Chapter 81

"I think it's better to make it clear before you get confused by this beautiful meal."

Dumbledore cleared his throat and went on.

"After they searched the Hogwarts Express train... You must know that at present, our school will receive some Dementors from Azkaban. They come here to perform the official duties of the Ministry of magic."

Dumbledore was not happy about the Dementor guarding the school, but it was the meaning of the Ministry of magic. As the principal of Hogwarts, he knew that the Ministry of magic represented rules and constraints.

With Dumbledore's influence in the magic world, he must set a good example for other wizards to abide by the rules, which is beneficial to the stability and development of the magic world.

"They are stationed at all entrances to the school site," Dumbledore continued. "During their stay here, I must make it clear that no one can leave the school without permission. Dementors should not be deceived by tricks or disguises - not even invisibility vests." he added without expression.

"Dementors don't know what requests or excuses are. So I warn each of you: don't leave them any excuses to hurt you. I hope prefects, as well as our new chairmen of boys' and girls' student unions, you should ensure that no student will conflict with Dementors."

Percy was sitting only a few seats away from Harry when he straightened his chest and looked around impressively.

Yes, that's right. Percy was promoted to the chairman of the boys' Student Union. Looking at him, he was obviously showing off!

"What is more gratifying," continued Dumbledore, "is that this year, I am very happy to welcome two new teachers to our team."

"The first is Professor Lupin. He agreed to fill the vacancy in the course of defense against dark magic."

There were some scattered and less enthusiastic applause in the auditorium. Only those students who had been in the same car as him on the train applauded, and Marca was certainly among them.

To tell you the truth, Maka is still very fond of this werewolf Professor... Well, of course, maybe it's just because he's curious about werewolves?

Sitting among all the well-dressed teachers, Lupin looked particularly shabby.

Snape, who was sitting on the other side of the teaching staff, kept his eyes on Professor Lupin along the teacher's long table.

At Hogwarts, everyone knew that Snape had always wanted to be a teacher of defense against the dark arts, and it was normal to be angry about it.

To everyone's surprise, the expression on Snape's face had exceeded anger. It was disgust. That feeling is as like as two peas Snape's eyes fell on Harry's face every time.

"As for the second teacher we appointed..."

After the less enthusiastic applause for Professor Lupin disappeared, Dumbledore continued.

"Well... I regret to tell you that our teacher of conservation magic biology, Professor Kate Bourne, retired at the end of last year to spend more time with his remaining naughty. However, I am happy to say that it is not others, but ruber Hagrid, who has agreed to serve as a teacher in addition to being a game keeper."

As soon as Dumbledore spoke, Marca took the lead in clapping his hands - he knew that Hagrid must be encouraged so that he would not always forget what to do and what not to do as a teacher.

"Although it's estimated that it's useless..." Maka thought as she slapped her hands dry and hard.

He could hear the applause on Gryffindor's table. The little lions always had a good sense of Hagrid.

Harry, in particular, leaned forward to look at Hagrid with a happy smile on his face.

Hagrid blushed with excitement. He stared at his big hands, and his smile was hidden in his messy black beard.

Gradually, the applause subsided. When Professor Dumbledore began to speak again, everyone saw Hagrid wiping his eyes with a tablecloth.

"Well, I think the important thing is over," said Dumbledore. "Start eating!"

……

The new semester has begun, and everyone is once again engaged in intense study.

Since the third grade, there have been elective courses.

One is ancient magic writing, the other is Muggle research, and there are two subjects related to divination - divination and arithmetic divination. Of course, you can't forget Hagrid's class on protecting magical creatures.

Speaking of it, Maka is not good at divination, just as he is not good at astronomy, but he chose both divination and arithmetic divination.

In addition, the ancient magic class seemed to match Maka, but he didn't even have an interest in it.

As for Hagrid's class of protecting magical creatures, Maka thought about it and chose it. At least he has a good relationship with Hagrid. He still needs to give this face.

However, for both divination courses, he only plans to take a few classes first, and the specific situation has to be calculated separately.

But even so, Maka this semester is obviously better than the past few chips in terms of the degree of busyness alone.

Oh, yes! There is one more thing I have to mention.

In this semester, a big event happened at hatch patch College - the college's Quidditch team suddenly entered a state of semi paralysis. The only reason for his paralysis is that all the members of the original hospital team have retired!

The first to leave the team are captain Darren Chris and chaser Charles Brown, who have graduated with honors this year; The two seventh graders who immediately withdrew from the team were forced to withdraw from the hospital team and concentrate on preparing for the new exams due to the pressure exerted on them at home.

In this way, Charlotte, the same seventh grade seeker, also quit.

There was only one sixth grade batter, mark Baker, who had no choice but to quit.

In this way, the Hufflepuff college team was dramatic and completely deserted.

At this point, we must mention Cedric Diggory. He got the rank of prefect of Hufflepuff last year. Since he took office, not to mention, his popularity has been really good.

Who doesn't like a boy full of reason, handsome appearance and elegant demeanor?

During a semester of Maka's low-key life, Cedric's reputation at Hufflepuff college rose rapidly, and the little badgers often compared him with Maka.

It is such a handsome prefect who has risen rapidly. When there are such serious problems in the Hufflepuff academy team, he is duty bound to take the matter to himself.

He personally served as the captain and re recruited the team members, which soon restored the completely stagnant hospital team to the normal training state.

He even came to Maka many times in the hope that he could rejoin the hospital team. Although Marka didn't promise, he always maintained a modest and elegant tone. He didn't get impatient or even resent because of Marka's repeated excuses.

It's just that Maka really doesn't have time to fly around on the broom. He has too many things to do and can't be busy at all.

No, he had just finished his divination class, so he had to rush to the classroom of arithmetic and divination.

To tell the truth, Professor Trelawney's divination class really made him a little confused, and this was on the premise that he had thought about the content of divination in advance.

"Why can the appearance of tea residue predict the future? What is the principle?" Maka couldn't understand it.

What's more, all the books on divination have not explained the principle, as if it was an empirical discipline, which makes people suspicious.

Relatively speaking, arithmetic divination is much easier to understand.

Whether it is the magic attribute of numbers or the magic analysis of graphics, it is a subject with traces to follow, which makes Maka really interested.

But arithmetic and divination usually need a lot of complex calculus, and a lot of formulas make Maka feel like taking an advanced mathematics course that deviated academically.

But in any case, arithmetic divination class is obviously more to Maka's appetite than divination class.

But just when Maka was going to give up the divination class, he inadvertently remembered a sentence from Professor Trelawney when he began his class.

"You chose divination, which is the most difficult course in all magical arts. I must warn you from the beginning: if you don't have 'vision', there will be very few things I can teach you. In this regard, books can only take you so far..."

Yes, divination is undoubtedly a subject that attaches great importance to talent, and this "talent" comes from the extension of blood.

But this has nothing to do with the pure blood theory of the wizard family. The "Horizon" of divination starts from the awakening of a similar atavistic phenomenon, which has nothing to do with the purity of blood.

It was this speculation that made Maka decide to continue the course that made him "unable to understand" and try to find some clues for reference from Professor Trelawney.

In addition, Hagrid's course on protecting magical creatures is closely followed.

Just yesterday, Malfoy was injured in Hagrid's class, and it soon spread in Slytherin college. Malfoy and his two stupid attendants worked hard to spread everywhere, trying to stink Hagrid's name.

"Hagrid, are you all right?"

By Hagrid's cabin, some students of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw gathered in the open space, waiting for others who hadn't arrived yet.

Marca came to Hagrid and spoke to him.

"Oh, I think so. It's OK."

Hagrid obviously looked a little depressed. After all, something went wrong in the first class, which was not a good thing.

"Don't worry! It's not a big deal..." Maka said, "but seriously, the winged animals of the Gryphon horse are classified at 3x level. I don't think they are suitable for the first class in grade 3, aren't they?"

"But... But they're interesting," Hagrid argued weakly. "And they're beautiful, don't you think?"
