Parents of Hogwarts

“That’s great, Karan.”

Steve Scamander stood up and squeezed out a seat, shouting excitedly to Karan: "It's great that we are indeed assigned to the same college."

After Karan sat down, he turned to look at Snape and Lily respectively. Lily pouted sadly, while Snape looked at him with complicated eyes. He didn't expect Karan to be separated. To Hufflepuff, whom he calls "the loser."

At the same time, Callan also noticed that Dumbledore smiled and nodded to him, while Mels looked at him unwillingly.

While the two were looking at each other, Karan quickly rolled his eyes at Mels, otherwise he would miss the opportunity.

At this time, Steve approached Karan and asked him: "Why did it take you so long just now?"

The nearby Hufflepuff students also looked over curiously. Callan spent much more time in sorting than other students. He is an extremely rare student with sorting difficulties, which only occurs once every 50 years or so.

In fact, Peter Pettigrew also became a difficult student in Sorting, but judging from his shrinking performance, he did not look like that kind of genius wizard.But Karan was different. Not only did it take much longer than Peter, but his performance was also calmer.

"The Sorting Hat said I was too good and it was hard to decide," Karan said half-truthfully, "So I finally mentioned that I wanted to go to Hufflepuff, so it took me so long to decide."

"Well done" Steve praised.

The other Hufflepuff students who heard these words were a little moved, especially the senior students. After all, it is so rare for students to actively choose to enter Hufflepuff.

"Wise choice, Hufflepuff is an absolutely underestimated house," the fat ghost monk of Hufflepuff smiled gently at Karan: "After all, badgers are not animals to be trifled with."

After the commotion, Headmaster Albus Dumbledore stood up. He looked at the students with a smile on his face and stretched out his arms to them. Nothing seemed to make him happier than seeing the students gathered together.

"Welcome," he said. "Welcome to Hogwarts to start a new school year. Before the banquet begins, I just want to say: Eat."

The briefness of Dumbledore's speech received unanimous applause from all the students, and at the same time, a large amount of delicious food appeared on the tables of various houses.

Karan picked up a piece of steak and put it on his plate. At the same time, he glanced in the direction of the Slytherin table. He just heard a lot of familiar names and surnames, including many that he still didn't know. of senior students.It is estimated that if a glass of water is thrown over, several future second-generation Death Eaters will be splashed.

It is indeed a talented Slytherin, this lineup is almost catching up with Azkaban.

Gryffindor is even more interesting. Many members of the Order of the Phoenix are still growing up. The Longbottoms, the Bones family, and the MacKinnon family should also be studying in Gryffindor.

There is an undercurrent in the magical world outside, but Hogwarts seems to be far from peaceful.Especially under Voldemort's instigation, when there are differences in ideas, students will also have various struggles.

Karan sighed softly. The young wizard was not only worried about the future of the wizarding world, he even felt sorry for the teachers at Hogwarts.

"It would be great if we could be assigned to the same dormitory." At this time, Steve's mouth was full of food, and he said vaguely to Karan: "I heard my dad talk about Hufflepuff's common rest room. The room is the most comfortable among all the students, and the dormitory is probably not far behind."

"It's not just that." At this time, a little boy on Karan's right suddenly said something. He was wearing a pair of round-rimmed glasses and looked a little strict: "I also heard that the Hufflepuff basement It is very close to the school kitchen, and the house elves there are always very friendly to Hufflepuff students, almost responsive to their requests. This should be related to the fact that Ms. Hufflepuff took them in."

After seeing Steve and Karan looking at him, the little boy stretched out his hand and said, "Guspard Singleton, an inventor."

"I know you," Steve said in surprise as he held his hand: "Your parents have been to my house as guests, and I heard them talking about you. I thought you would enter Ravenclaw."

Karan gave Steve a strange look. Of course he knew who this man was, the future inventor of the automatic stirring crucible.

"I don't think Ravenclaw is suitable for me." Gaspard still looked a little strict: "They sometimes seem arrogant and arrogant, which is not the academy I like."

"You are talking about your parents." Steve laughed twice: "They always criticize my father's wrong way of raising magical animals when eating. They always feel that their ideas are the most correct."

"That's why I don't like Ravenclaw." Apparently, Gespard was also dissatisfied with his parents: "They always act too self-centered."

"You said you were an inventor." Karan took the time to ask Gaspard: "Then have you invented anything?"

The corners of Gespard's mouth twitched, and after a while he reluctantly added: "Future inventor."

Karan and Steve looked at each other strangely. It was really not like they were assigned to the wrong college.

In the end, it was Karan who took the initiative to come to the rescue and said: "It sounds good, at least there is still a lot of room for improvement."

Gaspard looked at Karan strangely, as if he couldn't tell whether this was a mockery of him.

Fortunately, a little girl sitting next to me asked curiously: "Are there really more than 100 house elves in the kitchen of Hogwarts?"

Seeing a few people looking over, she blushed a little and said, "My name is Greta Kachlov."

"I know you." Steve was surprised again: "Your parents have also been to my house as guests, and the food they cooked is really delicious."

Karan looked at Steve with an increasingly weird look. He also knew who this little girl was, the future author of enchanting your cheese.

Gaspard replied calmly: "I heard that there are even more, maybe more than 200, I don't know. After all, Hogwarts is still very big. If the number is too small, it may not be able to be busy. "

Karan noticed that these people all had a matter-of-fact tone when discussing the house elves. This made him a little lucky that Lily was not here, otherwise she would most likely continue to ask questions and then complain about the house elves. In terms of unfair treatment, after all, in her impression, Hogwarts should be a sacred place, not a slave farm.

Finally, all the desserts disappeared, Professor Dumbledore stood up again, and the auditorium became silent again.

"Okay, now that everyone is full, I want to say a few more words to you. At the beginning of the new semester, I want to put forward a few things to pay attention to."

"Attention first-year students, no students are allowed to enter the forested area on the school grounds. Old students of other grades should also remember this."

Dumbledore's shining eyes swept around, almost looking around all the houses. It was obvious that the students of Hogwarts today were very naughty.

"Furthermore, the administrator, Mr. Fitch, also asked me to remind everyone once again not to cast magic in the corridors during class breaks."

This time, Dumbledore mainly looked in two directions: Slytherin and Gryffindor.

"The review of Quidditch players will be carried out in the second week of this semester. Students who are interested in joining the college team please contact Ms. Huo Qi."

"Finally, I'm delighted to welcome a new teacher to our line-up this term, Professor Dorcas Meadows of Defense Against the Dark Arts"

All of a sudden, the entire auditorium cheered, especially all the male students. They almost shouted to the ceiling. Karan felt that the soles of his feet could not help but tremble.

As for why Meadows is so young, no one has cared about it for a long time. Anyway, she has only been teaching for one year at most, but she is good-looking.

Meadows stood up politely, bowed slightly, and glanced in Karan's direction intentionally or unintentionally.

Karan didn't applaud, and Steve just clapped his hands a few times, and kept muttering: "You will know how scary she is when you go to class."

It can be seen that Dumbledore had long expected that this would happen, so he left Meadows' appointment to last.

"Now, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together," Dumbledore said loudly.

Callan's face froze, just like the other teachers. He didn't expect Dumbledore to be in such a good mood today.

Dumbledore flicked his wand, and a long golden ribbon floated out of the wand, twisting like a snake high above the dining table to form lines of text.

"Everyone chooses the tune he likes." Dumbledore said, "Get ready and sing."

Then all the teachers and students immediately sang loudly with the tunes they chose.

......

We will study hard until it turns into dung.

Everyone finished singing the school song in a flurry, and Karan's toes almost scratched the ground in embarrassment. It was so unpleasant to listen to.

"Music," Dumbledore seemed a little moved. He wiped his eyes and said, "It's more charming than anything we do here. It's bedtime now. Let's go back to the dormitory."
