Chapter 17: A lively opening dinner
"My goodness!"
As soon as they entered the Hogwarts Great Hall, the young wizards shouted in surprise.
What did they see? !
In addition to the candles floating in the air and the ceiling through which you can see the night sky, the Hogwarts Great Hall has completely changed!
Brand new tables and chairs, bright magic lights...
Only one summer had passed, and they could hardly recognize that this was the Hogwarts Great Hall.
The little wizards were ecstatic. They quickly sat down and started a heated discussion.
"Has Headmaster Dumbledore become rich? Why did he buy so many alchemical items from Swan?"
"I think the professors must have discovered Merlin's treasure!"
"I think so too. Didn't Merlin say so? Go find him. He put all his treasures in one place! It must have been discovered by Professor Dumbledore."
"Look! These are all custom-made. They must have been given to me by the school!"
"Oh my god! Look at the middle of the table. If I'm not mistaken, there is a magic circuit engraved with ancient runes. If you put the food there, it won't get cold! It looks just like the table we bought!"
A second-grade wizard was pleasantly surprised to find that after he sat on the bench, he was slowly rising higher and he immediately shouted out in surprise.
"Look, the seat I'm sitting in can actually automatically adjust according to my height! The height is just right for me now!"
"Really? Really? I want to try it too."
Other young wizards in the lower grades followed suit, and when they found that it was true, they all exclaimed in amazement.
"That's great! Mom doesn't have to worry about me not being able to reach the food on the table because of my short stature."
“I really want to buy one for my family!”
On the Gryffindor table.
Charlie Weasley was a little bored at the moment. He was originally very excited and was going to have a good chat with his friends about the Quidditch match he watched during the holidays.
What a wonderful game.
Isn't it much more interesting than this table and chairs? !
I don't know what these guys are talking about.
Not interesting.
He looked at his brothers who were not far away from him.
Good guy.
Each one more excited than the other!
Percy, who was usually such a calm guy, was now touching the table left and right, his eyes full of envy.
Fred and George?
These two guys are dancing in circles with their arms linked!
e=(′o｀*)))Alas...
Charlie sighed.
These guys are still kids!
Unlike myself, I have become a mature and stable adult!
He raised his head and looked towards the professors' seats. He found that the professors were all smiling, as if they had anticipated the students' reactions.
Even Professor Snape's expression wasn't that serious!
and many more! ! !
Who is sitting next to Professor Snape?
Why does it look so familiar?
"Merlin's beard!"
Charlie let out a sharp scream, which instantly drowned out the discussions of the young wizards in the room.
What's wrong? What's wrong?
What happened?
The little wizards were a little curious and looked in Charlie's direction.
Before the little wizards could see Charlie clearly, they saw Charlie suddenly stand up with an incredulous look on his face.
He stretched out his hand, pointed tremblingly at the professor's chair, and shouted:
"Two Minute Man!"
What? ? ?
Two Minute Man?
Sebastian Swann is here?!
The young wizards turned their heads sharply in the direction Charlie pointed and looked towards the professor's seat.
In an instant, the entire auditorium became very quiet, as if the pause button was pressed.
About two seconds later, the auditorium suddenly exploded.
The little wizards made all kinds of sharp cries, as if they were going to overturn the ceiling of the auditorium.
In the blink of an eye, they swarmed around the professor's seat.
Looking at Professor Snape next to them, the little wizards were a little afraid and hesitated to step forward.
They stood about a meter away, dancing excitedly and waving frantically at Sebastian.
"Ahhh! He really is a two-minute man!"
"So handsome!"
"Look, he's smiling at me!"
"Ahhh! Can you give me an autograph?!"
Sebastian's face looked a little bitter. He tried hard to maintain a smile and waved to the little wizards.
Who started it just now?
Why is he still called a two-minute man? ! !
It’s called “The man who locked the victory within two minutes”!!!
Not polite!
I want to see who it is?!
Sebastian glanced at it calmly.
Um...red-haired.
She looks very sunny.
Remember you!
Seeing that the situation was escalating, some young wizards suppressed their fear of Snape and ran up to him to ask for his autograph.
In order to prevent the opening dinner from turning into a signing event.
Dumbledore had to step in to help and let these little wizards from second to seventh grade sit back down.
After the little wizards sat down, their excitement did not diminish at all and they started discussing.
"Oh my god! Who would have thought that a world-famous star would be our professor!"
"It's a dream! It must be a dream! I must not have woken up yet!"
"Pinch me now, I suspect Professor Dumbledore has cast a spell on me!"
"The greatest Seeker in the world!"
"Not only that! He is also the boss of Swann Alchemy and the richest man in the magic world!"
"I suspect that the principal has ripped him off heavily. Look at these alchemical items."
"Nonsense! He must have wanted to be a professor at Hogwarts, so he donated a large sum of gold Galleons to the headmaster!"
The young wizards were talking among themselves, and they could only be sure of one thing now.
That man is coming to Hogwarts as a professor!
But new doubts arose.
"What subject do you think Professor Swan will teach us?"
"Of course! It must be Quidditch! He's the best seeker!"
"Good news to the first-year wizards!"
"Damn it! I just got promoted to the second grade. If I had known, I would have enrolled a year later!"
At this time, someone put forward different opinions.
"I don't think so. Look, Madam Hooch is here too!"
"Oh! I see! He must be the new professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts!"
"That makes sense! Only the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts changes every year!"
"Ahhh! Why is Professor Swan so pessimistic?!"
"He won't be in any danger, right?"
Hearing these discussions, some sentimental little witches fell into deep worry and began to pray silently in their hearts.
A new professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, like a nobody, had already fainted from crying.
At this time, the door of the auditorium opened again, and Professor McGonagall walked in with the new wizards.
Professor McGonagall looked around sternly, and the hall gradually became quiet.
She came to the front of the professor's seat, placed the Sorting Hat on a chair, and began to sort the first-year students.
While Professor McGonagall was presiding over the Sorting ceremony, Sebastian secretly touched Professor Flitwick's arm and asked the name of the little red-haired wizard.
Charlie Weasley.
Sebastian thought silently in his heart.
Gryffindor house, captain of the Quidditch team.
very good!
We must communicate well in the future!
Jie Jie Jie!
