McGonagall held a long piece of parchment and spoke loudly. Although her face was tired, her voice was very powerful and there was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.

She shook the parchment and read the first name.

"Halena Abbott."

A burst of gazes called 'Duiweier' were all focused on a little girl with two handlebars. Bah, the little girl with twin ponytails, the little girl who was already flushed almost couldn't stand still, she took With a hint of uneasy crying, he carefully rubbed on the triangular stool, his eyes were covered by the brim of his hat.

"Gryffindor!"

But after the Sorting Hat said the name aloud, the originally heavy auditorium hall was instantly filled with cheers. This sudden surprise shocked all the little wizards waiting for the sorting.

But seeing those seniors cheering for them as freshmen, the burden that was pressing on their hearts before seemed to be relieved a lot.

Although their faces were still a little pale, their eyes were bright and filled with anticipation.

The names were read one after another, and the team of freshmen shortened rapidly, probably because there were too many people in the branch this time, and the enthusiastic cheers at the beginning also felt tired.

There are more than 200 people. The seniors got a little uncomfortable in their voices halfway through shouting, and their palms were red from being slapped. But as seniors, they still insist on giving every freshman the same enthusiasm.

The inevitably low welcome ushered in a moment of upsurge when the names of the transfer students were read. These freshmen who transferred to Hogwarts from other schools did bring them a lot of different freshness.

According to their age or the degree of study in the previous school, they will be divided into colleges of different grades. In this way, the students of other grades who were originally much smaller than this year's first grade have grown slightly in size. For the upcoming new students Classmates and old students are naturally full of expectations.

"Green Greengrass."

When the name of the most outstanding boy among the transfer students was pronounced, the expectations in everyone's eyes were more than usual. The society that looks at faces is not only in the Muggle world, but also in the magic world. It is also impossible for Hart to have so many fans.

People who have already subconsciously classified him as an 'excellent student' do not doubt that the Sorting Hat will delay some time. After all, outstanding people have more choices, but things are always unexpected.

In less than ten seconds, the Sorting Hat announced his college aloud.

"Ravenclaw!"

A group of witches who started to be nympho screamed. The Ravenclaw witches in Hogwarts are the closest to housewives. They always have so many wonderful ideas in their minds. Will it be some unsuitable scenes for children?

Amidst the lively welcome, Green smiled and walked to the table decorated with Ravenclaw's silver and blue eagles, and sat in the freshman team with a gentle smile.

"Why does it feel a little weird?"

With his chin propped up, Ron glanced at this outstanding boy. The subtle feeling that flashed in his heart just now made him feel strangely close.

'Oh my god.' Ron wailed in his head and almost slapped himself, 'Don't tell me the gay is me? ? ? '

Ron hurriedly shook his head and threw out this bad idea, and swore he would definitely stay away from this problematic guy. This is too scary, at least for himself, it is really scarier than a nightmare .

With this in mind, Ron quickly and quietly took Hermione's hand under the table.

'have a feeling! Ron breathed a sigh of relief, "I really like girls!"

"what?"

Hermione turned her head a little strangely, blinking her eyes in confusion.

"I miss you enough."

"Hey~ Ron, you are so nasty"

Hermione curled her lips and turned her head, "If you can't speak, just say a few more words, what if you want to listen?"

She held the big hand instead and moved closer to him.

The innocent people who were suddenly fed dog food all turned green. Only Harry, who was beside Ginny, was able to catch his breath, and even Neville moved his butt in distress.

'Why am I still single.'

Many people suddenly have endless thoughts of love.

"Now, then, please allow me to give you a quick chatter before your stomachs give up."

After the sorting was completed, Dumbledore stood up smiling.

"This year's Hogwarts has undergone tremendous changes, not only because so many outstanding children can come to this school, but also because there will be some changes to this year's curriculum."

"You'll be busier."

Dumbledore paused, but he didn't hear the sighing complaint. In the previous year and a half, the little wizards who were used to the professors' "serious teaching mode" made great progress in resisting pressure. In fact, what should be more worried is those old students and transfer students who have returned to school. Most of them have received the "happy education" before. Today's Hogwarts carries shoes.

But they didn't realize this, they should inquire about it, and tonight is probably the last of their bravery. Let's make a glass of iced lemon juice for these warriors in advance to celebrate their current fearlessness.

"We have added two new main courses, two elective courses and completely revised the Defense Against the Dark Arts course. From now on, Defense Against the Dark Arts will be replaced by Dark Arts Inquiry. We will redefine the black and white of magic."

A loud commotion emerged from among the students. The word black magic has been a symbol of dark wizards for hundreds of years. Black magic represents evil, and it is almost synonymous with Azkaban.

Dumbledore didn't suppress the hustle and bustle, he just looked ahead calmly, at the group of children.

In fact, it didn't take long for the little wizards who couldn't see anything on Dumbledore's face to calm down. They knew that the headmaster they trusted could give them a reassuring answer.

"I don't want you to become dark wizards who do all kinds of evil. If someone really wants to turn my students into such people, I will be the first to stand up and take you back with my wand."

"The modification of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course this time is actually more because of the abyss and demons that you are very concerned about. The detailed content will be explained to you by your teacher of the Black Arts Inquiry course. I guarantee that he will be a very good teacher. Excellent teacher."

"I want to redefine the magic we are in contact with now. Black magic is evil, but it was not evil from the beginning. As we all know, we are now facing the opening of a new era. At the same time, we are also facing the war with the abyss. We want to turn all power into power under our control, and explore the essence of magic, which is what this revised course will teach you."

"Well, let's say one last thing, now that we have a new curriculum, we need new teachers."

"We are honored to be able to invite outstanding talents who are responsible for the compilation, sorting out, and proofreading of the newly added Abyssology and Demonology textbooks to be the main lecturers of these two subjects at Hogwarts."

Dumbledore's voice aroused the curiosity of the students. Although they didn't understand it very well, the person who can be responsible for compiling the textbook is definitely a powerful person with top knowledge.

"Welcome our new teacher of Abyssology and Demonology—"

Dumbledore raised his left arm in a welcoming gesture, and everyone's eyes followed the direction of Dumbledore's finger.

There was the Gryffindor table, and in the middle of it, a burly man stared murderously at Dumbledore, a wretched old man, and got up in the silence.

"Thank you so much, Headmaster Dumbledore!"

Ron gritted his teeth and said, this old guy can really lie!

"Aha~"

Dumbledore said cheerfully, "Everyone should be familiar with it, right?"

He hugged Ron's shoulders affectionately, but before he could say anything else, a burst of cheers that would lift the ceiling sounded from the crowd.

As a man who can hammer a dragon with one hand, play like a murderer, a generous benefactor, a card founder, and so on, he is blessed with countless nicknames and honors. Although he is still a student, he has long been in Hogg. Watts became a living legend among his students.

No one will feel that Ron can't do what Dumbledore said. Although compiling textbooks sounds a bit out of tune with this man who doubts that his muscles grow in his head, what does this guy Ron do? Little wizards will not be surprised by such outrageous things!

Ron has at least won the first place in the final exam of the third grade. He definitely doesn't have full-length muscles in his mind. Whoever believes this is an idiot.

But as a person surrounded by these cheers and applause, Ron was not happy at the moment, he stared at the old man beside him from the corner of his eye, and then whispered in a voice he could definitely hear: "Four to eight hours a week? Do I have enough time to do what I like?"

With that said, Ron put on a smiling face, and also embraced Principal Dumbledore's shoulders affectionately.

Dumbledore, who was almost screamed by Ron, blushed. This bastard is really disrespectful.

"shattering"

The white-bearded grandfather of COS Guan Gong squeezed out these few words from his teeth, which really made the listeners sad and weeping.

"Kids know that you can't lie, and you are quite old, is it embarrassing?"

Ron let go, throwing Dumbledore a back to back by the way to relieve the pain in his shoulder that was about to shatter.

"I also arranged two teaching assistants for you."

Dumbledore, who was finally relieved, spoke with a sad face.

"It will take a little longer than expected, but I still keep my word and it won't take up too much of your time, at least in these two courses."

"That's several times more than that. Besides, did you include me in the course of exploring black magic? I knew there was a conspiracy as soon as I heard it. I passed this theory to you from the teacher."

Ron rolled his eyes. The old fox will only believe half of his request in the future. Is it human to catch a toad and urinate?

After the cheers cooled down, Ron also completed the process of appearing on stage, but when the hall became quiet again, Dumbledore cleared his throat, as if something was brewing.

"Magic Technology and Magical Alchemy will be in charge of me and two assistant teachers. Although the course I taught before I was the principal was Transfiguration, I am confident that I can do what I am doing now. If I don't teach Well, just write to me quietly, don't tell your parents, I will change it."

He blinked mischievously, causing a burst of cheerful laughter.

"Then now, please let me introduce your last teacher this year. What he teaches is the brand-new subject of black magic exploration."

"Please, member of the United World Association of Spellcasters, my old friend, former opponent, leader of the Witch Party, Gellert Grindelwald."

The side door next to the teacher's bench was opened, and under the silent gaze of the young wizards, the silver-haired old man in a black trench coat with a stand-up collar walked out from behind the door without haste.

"For the greater good."

Grindelwald opened his hand, and the magical voice seemed to enter everyone's mind.

"And for the greater world."

"I will lead you into the secret garden of magic, and peep into the corner of the essence of magic power. Power does not distinguish between evil and justice, but people do."

"I will teach you how to use it correctly, and use me as your background board, so that you won't make the same mistakes again."

In the silence, he nodded slightly, then stepped into the teacher's seat and sat beside Dumbledore.

There was a burst of applause that was not loud but not lonely, and the little wizards looked at each other. They probably need to applaud now, right?
