Starting Over at Hogwarts

Chapter 121 The arrival of the new professor Newt Scamander

Since no one was causing trouble, the sorting ceremony went quickly.

While the sorting ceremony for freshmen was still going on, the tall mixed-race giant Hagrid stood at the door accompanied by an old man. The two of them quietly waited for the sorting ceremony to end.

They thought they should not disturb such a solemn moment.

The old man's hair was a little messy, his expression was a little reserved, and his fingers kept fiddling with each other, as if he was still a little uncomfortable with his identity.

However, he seemed to be in good spirits. He was wearing close-fitting clothes and an exquisite woolen coat. Only the clothes were slightly stained with animal hair, making them look a little slovenly.

to be honest.

Anyone can take a quick look at it.

My first impression of this old man is that he seems to be a very honest and kind person, and he doesn't put on any airs because of his age and identity.

certainly.

Once someone notices him, they will definitely not ignore his presence.

In particular, some students from Hufflepuff House who recognized the old man's identity did not even bother with the sorting ceremony and immediately started whispering to the people around them!

"Mr. Scamander!"

Cedric's eyes couldn't help showing respect.

Even before, everyone's eyes would be attracted by the cute new student Qiu Zhang from time to time. Now when they saw the old man, they couldn't help but focus on him!

"Is it really Mr. Scamander?"

"I've seen him, and he always likes to wear that vest underneath!"

"Why is Mr. Scamander in our school?"

"Oh my God! Merlin!"

The entire Hufflepuff House students couldn't help but become a little noisy, and everyone couldn't help but discuss the old man's story with their classmates.

Nothing more.

Because this old man is very famous in Hufflepuff House.

Even Professor Sprout, the dean of Hufflepuff House, couldn't help but look at the old man standing at the door with some surprise, and quietly discussed the matter with Professor Flitwick beside him.

Dumbledore did a good job keeping the secret secret.

Until this time, no one knew that Newt Scamander had accepted his invitation.

Or rather, Newt Scamander doesn't like to show off to the outside world, because being a professor at Hogwarts is definitely an honor for a wizard.

Of course, Newt Scamander no longer needs this kind of glory.

As the world's most famous expert on magical animals in the wizarding world, Newt Scamander enjoys praise around the world because his existence has allowed many endangered protected animals in the wizarding world to survive.

Of course.

The most surprised person among them must be Professor Sylvanus Kettleburn, the teacher of Care of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts. Perhaps because he thought he was unemployed when he saw this scene?

There's nothing we can do about it.

Any Care of Magical Creatures teacher would certainly not be competing with Newt Scamander for the position, and Kettleburn wouldn't even feel offended.

and…

This class only exists because of Newt Scamander.

Even the textbooks for each grade are the works of Newt Scamander that are always used.

With the sudden appearance of Newt Scamander and Hagrid, the voices discussing him in the entire auditorium became louder and louder, and even the sorting ceremony was slightly disturbed.

Dumbledore finally couldn't sit back and watch anymore.

"An~jing!"

Dumbledore shouted to stop everyone's noise. He looked at Hagrid and Newt Scamander standing at the door, and said kindly: "It seems that I have to introduce a famous person in advance." Only with a number of magical zoologists can the sorting ceremony continue..."

"..."

The entire auditorium quickly fell silent.

Everyone present couldn't help but look at Newt Scamander.

Newt Scamander seemed to become more nervous under the gazes of hundreds of people. He fiddled with his fingers irregularly and said cautiously: "Sorry, Dumbledore, I didn't mean to disturb..."

"It's not Mr. Scamander's fault."

Hagrid stood beside him and quickly opened his mouth to take the blame on himself: "Some little guys in the Forbidden Forest are sick. Mr. Scamander is just here to help..."

"I don't mean to blame."

Dumbledore smiled and shook his head at them, and said softly: "Perhaps many of the little guys here know your honor very well. Newt, come and sit down with Hagrid quickly, and let me pay tribute to these little guys. Guys introduce their new professor.”

After finishing speaking, Dumbledore watched them hurriedly come to take their seats, then raised his head and looked at all the students present: "I'm sorry, the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Ms. Amelia Bones, in order to resist the Dark Lord Peter was so violent that he had to resign to fulfill his other responsibilities..."

This matter is well known.

Many students know that Professor Amelia Bones has taken up the position of Director of the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic, so Amelia was also mentioned by Daily Prophet reporter Rita Ski during the holidays. Specially introduced as one of the puppet members of the Ministry of Magic controlled by Dumbledore...

As for Minister of Magic Fudge's obedience to Dumbledore, another professor who once taught at Hogwarts gained the power to command all the armed forces of the Ministry of Magic. This time, the Ministry of Magic was killed by the desperate Rita Ski Specifically referred to as a puppet.

certainly.

Many people don't care about this kind of thing.

Even Dumbledore was aware of Amelia Bones' impartiality.

After finishing talking about the former professor who resigned and was promoted, Dumbledore looked at Newt Scamander sitting next to him, and his rich voice echoed in the auditorium.

"We are honored to have invited a new outstanding wizard to serve as the school's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and welcome Mr. Newt Scamander back to his alma mater!"

"Wow!"

"Mr. Scamander is our teacher!"

"Newt Scamander is going to be our teacher!"

The entire Hogwarts Great Hall immediately became more lively. This moment was no longer limited to Hufflepuff, and students from many houses couldn't help but start discussing!

There was a flush on Cedric's face, as if he had succeeded in chasing stars. He suppressed his excitement and said to his friend: "I can't believe that Mr. Scamander is our teacher... If If my father finds out, he will definitely be very envious of my luck!"

"Be sensible."

Wesson quickly patted his friend's shoulder and reminded him softly: "Mr. Scamander is our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher..."

"I know!"

Cedric nodded quickly and continued in a low voice: "Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise we would not be able to take Care of Magical Creatures as an elective course in our third grade next year, and it would be a year late to attend Mr. Scamander's class..."

"..."

this…

What else can Wesson say?

A strange idea suddenly came to Weisen's mind.

Perhaps it was the good luck he brought from joining Hufflepuff that allowed Newt Scamander, the dream teacher of Hufflepuff students, to become the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts...

No.

wrong.

Weisen quickly suppressed his random thoughts. He looked at the old man sitting in the faculty area who still looked a little reserved, and immediately began to think about the impact of this incident.

have to say.

Wesson and Grindelwald's cognitions are almost identical.

The first thought that came to Wesson's mind was that Dumbledore suddenly invited Newt Scamander to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. It must be aimed at Grindelwald, right?

Surely?

Definitely.

There were many wizards who were bewitched by Grindelwald back then.

There are very few wizards in the world who can not be influenced by Grindelwald, and can even influence other people not to be bewitched by Grindelwald. Only pure wizards like Newt Scamander can do this.

The wizards who saw Grindelwald wreaking havoc on Europe back then are already old. To be able to live to this age and still be so energetic can even be called the most suitable candidate...

Probably only Newt Scamander.

Newt Scamander really caused a lot of trouble for Grindelwald when he was young, and even made Grindelwald remember Newt's name until now...

Every now and then…

Grindelwald also often brought private goods when communicating with Wesson.

There is no doubt that Grindelwald is undoubtedly the enemy that Newt Scamander will always face. To use an inappropriate word, Grindelwald seems to be the biggest black man.

certainly.

If you want to deal with Grindelwald.

In fact, there must be another candidate in the world.

Perhaps Newt Scamander's wife Tina Goldstein is also a suitable candidate, because his wife was once an Auror. Unfortunately, his wife was born in Ilvermorny, an American magic school. May not be able to adapt to the teaching methods of Hogwarts.

Wesson thought of the last Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Amelia Bones, who taught them the horrors of Voldemort and Death Eaters last school year. Will Newt Scamander teach them about Grindel this school year? What’s really scary about Waugh?

matter…

Suddenly it became interesting.

Since Newt Scamander's new position was completely revealed, everyone's enthusiasm has slowly weakened after the initial excitement, and finally the sorting ceremony can continue.

After the opening banquet in the Hogwarts Great Hall.

Just when all the students present were about to leave, Newt Scamander seemed to be unable to sit still, and finally couldn't help but said: "I'm sorry, can Mr. Wesson Wright stay for a while? "

"..."

All the students stopped in their tracks.

This name was quite worrying for all the students last year.

Some freshmen who had just entered the school stopped involuntarily when they saw the seniors from their own college stopping, looking curiously at what happened next.

"Are you calling me?"

Weisen stood there and looked back.

A group of Hufflepuff students also stopped in place and looked back subconsciously.

Newt Scamander, the old man, couldn't help being shocked when he saw this scene. He lowered his head in embarrassment and waved his hands subconsciously: "No...it's okay...Mr. Wright, you go back and rest first." …We’ll have another chance to talk about the Icebirds.”

"..."

All right.

This Hufflepuff senior…

Maybe there is a little bit of social fear.
