Chapter 331 The Banquet Ends
‘It’s easy to use, but I’m afraid I’ll have to share the same reputation as Mr. Filch. ’
Andrew submitted the confinement list and began to jog to the table at his college.
It was all an agreed upon behavior in advance – so the tension wasn’t very high.
‘Don’t let something like this happen again next year, otherwise you’ll have to do it again. There weren't many problems with the students from those two colleges, so the arrangements were considered well-arranged. ’
Arresting senior students to solitary confinement at the beginning of school would cause resentment, but it would be another matter to discuss with their prefects that each grade should have a person responsible for the college.
Gryffindor's side was better, and the Slytherin students almost quarreled in low voices for this honor - this was taking the blame for the house!
'Never mind, after Dumbledore's introduction, you can eat in peace - although I ate a lot of snacks in the afternoon, such a performance is still a bit useless. ’
He had found his roommate's seat before, and now he squeezed in - even the junior students who were passing by were a little nervous when they saw him, but it was not a big problem, and everyone got along quickly.
After finding a seat and sitting down, Andrew finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I haven't seen you since I came back. Happy new semester."
He greeted his roommates in a low voice and turned his head to look at the staff table - if nothing else, Dumbledore was about to speak.
"You didn't crowd the staff table, Andrew."
Kevin muttered under his breath.
"Are you kidding, I'm just a student," Andrew said matter-of-factly, "Keep your voice down, Dumbledore is about to speak."
Yes, after Professor McGonagall returned and sat down, Dumbledore stood up and smiled at everyone with gentle eyes.
"Welcome!" Dumbledore's voice echoed throughout the audience, "Welcome to Hogwarts in the new school year. Today is a pleasant day. I have a few words to say to you."
< br>
He looked around at all the students, "It's nice to see new faces. We always have to develop. Whether it's new faces or new ideas, it's all good. Hogwarts needs these."
"Of course, new professors are also indispensable. I am equally happy to welcome two new professors to join us."
Dumbledore turned his attention to Professor Nina.
"The first is Professor Martin. She is a top graduate from Beauxbatons and a well-known adventurer."
Nina stood up with a somewhat serious expression - after watching Andrew perform there for a long time, she also stabilized her emotions.
"Beauxbatons?"
The roommates next to Andrew - no, even the students further away, looked at him collectively, as if they could dig out the new professor's foundation from him.
"Is it that magic school in France?"
"Yes, without a doubt."
This news can still help confirm, Andrew nodded.
Then, cheers rang out from the Ravenclaw table - the appearance of a professor from another school means that another style may change drastically. No one knows how much this means better than the students here in Ravenclaw. Knowledge can be learned.
Then the cheers and applause began to extend, making the applause sound quite shocking.
"As for the second professor we appointed," before Professor Nina could bear it, Dumbledore suppressed the applause and liberated the new professor, "Professor Kettleburn decided to re-appoint him for one year and take our new professor with him. Rubeus Hagrid comes to spend his internship year ”
There was thunderous applause - but Andrew guessed that it was mostly for the old professor. However, the Gryffindor side cheered extremely loudly. It was obvious that the main force welcoming Hagrid was there.
Hagrid's reaction was much louder, and he finally sat down with a red face - but Andrew noticed that Hagrid's clothes were quite formal. It was obvious that the old professor had begun to strictly regulate Hagrid.
'I hope the old professor can teach Hagrid to a qualified level - but this is very difficult, he himself is always in the school for inspection...'
Andrew shook his head silently, and Dumbledore had already begun his final speech. "That's all I have to say, so let's start eating!"
Rich food began to appear on the table - the banquet began.
——
"There are still important things to come up with."
Andrew raised his head after eating the last pudding, waiting for the possible after-dinner speech - but no, the food disappeared, the banquet was over, and the professors began to leave the table while talking and laughing.
He stood up, making the first years at the next table freeze in fear, but Andrew didn't stop and walked straight towards the Gryffindor table.
"Sorry, give me a moment."
He kept mumbling - Miss Granger and her two friends on the other side had already stood up decisively and walked towards the staff table.
There was no doubt that they were going to send blessings to Hagrid, and Andrew followed slowly behind - he also had to send a piece.
The three of them were faster than him, and when Andrew rushed over, Hagrid had already responded with his blessing.
"Congratulations, Professor Hagrid."
"Thank you very much, classmate Taylor."
Hagrid responded cheerfully - Professor Nina next to her seemed to want to say something, but hesitated for a moment and did not come over. After all, she and Hagrid were not very familiar with each other, and Hagrid was not the only stranger here. .
"The old professor recognized me," Hagrid tried his best to lower his voice, "He specially asked me to make this wizard robe."
Hagrid was very enthusiastic - but the three people next to him didn't know how to have a conversation.
Because Ron was on the list, he was arrested and sent to solitary confinement.
There was no way, one responsible person was appointed from each grade, but Harry couldn't do it. Harry was not in the car, and Miss Granger didn't perform well enough during the fight, so Ron had to take the blame.
Although I am happy to take the blame, everyone is always a little uncomfortable when facing people in solitary confinement. After all, no one can suddenly change their perspective on this matter.
Fortunately, Andrew is thick-skinned.
"Sorry, Granger, can we talk alone?"
He sent out an invitation - it was hard to explain clearly that he was called by the professor. After all, going to the professor's place in the middle of the night was really hard to explain.
Although I don’t know what Professor McGonagall is up to, Andrew is used to taking the blame.
'Um? ’
Professor Nina, who was lingering, seemed to have discovered some new world. Her eyes were wide open and her ears were perked, waiting to continue listening.
"Me?"
Hermione looked at Andrew, froze for a moment, and began to think hard about what school rules she had violated recently - after all, there was only one day to go back to school, so there weren't many violations.
'Didn't you trick Professor Lockhart into signing and borrowing restricted books at the end of last year? ’
She recalled this incident - it's hard to say, even though she returned it at the end of the semester, there are still traces...
If not that, what would it be?
"Okay," she thought frantically and decided to try to deny it.
