Chapter 519 New Professor

That evening, there was naturally another celebration in the Hufflepuff common room.

On the table were piles of cookies and cakes, as well as jugs of pumpkin juice and butterbeer.

Not many people paid attention to these delicious snacks this time. Everyone gathered around a table and carefully looked at the three red stones placed on it.

"What the hell is this."

"I don't know." Kyle shook his head. "Bagman said there are clues to the second project hidden in it, but he didn't say how to use it. You need to explore it yourself."

"Could they be roasting them on the fire?" Mikel came up with an idea: "Burn the outer shell, and the clues will come out."

"No." Hannah Abbott immediately shook her head and said, "What if the real clues are burned out? It's too risky. I think it's better to use the Appearance Spell."

"I'll try." Cedric took out his wand and struck the stone hard.

"Reveal your true form!"

However, the stone did not change at all.

"It seems that the Appearance Spell doesn't work." He sighed.

"It doesn't matter, it's only the first day." Kangna said to Kyle, "You still have three months, you will definitely find clues."

Kyle smiled and said nothing.

In fact, Kyle didn't really care that much about whether he could know the clues about the second project in advance.

It’s best to know, and it’s okay not to know…they will tell you on game day anyway.

After Kyle put away the stones on the table, everyone remembered the cookies and cakes that they had neglected for a long time.

The atmosphere in the lounge quickly became lively as everyone began to celebrate Kyle's good results as the question of the second project was put to the back of his mind.

…

When Kyle finally returned to the dormitory with Ryan and Mikel, it was almost two or three in the morning. Fortunately, these people did not drink him butterbeer this time.

Mikel and Ryan seemed to have endless energy, and even though it was very late, they had no intention of sleeping.

Mikel found a wooden stick and fixed it on the door to serve as a broomstick. He and Ryan took turns to come forward and imitate the difficult grabbing action that Kyle used in the last level.

Kyle watched from his bed, laughing with Mikel as Ryan fell off the stick.

Needless to say, it’s quite interesting from this angle.

…

After the excitement, December has entered Hogwarts.

The weather is getting colder and colder, with strong winds and sleet almost every day. Not many people go to the once lively Black Lake anymore. Only Durmstrang's big boat is still parked in the center of the lake. With the strong wind, Bumping and rocking.

"It must be quite cold in there," Mikel said.

They had just finished their Care of Magical Creatures lesson and were on their way back to the castle, but most of them had red faces and staggered a little.

This is because Hagrid has been feeding the rune horses single malt whiskey every day recently, which also results in a strong smell of alcohol floating in the paddock all the time.

It was fine before, but now when the wind blows, the smell of alcohol wafts to the place where classes are held. The strong alcohol makes most students feel uncomfortable.

"I think there must be magic in that boat." Ryan rubbed his face and said, "Otherwise, it would be unbearable to stay in the lake in such a cold weather."

"That's probably it." Mikel said, "And I heard that Durmstrang is much colder than Hogwarts, and their school uniforms also include fur cloaks."

Being blown all the way by the moist cold wind by the black lake, when they returned to the castle, the dizzy feeling before had disappeared.

Kyle put the books back in the dormitory, and Cedric happened to come in at this time.

"Kyle, I just said I was looking for you."

"What's wrong?"

"That's right." Cedric said, "The President of the Boy Council just came to me and said that Dumbledore asked us to go to the auditorium for dinner today... I have already informed the other grades, so it's just you."

"You're all going to the auditorium for dinner?" Kyle asked doubtfully, "What happened?"

"I don't know either." Cedric shrugged, "Maybe the principal has something to announce."

"Okay." Kyle nodded.

When it was time to have dinner, Dumbledore came indeed. He looked very happy and kept talking to Professor Moody next to him.

"What do you think he is going to say?" Kangna asked curiously: "Will it be the second project?"

"Probably not." Kyle thought for a while and said, "If it is related to the Triwizard Tournament, all three principals should be here."

There were only two principals who came to the auditorium for dinner, Dumbledore and Maxim. As for Karkaroff...he hasn't been to the auditorium since the end of the first project.

Soon, dinner time was over.

After the food disappeared from his plate, Dumbledore stood up.

Everyone looked at him.

"You must be curious as to why I ask everyone to come to the auditorium for dinner."

Dumbledore looked around and said with a smile: "That's because I need to announce something, okay, come in."

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the side door of the auditorium.

A man was walking into the auditorium from there.

"oh!"

"Oh my god, he is..."

Suddenly there was a burst of exclamation in the auditorium, the long Gryffindor table, and Harry even stood up excitedly.

"Yes, I believe many of you have seen him in the newspapers." Dumbledore said with a smile: "But I still need to introduce you to...Sirius Black."

There was a burst of applause in the auditorium.

"Quiet, quiet, I think it's too early for you to cheer now..." Dumbledore stretched out his hand, "I am honored to announce to you that from today on, Sirius Black will become our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor!"

After a brief silence, there was thunderous applause and enthusiastic cheers.

"Professor, what about Professor Moody..." someone asked loudly.

Although Sirius Black was good, Professor Moody was not bad either and many people liked his classes.

"On this point, please rest assured that Professor Moody will continue to stay here." Dumbledore explained: "But to be honest, he has complained to me many times, accusing me of not allowing a person to retire. The old man is in charge of the courses for seven grades.

So here comes Professor Black, who readily agrees to lighten Professor Moody's burden and take over the Defense Against the Dark Arts class for grades one to four. "

Another round of applause.

"Oh, why!" Mikel said angrily: "Why can't fifth graders take his class?"

"Professor Moody isn't bad either," Cedric said.

"I know." Mikel shook his head, "I mean, that's Sirius Black, this year's legend. Aren't you curious?"

"Hmm...well, I am indeed curious too." Cedric said, "But there is no other way. Who asked him to only be responsible for the lower grade courses."

"I'm so envious..."

While they were talking, Kyle looked to the left side of the classroom seat, where Snape was.

Snape had no intention of applauding. He just held a fork and stared at Sirius who was waving to everyone.

The fork was even bent out of shape because of too much force.

His expression was extremely ugly, as if Professor Dumbledore had just said that he must drink some of the potion made by Mikel.
