Hogwarts: From Silent to Dark Lord

Chapter 424 Triwizard Tournament!!

“Oh no! Barrow the Blood… Please, don’t come over… I was wrong, I was really wrong, ah! ”

Peeves screamed and fled into the castle, as if he had seen something very terrifying, but in fact Barrow the Blood was not there at all.

“Barrow the Bloody? Where is he? ”

The little wizards were very puzzled, they didn’t see Blood Barrow at all, but looking at Peeves’ appearance, it didn’t seem to be playing a prank.

“Jamie, what magic did you use just now?”

Harry, Hermione, of course they saw Jamie’s movements, he cast a spell on Peeves, and Peeves was scared away.

“It’s just a fear spell that can make people see the most terrifying scene in their hearts, do you want to give it a try?”

Jamie said with a smile, revealing two rows of white teeth.

“No… No thanks. ”

Harry and they refused one after another, they didn’t want to try any fear spells, let alone see the most terrifying scene in their hearts.

“Thank you, Mr. Ball, for driving away mischievous Peeves.”

Professor McGonagall, the vice-headmaster and head of the Gryfin house, hurried out of the Great Hall, and she also saw the scene just now, knowing that Jamie had helped drive away the mischievous Peeves.

At Hogwarts, Peeves is the most mischievous ghost, and the only ones who can control him are Barrow and Dumbledore, who are a headache.

“You’re kind Professor McGonagall, this is what I’m supposed to do.”

Jamie said with a smile.

“Okay, everyone, go inside, enter the auditorium, don’t delay outside, hurry up!”

Professor McGonagall put on a face again and told everyone that of course she would have to stay and wait for the incoming first-year students, which was the job she needed to do every year

Toby and they walked through the foyer, through the two opposite doors on the right, and entered the Great Hall.

The auditorium is still so splendid, and it is specially decorated for the banquet of the new semester.

Hundreds of candles float above the tables, shining with gold saucers and goblets, and four long college tables are already filled with chattering students, and faculty members sit at the front, facing the students.

Toby sat down at the Gryffindor table, and Jamie walked over to the Slytherin table, because he was the only one from Slytherin House.

“Good evening.”

The Gryffindor ghost, almost headless Nick, smiled and snored at them, and he seemed to have dressed up specially for today’s dinner.

“Good evening, Sir Nick.”

Toby responded.

“Toby, I didn’t see this year’s Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, shouldn’t Professor Snape be allowed to take this year?”

Hermione glanced at the faculty chair and whispered to Toby.

Although Professor Snape’s teaching quality is good, his personality is really difficult to say, and he is particularly competitive with Gryffindor.

“It’s impossible, the task of the Potions class is also very heavy, no matter how powerful Professor Snape is, it is impossible to hold two main courses at the same time, I think this year’s Defense Against the Dark Arts professor may not have come yet, or something has dragged on, and it has not yet arrived.”

Toby replied that Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts were both compulsory, and the professor’s teaching tasks were already very heavy.

No professor can pick two main subjects by himself, unless he has a doppelganger.

A moment later, the door to the auditorium was opened, and Professor McGonagall walked in with a group of first-year freshmen who had been drizzled in soup, perhaps a little late this year because of the weather.

The freshmen were led to the front of the four long tables by Professor McGonagall, and as usual, Professor McGonagall lowered a triangular stool and placed a tattered, patched wizard hat on the stool.

Because of Toby’s proposal, although the sorting hat still looks tattered and patched, it is not as dirty and disgusting as before.

“That was more than a thousand years ago, I was just woven into shape, there are four famous wizards,……”

The Sorting Hat began to sing.

Each year the Sorting Hat sings a different song because it has a whole year to weave a new song.

After the Sorting Hat finished singing, there was a round of applause in the auditorium, and then Professor McGonagall unfolded a large roll of parchment and began the sorting ceremony.

During the sorting ceremony, Harry had been secretly looking at Cho Zhang at the Ravenclaw House leader’s table, his face flashed red from time to time, and the idiot looked like he didn’t know what to think.

Cedric at the Hufflepuff long table was also peeking at Cho Zhang, but he also saw another fiery line of sight, and following that line of sight, he found that it was actually Harry Potter.

“Sure enough, he wants to rob Qiu Zhang with me, but I won’t let you succeed.”

Cedric said in his heart that at the latest this year, he must confirm his relationship with Cho Zhang, and must not let others get ahead.

“Harry Potter, let’s see who between us has the higher means.”

Cedric stared at Harry with the look of his rival.

“Huh? Why did Cedric look at me like that? ”

Harry also felt Cedric’s hot gaze, and wondered in his heart, he and Cedric did not have much intersection, but why did the other party become hostile to him?

Although he couldn’t figure it out, Harry still smiled at Cedric, but in Cedric’s eyes, Harry’s friendly smile represented a provocation to him, as if to say “Come on, let’s try who can win Akibari’s heart”.

“He’s provoking me, well, I’ll accept your challenge.”

Cedric said in his heart.

Finally, with the last freshman sorted into Hufflepuff House, this year’s sorting ceremony finally ended, and Professor McGonagall picked up the sorting hat and the stool and left through the other door.

At this time, everyone looked at Dumbledore expectantly, and Dumbledore did not live up to everyone’s expectations, he stood up, looked at all his classmates with a smile, opened his arms, and made a welcoming gesture.

“I only have two words to say to you, eat!”

Dumbledore’s thick voice echoed in the Great Hall, and the quiet Great Hall suddenly became noisy.

For the little wizards who were already hungry, food was what they needed the most now, and as all kinds of food appeared on the long table, everyone began to eat, and even some wizards looked like they hadn’t eaten for days.

After everyone had eaten and drunk, the leftovers on the table disappeared instantly, and at this time, Headmaster Dumbledore stood up again, and the conversation of the little wizards stopped abruptly.

“Okay, I think everyone has eaten and drunk now, so please listen to the old tune of an old man, and I will announce a few notices below.”

“Mr. Filch, the janitor, wants me to tell you that this year, there are several more items prohibited in the castle, and they are screaming swimballs, toothed saucers, and combo return darts.”

“The entire list consists of about four hundred and thirty-seven items, which can be seen in Mr. Filch’s office, and those who are interested can check it.”

Dumbledore said, the corners of his mouth twitching a few times, and he seemed speechless about Filch’s behavior.

But for young wizards, especially those who love trick-or-treating and mischievous, they don’t care about any prohibitions, as long as they don’t get caught, no matter how many school rules you violate.

“In addition, as before, I would like to remind everyone that the Forbidden Forest on the other side of the venue is absolutely forbidden to enter, and an iron net has been erected there, and only Hagrid, the guardian of the hunting grounds, has the key.”

“As for Hogsmeade villages, students under the third year are not allowed to visit, and any student who violates the rules will be severely punished.”

Dumbledore’s words startled the first- and second-year students, especially the first-year students.

“Finally, I would like to regret to inform you that there will be no House Cup Quidditch tournaments this year.”

This made the quiet Great Hall noisy again, especially the students who loved Quidditch.

“It’s because a big event starts in October and lasts throughout the school year, taking up a lot of time and experience for the teachers – but I think you can have a lot of fun with it.”
