Dumbledore smiled, his lake-blue eyes drifting over the little wizards. His eyes stayed on Harry Potter for a moment, and then looked at the Ravenclaw table.

Coincidentally, Ives was also observing the most powerful old man in the magic world at this time.

The two met their eyes.

Elvis was a little surprised. Dumbledore didn’t care about Harry Potter. Why did he look at me, a little wizard born as a Muggle?

Although he was complaining like this in his heart, he still had a smile on his face.

Dumbledore smiled gently at Ives, then faced forward and shouted:”Welcome!”

“Welcome everyone to start the new school year at Hogwarts! Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words. That is: idiot! Cry! Residue! screw!”

The little wizards were already hungry. They couldn’t help but feel good about the principal’s speech and clapped hard. The Weasley twins even whistled at the Gryffindor table.

“thank you all!”Dumbledore sat back amidst warm applause and saw him lightly���With clapping of hands, many delicacies appeared on the four long tables.

Pan-fried steak, roasted turkey, lamb chops, chicken salad, grilled prawn soufflé, potato braised lamb, roasted lamb saddle, winter solstice pudding, Meiji steak, fish and chips, macaroni and vegetable soup, baked wontons, baked macaroni and cheese , macaroni, pizza and more. Everyone has a great appetite, pick up their favorite food and put it in their mouths

“”Professor Dumbledore’s speech was as short as it is,” said a little witch with black hair and brown eyes opposite Ivis.

Hermione looked over curiously,”Senior, has the principal always been like this?””

“Yes,” the senior student bit off a piece of fried fish,”Professor Dumbledore has always hated those complicated formalisms. This is probably what everyone likes about him.

Hermione nodded,” Indeed.””

When she was in Muggle primary school, she hated the speeches of the leaders. They sat on the stage to speak, but the students had to stand all morning!

“Speaking of which, there are quite a lot of boys among the new students in Ravenclaw this year.”The senior looked around and said in surprise.

The male-to-female ratio in Ravenclaw House is seriously imbalanced, about seven to three, with more than twice as many girls as boys.

But this time the new students in Ravenclaw are finally getting better. There were four boys among the nine freshmen.

A senior not far from her suddenly stood up holding a chicken leg,”I am the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, Roger Davis.”. He introduced himself loudly, and then looked at the four boys among the freshmen,”You sophomores must come to participate in the selection of the Quidditch team!” The future of Academy Quidditch is in your hands. It is our duty to restore the glory of Ravenclaw!”

As he spoke, he raised the drumstick high above his head with inexplicable excitement.

Ives quietly looked around, and the remaining three first-year wizards also had excited expressions.

Ives was a little stunned, not knowing what he was doing. Should we cooperate?

The senior sister opposite chuckled and explained in a low voice:”Because there are more girls in the academy, we have always been in a weak position in Quidditch competitions. Senior Davis has always wanted to lead the team to win the Quidditch Cup. This year, four boys actually joined Ravenclaw, which made him very excited.”

Aves nodded slightly, with an understanding expression.

“By the way, my name is Qiu Zhang, a sophomore.” she introduced herself

“Nice to meet you, Ivis Evans.” Ivis motioned to Hermione next to him,”Hermione Granger.”

“Hello,” Zhang Qiu said with a smile.

“Qiu, are you Asian?”Hermione asked suspiciously as she observed her senior sister’s appearance.

Zhang Qiu nodded,”Yes, my parents are from China.”

“”In that case,” Ives said in Chinese,”should your name be pronounced Zhang Qiu?””

Zhang Qiu opened her mouth in shock. This was the first time she met a peer who could speak Chinese.

She replied in non-standard Mandarin:”That’s right.”

Zhang Qiu had an inexplicable feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign country, and communicated with Ives in half-baked Chinese.

Hermione looked at the two people chatting happily in surprise,”I didn’t know you knew Chinese.”

“I know a lot of things,” Ives said proudly.

Seeing Ives’s nostrils rising to the sky, Hermione raised her feet

“Ouch~”

Ivis frowned and screamed in pain.

Zhang Qiu looked at the two people who seemed to be happy enemies, covered his mouth and snickered.

After eating the pudding, Dumbledore stood up again. The auditorium also returned to silence.

“Now that everyone has eaten and drank enough, I want to say a few more words to you. At the beginning of the semester, I would like to give you a few things to note”

“Attention first-year students, the wooded area of the school grounds is off-limits to any student.”As he spoke, he looked towards the Gryffindor table with his shining eyes,”I hope some classmates from the old class will also remember this.”

The Weasley twins shrank their necks, not wanting Dumbledore to notice them.

“Furthermore, Mr. Filch, the administrator, also asked me to remind everyone not to perform magic in the corridors during recess.”

“Quidditch player selections will take place during the second week of the term. Any students who are interested in participating in the college team please contact Mrs. Huo Qi.”

Avis noticed that Zhang Qiu became excited.

“Finally, I must tell everyone that anyone who does not want to suffer an accident and die a painful death, please do not enter the corridor on the right on the fourth floor.”

A glimmer of light flashed in Dumbledore’s serious eyes.

To be honest, Dumbledore’s words would only arouse the interest of the students.

As expected, several bursts of laughter came from the Gryffindor table. Ivis looked at In the past, many little lions were whispering and seemed to agree to explore the restricted area together.

“Now, before everyone goes to bed, let’s sing the school song together!”Dumbledore smiled and said loudly.

The smiles of other teachers froze.

Without taking out the wand, Dumbledore waved his right hand lightly, and a large ball of flame appeared out of thin air.

Under the exclamations of the little wizards, that The flame turned into a large piece of lyrics floating in the air

“Everyone chooses his own tune,” Dumbledore shouted,”Get ready and sing!”

So everyone sang loudly:

“Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, please teach us that whether we’re a balding old man or a kid with a broken knee, our minds can take in some interesting things.

Because now our brains are empty, full of air, dead flies and trivial things.

Teach us some valuable knowledge. Give us back what we have forgotten.

You just need to do your best and leave the rest to us.

We will study hard until turned into dung”
