A day at Hogwarts

The annual banquet for the opening of the new school year has begun, but this year the atmosphere is not as lively as in previous years, the conversation is much quieter, and many people look at Simo.

Harry and Hermione were called away by Professor McGonagall. Ron said to Charles with lingering fear: "It was too scary at the time. Harry had fainted. The dementor was about to kiss Harry. If Seamus hadn't been there, , the dementors are going to suck his soul away."

On Charles' other side, Seamus looked a little torn.

He saw Charles looking at him and asked nervously: "Charles, will the Ministry of Magic make me lose money?"

Charles thought for a moment, patted him on the shoulder, and said firmly: "They don't dare."

Today, the Harry trio were in the same carriage as Seamus and Neville. Everyone was eating snacks and chatting. The train stopped, all the lights went out, and the dementors appeared.

The train seemed to have entered the cold winter. Everyone on the train was exposed to the wind and snow, and the cold penetrated into the bones.

The dementors inspecting the train opened every carriage door, and screams arose one after another.

Harry had already fainted on the ground when the Dementor opened the carriage. He came in and lifted Harry's shoulders, stretching his face closer and closer.

At this moment, Seamus took action. He and Charles had learned the Patronus Charm.

After the white light passed, Harry continued to faint, and a big hole appeared in the train carriage. It was as if the dementors had never appeared.

Under this situation, if the Ministry of Magic dared to seek compensation from Seamus, Dumbledore would probably whip Fudge into a spinning top.

The sorting ceremony began, hosted by Professor Flitwick.

Nearly headless Nick came over and proudly told the old students that with the cooperation of several ghosts, the new students thought they were going to fight a dementor.

At the end of the sorting ceremony, Harry and Hermione came to the cafeteria. At this time, the classmates were discussing the unfamiliar faces on the professor's desk.

Neville said to Charles: "The short new professor seems to have been looking at you."

Dean Thomas also nodded and said, "Yeah, he looks at you a little scary, just like Professor Snape looks at Harry."

Charles said: "That is Professor Delacour from the alchemy class, from France."

"So that's how it is!" Hermione looked like she suddenly understood, "That's not surprising."

Simo saw the Fleur family in the hospital when he was in Ouagadu, but he didn't pay much attention, so he said: "No wonder I think he looks familiar. But didn't you save Miss Delacour? Why does he seem to hate you." "

"I know!" Hermione seemed to be answering in class.

Charles coughed twice and looked at Hermione with an unkind expression. Hermione immediately stopped speaking.

Seamus saw that there was a story and said to Hermione: "We can go to Hogsmeade this semester. There are a lot of snacks for sale there. Someone gave me five galleons during the holiday. What snacks do you want to eat?"

Others expressed their willingness to treat Hermione to dessert. Harry looked a little dazed, so he took out the half-eaten chocolate in the principal's office and broke off a piece of chocolate that he had never eaten before giving it to Hermione.

Fortunately, Dumbledore began to speak at this time.

The principal first told about dementors stationed and patrolling around the school, which caused the students to wail.

Dumbledore came to see Charles when he was making dumplings in the kitchen today, because he often went to the Forbidden Forest to find centaurs and needed to pass the dementor level. It was one thing to have a good relationship in private, but he had to go through the process when he was free another day. A familiar face.

Then Dumbledore told the students that the greenhouse at the end of the greenhouse area was going to be conducting very important experiments this year and it was forbidden to approach it without permission.

Charles suddenly felt a lot of pressure, which was probably related to the fact that Hogwarts messed up during the Decryption Challenge and needed to restore its reputation elsewhere.

Finally, Dumbledore introduced to the students three newcomers: Professor Remus Lupin in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Professor Rubeus Hagrid in the Care of Magical Creatures class, and Professor Henry Delacour in the Alchemy class.

Students had mixed reactions.

Everyone was somewhat interested in the professor from France, and Hermione had obviously heard a lot about him from Fleur.

"I heard from Miss Delacour that Professor Delacour graduated from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Hermione told the students next to her what she knew. "After graduation, he sold his works in Saint-Etienne. .”

At this time, the Indian girl Parvati Patil asked her: "Where is Saint-Etienne?"

Hermione replied: "Saint-Etienne is in the south of France. There is a street dedicated to selling magic items, as well as manufacturers of wands and broomsticks. I went there once during the summer vacation and walked through a tree like Platform 9. You can see the trees.”

After answering the question, she continued: "Professor Delacour's works sold there were appreciated by the owner of a broomstick company there, and he was hired to work in the company."

"Three years later, a dark wizard committed a very serious crime. He installed a very complex magic gas bomb in a place like Diagon Alley near Paris, claiming to kill the wizards there."

"At that time, the Aurors were unable to defuse the gas bomb, so they asked Nico Flamel. Mr. Flamel asked the Aurors to find Professor Delacour."

"Later, Professor Delacour spent some time cracking the bomb and resolving the crisis. Not long after, he went to the French Ministry of Magic to work on cracking spells and magical items."

The students around him were astonished. They didn't expect that the professor who seemed so easy-going would have had such an experience.

Many people learned some knowledge about alchemy during the summer vacation, and Nico Flamel was unavoidable among them. The people who could be recommended by him were definitely not ordinary people.

Charles heard Mrs. Angelina mention something about cracking a gas bomb once. What he usually heard more about was that he often tinkered with gadgets at home and made some small toys for Gabrielle.

Immediately, a fourth-grade boy asked Hermione curiously: "Is the Miss Delacour you just mentioned the daughter of Professor Delacour? Is she beautiful?"

Hermione smiled evilly and replied: "Ask Smith. I saw him taking Miss Delacour with him when I was in France... Hehe..."

People around you understand instantly.

Seamus continued to break the news: "You have all forgotten that Charles rescued Miss Delacour from the mouth of the poisonous leopard when he was in Wagadu. On Valentine's Day this year, an owl came from France."

Now everyone knows what's going on.

"That's right!" Harry had come to his senses, "Charles, didn't you say you went to Marseille, France during the summer vacation?"

The flames of gossip quickly spread across the Gryffindor table. Even second-year students like Ginny and Colin cast curious glances, and the cute first-year students also turned their heads.

Charles didn't bother to pay attention to them and just ate his own dinner.
