Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 20: At the banquet

The freshmen were amazed by Dumbledore's magic, but they were already starving and cared more about the delicious food in front of them than researching how the Headmaster did it.

Albert knows how this is done. Dumbledore was transported from the kitchen below the auditorium through the magic left by Hufflepuff, and the Hufflepuff Gold Cup, which was used as Voldemort's Horcrux , is the first Hogwarts vessel to assist house-elves in transporting magical food.

Of course, Albert didn't forget to take this matter to the prefect next to him, but the other party's mouth was full of food, and he obviously did not intend to answer this question.

The dinner was very rich,

Although it can't be said to be fine, it will definitely fill everyone's stomach.

Albert got himself a steak and cut it slowly. He's not really hungry, he's been eating all the way.

Everyone else ate with their stomachs open. Lee Jordan, who was sitting opposite, was nibbling on a chicken leg in one hand, looking very happy.

After the banquet began, ghosts also appeared, appearing from all over the castle, greeting the new students, and causing a commotion.

The ghost of Gryffindor is a male noble, probably the legendary almost headless Nick.

"Mr. Ghost." Albert swallowed the beef and greeted Nick, who was almost headless.

"I think I prefer you to call me Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington," said the ghost.

"Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington." Albert finished the long name and could remember Nick's name, he still admired his instant memory, "Can you take pictures, I mean, can you be in the picture?"

"What? Boy, I don't understand what you're saying?" Sir Nicholas was glad someone could pronounce his name, and hated newcomers calling him "Nick Headless".

"Photograph," Albert said, "Please make sure to take a photo with me another day."

"Okay boy, if you're thinking about that that day, oh take a picture, you can come to me." Sir Nicholas agreed, and he was very fond of the polite little guy.

"Can I ask one more question?"

"Ask the child."

"What is a ghost, a soul after death?"

"Wizards can leave their mark on the world, and they can walk vaguely where they walked in their lifetimes, but only a few wizards choose this path." Sir Nicholas did not answer Albert's question directly.

"A memory? It doesn't quite resemble it, so...is it really a soul?" Albert said to himself, he knew that there was a soul in the magical world.

After all, Voldemort ripped apart his own soul.

When he recovered from his thoughts, he found that everyone nearby was staring at him?

"What's wrong?" Albert asked suspiciously.

"Nothing?" Others quickly retracted their gazes.

"I still think you should be in Ravenclaw," Fred said inarticulately.

"Swallow it before talking." Albert said angrily.

"Why are you curious about ghosts?" a freshman asked.

"In the Muggle world, there is no such magical existence as ghosts." Albert said calmly, "Now that I have the opportunity to learn about it, I naturally don't want to miss it. By the way, it will feel very cold to be passed through by ghosts. Better be careful in the future."

He just secretly poked Nick with his finger, and he felt that his finger was very icy. Passing through them might be equivalent to drenching him in ice water.

This is never a pleasant thing in winter.

"Indeed, there are no ghosts in the Muggle world," said a girl two chairs away from Albert. Her name was Shanna Wilson.

"Honestly, when I got the letter, my family thought it was a prank. When Professor McGonagall came to visit, they almost kicked her out." Shanna Wilson found it funny, "In fact, they Don't really want me here."

"My situation is similar. My mother almost called the police and arrested Professor McGonagall." Albert said with a smile, "People who live on the science side usually have a poor ability to accept anomalies. They want me to to Eton College."

"Eton, is that Eton?" Shanna Wilson was surprised.

"What's that?" Lee Jordan asked, puzzled.

"It's one of the best schools in the UK," explains Shanna Wilson.

"Hogwarts is the best." George raised his eyebrows.

"Of course I know, because there is only one wizarding school in England, and Hogwarts is naturally the best." Shanna Wilson couldn't help but despise, "Ordinary people, the so-called Muggles, have With thousands of schools and Eton in the top three, I don't need to tell you what that means!"

"It seems to be very powerful." George disagreed, in fact, he really didn't understand.

"Don't just talk about us, but also about you." Albert changed the subject and looked at the other girl.

"I'm half and half, my mother is a wizard, my father is a Muggle ~IndoMTL.com~ Angelina Johnson said, "They confessed to each other very early. However, we have always lived in the Muggle world. I have been exposed to magic since I was a child, and my family was not too surprised when I received the invitation. "

Alia Spinnett next to her said, "I was born in a wizarding family, and I have been exposed to magic since I was a child. There is nothing new. When I received the letter, the family was very happy and bought me an owl. ."

After everyone was full, the food left on the plate disappeared, replaced by desserts.

Albert took a pudding and listened to interesting stories from the freshman

After the banquet, the plates on the table were emptied again, like the plates Tom licked.

Professor Dumbledore stood up again and announced to the crowd, "I am delighted that the school has a new professor, and Professor Bud Broad will be the new Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor."

Sparse applause begins in the auditorium.

Professor Bud Broad is an elderly man.

"There are a few more things to inform everyone." Dumbledore said, looking at all the students below, "First-year freshmen, please note that students are not allowed to enter the woods on campus. Besides, the administrator, Mr. Filch, also I would like to remind everyone not to use magic in the hallway between classes. Finally, the Quidditch player review will be held in the second week of this term, and those who are interested in participating in the academy team should contact Mrs. Hooch.”

"Why can't we enter the forbidden forest."

"Probably there is danger in the Forbidden Forest." Albert said, glancing at the eager twins.

"If you dare to go to the Forbidden Forest, I'll write to Mom." Percy Weasley glared at his younger brother, he knew their characters too well.

"We won't," the twins quickly assured.
