Chapter 49 Do You Still Remember the Leader Who Spoke on the Cold Winter Playground?
The start-of-term banquet has been going on for nearly half an hour, and now the main dishes on the long tables of the major colleges have long been removed and replaced with various after-dinner drinks, fruits and desserts!
The students who still had some room in their stomachs began to sip these delicious sweets, while Ron and Harry, who were already full, could only slump on their seats with their stomachs stretched out and stare blankly at the table full of desserts. ! They ate too much for the dinner just now, and now they can't fit any extra food in their stomachs!
Dumbledore on the teacher's seat was discussing something in a low voice with Professor McGonagall beside him. Due to their age, the two didn't eat too much. It's dinner! Sweets after a meal are not something they can afford!
"Hmm! Cough cough! Classmates! Ladies and gentlemen? Please keep quiet! Listen to me! Please..." After seeing that everyone had eaten almost, Dumbledore stood up from the teacher's seat , indicating to the students to be quiet for a while, now it is his turn to speak as the principal.
At this time, after drinking and eating. The students of the four colleges were bragging and farting in their respective positions in the auditorium, or chatting about some interesting things, completely oblivious to the fact that their principal was about to deliver an important speech.
For example, Gryffindor's Willis twins were teasing their little Ginny across the table, and after a while they made their little sister blush, and they didn't know what they were talking about. And Harry and Ron continued the original topic, whispering something in whispers, and turning their heads from time to time to glance at Hermione who was tasting dessert. As for the students in other colleges, they were basically the same, talking loudly or quietly about their favorite things.
Look at the reactions of the students below, which embarrasses Dumbledore as the headmaster! Among the students below, except for some prefects who were trying to restrain the students of their respective colleges, the others didn't notice Dumbledore at all, and they were still talking about certain things!
After the opening party of each semester, it was a routine time for the headmaster to speak. Generally speaking, Dumbledore never liked to talk too much, and he would just say a few nonsense words every time before announcing the end of the meeting! I remember last school year, when he just hummed a few irrelevant words and announced his disbandment!
Because when Dumbledore traveled in his early years, he met the leaders of some schools in the Muggle world, and those people actually caught a group of students to give a long speech on the playground in the cold winter morning! They kept talking non-stop, until their faces were red and their necks were thick, and they never thought of stopping until the sun rose. look! Those people thought that the longer they spoke, the more they could show their presence! As everyone knows, those students on the playground have long wanted to pull them off the high platform and beat them up!
Therefore, Dumbledore has been taking this matter as a warning since he became the principal. Every time he speaks to the students, he will not take too long. As long as it is not something too important, he does not want to say too much at all. sentence! Every time he speaks, he just squeaks a few times, pats his ass and leaves after saying a few words!
But now the situation is a bit special, Dumbledore has to say a few more words, but only a few words, he promises that it will not exceed five minutes! Not even five minutes! Unexpectedly, when he wanted to talk now, the students below would not sell him face like this! It is simply unreasonable! Then you can't blame him! So, he took the Elder Wand from his cuff, and tapped it to his throat.
"Please be quiet!!" A huge sound wave swept the entire auditorium, and after the sound wave that shook the students' eardrums passed away, they finally moved their hands covering their ears and fell silent! Qiqi looked at their principal!
Dumbledore saw that the effect of the loud spell was not bad,
Nodding in satisfaction, he slowly removed the old wand from his throat. The old man was very satisfied with his spells. In his opinion, his own prestige was quite good. Look, have you calmed down? The students still love and respect him as always!
"Ahem! Classmates! Today I want to say a few more words, old man. First of all, it's a new school year! Welcome everyone back to Hogwarts!!" Dumbledore had just finished his first sentence, before he could pause Suddenly, violent applause suddenly sounded, and it lasted for a long time.
It took Dumbledore many times to stop the troublesome applause! This made him feel bad for a while! The old man hasn't even finished his sentence, what kind of palms are you drumming? Deliberately making trouble, right? oh! see! Leading the way are the Weasley twins? very good! The old man remembers you two brothers! Huh? What was the old man going to say next? Oops! Fragments! I forgot the words!
After being stunned for a few seconds, Dumbledore just looked at the students below the hall in embarrassment, and didn't continue talking! Because he has forgotten what to say next! After a while, Professor McGonagall, who was still on the side, saw the principal's dilemma, coughed twice, and reminded the principal to look at little Anne next to him, that was what the two of them were discussing just now.
Oh! correct! That's it! That's right! It's about little Annie! Dumbledore finally came to his senses after McGonagall's timely reminder, and remembered what he was about to say just now!
"Ahem! Gentlemen and ladies! I think everyone should know that some things did happen in the wizarding world a while ago. I believe everyone knows about the Gringotts incident! Then... "Once again, before Dumbledore finished speaking, a burst of noise rang out again! The students ignored the principal's speech and began to whisper to each other.
"Wow! I know this! I know! I've read every issue of the newspaper!" A Slytherin student proudly said to a stunned classmate next to him who didn't know the truth.
"Cut! I know that too! Of course! It's the matter of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, right?" Another Slytherin student replied disdainfully. In her opinion, the Gringotts incident is probably in the wizard world No one here will not know, right?
"What are you talking about? What is it?" This is a third-year Slytherin student with a confused face. Looking at the people around her talking happily, she has no idea what they are talking about. ! She was just going on vacation during the holidays, why did she become so out of group now? Could it be that she missed something?
"What did you say?! You really don't know?" The surrounding crowd looked at her in surprise! Could this guy be from a Muggle family? But it's not right either! Slytherins had never heard of wizards from Muggle families, had they? Then how could she not know?
"Me! I went to my grandfather's castle in the country for a vacation! It's very remote, and the location is kept secret, even owls can't get in, so of course I don't know!" No one or animal can find it without the permission of my grandfather who is the secret keeper! And she hadn't left the confidentiality of the castle during the whole vacation, and her grandfather didn't want to be disturbed by the mundane affairs of the outside world, so it was understandable that he didn't know about Gringotts!
"Oh! So that's the case, then I'll tell you now, the goblins in Gringotts have had a bad luck this time! They..."
Dumbledore looked down at the students who were discussing and arguing again with black lines all over his head. This time he pressed his hands several times to see if he could bring back the attention of the students who were arguing.
All right! Dumbledore took a deep breath, you forced me to do this! The old man is going to make a big move! So, he tapped his wand to his throat again. The professors on the side hurriedly covered their ears when they saw it, and some more elegant professors nodded their heads with their wands. It seems that they must have cast some kind of noise-blocking magic on themselves.
"Please be quiet!!!"
A louder roar than before swept out, shaking the entire auditorium as if to tremble! Then, hum~! ! After the bang, the severe echo tinnitus vibrated in the students' ears.
Dumbledore put away his wand again, looked at the dizzy students in the audience, and nodded with satisfaction. Now, are you finally willing to calm down? You really have no temper as an old man, right? When the old man goes crazy, the old man himself is afraid!
"Students! This semester, our Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will add a special open class! The class schedule will be sent to your prefects later! This course will teach you some brand-new things that are not available in the wizarding world. Knowledge! And the most important thing is: this course is not counted in grades, and everyone can choose to take it or not! However, as the principal, I must remind you here that if you can take it, it is best to take it. Good to go and listen!" Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the students below who looked curious but did not dare to discuss without authorization.
"Okay, next, everyone welcomes your new open class teacher! Anne! Professor Anne Hastur!" Dumbledore took the lead in applauding, but he was a little embarrassed to find that, except for him and a few professors, It seems that few of the students below responded to him, and the students just stared blankly at the little girl who stood up from the teacher's seat.
"Hi everyone! My name is Annie, nice to meet you all!" Annie slowly floated up from the teacher's seat, and after standing in mid-air at the same height as Dumbledore, she set a standard for the students of the four colleges lady gift.
This semester, she will be a special-appointed professor at Hogwarts, teaching students some magical knowledge of the world of Valoran! This was the result of negotiations in the last meeting with Dumbledore. In return, Dumbledore will prepare all kinds of magic materials for her to activate the space gem magic circle within a year! Because after a failed space gate, this time Annie plans to prepare a more precise and perfect magic circle to activate the space gem during the stone charging time!
"Wow~!" After Annie finished speaking, the whole auditorium became lively again, and some of them only now found the little girl Annie sitting on the teacher's seat!
It's that little girl! She directed the whole Gringotts Wizarding Bank event! It has been so long, even now, nearly half of the pages of the Daily Prophet are still fermenting about the Gringotts incident! Folks would love to see any new news about the event too!
Now, the different opinions of different people are still being discussed fiercely on the Daily Prophet! Everyone has different views on this incident, but the only thing they have in common is their affirmation of Annie's strength! Although some assessments are still highly controversial, the entire magical world basically agrees on one point, that is: this little girl named Anne is a powerful wizard with strength not inferior to Dumbledore and the mysterious man! !
After the party was over and everyone started to leave, Ron was still a little dizzy on the way back to the Gryffindor College lounge! It never occurred to him that that powerful little girl would teach them magic! That's an eight-year-old girl, right? He even became their special-appointed professor at Hogwarts! It's too...., okay! Where other people's strength is, it should be a matter of course for a wizard not inferior to Dumbledore to act as a professor!
And think about when I was eight years old? What were you doing at that time? Are you still playing in the mud? Or ready to steal those delicious treats that mom locked in the cupboard at home? Ron shook his head as soon as he thought about it for a while, why don't we compare? The damage value is really too big! It's going to be a crit!
"Hi! Hermione! Say, Annie... er, what exactly will Professor Anne teach us?" Ron was still a little uncomfortable calling a little girl much younger than himself a professor! But I am still very interested in what she wants to teach! Anyway, it is not included in the grades, and there is no exam, let alone homework! You can also listen to it!
"Hmph! No comment!"
Of course Hermione knew what Anne was going to teach! These were all finalized with Dumbledore when we were in the principal's office! But she wouldn't tell Ron and Harry now!
Who made the two of them keep arranging themselves in private just now? Like Hermione who relied on the strength of a little girl to rob a bank? Hermione who pretends to be a tiger? look at them! What are these words? Still not friends? Don't think she can't hear them whispering! There is another thing in this world, it is called: Eavesdropping spell! Hermione didn't even bother to pay attention, she gave them a blank look, and walked over at a faster speed!
