A friendly day at Hogwarts

The dinner was as sumptuous as ever, and the house elves' craftsmanship remained at the same level, with attractive colors and fragrant aromas.

Roger looked lost and looked at Pansy's back from a distance, feeling confused.

After everyone had eaten and drank, the remaining food disappeared on the table with a swipe, and the plates became as smooth as before, and then various desserts appeared.

The wizards on both sides of the long table ate pudding and ice cream and started chatting.

The new little wizards gathered near Penelope and Robert Hilliard to listen to their stories about the castle and the academy.

Just like in the book, the two of them became this year's prefects and wore blue badges with the letter "P" on their chests.

Ms. Gray sat quietly aside, watching the freshmen who were slightly lost in thought, not knowing what they were thinking of writing.

The freshmen were in groups, chatting enthusiastically, and seemed to be very interested in each other's families.

"That's right, Anthony!"

A freshman named Michael Corner put down the fork in his hand and said to the little wizard next to him.

"I remember that "Important Magical Events of the Twentieth Century" mentioned an American witch named Porpontina Goldstein. She is also from your family, right?"

"Yes, but we can only be regarded as distant relatives, and I have only met her twice. I heard from my father that she is a very powerful witch. It is said that she even fought head-on with Grindelwald!"

The boy he called Anthony replied.

The two wanted to chat a few more words, but the desserts on the table disappeared at this moment, and Dumbledore stood up with a smile again.

"Oh, now that everyone has eaten and drank enough, I want to say a few more words to you. Before the semester begins, there are a few things to pay attention to."

"First-year students, please note that all forests on campus are prohibited to students. Of course, some of our senior classmates should also remember this." His wise eyes looked through the half-moon lenses and looked at the faces of the Weasley brothers. Sweep.

"In addition, the administrator, Mr. Filch No. 60, asked me five times to remind everyone not to cast magic in the corridor during class breaks."

"The vetting of Quidditch players will be held in the second week of the term. Anyone interested in participating in the academy team should contact Mrs. Hooch."

I don't know if the word "Quidditch" triggered a certain mechanism in Roger. His ears twitched slightly and he barely recovered.

He blinked and gave Dumbledore a blank look.

"Finally, I have to tell everyone that those who don't want to suffer an accident or a painful death, please don't enter the corridor on the right on the fourth floor."

Harry's lonely and heartless laughter could be heard not far away, and Glenn couldn't help pinching his eyebrows and sighing.

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

Glenn, who thought the dinner was over, was startled, and his expression froze for a moment. He completely forgot that there would be this scene at the opening ceremony of this year.

The school song is not a regular routine and only occasionally appears at the opening dinner.

The young wizards in many grades have never experienced this program and are looking at each other in confusion.

Dumbledore pulled out his wand and flicked his wrist.

A long golden ribbon appeared out of thin air, spinning, overlapping, and twisting in the air to form the lyrics of the school song.

"Everyone chooses the tune he likes." He said with a smile, "Get ready and sing!"

The little wizards and the entire faculty spoke out at the same time, singing the lyrics to their own different tunes.

The auditorium suddenly became noisy, like a crowded market moment.

.

Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts,

Please teach us knowledge,

...

.

Glenn, desperate, pretended to open his mouth and endure the noise coming from Eddie and Marcos nearby.

Both of them are tone-deaf, but they are good at singing and love to sing. Their out-of-tune singing sounds are like magical sounds that penetrate their ears.

His eyes wandered around and he noticed Professor Snape on the staff bench.

The Half-Blood Prince's lips moved and his expression twisted, as if he was resisting this process.

.

...

You just do your best and leave the rest to us,

We will study hard until it turns into dung.

.

Everyone finished singing one after another.

Glenn resisted the urge to roll his eyes as the Weasley twins continued to sing along to the melody of the funeral march.

Dumbledore directed them with his wand with relish.Until they finished singing, they took the lead in applauding.

"Music! More charming than anything we do here!"

He pretended to wipe away the non-existent tears.

"Now it's time to go back to bed. Let's go back to the dormitories."

The sound of benches scraping against the ground was heard, and the little wizards stood up one after another.

Penello and Robert stood at the end of the long table, calling the freshmen to gather around them.

Glenn and the others greeted Penello, then crossed the crowd and walked to the Ravenclaw Tower first.

After riding the train for most of the day, they were all a little tired and began to miss the soft four-poster bed in the dormitory.

Peeves was too busy embarrassing the new Gryffindors to bother them.

They climbed the tower without a hitch and answered the question of the door knocker.

Perhaps because he was worried that he would be stumped by the knocker like last year, Roger followed them all the way back to the common room.

"That's right, Roger."

Before they returned to their dormitories, Glenn suddenly stopped Roger.

"If I remember correctly, has Aigwu graduated?"

Roger still looked a little absent-minded and didn't want to drag him into chatting about Quidditch as usual, so he just nodded.

"Then who is the captain of the college team now?" Glenn asked

"team leader..."

Roger was stunned for a moment and took out the team's captain's badge from his pocket.

According to the original plan, he planned to show off.

Unexpectedly, because of the appearance of the girl with short hair, he just forgot about it and didn't think about it until now.

"So, you are already the real 'Captain Roger'?"

"So be it." He replied absently.

Glenn could naturally guess why he was in this state, but he couldn't think of any good solution for the moment.

After all, he didn't expect Pansy Parkinson to look like this.

"By the way," he tried to divert Roger's attention elsewhere, "there should be many people on the college team who have graduated, right?"

Roger thought for a moment and nodded.

"Qiu and I both plan to participate in this year's selection." Glenn winked at him and said.

"okay."

Captain Roger barely reacted, just nodded in response.

Glenn pinched his eyebrows, looking helpless.

Unexpectedly, Matilda's sudden glimpse would actually leave such an important place in his heart.
