From Hogwarts Legacy to Hogwarts

Shortly after the Weasley twins rejected Halia's offer to "sell the news", the waiter on the Hogwarts Express arrived with a small snack trolley.Halia saw the words "Auror" and "Police" mentioned on the first page of the "Daily Prophet" that day, so she bought the "Daily Prophet" on the trolley.

Halia saw a report in the newspaper: the former Auror of the Ministry of Magic abused his power, and after retiring, he asked the employees of the Ministry of Magic to go to his house to clean up the mess for him.And it was because the Auror was suspicious and sensitive, which attracted the attention of the Muggles, and the Muggles even called the police.

Halia looked at the newspaper and flipped through the other pages, most of which introduced Mad-Eye Moody's previous achievements and some troubles caused by his retirement.There are no further details on what happened this morning.

Halia flipped through the newspaper and saw that the signature was "Rita Skeeter", and she didn't know what was true.Somewhat disturbed, she wasn't sure if the "Moody" that appeared in the paper was the Auror "Moody" anymore.

"Hey, Mr. Weasley appeared in the newspaper." Halia hesitated for a while, and then told the Weasley twins about the news in the newspaper.

George didn't even read the newspaper, and said disdainfully, "Hey, it must be that witch Skeeter making up things again."

Fred nodded and added: "Mom really hates Skeeter. Her articles are always talking bad about Dad and the Ministry of Magic."

Halia had no choice but to nod, not daring to answer, fearing that it would be about her.It seems that the clue to Mad-Eye Moody from Mr. Weasley is broken.

Halia looked out the window at the heavy rain and the receding scenery.

It was already late when the Hogwarts Express arrived at the station, and it was pouring rain outside the car.From getting off the car to entering the castle, almost everyone was drenched, and they used quick-drying spells at the gate of the castle to dry their bodies.

Not long after walking, he was hit by Peeves' water polo again, making him wet and cold.It wasn't until the appearance of Professor McGonagall that Peeves stopped playing pranks at the castle gate.

Halia cast another quick-drying spell and warming spell on herself, and finally felt warmer.She heard someone talking about taking a boat across the river in the first grade, as if someone fell into the black lake.Halia couldn't help shaking, thankful that she didn't have to take a boat in this weather.

Halia and the Weasley twins separated and sat at the long table in Ravenclaw, waiting for the sorting house.Among the new first graders, there was one wearing Hagrid's big felt coat, probably the one who fell into the water.

Sure enough, he heard him yelling at the long table of Gryffindor: "I fell into the lake, Colin."

Halia followed his gaze to the Gryffindor long table, and a few people applauded him.And the Weasley twins, I guess they think it's quite interesting?Halia thought.

When sorting, Halia saw the little wizard in a felt coat who was sorted to Gryffindor, and when he was staggering towards Gryffindor in a big felt, she followed her eyes and couldn't help smiling.Then, meeting George and Fred's eyes, they suddenly looked away as if they had been caught.

Halia didn't understand. She looked around and didn't know why George and Fred had such reactions just now.

The new year's branch is over.

Dumbledore stood up and spoke, announcing the start of the dinner.

Halia watched the food suddenly appear on the empty plates in front of her, and picked some to put on her own plate.I saw that the food on the plate of Ravenclaw's classmates on the opposite side was basically only one or two bites.He looked up suspiciously, and saw an East Asian face, it was Qiu Zhang.

Halia asked: "Aren't you going to eat? Qiu."

The witch on the opposite side smiled at her: "No need, Leah, I've been losing weight recently."

Halia nodded half-understood, Qiu is not fat, how come she started to lose weight now.Halia inadvertently looked at the plates of the witches, almost all of them were full.It was empty except for one plate.

Halia looked up, trying to see who was on a diet and skipping dinner.It turns out that the owner of the plate is Hermione.

Hermione was furious.She had just learned that there were more than 100 house-elves at Hogwarts, and they had no wages, no holidays, no allowances, nothing.Hogwarts is enslaving them, everything about them is slave labor, including this dinner.In all the books about Hogwarts she has read, there is no mention of "Hogwarts has house elves".

Ever since Hermione saw Mr. Crouch treat her house-elf too much at the Quidditch World Cup, she has been very sympathetic to what happened to this creature.

She thought it was just an exception, but she didn't expect that Hogwarts was also enslaving house-elves.She would have been kept in the dark if Sir Nicholas, the ghost of Gryffindor, hadn't told them about it.

Harry and Ron looked at each other next to Hermione, and they told Nearly Headless Nick, the ghost of Gryffindor, about Peeves messing around at the castle gate, but Nick told them that Peeves was messing around in the kitchen before that , so that the Hogwarts house-elves almost couldn't finish dinner.Unexpectedly, Hermione became angry when she heard about this, and now she started a hunger strike.

Ron persuaded Hermione: "Even if you starve yourself to death, you won't get sick leave for them." Ron didn't understand Hermione's thoughts, but it was obvious that Hermione was determined to protest.

Hermione didn't take another bite until dinner was over.

Dumbledore stood up to speak again, announcing the beginning of a new school year, and the "old-fashioned" precautions for each school year: Janitor Filch's list of prohibited items, no entry in the Forbidden Forest, no entry into Hogsmew under third year Germany.

After saying this, Dumbledore looked at the young wizards of the four colleges: "I regret to inform you that Hogwarts will not hold a Quidditch match this year."

All the Quidditch players were exchanging glances, in disbelief at the news.Some senior students still stared at Dumbledore, as if this would make him take back what he just said.

Dumbledore continued to explain: Because a major event will be held at Hogwarts this year, starting in October and lasting the entire school year, Hogwarts teachers will spend a lot of time and energy.At the same time, students can also have fun from this event.

Just as Dumbledore was about to tell everyone what the event was, the door of the auditorium was pushed open, and there was a loud banging sound.Halia saw that the man was Moody who had appeared in the Weasleys' fireplace that morning, and the magic eye rolled around.Halia clenched her wand tightly, not sure who this person was.
