Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 150: Different welcome dinner
"Maybe everyone has seen it on the Change account today, but I must have some doubts. Taking advantage of the newly enrolled students have not yet been divided into classes, I want to give you a special introduction-transfer student, Maca Mack Ryan."
In the auditorium of Durmstrang Castle, a regular school orienteering dinner is being held.
This is a large auditorium not much smaller than the Hogwarts Auditorium. Although the furnishings on the walls are simple, they are as meticulous as Durmstrand’s philosophy of school governance.
The school badge pennant composed of extinct two-headed waterfowl and horned skulls is neatly arranged on the walls on both sides. Although it is not fancy, it has an extraordinary momentum.
is facing the back wall of the gate, but it is only carved with an ancient wand with a long pole. The background is an unknown shield-shaped badge with a black round shape, which makes people wonder.
The atmosphere of the Demstrang dinner party is also very different from Hogwarts. The dining table here is placed sideways. Everyone sits neatly in a fixed position. Only the sound of tableware colliding and deliberately lowered it. Whispered.
At the forefront, in addition to the faculty’s dining table, there is also a large half-person-high platform, which is currently empty for the time being.
It can be seen that under Karkaroff's cold teaching policy, the students' personalities have been suppressed.
At this moment, Karkaroff's words made the following whispers a little messy.
Quidditch World Cup and other major events, the influence of Durmstrang, who has many enthusiasts, is not to mention. At that time, there were a lot of students and even teachers at the game.
The name "Maca McLean", not to mention everyone knows, is not much different.
"...Then, please come in for freshmen!"
As soon as Karkaroff's words fell, the door of the auditorium opened, and the new students, led by Maca, walked slowly to the faculty seat in the front of the hall.
"Principal, is this all right?"
At this moment, a thin male teacher crouched suddenly asked.
Karkaroff frowned and said impatiently: "Of course it’s okay, Orson."
and the other teachers just glanced at them and didn't say much. In their opinion, not arguing with Karkaroff is the most appropriate choice.
The old wizard who didn't know whether it was "Osen" or "Osen" opened his mouth, but in the end he shook his head and ate the food on his plate.
In front of the auditorium, the freshmen lined up in a row with Maca, and stood still in front of the faculty seat with a little anxiety.
Most of them haven't eaten yet. Seeing that the meal has already started in the auditorium at this moment, the stomachs of several little wizards groaned.
"McLean, you are different from other freshmen. You are a transfer student, and you should be promoted to the fourth grade. But I hope you know that in terms of teaching arrangements, our school and Huo Gwarz is very different."
Karkaroff paused, then continued, “For freshmen enrolled in our school, each teacher will freely choose students to teach, and each student has the right to change his own teacher at any time-the number of times that can be changed will be It is determined by your respective credits."
Yes, credits!
This is a very interesting rule in Durmstrang: In this school, many resources can be exchanged for credits, including library borrowing, potion materials, various magic items and so on.
It is said that this is a key school regulation introduced by the school’s second principal, "Harfon Monte".
And this principal who established Durmstrang College’s tradition of focusing on duels and combat magic, has based the way for students to earn credits on the strength of each little wizard.
Whether it is to win individual rankings in three duel competitions in each semester, or to achieve group rankings in class competitions at the end of each school year, or even due to various personal grievances in invitational duels-as long as you are in school If you win in the venue and rules, you can get the corresponding credits.
I have to say that when Maca learned of this rule from Krum, he immediately became interested in this very competitive teaching model.
"Teachers, who of you wants McLean as a transfer student?" Karkaroff asked very directly to the teachers sitting on either side of him.
However, the teachers who have been staring at Maca since just now are silent.
Maca made a big fuss at the World Cup, and all the things he did against the British Ministry of Magic made headlines. Now, who would dare to accept such a thorn to be a student?
I heard that he also fought with Dumbledore once. Although it seems that he didn't get a deal, even retreating under Dumbledore's hands is a wonderful and amazing record.
To be honest, when he is a teacher, will he be beaten?
If someone asks Karkaroff like this, he will tell you—this kid might use the "weapon" with his right hand, but he will punch you in the face with his left hand!
Seeing that the teachers all had an expression of "Don't find me about this", Maca couldn't help shrugging, and stretched out his hand to the position of the "Osen" who had just spoken.
"Professor Orson, would you like to teach me?"
Orson was taken aback, he looked at Karkaroff, then at the other teachers around him, and finally hesitated and nodded.
"Then follow me to learn..."
Suddenly, some of the students below stared--obviously, those should be Orson's existing students.
Then, after the freshmen were selected by a teacher, the dinner party officially started. Seeing that Karkaroff didn't seem to have any intention of arranging a seat for him, Maca simply found an empty seat behind him and sat down.
Dining is very quiet, and he can feel it, the students don’t want to get too close to him. A little fat man next to him even moved his chair deliberately, giving Maca a lot of space.
On the right hand side of Maca, the weak-looking little witch did not move, but her head was lower and lower, and her nose was almost rubbing against the vegetable salad on the plate.
It doesn't matter if Maca himself is ignored, but he seems to scare the little girl a bit.
……
Compared with Durmstrang College, the atmosphere of the Hogwarts Orientation Dinner is much hotter.
At this moment, in the Hogwarts auditorium, Dumbledore began his speech...
"Okay!" Dumbledore looked at everyone with a smile, and said, "Now that we are all full and full, I must ask everyone to pay attention again. I want to announce a few notices."
" Mr. Filch, the janitor, wants me to tell you that this year, the prohibited items in the castle have added a few more items. They are screaming swim balls, toothed flying saucers and combo boomerangs... The entire list is about Including 437 items, you can see it in Mr. Filch's office, and those who are interested can check it."
You can notice that the corners of your mouth seem to twitch a few times.
He continued: "As before, I want to remind everyone that students cannot enter the forbidden forest over the site, and in Hogsmeade Village, students below the third grade are not allowed to patronize."
"I also regret to tell everyone that the College Cup Quidditch will not be held this year."
Everyone couldn't help but rush.
Dumbledore continued: "This is because a large-scale event will begin in October and will continue throughout the school year. It takes up a lot of the teachers’ time and energy-but I believe that you can all get a lot from it. Fun. I’m very happy to announce to you that this year at Hogwarts—"
Just then, a deafening thunder sounded from the clouds outside the castle, and the door was pushed open roughly.
A man stood at the door, leaning on a long cane, wrapped in a black travel cloak. Everyone in the auditorium turned their heads to look at the stranger. Suddenly, a forked lightning flashed across the ceiling, and Hermione gasped.
Lightning shot the man's face so clearly, the students couldn't help but shrink their heads, because everyone had never seen such a face.
It is like being carved out of a piece of decayed wood. If only one word is used to describe it, it would be "incomplete".
Every inch of skin on that face seemed to be scarred, and the mouth looked like a big slanted opening, but the area where the nose should be raised was gone.
And the most frightening thing about this man is his eyes.
One of his eyes is very small, but it is shining with a sharp light; the other eye is big, round like a coin, and it is a kind of bright blue with a glow~IndoMTL .com~ That blue eye didn't blink, but it moved constantly in the eye socket, spinning up and down, left and right, completely irrelevant to the direction the normal eye was looking at—later, The blue eyeball suddenly turned over, and simply turned to the inside of the man's eye socket. Only a large white eyeball remained in the eye socket.
The man took a cane with a deep foot and a shallow foot, but he walked to Dumbledore very quickly. He stretched out a hand, and that hand was as scarred as his face.
Dumbledore shook his hand, whispered something. He seemed to be asking the man about something, and the weird man shook his head blankly, and replied in a low voice.
Dumbledore nodded and motioned for the man to sit in an empty seat to his right.
The stranger sat down, shook his head, and shook his long gray hair from his face, then pulled a plate of sausages and held it up to his mutilated nose and smelled it. He took a knife out of his pocket, stuck it in one end of a sausage, and ate it.
His normal eye was staring at the sausage, but the blue eye was still turning around in the socket of the eye non-stop, looking at the auditorium and the classmates.
"Allow me to introduce our new Defence Against the Dark Arts class teacher," Dumbledore happily broke his silence, "Professor Moody."
Normally, when the new teacher meets with everyone, everyone will applaud and welcome, but now, apart from Dumbledore and Hagrid, no teacher or student applauds. )!!
