"That looks like I've done a good thing?" Malfoy stroked his chin.
"Yeah, maybe she even likes you." Pan Xi said slightly sour.
"Hey, do you think the smell here is a bit strong?" Malfoy decided to avoid the topic, and instead mentioned the bad smell in the carriage.
Not to mention not paying much attention to it, when Malfoy mentioned it, Pansy immediately noticed the unpleasant smell emanating from the carriage. It was a faint smell of musty and straw, which made Pansy feel as if he was in a place in England. On the farm in the remote countryside, the occasional bumps made her even more sick.
"Fresh air!" Malfoy waved his wand, making the smell in the car better.
It has to be admitted that the convenience of wizards in daily life is much higher than that of ordinary Muggles, which is a fact.
Malfoy suddenly felt that something was leaning on his shoulders. It turned out that Pansy had fallen asleep again. She was really tired today, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was physically and mentally exhausted.
The carriage continued to roll forward. In front of it was a pair of magnificent cast iron gates. There were many stone pillars on both sides. There was a winged wild boar at one end. Two tall dementors wearing hoods stood guard on both sides of the gate, and the surrounding was cold. And dark, there is always a depressing aura. When passing by, Malfoy lit up the light of the Patronus in the carriage, and he felt sensitively that the two dementors also took a few steps back in disgust. .
"Don't worry, you will find your proper home soon." Malfoy clenched his fists, and made the final decision on the fate of these inherently evil magical creatures.
The carriage set foot on a sloping driveway, the Thestrals pulling the carriage increased its speed, many turrets and turrets gradually approached them, and finally the carriage wobbled to a stop.
He and Pansy got out of the carriage slowly and walked up the stone steps, through the huge oak door, and then to the deep front hall. In order to take care of Pansy, Malfoy slowed down his pace as much as possible, revealing that Through a small door, Malfoy looked into the hall and found that the interior was not particularly bright, as if the magic ceiling had failed.
"I'll take you to Madam Pomfrey first." Malfoy said to Pansy. He saw that Pansy's face was getting paler, and it looked like he was going to faint at any moment. It would be safer to go to the school doctor.
"Well, Pansy nodded obediently."
After Pancy was settled, Malfoy had time to attend the sorting ceremony for new students, but it was estimated that it should have ended, and they had wasted a lot of time just now.
Walking down the stairs and into the auditorium, Malfoy saw a black sea of pointed hats, and the faces of the students were illuminated by the candles floating above the table. As expected, Professor Flitwick was holding He walked out of the auditorium wearing an ancient hat and a triangular stool, which represented the end of the sorting ceremony.
Malfoy walked towards the Slytherin desk quietly and swiftly. When they saw him, many students took off their hats to show respect. Some freshmen also followed suit and saluted their seniors. Even if they were ignorant and didn't know why they did it, there were still a few people who stood up just to make room for Malfoy.
"The charm of prestige." Malfoy sighed silently in his heart, and he didn't know whether sarcasm was a more complicated emotion surging in his heart.
Professor Dumbledore on the stage stood up and was about to speak, so all the students stopped their whispering.
Professor Dumbledore looked very old. But now he can still be described as hale and hearty, always giving students and teachers an energetic impression, his hair and beard are several feet long, he wears semi-circular glasses, and his nose is quite hooked , except for the freshmen, most of the Hogwarts students are full of respect for him, and there are many things for the freshmen who grew up listening to his legend.
"Welcome!" said Professor Dumbledore, his beard gleaming in the light of the candles. "Welcome to Hogwarts for the new school year! I have a few words to say to you all, one of which is very important and serious, and I thought it would be better to put Make this clear."
After that Dumbledore talked about the dementors stationed outside Hogwarts. Even though he didn't like these evil magical creatures wandering around the school, it was an order from the Ministry of Magic after all. If he didn't want to fight with magic If all fall out and maintain harmony on the surface, they can only choose to endure.
So he specially emphasized the importance of safety, reminded the prefects, and gave a few students who often violated the school rules a warning look.
Percy of the Weasley family puffed up his chest and looked around, showing the majesty of the prefect, which left a deep impression on many students. Dumbledore looked around and found that no one spoke , so he cleared his throat and began to speak next.
"It's more pleasing," he continued. "This year, I'm delighted to welcome two new teachers to our team."
"The first is Professor Lupine, who kindly agreed to fill the vacancy in Defense Against the Dark Arts."
There were only sporadic and not very enthusiastic applause among the students, but the students who were in the same carriage as him just now applauded enthusiastically, because his patron saint spell protected everyone.
As for the other students, they don't know anything about it. People are visual creatures. Compared with other well-dressed teachers, Lupine's clothes are too shabby. Maybe only in cleanliness can he surpass Sne Puba, this made many students have a bad first impression of him.
And Snape had been staring at Lupin along the teacher's long table, his eyes were deep and dark. Of course, this was not because Snape felt that the two of them might have similar dressing styles, and the feelings of sympathy for each other had arisen. His sallow and thin face was filled with a distorted expression, which was hatred beyond anger.
Since there is a love house and a black house, there will also be a hate house and a black house.
If it is undeniable that Snape hated James the most in the group of four, then it is quite normal for the other three to be hated jointly as part of the small group.
Back then, Lupine was entrusted by Dumbledore with the important task of prefect, but it seems that he didn't play much role in the relationship between classmates. Should James and Snape hate or hate, should they fight or fight.
Of course, regardless of this dereliction of duty, the grievances between the two cannot be resolved simply through mediation.
Anyway, Snape wouldn't give Lupine a good look.
"As for the second teacher we have appointed," continued Dumbledore, "well, I regret to inform you that Professor Kettleburn, our Care of Magical Creatures teacher, retired at the end of last year in order to have more time and The rest of his little rascals stayed together. I am happy to say, however, that none other than Rubeus Hagrid came to fill his place, and Hagrid has agreed to be a teacher as well as a gamekeeper."
Harry, Hermione, and Ron looked at each other, and couldn't help being a little surprised. The unhappiness of the previous few people was temporarily put aside, and they applauded enthusiastically. Not long ago, Hermione and Ron were fighting for Crookshanks. Scabbers' dangerous debate, but now they're all happy for Hagrid, letting go of their grievances.
So the applause on the Gryffindor table was particularly intense.
"Isn't that big man once said to be the mastermind of the murder case? It's a gift for such a person to be a guard, how can he be our teacher?" The students on the Slytherin table began to whisper, so Dumbledore's reaction was naturally within Dumbledore's expectations.
"Quiet." Dumbledore's voice was unusually loud and full of energy. "During this holiday, I had the honor to invite Madame Maxime, the headmaster of Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Magic, and Mr. Karkaroff, the headmaster of Durmstrang, as notaries, and invited the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, to judge and judge again , finally came to the conclusion that the murderer of the case fifty years ago was someone else, and that Mr. Hagrid was innocent, and soon we will be able to get his innocence announcement in the "Daily Prophet."
"It is conceivable that the position of this news will not be very big." Ron was a little depressed, and his father often complained about certain styles of the Ministry of Magic. This kind of self-defeating information will definitely be placed in the corner and try not to Occupying the page was already the biggest concession for them, and Ron immediately figured it out. In short, Hagrid's grievances can still be cleared, which is a good thing for them.
All of them cast their eyes on Hagrid, and saw that his face was flushed, staring at his big hands, his smile was hidden in his messy black beard, Hagrid also looked at them, Can't help grinning even more happily.
Malfoy could only sigh. Hagrid's various aspects were not enough to support him to be an excellent teacher, but there was no way for the headmaster to speak in person.
"Well, I think the important things have been said," said Dumbledore, "let's eat."
The golden plates and goblets in front of the students were suddenly full of food and drinks. They were all very hungry and started to eat the food in front of them. The auditorium echoed with laughter and the clash of knives and forks. Maybe the new teacher didn't satisfy them very much, and the arrival of the dementors also cast a shadow over Hogwarts, but the excitement and excitement of the start of school still made them ignore all this for the time being. ==The artifact of novel chasing books on this site is now on the shelves!
