Admiral of Hogwarts

Chapter 134

After the sorting ceremony began, Professor McGonagall, who wore glasses and had her hair tied tightly into a bun, placed the famous Hogwarts Sorting Hat on the stool in front of the new students.

Every year, this old, patched, dirty and worn hat sorts new students into the four houses of Hogwarts.

Last year, Hugo was sorted into Ravenclaw here. At that time, he was obviously a little nervous because he was worried that the Sorting Hat would see something about him that was not suitable for others to know. Fortunately, the Admiral Network helped him block that part of his memory and allowed him to successfully pass the test.

And now, like the seniors and sisters last year, he could watch the freshmen nervously being sorted by that old hat.

On the stage behind the sorting hat, the school staff, except Snape, all smiled at the new students of each house, probably to welcome these new students.

Among the new students today, there are several supporting characters that Hugo remembered as being very important in the original text, and just as he remembered, the red-haired Ginny and the blond-haired Colin Creevey were both assigned to Gryffindor House. Here, Luna, who also has blond hair but looks a little weird, was assigned to Ravenclaw.

Except when Hugo concentrated his attention when these more important characters in the original text appeared, at other times he was looking left and right, scanning the entire hall, trying to find the holder of Voldemort's Horcrux who was probably in this hall.

Unfortunately, Hugo did not find anyone who looked suspicious, whether he was really not here or had only been exposed to Horcruxes for a short period of time.

When the last girl with short black hair was sorted into Hufflepuff, the sorting ceremony ended. Professor McGonagall left the sorting scene with the sorting hat and the small stool.

Then Professor Dumbledore stood up. Although he is very old, he is still as energetic as those young people.

"Welcome!" said Professor Dumbledore, standing up from his high-backed chair, his beard glinting in the light of the candles on the ceiling.

"Welcome to Hogwarts in the new school year! I'm so happy to see you all again, and before everyone starts dinner, I want to say something important."

"Of course, this is a happy thing." Professor Dumbledore glanced at the students below, and then said, "This year, I am pleased to welcome two new teachers to our team."

"The first one is Professor Lockhart. I think you already know that he temporarily put aside his travels after receiving my invitation, and then agreed to my invitation to come to the school to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. Professor’s request.”

There was a round of applause and cheers in the auditorium, especially from the girls. Some even stood up and clapped their hands vigorously.

However, Hermione and Veneto next to Hugo were still sitting quietly at the table as before, while looking at the peacock with a bit of contempt.

"Look at those professors." Hermione pulled Hugo's sleeves at this time. After being reminded by her, Hugo noticed that the faces of the professors sitting on the long table did not look very good. Most of them looked very bad. Everyone just clapped their hands politely, and some even remained motionless like Professor Snape.

Obviously, Lockhart, a popular star in the wizarding world, is not well accepted by these professors.

For these professors, they feel that if they want to be professors, they should at least have the appearance of a professor, instead of maintaining the appearance of a star outside after entering the school like now.

"As for the second teacher we have appointed," continued the Headmaster, after Dumbledore waved his hand several times for silence.

"Considering some accidents that occurred last year and the work of Professor McGonagall as the deputy principal, I am very happy to hire Miss Enterprise Halsey to serve as Hogwarts safety officer and assistant teacher of Transfiguration."

Enterprise, like Lockhart, stood up and waved to everyone when Professor Dumbledore was introduced. Perhaps it was because of Enterprise's outstanding appearance as a ship girl and that she was not much older than those senior students, so everyone's applause for Enterprise was not much worse than that given to Lockhart.

"Well, I think the important things have been said," Dumbledore said after everyone had finished applauding. "Let's start the meal. I wish everyone a pleasant meal tonight."

As soon as the principal finished speaking, the golden plates and goblets in front of them were suddenly filled with food and drinks. After hanging around in the car all day and not eating much snacks, Hugo felt that he was very hungry now, so he took some food within his reach and started eating.

It was a sumptuous meal; the auditorium echoed with laughter and the clink of knives and forks. Everyone is exchanging experiences from the summer vacation or various interesting things they have encountered recently with their classmates.

However, Hermione and Hugo were concentrating on eating at this time, hoping to find the company after finishing the meal and ask her how she got here.

The last small piece of pumpkin pie disappeared from the golden plate. Dumbledore said that everyone should go to bed, so Hermione and her brother immediately jumped up from their seats and ran straight to the door of the auditorium.

After waiting at the door for a few seconds, they quickly waited for the business to come out with a large number of students.

"Congratulations, Sister Enterprise—Professor." When we went out to play together before, Hermione quickly became friends with the Enterprise when the Enterprise consciously approached her. So after seeing the Enterprise, Hermione immediately pulled Hugo forward and talked to her. she said hello. "I never thought you could come to Hogwarts and be a professor."

"This is all thanks to you." Enterprise and the Granger siblings said after they walked to a place with few people.

"After I came to the UK, I didn't know what to do at first. Then I saw an advertisement in the Daily Prophet for Hogwarts to recruit Defense Against the Dark Arts professors. I thought you were here, so I applied."

"But I came a little late, and Lockhart had already become a professor at the school." Enterprise shrugged and said, "But after I expressed my hope to find a job in the school, those who took a serious look at my resume Mr. Principal still gave me the job I have now."

"Sounds very good." Hugo nodded and said, at least in the British wizarding community, coming to teach at Hogwarts is a very good thing.

"It is indeed very good, because this job is not very labor intensive. In addition to patrolling and checking the defense of Hogwarts Castle every night, I only need to help Professor McGonagall prepare lessons or lead a few classes for her when she is busy. You can enjoy the same treatment as other professors." Speaking of the new job, the company seemed very happy.

Of course, what she didn't say was that the happiest thing for her was the opportunity to have close contact with her admiral. At least for the ship girls, this should be considered the happiest thing for them.

"By the way, my office is in an empty classroom on the west side of the fourth floor of the castle. There is a bronze plaque with my name hanging on that door." At the end of the chat, when the students were about to leave, the company said to them: . "You can go there to find me when you are free."
