New Professor at Hogwarts

"Welcome, oh, welcome old students and new students."

Dumbledore stood up. Although he was old, he always gave people a sense of energy. His silver-white hair and beard were several feet long, and he wore half-moon glasses. One of them was particularly crooked. nose.

Xia Ran knew that Aberforth punched him at Ariana Dumbledore's funeral.

The headmaster of Hogwarts faced all the students with a very kind and kind smile.

Harry felt truly calm for the first time since the dementors entered the train compartment and caused him to pass out.

"Welcome the old students back to Hogwarts, and welcome the new students to Hogwarts for the first time!" Dumbledore said, the candlelight shining on his beard, "Before dining, I'd better make this clear before your brains get confused while you enjoy your delicious meal."

The little wizards laughed softly.

Dumbledore cleared his throat and continued: "Our school currently welcomes several dementors from Azkaban. They are sent by the Ministry of Magic to perform official duties. You must already know this, because they are in The Hogwarts Express was searched earlier."

He paused briefly. It was obvious that he was not happy about the Ministry of Magic sending dementors to guard the school. When Xia Ran went to the principal's office, he was writing a letter to Fudge.

Xia Ran believed that this was not the first time Dumbledore had written to Minister of Magic Fudge about the Dementors this summer.

"They are stationed at every entrance to the school." Dumbledore continued, "I must make it clear that when they are there, no one is allowed to leave the school without permission. No tricks, tricks or disguises can deceive the dementors. — even an invisibility cloak!”

He added quietly at the end, and Harry, Hermione, and Ron at the Gryffindor table looked at each other.

"It is not in the nature of Dementors to understand excuses and begging for mercy, so I remind everyone here not to give them a reason to harm you. I hope that the prefects and our newly elected Head Boy and Girl will ensure that no student comes into contact with a Dementor. There was a conflict.”

As the new Head Boy, Percy Weasley puffed out his chest with dignity.

Dumbledore looked around the Great Hall with a serious expression. No one moved or made a sound.

"Okay, the unpleasant things are over, let's change to a more pleasant topic." Dumbledore continued, "I am very happy that we have welcomed two new teachers."

"First, there was Professor Lupin, who readily agreed to fill the Defense Against the Dark Arts vacancy."

There were only a few cold and sparse applause in the auditorium. The students seemed to have no hope for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, especially when other teachers wore their best robes to attend the opening ceremony. Lupin Wearing a tattered wizard's robe, he looked even more ragged, which did not easily inspire confidence.

Snape stared at Lupine with a mixture of anger and hatred, an expression that made him want to eat Lupine alive.

"As for our second new teacher, he is an acquaintance of everyone." Dumbledore waited for the sparse applause to welcome Professor Lupin to calm down before continuing, "I have to tell you with great regret that our Professor Kettleburn, Care of Magical Creatures, has decided to retire due to his advanced age, in order to have more time to enjoy his happy life in old age. However, I am also pleased to announce that the person who will soon fill his vacancy is not It was none other than Rubeus Hagrid, who agreed to accept this teaching position in addition to his duties as gamekeeper."

Xia Ran and Lupine clapped. Some professors were applauding, such as Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, while some professors were indifferent, such as Professor Snape and Professor Trelawney.

At the student table, the Gryffindor applause was particularly enthusiastic. Hagrid's big face turned red, and his joyful smile was hidden behind his shaggy and tangled black beard.

The applause at the Hufflepuff table was relatively normal, neither warm nor cold, but the applause at the Ravenclaw and Slytherin tables was almost non-existent.

"Okay, there are so many important things, let's have a banquet!" Dumbledore said at the end.

On several long dining tables, gold plates full of delicious food suddenly appeared, and fragrant drinks or wine appeared in tall wine glasses.

"It's the taste in my memory. The food at Hogwarts is still as delicious as ever." Professor Lupine sighed, taking a few portions of food and eating it slowly. He used to save money on meals when he could, so where can he be like this? Eat and drink like this?

"Cheers!" Xia Ran took a sip of red wine and said, "Remus, you will have good days ahead."

"Haha, yes." Professor Luping laughed.

Professor Trelawney asked in a low voice: "Xia Ran, do you know Lupine?"

"Relatively familiar." Xia Ran replied.

It was truly a delicious feast. The auditorium echoed with laughter and laughter. The panic and fear caused by the dementors on the train had all dissipated.

Finally, after the last few pieces of pumpkin pie disappeared on the golden platter, Dumbledore announced that everyone could go to bed. Sharon said goodbye to Professor Trelawney and left the great hall with Professor Lupin. Before walking out of the auditorium, they saw Harry, Ron, and Hermione congratulating Hagrid.

Problems arose in Hagrid's first class in the original time and space. Although Draco Malfoy had a lot of problems, there was no need for Hagrid to use a more dangerous animal to teach in his first class.

"Perhaps I should take the time to remind Hagrid." Xia Ran thought to himself, separated from Professor Luping, their offices were not on the same floor, and he went straight back to his office.

That night, before Xia Ran went to bed, Sirius' head flashed in the fire of the fireplace, as if he was dazzled.

Xia Ran used Floo powder to contact Fremont Manor. This time, his head appeared in the fireplace of Fremont Manor.

"What's wrong, Sirius?"

Sirius stood in front of the fireplace and said, "The newspaper said that dementors are stationed at Hogwarts. Is Harry okay?"

"Well, it depends on what you say." Xia Ran smiled, "Harry did faint because of the dementors on the train."

"Damn Fudge!" Sirius became angry and said, "Is Hogwarts a place where dementors should be? He is the Minister of Magic, but why is he acting like a brainless idiot!"

"Don't worry, Dumbledore is at Hogwarts, and there are so many professors and teachers there, so there won't be any problems." Xia Ran said, "No more chatting, I'm going to bed first, there are still classes tomorrow."

"OK, good night."

Xia Ran raised her head from the green flames of the office fireplace, washed herself, and then went to bed.

I owe a total of 2 chapters. I made up 1 chapter today. I still owe 1 chapter and will make up tomorrow.
