Chapter 149 Strange Looks
After getting on the carriage with Pansy, Daphne, and Astoria and entering the auditorium and sitting down,
Listen to the Sorting Hat's new song and its origin story.
As the Sorting Ceremony unfolds, Astoria is racking her brains to come up with new lyrics for the Sorting Hat's new song.
Daphne kept reminding Astoria to pay attention to her sitting posture, while Pansy looked at the freshmen's appearance and commented on them one by one.
Whenever someone who wasn't considered good-looking was sorted into Slytherin, they would curse the Sorting Hat for being blind.
At the end of the Sorting Ceremony, Dumbledore opened his hands and said two words in a loud and joyful voice: "Welcome, and eat!"
The freshmen seemed excited by the principal's eccentricity and the food that suddenly appeared on the table.
The old students were already busy eating.
The dinner was noisy as usual.
Except for a few middle and high school students who looked at the high table curiously and whispered.
There was obviously an empty seat at the high table, presumably for this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
Not surprisingly, most of the curious voices came from the express train.
People who heard Hannah's propaganda about the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor preparing lessons in the carriage.
As the feast came to an end, Dumbledore stood up, walked to the high table and opened his hands.
As usual, after announcing the new list of prohibited items and Hogsmeade travel reminders,
The principal made a statement that nearly caused a riot in the auditorium.
"Unfortunately, this year's Quidditch event has been cancelled."
The overwhelming complaints in the auditorium only subsided slightly when the principal raised his hands.
"I am also deeply intoxicated by our four great seekers!"
“But, starting this October, we’re going to have a big year-long event.”
"This takes up most of the teachers' energy, and I think you will enjoy it too."
"This year Hogwarts will host—"
Just as he was about to say the name of the competition, there was a sudden rumble of thunder in the magical sky.
At the same time, the door of the auditorium slammed open, and a man as majestic as a wild bear appeared at the door with a solid wooden cane.
Then another flash of lightning flashed across, illuminating the face that was full of scars and gaps as if it had been roughly carved by a planer.
The man took off his hood, revealing his long pale grey hair.
He walked slowly forward with a cane, and with every step he took, the sound of knocking echoed in the auditorium.
But the most frightening thing is a bright blue, coin-sized prosthetic eye.
As the man walked, he kept turning his head, as if he was scanning the surroundings to see if there were any suspicious people.
The hall fell into silence as the man arrived, until he walked up to the high table.
Dumbledore greeted the man cordially, asked him to take a seat, and then spoke to the students:
"Allow me to introduce to you the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."
"Professor Moody."
This caused a lot of discussion in the auditorium again. "Is it that Mad-Eye Moody?"
The Gryffindor table was filled with excited murmurs, except from Harry.
On the Slytherin side, Daphne and Pansy looked at Draco with some worry.
Moody pulled out a small medicine bottle from his bosom, took a sip, and then lowered his head to concentrate on enjoying his dinner.
Dumbledore smiled and spoke again.
"As I was about to say, we will be hosting the Triwizard Tournament next."
This reignited the emotions in the auditorium.
Dumbledore seemed to be very excited about this as well, and he almost went off topic and told jokes several times.
Only after Professor McGonagall reminded us did we get back to the topic.
The Triwizard Tournament was a competition established between the three major magic schools in Europe about seven hundred years ago.
Hogwarts, Durmstrang, and Beauxbatons each select a champion.
Challenge the three levels of magic trials, and the winner will receive supreme honor.
Later, the experiment was discontinued because it was too dangerous and the casualties among fighters were too high.
It was not until this time that the event was successfully resumed with the main planning by Mr. Crouch.
In addition to the honor, the champion of the first rematch will also receive a generous bonus.
"In October, the headmasters of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will visit with their carefully selected challengers."
The lure of bonuses and honors made the students in the classroom restless.
You can hear many students shouting "I want to participate".
But Dumbledore's next words turned the excitement into dissatisfaction.
"I believe everyone is eager to try it, but as I said, safety considerations take precedence over everything else this time."
After discussing with the principals of both schools, we decided to set the threshold at 17 years old.”
Ignoring the almost boiling roar of the whole audience, Dumbledore spoke calmly, but a gleam of light was revealed behind his half-moon glasses.
"Believe me, this is the best arrangement."
"There are many trials that will be difficult for even the best sixth and seventh year students."
"That means I'll be setting up the defenses myself, so—"
"I sincerely advise that those of you who are under the age of 18 don't need to bother trying."
Dumbledore finished, regaining his relaxed demeanor.
"Visitors from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will be here in October."
“I believe everyone will treat the guests well.”
"I also believe that after Hogwarts selects the champion, everyone will give their full support."
"Now, everyone has classes tomorrow! Go back to bed, everyone. Good night!"
After he finished speaking, he returned to his seat and had a lively conversation with Moody, while the students began to move towards the auditorium door.
-
Draco and Harry exchanged a brief glance before standing and leaving the table.
Both of them could clearly feel that Moody's fake eyes were still locking onto each other from time to time.
After Harry, Ron, Hermione and the Gryffindors left the hall,
The four daughters of Slytherin were also preparing to step out of the hall.
Before walking out the door, Daphne and Pansy held Draco, stopped, and looked back at the high table.
"That eye is still looking at you, isn't it?"
"You guys felt it too?"
Draco's tone revealed the unhappiness of being stared at and the discomfort in his heart.
"An old acquaintance of Mr. or Mrs. Malfoy?"
"They probably don't know each other, but they must have heard each other's names."
"don’t worry."
in unison.
Then, the two girls stood behind Draco and looked at Moody with caution and threat.
The aura emanating from the two daughters made the students who were about to leave stop where they were.
It was not until Moody, who had turned his head to talk to Professor McGonagall, withdrew his gaze from his fake eye that he left with Draco.
"We won't let him get near you."
Pansy and Daphne whispered in unison on either side of Draco.
After the three left, Moody turned his eyes to the exit of the auditorium again.
The cracked and chipped corners of his mouth almost raised a scornful smile.
On the high table, Snape glanced at Moody and narrowed his eyes.
Although the data is very poor and the number of gifts is not enough, I will still add another chapter! I hope you will also work hard!
I am still asking for gifts!!! Those who don’t have the ability to do so can give more gifts to show their love! (Each person can give three gifts) I don’t mind those who pay for gifts!!! It is still the extra update plan, you should have seen it before!
