It's just a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Chapter 232 Why You Can and I Can't!

The auditorium was noisy.

The freshmen are lining up in a long line, waiting for Professor McGonagall to bring back the sorting hat.

Other senior students sat at the long tables in their respective colleges, either chatting or greeting their acquaintances and younger siblings among the freshmen.

But at this time, someone has noticed that on the long table that only professors can sit on, there are two more people who should not belong there.

Ron pointed Harry and Hermione to the old man with the magic prosthetic eye sitting next to Sherlock.

"That's Mad-Eye Moody. He used to be an Auror in the Ministry of Magic. He retired not long ago. My dad told us about it. He has a very weird temper. He doesn't have many friends in the Ministry. Most people are a bit Afraid of him. But he is indeed a very powerful Auror, my father said that in the darkest years of the entire wizarding world, he was already the ace of the Aurors."

Harry looked at the one-eyed old man who was not tall but looked rather fierce. From the outside, he really wasn't an easy person to get along with.

But he seems to have a good relationship with Professor Forrest, and the two have been talking about something.

Just when Harry was about to look away from Moody, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a familiar figure with a bright smile on his face, standing behind Sherlock looking at him and Moody. Moody chatting.

"I don't know what this retired Auror is here to teach us this semester"

Just when Ron was still wondering, Harry suddenly interrupted him.

"Wait Ron! Look there!"

Both Hermione and Ron followed Harry's gaze and saw the person he wanted them to see at a glance.

They all opened their mouths and cried out.

"Sister Silk!"

After Sherlock recovered from the initial shock, he immediately figured out why Silk appeared here.

"You really gave me a surprise." He said helplessly.

Silk leaned against the back of the chair with a smile on his lips.

"Why didn't I see the joy on your face?"

Sherlock glared at her and asked.

"When did you go to Dumbledore to apply for a job?"

"Not long after buying the house, Dumbledore told me that there happened to be a vacancy in the castle."

"So you took the place of Victor, who was originally the professor of Arithmetic and Divination?"

"you are not happy?"

Silke sensed something was wrong from Sherlock's expression, and her voice became visibly cautious.

Sherlock sighed and patted Silk's head.

"I'm not unhappy, it's just that Hogwarts is really not such a safe place, especially this year, I'm very happy that you can become a professor here, but you should tell me in advance."

The corner of Silk's mouth obviously changed from upturned to downturned, but this time she didn't break her head away from Sherlock's grasp.

"I told you in advance that you won't let me come over?"

Sherlock thought for a moment.

"Maybe there will be this consideration. If Dumbledore really can't find anyone, I can also take a part-time job in arithmetic and divination."

"You know nothing about divination!"

"I can read directly from the textbook."

"You will teach bad students!"

"The same is true for normal divination classes, and the students are also learning."

"This is a misguided child!"

"It's not very important knowledge anyway, your safety is much more important than this."

"Then why you can come over, but I can't!"

"I can face these dangers, you can't and there is no need."

"I'll say it again, I'm not a child, I'm one year older than you! You don't need to take care of me like a child!"

Silk's voice became louder and louder, and it had already attracted the attention of other professors on the long table. Even Dumbledore, who was sitting in the middle, turned his head to look here.

Looking at Silk's stubborn face, Sherlock was stunned for a while, and finally shook his head and smiled.

"Well, maybe my thinking is indeed wrong, I apologize to you. But I still want to emphasize again, starting from this year Hogwarts will become a little different, you must pay attention to what should be paid attention to."

Silk didn't look at him again, she was obviously still angry in her heart, so she just said indifferently.

"I'll know it myself."

The professors around were not paying attention to the two of them deliberately, but all of them had meaningful smiles on their faces, and they were secretly observing from the corner of their eyes.

In the audience, some students also noticed Silk's appearance.

She didn't wear a hood, and she was wearing a dark green robe. Sitting among the professors who were not young, who could be called old wizards and old witches, she was particularly conspicuous.

When the students were all talking about this newcomer, blindfolded with a black ribbon, and the extremely beautiful young witch, Harry and the others also saw something was wrong.

"Sister Silk and Professor Forrest seem to have quarreled." Harry said worriedly.

He had a chat with Silke before the World Cup finals, and because he had a good relationship with Sherlock, Silke didn't show that cold attitude, which made Harry feel good about her.

Ron was full of question marks.

"Didn't they be fine when they first met? How can you say that they quarreled? It must be Sister Silk who made the professor angry!"

Hermione glared at him.

"It's obvious that Professor Forrest said something that made Sister Silke angry. Didn't you see that the professor seemed to apologize at the end?"

They just discussed for a while, and the sorting ceremony officially began. The sorting hat that Professor McGonagall put on the four-legged stool began to sing a different sorting song every year.

The freshmen put on their hats one by one and were assigned to different colleges. Then the dinner began, and Dumbledore also introduced the new professors this year to the students.

"Because Professor Victor of the Arithmetic and Divination class wants to try a new life, so this year the professorship of the Arithmetic and Divination class will be held by a beautiful lady—Miss Vera Silke, who used to be a mysterious woman from the German Ministry of Magic. The staff of the Affairs Department, I believe she can teach you more knowledge."

"At the same time, in order to cope with the holding of a large-scale event, we will suspend the Quidditch Academy Cup this semester, and we have invited Alastor Moody to serve as the castle guard. He is mainly responsible for the security of the castle and will also assist Filch strictly enforces the school rules, and I hope certain students will pay attention."

"Finally, I am very pleased to announce that the Triwizard Tournament, which has been suspended for a century, will be held again at Hogwarts after Halloween this year!"
