New Professor at Hogwarts

"The sorting has begun." Xia Ran said, still staring at the sorting hat. Before the teachers and students could continue to talk too much, Professor McGonagall unfolded a large roll of parchment.

"Whoever's name I call will put the hat on his head and sit on the stool." Professor McGonagall said to the first-year students, "When the hat announces the house, go and sit at the corresponding table. "

"Stuart Ackley!"

A boy walked forward. It could be seen that he was shaking from head to toe. He picked up the sorting hat, put it on his head, and sat on the stool.

"Ravenclaw!" the Sorting Hat shouted without seeming to think.

Stuart Ackley took off his hat and hurried to a seat at the Ravenclaw table, where everyone at the table welcomed him with applause.

The sorting ceremony went quickly, and the number of first-year freshmen quickly dwindled, while warm applause sounded from time to time on the four long tables, welcoming another little wizard to their college.

There is no doubt that Hufflepuff has the most new students, and this has always been the norm. This is clear from the lyrics sung by the Sorting Hat.

…

Slytherin said: "The students we teach must have the purest blood."

Ravenclaw said: "The students we teach must be intellectually superior to others."

Gryffindor said: "The students we teach must be brave and courageous, regardless of their own safety."

Hufflepuff said: "I will teach many people and treat them all equally."

…

Gryffindor chooses brave and fearless people, Slytherin chooses people with pure blood and ambition, Ravenclaw chooses people with smart minds and outstanding intelligence, but Hufflepuff never chooses students based on any characteristics. As long as they are students, she will accept them, treat them equally, and teach them carefully.

"There is no distinction between education..." Xia Ran secretly thought. He himself graduated from Hufflepuff House. Of course, in his opinion, the one he respects the most among the four giants of Hogwarts is Helga Hufflepuff. .

The common room of Hufflepuff House is not far from the underground kitchen of the house elves. When Xia Ran was still studying at Hogwarts, she would often sneak into the kitchen in the middle of the night to find food.

Now that he is a professor, he doesn't need to be so sneaky.

"But Hufflepuff's golden cup..." Xia Ran frowned. It was a relic belonging to Hufflepuff. It must also contain ancient magic items with Force points, but it was made into a Horcrux by Voldemort. The original time and space appeared in Gringotts in Diagon Alley, in the vault of the Lestrange family.

Sirius's cousin Bellatrix Black married Rodolphus Lestrange and changed her name to Bellatrix Lestrange.

"Well, if I remember correctly, Bellatrix and Voldemort seem to have a daughter, her name is Delphire Riddle..." Xia Ran said secretly, looking over Rodolphus Lestrange's head. It’s a prairie!

Does he know that he was cheated by his so-called master?

Finally, the sorting ceremony ended, and with the shout that Kevin Whitby was sorted into Hufflepuff House, there was fierce applause on the Hufflepuff table.

Professor McGonagall packed up the Sorting Hat and the stool and took them away.

Xia Ran was not yet determined to "take action" on the Sorting Hat and absorb the Force points, so she simply looked away and kept out of sight.

Dumbledore stood up, looked at all the students with a smile, and opened his arms in a welcoming gesture.

"I only have two words to say to you." Dumbledore's loud voice echoed in the auditorium, "Eat!"

Every plate on the five tables was suddenly and magically filled with food.

Xia Ran put a lot of her favorite things on her plate.

"Professor Frémont, would you like some mashed potatoes and steak?" Hagrid said in a deep voice.

"Let's have some mashed potatoes." Xia Ran handed over the plate.

The heavy rain was still pounding heavily on the tall, dark windows. Another burst of thunder made the glass windows rattle. A lightning bolt flashed on the hazy ceiling, illuminating the golden plates. The remaining first course of food quickly disappeared, and in the blink of an eye the plate was filled with various desserts.

Xia Ran didn't like sweets very much, so she ate the food on the plate happily and ignored the dessert in front of her.

Professor Trelawney and Professor Sprout seemed to like it very much.

Finally, the desserts were mostly cleared away, and the last remaining crumbs disappeared from the plate, which was once again clean and shiny.

Xia Ran burped and sighed, the food at Hogwarts is better!

At this time, Dumbledore stood up again, and the buzzing voices in the hall suddenly stopped. Only the howling of the wind and the pounding of heavy rain could be heard outside.

"Okay, now we are all full and full." Dumbledore looked at everyone with a smile and said, "I must ask everyone to pay attention again. I have a few announcements to make."

"Mr. Filch, the administrator, would like me to tell you that this year, several more items are prohibited in the castle. They are the Screaming Ball, the Wolf Fang Flying Saucer and the Combo Boomerang. The entire list includes approximately four hundred and three Seventeen items can be seen in Mr. Filch’s office, and those who are interested can check them out.”

As he spoke, the corners of Dumbledore's mouth twitched a few times.

Filch's prohibited list is too outrageous!

But he continued: "As before, I want to remind everyone that students are not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest on the other side of the venue, and in Hogsmeade Village, no students below the third grade are allowed to visit!"

After a pause, he glanced at all the wizards in the room, and said with a solemn expression: "Excuse me, I have to continue to say a few words, before Voldemort..."

In an instant, countless people shivered, and the entire auditorium went cold.

"...Today when we return, our four colleges must unite and resolutely fight against the dark wizard camp! But that is a matter for adult wizards. As students, you should still focus on your studies, especially those in fourth grade and above!" Deng Bullido said.

Xia Ran glanced at it and found that most of the Gryffindor students were full of fighting spirit and seemed eager to fight against the dark wizards; the Slytherin students basically sneered. Many of them may have someone in their family who is a Death Eater and follows them. Voldemort, of course, would not take kindly to this.

Ravenclaw House has an indifferent attitude. What is a white wizard or a black wizard? Is it important to have knowledge?

The Hufflepuffs looked at Dumbledore eagerly, as if expecting him to finish his speech and go back to sleep.

"In addition, I would like to tell you with great regret that the College Cup Quidditch competition will not be held this year!" Dumbledore continued.

"What?"

"Are you kidding me, Principal?!"

Many students immediately came back to their senses from the strange and silent atmosphere just now, and shouted loudly, mostly Quidditch players from various colleges, as well as loyal Quidditch game spectators,

Harry, Fred, and George all stared at Dumbledore silently with their mouths wide open, as if they were too surprised to speak.
