Vol 3 Chapter 489: Hogwarts' new principal

When Professor Minerva McGonagall walked to the white marble tomb, everyone present was quiet.
After quietly listening to her eulogy to Albus Dumbledore--
But as she uttered the phrase "Hogwarts will also usher in its future", the whispering voice sounded again. Many people, including many Hogwarts students, several professors, and the officials of the Ministry of Magic, began to whisper to each other, guessing the meaning of Professor McGonagall's words.
Professor McGonagall seemed to disagree, and began to speak in her tone so serious that there was no emotion:
"In the summer of 990 AD, the four greatest wizards in Britain at that time: Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hufflepuff Odd, they came to this land under our feet. In their era, Muggles were extremely afraid of magic, and many witches and wizards were persecuted, especially those underage wizards who could not master their abilities..."
"... The four founders decided to establish an academy that belongs only to the wizards themselves, away from the prying eyes of the Muggles, and protect and teach the minor wizards who cannot master their abilities. Hogwarts has since been taken Once established, the four colleges of the school are named after them..."
"... Hogwarts inheritance lasted for nearly a thousand years. After a thousand years, the castle on this campus already possesses his unique consciousness and wisdom. It will actively choose its own helm, its own Inheritor, own guardian. Hogwarts will choose its principal..."
"From Brian Gegveld in 1032 AD, he was the first principal appointed by Hogwarts... to Phineas Black in 1872, and Armando Di in 1926 AD Pat, then to Albus Dumbledore in 1943..."
"And now in 1997, Professor Albus Dumbledore, the last helm so far, has left us forever. Prior to this, Hogwarts also elected its new helm!"
"Is that you, Professor McGonagall!" Rita Skeeter stood up anxiously, seeming to be excited that she had caught a big news: "You mean, you said that you will take over the new job. Headmaster Gerwarts?"
Her pale green shorthand quill began to swipe the notebook quickly and automatically.
"No, it's not me." Professor McGonagall shook his head indifferently: "Hogwarts did not give my principal the authority...The new principal it chose was Jon Hart!"
On Rita Skeeter's face with a big jaw, her mouth opened suddenly.
Obviously, as a journalist with a keen sense of smell, she naturally knows who Jon Hart is... In fact, she came to Hogwarts today, in addition to attending Albus Dumbledore’s funeral. In order to interview this "boy who survived a catastrophe" who escaped from the mysterious man...
But now, she suddenly realized that the "news" of Hogwarts was more shocking than she thought.
At the same time, only a "bang" was heard.
Rita Skeeter's light green automatic shorthand quill exploded with excitement, breaking into several pieces.
...
Unlike Rita Skeeter, most of the wizards present did not know the name "Jon Hart".
The memory of the masses is always short. Maybe they had heard of the name two years ago-the youngest participant in the history of the Triwizard Tournament, the warrior representing Hogwarts, and was finally brutally killed by a mysterious man.
But two years are enough to obliterate many things...
"Who is Jon Hart...is it a foreign wizard?" For example, Rufus Scrimgeour discussed with the minister there: "Why don't I have a deep impression of this name?"
Of course, many people still remember the name
"Jon?" Harry Potter was stunned, and his mouth grew wide: "This is impossible..."
"Could it be that Professor McGonagall is joking?" Ron looked around in an incredible way, looking for the face: "Today is not April Fool's Day... Professor McGonagall is not the kind of character who likes to joke either!"
"I knew..." Hermione Granger first showed a triumphant expression, but after a few seconds, his eyes changed from excitement to dullness: "But... he is not even 17 years old..."
The situation on Hufflepuff's side is no different--
Not as usual, after a Hufflepuff student achieved results, they were happy and celebrating--
These poor children looked at each other one by one, and finally focused on Jon.
"Is this true, is it Jon?" Hannah Abbot asked in a low voice.
"Although it is a little unbelievable, it seems to be..." Ernie McMillan whispered with an expression of disbelief: "I have never heard Professor McGonagall joking, especially at such a solemn moment..."
"God, Pomona!" Professor Flitwick could not help taking off his hat and scratching his head: "Could it be... the Hart of your college? Just returned to Hogwarts a few days ago. The one?"
"It seems to be!" Professor Sprout nodded in a daze: "But this is ridiculous!"
"I think so too!" Professor Flitwick agreed.
"Did you already know, Astoria!" Daphne Greengrass was sluggish for a moment, then turned her gaze to her unchanging sister.
"Yeah." Astoria Greengrass nodded.
The expression on Daphne's face looked extremely complicated.
"No wonder... he is really amazing..." she said in a mosquito-like voice.
The surrounding area of ​​the cemetery is like a vegetable market.
All the wizards are eagerly discussing ~EbookFREE.me~ Some are discussing who Jon Hart is, and some are discussing why it is him?
...Jon was also slightly stunned.
Because he hadn't expected that Professor McGonagall would expose this matter to the public in such a large public.
However, he was not flustered.
He stood up calmly and walked from the rearmost position to the white marble grave.
He only felt that all his eyes were on him within a few hundred yards on the way.
After nodding to Professor McGonagall, Jon turned around and looked at the increasingly eager crowd who were discussing, chirping and even a little annoying—
"Thank you, be quiet!" Jon Hart said loudly.
