Chapter 252 Firebolt and Repercussions

"What?!" Hearing Ivan's words, Colin's open mouth could fit an egg into it.

He couldn't believe that Xu Langxing would become a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.

Seeing Colin's expression, Ai Wen knew that Xu Langxing had another admirer.

In fact, there are not a few little wizards who are as surprised and excited as Colin.

It didn't take long for the news that Xu Langxing succeeded Professor Lupin as the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor spread like wildfire, and the whole castle exploded.

Everyone was very happy and welcoming for such a legendary figure like Xu Langxing to become a professor at the school, and even many Slytherin Academy students were looking forward to it.

At the dinner that night, the atmosphere in the auditorium was undoubtedly warm.

When Xu Langxing walked in, there was a long applause in the auditorium, and everyone craned their necks and looked around curiously, trying to see what he looked like.

The chatter continued, until Dumbledore stood up to speak, and the auditorium was really quiet.

Dumbledore looked a little older than when he had been separated a few days ago.

The Wizengamore trial of Peter Pettigrew for days seems to have cost him a lot of effort.

However, his eyes were still shining, and through the semi-circular eyes, those pale blue eyes gave a feeling of seeing through everything.

"Welcome!" said Professor Dumbledore, his beard gleaming in the light of the candles. "I am delighted to see you all at Hogwarts again after the Christmas break. Before dinner begins, I will Introducing a new teacher, Professor Black, who will succeed Professor Lupin as the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor."

As soon as Dumbledore's voice fell, there was a deafening applause from below.

The applause on the Gryffindor table was extraordinarily enthusiastic. Harry, Ron and the others even patted their palms red because they were too hard.

Xu Langxing stood up and waved his hand. He was sitting next to Hagrid, with Professor McGonagall on the other side. Except for Snape, who looked disgusted, as if he had swallowed a fly, the other professors also smiled and applauded.

"Look at Malfoy!" Hermione whispered suddenly into Evan's ear.

Ai Wen saw Malfoy's gloomy Slytherin's long table, he did not look at Xu Langxing, but stared at himself and Harry in disgust.

After noticing Ai Wen's gaze, he hurriedly shifted his gaze elsewhere.

For Malfoy's anomaly, Ivan is not surprised. In the case of Professor Lupin, because he wanted to drive Dumbledore from Hogwarts, Lucius Malfoy took a huge risk and further planned a werewolf riot based on Peter Pettigrew's plan.

During the trial, Peter Pettigrew said it all. He took control of Ron and wrote to Lucius Malfoy, hoping that Lucius could help him deal with Lupin, and all the things that prevented Dumbledore from returning to the castle at a critical moment were told.

Although everyone suspected that Lucius planned the werewolf riot behind the scenes, there was no evidence. Lucius refused to admit that he received a letter from Peter Pettigrew, and the Ministry of Magic had never caught the werewolf of Greyback, not even a No hair was found.

In this environment, Lucius eventually escaped punishment.

Of course, he also paid a great price. Fudge and those politicians are not so easy to buy, and it is an astronomical sum to impress them.

What depresses Lucius the most is probably not the gold, but an excellent opportunity to defeat Dumbledore, which was wasted by Peter Pettigrew. If he had known the truth earlier, he would never have been as stupid as Peter Pettigrew who was defeated by a few twelve or three year old wizards.

Lucius is now very jealous of Ai Wen, Harry and others, hated to death.

In this case, Malfoy would naturally not have any good feelings towards Ai Wen, and his attitude was much worse than usual. He must be thinking about how to deal with Ai Wen and them.

But Ai Wen doesn't care, at Malfoy's level, if he wants to provoke himself, he is asking for trouble.

That night, there was still a heated discussion in the Gryffindor common room about Xu Langxing becoming the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and everyone was looking forward to his first class.

It's a pity that 2nd grade doesn't have Defence Against the Dark Arts classes until Thursday.

The talk about it continued until Harry took out his Firebolt. Almost instantly, he was surrounded by people vying to see the Firebolt.

"My God, this is the Firebolt. I saw it in the window of the Quidditch boutique in Diagon Alley. The price of this broom is astronomical. Where did you get it?"

"Let me ride it, please?"

"Have you ever ridden, Harry?"

"Can I just take it, Harry?"

Everyone is passing on the Firebolt, admiring it from every angle.

After learning that this broom was a Christmas gift from Xu Langxing to Harry, the crowd immediately burst into more exclamations, and everyone looked forward to Xu Langxing and the upcoming Defence Against the Dark Arts class.

"I don't understand, it's just a broomstick that makes them all so excited," said Hermione, frowning as she sat on the sand in front of the fireplace, checking her Christmas holiday homework.

"It's the most expensive broomstick, more expensive than all the brooms in the school combined!"

Ai Wen sat on the sand beside her, looking at the book about vampires he had just borrowed from the library, he raised his head and glanced at the long parchment in Hermione's hand, "You remember this place wrong. , the material of the shrinking potion does not include the eyes of the puffer fish."

"Oh!" The nib of Hermione's hand slid across the parchment.

"Seriously, you don't plan to take so many classes next semester, do you?"

"I know," sighed Hermione, "that timer is driving me crazy, being in different places at the same time and being careful not to be spotted, I can't take it any longer. , I'm going to give up Muggle Studies and Divination next year. That way, I can have a normal schedule again."

"Next year?!" Ivan immediately noticed the time Hermione said.

"There must be a beginning and an end, Ai Wen!" Hermione began to look down at her magical history homework again, and continued, "I can't live up to Professor McGonagall's expectations of me, you know, she worked hard to help me get it. This time-turner, and it has helped us a lot."

Seeing Hermione's appearance, Ivan didn't know what to say.

Hermione was right, thanks to the help of this time-turner, they were able to capture Peter Dwarf, otherwise the situation would have been terrible.

He didn't object to Hermione's insistence, he just hoped that she could walk with energy and think more about her physical condition. (To be continued.)
