Harry Potter and Shafik

Chapter 93 Disgusting Speech and New Classmates

Dolores walked to the podium, and it could be seen that the professors in the seats expressed their surprise and unreasonable surprise at the woman who dared to interrupt the principal's speech.Professor Sprout's eyebrows were almost tucked into her flowing hair, and Professor McGonagall kept her mouth so tight.Dumbledore had never been interrupted by a new teacher before.Many students were secretly laughing: this woman obviously didn't understand the rules of Hogwarts.

"Thank you, Headmaster," said Professor Umbridge with a smirk, "for such a warm welcome."

Her voice was high-pitched and breathy, like a little girl's voice, and she cleared her throat with a few more coughs (cough, cough), and continued: "Well, I must say, It's great to be back at Hogwarts!" She grinned, showing her sharp teeth, "It's great to see these happy little faces looking up at me!"

"I am eager to get to know you all as soon as possible. I believe we will become very good...friends!" Hilbert could hear the word friend almost gritted his teeth.

Professor Umbridge cleared her throat again (cough, cough), but some of the breathiness in her voice was lost as she continued.Her voice was much more serious now, and her words were dry, as if they had been memorized by heart.

"The Ministry of Magic has always believed that educating young wizards is a very important matter. Some of the valuable talents you are born with may be fruitless if they are not cultivated and exercised under careful and meticulous guidance. Unique to the wizarding world Ancient arts must be passed on from generation to generation, or they will be lost. The treasure trove of magical knowledge accumulated by our ancestors must be preserved, supplemented and perfected by those who are fortunate enough to practice the noble profession of education."

At this point, Professor Umbridge stopped talking and bowed slightly to the other teachers, but none of them returned the bow to her.Professor McGonagall's black eyebrows were drawn so tightly together that she looked like a hawk. "The successive headmasters of Hogwarts have all innovated in the burden of running this historic school, and this is entirely due, because if there is no progress, it will stagnate and decay. At the same time, however, progress for the sake of progress This practice should never be encouraged. Our traditions have been tempered and often do not need clumsy revisions. To achieve a balance, between the old and the new, between permanence and change, between tradition and innovation Between—" Umbridge's real audience was the professors behind, so she didn't care at all when she saw the students fidgeting.

After talking for a few more minutes, she waited and sat down.Dumbledore started to clap, and the other teachers followed suit, most of them clapping once or twice before letting go.

"Thank you, thank you very much, Professor Umbridge, your speech was very enlightening." He bowed to her as he spoke, "Okay, as I said just now, the Quidditch selection will be -"

"What did she mean, and how did she go around it." Draco said in a low voice. "

"The Ministry of Magic is going to intervene in Hogwarts! Especially during the period when the mysterious man returns." Daphne said.

"Because of last year's Triwizard Cup, Durmstrang School will send a student to Hogwarts to study. At the same time, Hogwarts had the first friendly visit and exchange with a Chinese school during the holiday. China The side is also willing to send a student to Hogwarts for exchange and study. Now please applaud and welcome their arrival!" Dumbledore continued.

The door flung open.

A boy with the same black hair and yellow skin as Professor Lingxu and Qiu Zhang was walking in Hogwarts robes, and next to him was a boy with blond hair and blue eyes. They were about thirteen or fourteen years old.Walk side by side.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Adolf von Braun from Durmstrang, who is 13 years old this year. This classmate is named Nangong Xiongying, who is also 13 years old from the Nanhai School of China. The next thing is to hold for the two The sorting ceremony!"

The student from Durmstrang had just touched the Sorting Hat's head when the hat yelled Gryffindor!

"How is it possible? Durmstrang's students will be assigned to Gryffindor!"

"Gryffindor!"

That Nangong Eagle from China was assigned to Gryffindor!After two people shook hands friendlyly towards Harry Potter, they sat on the long table.

Dumbledore's speeches were never long, and after everyone continued to eat for a while, it was announced that the teachers and students of the school were disbanded.

"Freshman!" Daphne said majesticly, "This way, please."

A group of freshmen came shyly from the aisle between the Slytherin and Ravenclaw tables, trying to hide behind as much as possible.As the prefects, Hilbert and Daphne will take them to the Slytherin common room to inform them of the password and relevant discipline.

According to Slytherin's practice in previous years, the female prefect led the first-year freshmen to the Slytherin common room, and informed them of the password and related disciplines.

The male prefect is in charge of the chief competition among the first-year freshmen.

"This will put Dumbledore in big trouble." Daphne said, although she didn't understand the metaphor contained in Umbridge's speech.But the natural sensitivity of women still makes her feel that this new professor is not kind.

"Yes, Minister Fudge is going to intervene in the affairs of Hogwarts, and Dolores is an eyeliner, and then they will slowly take the headmaster's power over the school."

The Slytherin lounge is located at the innermost part of the basement corridor. The entrance is in a wet and empty stone wall. Daphne, the leader, said to the wall: "Bloodline!" The door slid open quickly, and she looked back at the new students behind her. They said, "Remember this, or you'll be sleeping in the hallway outside."

The common room was a long, low basement with walls and ceiling of rough stone, from which glowing green lamps hung on chains.A fire crackled and crackled under a fine mantelpiece.

Congratulations!I am Prefect Daphne Greengrass.It is my pleasure to welcome you to Slytherin House.The symbol of our house is a giant snake - the wisest of creatures, the colors of our house are emerald and silver, and the entrance to our common room is in a hidden place in the basement.As you can see, we can look directly at the bottom of Hogwarts Lake through the window.We can often spot a giant octopus loitering outside the window, and sometimes even more interesting creatures.We love that the place we live has a mystical underwater boat ride vibe.

Now, there are some facts about Slytherin you should know and conversely there are rumors about Slytherin you should forget.First, let me tell you some facts about the rumors.You've probably heard rumors about Slytherin - we all love to study the Dark Arts and that Slytherin only takes students from families with prestigious wizards or something.You should not believe the things that the academies that compete with us say.I don't deny that our college has produced some black mages, but all three other colleges also have black mages-it's just that they don't want to admit it.Yes, we have a tendency to recruit descendants of prestigious wizarding families, but these days, you can also find many Slytherins with at least one Muggle parent.

I will also tell you a fact that the other three houses are silent about: the great Merlin was also a student of Slytherin.Yes, Merlin himself, the most famous wizard in history!All his knowledge is from Slytherin house!Do you want to follow in Merlin's footsteps?Or would you rather follow the example of ex-Hufflepuff Eglantine Puffett inventing a self-cleaning rag?I think the answer is obvious.

Clarified some rumors about us.Time to tell you a little bit about us, the coolest and sharpest house in the school.Our purpose is to win, because we care about the honor and tradition of Slytherin.Our classmates also respect us very much.Yes, some respect and a touch of awe because of our reputation in the Dark Arts, but you know what?Sometimes it's fun, and it's famous in areas that no one dares to touch.You can hint to other students that you can read the books in the entire library [meaning including the restricted area], and see if others dare to carve and doodle on your pencil case.But we are not bad people.We love our house emblem, the Serpent, for being: cunning, powerful, and often misunderstood.

For example, we Slytherins look out for each other - don't Ravenclaws do the same.But unlike Ravenclaw, who has the most nerds, always comparing his own grades, we Slytherins are more like brothers and sisters.The corridors of Hogwarts are often full of little traps for the unwary, and you're lucky if you have a fellow Slytherin at your side to help you on your way.As far as we're concerned, once you're a member of the Snake Court - one of the elite.Because you know what Salazar Slytherin looks for in recruits.

Professor Snape strode in.He glanced at the stiff new students with empty eyes, and said slowly: "First of all, welcome to Slytherin, the best house in Hogwarts. You will spend an unforgettable time here." He raised his wand to Chest, "Before you go to bed, you have a Slytherin tradition. We Slytherins start from the first year, and each year we have a head student. Of course, this is private. This It is a very honorable position, and everyone else must obey the chief student of their grade unconditionally until you challenge and defeat him. Openly defeat the chief student of your grade, and you can replace him. Do you understand?"

Most of the Slytherins came from pure-blood families. Before coming to Hogwarts, many parents told them about the Chief Scramble and taught them a lot of basic magic.The half-bloods who can be assigned to Slytherin are definitely two-handed.

"Now, I announce that the match is about to start. I am Hilbert Shafik, Slytherin prefect! If you are afraid of injury or not confident in your own strength, stay by the side. Teams of two. Now I declare Game start!"

…………

The battle was intense.Many students were defeated as soon as they entered the field. One student released a snake, but he couldn't control him.

"Let me come, Snake language: Don't move~~~~" Hilbert said in a low, hoarse hiss.Then the right hand quickly released a spell: disappear without a trace!

"You're a Parseltongue!"

"The prefect is a Parseltongue!"

"Isn't Parseltongue only known by Harry Potter and You-Know-Who? Is he a descendant of You-Know-Who?"

"Okay! I'm a Parseltongue. But I'm not a descendant of You-Know-Who, my surname is Shafiq! I'm a direct descendant of the Peverell family! Inherited Parseltongue. 50% of my family will get this ability .Now, the first-year head student has won. Timo Rozier!"

"In the future, wizards who meet Muggle-borns are not allowed to use the word Mudblood. That is not what a pure-blooded noble wizard should do. Now the prefect Daphne will lead the girls to their dormitory. Gentlemen, please follow me, two I have a dormitory for myself. Your things have already been moved up. If you have any questions, please contact me and Prefect Daphne. My dormitory is in Room [-]. Prefect Daphne’s dormitory is in Room [-]. Please come with me now."
