Retirement from Hogwarts

Dumbledore looked at the students talking below and stopped helplessly. After they had enough discussion, he said again: "I know you are very uneasy about this matter, but this is an administrative order from the Ministry of Magic. The school We can only abide by it.”

"They are stationed at all entrances to the school grounds," continued Dumbledore. "During their stay here, I must make it clear that no one is allowed to leave the school without permission. Dementors will not be harmed. Magical sleight-of-hand or disguised deception—not even invisibility cloaks or disembodiment spells."

Dumbledore paused when he said this, and his eyes glanced at the Weasley brothers and many Night King who had signed up with him. "Dementors are not born to understand requests or excuses. So I warn each of you - don't give them any excuse to hurt you. I hope that the prefects, as well as our new Head Boy and Girl President of the Student Union, and the newly appointed chiefs, you must ensure that no student will conflict with the dementors."

Dumbledore said and stopped again.He looked around the auditorium seriously. No one moved or made a sound.Then, he changed into a happy voice: "What is more gratifying is that this year, I am very happy to welcome two new teachers to join our team. The first is Professor Lupine, who generously agreed to make up for the black magic There is a vacancy in the defense course.”

As Dumbledore finished speaking, Lupine stood up from his seat and bowed to everyone.Then some sporadic, less enthusiastic applause rang out in the auditorium.

"How is this professor's magic level?" Hermione asked Jack in a low voice while everyone was applauding.

"The level of magic is very good, but I don't know how good his teaching is." Jack said as he shared Lupin's magic of splitting the Patronus with Hermione.

"Look Snape!" Hermione whispered to Jack.

Snape, the Potions teacher, stared at Professor Lupin along the long desk of the teacher.Everyone knew that Professor Snape had always wanted to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, but even Harry, who hated Snape, was surprised by the twisted expression on Snape's thin, sallow face.That expression was more than annoyance, it was hatred.

"Where did Snape and Professor Lupin come from such a big feud?" Hermione asked in confusion, looking at Snape's expression.

"There's a big feud between them." Jack said quietly. "The original Lupine was a very good friend of Harry's father. And one of their greatest pleasures was to mistreat the original Snape."

"No wonder he hates Harry so much." Hermione couldn't help but widen her eyes after hearing Jack's words. It was obvious that the grudges and hatreds involved made her very shocked.

"As for the second teacher we appointed," after the less than enthusiastic applause for Professor Lupine died down.Dumbledore continued, "Well, I regret to tell you that our Care of Magical Creatures teacher, Professor Kettleburn, retired at the end of last year to spend more time with his remaining rascals. However, I am pleased to say that his vacancy has been filled by none other than Rubeus Hagrid, who has agreed to serve as a teacher in addition to his role as gamekeeper."

"I knew it." Jack looked at Hagrid who bowed to everyone and couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead and said through gritted teeth. "Who else but him could imagine us buying a book that bites people."

"But that's not bad, isn't it? Hagrid has been a gamekeeper for so many years, he must have a way of dealing with those magical creatures." Hermione looked at Jack's childish tantrum and couldn't help but chuckle, and continued

He said comfortingly.

"I hope so." Jack said noncommittally after remembering the unreliable teaching methods of Hagrid, the deceitful Magical Creatures teacher. "I won't be taking this class again next semester anyway."

"Are you sure?" Hermione couldn't help but look at him in surprise after hearing his words. "Aren't you planning to become an interstellar adventurer after graduation? This course is one of the top recommended courses in the Adventurer's Guide."

"Recommended courses also depend on the teacher. Although we are familiar with Hagrid, I don't think he will be a good teacher." Jack shrugged at Hermione as he spoke.Although Jack said this, he still clapped along with everyone when Hagrid stood up and bowed.

"Well, I think the important thing has been said," Dumbledore said when their applause stopped. "Now let me say two more words - eat."

"How is Harry?" After dinner, they asked Neville, who was already waiting there, in front of the trophy exhibition room on the second floor.

"Madam Pomfrey said he had consumed too much magic power and needed bed rest," Neville said to them.

"As long as there are no other side effects." Jack couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief after hearing Neville's words. After all, Harry was brought out by himself. What if something really happened to him, the only child of a weird killer family? alright. "But since Madam Pomfrey said he needs to rest, we won't bother him tonight. I hope he doesn't miss class tomorrow morning."

After separating from Neville, when they returned to the trestle connecting Ravenclaw Castle, the session to introduce the Ravenclaw traditions to the new students had ended. There were only two or three students on the platform who had returned late and were thinking in distress. The problem with the trestle.After explaining the use of the trestle to Brünnhilde, looking at those people who felt really pitiful, Jack kindly helped them answer their questions with their gratitude.

The girls and boys, who had successfully returned to Ravenclaw with Jack's help, walked through the foyer of the castle, past the common room, and each walked towards their own stairs, exhausted both mentally and physically.Just after Jack climbed the spiral staircase of the boys' dormitory and found his dormitory, an uninvited guest who used the Disguise Charm appeared in the shadows opposite his room.

"Senior, why are you here?" Jack looked at Claudia who suddenly appeared and asked in surprise.

"Shh, don't be so loud." Claudia looked at his reaction and gave him a coquettish look, then pressed a finger on his lips.Then he looked left and right, and after confirming that no one in the dormitories on both sides of the quiet corridor noticed them, he said dissatisfiedly, "Is it possible that you want the entire boys' dormitory to know that I came to see you at night?" ?"

Jack coughed awkwardly twice after hearing Claudia's words, and then looked at him with searching eyes.

"You are such a ignorant brat." Claudia looked at Jack who had no intention of inviting her in and pouted in dissatisfaction, then handed an envelope into his hand. "Forget it, take this. This is what Senior Weber asked me to bring to you."

"What's in this?" Jack frowned as he weighed the envelope, which had obviously released the Traceless Stretching Charm.

"A research report on dementors. Weber sent it to you after hearing about your heroic deeds today. However, it is not convenient for his people to meet you directly, so he asked me to forward it to you. Since you have received it , then I’ll leave first.” Claudia waved to him after saying that, and then disappeared into the shadows of the corridor.
