Hogwarts White Knight

"Thick woolen socks..."

Until he walked back to the dormitory, Gawain was thinking about what the professor meant.

"Is it possible that what the professor always wanted to see was his family? He doesn't have a good relationship with his family? It's possible. Although he is the most famous white wizard in the world, he rarely sees anything about his family in books. description..."

After waking up the others and asking her to open the stone door with a displeased expression on her face, Gawain folded his cloak in the empty lounge before taking it upstairs and quietly stuffing it back into Harry's backpack.

The thing associated with wool socks is almost always related to family.

But Gawain himself also knew that the reason why he was still thinking about this problem stubbornly was because he wanted to find a way to divert his thoughts and not carefully recall the bizarre pictures he had seen in the mirror before.

"Meow"

Seemingly noticing Gawain's footsteps, Shen Yuan jumped down from the bed, walked to him lightly, and glanced up frivolously, as if laughing at him, a stupid guy who always thinks about things that are not real. .

But this actually made Gawain feel a little more relaxed.

"Indeed, what does that have to do with me? I am who I am. Instead of caring about them, I should worry about how I can finish that troublesome history of magic paper."

Gawain whispered to himself, and hugged Abyss along his two front paws.

There were too many things that happened at night, but whether it was the chilling changes in the Forbidden Forest or the phantom of the crown, they were not topics that he could easily talk about after "Today's weather is too bad."

Although he was born as an ordinary person and had not experienced the era of the "Mysterious Man", he could feel the fear that filled the air in London at that time from many records.

"But Professor Dumbledore will always find a way."

After persuading himself again, Gawain felt that he was completely sealed by the warm quilt, and even his thinking became slower.

However, before falling asleep, he decided that he must add more Defense Against the Dark Arts and Charms lessons to future "Holly" activities, and felt that he might really be remembered by Professor Binns. The first little wizard.

In a daze, the night passed.

The winter night was extremely long, and Gawain had not slept very soundly, so when he woke up again, the sky outside the window was still dim, and Neville, who was sleeping next to him, was mumbling inarticulately. Wen could barely make out that he was repeating "expelliarmus..."

"I don't know what he dreamed about..."

Gawain couldn't help but smile, and scratched the chin of Abyss, who was still sleeping, but he lazily patted it aside with his paws. He changed into his robe, but there was still some time before breakfast, and considering what he had seen last night, he wanted to go to the Owlery before that.

As he walked down the painful spiral staircase from Gryffindor Tower and crossed the viaduct, the cold wind lifted Gawain's spirits. He tightened his collar and looked far into the distance.

"Huh? That's Professor Dumbledore and... Filch?"

Gawain was a little surprised to find that at this time, there were two figures rushing towards the school gate, one tall and one short. He easily recognized the pointed silver wizard hat of Dumbledore, and the shorter man was staggering after Dumbledore in a somewhat embarrassed manner. He could only guess that it was Keeper of the castle.

"But what are they doing out of school at this time?"

Gawain, who was somewhat curious, stopped and leaned on the railing beside the bridge to observe their movements.

He saw them quickly reaching the door. Filch quickly walked up a few steps, opened the school door, and welcomed in several wizards who seemed to have been waiting there. They stepped forward one after another, and met Dumbledore. Handshakes, hugs.

"Like friends I haven't seen for a long time? But why do they all bring suitcases?"

From a long distance, Gawain could not see clearly. He only saw Dumbledore stretching out his right hand, tapping the boxes that the wizards were carrying, and then handed them over to Filch, who took them away. Return to the castle. As for him, he personally led the wizards towards the Forbidden Forest.

"What are they here for? They can't be professors for Professor Snape, right?"

The confused Gawain saw them disappearing around a corner before continuing to walk towards the Owlery. He stuffed the question deeply into his mind. He was already somewhat used to Professor Dumbledore's mysterious Gawain. Today, he still had History of Magic and Herbal Medicine classes to deal with.

However, to Gawain's expectation, he got the answer to his question in less than a day.

During the dinner, everyone noticed that there were five more seats on the long table where the teacher was! And the people sitting on those chairs were all completely unfamiliar faces, both men and women.

"Could it be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor that Dumbledore hired? For Merlin's sake, if that old bat continues talking, I don't know if I can survive until the end of the school year!"

Gawain heard Ron say bitterly to Harry, while Neville agreed with "Yeah" next to him.

Although Snape's accomplishments in Defense Against the Dark Arts were recognized by Gryffindor, this does not mean that the little lions will really like him because he is very powerful.

his class.

On the contrary, in fact, what they often complained about now was having to endure twice as many Snapes as before.

"Don't be stupid! The Defense Against the Dark Arts class doesn't need five professors at all! And I dare say I haven't seen them in newspapers or anything like that! If they are here to be professors, they should be somewhat famous, right?"

Hermione's eyebrows were raised and she said in disgust.

"For example, when Professor McGonagall was young..."

"Wait, I guess, I think I've met one of them..."

She wanted to continue, but Harry suddenly interrupted. He pointed to the wizard sitting next to Hagrid with some uncertainty and recalled carefully. Gawain looked over and saw that the man looked to be in his forties and was wearing neat robes.

"That's right! I met Hagrid when he first took me to the Leaky Cauldron!"

Harry suddenly patted Ron's shoulder hard and said loudly. But he was so excited that his voice attracted the attention of everyone in the auditorium.

For a moment, Harry felt everyone's eyes focused on him, like knives.

But luckily, Dumbledore came to his rescue.

"Ahem, looks like everyone has almost eaten?"

Dumbledore stood up and tapped the cup a few times with his silver spoon, but he didn't know whether it was due to the use of magic. Even during such a messy dinner, everyone could clearly hear the crisp sound.

"Next, I'd like to borrow a few minutes of all of you," he said softly.

"First of all, I think you have all discovered that starting from today, there will be new members joining the teaching team of Hogwarts. Maybe you will enjoy the process of guessing their identities, but I will save you a little effort. , is also my responsibility.”

He smiled and winked at Harry playfully.

"Let us welcome Effia Dogo." Following Dumbledore's words, the oldest wizard stood up, took off the moth-eaten felt hat he was wearing, and bowed to the students. Salute, revealing her snow-white dandelion-like hair, "Hestia Jones", she is a young witch with black hair and pink cheeks, waving happily.

Next came "Emmeline Vance", a dignified and elegant witch wearing a dark green shawl, "Dedalodie Song", the wizard Harry pointed at before, and "Larry". Muslupin".

"Although they are not well-known, I am willing to personally guarantee their achievements in magic. Although they will not be responsible for teaching the course, before the end of this semester, they will serve as 'advisory' teachers to assist me. And other professors complete some course work and help us improve the quality of teaching.”

Dumbledore announced after making sure everyone had their names memorized.

The auditorium suddenly fell into a noisy discussion.

"Advisor teacher! Merlin's safety pants! Hogwarts has never set up such a job!"

Hermione, who was sitting next to Gawain, was pulling her hair hard, anxiously wanting to go to the library to read information right away.

"Wonder what they will do?"

Gawain secretly guessed that he did not believe Dumbledore's words about improving the quality of the courses. After all, such a big change happened last night. To say that this matter has nothing to do with that...

Then he can get an for his history of magic paper!

Quietly stuffing his History of Magic homework with p written on it into the deepest part of his pocket, Gawain waited for what Dumbledore was going to announce next.

Soon, Dumbledore pressed his hands forward to signal everyone to quiet down.

"Next, I need to announce two decisions. First, because of an agreement involving Hogwarts and the centaurs, I must reiterate that in the next few months, any decision will be made unless I have permission signed by myself. No students will be allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest."

His expression was very serious, and he focused on two Weasley family members who were making "shh" sounds in a low voice.

Compared to the previous one, the Forbidden Forest students accepted this one easily. After all, they were never willing to go to a dangerous place like the Forbidden Forest.

Only Gawain felt his scalp tighten.

This ban may not be as simple as other students think. You know, the Forbidden Forest has always been forbidden to students in the past, but it has never been emphasized as seriously as Dumbledore did today, not even when Tom Riddle was probably lurking there.

Thinking back to the morning when these new "consultants" were led into the Forbidden Forest by Dumbledore before entering the castle...

"At that time, the Forbidden Forest will be sealed by me and other professors using magic. Any student who tries to violate this ban will face severe punishment. Believe me, it will be much worse than a screaming letter. "

Dumbledore deliberately waited a few seconds for everyone to react before continuing.

"As for this last matter, I think it is most appropriate for Professor Flitwick to make the announcement."

He clapped his hands easily, signaling for everyone to applaud.
