Chapter 331

"What did the Sorting Hat ask you?"

After Xiao Bu happily ran towards Lynn, a Slytherin student next to Lynn consciously got up and made way for Xiao Bu to sit down.

Xiao Bu looked around excitedly. Although she sat at this table a lot in the last semester, this was the first time she used her name to stay here openly.

"It asked me if I had lofty ideals, and I said of course I have. From now on, I want to have endless games every day, endless delicious food, and sleep as long as I want. The Sorting Hat is very He praised my awareness, and then said that going to Slytherin would allow me to fulfill this ideal better, and finally assigned me here."

Lynn looked at the sorting hat speechlessly, which had already been sorted and was being taken away by Professor McGonagall.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see how Slytherin students had anything to do with this ideal of ignorance.

Lynn is very suspicious that the reputation of pure Slytherin is too bad outside. Most of the young wizards are unwilling to be assigned to this college.

In this way, the number of Slytherins is getting smaller and smaller, and it is not impossible for Hogwarts to change from the four major colleges to the three major colleges.

So in order to prevent the Snake Court from becoming a thing of the past, the Sorting Hat buries these little wizards who are based on their bloodlines and can barely match Slytherin's admissions requirements into the Snake Court.

But there's nothing wrong with that. In the same college as him, Lynn still has the opportunity to watch her, so she won't be thinking about eating, drinking and having fun in school every day.

After the sorting ended, Dumbledore didn't talk nonsense. This is what the little wizards like most about him. He never put on airs. He knew that everyone was frightened by the dementors on the road. He was already hungry. What's the matter? Let's talk when we are full.

After a sumptuous dinner, Dumbledore once again emphasized the Hogwarts rules to the freshmen as usual, and then introduced this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

"Because your Professor Belloc will continue his studies in Hogwarts, so I have to agree to his resignation application. Since then, Hogwarts has one less outstanding professor but one more outstanding professor. student."

The little wizards below looked at Lynn who was sitting at the Slytherin table and laughed happily.

"However, I specially invited Mr. Remus Lupine to be your new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. He used to be an excellent graduate of Hogwarts, and he will become an excellent professor this year."

The students applauded. They were not only applauding Professor Lupine, but also because most people saw him protecting the students on the train.

Although he hasn't attended class yet, everyone has a good impression of this middle-aged man who looks very gentle.

But he can't make everyone like him.

On the professor's long table on the high platform, Snape looked at Lupine with unconcealed disgust and hatred.

The careful little wizard found out that Snape's emotions didn't feel anything wrong, because everyone knew that he actually wanted to take up the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and he would not have a good face to anyone who took his position. , but this time his complexion was even worse.

Just when Dumbledore had finished introducing this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and the students and uninformed professors thought that this was the end of his speech today and were about to leave, Dumbledore's old voice sounded again.

"At the same time, starting from this year, Hogwarts will undergo a large-scale change."

The students who were about to get up were stunned for a moment, and they sat back to their seats with blank faces, not understanding what Dumbledore was talking about about this big change.

On the high platform, most of the professors also looked at Dumbledore in puzzlement, except for Professor McGonagall, who was usually in charge of trivial matters in the school, and Filch, the castle administrator.

Since this matter mainly involved their power in the school, Dumbledore had already gotten angry with them during the summer vacation.

Professor McGonagall's expression was normal, but Filch's expression was a little ugly.

"The prefect system has always been the cornerstone of the student self-government system at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Since it was implemented in 1213, it has continued in this castle for more than 700 years."

Dumbledore's voice echoed in the auditorium, and everyone else was listening quietly. They knew that this great wizard would not be indiscriminate. Since he said that it was a large-scale change, it must not be a trivial matter.

"But time will change everything. Perhaps the prefect system was the most suitable system for Hogwarts at that time in the past seven hundred years, but now the various drawbacks of this system have become more and more obvious.

The loose student self-government system makes Hogwarts' learning atmosphere extremely loose. Although the prefects and the male and female student council chairpersons have some powers, they rarely use them, because too many affairs in the castle are interfered by the professors. And there is undoubtedly a huge generation gap (a term Lynn taught him) between the old and the young.

The managed cannot understand the difficulty of the manager, and the manager cannot know the intention of the managed, so Mr. Filch, the castle administrator, is struggling in such a difficult way. And the prefects of each college are more like the mouthpieces of the teachers, rather than a real student self-government organization.

The chairpersons of the male and female student unions who were only elected in the seventh grade are mostly busy with their graduation exams and where they will work after graduation. Things to do are rarely asked. "

Dumbledore's words caused the students below to whisper for a while. There are many smart people among the young wizards. From these words, they can roughly guess what Dumbledore wants to do.

"So I decided to abolish the prefect system in Hogwarts from this year!"

The little wizards were in an uproar, and even the professors who didn't know looked at Dumbledore in disbelief. Although they had guessed when they listened to his speech, they didn't expect it to be so sudden.

"Professor! Professor Dumbledore! I have a question!"

A student raised his hand loudly and stood up from his chair. It was Percy Weasley of Gryffindor. He always cherished his status as a prefect, and he even thought that he would successfully become a Hogwart this semester. The Boys Chairman of the tz.

Unexpectedly, the chairman's letter did not come during the summer vacation, and even the prefect's position was lost after returning to school!
