[Zhongyingmei] My dad is Voldy

Anita parted from Tom and Irene in the Hogwarts entrance hall.Tom and Erin had some business to attend to before the start-to-term dinner, while Anita and Draco entered the hall with the other students.

Except for the first-year freshmen who were struggling to cross the lake in the pouring rain, the other six grades were all sitting at their desks in their colleges.Compared with the previous opening dinners that Anita had experienced, this year’s was obviously much quieter. The students were not chattering excitedly about the summer vacation and their expectations for the new semester as before, but got together in twos and threes, each whispering As they talked, there was a faint tension in the air.

Anita and Draco came to sit down at the Slytherin table, and the Slytherins who were still whispering stopped.

Anita's status in Slytherin is a bit special. First of all, Anita is the head of Slytherin—the adopted daughter of Severus, but Anita and Severus severed their father-daughter relationship this summer; secondly, this year During the summer vacation, Anita suddenly became the daughter of the Dark Lord. However, in addition to most of Slytherin's family who support Tom, there are also some who are loyal to Voldemort.In addition, this is the first time that Anita has appeared in Slytherin since she revealed her real identity, and the students in Slytherin are a little unsure of how to deal with her.

"Good evening." Anita ignored the somewhat awkward atmosphere on the long Slytherin table, and greeted the students around with a smile.

The atmosphere on the long table suddenly relaxed, and the shrewd Slytherins quickly figured out the appropriate distance to get along with Anita from the consistent attitude of Anita, and greeted Anita with smiles, "Good evening, Anita .”

After greeting everyone, Anita looked at the professors' desks on the high platform in front of the auditorium.Anita saw Severus at a glance, he looked gloomy and very unhappy, Anita could tell that Severus looked a little tired.Severus keenly sensed Anita's gaze, looked over, the father and daughter looked at each other, Severus looked away expressionlessly, from the perspective of others, his face was even worse Some, as if they hated Anita.Anita lowered her head so that no one could see her expression clearly.

Draco shook Anita's hand comfortingly, Anita raised her head, smiled and shook her head, indicating that she was fine, but the smile seemed a bit forced.

Anita looked at the rest of the professor's chair. Dumbledore's seat in the middle was empty. Dumbledore was probably still discussing Moriarty with Tom and Sherlock.The seats of Professor McGonagall and Hagrid were also empty. Hagrid was rowing across the black lake with the first-years. Professor McGonagall was usually in charge of presiding over the sorting ceremony, and now he should be waiting for the arrival of new students in the foyer.

"Anita, how was your summer vacation?" Daphne, who was sitting next to Anita, asked.Daphne is Anita's classmate in the same grade and the eldest daughter of the Greengrass family. Her father is a member of the Knights. Daphne and Anita have a good relationship.

"Excellent, how about you?"

"It's also great." Daphne paused. Anita noticed that a girl sitting next to Daphne gently pushed her arm. On the Hogwarts Express... is it true?"

Anita glanced around and found that although other people were talking to the people next to them, their eyes glanced over, obviously curious about the purpose of Tom's visit to Hogwarts.

"It's true," said Anita.

Daphne waited for a while, seeing that Anita had no intention of explaining, she could only bite the bullet and continue to ask, "Then...the Lord came to the school...for...?"

"The Knights and the Order of the Phoenix have reached a cooperation, haven't they?"

Seeing that Anita didn't disclose any substantive content, the Slytherins with pricked ears showed disappointment in their eyes, and at the same time scratched their hearts even more curiously.

"There is no one in the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's seat on the professor's chair...Is Lord...?"

Anita smiled mysteriously, before she could answer, the door of the auditorium opened again, and Professor McGonagall walked in with the freshmen.The sorting ceremony was about to begin, and everyone fell silent, and Anita stopped talking.Anita saw that Dumbledore and Sherlock sat down on the professor's chair, but Tom and Irene hadn't appeared yet.

Neither Tom nor Erin appeared at the professor's table until after the sorting ceremony.At this time, Dumbledore stood up, looked at the students in the audience with a smile and said, "Good evening, welcome to Hogwarts. Before the dinner starts, I have to make a few announcements."

"As before, students are strictly prohibited from entering and leaving the Forbidden Forest next to the playground, and students under the third grade or without a guardian's signature are not allowed to go to Hogsmeade Village."

"Mr. Filch, the administrator, asked me to remind everyone that the list of prohibited items in the castle and the school rules are posted on the door of his office. Please be careful not to violate any of them."

"Everyone knows that the current situation is very tense. There are many contradictions and frictions between the Muggle world and the wizarding world, as well as within the wizarding world." The smile on Dumbledore's face disappeared, and his expression and The tone became very dignified, and there was a tense and heavy silence in the auditorium.

"But I hope that Hogwarts can remain as united as ever, whether it's within or between houses, whether it's from pure-blood, half-blood or Muggle families. If you can only learn one thing at Hogwarts Then I hope that what you have learned is not any kind of magic. What I hope you have learned is not to define a person by blood. Muggles or wizards, we may have different abilities, but we All equal."

"At the same time, I would like to emphasize that in this dangerous situation, everyone in Hogwarts must always be vigilant and ensure their own safety. The defensive circle of Hogwarts was strengthened during the summer vacation Passed, but everyone must abide by the school rules and restrain their behavior, so as to better ensure the safety of themselves and others. For example, things like night tours, leaving school without permission, and bringing unknown items into school are absolutely unacceptable during this semester. Students who do not allow it will be punished more severely than before."

Dumbledore's sharp gaze swept over every student, making sure that everyone had listened, and then he smiled and continued, "Of course, I also have good news to announce. This year, there will be two outstanding wizards joining us. Faculty. Allow me to introduce Professor Benedict Cumberbatch..."

Anita sprayed Draco, who was sitting in front of her, with a mouthful of salt soda. She was choking and coughing non-stop, but stared persistently at Sherlock who stood up and signaled to the students.

Draco patted Anita's back lightly, and looked at the professor's seat suspiciously. He recognized that the so-called Professor Cumberbatch had come to their carriage before, the Dark Lord's "rival in love" Sherlock Holmes.Although Sherlock has now changed into a wizard robe, with a beard and wrinkles on his face, and the subtle changes in his facial features, he looks completely different from before, but Anita's reaction shouldn't be that big, right?

Anita coughed so badly that not only the students around her cast strange glances at her, but even the professors on the professor's chair looked over, a trace of almost imperceptible worry flashed in Severus' eyes, Sherlock winked at Anita, and Dumbledore couldn't help asking, "Miss Riddle, are you okay? Do you need to go to the school hospital?"

Anita waved her hand, indicating that she was fine, while trying to suppress her cough.

Dumbledore continued, interrupted by Anita, "Please allow us to welcome Professor Nedict Cumberbatch as our new Muggle Studies teacher."

Sparse applause resounded in the auditorium. Muggle Studies was originally an elective course that was not very popular. Coupled with the current situation in the wizarding world and the Muggle world, fewer people chose this course. The students The professor of this course is not very interested, if not for Anita's earth-shattering cough, there might be even fewer people paying attention to Sherlock.

"In addition, as everyone expected, we will have a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Unfortunately, due to some things, he may not be able to make it to the opening dinner tonight. I believe everyone will be in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class tomorrow. I know him and his teaching assistants online. It is my pleasure to introduce..."

At this moment, the door of the auditorium opened, and Tom and Irene appeared at the door, both of them were dressed in black wizard robes.It was stormy outside, and even the hall was full of water, but there was not a drop of water on the two of them, and it seemed that even the soles of their shoes were dry.

The two walked through the auditorium to the professor's seat. The students in the entire auditorium were silent. Everyone was shocked by the powerful momentum of the two, and they couldn't help but focus on them.When Tom and Irene walked by, the students sitting on both sides of the aisle couldn't help shrinking back slightly, but they still looked at them intently.

"It's just in time, Tom, Irene." Dumbledore shook hands with Tom and Irene with a smile, and introduced to everyone, "This is what I just said, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and his teaching assistant, Tom Rie Professor Dale and Mrs Irene Riddle."

There was silence in the auditorium, and everyone was stunned by the fact that the Dark Lord was the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and they didn't react.

Anita and Draco applauded first, followed by most of the Slytherins applauding enthusiastically, which led to the students in the other three houses.If you don't look at the mournful expressions of the students and just listen to the applause, the Dark Lord may be one of the most popular Defense Against the Dark Arts professors at Hogwarts in history.

"Okay, now, the start-of-school dinner officially begins!"

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, the empty plates on the table were miraculously filled with all kinds of delicious food.
