The Big Boss Behind Hogwarts

Dumbledore returned the rest of the time to the sorting ceremony.

The Sorting Hat seems to have pressed the button called excitement, talking non-stop to each new student.

Professor McGonagall put the sorting hat on the freshman's head with a dark face, and then took it off without waiting for the hat to finish speaking.

With such a hand speed, after a few minutes, it was finally the turn of the last freshman. Penello stretched his neck and looked around excitedly.

"Qiu Zhang!"

Professor McGonagall read out the name of the last freshman, his expression softened a little, and he handed the hat to Zhang Qiu who was walking towards him.

Professor McGonagall was one of the few people who knew about the secret discussions between the Zhang family and Dumbledore.

Zhang Qiu put on the Sorting Hat and sat upright on the chair. The hat couldn't wait to say, "You have a very good mind and flexible thinking. You must be an excellent Ravenclaw!"

Ravenclaw?

Although he was not assigned to Moriarty's Slytherin, Zhang Qiu thought it was pretty good.

Who said being close to Moriarty meant being sorted into Slytherin?

Zhang Qiu remembered that Grandpa Zhang Ye and her father both said that the primary purpose of coming to Hogwarts was to learn magic, and getting close to Moriarty was only incidental.

The truth that the Zhang family needs to investigate will never fall on an 11-year-old girl!

Zhang Qiu accepted the sorting results without any burden, took off his hat and put it on the chair, and walked towards the Ravenclaw table in a leisurely manner.

The eaglets gave warm applause to welcome the new students, and Penello waved his arms: "Qiu, here!"

At the same time, Professor McGonagall walked away holding the sorting hat. The sorting ceremony was over, and there would always be quite a commotion at this time.

However, today the young wizards all looked at Dumbledore, they did not forget the headmaster's decision

The white wizard stood up and said loudly: "Alright children, I know you are very hungry, but allow me to say a few more words.

Because there have been some changes this year that I think you need to know. "

The students became serious and listened quietly.

Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction, and smiled slightly: "First of all, I would like to say that in the Quidditch World Cup that ended a few months ago, our Hogwarts Mr. Moriarty Slytherin led the British team to win Champion!

For this reason, I would like to present him with the school's special contribution award in recognition of his contribution to Hogwarts. "

Thunderous applause and cheers resounded in the auditorium. The fact that Moriarty led the team to win the championship has spread throughout Europe, and every little wizard knows it.

Students from Muggle families also learned about the general situation under the popular science of their companions.

The warm atmosphere lasted for a long time, and Dumbledore had to call Fox, and the phoenix's cry made everyone quiet.

"I know you guys are as excited as I am, I even want to have a party at school, but it won't be too late..."

Dumbledore looked at Moriarty with a smile, which made Moriarty a little puzzled.

"I wanted to give you a surprise without telling you, but Minister Fudge has just come to power and is so busy, I think it's the best choice for me to take the initiative to tell you."

The smile on Dumbledore's face widened, "In recognition of Moriarty's service to Great Britain.

The Ministry of Magic, the Wizengamot, and the Knights of Merlin unanimously decided to award Moriarty Slytherin the Order of Merlin Second Class!

The awarding ceremony will be held in October, when that time comes, Hogwarts can hold a grand party! "

"Oh oh oh!!!"

The atmosphere suddenly ignited.

The little wizards stood up and applauded excitedly, calling out Moriarty's name.

The little snakes would like to raise their glasses to Moriarty, to celebrate Moriarty's greater glory for the Snake Academy.

"Winning the World Cup took place during the summer vacation. I thought the principal wouldn't give us college points, but I didn't expect that sir to be honored!"

Jericho's voice was loud, covering the Dean's table.

Du Wayne heard it. Although he felt that the honors were condescending, he had heard of Merlin's name. He stared at Moriarty and wondered what he was thinking.

Moriarty was a little surprised. He hadn't thought about the Merlin Medal. When he mentioned Merlin, he thought of two giants flirting in the air...

Don't mention it!

Moriarty smiled on the surface and nodded to everyone. After the atmosphere calmed down, Dumbledore spoke again.

"Then the second thing, as I mentioned earlier, is that our Minister for Magic has become Mr. Cornelius Fudge."

Speaking of the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore was much more official, and the young wizards became serious again.

"Old students know that I have always opposed Hogwarts students' participation in politics. I have never mentioned the policies and arrangements of the Ministry of Magic in school before, but our Minister Fudge passed a resolution this year.

That's the Joint Education Program! "Dumbledore said, and glanced at Moriarty indistinctly.

Moriarty remembered that the joint education plan was proposed to the Holy Twenty-Eight Saints in Malfoy Manor during the summer vacation of his first grade.

It seems that, as Fudge said, the deployment of the joint education plan was launched as soon as he took office.

Well, not bad, Fudge is quite obedient, so I won't change him, let Fudge sit in that seat for a while for the time being.

At this time, there were whispers in the auditorium, and the students were still a little unfamiliar with the joint education plan.

Even if a few senior students understand the literal meaning, it is difficult to see the deep meaning behind it.

Dumbledore gave an excellent explanation: "Simply speaking, after the implementation of this plan, there will be exchange students, and there will be more and more activities like the Triwizard Tournament."

"Exchange Students?"

"Triwizard Tournament!"

The students kept exclaiming, and the auditorium suddenly looked like a vegetable market.

But Dumbledore seemed to know what to do to silence the students.

He said: "In this regard, there is one person who has more say than me, let's hear what he has to say!"

The students fell silent instantly, and almost everyone looked at Moriarty, thinking that Moriarty was that person!

"Wow, this is the first time I stand up and not hear cheers."

Lockhart's voice sounded from the professor's seat, and the students turned their heads to see that Lockhart stood up with a smile on his face!

"Mr. Lockhart, are you the one that Headmaster Dumbledore said?" Charlie asked loudly.

"I know Mr. Moriarty is very popular, but I didn't expect you to question me, which really makes me sad." Lockhart pretended to make a crying expression, which made some girls laugh.

"So, I think I should introduce myself. I am Gilderoy Lockhart, a well-known European author, best-selling novelist, and six-time winner of the "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award..."

When Moriarty heard this, he called him a good guy.

He remembered that when he first met Lockhart, Lockhart had only won the Charming Smile Award three times, and now it has been awarded six times. Sure enough, Lockhart is actually a model!

Lockhart introduced his title in a habitual way, and then, as if throwing a heavy bomb, he shouted: "...the Ministry of Magic has recently appointed a joint education ambassador and a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. This is me. , Gilderoy Lockhart!"

"Wow~"

The little wizards stood up and applauded the gorgeous title.

Lockhart enjoyed listening for a while, and then said: "Dear friends, dear Hogwarts, I want to say, I'm back!"

"This time I come back, I bring the friendship of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft in the United States, and I will pass on what I have learned all my life and the experience I have used to deal with black magic countless times!"

The students applauded loudly. The image Lockhart established in the book was too high, and everyone believed it.

Not to mention that Lockhart killed the Quinlan family last year - so many wizards think so.

Many of the little wizards present cast malicious glances at Du Wayne.

"Look, Mr. Lockhart has come to be our professor, he is a vampire buster! That little vampire looks good!"

Du Wayne seemed to have never heard of it, just staring at Lockhart.

Princess Sophie circled restlessly under Du Wayne's feet, she knew that her master had made an agreement with Dumbledore.

There is such a clause in the agreement: you are not allowed to conflict with the professor, you must listen to the professor's words.

Otherwise, his master would have rushed forward to teach Lockhart a lesson.

Lockhart didn't know what Master and Servant of Vanjoy was thinking, he was still expressing himself loudly, but he didn't forget his mission.

"Listen well friends, as Headmaster Dumbledore said, the joint education plan is slowly unfolding this year.

The Hogwarts school, the Ministry of Magic, and the Twelve School Managers have tentatively made a plan to invite students from other magic schools to come to Hogwarts for magic exchanges!

I brought back the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United States, and our respected Professor Nicole LeMay and Professor Perenelle brought the friendship of the Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France. "

Lockhart said, bending over to pay tribute to Nicole Flamel and his wife.

Moriarty noticed that Nicole Flamel and his wife looked indifferent, and their eyes were mostly on Du Wayne.

Think about the two old people who have lived for more than 600 years, and may have some intersection with the Vanjo blood.

After paying his respects, Lockhart cleared his throat and said loudly: "That's it, in the next semester, we are very likely to study with young wizards from the United States and France, maybe we will also hold an event."
