v2 Chapter 404： The future has not yet come, let's go far together

The auditorium was quiet for a while before there was applause, but the students couldn't stop whispering, and there were old students whispering everywhere.

Sean applauded along with him, and Hermione and Daisy sitting next to him did the same, with the same weird look on their faces as Sean.

"The Sorting Hat never seemed so odd?"

"Because this time the school started at the wrong time, plus the disappearance accident not long ago."

"Probably, it hasn't been very peaceful recently..."

Sean could hear the low-pitched conversations of the other classmates at the table, and Hermione, a good student beside him, frowned and whispered: "Digress from the topic this year..."

Don't think about the word "off topic" at this time...

Sean shook his head and laughed softly: "In previous years, the Sorting Hat was not like this even if there were new songs. Generally speaking, the focus of the songs was on the description of the four founders and the quality and requirements of the four academies, etc. This time is indeed different. ."

Daisy also interjected in a low voice: "The Sorting Hat is warning us? This doesn't seem like a hat should do."

Hermione retorted: "The Sorting Hat is part of Hogwarts, the situation is really bad, and the warning is justifiable - don't forget, it's from Godric Gryffindor, and it even wears The magic of the other three founders."

"I even stayed in Hogwarts, a natural magical place for more than a thousand years." Sean added.

"The most important thing is that it still stays in the principal's room." A faint voice came from the side.

Sean turned his head to see Lady Helena, Ravenclaw's ghost.

"Oh, ma'am, good evening, I haven't seen you for a long time."

A smile appeared on Helena's cold face: "Sean, thank you for that photo."

"You're welcome - by the way, ma'am, has the Sorting Hat made a new song like this before?" Sean asked.

Helena recalled: "I didn't pay much attention to this...but I knew that if Hogwarts was in danger, the Sorting Hat did warn me. My mother used to tell me that the Sorting Hat was in a way It can be seen as a part of Hogwarts consciousness, this is not the magic given by the four of them, but the magical characteristics evolved by the Sorting Hat itself."

The Sorting Hat can be seen as a part of Hogwarts consciousness in a way... Sean pondered this sentence with his chin up.

He didn't get much time to think, though.

Professor McGonagall took a thick stack of parchment and coughed lightly, then stood beside the Sorting Hat.

The rustling voice in the auditorium suddenly calmed down.

"Next, the sorting begins, and the freshman I read the name will go forward and put the sorting hat on his head."

"Camber Axton."

A black and thin black boy stumbled up and put on his hat.

"Ravenclaw!" Before long, the Sorting Hat called out the name of the house.

Camber Axton breathed a sigh of relief and ran to the Ravenclaw long table with small steps.

Sean and the other students applauded enthusiastically, during which Campbell Axton nodded gratefully to Sean.

The kid was so nervous when he was teleported by the door key before, Sean comforted him a few words.

Daisy glanced at the freshman team and whispered, "There are so many people, it feels a lot more than our class."

"To be precise, a total of 246 freshmen." Sean explained.

"Wow, that's nearly a hundred more than our class." Daisy exclaimed.

"According to Sean's character, it must be counting the number of students—" Hermione said while looking around, "However, it seems that many of the freshmen are from other countries? Look at those two freshmen, they are saying English, right? But the mouth is so tight, it's like holding the voice in your mouth... Are they French?"

Sean looked over and nodded after hearing the words: "It's really French. Although they don't look like them, they are twins."

Hermione turned her head and looked at Sean suspiciously: "What the **** happened this year?"

Sean shrugged: "Stole some of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's sources—Hogwarts doesn't lack a place to live anyway."

"what?"

At this moment, in the magnificent manor of the Pyrenees, Madame Maxime, with the blood of a giant, was frowning in the principal's office and listening to the people in front of her.

"...that's about it, ma'am."

"The little wizard from a Muggle family was robbed of most of them by Hogwarts..." Madame Maxime closed her eyes like a huge statue, "I knew that I shouldn't do these little things in front of Dumbledore. "

"The lady, do we want to communicate with Hogwarts?"

"What to communicate? Exchange students from both sides? Do you consider children as tradable items?" Madame Maxime's voice was filled with displeasure. Alright... go ahead and prepare the dinner."

"Yes, ma'am."

The same thing happened in northern Scandinavia, except that Mr. Ingor Karkaroff, the principal of Durmstrang, was not as calm as Mrs. Maxim.

He lost his temper in the headmaster's office, and angrily asked the subordinates in front of him: "How could Hogwarts know that we are not recruiting students from the local area?! The news given there is not to say that Dumbledore has not even been recruited recently. Not at school?! He's the **** of wizards and can see everything?!"

The subordinate's lips twitched, afraid to speak.

"Durmstrang has already put down his body to recruit those Mudbloods!" Karkaroff smashed a vase with force, his chest heaving violently, "As a result, you told me that there are even fifty students this year. No?!"

"Are you going to make Durmstrang a preschool?! Huh?!"

"Do we have as many people in a school as there are in a year at Hogwarts?!"

Facing Karkaroff's anger, his subordinates had to bow their heads.

He actually wanted to say that it was none of his business. Durmstrang has been in decline for a long time. Even though he recruited young wizards from Muggle families this year, the source of students is similar to previous years...

The main thing is that Nurmengard is too ruthless to grab people. Even in Germany, many famous pure-blood families no longer choose Durmstrang.

Of course, he could only think about these words in his heart.

After making a fire and driving his subordinates away, Karkaroff stared gloomily out of the pitch-black window, his face uncertain.

"Dumbledore...you old fox..."

The two principals never imagined that the plan to steal the home didn't even come from Dumbledore.

Of course, if they knew, they might be even more angry.

…

Hogwarts Castle.

In the auditorium, the rate at which the freshmen queue was shortened was much slower than before. In addition, it took a lot of time to wait for the freshmen to arrive today, so many students were already grumbling in their stomachs.

Daisy glanced at the long classroom table for a while, and the freshman team for a while, then secretly lowered her head under the table and quickly stuffed a piece of candy into her mouth.

Hermione glanced at Sean aside: "She eats too much candy! You always bring her candy!"

Sean smiled and persuaded: "It's not a big problem, and it's been too long to wait tonight, so let's add some energy first."

Daisy got her head out from under the table, her cheeks bulging.

"I also think Sijie thinks!"

"Go eat your candy." Hermione tapped her on the head.

Just when everyone was starving, the last student finally put on the sorting hat.

The Sorting Hat shouted as soon as it touched the little girl's head.

"Gryffindor!"

The little lions burst into applause and cheers that were much warmer than before, and even the students of other colleges applauded.

The little girl named Fremea Zilmer was almost terrified, and was finally led to the long table in Gryffindor by Fred and George.

Then, everyone immediately looked at Dumbledore, who had been smiling and watching all this.

Dumbledore did not disappoint everyone. He stood up and said with a hearty smile: "Welcome, welcome to the extra large team of freshmen this time, but more should be left to the back, let's enjoy the food first!"

The loudest applause of the evening broke out in the auditorium, and was immediately replaced by the sound of knives, forks, cups and plates colliding.

"There are so many dishes today." Hermione happily took a French foie gras.

"There will be just as many in the future - that's good news." Shawn echoed with a smile.

Since there have been no wizard wars in the past 100 years, and no perverted and mentally ill no-nosed monsters are killing people everywhere, the number of wizards has grown considerably.

Although there is one more Nurmengard vying for students, the number of students at Hogwarts is still increasing year by year.

Although this year's new students arrived half a year late, the number was huge, which made the entire auditorium even more lively.

The banquet, which was noisier than before, lasted for a long time. After everyone was full, the noise in the auditorium subsided a little.

Dumbledore rose from the headmaster's chair.

"Delicious dinners are disappearing, I have to say a few words when your brains are completely scrambled for energy by your stomachs, or I'm afraid you will forget when you wake up tomorrow."

There was a burst of laughter in the auditorium.

"Although I shouldn't use the adjective new semester, I have to talk about the precautions for the new semester," Dumbledore smiled, "First-year freshmen should know that the forbidden forest in the hunting ground is not allowed by students - although We have suspended all outdoor classes at the moment, but considering the opening day, I still have to remind you, including some senior students."

"There are still some Dementors stationed on the borders of Hogwarts," Dumbledore's voice became serious, "Although you will not have the chance to meet them under normal circumstances, I must remind you not to give This emotionless creature has any chance of harming you, and our prefects and co-chairs should always remind your classmates of this."

Sean saw Percy's chest rise.

"Also, our administrator, Mr. Filch, begged me, and he told me it was the 404th time. He begged me to remind everyone not to cast spells in the hallway between classes—and more rules, of course. It will be posted on the bulletin board."

Dumbledore looked around at everyone and smiled kindly: "Let's listen to some good news to change our mood - considering everyone's entertainment needs, several of our professors are working together to build an indoor Quidditch in the castle. Strange Stadium…”

Before he finished speaking, the four major academies burst into enthusiastic cheers, and many people even jumped up excitedly—for example, Harry.

"Please be quiet, please be quiet - it must be said that the indoor Quidditch pitch is certainly not as wide as the outdoors, but a less wild Quidditch match should be enough, by the way, the cadets Your captain can start the Quidditch selection, and it won't be long before you'll be able to use the new pitch."

"Before singing our school anthem, I have a message for everyone - the future has not yet come, let us travel together on the long road."

There was warm applause in the auditorium.

When the school song was over, all the students started walking towards the dormitory, it was too late, and everyone was drowsy because of the delicious food.

The huddled freshmen lined up awkwardly under the command of the prefects, and they too were tired all day.

By the time Sean returned to his bedroom, slumped into his floppy four-poster bed, his eyelids were already fighting.

He has been maintaining a relatively tense and very busy state recently, and he is almost used to it, so he can maintain a relatively awake state all year round.

But I don't know why, although today's workload is not large, Sean just feels that he is extremely sleepy.

But this exhaustion and sleepiness is not due to work or emotions, but more like a feeling of relaxation.

At the moment when his eyes were about to close, Sean remembered the last words of the Sorting Hat and Dumbledore.

The Sorting Hat says: Either you, or them, or more

I all want you to hear...

Dumbledore said: The future has not yet come, let us travel together on the long road.

What a lot of meaning to hide... Sean thought in a daze.

Then he fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Sean woke up refreshed after a deep sleep all night, and went to the staff lounge first.

Yes, he is now a Hogwarts staff member.

Professor McGonagall told himself yesterday, UU reading www. uukanshu.com freshman's first transfiguration class, she was going to give it all to Sean.

Sean couldn't do much about this, but in the end he agreed.

Now that it's all up to you, you have to do it well. This is the most important first lesson.

While he was preparing for teaching, there was a sudden noise outside the door.

Then, two people pushed the door and walked in.

"I'm here to work, not to fight you, Ms. Hawke, please pay attention to your words."

"Scott, don't think I'll give you a good look if you work with me, this is Hogwarts, not Nurmengard."

Two young men, a man and a woman, appeared in front of them.

Sean's face became weird.

How did these two enemies get together here?
