A Hogwarts dissertation guide

No one knew the content of the conversation that day, but they only knew that Edward's face did not look good.

Later that day, the students finally arrived at the castle, and a group of first-year students crossed the Black Lake to see Hogwarts Castle for the first time.

The old students came to the castle in a carriage pulled by Yeqi.

When Dumbledore and Edward arrived at the auditorium, the auditorium was already full of students.The first grade wizards were waiting in the hall next door for the sorting ceremony.

In the auditorium, Dumbledore greeted the professors skillfully, while Edward sat directly in his seat. After a year of getting along with each other, the other professors also understood Edward's character, and no one said anything.

But a middle-aged man snorted, then walked to his seat and sat down.

He looked like an old lion.His tawny hair and thick eyebrows are mixed with wisps of gray. Behind his gold-rimmed glasses are a pair of sharp eyes. Although he is a bit lame, he walks with the grace of a meteor, making people immediately feel that he is a sharp person. , tough guy.

"Rufus, nice to meet you." Dumbledore opened his hand towards the man.

The man reluctantly hugged Dumbledore, then quickly let go.

"I thought you would make some progress," Rufus said stiffly.

Rufus Scrimgeour, originally the head of the Auror Office, unfortunately lost to Connery Fudge in the power struggle and was pushed to the margins of politics.It just so happened that Dumbledore was worried about the vacancy of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year, so Fudge kicked him to Hogwarts in the name of Minister of Magic.

He was obviously very reluctant, but it was obviously pointless.

Most professors didn't like this grumpy man. He was obviously not suitable for the atmosphere of Hogwarts, and he seemed extremely out of place just on the faculty bench.

There was a commotion in the distance.

"The students are here." Professor McGonagall hurriedly came from the hall. She leaned in front of Dumbledore and whispered softly, and then hurriedly left.

"Yes." Dumbledore waved his hand, and the professors took their seats, and he also sat on the throne in the center of the faculty table.

During this process, Scrimgeour kept holding his shoulders, looking very disdainful of everything.

This made Professor Flitwick's face darken.

Can't Hogwarts accommodate a great god like you, Scrimgeour?

But because of Dumbledore and the students, none of the staff said anything. Only Filch looked at Scrimgeour excitedly, rubbing his palms together, obviously having something to say to Scrimgeour. .

Professor McGonagall came back soon. She quickly came to Dumbledore and whispered something. The principal's face instantly turned ugly.He said a few words to Professor McGonagall, she nodded, then called Snape, and the two left the Great Hall together.

"What happened?" Edward had just finished eye contact with his disciple and confirmed that she had a very happy week. When he turned around, he saw Dumbledore's serious face.

"Something happened, Harry didn't come to the castle." Dumbledore said gloomily, "There must be something wrong."

He didn't care about Edward's reaction, walked quickly to Scrimgeour, and whispered a few words to him.

Scrimgeour's face became even more ugly. He glanced at Edward intentionally or unintentionally, then quickly stood up and walked out of the auditorium quickly.

On the other side, the little wizards who had just started school were very excited. They were chatting non-stop, and the whole auditorium was extremely lively.

The professors were quite open-minded and did not stand up to stop him. After Dumbledore returned to his seat, his expression turned into a smile again. He looked at all this and stroked his silver-white beard.

Edward looked at Dumbledore with interest, wondering what happened that made him lose his temper just now.

At the same time, Hermione also discovered something unusual: Harry was missing!

She didn't find Harry and Ron on the train, just assumed they were in a certain carriage, and she happened to not find them.

But when Hermione arrived at the castle, she didn't see Harry, and now she fully realized the seriousness of the problem.

Something must have happened to Harry and Ron and they missed the train!

The door of the auditorium was pushed open again, and Professor Snape walked in wrapped in a black robe, followed closely by Professor McGonagall, and behind her were two little carrot heads.

It's Harry and Ron!

They didn't know what mistake they made, which delayed their entry into the castle, but it seemed that Principal Dumbledore had no intention of pursuing it. He nodded lightly at Professor McGonagall.

She stood up knowingly and walked slowly towards the hall.

Dumbledore tapped the goblet with a golden spoon and said in a deep voice: "Quiet."

The auditorium fell silent instantly. The young wizards turned to look at Dumbledore, and the noisy voices in the auditorium disappeared.

"Now let's start the annual tradition, the sorting ceremony." Dumbledore said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the auditorium opened.Professor McGonagall led a long row of first-year students to the top of the auditorium.

The freshmen walked into the auditorium with trepidation. One of the little girls' red hair caught everyone's attention.

"Another Weasley boy... girl?" Edward seemed to have a headache. Ron caused him a lot of trouble last year - he had to keep an eye on Ron to prevent him from getting involved with him. The Slytherin students started fighting.

I didn’t expect that there would be a Weasley child this year!

Edward just hoped that the little girl in front of him would be less worried than her brother Ron, and at least not start another fight with the Slytherin students.

Professor McGonagall placed the famous Hogwarts Sorting Hat on the stool in front of the new students.

Every year, this old, patched, dirty hat sorts new students into the four houses of Hogwarts (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin).

Edward was holding a cup of hot cocoa and sipping it. In this cool weather, what could be more relaxing than a cup of hot cocoa?

As for Harry and Ron being late...Dumbledore didn't say anything, so who cares?

The Sorting Hat finished singing the song it had been preparing for a year.Soon, a very thin boy with gray hair was called to the front and put on the sorting hat.

Edward looked carefully at the team of little wizards to see if there were any hidden thorns inside.

But it was no use - they all looked a little nervous.

Edward had no choice but to continue tasting his hot cocoa, but he noticed a small sound coming from beside him.

Turning around, he saw that it was Dumbledore who had been tugging on his beard.
