The Mysterious Black Cat at Hogwarts

Chapter 307 The Sorting Ceremony Under the Storm

"Hi! Harry, Ron, you are finally here, I didn't see you on the train," Seamus meowed while holding the black and white cat, and placed it beside them, looking around the cafeteria, everyone was whispering and said to them, "A lot of great things have happened recently, have you seen all of them?"

"Big thing?" Harry and Ron shook their heads together. They have been isolated from the world for three months, and the inhuman training made them unable to think of anything other than their own butts.

Seamus turned on the black and white cat and meowed, let them read the news on it, almost all newspapers were reporting news about Death Eaters, what Death Eaters attacked the Muggle Bridge, how many people died, what Death Eaters attacked Diagon Alley, even captured the owner of the wand shop with a history of more than 2300 years, destroyed many Diagon Alley shops and the like.

Occupying the front page was a long report from the Daily Prophet titled, The Return of the Dark Lord. Judging by the date above, it was already a week ago.

"No! I'm going to Diagon Alley!" Ron stood up suddenly carrying the orange cat. His two older brothers were still running a shop in Diagon Alley. "Fred and George are still in Diagon Alley. They must be protected!"

"Ron, I don't think you need to go," Seamus looked at Ron strangely, "How long has it been since you contacted them? As long as there are shops with black and white cat logos in the entire Diagon Alley, none of them have been affected. Well, the Weasley's Wizard Wheezes shop sign is two cats, one black and one white. Even in this special period, their shop is still very hot. I went there yesterday and it cost me a full twenty gold plus Long!"

Ron breathed a sigh of relief, and sat back down again. The orange cat on his shoulder was placed on the dining table, making a muffled bang.

"Oh, buddy, is this your holiday cat?" Seamus blinked and looked at the orange cat in disbelief. How fat is it to make such a loud noise after colliding with the table?

"I'll tell you when I get back to the dormitory," Harry interrupted Ron, who wanted to tell Seamus the truth, and asked Seamus, "I was on the way, and I found the Auror, did anything happen at Hogwarts?"

"Everything is normal at Hogwarts. Professor Flitwick has set up a magic circle outside the castle. I can see with my own eyes that a bug that wanted to fly in was instantly blown up." Seamus wanted to move the dining table. But the huge orange cat turned over and stared at him vigilantly, which made him withdraw his hand in embarrassment, "Those Aurors were sent by the Ministry of Magic. After all, the Ministry of Magic's new The minister has just taken office, and now is a special period."

When it came to the Minister of Magic, Harry and Ron lost interest immediately, lying on the table with their cat as their pillow, wondering what they were thinking.

After Macon and Hermione entered the cafeteria, the two separated quickly. Macon sat on the professor's seat. Today is the sorting ceremony. He must sit on it, so that the new little wizards will discuss who he is, naturally Some senior students told them.

Looking at the two sparse rows of freshmen standing in the middle, Macon immediately thought of the recent Death Eater scandal. It seems that most wizard parents are unwilling to take the risk of sending their children to Hogwarts on the cusp of this crisis According to the data obtained from Lelia and Felina's puppet magic net, many people from the wizarding world in England went to settle in France this year. It seems that they chose Beauxbatons.

Since Professor McGonagall became the headmaster of Hogwarts, the professor in charge of the sorting ceremony was replaced by Professor Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff. freshmen relax.

After the freshmen put on the sorting hat and were sorted into five colleges, Professor McGonagall came to the podium and began to give a speech for the new semester. However, judging from her tired face, the recent situation was not optimistic.

"I believe everyone has seen that those patrolling Aurors, they will not disturb our campus life. In order to prevent some accidents from happening, the entire castle has opened a magic barrier. I hope you will not touch those barriers. The consequences are very dangerous, and those secret passages are also no longer safe," Professor McGonagall said while looking at the Gryffindor table, especially those stubborn stubborn elements.

"In addition, this year's Potions class and Defense Against the Dark Arts class will be changed. The Potions class will be taught by Professor Horace Slughorn," Professor McGonagall looked at the professor's chair, beside Macon, An older fat professor with protruding eyes, a bushy silver beard, and a shiny bald head, "Professor Snape will be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

Professor Slughorn stood up and bowed his head to the little wizards, then sat back in his chair, approached Macon and kept talking, until he saw the bored expression on Macon's face, he stopped talking embarrassingly .

"It's unbelievable that Snape has actually become a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts!" Harry found that this year's campus life had not even started, and he had already entered hell mode.

"Don't worry about Harry, don't forget the end of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors of the past generations," Ron shook his head indifferently. The previous one was said to be still crazy and lived in St. Mungo's. "Speaking of which, I don't want to Don't lament Professor Lupine's luck."

"But, Ron, Snape is different from those professors." Harry didn't believe in Ron's black magic theory, and in his eyes, Snape was always picking on him, deducting points for no reason, with a temperament Weird villain, "he's sure to sit in that seat and make me suffer this year, worst of all, not poisoning me with his potions last year, this year with Defense Against the Dark Arts ?”

"Harry, we are already in the sixth grade. If Professor Snape was really like what you said, you would have died a long time ago, instead of sitting here and saying such things." Hermione has found that although Snape is special, It was weird, but it didn't do any real harm to Harry, and Harry was Lily's child after all, so his love for Lily would definitely not hurt Harry.

"Since when did you start speaking nicely about Snape?" Harry and Ron looked at Hermione in surprise.

"I'm just seeking truth from facts, and I didn't say good things for him." Hermione turned her face away, she was not in the mood to pay attention to these two people now, the number of new students this year was the smallest since she came to Hogwarts, There were not 80 people in total, and she counted the freshmen who joined the Black Cat Academy one by one, only twenty of them.

When the banquet was about to end, Macon presented black cat brooches to the freshmen of the Black Cat Academy again. This time, there was no need to explain the use of the brooches to them, as their second-year seniors would tell them.
