Chapter 229: New Professors
It is still a familiar Great Hall bench, but some familiar faces are gone, after all, every year Hogwarts welcomes new students, but also represents the graduation and departure of seventh year students.
The familiar long table, the familiar ceiling and the countless candles that had been cast a levitation spell, but this year was a little different, that is, Professor Flitwick had formed a choir at Ravenclaw House and presented a song at the beginning of the school year.
During the holidays, as Professor Flitwick's favorite student, of course, he received a letter from him inviting Li Xuan to join his choir.
Of course, Li Xuan refused, originally not interested in the choir, and secondly, he had to spend time rehearsing. It's rare to take a long vacation, so why find something for yourself to do?
Could it be that you don't think you have enough things in your hands?!
Not only Li Xuan, but also Penelope, and even after Penelope's refusal, Professor Flitwick persuaded him a second time.
Since Penelope was graduating this year, Professor Flitwick naturally wanted to leave her with more memories of Hogwarts, and she was the most beautiful flower in Ravenclaw before Li Xuan came.
Now that Li Xuan is here, it doesn't matter, Li Xuan can also be a green leaf that sets off the flowers!
Even Li Xuan heard Penelope say that Martha had also received an invitation from Professor Flitwick, and let Martha hold a wand and confront people without any problems.
But for her to stand on the steps and sing with a group of people working hard there, it would be better to kill her! Li Xuan said that he did not add oil and vinegar in the slightest, this is Martha's original words!
Listening to the chorus above, it is worthy of the energy that Professor Flitwick has invested this holiday, and the singing is indeed good.
It is matched with the purple thunder light flashing on the window behind him, and the huge toad in each hand of the first row of small wizards, which is a little weird, very wizard style.
"The new school year has started again! Welcome back to Hogwarts. I have something to tell you before you are stunned by a delicious dinner. "
After the choir finished singing and stepped down, Dumbledore walked up to the podium of the owl sculpture and spoke.
The playful words made many young wizards laugh, especially the first-year students who had just arrived at Hogwarts. They almost grew up listening to Dumbledore's story, but they did not expect that the rumored strongest white wizard of modern times, Dumbledore, was such a kind and humorous old man.
There is a feeling of chasing stars to see me, shaking hands cordially, saying hello, signing autographs, and hugging a dragon, and there is a feeling that dreams have become reality. Li Xuan is a little novel, and finally it is no longer our Professor McGonagall who knocks the cup with a spoon to calm everyone down.
"First of all, welcome to the new professor R· J. Lupin, he gladly agreed to fill our Defense Against the Dark Arts professorship, good luck, Professor! "
In the face of Dumbledore's introduction, Lupin stood up to thank him in the applause of everyone, but Li Xuan found that Snape, who was sitting next to Lupin, not only did not applaud, but even his face was gloomy, similar to the weather outside.
It's normal to think about it, when I was a child, I met one of the guys who bullied me in school, and when I grew up and worked, I became my own colleague, and I still sat next to myself, and no one will be happy!
Snape didn't directly take out his wand to kill Lupin, which was already very face-saving and polite!
Don't doubt whether Snape has this strength, they all say that Shibie should be impressed by three days, and Snape has been there for three days, twenty or thirty years.
Not to mention that James Potter was able to bully Snape firstly, because of the numerical advantage, and secondly, pure-blood families like James Potter and Sirius, who were no strangers to spells since childhood, and even educated in advance.
Just Muggle-born Snape was born with a long, far behind them, and it was normal to lag behind at first. And James Potter their talent is not bad, just look at the Marauder's Map!
It's just that Snape's talent is even more terrifying, not only completely catching up, but also coming later, and the talent in potions and spells is completely terrifying!
If it weren't for Lily Evans, Li Xuan would have guaranteed that Snape, who had joined the Death Eaters after graduation, would definitely have the idea of killing the James Potter Foursome.
Worried about the existence of Lily Evans, he didn't poison him, and he really created people!
And the underground wizards are also commenting on Lupin, after all, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors at Hogwarts have really been very pulling in the past two years, and they haven't learned much at all.
...
Now Lupin on the stage is a humble character and seems to be a normal wizard.
There's nothing like wearing a scarf on your head, the smell of garlic and that greasy smile at every turn, now Hogwarts students don't have much requirements for Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, just be a normal person!
That's the only point, the rest is not important, you don't need to be so powerful, you can go to class normally, it's not stammering hypnosis and acting on stage at every turn, this is already satisfying.
After two years of devastation, the students of Hogwarts really didn't have any hope for Defense Against the Dark Arts at all, and their young hearts had been wounded again and again.
But soon, some rebuttals came out, telling others that this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was not the previous parallel goods!
On the Hogwarts Express, Lupin's appearance of attacking the Dementors with his wand to rescue students was seen by many young wizards.
Just now they hadn't noticed Lupin sitting next to Snape, in the corner.
Dumbledore introduced this, and the little wizards noticed the familiar figure.
Hearing the little friend around him say this, the faint flame in the heart of the little wizard who had completely given up was rekindled, since he was able to kill the Dementor, it means that the skill is not bad!
Neville, who was sitting in Gryffindor House, was there talking to Harry excitedly, and it seemed that this time Lupin had also saved the three of them.
"Professor Kelt Bourne, who teaches Fantastic Beasts Conservation, decided to retire so that he could have more time to take care of himself and the Fantastic Beasts he loved."
"But I am very happy that it is no one else who will take his place, it is our Rubeus Hagrid!"
Li Xuan looked at Hagrid, who was completely different from the original, looking confident, and felt very satisfied and happy for him, and his butterfly still changed some people.
Even if he knew that Hagrid was very nervous in his heart, as long as it was not revealed for people to see, it was not a matter at all!
