Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 14: Hogwarts teachers

Miss Gemma Farley cleared her throat, then pointed to the guest table, and began to introduce from right to left.

"On the far right is Professor Silvanos Kettleburn, who teaches Care of Magical Creatures, a subject you won't get into until your third year; Key keeper."

"There are rumors that he has always wanted to retire early so that he can concentrate on taking care of his little ones in the Forbidden Forest, but the principal has not been able to find a suitable successor."

"Of course, he likes the bad habit of dismantling his prosthetics in public, which is really inelegant."

……

"Sitting on Professor Kettleburn's left is Professor Pomona Sprout."

Matthew looked at the short witch with flowing gray hair at the guest table. She wore a thick hat full of patches, and there was a lot of mud on her body, looking very sloppy.

"Professor Sprout is a teacher of herbal medicine and the dean of Hufflepuff College. She is a witch with great talent for herbal medicine, and she is also a very relaxed professor. Herbal medicine courses have always been It is the easiest of all courses."

"Of course, she tends to prefer Hufflepuff students in many cases."

……

"Further to the left, we are the Head of Slytherin—"

Gemma Farley paused, and continued: "Professor Horace Slughorn!"

Matthew saw a bald old man as fat as a giant elephant. He had a pair of big protruding eyes and a silver beard as thick as a walrus, which looked a little funny.

"He is a Potions teacher. Like Professor Kettleburn, he is also a professor who wishes to retire but was rejected by the headmaster."

"Professor Slughorn's contacts in the magic world are very deep, because his favorite students are many high-end figures in various fields of the magic world, no matter whether they have a good reputation or a bad reputation... For example, the former is from the "Daily Prophet" The editor-in-chief is Barnabas Guffey, and the latter is represented by Lily Evans, a famous dark witch and wanted by the Ministry of Magic..."

Miss Farley's voice suddenly showed a bit of sarcasm: "Our dean treats the four colleges equally, but he only prefers students with prominent family backgrounds, or who he thinks are 'outstanding talents'!"

……

"Professor Slughorn's side is Professor Aurora Sinista."

This time, what Matthew saw was a dark-skinned witch, who was talking with Professor Slughorn while bowing her head.

"She is in charge of the astronomy class and is also the dean of Gryffindor. Professor Sinista is very knowledgeable in astronomy and prophecy. Even the headmaster often goes to the astronomy tower to discuss with her about the future. things."

"Also, in terms of homework, Professor Sinistra's requirements are very strict."

……

"And then, Professor Virgil Travers."

This time, Matthew saw a middle-aged wizard with a big beard and a slightly grim expression on his face.

"Professor Travers is in charge of the Muggle Studies class. To be honest, I always feel that his views on the courses are a bit biased...Of course, you won't be exposed to his courses before the third grade."

……

"We continue to the left, it is Professor Flitwick's turn."

Professor Flitwick was easy to spot because he was the only teacher sitting at a table instead of a stool.

"Professor Flitwick is the teacher of Charms and the head of Ravenclaw. He has part of the blood of goblins, so he is relatively short, but don't underestimate him because of this. The research in this area is excellent, perhaps second only to the principal."

"In addition, like Professor Sprout, the requirements for the Charms class are quite loose, and the test scores are also very high."

……

Looking at the guest table, Gemma Farley continued to introduce one by one——

Professor Rolanda Hooch from the flight class...Professor Batheda Babling from the ancient rune class...Professor Settima Victor from the arithmetic and divination class...

"Where's the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and the professor of Transfiguration?" After the other party had introduced all the teachers at the guest table, Matthew suddenly realized that there were still two holes to fill.

"The Defense Against the Dark Arts class is in charge of Principal Rozier; her research in this area is very deep, and of course, she is also very, very strict; I suggest that you better not annoy her easily, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. "Gemma Farley's face suddenly became serious, and she said seriously.

"Is that the Transfiguration teacher?" Matthew continued to ask.

"We don't know yet." Miss Farley spread her hands.

"Huh?"

"Professor Cutsell was fired before the end of last semester, and the new teacher has not yet taken office. I think we should be able to..." Miss Farley's voice suddenly stopped ~IndoMTL.com~ followed by She quickly pointed to the entrance of the auditorium:

"It should be him!"

Matthew looked around and saw that the vice-principal, Mrs. Vita Rozier, had returned to the Hogwarts auditorium; behind him was a thin man.

The man looked pale, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked very sick. Matthew frowned slightly. At this moment, he suddenly felt that the other party was not human at all.

"Does the Transfiguration teacher change often?" Matthew asked.

"Yes, there have been three appointments in the past ten years... The headmaster has high requirements for this subject and is often dissatisfied with the teachers he recruits." Gemma Farley simply replied : "So the replacement is more frequent."

"So, what about the principal?"

At the guest table, Matthew couldn't find Gellert Grindelwald.

And the middlemost seat of the guest seat has always been empty.

"Professor Grindelwald is a busy man. He is the president of the International Federation of Wizards, the chief wizard of the Wizengamot and the chief wizard of the Order of Merlin. Normally, he seldom stays at school." Farley The lady explained:

"But don't worry, no matter how busy Professor Grindelwald is on occasions like the school opening banquet, he will definitely come back."

As if in line with what Gemma Farley said——

In the center of the guest seat, a cloud of light blue smoke suddenly appeared.

The auditorium, which was noisy before, became quiet in an instant.

Everyone in the auditorium turned their attention to the smoke.

After the smoke cleared, a figure slowly appeared in front of them.
