The Day of the Duel at Hogwarts.

Chapter 408 Introduction (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

The Sorting Hat's song this year is very long, and the content has changed greatly from the original explanation and praise of the quality of the four colleges. The content of the Sorting Hat's song this year is simply a warning to everyone at Hogwarts We are facing great dangers and enemies, and we need everyone to unite to tide over the difficulties together.

Sean looked at the Sorting Hat with great interest. He has always ignored this thing. If the behavior of the Sorting Hat is not controlled by Dumbledore, then this extremely worn-out hat is interesting. It has a certain Self-will, and can also give warnings of dangers. This kind of ability similar to foreknowledge is not something that can be achieved by random magic items. Sean suddenly became very interested in the Sorting Hat.

And the birth of this kind of interest is definitely not without reason for someone like Sean who has the ability of spiritual vision and can predict. This kind of interest is more similar to a kind of necessity. The Sorting Hat must have a secret that is enough to attract Sean. exist.

The singing of the Sorting Hat was very different from previous years, which somewhat aroused discussion and uneasiness among the students.

Professor McGonagall looked at the Sorting Hat very dissatisfied, but obviously she didn't have much to do with the Sorting Hat. She could only scan the students below with stern eyes to stop their discussions, then picked up the list and the Sorting Hat, The sorting ceremony began as usual, and the list of first-year freshmen to be sorted was read out.

"Euan Abercrombie!"

Hearing Professor McGonagall's words, a flustered little boy stumbled to the bench and sat down. Professor McGonagall put the hat on his head. Fortunately, he had two big ears stuck in the branch. Sorting Hat, otherwise his whole head could be contained by the Sorting Hat.

Moments later, the Sorting Hat announced his house loudly.

"Gryffindor!"

There was applause from the Gryffindor table.

And Blaise said helplessly: "It's Gryffindor again. In recent years, the number of students assigned to Gryffindor in the sorting ceremony has increased. The number of students in Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff It's also decreased, but it's definitely not as bad as the number of people in our college. Compared with Gryffindor, the number of new students in our college has almost dropped to half."

"There is no way around this, Harry's savior has a great reputation, and Slytherin has a bad reputation, so many ambiguous students will basically not be assigned to our college.

But what I am concerned about is another point. The number of people in our college is getting smaller and smaller, which is actually related to the reduction in the number of pure-blood wizard children. I think that with the passage of time, Slytherin House is likely to no longer be a school. They value pure-blooded colleges, because the number of pure-blooded wizards will gradually decrease. At that time, maybe Slytherin College will have a new look. "

It's not that Sean is talking nonsense. In fact, it is a fact that the number of people in Slytherin House is getting smaller and smaller. You must know that in earlier times, blood was the most important thing in Slytherin House, like Snape The mixed race, and the son of a squib like Sean, it is actually impossible to be assigned to the Slytherin house.

But in the current Slytherin house, people like Snape and Sean are all assigned to Slytherin, which is evident.

Sooner or later, Slytherin will accept children from ordinary families. These children may have other special characteristics that are very Slytherin, but pure blood will probably not appear again.

While Sean was thinking, the sorting ceremony was over.

At this time, Dumbledore stood up again, opened his arms, and showed a bright smile, saying: "The sorting ceremony is over, welcome our new students! Of course, we also welcome our old students, welcome back! There is a lot of time for speeches, but definitely not Now, let's eat to our heart's content!"

A large amount of food appeared on the long tables of the four colleges, and everyone was so hungry that they immediately lowered their heads and ate it when they saw the food appearing.

Today's Sean, food intake has finally slowed down with the development of the two talents of Giant Monster Power and Giant Monster Echinacea, and it has returned to normal a little bit. He no longer eats so much, and no longer eats so fast.

Sean put down the knife and fork and wiped the corner of his mouth.

This time I only ate half a turkey and two large pieces of beef shanks, and vegetables and potatoes were not included. Sean sighed a bit about this, and he ate a lot less, which represented Sean’s giant monster power and Echinoderm's growth is almost at the bottleneck, and in today's battle, his power can play less and less role in it, and the role of magic is getting bigger and bigger, although Xiao En himself knows that this is a normal situation , but he still feels a little regretful and nostalgic, the days of chasing each other's hammer with a chain hammer and a tower shield are really good.

Dangdang!
Dumbledore tapped the cup with his spoon, he might have used some kind of magic, and the tap was heard far enough away that everyone heard it, and the tap silenced everyone.

"Okay, since we are digesting another extremely rich and delicious meal, then I ask everyone to be quiet and listen to me talk about the precautions for the new semester like I used to..."

These precautions are relatively old-fashioned, and Sean has listened to them for five years, and they are basically the same.

It wasn't until Dumbledore talked about the teaching team that Sean looked at Dumbledore again.

"This year, we have had three changes in our teaching staff. We are delighted to welcome Professor Umbridge, a special commissioner from the Ministry of Magic, as this year's Professor of Care of Magical Creatures. We would also like to welcome Joros Professor Jobins, who will be our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year!"

Having said that, Dumbledore paused slightly, and the students of the four colleges also applauded.

Sean looked at the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Joe Roth Jobbins, who was disguised by his grandfather. He was a tall and burly man with a rather resolute face. He looked very serious and handsome. For some reason, Sean always has a strong sense of déjà vu when he looks at the person his grandfather pretends to be.

Probably an illusion.

After the applause ended, Dumbledore looked at everyone and introduced the third professor again.

"Last year's Triwizard Tournament, I saw the help of alchemy to wizards, so this year I invited a professor who can enlighten everyone on alchemy, and Hogwarts will officially start alchemy courses, so that Let us all welcome our old friend, former Triwizard Champion Sebsbaton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and now Hogwarts alchemy professor, Fleur Delacour!"
