Chapter 241: Dumbledore’S Comfort, The Sorting Hat That Brightens The Eyes

Chapter 241: Dumbledore’S Comfort, The Sorting Hat That Brightens The Eyes

McGonagall's heart skipped a beat.

Why does this sound so wrong?

You are a little wizard and you still want to reason with the Ministry of Magic.

Even if there are two Orders of Merlin, they won't take it seriously, right?

"Minerva, just leave this to me."

Just when Professor McGonagall didn't know how to continue this topic, Dumbledore's soft and gentle voice came.

"Albus."

"headmaster."

"Mr. Lawrence, I haven't seen you in the past summer, and you seem to have grown a lot taller." Dumbledore looked at the boy with a smile.

"Two inches," Wayne whispered.

In fact, it's not just him. By the third grade, many little wizards have completely grown up. Whether it is appearance or height, they have officially entered their peak period.

(Really, the third part is really the pinnacle. It is the best in the entire series in terms of movie quality and actor appearance.)

"Minerva, you go get the sorting hat first. The first years will be here soon [I, Mr. Kim and Mr. Lawrence will take care of things." | Dumbledore repeated.

Professor McGonagall nodded and went to get the sorting hat. .

Dumbledore led Wayne into a small room.

"What Minerva said just now was also to protect you." Time was a little rushed, and Dumbledore didn't have too many polite words with Wayne and went straight to the point.

"Well, I know, Professor McGonagall has always cared about me." Wayne nodded.

"I just didn't expect the Ministry of Magic...um...to actually complain."

The young man looked confused, he was really puzzled.

"Is the Ministry of Magic so brave that they actually come to trouble me for a few beasts?"

Dumbledore's mouth twitched.

This scolding was a bit too direct, at least with his education, he couldn't say this word.

"No matter what, the Dementors are still employees of the Ministry of Magic. The leader of the Dementors has complained, and Fudge must show a protective attitude." Dumbledore defended the Ministry of Magic.

"Are the Dementors paid?" Wayne asked curiously.

Dumbledore looked at him complicatedly.

Can your focus be placed in a normal place?

"I've never been the Minister of Magic, so I don't know much about these things."

"Then remember to tell me when you become the Minister of Magic." Wayne asked still seriously.

"It's something you can consider."

Dumbledore smiled, unfazed.

He wanted to be the Minister of Magic after defeating Grindelwald. Later, the Ministry of Magic invited him twice in a row, but he refused both times.

So Wayne is destined not to wait for that day.

Dumbledore continued: "I will ensure that the group of dementors stay away from the school and will not come close to Miss Granger and Miss Zhang, so please, for the sake of me, a lonely old man,

Don't do anything to those poor little guys. "

"They can't bear it."

Wayne looked at him in shock, "Poor little guy?"

How could your 37-degree mouth say such outrageous things?

Dumbledore didn't say anything, he just blinked and looked at the boy. Ron was finally defeated by the old man.

"I'll give you this face and let this matter pass."

Who makes him a kind Hufflepuff?

Dumbledore smiled, quite childishly.

The proper solution he just told Professor McGonagall was not to deal with the Ministry of Magic, but to deal with the young master in front of him.

It is undeniable that Dumbledore has always thought that he and Wayne got along quite happily.

Although the other person was a bit lively and caused him some trouble from time to time, overall, he liked Wayne's character very much.

But that doesn't mean that Dumbledore thinks Wayne is the same type of person as him.

A strong person, especially a strong person at the fault level, who doesn’t have his own pride?

It's just that everyone expresses it differently.

Grindelwald is flamboyant and despises all weaklings.

Dumbledore is restrained, possesses great power, but is limited in everything, and walks within the scope of the rules.

Just like playing house with children, this is also a kind of arrogance.

And the young man in front of him has undoubtedly been placed in the same position.

In Dumbledore's eyes, Wayne is an extremely smooth ball. Many people will like it very much when they see it. But if they want to reach out and touch it, the surface of the ball will instantly reverse, revealing countless spikes, killing those unlucky people who dare to offend his majesty. It's riddled with thorns.

The Ministry of Magic has undoubtedly committed such a taboo. If the two really confront each other, it will be a precursor to the third war.

That's why Dumbledore hurriedly came over to calm Wayne's mood, telling the young master not to remember the villain's faults and not be like the dementors.

Fortunately, Wayne is a good boy and was persuaded by him.

For a moment, I actually felt a sense of accomplishment having saved the magic world again.

The conversation went smoothly, and Dumbledore was in a good mood, teasing with a half-smile.

"Mr. Lawrence, those reports at the end of last semester caused me a lot of trouble."

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Wayne pretended to be stupid.

"Although I'm a little old and confused, I can still see this little thing clearly. It's boring for you to do this."

"Don't slander me without evidence. I'm just an ordinary member of many dissatisfied students."

An old man and a young man quarreled and walked towards the auditorium.

"Dumbledore!"

It happened that Professor McGonagall also came back and walked over angrily, holding a hat that could brighten the blindness in his hand.

"Professor, Professor McGonagall is looking for you. I have chosen him."

Wayne's expression changed, and he immediately ran away when he realized something was wrong.

.......

"What does Professor McGonagall want from you?"

As soon as Wayne sat down, Cedric across from him couldn't wait to ask, and a lot of little badgers also cast curious glances.

"The Ministry of Magic complained that I bullied the dementors, and Professor McGonagall asked me to be gentler in the future."

In an instant, the long table burst into laughter, and Susan Bones held her stomach: "When you say that, I feel so pitiful for the Dementors. They are obviously out in the field to search for Black [but they are still being bullied by you." 1

"Poor?" Hannah smiled evilly and held Susan's braid: "Then why don't you go comfort them?

"Don't stop." Susan stopped smiling immediately, "I just mean that Wayne said fun, and did not really sympathize with deuns, who would be poor."

"No points deducted, right?" Cedric said.

"What, if I get deducted points, you, the prefect, are going to start criticizing me?" Wayne said angrily.

"Fart." Cedric lowered his voice: "If you lose points, I can quickly find a reason to help you make up for it. Prefects have a certain amount every year. If you don't use it, it will be in vain."

OK OK.

Wayne looked at the model student with admiration. He had just become an official and had the consciousness to seek personal gain. The young man had a future.

"No points will be deducted, and being on the train does not count as the beginning of school, so nothing will happen."

"That's good."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief for Wayne, and the atmosphere became joyful again.

Boom!

The door on the side was opened, and the freshmen enrolling this year filed in, and the voices of conversations suddenly became quieter.

Looking at a group of extremely nervous little Doudings, students from any grade showed emotion.

I think they came here like this back then. The little wizards from wizarding families were frightened by their parents, and the little wizards from Muggle families were frightened by other children. Anyway, everyone was scared.

Especially the year before last, some people cried.

But after looking at it, many people realized that something was wrong.

"Isn't...the number of freshmen a bit too much?" Norman said with some uncertainty: "Both queues are so long?"

Cedric moved his fingers together and counted silently, and quickly got the accurate data.

"One hundred and sixty-six, that's really a lot more."

"We only have more than 120 people in this session."

"So are we."

The auditorium became noisy again, and Professor McGonagall frowned and shouted: "Quiet!"

The little wizards lowered their voices.

Then when Professor McGonagall placed the sorting hat on the bench, everyone was shocked again.

"Pfft!"

Those guys with poor tolerance burst out laughing, their faces turning red even if they couldn't hold it in.

At this time, the Sorting Hat completely changed its appearance. There were more than a dozen feathers from various birds stuck on the worn brim, and there were colorful metal sequins stuck to the hat with a few gems in the middle.

"Are you also amazed by my new look?" The Sorting Hat was completely unaware, grinned a little and sang.

At the guest of honor seat, Snape's stiff face twitched, and he leaned slightly closer to Lao Deng: "What are you crazy about?"

Dumbledore said helplessly: "Maybe you should ask Mr. Lawrence."

Snape quickly found Wayne on the Hufflepuff table. If the young man noticed something, he gave him a harmless smile.

But soon, Wayne stopped laughing.

Because the Sorting Hat actually sold him out!

Just listen to the Sorting Hat sing the great deeds of the Big Four as usual, and the tone becomes more high-pitched.

"The genius wizard named Lawrence has dressed me up, and I will carry out the ancient cause with a new look.

Swish, swish, swish!

At this time, no one cared about what the Sorting Hat was singing. The eyes of nearly a thousand teachers and students were all looking for the culprit.

boom!

Wayne lay down on the table and buried his face.

Gan!

Miscalculated!

Yeah.

Professor McGonagall's eyes could literally spit out fire. Dumbledore was hesitating just now and couldn't explain clearly, but now he has finally caught the culprit!

Toby stared at Wayne who was pretending to be dead. He opened and closed his mouth. He had a lot to say, but in the end he just said one sentence...

"Awesome!"

He and Wayne learned this term, and they could never find a suitable occasion before.

It couldn't be more relevant now.

In such a strange atmosphere, the Sorting Hat returned to silence. Although Professor McGonagall wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Mr. Lawrence now, it was obvious that the sorting ceremony was more important.

She pulled out the list and read, "Barnes Austin!"

A fat young man ran up to me with a look of reluctance on his face: "Professor, can I not wear this hat?"

"No." Professor McGonagall almost gritted his teeth and said, "Don't waste everyone's time, Mr. Odin.

He looked at the hat and then at Professor McGonagall who was about to explode at any moment.

It was the lesser of the two, and in the end, he put on his hat with a look of despair.

Within a few seconds, the Sorting Hat shouted:

"Gryffindor!"

The little lions burst into warm applause as they welcomed this year's first newcomer into their academy.

If you dare to question Professor McGonagall, this guy is pretty tough and he was assigned to the right school.

The next sorting process was also very fast. It only took a few seconds for everyone to make a decision, and the team was rapidly decreasing.

"..Rolf Goldstein!"

Wayne stopped pretending to be dead and looked at the Sorting Hat.

A freckled boy comes

When I arrived in front of the Sorting Hat, I kept my head down the whole time and almost tripped over my own feet. I was very nervous.

It is Newt's grandson, Rolf Scamander.

Goldstein is Tina's original surname, and Newt also hopes that Rove will not receive unnecessary attention because of his relationship.

So after getting Dumbledore's consent and help, Rolf Goldstein was born.

As soon as the brim of the hat almost touched Rove's hair, he couldn't wait to announce the result: "Hufflepuff!"

Bang bang bang!

Wayne took the lead in applauding. The little badgers were a little puzzled to see him so excited, but they didn't want to keep up with him.

The voice was much louder than the previous students.

Rolf was even more embarrassed. He even forgot to return the hat when he ran down. He only realized it when Professor McGonagall stopped him and quickly returned it.

Soon, when the last student was also sorted into Hufflepuff, Professor McGonagall took the sorting hat and high stool and left the auditorium through the side door, not wanting to stay for a moment.

Dumbledore stood up.

"Welcome! Another wonderful school year is about to begin!" He looked at the children with a smile, feeling much better.

"I believe that everyone is already hungry and waiting for sumptuous food to fill their stomachs, but I'm sorry that while you can still concentrate, there are a few things that must be announced.

Make sure you do your part. "

Dumbledore's expression became solemn.

"The first thing I want to say is the most important thing." He paused: "Our school has welcomed a few Dementors. I believe you have met them. They were on the train.

They conducted a search under the orders of the Ministry of Magic in order to find the fugitive wanted criminals. "

"They are stationed at every entrance of the school. Please remember that no one is allowed to leave the school without permission. No trick or disguise can fool the dementors - including the invisibility cloak."

Speaking of the invisibility cloak, Dumbledore looked at Harry specifically, and then continued: "I hope the Head Boy and Head Boy can ensure that little wizards and dementors are not allowed to conflict, lest they be

Hurt each other. "

Percy straightened his chest and looked around to show his presence, but Dumbledore didn't pay attention to him. Instead, he looked directly at Wayne, and after he nodded slightly, he revealed (

Zhao Li Zhao) smiled.

"But don't worry too much. Dementors will not enter the school. As long as you abide by the school rules, there will be no changes in your family's life.

Click!

Wayne's hand made a crisp sound, only a few people around heard it.

"What are you doing?" Toby asked quietly.

Wayne said quietly: "Recording..."

Toby: "???"

What’s so good about recording this!

Then, Dumbledore's eyes moved to the guest of honor seat, and his smile became a little stronger.

"Now that's the pleasant talk."

"I am happy to announce that two new and old players have joined our lineup."

"In the summer, Professor Kettleburn submitted his resignation to me. Your Professor of Care of Magical Creatures chose to travel around the world. Then, Rubeus Hagrid will succeed him.

Bit!"

"At the same time, he still retains his function as a gamekeeper and protects our forbidden forest."

This news shocked everyone at once, and Harry and Ronald looked at each other in surprise.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Wayne took the lead in applauding, followed closely by the little badgers, followed by Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and finally, even Slytherin joined in the applause.

Just kidding, Lawrence has already expressed his opinion, don’t you dare not give him face?

Hagrid stood up to greet him excitedly, and Professor Sprout quickly grabbed the table to prevent it from being knocked over.

When Hagrid sat down, Dumbledore continued.

"As for the second one, Professor Lupin, he agreed to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, which really helped me a lot." Dumbledore let out a long sigh of relief.

"I know that many people have different opinions on my previous selections, and I would like to apologize to you again."

Dumbledore bowed slightly, "Please forgive an old man's dim eyesight."

"But I guarantee that Professor Lupine will be an outstanding professor, and no one is more suitable for this position than him!"

To Dumbledore's right, Snape's face turned completely dark and he stared at Lupin on the other side.

Enemies meet on a narrow road!
