Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 80: Meet the new semester

　　 "I think it's better to make it clear before you get confused by this delicious meal."

　　 Dumbledore cleared his throat and continued.

　　 "After they searched the Hogwarts Express train...you must all know that our school is currently receiving some dementors from Azkaban. They are here to perform the official duties of the Ministry of Magic."

　　 Dumbledore is not happy about the dementor guarding the school, but this is what the Ministry of Magic means. As the principal of Hogwarts, he knows that the Ministry of Magic represents rules and constraints.

　　With Dumbledore’s influence in the magic world, he must set a good example for other wizards to follow the rules, which is beneficial to the stability and development of the magic world.

　　 "They are stationed at all the entrances of the school grounds," Dumbledore continued, "During their stay here, I must make it clear: No one is allowed to leave the school without permission. The blame shouldn't be deceived by tricks or disguise-not even the invisibility cloak." He added this sentence expressionlessly.

　　"Dementors are born with no understanding of requests or excuses. So I warn each of you: don’t leave them any excuses to hurt you. I hope the prefects, and our new ones The chairperson of the Boys Student Union and the Chairperson of the Girls Student Union, you have to make sure that none of the students will conflict with Dementors."

　　 Percy was sitting only a few seats away from Harry, when he straightened his chest and looked around me impressively.

　　Yes, yes, Percy became the prefect of Gryffindor College. Seeing his appearance, he was obviously showing off!

　　"It is more pleasant," Dumbledore continued, "This year, I am very happy to welcome two new teachers to our team."

　　"The first one is Professor Lupin. He graciously agreed to fill the vacancy in the course of Defence Against the Dark Arts."

　　 There were some scattered, not very enthusiastic applause in the auditorium. Only those students who had been in the same car as him on the train clapped vigorously, and of course Maca was among them.

　　 To be honest, Maca still has a good impression of the werewolf professor... well, of course, maybe it's just because he is curious about the werewolf?

　　 Lupin sat among all the well-dressed teachers, looking particularly shabby.

　　 And Snape, who was sitting on the other side of the faculty seat, kept his eyes on Professor Lupin along the long table of the faculty member.

　　At Hogwarts, everyone knew that Snape had always wanted to be a teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and it was normal to be a little angry about this.

　　 What makes everyone strange is that the expression on Snape's face has surpassed anger, which is abomination. The feeling was exactly the same every time Snape put his eyes on Harry's face.

　　"As for the second teacher we appointed..."

　　After the less enthusiastic applause for Professor Lupin disappeared, Dumbledore continued.

　　 "Hmm... I regret to tell you that our teacher of the conservation of magical creatures, Professor Keitel Byrne, retired at the end of last year to have more time with his remaining mischief. However, I I am happy to say that it is not someone else, but Rubeus Hagrid to fill his vacancy. Hagrid has agreed to serve as a teacher in addition to serving as a hunting ground guard."

　　 As soon as Dumbledore’s voice fell, Maca clapped first—he knew he had to give Hagrid some encouragement, lest he always forget what he should and shouldn’t do as a teacher.

　　 "It's probably useless..." Maca thought as she slapped her hands dryly.

　　 He could hear that the applause on the Gryffindor table was exceptionally enthusiastic, and the cubs had always had a good sense of Hagrid.

　　 Especially Harry, he leaned forward to look at Hagrid, with a happy smile on his face.

　　 I saw Hagrid flushed with excitement, he stared at his big hands, his smile hidden in his messy black beard.

　　 Gradually, the applause subsided, and when Professor Dumbledore started talking again, everyone saw Hagrid wiping his eyes with the tablecloth.

　　 "Well, I think the important things are over," Dumbledore said, "Let's start eating!"

　　……

　　The new semester has begun, and everyone once again devoted themselves to the intense study.

　　 Since the third grade, there are elective courses.

　　 One is an ancient magic text, the other is Muggle studies, and there are two subjects related to divination-divination and arithmetic divination. Of course, don’t forget, there is Hagrid’s lesson on protecting magical creatures.

　　 Speaking of it, Maca is not good at divination, just like he is not good at astronomy, but he chose both divination and arithmetic classes.

　　 In addition, the ancient magic text class seemed to match Maca very well, but he didn't even have the interest to take a look.

　　 As for Hagrid’s lesson on protecting magical creatures, Maca thought about it and chose it. Anyway, the relationship between him and Hagrid was pretty good, and he still had to give it some face.

　　 It's just that he just intends to try a few lessons in the two divination courses, and the specific circumstances need to be calculated separately.

　　 But even so, this semester's Maca, in terms of busyness alone, is obviously better than before.

　　 Oh, right! There is one more thing I have to mention.

　　In this semester, a major event happened at Hufflepuff College-the Quidditch team at the college suddenly entered a semi-paralyzed state. And there is only one reason for its paralysis, that is, all the original members of the hospital team have retired!

　　 The first to retired were team Darren Chris and chaser Charles Brown, who had graduated with honor this year; and the two seventh-grade players who retired immediately after their resignation were imposed on them by the family. The pressure forced them to withdraw from the college team and concentrate on preparing for the NEWTs exam.

　　 So, the same seventh-grade seeker—the big beauty Charlotte also quit.

　　 There is only one sixth-grade batsman left, Mark Baker, who has nothing to do with this tragic situation, and he finally quit in desperation.

　　 In this way, the Hufflepuff Academy team is completely unpopulated in a dramatic way.

　　 At this point, Cedric Diggory must be mentioned. He won the presidency of Hufflepuff since last year. Since he took office, let alone, the popularity is really good.

　　Just ask, who wouldn’t like a boy who is sensible, handsome, and elegant?

　　 During one semester of Maca's low-key life, Cedric's reputation at Hufflepuff College rose rapidly, and the little badgers often compared him with Maca.

　　 And it is such a fast-rising handsome prefect, when the Hufflepuff Academy has such a serious problem, it is incumbent to take the matter to himself.

　　He personally served as the captain, recruited new players, and quickly restored the completely stagnant team to a normal training state.

　　 He even came to see Maca many times, hoping that he could rejoin the academy team. Although Maca did not agree, he always maintained a humble and elegant tone. He was not impatient or even resentful because of Maca's repeated rejections.

　　 It’s just that Maca really doesn’t have time to ride on the broomstick and fly around. There are so many things he has to do, and he can’t be too busy.

　　 No, he just finished the divination class, he has to rush to the classroom of the arithmetic divination class.

　　 To be honest, Professor Trelawney’s previous fortune-telling class really made him a little confused, and this was based on the premise that he had considered the content of fortune-telling in advance.

　　 "Why can the look of the tea dregs predict the future? What is the principle?" Maca couldn't understand this.

　　 What's more terrible is that none of the books on divination has explained the principles, as if this is an empirical discipline, which makes people suspicious.

　　Relatively speaking, arithmetic divination is much easier to understand.

　　 Whether it is the magical properties of numbers or the magical analysis of graphics, it is a kind of traceable subject, which makes Macache really interested.

　　 is just arithmetic divination usually requires a lot of complex calculations, a large number of formulas and formulas, so Maca feels like an advanced mathematics class that has gone academically.

　　 But in any case, the arithmetic divination class obviously has a better appetite for Maca than the divination class.

　　 Just when Maca was about to give up the divination class, he accidentally remembered a sentence from Professor Trelawney when he started the class.

　　"You have chosen a fortune-telling course~ IndoMTL.com~ This is the hardest course in all magic arts. I must warn you from the beginning: If you don’t have a'scope', then I can teach you something Very few. In this regard, books can only take you so far..."

　　 Yes, fortune-telling is undoubtedly a discipline that places great emphasis on talent, and this “talent” originates from the extension of blood.

　　 But this has nothing to do with the pure-blood theory of the wizard family. The "view" of divination begins with an awakening similar to an ancestral phenomenon, which has nothing to do with pure blood.

　　 It was this speculation that made Maca decide to continue taking this course that he "didn't understand", and tried to find some clues from Professor Trelawney for reference.

　　 In addition, Hagrid’s Protecting Magical Creatures class followed.

　　 Just yesterday, Malfoy was injured in Hagrid's class, and this incident quickly spread across Slytherin College. Malfoy and his two idiots were spreading around very hard, trying to make Hagrid's name bad.

　　 "Hagrid, how are you?"

　　Beside Hagrid’s cabin, some students from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw gathered in the clearing, waiting for others who hadn’t arrived yet.

　　Maca came to Hagrid and spoke to him.

　　 "Oh, I think so, okay."

　　 Hagrid obviously looked a little depressed, after all, something went wrong in the first class, which is not a good thing.

　　 "Don't worry! It's not a big deal..." Maca said, "But to be honest, eagles with horses and wings are classified at level 3X. I think they are not suitable for the first class of the third grade. Come as the course content, don’t you?"

　　 "But... but they are interesting," Hagrid argued weakly, "and very beautiful, what do you think?"
