Chapter 288 Hufflepuff: I heard that some people like to buy low and sell high?

Hufflepuff, who was sitting on the staff bench, looked at Les, who was sitting at the long table of Slytherin House. She saw some different emotions in those eyes.

Helga thought to herself: I hope these dementors will know each other and save her and Salazar trouble.

And judging from Dumbledore's tone, he seemed to be quite dissatisfied with the dementors stationed outside the school? This made her feel a little better.

After admonishing the students, Dumbledore began to introduce the school's personnel changes this year.

"I'm sorry to tell you that Keltburn from the Care of Magical Creatures class has retired, and his replacement is none other than our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Remus Lupin!"

After Dumbledore finished his introduction, Lupine stood up and waved to the little wizards in the audience. After being raised at Hogwarts for a year, he looked much better and his robes were replaced by decent new robes. Lupine returns to school with a new lease of life.

There was a burst of sighs and applause in the auditorium. In the past year, students have been conquered by Lupine, a reliable teacher. But fortunately, he didn't leave his job, he just transferred to a position that he was very suitable for.

There are also some students who have smiles with unknown meaning on their lips: the value of that "curse" is still increasing!

The professors on the faculty also had different reactions. Snape was very dissatisfied with Lupine's renewal: when he thought about having to work with Remus Lupine for the rest of his life, he had the urge to resign and run away. .

The remaining professors did not have much emotional fluctuations, except Helga. At this moment, she was looking at Lupine with curious eyes. She knew that the teacher was a werewolf who was cured by the humanoid restoration spell invented by her and Rowena. She was watching Lupin now like a doctor watching a patient.

"Our gamekeeper, Rubeus Hagrid, will also serve as the teaching assistant for Care of Magical Creatures!" Dumbledore's next words set off the Gryffindor House table.

The little wizards of Gryffindor House applauded enthusiastically to celebrate Hagrid. Hagrid himself was flushed, with a heartfelt smile hidden under his messy black beard.

Helga glanced at Hagrid and raised her eyebrows: Such an obvious giant half-blood—she glanced at Flitwick at the same time and muttered to herself: There is also a goblin half-blood—all can go to Hogwarts. , and finally became a teacher. Hogwarts is more open and tolerant than it was a thousand years ago.

I just don’t know what Salazar is thinking?

Les had no idea. What he valued was whether the person was "reliable." Hagrid and Flitwick were undoubtedly reliable, so he would naturally welcome them to join Hogwarts.

After the applause subsided, Dumbledore introduced the highlight of the day - the candidate for Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. In fact, most students knew that the strange witch must be the professor, but everyone just wanted to hear Dumbledore's introduction to her.

"Finally, the person who fills the gap in the Defense Against the Dark Arts course is Professor Smith-White. She is a very special wizard-" Dumbledore turned his attention to Helga and asked her if she would agree with him transferring her The truth is revealed.

Hufflepuff had no objection, because this "old story" was a forgery.

"She's a wizard from hundreds of years ago."

boom!

The auditorium suddenly exploded.

Before these words, Hufflepuff, who looked ordinary and looked like an old nun in the countryside, did not receive much attention. But once she carries this setting from hundreds of years ago, she can immediately attract the students' attention.

Everyone raised their heads and carefully observed Hufflepuff at the teacher's table, trying to get some clues from her face.

What era is she from? Why can she live for hundreds of years? How old is she now?

Question after question popped up in the minds of the little wizards, but no one jumped out to ask yet, so the auditorium fell silent for a while.

Finally, Fred from Gryffindor House suddenly stood up and asked loudly: "Professor White, how did you achieve immortality?"

Hufflepuff smiled, stood up and told Fred that she didn't use any magic, she was just trapped in a special ruins.

Fred was even more curious now, but it was a pity that Helga did not go further on this topic and instead turned to talk to all the students in the auditorium.

"It's raining really hard outside, isn't it?"

Although it is a bit unclear, weather is really a universal topic in the UK. Hufflepuff's simple words resonated with the students, and they all complained about the bad weather.

"In this weather, everyone should drink something hot to warm themselves up." Hufflepuff looked at the students in the audience with a smile, and then took out his wand.

With a wave of her wand, everyone, including the professors, had a small copper cup in front of them. Steaming mulled wine poured out from the bottom of the cup, filling it up.

After doing all this, she turned her wand again, and decorations corresponding to the college appeared on the handles of the copper cups.

The students looked at what was happening in front of them, and they were all shocked by Professor White's level of magic.

"Cheers!" Hufflepuff raised his glass and greeted all the teachers and students.

"Cheers!" The students who were aroused raised their glasses and drank the mulled wine in one gulp.

As soon as the hot liquid fell down, the coldness from the cold rain was forced out of everyone's bodies, and beads of sweat appeared on everyone's heads.

While gulping down the mulled wine, Les complained about Hufflepuff's drinking behavior in groups - who was just complaining about the bar in Hogsmeade village that made all the students drunk?

"The mulled wine is good, but don't be greedy." After everyone put down their glasses, Hufflepuff waved his wand again, and everyone's glasses were filled with water.

"What kind of drinks do you like to drink?" Hufflepuff asked everyone another question.

"Butterbeer!"

"Pumpkin juice!"

"Cola!"

There were a lot of responses from the audience.

Hufflepuff ignored the weird and unserious requests and the drinks that she had never heard of, and chose pumpkin juice, a drink that was straightforward and would not cause disgust.

She raised her wand and pointed it at everyone in the auditorium, and the water in the students' cups turned into yellow-orange pumpkin juice.

student:? !

After they took a sip and discovered that it was really pumpkin juice, the students in the auditorium became even more excited: the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor impressed them without having to attend class.

Only Malfoy looked extremely grim. He looked at the copper wine glass with a snake-shaped relief in front of him and remained silent.

Helga looked at the expressions of the students, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: After the news of tonight's actions spread, she didn't believe that the profiteer could sell those three wine glasses!
