Learn magic from Hogwarts

As expected, Noah had almost no chance to go out in the following days. Fortunately for Cooper, Christina basically prohibited Noah from going out alone, and she didn't even allow him to have much communication with Muggles or Squibs.

As a result, Noah was banned from buying Muggle items.

Noah: "..."

Okay, his mother has been a little nervous lately, so he and his father can only give in.

In this case Noah is getting ready for school.

The textbook catalog for the new semester has been brought over by the owl of Hogwarts. Most of the books are enough for the first grade. The only ones that need to be supplemented are the textbooks for the Herbology and Potions classes.

I heard that their new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is a wizard from another country and was specially invited by Dumbledore.

Thinking of the reason why the previous professor left, Noah prayed that this professor could stick around for one semester.

Compared to boring self-study, it is obviously better to have a teacher teach.

…

As the first day of school arrived, Noah once again boarded the Hogwarts Express.

Before he entered the independent carriage, he met Eve in the public carriage.

"Noah!" Eve hugged the big cat and waved to Noah. She said to her sisters and walked towards Noah, "Long time no see."

"Long time no see, Eve." Noah nodded to her, glanced at the sisters behind her, and simply sat down in this public carriage.

Eve was startled, then showed a sweet smile and sat down next to Noah.

It didn't take long for Meng Tai and the others to arrive. They were stunned when they saw Noah sitting in the public area, but they didn't say anything and found a nearby seat to sit down.

After getting to know each other, everyone quickly started communicating.

The communication between Slytherins naturally involves many "big events".

"Noah, have you heard about MACUSA?"

Noah, who was asked the question, looked up at Warrington, who asked the question, and lowered his eyes as if nothing had happened: "I know something."

His silver-gray eyes were as cold as ever, so the others didn't realize anything was unusual, but each told them the news they knew.

Let’s not say whether it is true or false, but the discussion was very intense.

"I heard that Muggles accidentally discovered wizards." Warrington said with certainty, as if he had actually seen it.

"How did I hear it was a squib?" Montague expressed his doubts unceremoniously.

Morgan on the side looked at Noah silently: "Noah, what do you think?"

The group of people suddenly became quiet.

Noah closed the book in his hand: "Who knows."

Montague and others looked at each other in confusion, keenly aware of Noah's lack of interest in this matter. After a brief silence, Eve decisively changed the topic.

"By the way, what did you do during the holidays?"

Warrington was the first to share his own story: "My parents and I went..."

Seeing that the topic became heated again, Noah kept quiet.

Keya was still sleeping and was not disturbed by the noisy sound at all.

Soon the train started and the vehicle headed towards Hogwarts.

The familiar trolley appeared again, and the unique sweet aroma of Honeydukes soon spread throughout the carriage.

Eve bought some drinks to calm down the heated discussion.

The topics discussed by others have unconsciously shifted from interesting things about the holidays to the upcoming new semester.

The happiest thing for the second grade students is naturally the sorting ceremony for the first grade students.

As the conductors of the sorting ceremony last year, they will sit on the long table and watch the first graders perform the ceremony this year.

This is something that the second graders look forward to, even Slytherin cannot avoid it.

Noah also had some expectations for this and simply joined the conversation.

The topic soon turned to the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

"I heard that this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is from South America." Eve is naturally the best informed.

"South America?" Others were stunned. There should be a magic school in South America, right?

Noah heard the familiar terms and looked up at Eve: "I remember there was a Castrobushe magic school there, specializing in herbalism and magical animals."

"That's right," Eve nodded, "I heard that this professor graduated from Castrobushe School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

A group of young Slytherins were stunned and immediately became curious: "Then he knows a lot about magical creatures?"

The Defense Against the Dark Arts course is more about teaching them to defend against threats from magical animals. Real black magic does not make up the majority.

And compared to reading normal textbooks, they are certainly more curious about close contact with the magical creatures that appear in books.

So when they heard that this professor was good at magical biology, the little snakes couldn't help but look forward to the course.

What, second graders shouldn't encounter any dangerous magical creatures?

Well, they don't choose. Slytherin is greedy but also knows how to be satisfied in a timely manner.

The others continued to discuss it enthusiastically, but Noah inappropriately remembered the professor from Castrobushe School he met in the United States.

It shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?

Probably not, that was the professor who studied at Castrobshe, so he wouldn't suddenly come to Hogwarts to teach.

Noah didn't think any more and jumped into the topic.

The train arrived at the station while we were chatting unknowingly. This time Hagrid still held up his lantern and shouted for the first graders to assemble. Noah glanced at it from afar and turned away without interest.

This time they don't need to take the first grade crossing the river, but go to school early through the bridge.

The auditorium was still noisy, and everyone was very excited as the semester had just begun. Even the ghosts enthusiastically greeted the students they hadn't seen for a long time.

Well, the good news is that there is still no sign of Peeves.

The students had relaxed a lot before the professors came. They gradually became quiet after Professor Dumbledore came in with a group of professors.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Noah felt that many professors seemed to be looking at him, especially their dean, whose eyes seemed to be much more fierce than last year.

Noah: "?"

It’s been a year since I saw you, where did you offend the dean? He was obviously much kinder before he left!

Before he could think about it clearly, Dean Snape turned away his eyes coldly. He never had a good face, so no other students realized that something was wrong.

After waiting patiently for a while, Professor McGonagall led the freshmen in.

This is a repertoire that the senior students will not miss every year. On the one hand, they like to see the anxious expressions of the first graders, and on the other hand, it is to welcome their new junior students.

I wonder what kind of junior students will be there this year?
