The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

"Peeves, I'm warning you -" Professor McGonagall came late like a large police force in a gangster movie, but she stopped mid-sentence because she witnessed Peeves being raped by a flashy guy. The whole process of the big balloon flying upside down.

It really flew out upside down.

The sound of weight hitting flesh echoed through the Hogwarts foyer, and it hurt to hear it.

Professor McGonagall was silent: This is not what she thought!

She originally thought that the students were being teased by Peeves, but who would have thought that the students seemed to be fighting back and forth with Peeves?

Peeves did somersaults in mid-air several times before he regained his balance. He held the ice ball, his broad face slumped, his eyes flashing with vengeance.

However, Tom, Hermione, and Cedric raised their wands at the same time and pointed the tip of the wand at it, which made Peeves dare not move rashly. In addition, Professor McGonagall had already rushed over, so in the end he could only hold the ice ball and curse. The ground flew away.

"Twenty points for Ravenclaw and ten points for Hufflepuff." Professor McGonagall immediately praised the three people who successfully stopped Peeves.

"Okay, come into the auditorium quickly." She ordered the students jammed in the hall. When the four Toms walked past her, a smile finally appeared on her stern face: "What a great combination of spells."

"Thank you for the compliment." Tom was also very satisfied with the operation just now, and then followed the students into the auditorium.

The Great Hall of Hogwarts is still as splendid as ever, and it has been specially decorated for the arrival of the new semester. Everything has a brand new look.

After entering the auditorium, the three of them separated. Cedric walked towards the Hufflepuff table, while Tom and Hermione found two seats next to the Ravenclaw table. Qiu Zhang sat down. next to them.

After sitting down, Tom looked towards the staff table and found that there were only two empty seats there. One was for Hagrid, who was crossing the lake with the first-year students, and the other was for Professor McGonagall, who was cleaning up her clothes. The mess left behind by the skin ghost.

Most of the remaining people on the staff bench were familiar faces: Professor Flitwick was sitting on the cushions, and next to him was Professor Sprout. The two were chatting with Professor Sinistra, who was teaching astronomy. Next to Professor Sinistra is Snape, next to Snape is the empty seat belonging to Professor McGonagall, and Professor McGonagall's seat is next to Dumbledore. Tom noticed that Dumbledore was looking at the ceiling motionlessly, as if thinking about something.

The only unfamiliar face on the staff bench was the man to Dumbledore's right. This man also attracted the attention of most students in the auditorium. Every inch of skin on his face is scarred, his mouth is slanted, the tip of his nose disappears, and he wears a magic eye.

Tom knew just by looking at this face that this man was the legendary Mad-Eye Moody. At this time, Moody was constantly scanning the corners of the auditorium with his one eye, while examining every student entering the auditorium. The students in the audience also whispered unceremoniously, passing gossip about the new professor to each other.

This Moody should be real, right? The idea suddenly occurred to Tom. Crouch Jr. should be the only person under Voldemort who can take on the important task of being an undercover agent. If Moody was replaced, there was no way they wouldn't know about it - of course, if Dumbledore wanted to go fishing, it might be possible.

Voldemort has not made much noise since his resurrection, which makes people have to be wary.

Finally, the door to the auditorium opened again, and Hagrid walked in with the soaked freshmen. Professor McGonagall stood in front of the staff table carrying a triangular stool and a sorting hat, ready for the sorting ceremony.

After listening to a brand new sorting song, the sorting ceremony began. Tom, like every Ravenclaw student, applauded vigorously to welcome the new students assigned to Ravenclaw.

Finally, with Kevin Whitby being sorted into Hufflepuff, the sorting ceremony finally came to an end. At this time, Tom was already ravenous with hunger.

"Fortunately, there are not too many students in the wizarding world. If there were hundreds of people sorted into different houses at one time, I would probably starve to death." He complained to Hermione in a low voice.

Hermione rolled her eyes: "You won't starve to death if you eat an hour or two later!"

After the sorting ceremony, Dumbledore stood up. Like all headmasters, Dumbledore had to give a speech at the opening ceremony. However, no one who knew him well showed any signs of impatience, because they knew that Dumbledore would not let people wait on an empty stomach.

Sure enough, Dumbledore only said one word: "Eat!"

The empty plate in front of me was suddenly filled with food. Tom happily took all kinds of delicious food onto his plate. Although it was all disappointing British cuisine now, he knew that students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang would come to Hogwarts this year, so the fancy potato products in front of him did not ruin his mood.

Not to mention Nordic schools like Durmstrang, Beauxbatons is in southern France, and the kitchen at Hogwarts will definitely provide extremely sumptuous French food.

At the staff table, Mad-Eye Moody was eating the food in front of him very carefully. He had to check almost every dish before putting it in his mouth. He also refused to use the knives and forks provided by Hogwarts. Wine glass.

His strange behavior attracted the attention of most students.

"What a weirdo." Qiu Zhang, who was sitting next to Hermione, watched Moody push away the pumpkin juice in front of him, took out a curved wine bottle from his cloak and took a sip. He couldn't hold back his heart anymore. Feeling the urge to complain, he started to complain to Hermione.

"No way, he has gone through too many things." Tom still wanted to say a few good words for Moody, "He has been on the front line of fighting the dark wizards, and he just retired a few years ago - his complete After going through the Wizarding War, it is said that he captured half of the Death Eaters in Azkaban."

Listening to Tom's introduction to Moody, the attitude of the people around him towards Moody immediately changed.

"The scars on his body were all left by dark wizards. It's normal for him to become a little sensitive - and your focus is wrong. As a former Auror, Moody should have come here to teach Defense Against Dark Arts. Our Defense Against the Dark Arts is sure to be exciting this school year.”

Hearing what Tom said, everyone became excited.

After the dessert disappeared from the plate, Professor Dumbledore stood up again. He first announced a few announcements and then introduced Mad-Eye Moody to everyone.

Finally, he said in a regretful tone: "I am very sorry to tell you that this year's College Cup Quidditch match has been cancelled."

There was an explosion in the auditorium.
