Chapter 242
Perhaps the girls also thought of the same thing, and their eyes met tacitly.
The three smiled knowingly.
Then, Ye Ting looked in another direction.
Then, he suddenly found that Luna Lovegood, who had been holding Feiju, was staring at him with her silver-gray hazy eyes.
- Am I really that attractive?
Ye Ting remembered the girl's evaluation of himself on the train, and couldn't help touching his face.
Suddenly, the singing of the Sorting Hat reached a climax, and the sudden high-pitched singing interrupted Ye Ting's thoughts.
"...but this year I have to say a few more days, please listen carefully to my new song:
Although I am destined to divide you, I fear it is not the right thing to do.
Although I have to do my duty to divide the new year into four, I fear that such a division will lead to the collapse I fear.
Oh, know the danger, read the omens, the lessons of history warn us, our Hogwarts is in danger, and enemies outside the school are watching.
We must be united within, otherwise everything will fall apart from within.
I've spoken to you, I've raised the alarm for you, and now let's start sorting. "
The hat stopped moving again.
There was applause from all around, but there were whispers, which was the first time in Ye Ting's memory.
Throughout the auditorium, the classmates were chatting with the people sitting next to them. Ye Ting and the others clapped their hands together, knowing what they were talking about.
"It's a bit off topic this year, isn't it?" Marietta raised her eyebrows and said beside Zhang Qiu.
"It's true." Zhang Qiu said.
Often, the Sorting Hat only describes the different qualities that are valued by the four Hogwarts houses and its own task of classifying students.
"I wonder if it has warned before?" Hermione said, her voice a little disturbed.
"As far as I know, there have been," Ms. Grey said knowingly, poking her head over Anthony's head toward Hermione (Anthony flinches in horror as a ghost walks through you, which is very uncomfortable. ), "The Sorting Hat feels morally obligated to give the school an appropriate warning. I've heard the Sorting Hat warn several times before, always when it senses the school is in great danger. Of course, its advice It's the same every time: stick together and maintain internal stability."
Hermione and Zhang Qiu, look at me, I look at you, and said in unison.
"It's the Dark Lord!"
"Dark... Dark Lord?" Marietta covered her mouth in surprise, "Do you really believe that the Dark Lord... is resurrected? You know, the ministry has already quarreled, and some people firmly believe this, Some people think it's nonsense, and I heard that the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Burns, is leading people who believe this to be on guard, and my mother heard Fudge say that they are creating tension and are completely unnecessary..."
"They didn't do it for nothing!" Hermione interrupted Marietta loudly.
"What... what?" Hermione's words surprised Marietta.
"I said, they're not trying to make a mystery, not at all," Hermione retorted her seriously, "These people are very respectable people, they risk their lives to protect everyone, you shouldn't say that. them."
During the summer vacation, in order to collect information, Hermione and Ye Ting went to the Ministry of Magic. There, she saw with her own eyes how Ms. Burns led her Aurors to visit, search, and plan ahead. idle.
Hermione respected these people very much. Although influenced by Ye Ting, she also began to feel that there were many idiots and politicians in the Ministry of Magic, but the existence of these people made her have to admit that the Ministry of Magic also had serious people.
"But...but..." Facing Hermione, Marietta was speechless, she retorted hesitantly, "The Dark Lord is dead, there is no evidence that..."
"Yes!" Hermione said decisively. "There is evidence. That night, I saw the resurrection of the Dark Lord with my own eyes."
Facing Hermione, Marietta had nothing to say. She looked at Zhang Qiu beside her, hoping that her friends would support her point of view.
However, although Zhang Qiu's tone was gentle, her words made her a little sad.
"I believe Granger," she said, "I believe the Dark Lord has risen."
"You...you..." Facing her friend's "betrayal", Marietta couldn't believe it.
"I'm sorry, Aikemo," Zhang Qiu smiled at her gently, but still didn't change his opinion, "I still think what Granger said is right."
"Okay... okay." Marietta lowered her head sadly.
It seems that she is a little angry with Zhang Qiu, and the two may have to fight for a while.
However, it is understandable that Zhang Qiu does so.
After all, she saw it with her own eyes and experienced the activities of destroying Horcruxes. Such evidence is much more real than the illusory rumors.
Plus, while she and Marietta are good friends, she's actually closer to Hermione from another perspective.
How can a close best friend compare to a sister? And they were in the same bed... they fought side by side...
0330 Slughorn
Due to the small gap between Zhang Qiu and Marietta, they did not speak to each other until the end of the banquet.
However, Ye Ting felt that the relationship between Zhang Qiu and Hermione seemed to be much closer.
Besides, Luna kept staring at Ye Ting until the end of the banquet.
No, it wasn't staring, it was a curious observation, as if in her eyes, Ye Ting was a strange and cherished magical creature.
The students were all full and full, and the sound of the auditorium gradually became noisy, when Dumbledore stood up again.
The voices stopped immediately, and everyone turned their faces to the principal.
"Okay, now that we're digesting another incredibly rich meal, I ask everyone to be quiet for a while and listen to my usual notes about the new semester." Dumbledore said, "First-year freshmen should know that the hunting grounds Students are not allowed to enter the forbidden forest here—some of our senior classmates should know that by now.”
"Mr. Filch, the administrator, begged me, and he told me that this was the 426th time, and begged me to remind all of you that you are not allowed to use magic in the hallway, and many other regulations, which are listed in The long list was posted on the door of Mr. Filch's office."
"This year, we have two changes to our teaching staff. We are delighted that she welcomes back Professor Glapland, who will teach you the Conservation of Magical Creatures class. We are also delighted to welcome a new teacher. Professor Slughorn ."
Slughorn rose, his bald head gleaming in the candlelight, his bulging eyes, his walrus-like silver beard, and his large, vest-clad belly casting a great shadow on the table.
"He was a former colleague of mine, and he agreed to return to his old position as a Potions teacher."
"Potion class?"
"Potion class?"
The word echoed throughout the auditorium, and everyone wondered if they had heard it wrong.
Even Ye Ting felt a little surprised.
He did not expect that without Umbridge, Slughorn would actually become a professor at Hogwarts in advance, and become a professor of potions like the original.
However, this is no wonder, after all, Slughorn himself is a relatively timid type. Now he is willing to disregard Voldemort's fierceness and come to Hogwarts to be a professor. It must be because Dumbledore sent Harry but persuaded him.
