"Did you notice Professor Snape's expression at that time, Harry?" Ron was still thinking about what happened in the corridor yesterday until he was about to board the Hogwarts express train home the next morning. He patted him on the shoulder hard, as if he wanted to slap him two inches shorter.

"I thought he had the scariest expression on the face of a student who failed in potions in class—I think I should solemnly apologize to him for my poor imagination!"

"Did you see the expressions of those Slytherin students? The expressions on their faces are wonderful." Hermione was not holding a book as usual, and she also joined the chatting topic with great interest, satisfied Said, "Their world seems to be collapsing. They probably didn't expect that their own dean is also a mixed race. This is quite unacceptable to them."

In fact, this is indeed the case. Today's Slytherin table is far more silent than in the past. Students from senior to junior grades are all silent. Even though there are still no professors in the auditorium at this moment, many of them are still silent. It was rare to give up the opportunity to ridicule, all of them were eerily quiet, like a rooster who had lost a fight, and their aura was unprecedentedly sluggish.

"Looks like they've been beaten up collectively," commented Dorothy, sitting next to them, regretfully, "It's a pity I didn't get to see it with my own eyes yesterday... Isaac and I were thinking about it yesterday in the Room of Requirement." How can we continue to run a newspaper during the holidays, making all kinds of weird requests to the Room of Requirement, it doesn’t seem to want to respond to us very much, and there is no progress at all.”

"What happened afterwards?" Hermione asked with concern, "You can ask Nanawei, his thinking is quite cautious, his words generally have no loopholes, and he can often embellish them more reasonably."

"Neville tried it too, but it didn't work, and we couldn't smuggle the machine back home. It's one thing that can't be done, and it's another thing to add extra trouble to the adults in the family." Dorothy said, "They've had enough, and I think it's best to leave them alone."

"Maybe my family can." Hermione said sincerely, "My parents have always been very fond of magic, and of course I didn't tell them what happened in the wizarding world recently... If you can find my house, my house can be vacated." A room for the machine—"

"It's too difficult for most non-Muggle wizards...Harry said that the last time he and Ron went to your house, Ron seemed to go to the other side of the world every time. "

"That's because he doesn't have a good sense of direction—"

"It's not entirely because of this!" Ron protested aggrievedly, "The main reason is that the streets look too similar, and every house looks the same..."

"Anyway, Isaac went to ask the godfather at last," Dorothy said to them. "The godfather told us that we could put the school paper machine here for a while until we got back from school, and he said it would be a During the busy holidays, if we want to, we can continue to write, and the school newspaper will be issued normally."

"Why?" asked several of the Gryffindors - who were also members of the DA - sitting next to them and listening to them.

"Oh, that's what he told us." Dorothy smiled and winked at everyone. "He said—boys, you don't think you're the only editor of the school newspaper?"

Everyone froze for a moment, looked at each other, and then smiled knowingly.Some of the people sitting here first heard of the school newspaper through their own parents.For those children who have just entered school, the school newspaper is a brilliant club and an interesting organization.For the generation of their parents, the school newspaper is their fond memories of the war years, full of hope to establish it by themselves, and it has continued to this day.

"Of course I need to contribute." Fred said happily, "Is there no new issue yet? I have already thought about what to write, and I will write about what happened yesterday afternoon. Can this article be booked in advance? The headlines? Help me talk to the seniors of our club—”

"You don't think you're the only one who writes it, do you?" George complained, "I feel like our manuscript will be mixed up with one paragraph at most... But when we went to see Colin yesterday, he said that he put those students The picture of scolding him was also taken, and his photo will definitely make the headlines, and the photo obtained in exchange for hospitalization is indeed valuable."

"By the way, speaking of those students, how are they doing? Among them is Marcus Flint. It's a pity that he can already graduate, otherwise I will appeal in the school newspaper, because he has potential violent tendencies, ban him from Quidditch next term—”

"Flint's going to be all right." Pansy looked around at her silent classmates and couldn't help screaming, "He's a Flint boy! A pure blood! He's sure—"

"Nothing is certain right now." The taciturn Blaise Zabini glanced at her and said calmly, "Haven't you found out, Pansy? Pure blood is no longer a good pass."

"But the Ministry said—"

"Hogwarts has its own ideas." Blaise said, "At least our headmaster has never thought so, and now it seems that our headmaster may never think so."

In the bewildered silence, the only chewing noises that persisted came from Crabbe and Goyle.Sitting next to them was Malfoy, looking ever smaller than ever, sitting at the table with his head bowed, his face pale.

"Are you okay, Draco?" Pansy was first attracted by the sound of chewing, and then found Draco who had been abnormally silent, and asked him with concern.

"He seems a little frightened." Theodore Nott said, with a slightly strange expression, "You all know that he always thinks that Professor Snape is the most competent of all the professors."

"How could he be a half-breed!" Draco said, turning his head to look at them, in disbelief, "He—I've always thought he—"

"He really didn't talk about bloodlines," Blaise Zabini said.

"Having a bit of a broken faith, Draco?" Pansy giggled, obviously not thinking it was a big deal, "and now he's a fake liar, isn't he? You've got a whole vacation to live with it. You can ask your father to tell the board of trustees to change our dean next year, I believe he can do it."

Draco Malfoy's lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end, remaining silent on the subject.

Just as the four colleges were chattering and discussing what happened yesterday, the door of the auditorium was opened and the professors walked in.

All sound stopped abruptly, and the students looked towards the door, somewhat surprised to see that all the professors had come together.

The professors who taught them, the deans of the four colleges, all walked in through the opened door. Principal Dumbledore walked in the front. They walked forward all the way to the long table of the faculty and staff, and stood according to their positions.

The students realized the seriousness of the atmosphere at this moment, and unconsciously held their breath and looked up.Albus Dumbledore stood in the middle of the long table, and slowly looked around the students with a serious expression.

"Before you leave school and go home, the school has a few final announcements for you."

His voice echoed in the auditorium, and everyone stared at him nervously.

"First of all, it is about the malicious brawl that happened in the corridor on the fifth floor of the school yesterday." Dumbledore said calmly while everyone was watching, "The professors dealt with this matter overnight, by asking about portraits, ghosts, and detecting things. Through various methods such as discovering the fluctuation of the magic power on the scene, investigating the casting of the magic wand, and interrogating the parties and relevant witnesses, it was finally determined that yesterday's incident originated from a malicious attack on a non-pure-blood student by several pure-blood students, causing the student to Hospitalized, the professors feel very regretful and distressed that such a thing happened in the school, after overnight discussion, the school decided to add a new school rule to prevent similar tragedies from happening again."

He waved his wand, and the shining letters appeared in mid-air with his wave, concise and to the point.

"Whoever maliciously causes serious harm to classmates at Hogwarts, once discovered, he will be expelled."

"Hogwarts has tried its best to create a peaceful communication environment for all students. I hope that you will be free from external interference, concentrate on studying, researching magic, improving your abilities, and becoming an outstanding wizard." Dumbledore said calmly and sentimentally, "But unfortunately, the school is not strong enough to shield you from all the wind and rain from the outside world. You will be affected, and then you will choose your own path early and plunge into it without hesitation. Young people are always unwilling to listen to any long-winded words from their elders. teach.

"But no matter what viewpoint you accept and what path you choose, at least Hogwarts, the place where you grew up, shouldn't become your battlefield early on." He said, "In any case, I hope you will always Can remember that when you are studying at Hogwarts, there are no future hostile sides here, you are surrounded by your classmates, your compatriots, you are no different, you are all lucky children blessed by magic, since magic Without leaving any of you behind, Hogwarts will protect the normal rights of all of you from any infringement."

With a calm face, he said slowly and clearly to the students who were listening to him: "At Hogwarts, you don't have to worry. You are children who should be protected. If you become a fighter too early, it's important to everyone. Say, it's all kind of sad."

"Hufflepuff will always accept all students." Professor Sprout said emphatically, "No matter what bloodline he is, if the Sorting Hat has chosen him, Hufflepuff will never give up on him."

"The same goes for Ravenclaw," Professor Flitwick said afterwards, "bright minds are always welcome - we can clearly find that smart minds don't deliberately choose pure-blood or half-blood wizards. The gift from the heavens has come to all people fairly!"

"Listen, Gryffindors!" snapped Professor McGonagall. "Wands are not allowed in this house to do harm to your fellow-mates - no matter which house! Be brave and not reckless, and don't let anyone see the joke." !"

"I will continue to stand here next semester." Severus Snape said in a low voice, calmly, "As a half-blood wizard teaching potions, as the head of Slytherin House. You can choose to come Or not, but I will always be here. This school will not change because of you and me, I hope everyone can understand as soon as possible."
