Infinite Heroes Seat

Chapter 75: Opening Ceremony

   Hogwarts, the hall torch light flickers at the entrance; when students cross the marked stone floor to the second door on the right, footsteps echo in the hall, which leads to the main hall and the place where the opening ceremony is held.

   In the main hall, the four long tables are shining under the dark, starless black ceiling, and the scene is like the night sky they see through the high windows. Candles floated in the air along the long table, illuminating the silver ghosts scattered in the hall. The students were talking excitedly, exchanging news about the summer vacation, and greeted and commented loudly to friends from other colleges. One after another new hairstyles and new style robes. Once again, Harry noticed that people huddled their heads together and whispered as he passed by; he grinds his teeth and tried his best to act as if he neither paid attention nor minded.

Luna, who was riding with them, said goodbye to them at Ravenclaw’s long table. Harry still liked this new friend he met on the train. She did not worship like ordinary Ravenclaw girls. Guris, and their magazine seemed to agree with him, always claiming that Voldemort was back. And when they arrived at the long table in Gryffindor, Ginny was cheered and picked up by her fourth-grade classmates and sat among the classmates. It was the first time that Harry discovered that Ginny was very popular among girls. ; Harry, Ron, and Hermione found a seat in the middle of the table near Nick without a head. Headless Nick is the ghost of Gryffindor. There are also Lavender and Parvati. The former stopped his words when Harry came over, while the latter gave him a disdainful look, which made Harry very Make sure they just stopped talking about themselves.

   However, he had something more important to worry about: Harry looked over the heads of the students and searched for the teacher seat against the wall at the other end of the hall. He was looking for Dumbledore, what Guris said, he thought Dumbledore should give him an explanation.

The first thing Harry saw was Dumbledore. He was sitting on the high-backed golden chair in the middle of the long table. He was wearing a purple robe with silver stars dotted with silver stars and a matching hat. But I don't know if it was Harry's illusion, he seemed to see his hands shrink. Then he noticed that Dumbledore's head was tilted toward a woman sitting next to him, who was speaking into his ear. Harry thought she looked like a frog. She squatted on a chair, with short curly mouse-like chestnut hair, with a scary pink Alice bow on her hair to match her in the robe. Pink cardigan on the outside. Then she turned her face slightly and sucked the goblet in front of her. Harry was shocked by her appearance, a pale, frog-like face, plus a pair of prominently protruding, saggy eyes.

   "Ah! It's the woman from the Ministry of Magic!" Harry suddenly screamed.

   "What's wrong?" Ron asked.

"She participated in my hearing. She worked for Fudge!" Harry explained in a low voice. During the holiday he used magic to get rid of the dementor's attack. As a result, he was sent to the hearing by the Ministry of Magic. Was sent to Azkaban.

   "She works for Fudge!" Hermione repeated, frowning, "Then what the **** did she do here?" Although she doesn't have a cold toward Harry and the others, she doesn't have a good impression of the people at the Ministry of Magic.

"have no idea……"

   Hermione glanced at the staff seat again, her eyes became smaller.

   "No," she muttered to herself, "I shouldn't..."

   Harry didn't hear Hermione's words, because the Sorting Hat was already singing at this time.

   "I was very new in the old days, Hogwarts just opened, the founder of the noble school, although never separated:

   gather together for a common goal, they have exactly the same ideals..."

  The Sorting Hat’s song is very long, but Harry can still hear its meaning, to the effect that danger is coming and everyone should unite together.

Of course, Harry was not the only one who heard this. Many students started talking, and their eyes turned to Harry and Mo Wen. When he graduated last year, Dumbledore also announced the return of Voldemort, but everyone was immersed in ancient times. In the joy of Reese's victory, no one believed him, only that the principal was partial to Harry, but now the principal once again mentioned related things, plus some things did happen at the Ministry of Magic during the holiday, and some people began to be suspicious.

   Mo Wen didn't seem to notice this. Instead, he talked and laughed with Qiu Zhang on his own. He was busy with the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters during the holiday, and had never seen each other. He wanted a real girlfriend now.

"Ahem, okay," Dumbledore began to speak. "Now we have another grand banquet. I hope everyone will pay attention. We are now making a general opening announcement. This year, our teachers have something to do. Change. I am happy to introduce Ms. Umbridge, who will serve as our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."

   There was a polite but utterly lack of enthusiastic cheers in the hall. Harry, Ron, and Hermione lightly exchanged a bad look at this time. Now Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic have a bad relationship.

   Dumbledore continued: "The college Quidditch preliminaries will be held—"

   He stopped and looked at Professor Umbridge in confusion. This woman was not much taller than sitting. No one knew why Dumbledore stopped for a moment, but then Professor Umbridge cleared his throat and said, "Well, yeah," things became clear. It turned out that she was already Stand up to give a speech.

   Dumbledore just glanced back, then sat down coolly and looked at Professor Umbridge, as if he had seen something interesting. Other teachers could not hide their surprise. Professor Snape's eyebrows had been blocked by the bangs, and Professor McGonagall's mouth became the thinnest state Harry has ever seen. Never before had a new teacher interrupted Professor Dumbledore’s speech. Many students were giggling; the woman obviously didn't know what to do at Hogwarts.

   "Thank you, principal," Professor Umbridge said with a smirk, "Welcome to me."

Her voice was high-pitched again, rushed and girlish, and Harry couldn't explain it with a strong sense of disgust; all Harry knew was everything he hated her: from her stupid voice to her fluffy pink Blue cardigan. She coughed again and continued.

"Well, I must say that I am glad to be back at Hogwarts! I am eager to meet each of you, and I am sure we will be good friends! The Ministry of Magic has always believed in educating young people Wizards and witches are very important. The precious gifts that accompany your birth will be wiped out without careful education and knowledge... The principals of Hogwarts have brought something new to do this. The arduous management task of a school with a long history. That is a matter of course, because without progress, it will stagnate and rot. However, the interest in progress for progress must cease. Our tradition of striving and testing is often perfect. Then this is a new one. The balance between the old, the eternity and the change, the tradition and the innovation..."

   Umbridge’s speech was long and boring, and Harry gradually lost interest. The students put their heads together, whispered and laughed. At Ravenclaw's table, Qiu was chatting with friends enthusiastically. Several seats beside Qiu, Luna took out the magazine from her house. But then Harry was surprised to find that Guris was actually listening carefully, and then he was talking to someone behind him.

"That idiot Fudge really has to do it. Does he think he can level Dumbledore at Hogwarts? And the woman Umbridge was sent. She is of no use except that a mocking face can pull hatred. , Fukujii thinks that his prestige among the students is not low enough?” Mo Wen said to Xiao Sinick, there are a lot of pure blood in Ravenclaw, and Xiao Sinick is one of the family standing behind him. After school started, Mo Wen’s freedom was also affected by the descendants of Mo Wen, and he needed the help of these little guys.

Hinick nodded, "We didn't expect Fudge to really do anything at first. He is going to step down sooner or later. Now he is just letting him use his residual heat and find trouble with Dumbledore. After all, he prepared a year in advance. , Has a lot of advantages over Voldemort."

Unexpectedly, he looked at Dumbledore’s hands shrunk in his sleeves and muttered to himself: “It won’t be anymore soon, - but Umbridge is a good move, and now her overshoot will have more influence on Dumbledore. After the news of Voldemort comes out, everything she does will increase Dumbledore’s prestige and unite the students, which is very close to our goal~www.NovelMTL.com~Your Highness," Hesitatingly said: "You are inconvenient in school now, our plan—"

"It’s good to keep the status quo. Neither Dumbledore nor Voldemort completely trusted me. Dumbledore still has Snape’s mad dog. He is now listening to the intelligence of the two of us. Something is too outrageous for me. Can't do it, and Voldemort has never trusted anyone. Although I know he is planning to take the Prophecy Orb, he has not revealed the specific content at all."

   Mo Wen concluded: "So it's good to keep the status quo now. They are not unaware of our existence, but they just didn't pay attention to us, and we should not take the initiative to jump out."

Hinnick nodded and looked at Guris in admiration. He was also a student. He was also a year older than Guris, but he could never do the things the other party did. He actually combined Voldemort and Dumbledore at the same time. Playing with applause.

   "·······Improve those that need to be perfected, and modify those that we find in practice should be prohibited." Finally, Umbridge ended his speech. She sat down. Dumbledore began to applaud. All the teachers applauded along with Dumbledore, but Harry stopped when he saw a few of the teachers took a symbolic pat or two. A few students also clapped a few hands, but most of the students didn't notice the end of the speech, and didn't even hear a few words at all. When they reflected that they were about to applaud, Dumbledore had stood up again.

   "Thank you very much, Professor Umbridge, for the enlightening speech," Dumbledore said, bending over. "Listen to me now, the Quidditch preliminaries will be held..."
