Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 23
Half an hour later, the banquet was basically coming to an end, and the staple food on the table was replaced by a variety of desserts.

Kyle chose a maple syrup pudding.

This kind of pudding is highly recommended by both Bill and Charlie, saying that apart from Hogwarts, there are few other places with such authentic taste.

Kyle took a sip and found that the taste was really good, with the right amount of sweetness, a delicious fragrance, and just the right amount of acidity was the finishing touch, making it perfect for dessert after a meal.

After everyone finished eating, the remaining desserts were emptied, and the table became clean and tidy again.

Dumbledore stood up, and the auditorium returned to silence.

"Everyone is full now, but before you go back to your dormitory, I still have a few words to say."

"Attention first-year freshmen, the forest area on the school grounds prohibits any students from entering."

"Moreover..." Dumbledore paused, and continued: "Professor McGonagall also wants me to remind everyone, please do not use props for magic tricks in the classroom or any public areas, otherwise you will be severely punished."

As soon as the words fell, nearly half of the people in the auditorium subconsciously looked at Fred and George of Gryffindor.

The twins didn't have stage fright either, they stood up and kept bowing their hands to the surroundings, with a proud look, as if Dumbledore was praising them just now.

Not far away, Professor McGonagall's face was as ugly as it was, and his lips were pursed even tighter.

From her appearance, she knew that the twins were probably going to be locked up, and the time would definitely not be short.

Dumbledore looked normal, and continued: "The review of Quidditch players will be held in the second week of this semester. Students who are above the second grade and intend to join the academy team, please contact Ms. Hodge."

Sure enough, you still have to be in the second grade...

Because he knew this would be the result, Kyle would not feel any disappointment.

Moreover, although Dumbledore said so, it does not mean that freshmen in the first year must not participate in the selection of Quidditch.

The reason why the first grade was excluded was just to take care of the little Muggle-born wizards. They had never been exposed to Quidditch before. It would be too unfair to them to choose players at this time.

After a school year, they are almost familiar with the magic world, and the selection is just right at this time.

Of course, if there are really good seedlings, the deans will not mind using a little bit of privilege, just like Harry Potter a year later.

So Kyle is going to try his luck with Professor Sprout in two days to see if he can be selected with the second graders.

It would be too tortured if they were not allowed to fly for a year.

"Quiet……"

Dumbledore had to increase the volume to suppress the group of young wizards who were excited by Quidditch.

"Finally, it is my pleasure to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

Dumbledore turned sideways and stretched out his hand in the direction of the teacher's seat.

"Professor Oren, say hello to everyone."

Beside Snape, an unattractive middle-aged wizard stood up, smiled and waved to everyone.

There were a few indifferent and sparse applause in the auditorium. Except for the freshmen of the first grade who took pictures more vigorously, the students of other grades were not very interested.

It's just throwing away the professor every year, so why are you so enthusiastic, anyway, it will be changed next year, just perfunctory for Dumbledore's sake.

Professor Oren didn't care either. He seemed to have already guessed the result, and sat back down after saying hello.

But I don't know whether it was because of disappointment or embarrassment. When Professor Oren moved the chair, his movements were slightly larger, his body was tilted, and his elbows were evenly pressed against Snape's waist.

"hiss!"

Snape gasped, and gripped the armrests of the chair with both hands, trying not to cry out.

"I'm sorry Severus, are you alright, do you need to go to Madam Pomfrey's?" Oren asked with concern.

"I don't think we've gotten used to calling each other by names, Professor Oren.

In addition, I am not so fragile that I will be sent to the school hospital just by touching it, so don't bother you. "

Snape moved his chair aside, and the disgust flashed in his eyes, as if he saw a phyllobium that had been squeezed out of its mucus and had no medicinal value.

Professor Oren looked a little embarrassed, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more.

But at this time Dumbledore had finished talking about Hogsmeade Village, and began to direct the little wizards to sing the school song.

A long golden ribbon floated in the sky, and various tunes soon sounded in the auditorium.

Oren could only swallow what he wanted to say, and sang with everyone in the way of a troubadour.

Hogwarts,

Hogwarts,

Hogwarts,

Hogwarts,

Give us the knowledge,
Whether we are bald old men
Or the kid who broke his knee.

……

A good school song was suddenly sung by everyone into a large-scale concert rollover scene, with any tune.

Among them, "Scenery Hippogriff" and "Symphony of Destiny" appear the most, which are also the choices of most young wizards.

As for Kyle, he used "The Road to Heaven is Wide and Wide".

Everyone's choice is varied, but if there is anyone who sings the happiest, it must be the Weasley twins.

Fred and George took each other's arms, and sang the school song to the tune of "The Bumblebee," and danced happily.

Their move also attracted a lot of attention, and the cheerful Gryffindor students quickly joined in spontaneously, turning the original school anthem session into a wild dance of demons.

But I have to admit that they looked really happy, even Dumbledore on the stage couldn't hold back, and danced for a while.

After the school song ended, Fred and George received the warmest applause from the audience.

"It's so beautiful. This is the meaning of the school song." Dumbledore tidied up his slightly crooked wizard hat, and said with a smile, "It's bedtime now, everyone go back to the dormitory."

……

At the end of the party, everyone rushed to the gate of the auditorium.

The prefects acted quickly, trying to gather the freshmen from their respective colleges together.

"First-year freshman, come here."

"Don't squeeze, let the freshmen go first, let the first-year freshmen go first!"

"Hurry up freshmen, we have to hurry up."

"Is everyone here? Remember to follow me later, don't fall behind."
