"Maybe you've seen it on the change today, but you must still have some doubts. While the new students have not been divided into classes, I'd like to introduce you in particular - transfer student, Marca McLean."
In the auditorium of demstrom castle, a regular school welcome dinner is being held.
This is a large auditorium no smaller than Hogwarts auditorium. Although the furnishings on the four walls are very simple, they are as meticulous as demstrom's school management concept.
The school emblem and banners composed of extinct two headed water birds and sheep horn skeletons are neatly arranged on the walls on both sides. Although they are not fancy, they have extraordinary momentum.
But on the back wall facing the gate, there is only an ancient long wand carved with a black round shield badge on the background, which makes people wonder.
The atmosphere of demstrom's dinner is also quite different from that of Hogwarts. The dining tables here are placed horizontally. Everyone sits neatly in a fixed position, only the sound of tableware collision and deliberately lowered whisper.
At the front, in addition to the dining table of the faculty, there is a large platform half a person high. At present, it is still empty.
It can be seen that under kakarov's cold teaching policy, the students' personality has been suppressed.
At the moment, kakarov's words made the whispers below a little messy.
Quidditch World Cup and other events had an influence on demstrom, who had many fans. At that time, there were a large number of students and even teachers at the competition site.
The name "Marca McLean" is not well known, but it is not much different.
"... then, please enter the freshmen!"
As soon as kakarov's voice fell, the door of the auditorium opened. The freshmen, led by Makarov, walked slowly to the teaching and staff seat in front of the hall.
"Headmaster, is that all right?"
At this time, a thin male teacher with a bent back suddenly asked.
Kakarov frowned, a little impatient and said, "of course, no problem, Orson."
The other teachers just looked at them and didn't say much. In their view, it is the most appropriate choice not to argue with kakarov.
The old wizard who didn't know whether his surname was "Orson" or his name was "Orson" opened his mouth, but finally shook his head and ate the food on his plate.
In front of the auditorium, the freshmen lined up with Maka and stood in front of the teaching staff with a little uneasiness.
Most of them haven't eaten yet. Now they have started eating in the auditorium, and several little wizards' stomachs are growling.
"McLean, you are different from other freshmen. You are a transfer student, and you should be promoted to the fourth grade next... But I hope you know that there is a big difference between our school and Hogwarts in terms of teaching arrangement alone."
Kakaroffton paused and then said, "the freshmen enrolled in our school will be taught by students freely selected by each teacher, and each student also has the right to change his teacher at any time - the number of times you can change will be determined by the credits you get."
Yes, credits!
This is a very interesting rule in demstrom: in this school, many resources can be exchanged for credits, including library borrowing, potion materials, various magic props and so on.
It is said that this is a key school regulation launched by the second principal of the school, "Hafang Monte".
The president, who established the tradition of dueling and fighting magic in demstrom college, built the way for students to obtain credits on the strength of each little wizard.
Whether you get personal ranking in the duel competition three times a semester, group ranking in the class competition at the end of each academic year, or even Invitational duel because of various personal grievances - you can get corresponding credits as long as you win in the venues and rules stipulated by the University.
It has to be said that when Maka learned about this provision in Krum's mouth, he immediately had a strong interest in this highly competitive teaching model.
"Teachers, who wants McClane, a transfer student?" kakarov asked very directly to the teachers sitting on both sides of him.
However, the teachers who had been staring at Maka since the beginning were silent.
Maka made a big fuss at the world cup and made headlines against the British Ministry of magic. Now who dares to accept such a prick as a student?
It is said that he also made a hand with Dumbledore. Although it seems that he didn't succeed, even if he retreated in Dumbledore's hand, it was an amazing achievement.
To be honest, will he be beaten when he is a teacher?
If someone asks kakarov that, he will tell you - the boy may use his right hand to "kill you", but his left hand will punch you hard in the face!
Seeing that the teachers were all looking like "don't look for me about this", Maka shrugged and extended her hand to the "Orson" who had just spoken.
"Professor Orson, would you like to teach me?"
Orson was stunned. He looked at kakarov and other teachers around him. Finally, he hesitated and nodded.
"Then learn from me..."
Suddenly, some students below stared - obviously, those should be Orson's existing students.
Then, after the freshmen were also selected by a kind of teacher, the dinner was officially started. Maka saw that kakarov didn't seem to have any plans to arrange seats for herself, so she simply found an empty seat in the back and sat down.
The meal was quiet, and he could feel that the students didn't want to be too close to him. A little fat man beside him even moved his chair to make room for Maka.
On Marca's right, the little witch who looked weak didn't move, but her head was getting lower and lower, and the tip of her nose was almost rubbing against the vegetable salad on the plate.
It doesn't matter that Marca is ignored, but he seems to scare the little girl.
……
Compared with demstrom college, the atmosphere of Hogwarts welcome dinner is much hotter.
At this moment, Dumbledore began his speech in the hall of Hogwarts
"All right!" said Dumbledore, looking at everyone with a smile. "Now that we are full, I must ask you to pay attention again. I want to announce a few notices."
"Mr. filch, the gatekeeper, wants me to tell you that this year, several items have been added to the forbidden items in the castle. They are screaming swim balls, flying saucers with teeth and combo boomerangs... The whole list includes about 437 items, which can be seen in Mr. Filch's office and can be checked by interested people."
You can notice that Dumbledore's mouth seemed to twitch a few times.
He continued: "as before, I would like to remind you that students are not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest on the other side of the site, and all students below grade 3 are not allowed to visit Hogsmeade village."
"I also regret to tell you that the Quidditch College Cup will not be held this year."
Everyone couldn't help but burst into uproar.
Dumbledore continued: "this is because a large-scale event will start in October and last for the whole school year, occupying a lot of teachers' time and energy - but I believe you can have a lot of fun. I am very happy to announce to you that this year at Hogwarts --"
Just then, a deafening thunder sounded from the clouds outside the castle, and the door was roughly pushed open.
A man was standing at the door, leaning on a long crutch and wrapped in a black travel cloak. All the people in the auditorium turned their heads to look at the stranger. Suddenly another forked lightning flashed across the ceiling, and Hermione took a breath of air-conditioning.
The lightning made the man's face so clear that the students could not help shrinking their heads, because we had never seen such a face.
It is like carving on a piece of rotten wood. If it is described in one word, it is "incomplete".
Every inch of the skin on that face seems to be scarred, the mouth is like a big crooked hole, but the place where the nose should be raised is missing.
And the most frightening thing about this man is his eyes.
One of his eyes was very small, but it was shining with a sharp light; The other eye is big, round like a coin, and it is a bright blue with faint light.
The blue eye didn't blink, but kept moving in the eye socket, rotating up, down, left and right, which had nothing to do with the direction of the normal eye - later, the blue eye suddenly turned over and turned into the man's eye socket, leaving only a big white eye in the eye socket.
The man leaned on his crutch, one foot deep and one foot shallow, but he came to Dumbledore very quickly. He held out a hand, which was as scarred as his face.
Dumbledore shook hands with him and whispered something. He seemed to be asking the man something. The strange man shook his head expressionless and answered in a low voice.
Dumbledore nodded and motioned for the man to sit in an empty seat on his right.
The stranger sat down, shook his head, shook his long gray hair from his face, then pulled a plate of sausage and held it up to his incomplete nose. He took a knife out of his pocket, poked it into one end of a sausage and ate it.
His normal eye stared at the sausage, but his blue eye still kept turning around in his eye socket, looking at the auditorium and his classmates.
"Allow me to introduce our new defense against the dark arts teacher," Dumbledore happily broke the silence, "Professor moody."
Normally, when a new teacher meets everyone, everyone will applaud, but now no teacher or student applauds except Dumbledore and Hagrid.
No, surprisingly, there is another person, Hermione!
