Chapter 263：

Could something happen to them?

Hermione was a little confused. She was John's first friend, and at the same time, John was also her first friend.

They both have a special place in each other's hearts, and she doesn't want to see that happen.

Distraught, Hermione saw Ron filling her mouth again. She was so angry that she couldn't help but pick up the book and throw it at him.

Ron was hit inexplicably. Even so, he still had difficulty swallowing the food.

…

The dinner party is over.

The students had enough to eat and drink.

The young werewolf in the werewolf community, Severn was assigned to Ravenclaw, and he was indeed the smartest among the children.

Ais was sorted into Gryffindor, and another little werewolf entered Hufflepuff.

They were not assigned together, but it is not a regret.

Little Jack invited the werewolf students assigned to Hufflepuff to sit together.

After a year of getting along, Little Jack's identity as a werewolf has not been exposed.

Except for the invitation he receives from the astronomy professor to watch the stars during the full moon, he is no different from an ordinary student.

Professor Sprout liked this sensible child very much. Little Jack had a special talent in herbal medicine.

Perhaps it was the experience of living in the wild that made him take good care of various herbs.

Dumbledore stood up and spoke again.

It's still the same old talk, about those parts of the Forbidden Forest that are not allowed to enter, and about Filch's request not to use magic in the corridors.

As for the latter one, John wondered if it was Filch who suggested it.

After all, one of the fun things Filch has now is to catch a student and let him run for ten seconds.

If you can outrun Filch, you might be able to escape a confinement penalty.

Unfortunately, no one has ever done it so far.

Filch can always be cool and catch escaping students at superhuman speed.

"This year, our teaching team has changed."

…

Chapter 288 Fifth grade and new professor

"Our Professor of Care of Magical Creatures needs to leave for a period of time due to some matters. During this time, Professor Graplan will be conducting classes."

After Dumbledore finished speaking, there was not very warm applause from below, as well as Harry's voice of relief.

Harry said thankfully: "I knew Hagrid would be fine."

He believed what Dumbledore said. It might have been Dumbledore who sent Hagrid out.

As long as Hagrid is not fired, everything will be fine.

He still had a worry. After all, he didn't say how long Graplan would be teaching.

Dumbledore continued, "We are also pleased to introduce Professor Hilde, our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."

There was a warm applause in the auditorium. After all, who doesn't like beautiful teachers.

Among the professors who are not young, Oz Hilde is so unique.

Her beautiful face made every young boy's heart skip a beat.

John also clapped.

Daphne stared at Oz's face, not knowing what she was thinking.

"She's an Auror." Harry whispered, "I saw her at the Ministry of Magic, and she was with Johnny Silverhand's people."

"Auror?" Ron was a little confused, "What's going on with Johnny Silverhand?"

"I don't know, Johnny Silverhand's people seem to be friends with her." Harry was not sure, after all, they had only met once.

That time, he was also dazzled by Johnny Silverhand.

Hao scattered coins inhumanely, making his small treasury look like a beggar's den.

Since his debut, this is the first time Harry has seen such a person.

The people he comes into contact with are basically poorer than him.

Needless to say, the Weasley family basically wanders around among used items.

Hermione, she can be said to be rich in the Muggle world, but in the magical world she cannot be said to be rich, not poor.

Dumbledore was rich, but he basically had no place to spend it.

Godfather Sirius also had money and gave him a Firebolt. Harry didn't have a specific amount of his assets.

The people from the Order of the Phoenix are left.

Lupine, poor.

Tonks, who had just become an Auror, was poor.

Kingsley, I’m not familiar with it, so I don’t know.

Moody, you should be rich, but you have bought a looking glass, and you are still so unkempt.

So when Johnny Silverhand throws coins in front of everyone, and one scatter is equivalent to half a year's salary of Mr. Weasley, it can be seen how rich he is.

Especially when people say that building a hospital is like buying groceries.

Originally, he thought that this hospital would have to wait until next year, but the Weasley twins told him that the hospital had been built and put into use.

The main targets are the wizards in Knockturn Alley and the werewolf community.

I heard that there is something called medical insurance. As long as you apply for it, you will enjoy discounts on hospitalization in the future.

But this thing is only available in the above two places. The Weasley twins also thought about whether to live in a werewolf community.

As soon as this idea came up, Mrs. Weasley scolded her.

They had to give up and regretted why they didn't open a shop in Knockturn Alley.

Yes, their store.

The place has been chosen and construction has begun.

Harry wanted to sponsor them. During the last Triwizard Tournament, Harry and Cedric arrived at the same time.

There is no monitoring in the magic world, so in the end the two of them had to win the first place together.

In a dramatic scene, it was Dumbledore who suggested that the prize be divided equally.

Even so, there is also a large and generous bonus.

And the gamble made a huge profit, because basically no one expected the possibility of double first place.

A group of people wailed, but they did not refund the money.

Because on the betting page, there are really several championship options, and the multipliers are very attractive.

It’s just that no one placed a bet, and in the end Johnny Silverhand got the better of him.

This incident was also unexpected by John.

Thinking that this new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor might have some connection with Johnny Silverhand, Harry became wary.

He did not forget that Johnny Silverhand was hostile to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore over there continued to speak, "And we welcome a special friend, Ms. Umbridge."

After finishing speaking, there was sparse applause in the auditorium, and no one seemed to welcome this friend.

Umbridge's face darkened and she glanced at Oz viciously.

John was not surprised, Umbridge was not doing well.

Dumbledore wanted to say something else, but was deliberately interrupted by Umbridge.

When John saw it, he secretly exclaimed that this person was the right person, he was so brave.

Anyone else would have dared to interrupt Dumbledore.

Dumbledore wisely gave way to Umbridge, and Umbridge started to talk a lot.

Malfoy almost fell asleep when he heard this, and the students had a confused look on their faces.

I am used to Dumbledore's short and concise speeches, but I can't stand this kind of nonsense that is both hypocritical and nutritious.

"The Ministry of Magic has always believed that educating young wizards is a very important matter..."

"The previous principals of Hogwarts have all made innovations when shouldering the important task of managing this historic school..."

"Because some changes have achieved good results, and other changes have come at the right time..."

"Perfect what needs to be perfected and abandon what we should ban."

Finally, Umbridge finally finished.

The students’ eyes were blank and they applauded belatedly.

After Dumbledore added some more, he finally freed them.

Malfoy couldn't wait to leave, but was stopped by Daphne very unkindly, "Do you want me to go back alone with the new students?"

Almost forgetting that he was a prefect, Malfoy smiled and turned around to see that John had disappeared.

"I'm so glad that Umbridge isn't the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

Ron let out an exaggerated sigh of relief. It was too nagging and not nutritious at all.

He wanted the beautiful Professor Hilde more than that pink toad.

Hermione was very heavy because the Ministry of Magic was involved in the management of the school.

This is not good news. After hearing the Ministry of Magic's plans from Harry, Hermione thought Dumbledore would be prepared.

Now it seems that Dumbledore did not stop these things.

Harry also looked confused. He knew it was not a good thing, but he didn't know how bad it was.

Hermione and Ron were taking the freshmen to the dormitory. When Harry got up, he saw Neville and greeted him.

"Neville."

After knowing that Neville's parents were members of the Order of the Phoenix like his own parents, Harry smiled kindly at him.

Neville rubbed his head and responded to Harry, thinking more about waiting to go to the Star Club.

John informed that they, the members of the Star Club on campus, were going over.

…

Star Club.

The desolation of the holidays did not make this place covered with dust. On the contrary, it was still spotless.

The runes floating in the air looked like elves, and the first one to come over was Neville.

Like John, he was not held back by any position.

"Neville, how are your parents?" John waved his hand, and a silver cup appeared in front of Neville.

Neville looked grateful. Thanks to John, his parents could wake up.

"Everything is fine, but..."

Neville hesitated for a moment and said, "Someone invited them to return to an organization, the Order of the Phoenix."

"Your parents agreed?"

"They are still hesitant." Neville said, "They were very excited when they heard that Voldemort was not dead."

"They want to contribute again, but their health is not good yet."
