Batman's Owl Godfather

Chapter 78 Three New Teachers
What a strange professor.

This is Bruce's natural thought.

I don’t know what courses this gentleman teaches or what his special qualities are.

After a while, Hermione came back. Judging from the expression on her face, she probably didn't find Harry and the others.

When Hermione walked into the box and found an old wizard there, she was stunned for a moment.

But she soon realized that this was a professor, greeted him politely, and sat back in her seat.

For some reason, Hermione felt that the old wizard looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.

"It seems that Harry and Ron didn't get on the bus."

Hermione whispered to Bruce, "Percy said they came to the station together, but for some reason they disappeared later."

As she spoke, she began to imagine a picture in her mind.

Harry and Ron were fed up with the rules and regulations of the school and decided to join hands in running towards the free world and start their own great adventure.

"no!"

Hermione suddenly shouted, "How could they do this! The world outside is very dangerous. There are werewolves, vampires, hags..."

Bruce was confused.

"These are all monsters mentioned in Lockhart's books."

Katum said in his ear, "Hermione may be obsessed with chasing stars recently."

At this time, Professor Gale, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up -

"The Harry and Ron you're talking about are two little boys, one with black hair and glasses, and the other with silly red hair?"

"Yes!" Hermione said in surprise, "Professor, have you seen them?"

Gale pointed: "Aren't they outside?"

Bruce and Hermione looked out the window and saw a turquoise car flying in the air, speeding up to catch up with the Hogwarts train.

The car was rising and falling, and the two boys screaming in the car were Harry and Ron.

"Why are they there!"

Hermione was almost going crazy. Why were these two guys always able to do something so shocking and cruel?
Bruce was somewhat tempted.

I really want to drive a flying car!
Professor Gale was also looking at the car, but his gaze was focused on the lightning scar on Harry's forehead.

"really interesting."

He kicked his suitcase and whispered, "Why do I seem to feel another you in him?"

The suitcase kept shaking.

……

The train arrived at the station and the students began to get off one after another.

Gale said goodbye to Bruce and Hermione, they would see each other soon.

"First-year! First-year! Come to me!"

Hagrid was on the other side of the platform, swinging a lantern and beckoning the first years over to cross the lake in the traditional way.

Bruce, Hermione and the others followed other students to a rough muddy path outside.

There were at least a hundred carriages waiting for the remaining students, and in front of each carriage stood a skinny black horse-shaped creature.

Their heads are very similar to those of fire dragons, with white eyes and a pair of tough wings growing between their shoulder bones.

Bruce was a little surprised that the little wizards around him didn't react at all when they saw such a terrifying creature.

Bruce, Hermione and Neville got into a carriage that smelled faintly of mold and straw.

"How was your summer, Neville?"

Bruce only had a chance to greet Neville then, "I brought you a gift from America. I'll give it to you when we get to school."

"Oh! Bruce!"

Neville hugged Bruce excitedly. He was about to cry, "Thank you! I thought you wouldn't even remember!"

"It's okay, we are friends!"

Bruce imitated Katum's tone and said, "Friends should be sincere to each other!"

…The carriage drove up to a pair of imposing wrought-iron gates, flanked by stone pillars topped with winged wild boars.

They got out of the car and followed the crowd up the stone steps, through the majestic oak doors, and into the Hogwarts Great Hall.

Countless candles were suspended in the air, lighting up the entire hall magnificently, and the enchanted ceiling was shining with stars.

Katum looked at the scene and couldn't help but praise it.

"What a beautiful auditorium!"

Bruce came to the Hufflepuff table where Justin was already sitting.

"Good evening, Bruce!"

Justin seemed very happy. "I heard that you went to the United States during the summer vacation? How was it? There must be a lot of fun things in the United States, right?"

This……

Bruce couldn't help but think of the America he saw in the Twilight Wolf world.

"It's very fun." He stammered.

At this time, all the young wizards had taken their seats. Dumbledore tapped the goblet in front of him with a spoon, and the hall instantly became quiet.

"welcome!"

Dumbledore stood up, the candlelight gleaming on his beard. "Welcome back to Hogwarts! I have a few things to say to all of you.

“I am very happy to announce that we will have three new teachers joining us in the new school year!

"First, there is Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, who has kindly agreed to fill the vacant Defence Against the Dark Arts class."

The hall erupted in warm applause, and Lockhart stood up with his perfect smile and saluted everyone around him.

The applause became even louder, and several little witches even screamed.

"As for our second new teacher."

Dumbledore suppressed the applause with great difficulty and continued, "I regret to inform you that our Care of Magical Creatures teacher, Professor Kettleburn, has decided to retire a year early, and his vacancy will be filled by one of our outstanding alumni, Professor Newt Scamander!"

"Wow--"

There was another round of applause that was loud enough to blow the roof off. Mr. Newt's name was well-known to everyone in the wizarding world, not just women and children.

Professor Newt seemed a little uncomfortable with such a warm scene. He quickly stood up, bowed, and then sat down.

"The last one——"

Dumbledore drew out his tone and chose his words carefully.

"For reasons that everyone knows, the wizarding world is no longer as safe as it was before. For everyone's sake, we have decided to restart the Dueling Club and offer a wizard dueling course.

"And the teacher of the dueling class is Professor Gale Green!"

There was a few cold and sparse applause in the auditorium.

Compared with the treatment of the previous two teachers, there is a world of difference.

The students had no interest in this old man who appeared out of nowhere, had a strange appearance and a gloomy aura, and they were even a little afraid of him.

And Mr. Green doesn't seem to be very popular among the teachers.

Everyone stayed away from him, only Mr. Newt didn't dislike him and was willing to sit next to him.

Gail Green snorted coldly and didn't even bother to stand up and say hello.

Dumbledore did not force it and continued speaking.

His subsequent speech was just the same old stuff, like school rules and so on.

At the end of his speech, Dumbledore repeated those strange words -

"Idiot! Crying! Residue! Screw it! Thank you everyone!"

"What on earth does this mean?"

Bruce asked Katoom, "He always says it."

"I think it's probably some kind of code."

Katoom blew his feathers and said, "Hogwarts Castle is so big, Dumbledore might have left some secret treasure.

"And the key to unlocking the mystery of Dumbledore lies in those four words."
