Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

After Zhang Xu watched the live video, he estimated that the Hogwarts train should arrive at the Hogsmeade station, so he explained that this year, Zhang Xu could continue to live in the previous professor's dormitory to recuperate, and could use the prefect's bathroom. In addition to other privileges, Dumbledore let him leave. ＷＷＷ.SUIMENG.lā

After all, Zhang Xu has merit and hard work, so it's not surprising that the principal gives him some privileges.

Zhang Xu left the principal's office and when he came to the foyer, he happened to meet the students who had just entered the castle gate.

"You arrived early again, Zhang!" Anthony Goldstein, a prefect of the same grade as Zhang Xu, greeted Zhang Xu after seeing him coming down the stairs.

Zhang Xu walked among the students, and many students around him were greeting him.

After dealing with the classmates greeting him, Zhang Xu said to Anthony: "Because there are some things that need to be discussed with Professor Dumbledore in advance, I came in advance. I just came out of the principal's office."

"Professor Dumbledore is really back?!" Anthony asked happily.

"Yes," Zhang Xu replied, "Professor Dumbledore has returned to Hogwarts Castle."

At the end of last term, Dumbledore was suspended. Later, after the news of Voldemort's return spread all over the world, the Daily Prophet reported in an inconspicuous corner that the Ministry of Magic had reinstated Dumbledore as Headmaster and abolished a large number of education orders. It's just that the location of this report is a bit off. Many students didn't notice this piece of tofu in the newspaper. They still heard the news on the train.

Now that this news was confirmed by Zhang Xu, it quickly spread among the students, and exclamations broke out from time to time among the students.

At this time, Zhang Xu and his classmates had already entered the cafeteria and sat down at the long table in his college.

After sitting down, Zhang Xu poured a basin of cold water on Anthony and the others.

"The senior investigators of Hogwarts appointed by the Ministry of Magic have not been removed. They are just no longer stationed at Hogwarts." Zhang Xu said to the students around him.

Anthony and the others were stunned when they heard the news.

Zhang Xu was also shocked at the beginning. It was only after he understood the detailed policy that he realized that the power of the senior investigator had been reduced.

Now the responsibility of the senior investigator has become to evaluate professors every few years, and when students are dissatisfied with the punishment imposed by the professor, they can appeal to the senior investigator.

A senior investigating officer will investigate.

Dumbledore told them about this while eating dumplings at noon.

Dumbledore had his own considerations on this matter, so when negotiating with the Ministry of Magic, he regarded this as a compromise in exchange for other benefits.

"Who is the senior investigating officer now?" Anthony asked.

"It's still Percy Weasley." Zhang Xu replied, "He still holds this position concurrently."

"Then what will we do next?" Anthony asked.

"There is nothing to do." Zhang Xu replied, "Those messy education orders have been abolished. The remaining education orders are basically for professors, so everyone can do whatever they need to do."

"Then you will still be restricted by those education orders?" Michael Corner, sitting next to Anthony, asked gloatingly.

"I have resigned as an acting professor. I can't be too tired for a long time." Zhang Xu pointed at his head and said, "I returned to Hogwarts early this time just to be a Dumbledore." Professor Lido settled this matter.”

Anthony and Michael were relieved.

"Professor Bubbaji is back too," Zhang Xu pointed to Professor Bubbaji sitting on the professor's chair and said, "She will be back to teach Muggle Studies courses starting this year."

"Then do you know who the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is?" asked a classmate sitting opposite Zhang Xu.

"Guess." Zhang Xu replied with a smile.

At this moment, this year’s sorting ceremony began.

The Sorting Hat is the same as last year, hoping that everyone can unite to face the next danger.

Then the freshmen are assigned by the Sorting Hat to their respective families for the next seven years.

After the sorting ceremony, everyone started eating.

It's just that Zhang Xu knew that in the original plan, there should be an event before eating, but he didn't know why it was temporarily canceled by Dumbledore.

It wasn't until after the meal that Harry Potter, with his face covered in blood, walked into the cafeteria that Zhang Xu figured out the reason.

During the dessert time after the meal, many students were talking about the professors on the professor's chair.

The professor's chair was full of work today.

Many seventh-grade students recognized Professor Caredi Bubaji, and many people had already guessed that Professor Zhang was retiring due to health reasons.

As for Horace Slughorn, who was short and fat, not many people knew him. Only the students who were invited to have lunch with him on the train knew his name.

The most conspicuous person on the professor's chair is Hagrid, who was expelled from the professorship last year. Today he sits on the professor's chair again.

In contrast, Professor Trelawney from the Divination class made a rare appearance on the professor's chair, but failed to attract the attention of the students.

When dessert time was over, Dumbledore stood up from the professor's chair.

All the students in the cafeteria immediately shut their mouths.

After a while of routine greetings, Dumbledore began to introduce the professors.

"Professor Grubblan resigned from his position as Professor of Care of Magical Creatures due to personal reasons. I think we should all give Professor Hagrid a chance."

The students were whispering below, and the cafeteria suddenly turned into a beehive, with a constant "buzzing" sound.

Dumbledore didn't see any students rising up to object, so he accepted it as the students' acquiescence.

Dumbledore continued: "For reasons well known to everyone, Mr. Zhang, the acting professor of Muggle Studies, was seriously injured not long ago. In order to recuperate in peace of mind, he applied to resign from his position as acting professor. Therefore, we Professor Caredi Bubbaji has been invited back to continue his position as Professor of Muggle Studies."

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, there was a thunderous sound in the cafeteria.

This sound was not to welcome Professor Caredi Bubaji, nor to send off Professor Zhang, but to pay tribute to Zhang's self-sacrifice some time ago.

After a while, after the applause stopped, Dumbledore introduced the third professor.

"Now I will introduce to you our third professor this year." Dumbledore said. ..

"Professor Horace Slughorn agreed to return to Hogwarts and resume his old career as Potions Professor."

The students in the audience fell into confusion again, and screams of exclamation kept ringing out.

Horace Slughorn, however, was unmoved by the exclamations and stood up to greet the students.

Then Dumbledore announced in a high voice: "In the meantime, Professor Snape will be the Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Before the students had time to be confused, a loud shout rang out from the long table in the Lion Court.

"No!"

Harry Potter shouted so loudly that everyone in the cafeteria looked at him.

But then, another voice sounded next to Harry.

"Then we won't see Professor Snape next year!"
