Chapter 157: Accountability, Dinner

The train slowly pulled into the platform, and Lupin led a group of people off the train.

Draco heard in the car that Harry had fainted, and prepared to bring Crabbe and Goyle to humiliate Harry.

Unexpectedly, their leader was a professor. Draco said "huh" and left with his two younger brothers.

The group crossed the path and tried to board the Thestral's carriage, but a silver phoenix stopped Aiden.

Aiden's beautiful heterochromatic eyes turned into dead fish eyes, and he turned to the others and said,

"Get in the car, I have some things to take care of."

A few people nodded and left in the car.

Aiden dived into the Patronus and was led by the Phoenix to fly towards the castle.

Inside the castle, a classroom was temporarily cleared out, and Dumbledore stood inside, with two unfamiliar men beside him.

Seeing butterflies gathering in the classroom, Dumbledore spoke up,

"Aiden, you're here."

"So, what's the matter, professor? Our dean is going to organize a chorus soon." Aiden's figure appeared from the center of the butterfly group.

"These two are the Ministry of Magic's strikers, responsible for coordinating the new 'guards' of Hogwarts, the Dementors," Dumbledore introduced.

"Well, what next."

Aiden heard the resentment in Dumbledore's tone and deliberately raised his nostrils, looking arrogant.

"Well, Mr. Prewett, do you realize how much trouble your actions have caused the Ministry of Magic?"

The leading attacker came up and put the accusation on Aiden first.

"Oh, I don't know your name yet."

Aiden made himself a sofa, sat on it and crossed his legs. He produced a thin stick in his hand and fiddled with his nails.

"Richards Bennett, please be serious, we are discussing the damage you have caused to the employees of the Ministry of Magic."

Richards accused Aiden indignantly, while Master Aiden looked indifferent.

"Well, so, are you sure you want to use that garbage as your employees? Think about what kind of people are in the car."

Aiden stood up, and his pair of heterochromatic dragon eyes pierced through Richards' heart. He realized that he was just another foolish person who was greedy for quick success and was aggressive.

"Use your brain that was sucked by the troll. What if the savior Harry Potter died, or the future of the wizarding world was damaged?"

Dumbledore watched the show from the side and even took out some candy and started stuffing it into his mouth.

"By then, you will be the person directly responsible. Do you think a political creature like Fudge will mourn for you?"

Aiden showed a strange smile, like a mandala dancing in the wind.

Richards was intimidated by Aiden's momentum. He fell to the ground and pointed at Aiden, "You...you."

"Okay, professor, there's no need to waste your time on this kind of person. If you still have ideas, I don't mind spending the whole night with you looking through the Magic Code to see if there's any article that states that Dementors are part of our wizarding community."

Aiden's words were quite hurtful. An extremely xenophobic wizard would never consider dark creatures as his compatriots.

If Richards' remarks were used by someone with ulterior motives, the Ministry of Magic would probably be subjected to a crazy attack from conservatives.

Of course, at this moment, a dragon who was holding back evil intentions secretly brushed his glasses, and the recording ended.

"Well, Aiden, you go to the dinner first. I will 'send' these two gentlemen out." The old principal also decided to establish his authority.

Dumbledore took out the Elder Wand and waved it, and the huge magical power teleported the two of them out of the castle.

......

On the other side, in the Ravenclaw common room.

Aiden was troubled by the clothes in front of him.

"Professor Flitwick, do I really have to wear this?" Every cell in Aiden's body was resisting.

"Yes, you are the lead singer, so at least wear something conspicuous."

"But isn't this bright red wizard robe a bit too conspicuous?" Aiden declined.

"No, red looks so nice, and it really brings out your delicate features." Professor Flitwick blinked.

After some mental preparation, Aiden finally put on the wizard robe.

At the dinner, Professor Flitwick stood in front and directed.

There were four rows of young Ravenclaw wizards standing on the steps.

Professor Flitwick compiled the school song and added the corresponding rhythm, so that the school song no longer sounded so ghostly.

It seems that Aiden is not the only one who is unhappy with Dumbledore letting the guys have free rein.

Aiden's sweet voice echoed in the auditorium hall, and the use of his abilities combined with his singing seemed to exude a different kind of charm.

"He sings so well?" Ron was a little surprised.

"Don't you know?" Harry asked.

"Aiden never sang in the house," said Ron.

"You have really broadened your horizons," said Hermione.

Soon, the song on the podium was finished and everyone applauded the choir.

The choir dispersed, and Dumbledore walked up to the podium and began to loudly deliver his blessing for the new term.

"It's a new semester, and welcome back to Hogwarts. I have to announce this news before you get too full and dizzy."

Dumbledore pressed his hand down and the applause stopped.

"Firstly, Professor R. J. Lupin has agreed to be our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

He pointed his palm backwards and Lupin stood up and bowed.

"Secondly, our magical creatures teacher has decided to retire due to a physical disability, and his replacement is our gamekeeper, Rubeus Hagrid."

Professor McGonagall poked Hagrid, who immediately stood up but overturned the table.

There was loud applause from the Gryffindor table.

Professor McGonagall looked at her former student, sighed, and pulled Hagrid down.

"Finally, at the request of the Ministry of Magic, Dementors will guard every entrance to Hogwarts until Sirius is captured.

You must be aware that Dementors are evil creatures who cannot distinguish between prey and those who stand in their way, and nothing can hide them, including the invisibility cloak."

At this point, Dumbledore glanced at Harry specifically.

"So I want to warn you not to give them a reason to hurt you."

After Dumbledore finished his speech, Professor Flitwick came up and began to preside over the Sorting ceremony.

It was already the third year of sorting, and there were not many new wizards that Aiden knew.

The only thing worth noting is that Astoria was also sorted into Slytherin, and this year's Slytherin has three Greengrasses, which is rare.

After the sorting was completed, Dumbledore clapped his hands, and a variety of delicious food began to appear on the table.

"Oh, Aiden, I heard that you used the Patronus Charm on the train." Edmund came up and put his arm around Aiden's shoulders.

“I heard it’s a guardian angel in the form of a dragon. Let’s release it and see for ourselves.” Ethan agreed.

"We haven't even started eating yet and you two are already feeling full?" Aiden rolled his eyes.

"How much chaos do you want to cause by placing a guardian angel here?" Aiden lectured.

"By the way, Aiden, I have something to ask you. I always feel like there is someone I have forgotten recently. Do you have this feeling?" Edmund asked.

“Me too.” Ethan raised his hand to indicate +1.

"No." Aiden didn't look at the two of them, just concentrating on eating his food.

"Tsk, that's boring." The two of them muttered.

The dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere among the three people.
