Chapter 386: Dinner

After the carriage moved, Hermione turned her gaze forward. As a result, she was surprised to see some animals standing between the empty rods. They look a bit like reptiles, and their heads look like dragons. They had no flesh at all, the black fur was tightly attached to the skeleton, and each bone was clearly visible. Eyes without pupils are white, staring intently. Bat-like wings grew out of the shoulder bones.
"I really don't understand that these carriages used to be able to walk on their own before. Why did they use these terrible black winged horses to pull them this year?" Hermione told Ryan. She thought these animals looked a bit scary and didn't know why the school Use them to pull carts for students.
"I think they should always be here. The reason you haven't seen them before is because they are Ye Qi." Ryan explained.
"Ye Qi? Wait, I have an impression. Will people who have seen death see them?" Hermione nodded thoughtfully. "I think it would be a good thing to see them in this situation now, at least in this respect. Be prepared. Unfortunately, there will be more and more little wizards who can see them in the future."
When Qi Qi drove into Hogwarts and stopped in front of the castle, Lane and quickly jumped off the carriage and entered the hall. The hall was very warm, Ryan and they found Harry Ron and Ginny sitting together in the middle of Gryffindor's table, and they sat down in the empty space opposite them.
"Ryan, I saw a strange creature in front of the carriage, but neither Ron nor Ginny saw it. Do you know what's going on?" Ryan hurried over and asked as soon as he sat down. En Hagini also listened with her ears raised.
"Cedric didn't hang up last year." Ryan's first reaction was actually thinking of this, only to recall later that he slaughtered Crouch and Peter in front of Harry last year, and he had also seen death. So Ryan repeated what she had just told Hermione in the carriage.
After helping Halekop, Ryan looked at the staff bench. Hagrid went to the giants this year, which can be seen without the extra-large chair on the staff bench. Other than that, the other professors are doing business as usual.
The only newcomer was Umbridge, who was short and fat, with short fisted gray-brown hair, and a very ugly pink bow tied with her plush stuffed robes. The pink cardigan matches well. But seriously, her age is really not suitable for this girlish style.
Wearing a dark purple robe full of silver stars and a matching hat, Dumbledore sat on a golden high-back chair next to her, tilting his head to Umbridge, and Umbridge was facing his Ears speak.
At this time, Professor Grapland came out from the small door behind the staff bench, walked to the end of the table, and sat on the seat where Hagrid was originally sitting. That said, the first-year freshmen must have crossed the lake to the castle.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, the door to the hall opened, and a long line of seemingly shocked first-year freshmen led into the auditorium by Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall had a stool in his hand and put an old wizard hat on it. The hat was patched and patched, and it was frayed with a wide crack beside the brim.
The buzzing conversation in the auditorium gradually subsided. The first-year freshmen lined up in front of the faculty desk, facing students in other grades. Professor McGonagall carefully placed the stool in front of them, and then stepped back.
The teachers and students of the school were holding their breath and waiting. Then, the rip beside the brim opened like a mouth, and the branch hat sang this year's song. "... Oh, know the danger, read the signs, and warn us from the lessons of history. Our Hogwarts is in danger. The enemies outside the school are watching. Our internal must be closely united, otherwise everything will collapse from within. ... "
The hat said nothing. Applause rang out, but there were whispers in between, because this year ’s branch cap song was unusual, and I usually only introduce the sources of the four colleges and the reasons for the branch. This time the branch cap directly warned that the students present had never encountered it before.
Fortunately, the ghosts know something. Nick, who has no head, tells them that the branch hats will feel morally responsible for warning the school appropriately. This has happened in history, but it is not a good thing. sign.
"The dark clouds crush the city! I only hope that this time I will die fewer people than before." Lane thought silently. At this time, Professor McGonagall made a list of first-year freshmen, and everyone's attention was quickly diverted, and the buzz in the auditorium stopped abruptly. Professor McGonagall frowned and glanced at the four tables, then looked down at the long parchment in his hand and declared the first name aloud. "Juan Abercrombie."
Slowly, the long first-year freshman team was shortened a little bit, and the four colleges had already accepted many freshmen. Finally, Rose Zeller was divided into Hufflepuff. Professor McGonagall took the hat and The stool strode away, when Professor Dumbledore stood up to announce the start of the dinner.
The dinner was still as plentiful as ever, and after dinner, Dumbledore began to arrange things as he did in previous years. But Umbridge interrupted with a cough while speaking.
Ryan observed her face only at this time. It can only be said that compared with the film, the film actors selected at that time were absolutely beautified. The real Umbridge has a pale, toad-like face and a pair of eyes with loose eyelids and protruding eyes. It is extremely uncomfortable after reading.
And her voice was high, sharp, and with an air, like a little girl's voice, which further deepened her level of nausea. And her tone of treating all students as a five-year-old child attracted all the students' disgust, but she didn't mind at all and began to recite a speech in a rigid tone.
"" The Ministry of Magic has always believed that educating young wizards is a very important thing. Some of your innate talents, if not cultivated and exercised under careful and meticulous guidance ~ EbookFREE.me ~ may be fruitless. The ancient skills unique to the magic world must be passed down from generation to generation, otherwise they will disappear— "
This kind of non-nutritive words quickly made everyone lose interest, and the little wizards' attention began to gradually distract. Compared to the silent silence when Professor Dumbledore spoke, the auditorium is now noisier.
"--Let us continue to advance, enter a new era of enlightenment, high efficiency and reasonableness, resolutely maintain what should be maintained, perfect what needs to be improved, and abandon those that we should prohibit." The long and boring speech after ten minutes finally ended. Dumbledore applauded politely, and the other teachers clapped a few times. Because most students are thinking a little bit differently, only a few people applaud.
"This guy is the one who destroyed the dementors in front of a bunch of jury members." Harry said to Ryan, "Yeah, what did she just say? It sounds like a lot of nonsense to me."
"There is something very important hidden in nonsense," Ryan said. "It seems that the lesson for the Ministry of Magic during the holiday is still not enough. Their goal is now to want to fight Dumbledore in an all-round way, and even extend their dirty hands to the school in."
Harry and Ron had an unconscious expression, but Ryan was too late to explain to them. There was a collision of tables, chairs and benches around him. Apparently Dumbledore had announced the dissolution of the school's teachers and students because everyone stood up and left the auditorium.
"We should go to the first-year freshman and we will see you later." Ryan then stood up with Hermione and started shouting, "First-year freshman! Come here to gather."
Harry and Ron saw that they were so busy, they could only temporarily abandon the root of the idea and shrugged to the direction of Gryffindor Tower.
