Chapter 198 The Opening Ceremony

Professor McGonagall led a long line of first-years to the top of the hall.

Lockhart put a three-legged stool on the ground in front of the new students like a dog, and placed a tattered, dirty, and patched wizard hat on the stool.

This was supposed to be Professor McGonagall's job.

The first-year students stared blankly at it.Others looked at it too.For a while, the auditorium was silent.Then a slit near the brim opened like a mouth, and suddenly the hat sang.

It was an upbeat and long song with simple lyrics, but it was still very interesting just listening to the content.

Some students said: The content of the Sorting Hat singing is different every time.

Because all the students have not heard any repeated songs in the seven years of school.

But Lockhart, who was sitting at the table with the teachers, changed his expression, as if he was remembering something, and then asked Mrs. Sprout in a low voice:
"Ma'am, should I have heard this song?"

Mrs. Sprout didn't answer Lockhart, just bobbed her head to the rhythm and hummed to the wizard hat.

Lockhart made fun of himself, and turned his attention to the middle of the group of students, hoping to find some people who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Harry or Ed.

"Then, the sorting ceremony for freshmen officially begins.

The student whose name I called came forward and sat on the stool. "

Professor McGonagall's voice sounded, and the entire auditorium gradually fell silent, leaving only the occasional laughter from the seniors when they saw the freshmen's nervous appearance.

Professor McGonagall held the parchment in one hand and the sorting hat in the other: "Mineba Orlando!"

About a century had passed, and when the sorting ceremony ended, even the sound of the Sorting Hat seemed weak.

Presumably he needs a vanilla lemon soda right now to save his throat.

Of course, if it has a throat.

Then it was time for the headmaster to speak. Dumbledore was very happy that LeMay was not here this year, so that he could continue to play unscrupulously.

"All I want to say is, 'Fool!cry!Scum!Twist!

Don't you guys look at me like that, I know you've heard it many times.So, I changed the word on purpose this year.

Although the meaning is the same. "

The students still looked at Dumbledore pitifully.

"Okay, okay, I know what you are thinking," Dumbledore smiled and pushed up the half-moon glasses that slipped on the tip of his nose, stood up and pointed at Lockhart:
"I introduce to you this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Gilderoy Lockhart!
Lockhart was also a student at Hogwarts, a good Gryffindor eagle, let us welcome him. "

The students present still gave Dumbledore a lot of face, and most of them applauded enthusiastically.

Lockhart happily stood up to meet the applause, then straightened his clothes and prepared to speak: "Well, I..."

But Dumbledore spoke first: "Okay, it seems that Professor Lockhart is very popular with you, so let's start."

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, the long table was instantly filled with exquisite food. The students cheered and began to eat.

"Ed, look at Lockhart still standing there."

Draco was very relieved to see Lockhart sitting down awkwardly.He dared to ignore the young master of the Malfoy family, with such lack of vision, he deserved to be left out.

"Eat quickly, don't talk, I'm starving."

Ed didn't bother to pay attention to Lockhart. Nanwan had already told Ed that Lockhart actually didn't have any skills.

So, he has already started planning how to skip class.

Maybe you can ask Ron's two older brothers. With their experience, Ed can definitely avoid some detours.

As for why Nan Wan knew it, one has to explain why Fox knew it. After that, there will be Russian matryoshka dolls, and there will be endless descendants.

Of course, even if Nan Wan didn't remind him, Ed wouldn't think that Lockhart would really be an adventurer.

The reason is: his physique is a bit poor, and he also likes to be delicate.

If it is really like in his story, wandering with werewolves and spending a year with the Tibetan snowman, will there be such problems?

He probably has a taste of life at most, two or three days, and then the following plots are all made up.

"Draco, don't you hate him, watch less if you hate him, and be careful that hate breeds love."

"Ed, what are you talking about!"

Draco stopped looking at Lockhart, and instead focused on killing the drumsticks on his plate.

On the other side, Elizabeth ignored Draco and Ed, she was studying dumplings.

Cut it in the middle with a knife, then scoop out the stuffing inside with a spoon and put it in your mouth.

The dumplings made by the house elves at the school taste pretty good. After the taste spread in Elizabeth's mouth, Elizabeth's eyes lit up.

Quickly scoop out the other half of the dumpling stuffing and feed it into his mouth.The other hand didn't forget to use a fork to fork another dumpling and put it on the plate.

"Ed, Ed! This is delicious! Come and taste it."

"Eh..."

Ed saw Elizabeth's unique way of eating, and forgot to chew what was in his mouth.

Teaching Elizabeth to eat dumplings is not only about eating the dumpling wrappers, but also dipping them in sauce.Ed looked at the plate of dumplings strangely.

How did these house elves get the idea to make dumplings?He remembered that he didn't remind the house elf to make Chinese food just for him.

In the Hogwarts kitchen, Tory patted the flour on his hands, very happy to help other house-elves.

Today is also the opening day of the Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Magic. A group of young wizards shivered into the auditorium wrapped in thick coats.

"Ahem, freshmen please come and sit here." Lina Cecil directed the freshmen to sit down.

This gentle young lady, beautiful face, and friendly voice make these new students feel like spring breeze.

"Sister, you look so good-looking." Some bold students shouted at Lena Cecil.

"No, I'm not..."

"Sister, what isn't it?" A group of children stared at Lena Cecil with round eyes.

Linna was called senior sister by the freshman, which was a little embarrassing.

Not only the freshmen noticed this senior, but the older students also listened with pricked ears.

"Hurry up and sit down for me!"

Standing at the desk where the teachers sat, Voldeka Kamo shouted to the students below:
"Freshmen, I am your principal V...Igor Karkaroff!

Welcome to Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I am very glad that you, as pure blood, have chosen this school that can make students a real wizard.

Rather than the decadent school located in England.Hahaha. "

Voldemort smiled awkwardly here, "Ha-ha~ha..."

But no one laughed along with him, and Voldemort was furious. These people don't even have a sense of humor!

His face turned cold: "Okay! From now on, your new teacher, Lena Cecil, will become the principal's secretary and handle school chores on my behalf!
The opening ceremony is over, let's eat. "

Voldemort walked away, leaving the students looking at each other in blank dismay.

Returning to the office, Voldemort smashed the hat on his head and cursed: "Damn! Damn sense of humor! Damn Adlermay! Damn Harry Potter!"
