Chapter 925: New Semester, New Beginning
Becoming the most important school director of Hogwarts means that Vincent not only enjoys privileges within the castle, but also has the power to appoint and dismiss school staff.
After a brief moment of surprise, the twins immediately cheered loudly: "Great! Snape can finally get out of Hogwarts!"
"Long live Gryffindor!"
"Long live Director Wayne!"
They shouted several times, and Vincent walked into the hallway, feeling both amused and helpless.
Based on past experience, the news that he has become the highest-ranking school director should spread throughout the castle tonight.
Tomorrow's magazines and newspapers will probably report this incident crazily.
It looks like he can no longer keep a low profile.
Across the foyer is the school auditorium.
Students from grades two to seven sat around four long tables, with the staff table at the top.
The seat of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was empty. Dumbledore, who was sitting in the middle, raised his glass to Vincent who had just entered.
He blinked his eyes meaningfully, apparently he already knew about the matter of the school director.
Vincent raised his eyebrows and gave a meaningful look in return.
He didn't know whether Lao Bi Deng did it on purpose, but he could now fire any employee in the school at any time.
He is so strong that bricks can fly. No matter how you plan against him now, it will be useless.
I was in a good mood, and even Snape's dead face looked much better to me.
After all the students arrived, McGonagall stood up and led the first-year students in, and placed the Sorting Hat on the most conspicuous stool.
“That happened more than a thousand years ago.
I have just been woven into shape,
There are four famous wizards,
Their names are still passed down to this day..."
The Sorting Hat's tune this year is particularly cheerful, making people unconsciously relax.
The song ended, and Mag unfolded a large roll of parchment and faced the freshmen.
"When I call someone's name, he or she will put the hat on his or her head, sit on the stool and wait for the sorting."
"Stuart Ackerley!"
After a brief thought, the Sorting Hat opened its mouth and said, "Ravenclaw!"
"Malcolm Bardock!"
"Slytherin!"
The twins hissed defiantly at the Slytherin table.
The two inflated people were immediately glared at by Mag, and they immediately became completely quiet like two deflated balls.
It wasn't until Colin's brother was sorted into Gryffindor that the twins took the lead in cheering loudly.
"Yeah! Gryffindor!"
"Welcome, Dennis, you're going to love our college!"
Mag glanced over in time.
The auditorium returned to silence and the sorting ceremony continued.
"Kevin Whitby!"
"Hufflepuff!"
Time passed quickly and the last freshman completed the sorting.
McGonagall took away the Sorting Hat and stool, and Dumbledore stood up from the staff table.
He looked at the students with a smile and said, "I only have two words to say to you all: Eat!"
The empty plates on the long table magically filled with food.
Nearly Headless Nick floated up from under the Gryffindor table with an unhappy look on his face.
Ron was startled and spat out the mashed potatoes he had just put into his mouth.
Fortunately, there was enough food in front of him to block all the mashed potatoes.
"Nick!"
Nick, who was almost headless, sighed, "You know what? Tonight's party was almost ruined."
Ron stuffed another spoonful of mashed potatoes into his mouth and slurred, "The party's ruined? Is it because of Peeves?"
Nick nodded, and his head, which was only connected by a layer of skin, accidentally fell off.
"Everyone has been hit by its water balls before entering the castle, right? You all know its character, it has no manners at all, and it throws food everywhere when it sees it.
We held a ghost meeting, and the Fat Friar advocated giving Peeves another chance, but the Bloody Baron strongly disagreed, and I think his approach was very wise. "
Compared to Peeves, Fred and George are both good kids.
It had become so powerful in the castle that even the ghosts could not tolerate it. However, every time it was driven out of the castle, it would come back with worse ideas within a few days.
The eviction in 1876 even resulted in a three-day standoff, and the then-president, Eupraxia Moore, had no choice but to sign a privilege contract with it.
These included allowing Peeves to swim once a week in the boys' toilet on the first floor, first dibs on stale bread in the kitchen, and a new hat made by Madame Elaborate in Paris.
Today it ran to the kitchen early to make trouble, so the house-elves had to run to the ghosts for help.
The result, of course, was that Peeves was kicked out of the kitchen, and then he retaliated by throwing balloons filled with water at the students.
Nick looked sad and sighed as he crawled back under the table.
Ron swallowed the mashed potatoes in his mouth, picked up a large chicken drumstick and continued eating.
To ordinary students, no matter how bad Peeves is, he would not dare to make trouble in class.
Besides, Gryffindor has the twins, so pranks and the like are commonplace.
But for Vincent, who has just taken office as the school director, although Peeves' presence brings a lot of fun to the school, it is always a potential threat.
Strict discipline is necessary, and restricting the scope of activities is also necessary.
After finishing the last bite of dessert, Vincent had roughly figured out the plan.
Dumbledore stood up again at this point, "Well, now that we are all fed and watered, I must once again request your attention as I make a few announcements."
He glanced at the twins at the Gryffindor table. "Mr. Filch, the caretaker, wants me to tell you that this year, a few more items have been added to the list of prohibited items in the castle. They are Screaming Yo-Yos, Frisbees with Teeth, and Combo Boomerangs...
The entire list consists of approximately 437 items and can be seen in Mr. Filch's office. Anyone interested may check it out."
It's the beginning of a new semester, and Filch is once again competing with the twins in terms of how fast they can update the list of prohibited items and research new prank props.
Dumbledore seemed to have a premonition of something, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
He then continued, "As before, I would like to remind everyone that students are not allowed to enter the forbidden forest over on the grounds, and that students below the third year are not allowed to visit the village of Hogsmeade."
As for school rules...it's not a violation if you're not caught.
Dumbledore glanced at Vincent and paused, "I am also very sorry to inform you that the school will not hold the Quidditch House Cup this year."
"What!?" The school team members at the four long tables opened their mouths in surprise and silently glared at Dumbledore at the staff table.
Vincent also pretended to be angry.
Dumbledore seemed pleased with his response, “Because a large event will begin in October and last throughout the school year, occupying a lot of the teachers’ time and attention.
But I believe that you will all have great fun, and I am very pleased to announce to you that Hogwarts will host the Triwizard Tournament this year!"
"What!?" All the students were surprised.
Vincent pretended to be confused, which made Dumbledore's mouth rise smugly.
