Harry Potter and the Temple of Tales

The torch at the entrance was lit, and the students walked along the stone floor, passed through the gate, and walked toward the auditorium on the right, where the opening ceremony was held.

The first-year students also crossed the river with Moody, and the old students from other grades sat at the dining tables of their corresponding colleges one after another. There were four huge dining tables in the entire auditorium, corresponding to the black ceiling, with candles suspended above them.

In mid-air, it brings some light to this huge auditorium.

The students all gathered together to exchange anecdotes about their summer vacation. They made comments and greeted friends from other colleges, complimenting each other on their dressing sense and new hairstyles.

Harry sat on the Gryffindor table and once again felt the gaze of outsiders. Since this summer vacation, traditional wizarding media organizations, mainly the Daily Prophet, have been talking about the return of Voldemort, saying that Deng

What Bleddo and Harry said were lies. For a time, the mainstream trend in the wizarding world turned Harry Potter from "the Boy Who Lived" to "a liar who fabricated facts."

Luna and Astoria left with them after entering the door. They each sat down at their own house tables. Ginny was very popular at the Gryffindor table and was occupied by several fourth-year students.

The girl pulled aside, and Louis sat down next to Colin. On his right was Colin's brother Daniel.

Little Daniel seems to have matured a lot in appearance, and his character has become taciturn, which is quite different from his elder brother who loves photography.

Several ghosts welcomed them back with great enthusiasm, especially Nick, whom Harry and the others were familiar with. It was talking to Parvati Patil and Lavender Brown at the other end of the table just now, and the next second it was already

Flashed up to Louis and the others.

Parvati is a fifth-year Indian Gryffindor student. She seems to be very familiar with Harry. At least she will not believe the rumors of the Daily Prophet like others. She takes the initiative to drag Lavender to greet Harry and the others.

, of course, Lavender who was traveling with him focused more on Ron next to Harry, which made Hermione on the side not feel very comfortable.

Strangely enough, one of the two twin sisters from the Patil family is in Gryffindor, while the other has gone to Ravenclaw, and is currently talking to her friend Cho Chang.

"Who do you think this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher will be?"

This has almost become an annual guessing session, and it has become normal for Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers to change every year.

"Maybe it's her?" Ron whispered, pointing to the toad-like woman wearing pink clothes on the staff table.

"Who is that?"

Louis immediately searched for that person's name from his memory. He had accidentally caught a glimpse of her in the elevator of the Ministry of Magic a year ago.

She really looks like someone's unmarried old aunt. She is short and fat, with curly short brown hair tied with a big pink bow. Some people thought she was an elderly woman.

Auntie has always maintained a girlish heart.

"Oh, my God, it's her." Harry exclaimed, "She once attended my hearing. What the hell is that..."

"Dolores Umbridge," Louis interrupted, "Undersecretary of Magic."

"Deputy Minister? I see..." Hermione said thoughtfully.

"She is a disgusting person. Be prepared, she may become our most annoying teacher in the future."

"No way, worse than Snape?" Ron asked. But Harry on the side was expressionless. He already knew from that hearing that this Umbridge was obviously the person next to Fudge.

.

Umbridge's appearance did not surprise Lewis at all. Fudge needed someone to monitor every move at Hogwarts. He was afraid that Dumbledore would do something outrageous and, if necessary, take control of the entire school.

In hand. And this candidate is exactly Umbridge, who loves to make trouble, and is the most suitable candidate.

Louis turned his eyes away from Umbridge and looked at the place that originally belonged to Hagrid. There was still no one there. Even Gramplan, who was supposed to be Hagrid's substitute teacher, had not appeared. Could it be that this year

Care of Magical Creatures class has been cancelled?

Just as he was thinking about this, Moody and another witch walked in from the side door of the teacher's chair. She was wearing a hat on her head, so Louis could not see her appearance. The witch naturally sat where Hagrid had been.

In his seat, he was talking to Snape and the others next to him.

The figure of the witch made Louis feel familiar. When he asked Harry, who was sitting opposite him, about them, the door of the auditorium opened.

A long line of first-year freshmen were photographed, following Professor McGonagall into the auditorium with frightened expressions.

Minerva McGonagall, Head of Gryffindor, was holding a stool with an old hat on it.

There are many small holes on the edge of the hat, as if it has been used for centuries.

Teacher McGonagall placed it right in front of the teacher's desk and signaled all the freshmen to line up in two rows and move back.

Everyone in the auditorium fell silent. In the blink of an eye, the hat opened its mouth and made that deep and low voice. It seemed to be telling a story that had been passed down for a thousand years:

"I was just a new hat a long time ago. At that time, Hogwarts had not yet been built. There were four founders of the noble school. They thought that they would never be separated from each other."

"The same goal unites them, and they have the same goal: to become the best magic school in the world. To pass on knowledge and continue knowledge. However, they never dreamed that what would greet them in the end would be the old and dead.

Split."

"What better friends in the world than Gryffindor and Slytherin. If you count Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw."

"They have their own ideas to recruit students and impart all their knowledge."

....

"Although I must complete the task every year and divide each new student into four parts, I am worried that such a division will lead to collapse due to my fear."

"Oh, that's dangerous and terrifying. Hogwarts is facing an unprecedented disaster, and the sworn enemies outside the school are eyeing it."

"We have to fight together or everything will fall apart from within."

"I must tell you, I must warn you. The sorting begins now."

The Sorting Hat fell silent once again, sparse applause sounded from all around, but it was also accompanied by the whispers of students whispering to each other.
