Chapter 234 Idols Enter Reality

The Great Hall was filled with chatter as students gathered together, vying to talk about what they had seen and heard on the Hogwarts Express.

"Oh my god, as soon as that thing came in, I felt so cold!" Ernie MacMillan, a third-year Hufflepuff boy, waved his arms exaggeratedly and said with a tremor in his voice, "I feel like my bones are freezing!"

"You're right, me too!" The girl opposite, Hannah Abbott, quickly agreed, still looking a little frightened.

"I was sitting in the corner of the box. The monster just passed by outside the box, but the air inside the box seemed to freeze. I have never felt so uncomfortable. All the happiness seemed to be sucked away!"

"Those are the Dementors guarding Azkaban," a senior student explained to the younger students around him, "They are responsible for absorbing happiness and bringing despair."

Hearing this, Ernie MacMillan looked towards the Gryffindor table and said, "It seems that Harry Potter is quite powerful. He dares to confront such a terrible creature."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the agreement of many young wizards.

"What's so strange about this? You know, Potter defeated the mysterious man when he was a baby. He is the legendary savior."

"Potter is really amazing. That unknown spell tore the Hogwarts Express apart, and even Professor Lupin couldn't fix it."

"When I first heard it, I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true. The cracks in the wall can't be faked."

Listening to everyone's discussions, Malfoy at the Slytherin table looked at Harry with a complicated expression.

hateful!

He was outdone by Potter again.

When the Dementors got on the car, I didn't dare to move.

Who would have thought that Potter was so powerful that he could fight the Dementors head-on.

Although he fainted in the end, the crack on the carriage was Porter's medal of courage.

I thought that after a summer of hard work, I would be able to defeat this guy Porter.

I didn't expect that he would know such a powerful spell. Now it seems that I still need to practice more.

Snape sat in the professor's chair, listening to the students' discussions, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

Is the Minister of Magic a pig-brained person? He actually allowed Dementors to board the Hogwarts Express.

This stinky werewolf Lupin was still somewhat useful. He drove away the Dementors and saved Harry at the critical moment.

In other words, Harry did not suffer any substantial harm, otherwise he would have followed Dumbledore's example and sent a Howler to Fudge.

Looking at Snape who looked like he didn't want anyone to approach him, the young wizards swallowed silently and whispered to their companions.

"Who said Professor Snape quit? Isn't he sitting in the professor's chair just fine?"

"But the wizard who claims to be the Potions professor is now sitting in the professor's chair."

"Not only the professor of Potions, I also met the new professors of Charms and Transfiguration."

"I was so scared. When I saw the new Transfiguration professor, I thought Professor McGonagall had quit."

"What's going on? Why are there so many new professors in the professorial chair?"

"I don't know, but there's a big move at school. Look, the old man sitting with Dumbledore is the legendary Newt Scamander."

"Wow, this is idols entering reality."

"Professor Lupin is not bad either. Should we go ask him for his autograph now?"

Amid the students' discussions, Hagrid led the first-year students into the auditorium.

As the Sorting ceremony ended, Dumbledore slowly stood up and walked to the center of the podium. His eyes passed through every student in the hall with a smile on his lips.

He raised his hands and pressed them gently, signaling the students to be quiet.

The auditorium gradually became quiet, and even the slightest whispers disappeared.

"Welcome back to Hogwarts," Dumbledore cleared his throat, "Before we enjoy the sumptuous dinner, I have a few things to announce."

"First of all," Dumbledore's face darkened slightly, "I'm sure many people have seen the Dementors, the guards of Azkaban, on the Hogwarts Express."

"They are sent by the Ministry of Magic to perform official duties. They will be stationed at various entrances to the school this year."

As soon as these words were spoken, a low murmur of discussion immediately broke out in the entire auditorium.

The students couldn't help but look around, especially those who had witnessed the Dementors on the train, who still had a trace of fear on their faces.

"Quiet," Dumbledore said in a very serious voice. "I must emphasize that when they are here, no students are allowed to leave the school at will. No tricks can deceive them."

"Dementors are very dangerous creatures. They cannot distinguish between good and evil. They can only sense your emotions and soul."

"Therefore, I strongly advise all students, no matter what the situation is, do not try to provoke them or give them the opportunity to hurt you."

Many students couldn't help but shrink their shoulders and look down at their plates, as if they didn't want to recall the oppressive feeling brought to them by the Dementors.

Harry was no exception. He couldn't help but feel his stomach tighten a little, and the suffocating chill still lingered in his mind.

Dumbledore noticed the tense atmosphere among the students in the hall, then changed the subject and smiled with a relaxed smile.

"Now I would like to share some exciting news. We have some new changes in our professor team this year."

“Many new professors have joined our teaching team, and I believe many students have come into contact with them.”

"First," said Dumbledore, "we are honored to have with us Newt Scamander, a renowned magizoologist in the wizarding world."

"He will be the professor of Care of Magical Creatures, responsible for teaching fifth, sixth and seventh years."

As soon as Newt Scamander's name was announced, the atmosphere in the auditorium instantly became extremely warm.

Almost every wizarding family has heard of the legendary story of Newt Scamander, and his book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is a must-read textbook for every student.

The students clapped excitedly. The Hufflepuff students were particularly excited and warmly welcomed their old senior back to Hogwarts.

Dumbledore let the lively atmosphere in the Great Hall calm down a bit before continuing his announcement.

"Rubeau Hagrid will be teaching Care of Magical Creatures alongside Professor Scamander. He will be teaching third and fourth years."

The whole hall cheered again, especially from the Gryffindor students.

Hagrid stood up suddenly and waved excitedly to everyone around him. He stood up so quickly and so hard that he almost overturned the professor's chair.

Dumbledore raised his hand again, signaling the students to be quiet: "The professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is Remus Lupin. I believe many people know him."

Of course I know him, he's a TV star.

Almost everyone has seen the TV series starring Lupin.

Except for a few young wizards who looked embarrassed, everyone stood up and cheered for Lupin.

Hearing everyone's cheers, Lupin felt relieved. He had always been worried that the young wizards would dislike his identity as a werewolf.

Then, Dumbledore introduced the new professors one by one.

Whether on the train or on the platform, the performance of these new professors has already won the favor of the little wizards.

The young wizards did not hesitate to give applause and warmly welcomed every new professor.
