Chapter 68 67 School Starts

Chapter 68 67. School starts

The girl's facial features are very delicate, but covered with dust, and her messy hair makes her look like a wild girl working as a beggar on the street.

After being sent to this room, the girl silently sat on the ground like the other students, without contacting anyone else.

Slowly, there are more and more students in this basement, and it even exceeds the total number of all the students Jon has seen on the carriage. There are about seventy or eighty children gathered here, and each of them is dirty. , wearing a tattered linen robe, with a thin body and a yellow complexion, all looking malnourished.

And just when the time was approaching seven o'clock, the door that had been closed was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

A tall wizard with a long, twisted face walked in.

When they saw this wizard, most of the students sitting here trembled subconsciously. They were obviously afraid of this man who came through the door.

Jon looked at the wizard coldly in the corner. He was holding a shackle in one hand and a whip in the other. An excited grin appeared on his face after entering the door.

There were two house elves responsible for taking the "Mudbloods" back to the castle. When they saw the wizard coming in, they immediately and respectfully handed the parchment to his hand. This was the "holiday practice" assessment for all the students present. Score sheet.

The two house elves called the wizard "Mr. Dolohov."

Before arriving, Dumbledore provided Jon with all the teacher information the Order of the Phoenix currently had about Hogwarts Castle.

The full name of "Mr. Dolohov" should be "Antonin Dolohov", the current caretaker of Hogwarts Castle, a former loyal lackey of Voldemort, and also an extreme purist.

He was keen on punishing erring students, whether mudbloods or half-bloods, with whips and shackles, but turned a blind eye to any behavior of pure-blood students in the castle.

Taking the form from the elf's hand, Dolohov waved his hand, and the two house elves bowed and then disappeared from the room.

"Very good. After two months, we met again. Children, I miss you so much after being apart for so long."

He said kind words in a cold and stern voice, which made the students in the room feel no warmth at all. The younger children even shrank subconsciously into the corner.

The halls of Hogwarts were brightly lit, and the pure-blood and mixed-blood students who had been away from school for two whole months returned to the castle.

The auditorium was beautifully decorated, with hundreds of candlesticks carrying lit candles floating in the air. The ceiling was a gorgeous starry sky. It was not a window of glass, but had been enchanted to directly show the starry sky outside the castle.

There are four long tables below, one of which is clearly separated from the other three and placed closer to the high platform, while the other three long tables are placed flushly in the center of the auditorium.

The students sitting on the long table near the high platform wore more exquisite school robes, with a circle of gold embroidered on the cuffs and collars, and a dark green snake coiled with a message on their chests. Coat of arms in H.

Draco Malfoy was also sitting among them. He glanced arrogantly at the mixed-race freshmen who were being led into the auditorium by a professor and excitedly sitting down on the other three long tables.

"They're all a bunch of ignorant mixed-race bastards after all."

He sneered and whispered to the two stocky boys beside him.

Goyle and Crabbe also laughed, as if they had heard some funny joke.

Crabbe pointed to a handsome boy with a gentle expression among the three long tables below.

"I heard that that man is very popular with Professor Snape. What is his name? Digory?"

Malfoy saw the boy he was pointing at and said disdainfully.

"Cedric Diggory, his father is still an employee of the Ministry of Magic, but no matter how talented a half-blood is, Snape can only look after his own kind."

His last words were spoken in a low voice, and while he was speaking, his eyes unconsciously looked towards the long table filled with Hogwarts teachers.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the man, who was covered in black robes and looked like a big bat, didn't pay attention to them.

At the three long tables below, the students of the mixed-race college welcomed the new students. Seamus and Dean, who had already entered the second grade, were enthusiastically introducing the procedures of tonight's welcome party to the new students.

"The principal will come over later. This is also the only time he will come to Hogwarts Castle in a school year. However, when we enrolled last year, he did not make any long speech. He just welcomed the new students and announced the start. Dinner. The food here is great, I highly recommend you try the roasted pork knuckle, it’s really intoxicating. ”

"The students at the long table alone? Leave them alone. They have privileges no matter where they are, but don't provoke any of them. The professors will not turn on us. Besides, Hogg Watts is great all around, it’s a great school! ”

Soon, the door in the room was opened from the outside again.

This time, someone familiar to Jon came in - Barty Crouch Jr. He still had the faint smile on his face and walked in with several boys and girls.

"These are the new students this year. Remember to take good care of them, Dolohov."

"Of course I will, Professor Crouch."

Dolohov replied with a smile. He sent little Barty out and then brought the freshmen into the room. One of them asked a child who was confused by everything in front of him.

"Are you also a professor? Sir, why don't we go to the big room in the castle with others? And Professor Crouch said he would prepare wands for us."

"Snap!"

Before he finished asking the question, the thick whip hit him!

The boy's face was distorted by pain. He cried the next second and didn't understand what he did wrong.

Dolohov didn't care about him anymore, but drove the other freshmen who were already shocked to find an open space to sit down.

"There's still a lot of time, kids. Don't be afraid if you don't know the rules. Your seniors will show you what the rules are for Mudbloods in this castle!"

He looked at the report card in his hand, as if he saw something that satisfied him. The corners of his mouth curled up more and more, and he shouted a name.

"Tyler Stebbins!"

It's really hard to find information about Muggle students. I searched through the Harry Potter Encyclopedia and didn't find a few.
