Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

"Ahem."

The coughing sound from behind interrupted the gentle relationship between the two of them, and Astoria jumped away from Louis' arms like a frightened little rabbit.

Her face was red, and although she had agreed to be with Lewis in her heart, she was always a little shy when someone broke her off.

"You two, please be careful with your appearance. This is a school after all."

Standing behind them was an elderly witch, wearing a pair of glasses and looking at the long-lost couple with a half-smile.

"Professor McGonagall, are you a cat? You can't even make a sound when you walk."

When Louis saw the person coming, his heart immediately relaxed. Minerva McGonagall, as a core member of the Order of the Phoenix, naturally knew Louis' current identity.

"You bastard, what are you talking about?"

Professor McGonagall shook her head, "Okay, you two, hurry in. Dumbledore has just finished his speech. Now is the time for free communication. We will introduce the new professor later."

Louis thanked Professor McGonagall for the reminder and took Astoria into the auditorium.

The girl's face was still red, but her heart was more filled with happiness and excitement. The depressed mood during the summer vacation had disappeared. After saying hello to Louis, she returned to Slytherin College. Sitting next to her was It was his sister Daphne.

According to Astoria's description, the eldest daughter of the Greengrass family went to France this summer and seemed to live with her uncle.

Osnet did not recruit everyone in the family into the Order of the Phoenix, at least for Daphne, he did not tell her much.

Louis crossed the table and came to the Hufflepuff House table. Since he came so late, there was almost no space left for him.

The Hufflepuff students were also full of curiosity about this new seventh-year transfer student, and they all planned to give up their seats for him to sit down.

In the end, Louis chose to sit next to an old acquaintance.

"Hello, Rolf Scamander, and welcome to Hogwarts."

Rolf seemed very hospitable, which was completely different from his grandfather Newt's character.

Louis smiled at him. Hufflepuff's enthusiasm was beyond his imagination. Not long after he sat down, several Hufflepuff students came over to shake hands with him.

The first person was Ernie McMillan, the sixth-grade prefect. He had already seen the strength and majesty of this new senior when he was in the prefect car. Now that he saw him appearing in the auditorium, he immediately came to express his goodwill. .

After they all left, Lewis breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was really not good at managing interpersonal relationships.

Rolf told him a lot about Hogwarts, including some rumors from previous years, some of which even Louis himself didn't know.

The ghost of Hufflepuff, the fat monk listened to them with an affable face. This guy was in sharp contrast to the ghosts of several other colleges. The Bloody Barrow of Slytherin looked as scary as ever, standing next to Malfoy. , Ms. Gray looked very sad at the Ravenclaw table, and Nick, who was almost headless, appeared next to Harry and the others, seeming to be chatting about something.

Rolf was still talking on the side, and Louis could hardly stand anymore. At this moment, Dumbledore finally stood up again.

"Okay, since everyone has been chatting for a while, please allow me to tell you something else."

He clapped his hands, and the banquet hall suddenly became quiet, and no one spoke anymore.

"I would like to emphasize again that entry into the forbidden forest next to the hunting ground is not allowed. I think the senior students should be aware of this. I hope the new first-year students will also pay attention to this."

It is still a reminder of some old routines, but this is also something that a principal must do.

"Senior, have you seen his hands, they seem a little strange?"

Rolf whispered to Louis. When Dumbledore was speaking, he did not deliberately hide the things in his hands. In fact, Rolf was not the only one to see it. Many students noticed something strange, and the auditorium was filled with whispers.

"I saw him like this during the summer vacation. I heard that there was some mysterious power in his body, but I still can't figure out what it is."

The red trace became more obvious, but Old Dengtou's expression and state did not seem to be affected in any way.

Of course Dumbledore knew what everyone was talking about. He stretched the sleeves of his robe forward to cover the hand.

"Don't worry about me, it's just a small accident." Dumbledore explained, "Okay, what did I just say? Oh, by the way, this year, our teacher's seat has undergone major changes."

"First, let's welcome Professor Horace Slughorn back to the school, who is more than happy to return to teaching Potions."

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, the old man stood up, but there was no particularly warm welcome because everyone was confused and shocked.

"What? Potions class? Why is it Potions class?"

This is what most people think, except for a few people who knew about Harry in advance.

"At the same time, I am pleased to announce that Professor Snape will be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Although Harry had already learned the result from members of the Order of the Phoenix, he still couldn't accept it when Dumbledore made it official.

"This is really rare. The Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers usually change every year."

Rolf said, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He had also heard about Professor Slughorn. Professors of his parents' generation, and as descendants of great magical zoologists, would naturally be influenced by the old man. favor.

"I heard that Defense Against the Dark Arts is a high-risk profession."

Louis complained, Rolf thought about it, and actually nodded in approval.

Defense Against the Dark Arts is obviously not suitable for Slughorn's character. He is so afraid of death that he would not take risks to teach such a thing. At least for Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions was clearly a more familiar and safer subject for him.

In terms of qualifications, Slughorn knew how to teach Potions better than Snape.

Although Snape is a master of potions and belongs to the first echelon in the preparation of potions, his teaching has some personal grudges, and he cannot treat everyone equally regardless of their differences.

Besides, he has been coveting the Defense Against the Dark Arts course for a long time, so why not be a favor and let him get his wish.

When the students in the auditorium heard the news, they discussed it more intensely than when they discovered the magic in Dumbledore's hands, especially the Slytherin students. They cheered loudly, seeming to celebrate that Snape finally got the position he wanted. .

Dumbledore paused for a while. He did not continue to announce the changes in other positions. After the students gradually digested the news, he continued to talk about the next content.
