A friendly day at Hogwarts

The decoration in the auditorium has been decorated for the new semester banquet.Countless candles were floating, and although there was wind and rain on the magic ceiling, and lightning flashed from time to time, it did not affect the candlelight in the slightest.

Glenn and Qiu said goodbye to the Harry trio and sat down at the Ravenclaw table.

As the newly appointed prefect, even though Glenn was not very willing, he still had to sit at the end of the long table with Qiu, preparing to welcome the new students who were about to join the college.

The World Cup final is a rare big event in recent years. Regardless of whether they were there or not, everyone is keen to discuss this topic.

In the teacher's chair in the middle of the auditorium, the seats for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class were empty, but sitting next to Dumbledore was a woman who should not have appeared at this time——

Dolores Umbridge.

Although it was the first time he met her, Glenn recognized her identity at a glance. After all, at her age, not many witches had the nerve to wear a fluffy pink cardigan with a big pink bow.

There is no doubt that - toad - is the most suitable word to describe her.

Because the weather was so bad, the little wizards who came to the castle by water were delayed a lot of time, and they were all shivering and embarrassed.

The only exception was Colin Creevey's brother Daniel. He fell into the lake and was very warm after being rescued by Hagrid and put on his moleskin coat.

The Sorting Hat's repertoire was successfully completed, and Professor McGonagall immediately began the sorting ceremony.

There were many new young faces at the Ravenclaw table. They sat next to Glenn and Qiu and listened carefully to their explanation of the precautions of Hogwarts.

As usual, Dumbledore announced the start of the banquet directly after the sorting ceremony.

"I've heard your name, Mr. Ollivander!"

When dinner appeared on the table, Ola Quirk, one of the new students assigned to Ravenclaw, said with admiration.

Glenn had to put down his knife and fork and give her a polite smile.

"I heard from my mother that you helped Mr. Lockhart capture Peter Pettigrew, and you also received the Order of Merlin, Third Class, right?"

Another freshman, Stuart Ackerley, echoed: "Yes, he is the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin in history, which is simply amazing!"

Glenn was overwhelmed by the continuous compliments and flattery, and had to keep a straight face and tell them to hurry up and eat.

When the little wizards finally calmed down, Qiu winked at him and whispered: "It seems that your star chasing club has a new group of members, right?"

Glenn rolled his eyes helplessly: "Please spare me. I don't want to be like Lockhart, followed by a group of chattering fans wherever I go."

"Look at that little girl, she's still peeking at you!" Qiu said with a smile, "That look in her eyes feels like pink bubbles are popping out!"

In this environment, although the dinner was very popular, Glenn ate unsteadily and had to stop from time to time to answer questions from the freshmen.

In fact, they just wanted to find an excuse to talk to him.

The main course on the table was replaced by dessert, everyone put down their knives and forks one after another, and the auditorium gradually became lively.

Dumbledore stood up, smiled and waved, and began to speak.

As usual, he first conveyed Filch's request and the rules prohibiting entry into the Forbidden Forest, and then got down to business.

"I have to regret to tell you that due to some special reasons, this year's Quidditch Cup has been cancelled."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

"That's impossible!" Roger exclaimed in disbelief.

Due to the departure of Glenn and Autumn last year, the Quidditch Cup, which had been controlled by Ravenclaw for several years, was snatched away by Gryffindor.Roger originally planned to invite the two of them back this year to regain their honor.

However, the news that Dumbledore had just announced made him feel like he was in an ice cellar.

When the auditorium became quieter, Dumbledore continued: "This is because a large-scale event will start in October and last throughout the school year, taking up a lot of teachers' time and energy - but I believe that you can all I had a lot of fun doing it. I'm very happy to announce that this year at Hogwarts—"

Before he could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly pierced the night sky, followed by loud thunder, and the door of the auditorium was opened with a bang.

Mad-Eye Moody appeared in the doorway on crutches, wearing a damp black traveling cloak.

As if not welcoming his arrival, the magic ceiling instantly became gloomier, and the lightning and thunder became more intense.

Moody glanced up, took off his hood, and drew his wand.

A golden light shot into the sky, and the ceiling suddenly calmed down.

Either shocked by this powerful magic, or startled by his ferocious appearance, the auditorium was in an uproar.

"Alastor!" Dumbledore greeted him with open arms, hugged Moody vigorously, and then led him to sit down at the teacher's desk.

"In that case," he returned to the podium, "we might as well get to know our new professor first - Alastor Moody!"

Moody nodded slightly, not caring that no one applauded in the auditorium and there was silence.

Dumbledore clapped his hands gently, then stopped knowingly and continued: "In addition, we are also pleased to introduce Professor Umbridge - the new senior investigator of Hogwarts..."

"Cough...cough..."

A high-pitched cough suddenly interrupted Dumbledore's introduction. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he stretched out his hand to signal Umbridge to start speaking.

Everyone else, including the professors, frowned.

This was the first person in years who had the guts to interrupt Dumbledore's speech.

"Thank you, Headmaster," said Professor Umbridge with a smirk, "for such a warm welcome."

Her voice was high, high-pitched, and breathy, like a little girl's, but there was an obvious hypocrisy in her tone.

"...Progress for the sake of progress should never be encouraged..."

“…to achieve a balance between old and new, between permanence and change, between tradition and innovation…”

"...Resolutely maintain what should be maintained, improve what needs to be improved, and abandon what we should prohibit..."

After a long speech, she returned to her seat contentedly, with a fake smile still on her face.

Obviously, Voldemort's arrangement for the World Cup final was effective.

Countermeasures - Dumbledore had to remind Fudge again to face the return of Voldemort, but this obviously aroused his rebellious psychology, which indirectly caused the Ministry of Magic to reach the pure land of Hogwarts a year earlier. ...
