Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard
Chapter 14: Opening Party
Sainz didn't pay much attention to how the students behind him were divided. His arrival was warmly welcomed by all Hufflepuffs.
The same goes for the freshmen who arrived before him.
The fat monk smiled and extended his hand in welcome, "Great, welcome to join this big family."
Sainz stretched out his hand to greet him, but the result was obvious: they could not touch each other and their palms went straight through each other.
He thought to himself, "It is just as Harry Potter said, like jumping into a bucket of ice water, it's freezing cold." This situation was not unexpected.
After greeting everyone and sitting down at the dining table, he turned his head and paid attention to the teachers' seats.
In the center of the guest of honor seat, sitting on a big golden chair was an old wizard with silver hair and beard.
The impressive long crooked nose, half-moon glasses and silver-white hair and beard gleamed in the firelight.
Needless to say, he is undoubtedly Dumbledore.
There was a vacant seat to Dumbledore's left, apparently reserved for Professor McGonagall.
Further to the left, the middle-aged man with sallow skin and gloomy face is also easy to guess, Snape, wearing a big black robe, with a hooked nose that can prick people, and greasy and shiny black hair.
To Dumbledore's right, there was a bald, tiny wizard sitting in a chair who was obviously shorter than the man. His features were so prominent that he must be Professor Flitwick.
The witch sitting next to Professor Flitwick must be the head of Hufflepuff, Professor Pomona Sprout, who had a kind face and flowing gray hair.
What doesn't match her flowing long hair is her patched hat. Among a group of professors with different expressions, she reveals a down-to-earth simplicity.
Next to Professor Spout is Ms. Sinistra, the astronomy professor. The short-haired, capable witch on the right should be the flying teacher, Madam Hooch. The big guy Hagrid is sitting next to her.
On the other side, next to Snape sat an elderly wizard. No one knew who he was, but he might be this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
Further to the left is a witch of the same age as Professor Spoutlow, whom I don't recognize either. Judging from her seating arrangement, it is very likely that she is Professor Carey Burbaggi of Muggle Studies.
He was the only Hogwarts professor who was later killed by Voldemort for advocating that there was no difference between wizards and Muggles.
Professor Trelawney, the impressive Divination professor, was not present, nor was Professor Binns, the only ghost professor.
The person sitting with Hagrid should be the professor of Care of Magical Creatures, also a sturdy old man with a white beard, whose name Sainz could not quite remember.
On the other side, it is speculated that the professors of Arithmancy and Ancient Magic are both ladies.
Sainz looked around the guest seats, and when he met Professor Sinistra's eyes, she nodded slightly to him, and he kept smiling politely.
Soon, all the new wizards were sorted into their houses. Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment, picked up the Sorting Hat and left.
Dumbledore stood up, looked at the students with a smile on his face and stretched out his arms to them. It seemed that nothing could make him happier than seeing the students gathered together.
"How happy." He rubbed his eyes emotionally, as if tears were about to flow out.
"I still remember that when I entered school, I was just like you..."
"Mr. Headmaster, I have to remind you..." Professor McGonagall seriously stopped the headmaster's enthusiasm to recall the past.
"Okay, Professor McGonagall, okay." Dumbledore said like a good boy.
"Welcome! Welcome everyone to Hogwarts to start the new school year!
Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words. This year we have a new member joining us. Let me introduce to you our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Rosario Gratton.
He is an old and loyal friend of mine and I am delighted that he has accepted my invitation.”
Sure enough, the elderly wizard sitting next to Snape stood up and bowed slightly to everyone, "Thank you Dumbledore for the introduction."
After Professor Rosario Gratton sat down, Dumbledore continued, "I think everyone is hungry.
Idiot! Crybaby! Scum! Screw!
Thank you everyone, the party begins!"
After Dumbledore sat down, everyone applauded and cheered.
Then, all the plates on the table were instantly filled with delicious food.
There were pea shoots, carrots, gravy, and tomato sauce;
There are pork chops, lamb chops, sausages, steaks, roast beef, and roast chicken;
There are also fried potatoes, baked potatoes, and chips;
There's even a bunch of mint hard candies.
When the food came, all the little wizards ignored their reserve and grabbed it directly.
Sainz took some of the different types of steaks and ate them while thinking about some of Dumbledore's incomprehensible words.
Idiot! Crybaby! Scum! Screw!
In the past life, many people had different interpretations of these words. One of the interpretations said that the Latin combination of these words was a sentence: May Merlin bless you.
Sainz thinks this is an over-interpretation. If you force it together, they can form any sentence, because there are only 26 letters in the English alphabet, and several words have been used almost the same. If you take them out and force them together, it won't be strange what they form.
It's like, if you pick up a few Chinese characters at random, break them apart and then reassemble them, you can definitely form more explanations. After all, Chinese characters have even fewer strokes, less than 26.
If we really get down to it, it all comes down to the "Eight Strokes of the Character Yong".
He prefers another explanation: these words are the impressions of the four colleges in other people's minds.
Ben Stebbins came up to Sainz, pointed at Dumbledore with his eyes, and asked him hesitantly, "Is he - a little crazy?"
In an unfamiliar environment, people always want to stay with people they are familiar with. Although he and Sainz only knew each other for a few hours in advance.
Sainz said jokingly, "Ha! You are in trouble. That is our headmaster. Do you remember what Professor McGonagall said just now? You actually said behind his back that the headmaster is a lunatic?"
Stebbins had no idea that Sainz was joking. The freckles on his face turned pale with fright, and his originally average build seemed to have shrunk a lot.
Trembling, he said, "Sa...Saiens...do you think he...heard it?"
Seeing that his joke really scared the child, Sainz quickly comforted him, "Oh, I was joking. I don't think the principal is that petty. I just saw that you were too nervous and wanted to help you relax."
Stebbins quickly looked towards the podium and relaxed when he saw that no professor was paying attention to him.
"You scared me to death. I thought I would be fired. I will never talk about others behind their backs again."
Sainz was a little speechless.
Let’s just say that your reaction is a bit too much.
However, if you can develop a good habit of not talking about others behind their backs, it will be a great deed.
It turns out he was overthinking.
Ten minutes later, the child seemed to relax a little too much. He pulled another freshman named Joshua Cadwallader and discussed loudly whether the middle-aged man with a sallow face on the stage had any serious illness.
Sainz secretly expressed sympathy, kid, you really know how to pick people.
