Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 150: A Different Orientation Dinner

"Perhaps everyone has seen it on the Change number today, but I think you still have some doubts. Taking advantage of the new enrollment has not been divided into classes, I want to give you a special introduction-the transfer student, Maca McLean."

In the auditorium of Durmstrang Castle, a regular school welcome dinner is being held.

This is a large auditorium not much smaller than the Hogwarts auditorium. Although the furnishings on the walls are simple, they are as meticulous as Durmstrand’s philosophy of school governance.

The school badge pennant composed of extinct two-headed waterfowl and horned skulls is neatly arranged on the walls on both sides. Although it is not fancy, it has an extraordinary momentum.

But on the back wall facing the gate, it was only carved with an ancient wand with a long pole, and the background was an unknown shield-shaped badge with a black round shape, which made people wonder.

The atmosphere of Durmstrang’s dinner is also very different from Hogwarts. The dining tables here are all placed sideways, and everyone sits neatly in fixed positions, with only the sound of tableware colliding and deliberately lowered whispers.

At the forefront, in addition to the dining table of the faculty and staff, there is also a large platform half-person high. At this moment, there is no one on it.

It can be seen that under Karkaroff's cold teaching policy, the personalities of the students have been suppressed.

At this moment, Karkaroff's words made the following whispers a little messy.

Quidditch World Cup and other major events, the influence of Durmstrang, who has many fans, is not to mention, there were many students and even teachers at the game.

The name "Maca McLean", not to mention everyone knows, is not much different.

"...Then, all freshmen are invited to enter!"

As soon as Karkaroff's words fell, the door of the auditorium opened. The new students, led by Maca, walked slowly to the faculty seat in front of the hall.

"Principal, is this all right?"

At this moment, a thin male teacher with his back suddenly asked.

Karkaroff frowned and said impatiently, "Of course it's okay, Orson."

The other teachers just glanced at them and didn't say much.In their opinion, not arguing with Karkaroff is the most appropriate choice.

The old wizard who didn't know whether it was "Osen" or "Osen" opened his mouth, but in the end he shook his head and ate the food on his plate.

In the front of the auditorium, the freshmen lined up in a row with Maca, and stood still in front of the faculty seat with a little anxiety.

Most of them hadn't eaten yet. Seeing that the meal had already begun in the auditorium, the stomachs of several little wizards were groaning.

"McLean, you are different from other freshmen. You are a transfer student, and you should be promoted to the fourth grade... But I hope you know that in terms of teaching arrangements, our school and Hogwarts There is a big difference."

Karkaroff paused, and then continued, "For freshmen enrolled in our school, each teacher will freely choose students to teach, and each student has the right to change his own teacher at any time-the number of times that can be changed will be yours. The credits earned are determined."

Yes, credits!

This is a very interesting rule in Durmstrang: in this school, many resources can be exchanged for credits, including library borrowing, potion materials, various magic items and so on.

It is said that this is a key school regulation introduced by the school’s second principal, "Harfon Monte".

And this principal who established Durmstrang College’s tradition of focusing on duels and combat magic, has built the way for students to earn credits on the strength of each little wizard.

Whether it’s getting individual rankings in three duel competitions in each semester, group rankings in class competitions at the end of each school year, or even invitational duels due to various personal grievances-as long as you are on the school’s designated venue and If you win the rules, you can get the corresponding credits.

I have to say that when Maca learned of this regulation from Krum, he immediately became interested in this very competitive teaching model.

"Teachers, who of you wants McLean as a transfer student?" Karkaroff asked very directly to the teachers sitting beside him.

However, the teachers who had been staring at Maca since just now became silent.

Maca made a big fuss at the World Cup, and all the things he did against the British Ministry of Magic made the headlines. Now, who would dare to accept such a thorn to be a student?

I heard that he had fought with Dumbledore once, although it seemed that he didn't get a deal, but even retreating under Dumbledore's hands was a remarkable and amazing record.

To be honest, when he is a teacher, will he be beaten?

If someone asks Karkaroff that way, he will tell you that-this kid might use the "weapon" with his right hand, but his left hand will punch you in the face!

Seeing that the teachers all had an expression of "Don't find me about this", Maca couldn't help shrugging, and stretched out his hand to the position of the "Osen" who had just spoken.

"Professor Orson, would you like to teach me?"

Orson was stunned for a moment. He looked at Karkaroff, then at the other teachers around him, and finally hesitated and nodded.

"Then follow me to learn..."

Suddenly, some of the students below stared--obviously, those should be Orson's existing students.

Then, after the freshmen were selected by a type of teacher, the dinner was officially started.Seeing that Karkaroff didn't seem to have any intention of arranging a seat for him, Maca simply found an empty seat in the back and sat down.

The meal was very quiet and he could feel it. The students didn't want to get too close to him.A little fat man next to him even moved his chair purposely, giving Maca a lot of space.

On the right hand side of Maca, the weak-looking little witch did not move, but her head was lower and lower, and her nose was almost rubbing against the vegetable salad on the plate.

It didn't matter if Maca himself was ignored, but he seemed to scare the little girl a bit.

...

Compared with Durmstrang College, the atmosphere of the Hogwarts welcome dinner is much hotter.

At this moment, in the auditorium at Hogwarts, Dumbledore began his speech...

"Okay!" Dumbledore looked at everyone with a smile, and said, "Now that we are all full and full, I must ask everyone to pay attention again. I want to announce a few notices."

"Mr. Filch, the janitor, wants me to tell you that this year, the prohibited items in the castle have added a few more items. They are screaming swimming balls, toothed flying saucers and combo boomerangs... The entire list includes about 400 Thirty-seven items can be seen in Mr. Filch’s office. Those who are interested can check it."

You can notice that the corners of the mouth seemed to twitch a few times.

He continued: "As before, I want to remind everyone that students cannot enter the Forbidden Forest on the other side of the venue, and in Hogsmeade Village, students below the third grade are not allowed to visit."

"I also regret to tell you that the Academy Cup Quidditch will not be held this year."

Everyone couldn't help but burst into a rush.

Dumbledore continued: "This is because a large event will start in October and will last the entire school year, occupying a lot of the teachers' time and energy-but I believe you can all have a lot of fun. I I am very happy to announce to everyone that this year at Hogwarts—"

At this moment, a deafening thunder sounded from the clouds outside the castle, and the door was pushed open roughly.

A man stood at the door, leaning on a long cane and wrapped in a black travel cloak.Everyone in the auditorium turned their heads to look at the stranger. Suddenly a fork-shaped lightning flashed across the ceiling, and Hermione gasped.

Lightning illuminated the man's face so clearly, the students couldn't help but shrink their heads, because everyone had never seen such a face.

It is like being carved out of a piece of decaying wood. If only one word is used to describe it, it would be "incomplete".

Every inch of skin on that face seemed to be scarred, his mouth looked like a big slanted opening, but the place where his nose should have been raised was missing.

And the most frightening thing about this man is his eyes.

One of his eyes is small, but it is shining sharply; the other eye is big, round like a coin, and it is a bright blue with a gleam.

The blue eye didn’t blink, it just kept moving in the eye socket, spinning up and down, left and right, completely irrelevant to the direction that normal eye was looking at—later, the blue eyeball Suddenly, the child turned over and turned to the inside of the person's eye socket. Only a large white eyeball remained in the eye socket.

The man leaned on a cane with a deep foot and a shallow foot, but he walked to Dumbledore very quickly.He stretched out a hand, which was as scarred as his face.

Dumbledore shook his hand, whispered something.He seemed to be asking the man about something, the weird man shook his head blankly, and answered in a low voice.

Dumbledore nodded and motioned the man to sit in an empty seat to his right.

The stranger sat down, shook his head, and shook his long gray hair from his face, then pulled a plate of sausages and held it up to his mutilated nose and sniffed it.He took a knife out of his pocket, stuck it in one end of a sausage, and ate it.

His normal eye was staring at the sausage, but the blue eye was still turning around in the socket of the eye non-stop, looking at the auditorium and the classmates.

"Allow me to introduce our new Defence Against the Dark Arts class teacher," Dumbledore broke his silence happily, "Professor Moody."

Normally, when the new teacher meets with everyone, everyone will applaud and welcome, but now, apart from Dumbledore and Hagrid, no teacher or student applauds.) !!
