Chapter 226 Dinner
"Don't worry, kid, I personally guarantee you that nothing will threaten the lives of students this semester."
Dumbledore said very solemnly.
"No, you'd better take it back, I'm a little scared"...
Zhang Qi thought secretly in his heart.
"It's not too early now. I guess the sorting ceremony below should be over soon. If I don't return to my seat now, Minerva will be angry again"...
Dumbledore glanced at an antique grandfather clock not far away, and then stood up.
"Come on, kid, are you hungry too"?
…………
It was a coincidence that when the two of them teleported to the auditorium, Professor McGonagall had just finished the sorting ceremony for this new class of students.
"Ah, sorry, kids, I have some things that are temporarily delayed."
Dumbledore appeared on the podium and said with a smile.
"First of all, everyone must be hungry, but you still have to listen to me, an old man, before eating."
"As compensation for everyone, after dinner, the prefects of each college will take the students back to their dormitories directly, and we will not sing the school song!"
"Great"!
The students in the audience suddenly became commotion, and some even shouted excitedly.
"It seems that our dear principal still has some sense of his musical taste."
Zhang Qi, who had just sat down, said to Draco, who was sitting next to him.
"I have long been dissatisfied with this old man's taste in music. Every time I sang the school song, I had to cover my ears."
Draco couldn't agree more.
"Were you scared on the train just now? Eat a piece of chocolate to calm down the shock. This thing is very effective in alleviating the after-effects of a dementor attack."
Zhang Qi took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and handed it over.
"What did you call those things?"
Draco took the chocolate in shock and asked.
"Just listen."
Zhang Qi pointed to Dumbledore on the table.
"I would like to apologize to everyone. Due to the Ministry of Magic's pursuit of fugitives, some unfriendly things will be guarding the area around the school for a long time."
"Dementors are dark magical creatures that feed on people's positive emotions. These things are the guards of Azkaban Prison. They have never known what forgiveness and satisfaction are, and if possible, they will even Directly sucking out human souls, the person whose soul is eaten will become a walking zombie without self-awareness."
"During this semester, don't try to get close to them, let alone try to anger them. If an unexpected incident occurs, please contact the dean of your respective students to handle it in time."
Dumbledore finished these words with a very serious face, then he cleared his throat and continued:
"In this school year, we have welcomed a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher - Mr. Remus Lupin. He will be responsible for your teaching tasks for a whole semester. Please welcome him with applause."
Lupine stood up from his seat on the teacher's bench and waved to the students in the audience.
The students on the Slytherin side booed after seeing his tattered clothes.
The students from other colleges were very enthusiastic, mainly because they saw the teacher's concentration when he was running for them on the train, and their first impression of Lu Ping was better.
"Cough cough"!
Zhang Qi looked at the people around him who were booing and frowned. Then he clapped first and coughed a few times while applauding.
The loudest Slytherin students immediately shut up and began to applaud.
"It is a very good character not to judge people by their appearance, and it is also a good performance to be able to use your appeal in the right place."
Dumbledore nodded on the podium and showed a smile.
"At the same time, your dear Professor of Care of Magical Creatures has chosen to retire due to his age, and his position will be succeeded by someone you are familiar with."
When Dumbledore said this, he pointed his finger at Hagrid on the staff bench.
"Mr. Gamekeeper Hagrid will be in charge of your Care of Magical Creatures class this term."
Everyone in Gryffindor cheered. Hagrid stood up awkwardly and wanted to say hello to everyone, but his too protruding belly knocked over the entire long table.
With the help of several professors, the long table that had been knocked over was turned over again, and the dinner officially began.
"That talisman was all burned."
Daphne placed a burned talisman on the table before eating.
"It's normal. This thing is a disposable item. Just throw it away later."
Zhang Qi glanced at the talisman paper that had been completely carbonized and turned black, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
"Oh my god, when Erlu Shen met the Blood Demon before, an amulet lasted for half an hour before half of it was burned. How come it burned like this in just two or three minutes when it came back to me?"
"Dementors don't seem to be that lethal, but if you look at the burning effect of this talisman, I'm afraid it's not as good as many high-level ghosts"...
Zhang Qi frowned and thought carefully, then shook his head.
I am not particularly familiar with the undead creatures native to China.But according to Mr. Lin, the closer the relationship between the undead and the God of Death is, the more difficult it is to deal with it.
Maybe Dementors and Death are very close in personality?
Feeling as if he had grasped something, Zhang Qi picked up a piece of steak from the table with a fork, put it on his plate, and then began to eat it in an elegant but speedy way.
Anyway, these things don't dare to enter the campus at will. Even if they do, they have a certain ability to protect themselves.
The days to come are still long, enough time for me to slowly study these disgusting things.
"Well, it feels like you don't eat as much as before. This is a good sign and means that your physical condition has temporarily stabilized."
Zhang Qi glanced at Astoria's plate and nodded after seeing that there were a lot fewer chicken bones in it than last semester.
"But my sister's appetite is still much larger than that of many boys. Now I'm starting to worry that she won't be able to get married."
Daphne said with a grimace, and then looked at Zhang Qi with a rather cautious expression.
"Uh"……
Zhang Qi froze suddenly after hearing this, and the fork in his hand almost pricked his hand.
This girl definitely said this on purpose, and Zhang Qi seriously suspected that Daphne had colluded with his unreliable mother in advance.
