Chapter 333 Opening Dinner

(In the dormitory, facing Crabbe and Goyle's surprised eyes, Draco's face flushed and he quickly buried himself in the pillow, but his red ears and the whimpering sound like a little animal still exposed his shyness and exasperation.)

(Dumbledore looked up at the clouds reflected on the ceiling, which was cast with magic, as if he saw another face through it, "What you can't get when you are young will eventually trap you for life.")

Harry laughed dryly when he came back to his senses. He suddenly felt that this was a bit too 'Albus Dumbledore'.

The sudden information wave and the small red dot that appeared in the lower right corner of the retina made Harry breathe a sigh of relief.

"Time is almost up, the start-of-term dinner."

"Yeah." 'Draco Malfoy', whose abnormality had disappeared, nodded.

He didn't think there was anything wrong. The joy bursting from his heart had covered all his rationality. The only words left in his mind were to become friends with Harry Potter.

(After hearing the word "back-to-school dinner", Ron finally regained some sanity, "What would people in the interstellar age eat?")

(In the hall, except for some Hufflepuffs like Ron, other audiences are more concerned about how many familiar faces they will see in the hall.)

("Almorik Sawbridge, the wizard who defeated the largest river troll in history on the Wye River!")

("Andros, the invincible who summoned a giant-sized patronus!")

("Archibald Alderton of Little Droppin, Hampshire, blew up the birthday cake when he used magic to combine it!")

("Betty Bott, the inventor of Bebe's Every-Flavor Beans!")

("Therce, who can turn people into pigs forever! Cool! I must ask her original name!")

(.)

("Alberic Granning! The genius who invented the dung egg!" Fred and George looked at this student who was bald at an early age with the eyes of an idol. If he could inherit the talent of the first prank prop, baldness would be nothing. They had long been used to seeing the baldness of their father, Arthur Weasley.)

After seeing so many historical celebrities, Harry also went from being startled to being calm.

After all, he himself was the biggest historical celebrity besides Badger Granger.

He was history itself now.

Sitting at the long table of Gryffindor, Harry looked up at the guest of honor.

It was still empty.

(Some viewers were disappointed. What they wanted to know most was who the professors at Hogwarts University of Witchcraft and Wizardry were and whether there were any familiar faces.)

"We are still too early." Harry turned to Draco and said, "By the way, I just remembered that you haven't answered a question for me yet. How come the Slug Club still exists now?"

"Draco" pouted to the side.

Harry looked and a familiar face appeared in front of him, "Horace Slughorn?"

"Yes, he is a descendant of the collateral line of the Slughorn family. While inheriting the name, he also inherited Horace Slughorn's keen eyes for identifying people. So the Slug Club, which gradually faded out of history after Horace Slughorn's death, was reborn." "Draco" said.

(Slughorn looked at the boy who looked exactly like him when he was young with curiosity, "Is this the descendant of my cousin?")

"Because everyone knows that Horace Slughorn is famous for his discerning eyes, everyone is happy to join it."

"Is that so?" Harry thought.

The students around who recognized Harry did not approach, most of them had already had enough when they were on the platform, and a few of them were because

Harry looked at the seat next to the main guest seat skillfully - the place where Snape usually sat, and he suddenly sensed a damp and dark, strange and familiar magical fluctuation.

The sound of 'Draco' breathing was subconsciously much smaller.

The surroundings also became quiet.

"Who is he?" Harry did not remember that he had seen this face before, but it was inexplicably familiar.

("Salazar Slytherin!" Ron whispered.)

(The whole hall, especially the Slytherin side, was instantly boiling.)

(Then it was Hufflepuff, because in the eyes of the general public in the wizarding world, Helga Hufflepuff was the only one of the four giants with bloodline inheritance.)

(Gryffindor had neither a child to inherit his surname nor a direct or collateral descendant.)

(Ravenclaw had a daughter, but that daughter seemed to have died young.)

(So, everyone was speculating whether there would be a wizard who inherited the name of Helga Hufflepuff among the professors who appeared next.)

'Draco' finally came to his senses and said in a dreamy voice Yin said: "It must be hard for you to believe that he is Salazar Slytherin."

"But it's no big deal. The head of the Gryffindor in the middle school is still the weird Ulric!"

("Weird Ulric?")

(The hall was quiet for a moment.)

(It was hard for everyone to believe that the weird Ulric could become the head of a house, and that someone was willing to inherit his name.)

(This is much more surprising than the reappearance of Salazar Slytherin.)

(In the Middle Ages, the most abundant thing was weird people who made fun of themselves because of studying magic.)

(And in that absurd era, those who could be called weird were undoubtedly the weirdest among weird people.)

(Trying a jellyfish as a hat and sleeping in a room with more than fifty pet augurs are just the tip of the iceberg of his weirdest deeds. He declared that the cries of the augurs were beneficial and mistakenly thought he was dead and tried to walk through a wall but failed. Ten days of concussion, carrying a dead badger to meetings with nothing on)

(The most important thing is how the weirdo Yuric became the head of Gryffindor House even though he was a student of Ravenclaw House, even in middle school.)

After Harry heard this, he put aside his surprise and curiosity about Salazar Slytherin and asked the same question instead.

'Draco' explained: "Slytherin majors in light armor engineering, Hufflepuff majors in subdimensional environment recycling engineering, Ravenclaw majors in atomic furnace modification, and Gryffindor majors in knights. "

"Among these four majors, only the knight major is more suitable for wizards."

"Weird Ulric is a wizard after all."

"Other majors are too difficult and focus on external things, which is completely contrary to the wizard's way of improving oneself."

(Ron snorted, "If I can't do it myself, I'll force myself to be more suitable for wizards. Didn't this guy who inherited the Slytherin name also become Slytherin - the dean of the light armor engineer profession?")

Harry, who had read books on other majors, was also a little skeptical and thought it was mainly because other majors were more difficult.

After all, magic potions and alchemy are not foreign objects yet.

The other three majors are estimated to be the same as arithmetic divination, no, more difficult than arithmetic divination, just like mathematics, it cannot be true.

But Harry still didn't expose 'Draco's' lies, and instead asked, "Draco, are there any familiar faces among the remaining professors? Especially our headmaster?"

As soon as he asked the question, Harry regretted that he was busy reading and training and did not have the teaching resources to Baidu Hogwarts University of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

That way his jaw wouldn't drop when Salazar Slytherin showed up.

'Draco' said nothing and looked at the guest of honor seat.

Harry realized that all the professors should have been seated and present.

He looked quickly.

'Head of Hufflepuff House? Don't know. ’

‘I don’t know. ’

‘I don’t know. ’

‘Why are there just these people? ’

("Why are there only these people?" Ron wondered.)

("Maybe because there are only four majors?" Neville replied.)

(Hermione is puzzled, "Where are the professors of Divination, Care of Magical Creatures, Potions, and Magic Texts? Are they all classified as knight majors, or have they been studied in primary and secondary schools?")

'this'

Harry's eyes focused on the seat of the principal in the center where the principal was sitting, the head guard of the guest of honor, "Albus Dumbledore?"

This was more of a shock than anything else.

(The audience in the magic world was also excited.)

(Isn’t the Dumbledore family extinct?)

(The elder brother likes men, and the younger brother likes goats.)

(Albus Dumbledore’s aunt also remained celibate after she caught her fiancé playing with a few horkraps [a magical animal that after all resembles male genitalia, a metaphor for her fiancé’s inappropriate sexual orientation].)

"I'm surprised," 'Draco' laughed, "I was the same way when I first learned about it."

"But then I realized one thing, not getting married and liking goats doesn't mean not having kids."

(Grindelwald chuckled, "A descendant of Credence, that nasty Aberforth's son.")

(Dumbledore was surprised, "Could it be...")

"Credence Barebone who followed Grindelwald, no, he should be called Aurelius Dumbledore. After the black and white war, he chose to live with his father Aberforth ”

"But in the end, the trace was lost, and there was no trace of him in the Hog's Head Bar."

"This Albus Dumbledore is a descendant of the Dumbledore's aunt in July 1881."

("What?" In the Hogwarts Great Hall and the Pig's Head Bar, the two Dumbledores doubt their lives.)

(They had never heard from their aunt Honoria that she had a child. Could it be that the child was a Squib?)

Harry suddenly felt that he had never clearly understood Dumbledore.

It was in the first magical world that I learned about the past events of Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

The unfamiliar female professor next to 'Dumbledore' stood up and said, "Please be quiet. Before the banquet begins, I want to say a few words to the freshmen."

"Let me first introduce myself briefly. Head of Gryffindor House and professor of Primitive Mechanics, Minerva Longbottom."

(Neville became embarrassed for a moment, and all eyes around him were directed at him.)

(He quickly explained, "Maybe they are descendants of my Uncle Algie.")

Sensing the excitement among some freshmen, she added, "Yes, just as you guessed, I am the daughter of Neville Longbottom and Hannah Abbott."

(The glances and cheers around him became even more intense.)

(Neville blushes and buries his head in his elbows.)

(Hannah Abbott of Hufflepuff looked at her future husband without timidity with a flushed face.)

(In Longbottom’s old house, Neville’s grandmother Augusta Longbottom burst into tears, “Amazing! My Neville Frank, your sons and granddaughters have all become amazing people.”)

("Is that girl's surname Aibo? I'm going to contact Amelia and let them get to know each other in advance. I want to hold my great-granddaughter in advance!")

Harry rubbed his eyes and finally found the outlines of Neville and Hannah from the stern face.

"This shouldn't be a surprise. Most of you have experienced primary and secondary schools and should already know the school and its professors very well, even the university."

"Some of our colleagues in primary and secondary schools should have introduced me to you in advance."

"But let me emphasize again, I have always been a person who can't tolerate sand in my eyes. Even in college, my classes are not allowed to be late or leave early."

(Ron's eyes lit up instantly, "Is it still allowed to be late and leave early for university classes?")

"The class schedule will be sent to your email address, and a reminder text message will be automatically sent 10 minutes before class starts."

"I don't want you to make any excuses for not paying attention."

"Although the school cup system no longer exists, I still hope that everyone will pay attention to the fact that in addition to the test scores, your grades in each subject still play a large role."

"Please abide by the rules and regulations of the campus and leave all uncivilized and illegal behaviors in the virtual universe."

"Students who have obtained the virtual universe in advance, please send your nickname and code to my email after class."

"Search the official Hogwarts website directly. My contact information is there."

After finishing speaking, Professor Longbottom sat down again vigorously, without even saying a word of concluding remarks.

("Although she didn't inherit Professor McGonagall's name, and she doesn't look like her, she really does look like Professor McGonagall." Ron looked at Neville in surprise, "How did you raise your daughter to be like this? ")

(Neville said nothing, he was looking at Hannah secretly.)

(Hannah, who was not timid at first, also started to dodge after noticing Neville's gaze.)

Then Dumbledore also stood up and said, "Welcome! Welcome everyone to the new school year! Before the banquet begins, I also want to say a few words. It may be very cliché, that is: 'Idiot! Cry! Residue! Screw it.' ! 'Thank you everyone!'

After speaking, he sat down and winked at Harry.

"It's really corny." Harry burst into tears laughing.

This made him feel like he was back in first grade.

However, beside him was no longer Ron, but 'Draco Malfoy'.

The food on the table has also changed greatly. Only a few of them are still recognizable to him, and many of them are new dishes.

(Audiences from all over the world saw the dishes of their own country’s culture in it, and they all sighed that it was indeed the interstellar era.)

(Ron has reached out, wanting to touch these unrecognizable but salivating delicacies.)

There were also a lot more drinks, many of which he couldn't even name.

("This is a Coke bar, but lemon is added to it." Some Muggle-born wizards recognized one of the drinks.)

Harry also recognized the Coke and poured himself a glass.

He had never had the chance to do this at the Dursley's, Dudley would drink all his drinks in advance before having to leave Harry alone when he went out.
