Vol 2 Chapter 739: Podium

Allen turned back and walked to the Ravenclaw long table when he came, his face calmly ignored the comments and gazes of everyone in the auditorium.
Michael, who was next to his original position on the Dean Eagle table, watched Alan returning, and moved aside, trying to make more room for Alan. Almost everyone in the auditorium thought that Allen gave up sitting in the teacher's seat and chose to sit with the students as in previous years. This also made the worried McGonagall on the faculty seat start to breathe a sigh of relief.
"This is too unfair. Isn't Alan also a professor of ancient magic lessons, shouldn't the school prepare a seat for him?" Hermione was accustomed to Alan sitting on a long table, but after Allen's series of actions Let her realize Hogwarts' mistakes.
Ron habitually wanted to refute when he heard the words, and then suddenly remembered that he was on the train at the end of last semester. It was Allen who helped him prove his own orientation. The Weasley family's tutoring for many years made this freckled red face. The hair wizard blushed, and finally just opened his mouth and viciously took a piece of chocolate cake and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing the ironic words and sweets into his stomach.
Frowning Dumbledore stared at Alan for a while. He turned his body and coughed slightly, trying to continue speaking, but a harsh piercing sound rang through the auditorium.
It turned out that Luna used Transfiguration to change the metal fork of her fork pudding into a wooden chair for Allen, but Allen took it and dragged it slowly towards the staff seat, dragging the chair and the floor on the floor. The harsh sound of friction was embarrassing. In a quiet atmosphere, Allen sat down leisurely on the faculty seat, then knocked on the table, and the house elves stacked the sumptuous desserts they prepared on golden plates. It had to be full, and then changed to the table in front of Allen.
Seeing Allen's actions, Professor McGonagall shook her head in disapproval. She tried to explain to Dumbledore: "Professor Harris, Albus didn't mean this. You don't have to..."
Dumbledore, who had been silently watching Allen's actions, spoke to him again: "I have to apologize again, Professor Harris."
Allen replied with a friendly smile: "It's okay, Principal Dumbledore, I was also at fault, and I shouldn't have been sitting in the student seat in the first place."
The originally silent auditorium suddenly became noisy. The little wizards talked about Ellen’s behavior. Some Muggle-born freshmen could no longer pretend to be reserved, and curiously asked the people around who this person was. ; And some wizards who are close to Dumbledore think that Allen is too arrogant and has to make the situation so embarrassing... But after last year’s publicity, Hogwarts Allen’s supporters and admirers have also become Most of them felt that Allen’s behavior was not just blameless, but full of personality and a symbol of strength, and the matter itself was that the school’s negligence made the new savior not deserve the respect.
"Sorry Professor Harris, there will never be such a thing again in the future." Dumbledore apologized again. He waited a few more seconds before continuing to speak after the auditorium was completely silent, "As you know..."
"Excuse me..." Allen raised his hand and interrupted his principal's speech again. Dumbledore turned and stared at him with a serious face, "Sorry, Professor Harris, you are..."
"I think the principal, you forgot to introduce me to the students, but please forgive my recklessness and let me do it myself." After finishing talking, Alan stood up without waiting for Dumbledore's consent, and he The metal fork in front of him was transformed into something similar to the podium in front of the principal. The only difference was that the owl statue was turned into a raven statue and it was placed on the dining table. Then he used his voice loudly I started to introduce myself, "I’m Alan Harris, I’m teaching an ancient magic class at Hogwarts, and I will teach you how to use these ancient magic correctly during your studies. This includes common spells and blacks. Magic and how to use them to fight, and I will let you not be extreme to which end, I will not try to make you saints, nor will you fall into demons, this knowledge will only make you forced When you need to face the enemy, you have a greater chance to be the one who survived. Finally, this course of mine is an elective course, it is only open to students in the third grade and above, and the Ministry of Magic is expected to It will be included in the OWLs exam in two years, and it will be included in the NEWT exam in four years. If you want to join the Auror in the future, you'd better make sure that you can get at least an E in your NEWT score."
After speaking, Allen turned the podium back into a fork and sat down. He nodded to Dumbledore who was staring at him, then sat down and began to cross the pudding in front of him.
The members of the training class in the audience and the little wizards who wish to go further on the path of magic burst into applause and cheers.
"Thank you very much, Professor Harris, your speech is very enlightening...but I'm sorry..." Dumbledore did not try to apologize for "forgetting" the introduction to Allen this time. He rushed to Allen. I owed and leaned, then turned to face the students again, and also used a loud voice to suppress those cheers, "I have to remind you that whether the ancient magic lesson will be included in the Ministry of Magic exam is still a pending According to the current situation, the Ministry of Magic has ensured everyone’s safety, so some school directors and I are discussing whether we need to discuss with the Ministry whether this subject is really necessary, so that no one needs to risk it. Learn the spells that are too dangerous, so I personally suggest that you think twice before deciding whether to sign up for this course."
Allen’s voice immediately sounded again:
I also have to remind you, Principal Dumbledore, the Ministry of Magic cannot guarantee the safety of everyone 100% absolutely, just like under the protection of our Ministry, let’s You, the greatest white wizard in the world, suffered a serious curse injury on the arm...I don’t think we can take the place of others to decide how to ensure their lives."
"I thought you had finished speaking, Professor Harris." Dumbledore did not look back.
"I was abrupt to interrupt your speech, but President Dumbledore, if you don’t want someone to refute your speech, then your speech should not involve that person, otherwise you can’t try to expect others to Follow what you say." Alan leaned against Dumbledore who was carrying his back, and then spread his hands and shrugged. "Besides, after exploring the subjects that I will teach, there are no professors in the college. , If you don’t mind Principal Dumbledore, I think maybe I can help you heal the damage caused by this curse and prevent it from spreading, although it will be time-consuming... Of course, I think if the principal can be like you were young Just continue to specialize in black magic, and with your talent in this, it is not difficult for me to solve it."
Dumbledore raised the cursed palm that was covered and let it appear upright in front of everyone: "Thank you for your concern, Professor Harris, but I have asked Horace and Severus Help me configure the potion, as you said, it will take some time, so I think my old man suffered from accidental injuries will not delay the third person, but you are right, I will take it The next speech is guaranteed not to involve you and your course, but just like our private conversation, I had to do that, although it will take some time..."
Allen didn't speak, but just raised the glass to the headmaster of Hogwarts, and then he really focused all of his attention on the pudding in front of him.
But now the entire school auditorium is silent whether it is the student table or the teacher’s seat. Even the reckless Gryffindor dare not make any noise in this atmosphere. The students are watching each other, the greatest white wizard and There are some conceptual contradictions in the new savior. Many people know more or less, but just like those who have heard reports that the two most powerful wizards in the world will soon defeat Voldemort at Hogwarts. Like optimists ~EbookFREE.me~ they were shocked and horrified to discover that the contradiction between Alan Harris and Albus Dumbledore had become so intense that they were in front of them.
The dispute finally stopped, and Dumbledore once again put his hands on the podium: "As you know, everyone is searched before entering school tonight. You have the right to know the reason. There was a young man, he and you The same, sitting in this hall, walking through the corridors here, slept in the beds here... He looks no different from everyone else-I think everyone is familiar with his name in the Daily Prophet , Called Tom Riddle, which is Voldemort."
However, because of the previous debate between Dumbledore and Allen, the appearance of the second-generation Dark Lord’s name in the auditorium did not arouse too much reaction as usual, but this still made everyone refocus on Huo. The principal of Gwarts.
After waiting a few more seconds, Dumbledore spoke again: "The current situation in the wizarding world is much better than I originally thought due to the Ministry of Magic’s efforts. Hogwarts has also been more effective by the Aurors sent by the Ministry of Magic. Professional protection. But in order to avoid accidents like mine, each of our teachers and students must still be vigilant at all times and never take it lightly. I implore you, whether inside or outside the school, as long as you find any abnormal or suspicious circumstances , You must report to the faculty immediately. I believe you will restrain your behavior for your own safety and the safety of others. Okay, kids, go to bed after enjoying the dessert, take a good rest, and prepare for tomorrow’s class, good night, yes A good dream."
Dumbledore waved to the students, and never left the podium. It seemed that he had no intention of returning to his seat-but after walking a few steps, he turned around and grabbed a handful of lemon snow treasures. Leave again.
