"Peeves, I warn you—" Professor McGonagall came as late as a police force in a gangster movie, but she stopped halfway through her shouting, because she had witnessed Peeves being slapped by a bells and whistles. The whole process of hitting the big balloon upside down and flying out.
It really flew out backwards.
The sound of the heavy object colliding with the flesh echoed in the Hogwarts foyer, and it hurt to hear it.
Professor McGonagall was silent: This is not what she thought!
She thought the students were being tricked by Peeves, but who would have thought that the students seemed to be fighting Peeves back and forth?
Peeves turned several somersaults in mid-air to stabilize his figure. He held the ice puck and lowered his broad face, with fireworks of vengeance flashing in his eyes.
However, Tom, Hermione, and Cedric raised their wands at the same time and pointed the tip of the wand at it, which made Peeves dare not act rashly. In addition, Professor McGonagall had already rushed over, and in the end it could only hold the puck and curse. flew away.
"Twenty points for Ravenclaw and ten points for Hufflepuff." Professor McGonagall immediately rewarded the three who successfully stopped Peeves.
"Okay, come into the auditorium." She gave an order to the students who were stuck in the hall. When the four of them walked past her, a smile finally revealed on her stern face: "A great combination of spells."
"Thank you for the compliment." Tom was also very satisfied with the operation just now, and then walked into the auditorium with his classmates.
The Great Hall at Hogwarts was as splendid as ever, and it was specially decorated for the new semester, and everything had a new look.
After entering the auditorium, the three separated, Cedric walked towards the long Hufflepuff table, Tom and Hermione found two seats at the Ravenclaw table and sat down, Qiu Zhang sat there beside them.
After being seated, Tom looked at the staff seat and found that there were only two vacant seats, one for Hagrid, who was crossing the lake with the first-year freshmen, and the other for Professor McGonagall, who was packing up. The mess that Peeves left behind.
Most of the remaining faculty members were familiar faces: Professor Flitwick, sitting on the cushion, next to Professor Sprout, and the two were chatting with Professor Sinista, who taught astronomy. Next to Professor Sinista is Snape, next to Snape is the vacant seat belonging to Professor McGonagall, and Professor McGonagall is next to Dumbledore. Tom noticed that Dumbledore was staring motionless at the ceiling, as if thinking about something.
The only raw face on the bench was the man on Dumbledore's right hand. This man also caught the eyes of most of the students in the auditorium. Every inch of skin on his face was scarred, his mouth was slanted, the tip of his nose disappeared, and he wore a magic eye.
Tom knew just by looking at this face that this man was the legendary Mad-Eye Moody. At this moment, Moody was constantly scanning the corners of the auditorium with his eyes, and at the same time examining every student who entered the auditorium. The students in the audience also whispered unceremoniously, passing gossip about the new professor to each other.
This Moody, it should be real, right? Tom suddenly had this idea. The only person under Voldemort who can afford to go undercover should be little Crouch. If Moody is replaced, it's impossible for them to not know about it - of course, if Dumbledore is going to fish, maybe it's also possible.
After Voldemort's resurrection, he didn't make much noise, which made people have to be vigilant.
Finally, the door of the auditorium opened again, Hagrid walked in with the freshmen who had been drenched in soup, and Professor McGonagall stood in front of the staff seat with a triangle stool and sorting hat, ready for the sorting ceremony.
After listening to a brand new sorting song, the sorting ceremony began. Tom, like every Ravenclaw student, greeted the new Ravenclaw with a round of applause.
Finally, with Kevin Witby being sorted into Hufflepuff, the sorting ceremony finally came to an end. At this time, Tom was already very hungry.
"Fortunately, there aren't too many students in the magic world. If there are hundreds of them at a time, I'm going to starve to death." He lowered his voice and complained to Hermione.
Hermione rolled her eyes: "You can't starve to death by eating an hour or two late!"
After the sorting ceremony, Dumbledore stood up. Like all Headmasters, Dumbledore was to speak at the opening ceremony. But those who knew him did not show impatient expressions, because they knew that Dumbledore would not let people wait on an empty stomach.
Sure enough, Dumbledore only said one thing to eat: "Eat it!"
The empty plate in front of him was suddenly filled with food. Tom happily put all kinds of pleasing food into his plate. Although it was all despairing British cuisine, he knew there would be Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students coming to Hogwarts this year, so the fancy potato dishes in front of him didn't spoil his mood.
Not to mention a Nordic school like Durmstrang, Beauxbatons is in southern France, and the Hogwarts kitchen will definitely provide a very hearty French meal.
On the faculty bench, Mad-Eye Moody was eating the food in front of him very carefully. He had to check almost every dish before putting it in his mouth. He also refused to use the knife and fork provided by Hogwarts, wine glass.
His strange behavior attracted the attention of most students What a weird person. Sitting next to Hermione, Qiu Zhang watched Moody push away the pumpkin juice in front of him, took a sip from a curved wine bottle from his cloak, and couldn't help but complain. Hermione groaned.
"No way, he's been through too much." Tom still wanted to say something nice for Moody, "He's always been on the front lines of fighting the dark wizards, and he just retired a few years ago - his complete After the Wizarding War, it is said that he captured half of Azkaban's Death Eaters."
Listening to Tom's introduction to Moody, the attitude of the people around him changed immediately.
"The scars on his body are all left by the dark wizards. It is normal for him to become a little sensitive - and the focus of your attention is skewed. As a former Auror, Moody should have come to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Our Defence Against the Dark Arts this school year must have been fantastic."
Hearing Tom say this, everyone got excited.
After the dessert also disappeared from the plate, Professor Dumbledore stood up again. He first announced a few announcements, and then introduced Mad-Eye Moody to everyone.
In the end, he said in a regretful tone: "I want to tell everyone with great regret that this year's College Cup Quidditch match has been cancelled."
A pot exploded in the auditorium.
