Hogwarts from another world

Chapter 121 Teacher (600 monthly votes plus more updates)

Due to some time delays, the process of this year's opening banquet seems to be more concise than usual.

They chatted together for only five minutes before Vice-President Professor Rozier left her seat. A moment later, she led a long line of first-year students to the top of the auditorium.

If Matthew and the others were wet before, then it was nothing compared with these first-year students.

Look at them, it's like they didn't take a ferry but swam from the lake

All of them became drowned rats.

They stood in a row along the staff table and stopped. Many of them were shivering, perhaps because they were cold and nervous.

Professor Rosier placed a three-legged stool on the ground in front of the freshmen, and placed a tattered, dirty, and patched wizard's hat on the stool.

The eyes of the entire auditorium were immediately focused on the wizard's hat. For a moment, there was silence.

Then a crack near the brim opened like a mouth, and it suddenly sang:

"Welcome to Hogwarts,

I also hope you won’t regret coming here,

You may spend seven years of romantic time in this castle,

Or maybe I'm just wasting a lot of time here,

"

The lyrics are generally the same as a year ago. They still make everyone aware of the crisis, call for unity, and call for students from the four colleges to live in harmony.

When the singing ended, there was warm applause in the auditorium.

Professor Rosier unfolded a large roll of parchment.

"When I call someone's name, they go over and sit on the stool and put on their hats," she told the first-year students. "When the hat announces the house, they go and sit at the corresponding table of each house."

"Sean Avery."

A tall boy with freckles stumbled out of the crowd and put on his hat.

"Slytherin" shouted the Sorting Hat.

Sean Avery took off his hat and hurried towards the Slytherin table. The Slytherin students began to applaud, and Matthew also applauded symbolically.

"Theresa Baker."

"Ravenclaw"

"Melinda Bobin."

"Ravenclaw"

"Colin Creevey."

"Gryffindor"

"Astoria Greengrass."

"Slytherin"

Astoria, who seemed to be Daphne Greengrass' sister, sat down between her sister and Agnes Lestrange, who were chatting happily.

The sorting ceremony continued, with varying degrees of fear on the faces of the freshmen, male and female, as they walked towards the three-legged stool one by one. The team is slowly decreasing, and Professor Rozier has already read the names on the list that start with l:

"Luna Lovegood."

A strange girl with an erratic temperament walked up to Professor Rozier. Her pale skin, silver eyes and dark golden brown hair stood out in the crowd.

"Ravenclaw"

And Steven Lucas became a new student in Hufflepuff.

Applause sounded again and again in the auditorium, and there were fewer and fewer students left.

"Elaine Shafiq."

Matthew heard a somewhat familiar surname. Like the manager of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, it also seemed to be the surname of a pure-blood wizard family.

"Slytherin"

With the last two students, Ginny Weasley going to Gryffindor, and Magdalena Yaxley coming to Slytherin, the sorting ceremony came to an end.

Professor Rosier picked up the Sorting Hat and the stool and took them away.

Crabbe hurriedly grabbed the knife and fork, then looked longingly at the empty plate in front of him.

Professor Grindelwald stood up, his lines even more concise than a year ago:

"Let's eat"

All kinds of delicious food suddenly appeared on the golden dinner plate, as if they were falling from the sky.

Chunks of beef, pies, plates of vegetables, bread, jam, mashed potatoes and jugs of pumpkin juice

Crabbe, who couldn't wait any longer, began to stuff large amounts of mashed potatoes into his mouth.

The banquet was as lively as ever.

The heavy rain still pounded against the windows, but the sun on the ceiling disappeared.

A sudden flash of lightning illuminated the golden plate, and the rest of the meal disappeared, filled again with pudding in the blink of an eye.

Matthew picked up a piece of treacle fruit pie. It tasted good and he liked it.

As the pudding was swept away, the golden plates and goblets also disappeared.

Everyone was lying on the chairs, touching their swollen bellies.

At this time, Professor Gellert Grindelwald stood up again:

"Now, I think everyone has eaten and drank enough, I also want to announce some precautions."

"First of all, for the new students, from the moment you step into Hogwarts, this castle will protect you like your home and accompany you as you grow. No matter when and where you are, Hogwarts Cidu will be your strongest shield."

"Of course, it is also necessary to abide by the disciplines of Hogwarts. Professor Kettleburn asked me to remind you again that students are prohibited from entering the Forbidden Forest on campus, otherwise they will be responsible for the consequences; in addition, the administrator Mr. Pringle hopes that I Let me tell you that this year, several more items are prohibited in the castle, namely"

After briefly introducing a few school rules, Professor Grindelwald turned his eyes to his side:

"In addition, please allow me to introduce our new transfiguration teacher this semester."

"Professor Severus Snape"

On the train, the wizard who had been with them for most of the journey quickly stood up and nodded to each of the four long tables.

Thunderous applause suddenly broke out, and everyone eagerly welcomed the new teacher of Hogwarts.

Matthew Wakefield stood there in a daze.

He was one of the few students who did not applaud.

What a joke

Severus Snape

You tell me, that man is Snape

Matthew shook his head in disbelief. He just wanted to take a sip of pumpkin juice to calm down.

How could it be Snape?

Unless Matthew Wakefield is blind

He had never seen any of Snape's signature features such as greasy black hair, big bat-like clothes, hollow eyes, and the iconic aquiline nose on the wizard on the train.

Is this my own problem?

Is it still a problem with this world?

Or is it this "Severus Snape" problem?
