From Hogwarts Legacy to Hogwarts

Chapter 39 The end of the dinner

Halia saw the person appearing at the entrance of the Hogwarts hall, he greeted Dumbledore, and walked towards the long desk in the classroom without paying attention to the frightened sounds of the students seeing him.

Dumbledore blinked and introduced the new wizard to everyone: "I forgot to introduce to you, this is my good friend,

Alastor Moody, at my invitation, came to Hogwarts this year as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. "

Scattered applause appeared on the long table below. Most of the young wizards were frightened by Moody's appearance, especially his magic eyes that kept turning, which added a little bit to the stormy atmosphere. fear.

Halia heard some students whispering on the Ravenclaw table: "It's the former Auror who appeared in the Daily Prophet this morning."

"Didn't you say he was crazy? Why did Dumbledore invite him to teach students?"

Halia kept staring at Moody on the teacher's long table, and saw him take out a few slices of bread from his arms and eat a few bites, but did not take out a cup to drink.

He heard gossip from the long table next to him: "Look at that, he only eats what he brings. I heard from my father that he only ate what he prepared before he retired."

After hearing this, Halia agreed in her heart. It was precisely because everyone in the wizarding world knew about Moody's characteristic that Barty Jr. put the potion of compound decoction in Moody's own wine bottle. Doubt, can also guarantee the lasting effect of the compound soup is only one hour.But the Moody in front of him hasn't drunk anything since he appeared.

Dumbledore coughed a few times, the discussions among the little wizards because of Moody's appearance disappeared, and the whole hall became quiet again.

Dumbledore introduced to everyone that the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year, and the wizard who wins the competition will have a thousand Galleons as a reward.Due to the high number of deaths in the history of this event, this year there will be an age limit, and only wizards who are 17 years old can participate.

Almost most of the little wizards expressed strong dissatisfaction with the "17-year-old" age limit setting, especially the sixth grade students, complaining loudly: "It's not fair, we will be 17 years old next year!"

Halia saw Marietta Akmo on the opposite side of the Ravenclaw long table bumping Qiu Zhang next to her with her arm, and asked narrowly, "That Quidditch captain should be 17 years old, right?" ?”

Qiu was a little embarrassed by the teasing, and looked around, pretending not to know what her good friend was talking about: "Our Quidditch captain? Hey, Roger, are you 17 yet?"

Roger Davis, who was sitting on the other side of the long table, still didn't understand what the two little witches were talking about. He shook his head and said regretfully, "No, I'll only be 17 next year."

Marietta pouted, and whispered to Qiu, "You know what I'm talking about."

Halia smiled, temporarily relaxed, and shifted her attention away from the teacher's long table.She has already changed what happened to Sirius. Even if it was Barty Jr. who came to Hogwarts, she will definitely find a way to solve it.

Halia noticed that Hermione had barely eaten at the dinner party, and went to find Hermione with something to eat before the food on the long table disappeared.Called her at the corner of the stairs leading to Gryffindor in the hall: "Hey, Hermione, I saw that you didn't eat at the dinner party just now, would you like some?"

Hermione turned around angrily, and wanted to knock down the food that was handed over. She thought it was Ron and Harry, but when she saw that it was Halia, she retracted her hand in embarrassment, did not accept the food, and lowered her head to organize A little language: "Leah, do you know the tragic experience of house elves? They are open all year round, without any benefits, and they are simply slaves of wizards. There are hundreds of such slaves in Hogwarts!" Excited.

Halia reached out her hand to comfort Hermione: "Don't get excited, Hermione, do you not eat because you sympathize with the house elves?"

Hermione nodded, then shook her head: "Not only because of sympathy, Ron, but also most other wizards living in the wizarding world. They take it for granted to enslave house-elves, and even house-elves take it for granted to be enslaved. They even It’s a shame to ask for wages and benefits.”

Hermione told Halia briefly about Dobby, and about Crouch's house-elf Winky.

When Halia read the novel for the first time as a child, she felt that Hermione's behavior was a bit redundant.But when she grew up and became an adult who "relying on work and labor for wages", she was very grateful for the seeds Hermione had planted in her heart: those working without wages are oppression and slavery in disguise.

Halia pretended to think about it, and said to Hermione: "Hermione, what you said is very good, it is an aspect that I didn't think of before. But if you don't eat now, you may starve yourself to death. Only I have heard it."

Hermione's stomach rumbled untimely. Halia pretended not to hear it, held back her laughter, handed the food to Hermione again, and encouraged her: "Eat something first. Your thoughts are very empathetic." , What I proposed is something I haven’t seen in the book before. However, I think that what caused the house elves’ situation has something to do with their living environment and living atmosphere. In any case, it shouldn’t be a big deal to starve yourself A good solution to their plight."

Hermione seemed to have heard something, and didn't resist eating anymore: "Leah, you're right, I'm going back to read, and I have to go to the library tomorrow! It's too late, you should go back early " said Hermione and ran towards Gryffindor.

Halia nodded to Hermione, and also planned to return to Ravenclaw's tower.It would be troublesome if it was delayed until the curfew time.When she turned around, she saw a figure in the corner. Halia grabbed the wand in her hand and shouted towards the corner, "Who is it? Come out quickly, don't hide!"

A shy boy came out from the corner, put his hands behind his back as if hiding something, and greeted Halia shyly: "Hi Leah, we meet again." Seeing Halia's wand pointing I feel a little embarrassed.

"Cedric?" Halia didn't expect it to be this person, and immediately put down her wand, "Sorry, I didn't know it was you."

Cedric shook his head: "It's okay, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your chat here, I just happened to pass by."

Halia nodded understandingly, and looked at his hands behind him: "What are you hiding in your hands?"

Cedric moved his hands from behind to in front of him: "Snacks, Yorkshire pudding, treacle pie, chocolate cake... would you like one?"

Halia shook her head. These sweets are too easy to get fat, but they are so delicious. She stretched out her hand again: "Give me a piece of Yorkshire pudding, thank you." Seeing that Cedric seemed to want to say something, Halia asked him : "What's wrong?"
