At this moment, Nikko, who had almost no head, floated over and floated between Avon and Harry.
"Hello, have you had a good summer vacation? Speaking of it, this holiday really happened a lot!" He deliberately said in a very sad tone that his head was shaking around his neck, and the look looked obvious. Prepare, as if you are memorizing, "A lot of people have died, bad things happen every day, and the magic world is in panic..."
"Your news is quite well-informed, and everything is known." Ron said casually, and stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth. He swallowed hard and made a vague voice. "I dare say, you must have not left." Hogwarts."
"I didn't leave, but I can see it from the newspaper." Nico said with no anger, some dissatisfaction Ron interrupted him. "Every morning, the domestic elf Dobby will put the latest issue of Hogg. The Watts Magic News gave it to me. I told him by the way the information collected in the castle. I knew from the above what is happening in the magic world..."
In this way, the Hogwarts Magic newspaper collects and collects the intelligence of the ghosts.
undefinedEvery day, the elf phantoms of the house show up to the habitat of each ghost, collect various information, and then feed back to the newspaper headquarters, which is organized by a special editor. Dolby is responsible for the transmission of information in Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. .
In this way, there are also domestic elves hired by Fred and George, and they are now the second-born elf employer in the UK after Hogwarts, working for their family. The number of elves is increasing. Next, if you can convince the underground world that the house elves come out to work, the number of elves they hire will even surpass Hogwarts and become the largest domestic elf employer.
Hermione intends to gradually implement her s.p.e.w. concept in this way, which is her new idea.
It sounds more reliable than the previous propaganda and call for everyone to be kind to the house elves.
Although they still refuse to accept wages and holidays, the improvement of the treatment of domestic elves is an indisputable fact.
If this treatment can become the standard for hiring a home elf, it may change the current situation.
Hermione's idea is good, but Aiwen feels that the fundamental problem with domestic elves is that they are not servants hired by wizards, but slaves without money and freedom. The practice of being kind to house elves can't change anything even if it becomes a standard. .
Because that is the standard for "hiring" house elves, not the use of slaves.
"Don't be so ignorant of the ghosts. We have been dead for a long time, but we will try to accept new things." Nico added a tone and looked at Ron, who was struggling with food. "I read newspapers every day. Every section doesn't fall. I know from the above what is happening in the magic world, and what Ivan did in Egypt, I know."
"That's amazing," Ron said perfunctorily, and didn't look up at him.
"It's really amazing to be able to read the ghost of the newspaper." Elaine interjected.
"This is actually not difficult, isn't it?" Niko immediately turned his head and looked at Elaine, smiling. "But I am the only one in the ghost. The other ghosts have no patience. I think this is very Trouble, they all ask for information from me, you still remember..."
He told them that with the help of the newspaper, he is now the most informed of the ghosts.
Even Sir Bodmore came over to ask him for information.
This guy is the captain of the Headless Knights Club. He has always been very sorry for Nicole, because his head has not been completely cut down. He was invited to him and other headless knights on the day of Nikko's party. It was a nightmare that night. .
They made a mess of the party. Of course, most ghosts thought it was interesting.
Niko finally said that as a hobby, he thought that reading newspapers is more valuable than playing his head as a ball.
For his statement, Ai Wen expressed doubts, if possible, he probably wants to join the headless knight club.
Moreover, with Avon's understanding of the club, they can talk to Nico so much, and it is also doubtful.
"You seem to care about the situation in the magic world?"
"Yeah, the ghosts have been talking about what happened recently. Everyone wants to know the latest news, so they came to me." Niko said, "All kinds of rumors spread rapidly among us. I can't tell the difference between true and false."
"What are the rumors?"
"A lot, the most terrifying thing is that the mysterious man and his followers are arresting us everywhere, and many ghosts are missing." Nicole said, suddenly lowering the voice, "It is said that there is one of the most evil black magic, Need to use the human soul. Ghost is also a kind of soul, so they catch us everywhere, it sounds terrible, isn't it? I can't imagine what kind of magic."
Ai Wen blinked, but he knew what magic it was...
When you transform yourself into a **** of evil, you need a lot of souls as energy and essential materials. From the current information, the magic specific spelling process is very detailed, and the materials needed are beyond imagination. Different souls have different uses, and may involve the special soul of the ghost.
So, Voldemort they have begun to start the ghost?
Still, it's really just a rumor...
"Although I think the missing guys may just be hiding, but it is undeniable, this rumor makes everyone very scared, so many ghosts have come to Hogwarts." Nick said, returned to normal Voice, "After all, there is Dumbledore, it should be the safest place in the current magic world. You may not know that during this holiday, the school security measures have been strengthened by a hundred times, which is very reassuring."
At the same time as entering the school gate, Ai Wen felt this, and there were protective spells everywhere.
It was previously possible to take people out through door keys and specific fireplaces, and now there is no such possibility.
Of course, there are other loopholes, and strict protection is not omnipotent.
"Besides, everyone who inquires about the most is about the two of you, and it is also the main reason why I am really popular." Nico looked at Avon and Harry, the head with only a little skin in the wheel. The wrinkled collar swayed dangerously. It was somewhat proud to say, "I am almost regarded as the authority of Ivan Mason and Harry Potter. Everyone knows that our relationship is very good. However, I am going to the ghosts. Assured, I won't be bothering you both. Ivan Mason and Harry Potter know that you can trust me absolutely and be convinced of me. I tell them that I would rather not betray their trust... "
"That can't explain anything because you are already dead." Ron interjected again.
He just finished eating the cake and just heard the last sentence that Nicole said.
"It's coming again, you always hurt like a blunt axe." Nick almost grievously said.
He slammed into the air and quickly drifted to the end of the Gryffindor table, ignoring the retention of others.
"Ron, you shouldn't say that!"
undefined"Then what should I say? Originally, there is a problem with his words. How can the ghost die again?" said Ron. "I want to see, there are few things that Niko can say. They always do, ask around." The gossip..."
Just then, Dumbledore stood up behind the faculty table and ended the quarrel between Ron and Hermione.
Evan and Harry are very fortunate, don't need to be in the middle to listen to the two of them, the laughter echoing in the auditorium almost subsided.
"Good evening everyone!" Dumbledore smiled kindly and said, while stretching his arms, he seemed to embrace the entire auditorium.
The wide sleeves slide down and you can clearly see the complex mantra on his right hand and the small half of his arm.
They are densely distributed, extending from the Gunter family's ring to the upper arm. The color seems to be deeper than a month ago. From a distance, the mantra makes Dumbledore's hand show a strange dark green. It is like poisoning.
"Look, how is his hand?"
"When we saw him in the summer vacation, it was like this." Hermione whispered, using the voices that only a few of them heard, "he and Professor Slughorn said that this was caused by a magical failure. influences."
"Strange, I thought he had been cured," Harry said.
"Some magical damages can never be cured. This is common in ancient spells." Hermione said, her face looked uncomfortable and stared at Dumbledore's hand. "These magical spells, regardless of them. What is it, it seems to be getting worse, this is definitely not a good thing."
"Ivan, do you know what it is?" Elaine asked.
"I don't know." Ai Wen shook his head and said, "I have never seen such magic or curse."
Hermione is right, they seem to be getting worse, what does this mean?
The reversal of magical failure is aggravated? Still this month, what did Dumbledore use to increase the magic of the mantra?
It seems that it is not just him. Everyone seems to have some kind of situation that is not expected.
Many people noticed the abnormality of Dumbledore's right hand and whispered in the auditorium.
Dumbledore knew what everyone was talking about. He just smiled and shook the purple and gold sleeves to cover the hand.
"Don't worry about me, it's just a little accident." He said in an understatement, "Well, new students, welcome to school; and, old classmates, welcome back to school! Waiting for you is the magic education of the new school year... ..."
He spoke of the welcome words and matters needing attention, but few of them listened carefully. Everyone was whispering about the matter just now.
"Admin Felch told me to tell you that this year it is absolutely forbidden for students to carry any jokes purchased from Weasley Magic," Dumbledore continued. "In addition, students who want to participate in the Quidditch team , as usual, the name was reported to the Dean. We are still looking for a new Quidditch game commentator, and interested parties are also applying to the Dean."
"This year, we are very happy to welcome a new teacher, Professor Slughorn."
Dumbledore's voice just fell, and Slughorn stood up.
His bare head shone in the candlelight, and the big belly in his vest cast a large shadow on the table.
"Professor Slughorn is a former colleague of mine. He agreed to return to his old post as a potion teacher."
"What, potion class?"
"Potion class?"
"How could it be a potion class?"
Such doubts echoed throughout the auditorium, and everyone wondered if they had got it wrong.
Ai Wen didn't go to see Harry and the others, but he could guess the expressions of their present, and they were certainly surprised.
"At the same time, Professor Snape." Dumbledore continued, his voice raised overwhelming people's arguments. "He will be a teacher in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class."
"Do not!"
Just after Dumbledore had finished, Harry shouted.
His voice was too loud, and many of his heads turned to them.
But Harry didn't care, he just yelled at the faculty table in an angry way. He didn't understand. How did he end up giving Snape the faculty of the Dark Arts defense to Snape?
Not everyone knows for so many years, Dumbledore does not believe that he is qualified for the job?
"Small voice, Harry!" Hermione reminded. "Your reaction is too much."
"I just can't accept it, let Snape teach the defense of the Dark Arts, it should be Slughorn..."
"Dumbledore never said that Slughorn would teach the defense of the Dark Arts, that is our guess."
Yes, Slughorn is a professor of potions, and he will not teach the dangerous course of Defence Against the Dark Arts.
In particular, in the case of this class being cursed by Voldemort, the final result of the professor of the Defence Against the Dark Arts seems to be not very good, let alone the defense of the Dark Arts itself is a confrontation with the black wizards such as Voldemort. Class.
This door is important, but too inconsistent with the style of Slughorn.
Of course he wants to quit, to teach his old line, the potion class.
As a result, Snape got his wish.
Teacher gallery, Snape, Dumbledore sitting on the right side. Deng Buliduoti when he heard his name did not stand up, just lazily raised his hand, that he heard the cheers on the Slytherin table, goes face reveals a hint of elation lighted up .
"Or, it has little benefit." Harry hissed, "Snape less than a year will get out."
"What do you mean?" asked Ron.
"We all know that the job was cursed, no one can be more than a year, luck is like Lupin, Sirius, bad luck, Chilo and Little Batty Crouch. I have been rushing in, and I personally hope that another murder will happen..."
"Harry!" Hermione blamed in horror.
Not only they, but the people in the entire auditorium heard the news that Snape had finally got his wish.
This is a magical spell that is different from Dumbledore's arm, and it is also a matter of concern. Dumbledore didn't seem to realize how sensational the news he had just announced. He didn't say anything about the teacher's position, but waited for a few seconds to make sure everyone was completely quiet before continuing to speak...
