Hogwarts' Wizarding Throne

In the magnificent hall, although the magic sky above was thundering and lightning, the thousands of floating candles still made the hall sparkle. The excited students sat at the long table, so energetic.

This vivid opening dinner scene is never boring even if you watch it many times.

Shaw sat down at the Slytherin long table, put the cage containing Peeves on the table, and transformed a tableware into a bird stand. After putting the purple shadow on it, he had time to observe.

He immediately saw a group of pearly white ghosts floating out of the hall. This is a Hogwarts routine to scare the freshmen.

Shaw didn't care so much and chased out under everyone's surprised eyes.

But after a while, he came back disappointed.

He did see Ms. Grey at the door just now, but she just popped up symbolically, scared the freshmen and then floated away.

Shaw wanted to chase, but was immediately stopped by Barrow, who was so angry that Shaw almost cursed that he licked the dog but couldn't get the mouse.

After sitting down at the long table and calming down, he heard the professors behind him smiling happily.

He turned his head to look.

In the teacher's seat, Lockhart behaved well and chatted with professors such as Flitwick and Sprout.

Even the mysterious and no one cared about the divination professor Trelawney, was carefully taken care of by Lockhart.

He also gave everyone a small gift that was suitable but not expensive, and easily integrated into the professor group.

Of course, Snape was still unmoved. He looked at Lockhart with a scrutinizing eye for several times, and then turned his head to stare at Gryffindor.

And today, Lockhart did not wear eye-catching clothes like hot gold, but wore a slim black wizard robe with purple and gold patterns.

This made Shaw stunned, and he looked down at the green school uniform with silver edges that he had changed on the train.

It was a close call, we almost wore the same clothes!

No! Lockhart didn't do it on purpose, did he?

Shaw touched his nose and thought about the other party's intention.

Before, he asked someone to investigate Lockhart, but didn't find much. He was always out collecting writing materials and his whereabouts were uncertain.

No matter what, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is a source of danger every year and a target to be watched.

At this time, Professor McGonagall walked in with the embarrassed first-year students to prepare for the sorting ceremony.

Shaw glanced at them. This year, apart from Ginny Weasley, only Luna, who was always in a trance, was worth paying attention to.

Shaw turned around and started talking to Peeves.

"Peeves, I heard that you are very popular in Hogwarts."

Peeves is actually a very clever ghost. He is selective in bullying people. He never provokes powerful and authoritative professors. Of course, if he gets angry, that's another story.

It was trapped in the water dungeon because it didn't want to be electrocuted. If it was really reckless, Shaw would definitely not be able to trap it.

Seeing Shaw's friendly voice, Peeves' eyes rolled around and he said arrogantly.

"Of course, in this castle, who dares not to give me face? I also know a lot of secrets. How about this, you let me go, and I'll tell you a scandal about Dumbledore."

Shaw smiled, another person who only remembers food and not beatings.

"Forget the secrets, how about we make a deal?"

"Yeah? Big Devil, tell me."

Shaw took out a communication card and handed it to Peeves.

"It's like this, since you are a wild man, why don't you help me find Ms. Grey. This is a communication card. If you know the whereabouts of Ms. Grey, send me a message."

Peeves can touch real objects and even has a trace of magic power, which is also its special feature.

It took the poker card and looked at it over and over curiously, but cunningly did not agree immediately.

"Ms. Grey, she is used to being alone. She usually refuses to attend the ghosts' meetings. I am angry when I talk about this. I want to attend the ghost meeting but those bad guys collectively resist. I am also an old veteran. In this castle, besides Grey, only Barrow is older than me. Humph, if I am not allowed to attend, I will make trouble..."

Shor stroked his forehead and had to interrupt Peeves who was talking to himself.

"Ahem, let's get to the point!"

Peeves pouted.

"Ms. Grey is not easy to find, and Barrow is always protecting her. It's not easy!"

Shor directly gave the chips.

"You know, I have a set of rewards and punishments. If you help me do this, the little wizards who make mistakes in the future will have their wands confiscated and locked in the same room with you. I will also provide you with some prank props."

Peeves' eyes widened.

This idea is simply genius!

Peeves is a little depressed due to the school's atmosphere. He has fewer and fewer ideas for pranks and is always warned by professors passing by.

But now he can actually play pranks on orders, and also provide equipment.

How can it not be excited.

"I'll do it, I'll do it, I promise to find Ms. Grey for you."

Shaw also came up with this idea temporarily. The punishment of a large number of questions alone is really not a deterrent for some top students.

Now there is one more means.

Shaw waved his hand and released Peeves.

"Happy cooperation."

"Yo Yo, I can play pranks openly in the future! Little wizards, your nightmare is coming!"

This guy was very excited, and ran to work in a flash.

This scene attracted the attention of many people, and even the sorting ceremony was interrupted.

Professor McGonagall looked at Shaw seriously and continued to read the names of the new students.

"Luna Lovegood."

Shaw touched his nose embarrassedly, and saw a little witch with dark blonde hair dressed in a weird way among the few new students.

A pair of carrot earrings swayed and was particularly eye-catching.

After Luna sat on the triangular stool, she wanted to touch the sorting hat on her head out of curiosity, but the sorting hat quickly sorted her into a house.

"Ravenclaw!"

Luna still felt a little sorry, but she jumped and ran towards the Ravenclaw table again as if no one was there.

This kind of maverick style is rare even in Ravenclaw, and no one stood up to greet her for a while.

Fortunately, there was a kind-hearted Hermione in Ravenclaw. When she saw that Luna didn't know where to sit, she quickly stood up and pulled this strange schoolmate over.

Ginny was also sorted into Gryffindor after that, without any accidents.

Dumbledore watched all this kindly, of course his main attention was on the first place in Slytherin, and he also observed the new professor distractedly.

After the sorting ceremony, he stood up and began to speak.

"A new year has begun. I hope your little brains can learn more useful knowledge in the new semester.

It's the same old story. You are not allowed to go to the Forbidden Forest without permission,..., and you are not allowed to stay in the corridor...

And this year's fourth floor is still a restricted area. If you don't want to die too painfully, don't be curious.

Here, I solemnly introduce this year's new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, the famous adventurer Professor Gilderoy Lockhart."

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he extended his hand to invite Lockhart to speak a few words.

Among the little wizards, most of the little witches immediately cheered excitedly, including Hermione.
