Chapter 557 Special School Opening Ceremony

Except for some students whose minds have been severely injured and have little immunity to dementors, the little wizards were happily discussing the monster that just floated over from outside the carriage.

Those students who had the dementors driven away by Anton before they had time to experience this magical atmosphere could not help feeling a little regretful.

This is literally a free haunted house experience.

Scary and exciting.

To be honest, since they went to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft and lived with a group of ghosts every day, each of them became very courageous.

Not too bad, just those ghosts appearing every day at dinner parties, if you are less courageous, you may starve to death after coming to study for a few months.

After the train arrived at the station, Anna had to row into the school with the first-year students, which was the rule of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

After that, she will undergo the sorting ceremony.

"Today is a very special day."

Dumbledore walked to the presiding stage, supported the wings of a golden phoenix on the presiding stage with both hands, and his half-moon-shaped eyes were full of gentle and kind eyes.

"Welcome to Hogwarts in the new school year."

"We have a lot of things to announce tonight, each of which is extremely important, and I hope everyone will listen carefully to what I, an old man, have to say."

The prefects of several colleges stood up one after another and looked around. After a while, the whole hall became quiet.

"Very well, look at these children."

Dumbledore smiled slightly, "I hope that the prefects, as well as the newly appointed Presidents of the Boys' and Girls' Students' Unions, will ensure that no student will conflict with the dementors."

Having said that, Percy stood upright beside the long table, as proud as a big rooster.

George and Fred pointed at Percy from afar and said something, snickering quietly.

Suddenly, Dumbledore looked over, and the two shrank back in fright.

"Especially some mischievous children. To avoid contact with dementors, they don't know any pleadings and excuses."

"Yes, I believe that after they searched the train today, you all know something about them. I hope you can cooperate with these dementors from Azkaban. They are here to perform official duties of the Ministry of Magic."

"Of course, we also have some more happy things."

"Because of his age, the editor-in-chief of Aibo decided to resign from the school newspaper. We are very happy to welcome a familiar figure—Gilderoy Lockhart."

Dumbledore pointed to a well-dressed male professor on the professor's seat, "I believe everyone is familiar with him. He will serve as the school's vice-principal and the editor-in-chief of the Hogwarts Weekly."

Lockhart quickly stood up, posing in a handsome pose, with a standard sunny smile on his face.

Surprisingly, the students seemed to like him a lot and applauded one after another.

This made the sensitive Lockhart almost cry with excitement.

He was terrible as a professor, he knew that, and a lot of people hated him. So these applause should all come from the time when he was the headmaster, oh, really, his eyes are a little red.

Lockhart blinked vigorously to prevent others from seeing the scene of his tears, smiled and waved his hands, and sat down quickly.

God, he had prepared a speech for a week for today, but at this moment, he suddenly didn't want to talk, he just wanted to sit quietly.

"The second job change is from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

Dumbledore pursed his lips, "Due to some personal reasons, Professor Lupine can only teach you for another half a year. In order not to affect the teaching tasks for the second half of the year, I have determined the candidate in advance, and that is Stanley. Professor Nepe!"

When Professor Snape stood up, only the Slytherin students applauded, while the other colleges reacted relatively coldly, with sparse applause.

Lao Si was not annoyed, and simply sat down neatly.

"The third job change comes from the Care of Fantastic Beasts."

"Well, I regret to inform you that Professor Kettleburn, our Care of Magical Creatures teacher, retired late last year in order to spend more time with his remaining little rascals. However, I am pleased to say, No one but Rubeus Hagrid has come to fill his place, and Hagrid has agreed to be a teacher as well as a gamekeeper."

Hagrid smiled naively at the students under the stage in the classroom, Professor McGonagall quickly patted him, and he reacted and stood up quickly.

"Hahaha..." some of the Slytherin children laughed.

"Hagrid!" The Gryffindor students applauded especially hard.

"So……"

Dumbledore looked up at the open space beside the long table, "It is estimated that our new students are impatient to wait, it seems that we have to start our sorting ceremony as soon as possible."

As he said that, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's very interesting that we need to hold a special sorting ceremony first."

"This year, we have an auditor, Argus Filch."

He gestured to Filch who was standing in front of the freshmen, and Filch immediately smiled.

"Who?" Draco looked back at Anton in disbelief, "I seem to have misheard?"

Anton shrugged, "That's him."

"!!!" Draco gasped, "I don't understand."

On the stage, Dumbledore continued, "We also welcomed a transfer student from Durmstrang, Anna Rozier."

"Who?" Draco looked back at Anton in disbelief, "I seem to have misheard?"

Anton shrugged, "That's her."

"!!!" Draco took a deep breath, his face was solemn, "Three...Three levels of wizards!"

"Who allowed you to give her such an ugly nickname?" Anton squinted and stared at Draco.

"Oh, it's not just me, look at everyone, who among the Slytherin students doesn't know that she is a third-level wizard!"

Anton was stunned, and looked up. Sure enough, many students looked a little scared.

Gore swallowed, "Before Durmstrang's classmates liked to tell about the three victories of the wizard Anna, and I even had nightmares!"

Crabbe's face was also wrinkled, twisted into the shape of an orange, "Me too, I dreamed that I was cut into pieces, and when I woke up, the pillowcase was wet from crying."

"..."

Anton couldn't help but have a strange expression.

"Don't be assigned to Slytherin!" Draco prayed softly, "This woman is terrible."

Snapped!

Anton put a hand on his shoulder, "It seems that you have a lot of opinions?"

"No!" Draco froze.

On the stage, Dumbledore continued, "The third special student is Dudley Dursley. He is Harry Potter's cousin. I hope everyone can be more tolerant of him."

Anyway, that's it, the three special students performed the sorting ceremony first.

Listen to Filch, Hufflepuff.

Transfer student Anna, Ravenclaw.

Dudley, an older first-year student...

"Gryffindor~"

"What?" Harry in the audience was stunned, and turned his head to look at his little friend blankly, "G... Gryffindor?"

Ron was stunned, and looked at Hermione, who also had a look of disbelief, "I think so."

"No~ don't~"

Harry murmured weakly.

"Hey, buddy, it's nothing." Ron quickly comforted him, "He's in the first grade, and you're in the third grade. Sometimes you don't meet him at all. If you don't like him, just don't go to him when the time comes. "

Harry sighed, "Ron, you don't know, Anthony said that Dudley has a talent for Quidditch..."

"..."

"..."

Ron looked at Hermione blankly, "So?"

Hermione pursed her lips and shook her head, "So, maybe Dudley will join the Gryffindor Quidditch team in the future and become Harry's teammate."

"Oh~ this is just too bad!"
