Promotion and salary increase start at Hogwarts

Luo Cheng ignored Lockhart because Dumbledore had already walked towards him.

"Professor Luo Cheng, I heard that you took the Knight Bus to school with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley?"

"Yes, principal."

Luo Cheng was not surprised how Dumbledore knew. Hogwarts had many secrets. As the principal, Dumbledore probably had many special powers. It was perfectly normal for him to know how they got in.

"I drank too much last night, so I got up late and missed the Hogwarts Express, but I happened to run into Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, who were also stopped in front of platform 9?

Someone cast a shielding spell on the entrance and they couldn't get in. I took them both to school by the way. Otherwise, the two boys had already planned to drive Arthur Weasley's magic car to school. If so,

Principal, you may have seen the report in the Evening Prophet that "Ford Anglia can fly, Muggles are shocked"."

Luo Cheng poured himself a glass of butterbeer.

"Principal, would you like some?"

"Oh! I think I know what caused it!"

Before Dumbledore could answer, Gilderoy Lockhart, unwilling to be left alone, came over and interjected, saying that this guy was really bored and had been eavesdropping on their conversation because he couldn't find anyone else after Professor Trelawney was drunk.

Faculty and staff who are willing to brag with him.

"I think it may be a prank by a vampire from outside, maybe they just came from Eastern Europe. I know their habits very well. There are too many vampires in Eastern Europe and they are rude, such as Romania, where vampires can even openly visit wizard bars. I'm here

I wrote about my experience in "Traveling with a Vampire". The vampire who always wanted to sneak up on me was very keen on this kind of boring prank - of course, I have helped him get rid of this bad habit, and he no longer wants to

As a prank, I started eating carrots instead."

"Thank you for your advice, Professor Lockhart, I will send someone to check."

Dumbledore said with a smile.

The Sorting Ceremony is still in progress. The new students of Hogwarts School have to wear the Sorting Hat to decide which house they should go to study. The hat will shout out the house they are most suitable for. This year's students are better than last year.

There are fewer, so the branching is completed quickly.

Dumbledore stood up and began to speak.

"Welcome!" said Professor Dumbledore, his beard sparkling in the light of the candle. "Welcome to Hogwarts in the new school year! I have a few words to say to all of you.

“What’s even more gratifying is,” he continued, “this year, I’m happy to welcome a new teacher to our team.

"He is Professor Gilderoy Lockhart. I'm sure many of you have heard of him. He graciously agreed to fill the vacancy in the Defense Against the Dark Arts course."

The girls in the audience clapped wildly, while the boys looked uninterested. But Lockhart was very happy. He stood up and bowed to everyone, like a popular superstar.

"thanks, thanks!"

"Then I have one more thing to announce. According to the minister's education order, the ideological and moral education class has been listed as a compulsory course open to all grades. It will also be officially opened to everyone from this year. The teacher is still Professor Luo Cheng."

There was some sporadic, not very enthusiastic applause from below, but Luo Cheng didn't take it seriously because his teaching was very boring and he never gave any key points. Only junior students who had never taken his class would applaud.

"But having said that, these dead kids really don't understand the principle of respecting teachers and moral principles. It seems that we have to give them a few punishments this year."
