Chapter 534: Notes

"Why are there so many people this year? And there are some people from other countries. I heard French." Fanlin said.

In fact, the number of freshmen this year is twice as many. This is incredible. It seems that all the students in Europe are being snatched here.

Fanlin got hungry very quickly. He didn't eat much all day, and the cat's stomach is really small.

"I heard that many freshmen from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang came here, but this is also a rumor." Ron said.

"Rumor?" Hermione wondered, "Why?"

"I don't know, but everyone says so. After all, there is a Fanlin..." Neville said, "But, Fanlin, that day at the Quidditch World Cup..."

"I can testify that the person is Fanlin, and the Daily Prophet said it. My mother said that Fanlin and I..."

Seamus' mother plus the Daily Prophet theory system.

This may be the most complete and blind system in the entire Hogwarts.

"It seems that your worry is right..." Hermione said secretly.

However, the discussions of this or that soon died down. After Dumbledore stood up and announced the start of the banquet, everyone joined the army of foodies.

Today was really terrible.

Senior students all came from Hogsmeade by carriage, but with such heavy rain...

Didn't anyone think of using a wand?

Anyway, they were all wet, so maybe it was something they didn't care about.

However, the long freshman sorting still exhausted everyone's energy.

The stomach problem needs to be solved, just like Ron, he has a chicken drumstick in each hand.

This scene seems to have been seen there...

It seems to be in the first year, which is also a continuation of tradition.

However, this time did not last long. After eating, everyone began to discuss the happy holidays.

Of course, Vanlin's actions at the Quidditch World Cup made all Hogwarts wizards proud.

Those freshmen in the first year looked in Vanlin's direction.

The most famous people in the British magic world, Dumbledore, Vanlin, Harry and Sirius, if Sirius was here, it would be perfect.

However, this is just one of them.

The various reports in the Daily Prophet have thoroughly analyzed the matter from all aspects.

With the help of Dumbledore, Vanlin did not release more things.

At most, everyone was amazed at Vanlin's strength, but this was something that could not be forced.

Not every wizard's strength improved as quickly as Vanlin.

However, if there was something chasing you behind you, I think no matter which wizard it was, he would be very motivated.

The raindrops were still beating on the tall and dark windows like drums, and another thunder shook the windows. The dark sky passed by thunderbolts, illuminating the golden plate. The remnants of the first dish on the plate disappeared, and then replaced with pudding.

"Oh, my favorite dessert..." Vanlin rubbed his stomach.

"You can't eat it anymore, it's not good for your teeth."

"Please, Hermione, I've been thinking about this for a long time."

"But you just ate six the day before yesterday." Hermione said, she pushed away most of the cream cake and pudding, leaving only a small part.

Fred and George laughed, and they looked like they had bad intentions.

After a while, the pudding was eaten up, and the last crumbs disappeared from the plate. Albus Dumbledore stood up, and the buzzing conversation in the hall stopped immediately. Only the roar of the wind and the sound of heavy rain could be heard.

"Pay attention." Dumbledore smiled at them. "Now we are all full and satisfied. I remind you to pay attention to a few things, especially the freshmen and some of the seniors. I hope you can remember them."

The seniors were definitely talking to the Weasley brothers, who had already mastered the castle.

"Mr. Filch, the caretaker, asked me to tell you that this year's list of taboos has been expanded to include items such as Yo-Yo screaming, frisbees and boomerangs, totaling 437 items. I think interested students can check Mr. Filch's office."

"That's no use at all," said Harry, "unless they ban Fred and George."

"Or, put them in a series, which is more effective than listing them individually, Weasley..."

"No, Hermione, you can't do that..." said Fred.

"But your mother..."

"We just started a side business, and it's very successful."

"But this is against the rules." Hermione said, she seemed to be considering Mrs. Weasley.

Hermione is very much like Professor McGonagall, there is no doubt about that.

Dumbledore's mouth moved.

He continued, "I still have to remind you that students are not allowed to enter the forest on the flat ground, and students below the third grade cannot go to Hogsmeade village."

These are all normal matters. Dumbledore cleared his throat, "I also regret to inform you that the Intramural Quidditch Cup will not be held this year."

"What?" Harry gasped, looking around at his fellow Quidditch team members Fred and George, who were silently opening their mouths at Dumbledore, obviously too shocked to speak.

Dumbledore added, "This is because of a competition that started in October and will last throughout the school year. It takes up a lot of the teachers' time and energy - but I promise that you will enjoy it, and I am happy to announce that Hogwarts, this year -"

Just then, a deafening thunder sounded, and the door of the hall slammed open.

A man stood in the corridor, leaning on a long cane and covered with a black traveling cloak. Everyone in the hall turned to look at this outsider. Suddenly, a thunderbolt streaked across the roof, illuminating him. He took off his hood, and a long gray mane and dark gray hair fell down.

He began to walk towards the professor's seat.

With every step he took, the hall echoed with a deep chuckle. He walked to the end of the table, turned right, and walked towards Dumbledore. Another thunderbolt streaked across the roof, and Hermione held her breath.

Fanlin's expression suddenly changed.

This is not Alastor Moody at all. He was originally wondering if Moody would be replaced. After all, Moody is very strong.

However, the ceiling of Hogwarts has given him the answer.

There is a very powerful early warning magic on this ceiling. If something bad enters the hall, the ceiling here will warn everyone in Hogwarts.

Hogwarts rejects everything that is bad for Hogwarts, just like Voldemort was refused to teach in Hogwarts. (To be continued)
