Chapter 442: End of the Dinner and Professor McGonagall's Invitation

Dumbledore paused, looked at the little wizards whispering, and finally continued to explain: "Of course, they are stationed outside the school and at every entrance and exit. Therefore, safety is guaranteed. However, I must make it clear that from now on, no one is allowed to leave the school without permission. Remember, no tricks, gimmicks or disguises can fool Dementors, even the Invisibility Cloak." At this point, he also glanced at Harry and Ron obscurely.

"Dementors are... oh... more rigid..." Dumbledore still had anger in his eyes, but he had to endure it and explain: "They don't understand so-called excuses and begging for mercy. Because I remind you, don't give them a reason to hurt you. I hope that the prefects and our newly elected male and female student union presidents can ensure that every student will not conflict with Dementors."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a creaking sound of a chair moving back from the Gryffindor table. Percy stood up proudly, puffed out his chest again, and looked towards the Ravenclaw table as if to show his protest. But when he saw that his friends, mainly Penelope, were still whispering in a low voice, as if they didn't see him, he immediately felt angry. But what could he do? He could only sit down with an unpleasant look on his face...

"Well, the next important thing is," Dumbledore continued to explain, "I am very pleased to welcome two new teachers to join our teaching camp... First, Professor Lupin, who will fill the vacancy of our Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

As soon as the words fell, the hall fell silent. Fortunately, Yang Tian and his friends who had seen Lupin save people were the first to applaud... Suddenly, warm applause broke out, especially at the Ravenclaw table, where the applause was neat and long-lasting.

Professor Lupin, who had seen everything, was also shocked by Yang Tian's influence. But now was not the time to think about these issues, so he quickly stood up and greeted the little wizards.

"As for our second teacher," Dumbledore waited for the applause to die down before continuing, "I regret to inform you that our Care of Magical Creatures professor, Silvanus Kettleburn, retired at the end of last term. He was so cruel that he could enjoy his wonderful leisure time... However, I am happy to announce that the person who will be filling his position is none other than Rubeus Hagrid, who has agreed to accept this teaching position in addition to his duties as gamekeeper."

Yang Tian, ​​Penelope, Hermione, Zhang Qiu, and other friends looked at each other in amazement, but almost instantly, they applauded enthusiastically. They were good friends of Hagrid, so they naturally knew the big guy's passion for magical creatures. Of course, Yang Tian, ​​who was familiar with the original work, naturally pretended to react; there was nothing he could do about it, because he didn't want to tell anyone about the plot of the original work, as this was his secret weapon.

Hagrid also stood up like Lupin and waved to everyone as a greeting. At this time, the big man was like a child, blushing with shyness, and his big smile was hidden behind his messy black beard...

"Okay, now let's talk about the third thing." Dumbledore spoke again, his tone becoming serious. He turned his head and gestured to the side and back, and Lucius Malfoy, dressed in a solemn wizard's uniform, walked onto the stage calmly.

"Dear little wizards, I am Lucius Malfoy from the school board. Today is a day full of joy, but also a sad day." As soon as Lucius came on stage, he began his passionate speech: "On this day two years ago, there was an innocent little wizard who should have stepped into the gate of Hogwarts and started his magical journey like everyone else. However, many years ago, due to the persecution of a mysterious organization, he was forced to become a Squib. Although he was later treated and his magic power was restored, he was still unable to enter school smoothly last year because he missed the regular enrollment age. In this matter, our school board has an unshirkable responsibility..."

Then Lucius kindly pulled Colliver to his side, told him about his misfortune, made corresponding compensation, and promised to arrange tutoring for the little guy and do his best to help him catch up on the lessons he had missed. At this moment, all the little wizards gave warm applause...

After that, Dumbledore emphasized the school rules and regulations again and finally announced the end of the dinner. The young wizards, led by the heads of various levels, walked towards the common room. Along the way, everyone excitedly discussed everything that happened tonight.

At this time, Professor McGonagall stopped the old students of Ravenclaw and said, "Yang Tian, ​​Hermione, you two come with me. I need to discuss some things about the curriculum with you." Yang Tian and Hermione looked at each other and hurriedly followed. Together with Professor McGonagall, they walked through the entrance hall, up the marble staircase, and walked along a corridor...

It was still the familiar office. As soon as the two entered, Professor McGonagall motioned for them to sit down, and the professor herself sat behind the desk.

"This semester, you two little guys have signed up for all the courses, and many of the courses have overlapping class times." Professor McGonagall smiled and said softly, "How do you plan to solve this problem?"

Hearing this, Yang Tian's mouth curled up slightly, and he responded calmly: "This shouldn't be a big problem, right? With my ability and hard work, I can thoroughly master the knowledge of all courses. As for the overlap of courses... I think the professor called us here for this matter, right?"

Professor McGonagall rubbed her forehead helplessly. Her favorite student was too smart, and persuading him was never an easy task. Well, there is another choice, isn't it? She turned her head and locked her eyes on Hermione: "What about you? "What do you say?"

Hermione straightened up and answered without hesitation: "Although it is a little difficult, I still want to give it a try! I also believe that I can stick to it."

Professor McGonagall sighed softly, but still explained gently: "Well... Although I really want to persuade you, I also know that you won't listen. However, I still want to say that if you feel that you can't bear it anymore, then give up one or two courses decisively. After all, being in a tense state of study for a long time will not be able to bear it mentally and physically."
