The welcome dinner for this school year can be said to be as always.

Not long after, the new students in this issue, under the leadership of Professor McGonagall, walked up to the front of the teaching staff and stood in a long line.

When Professor McGonagall placed the old Sorting Hat on the same old high stool, the conversation in the auditorium quickly subsided.

Every new student is like this, they carry a variety of moods, facing the upcoming mysterious separate house ceremony.

Under the illumination of many candlelights, the faces of new students are all too pale.

At this moment, the teachers and students of the school are waiting quietly – waiting for Sorting Hat to sing as a whole year, such as around the password.

I have to say that it is a bunch of clichés. It is not so much to introduce the origins of the school to the new student. It is better to recite the school history of Hogwarts that’s all.

It twisted the cap and twisted the cap, and conveyed the things it conveyed in a tune, so that the new students could hear a bit of a cloud.

Fortunately, the song of Sorting Hat is coming to an end.

“…so say, let us come to separate house now!”

After singing the last sentence, Sorting Hat returned to the state of motion at the beginning, only its strange voices still left the tail, constantly reverberating in the quiet auditorium.

After that, the separate house ceremony started without any surprise, and ended without any surprise.

“Welcome to new student,” Dumbledore stood up and smiled with open arms. “Of course, I welcome all the old people! Although we really have to announce something, it must not be the present – ​​everyone will eat it quickly. Let’s go!”

The welcome dinner has always been plentiful, and all kinds of delicious foods have appeared in the form of “stacking” rather than “arrangement” in front of the young wizards.

Oh! Ok! Correct one point – not just in front of the young wizards, but even in the teaching staff.

Even so, Harry still thought that something was missing.

For example, the vacant seat in the teaching staff is still not sitting; for example, the silhouette of Hagrid still does not appear in the auditorium.

After everyone had finished the final dessert – the sweet syrup fruit pie, Dumbledore stood up again, making the young wizards quiet again.

As mentioned before, Sorting Hat’s songs are only clichés, really useful things, and you have to listen to the greatest white wizard of the present.

“When everyone’s stomach bag is working hard for a rich and delicious meal, I want to ask everyone to listen to me about some of the precautions of the new semester as usual.”

“First Year new student needs to know that the Forbidden Forest on the hunting ground is not accessible – I would like to reiterate that senior students must also work hard to keep in mind.”

“Then, the administrator Mr. Filch asked me to remind everyone that the school rules that need to be followed in the study life are posted at the door of his office – the list is a bit long, but it is necessary to look at it.”

“Furthermore, this year’s special, our team of teachers has three changes –”

Having said that, Dumbledore cleared his throat and continued with a solemn tone:

“Now, we welcome Professor Grubbly-Plank back here, she will be the teaching of your ‘Care of Magical Creatures’ –”

A very lively applause sounded from the long tables of the houses. It seems that Hagrid’s Teacher is actually quite a failure. At least everyone will be more grateful to the Grubbly-Plank professor who has taught.

As the applause fades, Dumbledore continues to introduce:

“… We also welcome Professor Umbridge, who will be responsible for your ‘Defense Against the Dark Arts course’ teaching.”

This time, the applause is obviously less. I am afraid that more of them are a kind of etiquette. It seems that everyone doesn’t like the “young young girl” dressed in the whole body.

“Finally, another new professor seems to have not arrived yet, but I still –“

At this moment, he slammed his head and turned to look at the Umbridge professor with a hint of inquiry.

Because she was standing and sitting, she couldn’t really be much, so I really didn’t understand it for a while, why Dumbledore stopped talking abruptly.

At this time, everyone only heard Umbridge clear the scorpion, and everyone found out that she was already standing up and seemed to be planning to say something!

Dumbledore didn’t reveal much strange expression, he just nodded a little, then sat back in the chair calmly, waiting for her to speak.

However, compared to Dumbledore, the faces of other teachers are not very good looking.

Professor Sprout’s eyebrows were straight and his face was quite awkward; Professor McGonagall narrowed his lips and squeezed an “M” between the brows.

At this time, of course, Snape is indispensable. At this moment, he even screamed his tongue loudly and excused one’s feelings in one’s speech.

The young wizards in the auditorium whispered, and even some students secretly laughed – this woman is too ignorant of the rules?

“cough cough ……”

Umbridge didn’t care about it all. She had a false smile on her face, and the voice of the speech only made people think of a cup full of sugar-filled coffee, which was disgusting.

“Thanks to the enthusiastic introduction of headmaster, but a teacher who will miss the first time with his students, I think it must be incompetent –”

“嘎吱-“

As she interrupted Dumbledore’s speech unscrupulously, the door of the auditorium was suddenly opened by the outside, and her speech was interrupted mercilessly.

As the main entrance of the auditorium suddenly opened, the outside wind rushed in and drove the interior warmth.

At the moment when everyone in the auditorium looked toward the door, a tall, silent silhouette marched calmly into the auditorium at a steady and steady pace.

I didn’t see any extra movements, but just a few steps after he entered the door, the door seemed to have some kind of invisible thread pulling, and the “creak” automatically closed.

“I heard that some people think that I am incompetent… I can’t do it because I didn’t hear it! Are you saying, Professor Umbridge?”

“Ma… card?”

The young wizards were so surprised that they never thought that when they thought they would never see Marx again, he returned to Hogwarts in an incredible way!

“Marx is… a new professor?” Hermione stunned and stunned. “This – what’s the matter?”

“Marx? New professor? What is he playing? I am not dreaming?” Ron was shocked.

“He…what is he going to teach us?” Harry was also incredulous. “There are new professors in the Care of Magical Creatures and Defense Against the Dark Arts classes… What other classes are for professors?”

Marx’s unexpected appearance, so that the entire auditorium was silent, the sound of the buzzing sound.

Umbridge squinted slightly, his face looked at him subtly, and a burst of questioning laughter in his nose.

“This is the last new teacher of the school year? Oh, oh–” She broke the noisy hall in the auditorium with a little aristocratic laughter. “Headmaster, which house is this student? In fact, like this Noisy, I think I can still forgive… After all, child is always ignorant, isn’t it?”

Marx is the same age as Harry this year, and his appearance has never been as good as Great Accomplishment. Judging by appearance, he is really just a student who has just entered Fifth Year.

For Umbridge, who has always been immersed in the workplace and climbing unscrupulously, all the information that is useless for promotion is extremely neglected.

In her opinion, what Marx thinks is just a child with abnormal brains.

However, at this time Dumbledore stood up again, and his tone was flat, and his introduction, which was interrupted before, was resumed:

“Professor Umbridge, I want to explain this,” Dumbledore said calmly. “This is a special professor at the Durmstrang Magic School, Mr. Marx McLorne.”

“In order to express the friendship between Hogwarts and Durmstrang, Karkaroff headmaster specially sent this outstanding teacher to our school…”

“Since the beginning of the school year, Mr. McLorne will replace Professor Bathsheda Babbling as the teaching work of the School of Ancient Runes. Welcome!”

The shock of the young wizards didn’t need to be said, and everyone’s familiarity with Marx made them excited.

For Marx, the “student of the past”, everyone gradually changed from the initial feelings to curiosity, then to envy, envy, fear, and admiration…

A series of changes in opinion made Marx in everyone’s mind more and more “Legendary” and finally settled in “numbness”.

It seems as if now, after a burst of surprise, everyone almost swelled up in a mechanical manner, and unabashedly revealed the strange expression of “Oh! This guy is starting again!”

The smirk on Umbridge’s face was stiff, she seemed to be unable to understand Dumbledore’s words, and the sharp voice penetrated the applause of the young wizards.

“…a good teacher? Are you sure?” she said, “a child who is at most fifteen or six years old?”

“It’s true,” Dumbledore said seriously. “MrLorne has won two Transfiguration Today’s Best Potential Newcomers Award, two “The Practical Potioneer” Silver Awards, and “Continuous in Ancient and Modern”. Published four academic discourses on ancient times like Niven, and…”

“Not long ago, Mr. McLorne just completed the award of the ‘Order of Merlin Second Class Order of Merlin’.”

“I have to say that it is an honor for the entire Hogwarts to be able to have such a good teacher to work in our school!”
