Chapter 116
Snape walked into the principal's office at an untimely moment. When he saw Dumbledore, who was very unhappy with a stern face, he instantly felt happy, thinking that Harry Potter would finally be expelled, even if he wasn't expelled Gryffindor becomes Gryffindor too
"You don't need to talk about Harry, I have received Percy's letter, and I have already understood the cause and effect." Just when everyone (except Joshua) thought that Professor Dumbledore would severely punish him, he suddenly showed kindness smile.
"I have seen courage and faith in you, which makes me very gratified, but I still want to tell you that if you encounter any troubles that cannot be solved, you must notify the professor as soon as possible, instead of being reckless ignorance."
Dumbledore walked in front of the children, revealing the legacy of his ancestors, instantly affecting everyone's hearts, excluding Joshua of course, and Snape who looked surprised.
This is the second time he has shown such an expression today, and the number of surprises today is more than the whole year of last year.
"Okay kids, pack up, the start-of-school dinner is about to begin!" Dumbledore patted Mr. Weasley on the shoulder affectionately and said, "Arthur, you are their father, you have to learn to be an adult, not to As reckless as today."
At the long tables of the four colleges during the dinner, the students were more or less discussing one thing. It seemed that Harry, Ron, and the Weasley twins chose not to take the Hogwarts Express. Driving a car into Hogwarts recklessly.
Especially on the Gryffindor side, many people are complaining about the four of them, and some even insult them, because these little lions think that they will deduct a lot of points from Gryffindor. to begin.
These words came in from Joshua's left ear and came out from his right ear. He didn't intend to defend Harry and the others. He knew that even if he really tried to defend, very few people would be able to listen.
There is not a sentence that once described: human indifference is nothing but Gryffindor.
He sort of realized that even though Harry and Ron had contributed a lot to the Academy Cup last school year, they seemed to have completely forgotten about it in the next school year.
"Joshua, are Harry and the others okay?" Neville, who had a pure and straightforward personality, was different from the others. When he didn't see the four of them appearing at the dinner, he was particularly worried about whether they would be expelled.
Joshua patted Neville on the shoulder, signaled him to be relieved with his eyes, and said, "Don't worry, they were just punished by Professor McGonagall to carry the students' luggage. They will probably be back soon after the dinner begins."
Hermione, who was sitting on the other side, heard the words, with an angry face on her face, "You boys are always reckless, so can't you learn Professor Lockhart's elegant manners?"
Hermione was still holding Lockhart's autobiography "I Can Be Magical" in her hand. Like other girls, she looked at Lockhart on the teaching staff from time to time, with joy and excitement on her face.
Joshua felt a little sour in his heart, and vowed in his heart that he must give Lockhart a little color in the days to come. One was to retaliate against the anger in his heart, and at the same time, he wanted to confirm whether Lockhart was really is an embroidered pillow.
When the sorting began, because Professor McGonagall was supervising the four of Harry, the person who presided over the sorting ceremony was Professor Flitwick. He moved a tall and big chair, and put a few books on it. Barely able to put the sorting hat on the students' heads.
"Luna Lovegood." Following Professor Flitwick's words, Luna sat on the bench.
"Ravenclaw!" As the Sorting Hat shouted, the Ravenclaw table burst into applause.
But Hermione, who was looking around, had a sad face. She originally thought that Luna would come to Gryffindor like her. Although the ideal is beautiful, the reality is always not satisfactory.
Percy and Ginny were taken to Hogwarts Castle by Professor Sprout, so Ginny was honored not to miss the sorting ceremony like her other brothers.
"Gryffindor!" When the Sorting Hat called out loudly, the little girl Ginny rushed to the long table of Gryffindor happily, but she looked around and did not find the person she was expecting, so she sat down depressed. By Percy's side.
"Be quiet!" Dumbledore stood up and signaled everyone to be quiet.
All the girls in the auditorium held their breath. Although they already knew it, they still couldn't control Nai's excitement at the moment. Gilderoy Lockhart became their professor, which meant that in all the days that followed, They can all surround Lockhart closely.
"I'm honored to introduce your ship's new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Professor Gilderoy Lockhart!" After speaking, Dumbledore clapped his palms and gave warm applause, as did the entire auditorium.
When Dumbledore introduced him, Lockhart got up from the staff seat and waved to all the students in the auditorium.
At the beginning, Joshua thought that Lockhart, who likes to distract others, would choke Lao Deng, and then introduce himself gorgeously, but from now on, he seems to be jealous of Dumbledore. Joshua sitting in the auditorium Stared into Lockhart's eyes.
He found that Lockhart seemed a little afraid of Dumbledore, and when he shook hands with him, his figure seemed a little stiff, not as comfortable as usual.
This ignited the curiosity in Joshua's heart. He suspected that the relationship between Lockhart and Dumbledore was not simple. Lockhart, who was born in Ravenclaw, was trash, but he couldn't be so absurd and funny. You know The Forgetting Curse is a very profound spell, it is not as simple as just erasing memories.
The Oblivion Charm can also modify the memory of others, and the use of the Oblivion Charm is also regulated by the Ministry of Magic.
It seems that in order to find out the truth, I still have to work hard.
When the dinner started, and various foods appeared on the long tables of the four colleges, Harry, Ron, and the Weasley twins dragged their tired bodies to the auditorium.
As a punishment, when moving the students' luggage, McGonagall did not allow them to use any spells and magic items, and just stood by and watched, which made them very uncomfortable, but they had no choice but to think desperately. Hurry up and finish the task, because they haven't eaten anything since noon.
Ron sat on the long table in Gryffindor, ignoring everything, grabbed the big chicken legs on the dinner plate one by one, as if forgetting the fatigue of his arms, and gnawed crazily.
But after a while, several chicken leg bones had accumulated in front of him, and Ron hiccupped in satisfaction, but at this moment, he found that many people on the Gryffindor long table were looking at him with strange eyes. watching them.
This made Ron a bit puzzled and poked Harry asking "What's wrong with them. Why are they looking at us like that?"
