The Rise of the Muggles at Hogwarts

Chapter 228 The first day of school (1)

Slytherins - Okay!Slytherin was still the same Slytherin, expecting them to welcome Hagrid rather than expecting Snape to wash his hair that day.

"In addition, I think you have all noticed." A slight smile appeared on Dumbledore's face. "Hogwarts has undergone a huge transformation as a whole, including many places that are different from before. Maybe You need to spend some time getting familiar with your school."

After that, the old principal waved his hand.

On the four long tables, a lot of food and drinks suddenly appeared on golden plates and tall wine glasses.

"Okay, the important things have been said, then - let the banquet begin!"

------

The next morning, Anthony was still sleeping.

I was dreaming that he was having a heart-to-heart talk with Tom.

Harry's urgent voice suddenly came to his ears, and then he watched helplessly as Riddle's handsome face transformed into a thick-browed, aloof little beauty.

Wearing a white skirt, long black hair, and a wreath of lilies on her head.

"Um - Harley?"

"Anthony, wake up! Anthony!"

"Mature black-haired beauty sister and red-haired sweet girl sister, Gryffindor twins?" Anthony, who was in a daze, gradually became clear.

Then the little beauty turned into two rough guys...

"What sister and sister?" Harry and Ron looked at each other in confusion.

"What are you doing, what are you doing!" Anthony, whose dream was shattered, was very angry when he got up.If this damn bad guy didn't have a good excuse, believe it or not, he would punch Ron directly in the face twice.

"Get up!" Harry continued to shout, and then ran towards the door with a happy face.

Ron followed closely behind.

Anthony, who didn't know what was going on, chased after him after briefly cleaning and changing his clothes.

Walk past, the sunny moving staircase...

Um?sunny?

Anthony first looked down at the warm sunlight shining on himself, and then looked up.

I don’t know when the ceiling of the tower turned into transparent glass. Of course, it may not be, but magical. In short, after the refraction of several mirrors, the entire staircase is filled with sunlight.

"It's amazing, isn't it!"

Behind him was the portrait of the Gryffindor entrance. The fat lady said cheerfully: "Those Muggles are still smart. After calculating for several days, they can let the sunlight shine in evenly without using magic."

"Did they tear down the ceiling?" Anthony turned around and asked.

Like the other portraits, the Fat Lady's frame has been replaced, but her color tone is not single gold, but gold and red.I guess this symbolizes Gryffindor House!

"There are no children. It's just a magic. I don't know the specifics. Maybe you should ask your professors. They seem to say that this is the echo of magic and mathematics!" At some point, there was an extra figure in the portrait of the Fat Lady. He got an armchair. She had always been standing before, but now she was sitting steadily talking to him.

To be honest, if the fat lady just looked at him with a smile and didn't speak.

Her purple dress and her reserved smile gave her the air of an aristocratic lady and a lady.

But just her mouth...

The deliberately distorted tone of his voice was really uncomfortable to listen to.

And if she spoke with a lowered voice today, she might not know how to learn how to lower her voice from that portrait tomorrow.

She also loved drinking, but she was always a bad drinker, and on several occasions she drank with her friend Violet (another portrait).

Drink until you disappear.

In the end, all the Gryffindor wizards searched for each portrait one by one. More than two hours later, they found her sleeping soundly on the straw in a stable with a landscape painting.

In short, the Fat Lady - never cares about her own image.

Today's appearance is indeed a rare serious look.

"Magic? Mathematics?" Just as Anthony was distressed, Harry's voice came from downstairs.

"Anthony, hurry up!"

"Oh! Here we come." After saying that, Anthony waved his right hand, bent down, stretched his left hand behind his back, stepped forward, and bowed to the fat lady, "Good morning, madam."

Immediately, he turned around and jumped several steps, rushing downstairs.

"This child." The fat lady smiled and looked at Anthony who was walking away. Her kind expression was full of the care and concern an old man would have for his younger generation.

She sighed softly, shook her head and said, "It's great to be young..."

As she spoke, something sounded like she suddenly lifted up her skirt, took out a bottle of red wine and a goblet from the space under her armchair, and slowly filled one-third of the glass.

Then he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

“But it’s still not as good as my 300-year-old wine!”

----

Following closely behind Harry, Anthony quickly caught up with them.

At this time they came to the front door.

Only then did he discover that the Gryffindor team...

Team members from the four major colleges, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin, gathered in front of the entrance hall.

Surrounded by the restored fountain, people chattered excitedly while pointing to the distance.

"I buy it!"

"My God!"

"Merlin's beard."

Exclaims of exclamation came from the mouths of the surrounding little wizards.

Anthony also raised his head curiously, his vision passing over the open space and grassland.Finally, we landed in front of a huge building in the distance...

"This-this really costs money!"

It was originally a Quidditch field, but now a towering building is rising from the ground, standing on the edge of the cliff.

The huge steel structure and glass-filled shell shine with a dazzling luster under the sun, showing its hard nature and unparalleled luxury. It is as bright as light!

The most amazing thing is that the glass exterior wall is like a huge screen, playing games that were once held on the stadium all the time.

"Look at that! That's Harry! Harry, look, this is the first time you caught the Golden Snitch in first grade." Ron screamed in the crowd, and on the huge 'big screen' The video was playing of Harry holding up the Golden Snitch, covered in mud but with a smile on his face.

There were cheering crowds in the surrounding stands, excited faces, and flying ribbons falling from the sky.Although there was no sound, it still brought everyone back to that thrilling moment.

"Gryffindor!!" Someone in the crowd shouted, which immediately attracted the cheers of many little lions. The crowds of people and high-pitched voices made them want to go deep into this new venue now, so that they can compete with each other. Other opponents duke it out.

And the huge picture did not stop. After a while, the wonderful moments of the other three teams appeared on the 'screen' on the outer wall.

In an instant, the enthusiasm of all the little wizards in Hogwarts was ignited.

Everyone was gearing up, the four teams looked at each other, and the captains had inexplicable smiles on their lips.

They all want to be the first house in the new venue to lift the Quidditch Cup.

----

After a long time, just when the little wizard was about to watch the 'screen' on the outer wall of the stadium as a movie, Professor McGonagall appeared in front of the door with a straight face.

"Maybe you forgot that there are classes today!" she said.

"If any of you wants to avenge your embarrassment, you can seize the practice time in a month."

Professor McGonagall said pointedly, then turned around and disappeared in front of the door.

"Hey! The professor is right!" Wood immediately heard the implication of Professor McGonagall's words. This is his last year at Hogwarts, whether it is the honor of the college or his future Quidditch career. trip.

Winning the Quidditch Cup is the most important thing for him this year.

"This time, Gryffindor has nothing to fear! We will definitely win." He shouted to encourage the surrounding players.

"Huh, that has nothing to do with you, Wood!" At this time, the captain of Ravenclaw interjected: "You just have a good seeker. If it weren't for Harry Potter, ten of you wouldn't be us." opponent."

Roger Davis' words successfully aroused the recognition of several other team captains.

Cedric, the new captain of the Hufflepuff team, also thinks this way.

Last year, they were on par with Gryffindor. Although they were worse than Ravenclaw, if it weren't for Harry Potter, they might not have lost the Gryffindor match.

If they can beat Gryffindor, they won't end up with No. 3. Maybe they can compete for first place.

"Ignore them Wood." Angelina gathered around, and she led the Gryffindors to quickly disappear into the crowd.

"They are just trying to stir up our mentality."

"I know!" Wood said coldly. The loss last year was entirely his responsibility. His tactics were seen through.If it weren't for Harry...

"But this year is different," he said.

"We will win." Wood seemed to encourage himself again, and his figure suddenly became a little lonely...

----

The first class of the new semester is the elective course.

After breakfast, after Anthony separated from Harry Ron, he went to the ancient rune classroom alone.

It must be said that very few students take this course.

Like Harry, most of the third years chose Magical Creatures for one subject and Divination or Muggle Care for the other.

These are the easiest courses.

Ancient Runes is undoubtedly the most difficult of the five elective courses.

And this awesome professor is also a newcomer...

Professor Bathsheda Bablin, she only officially became the professor of ancient runes this year. Before that, she had been helping the old professor.

Of course, this is not to say that the professor is a young man.

On the contrary, she was already in her 30s at this time.She served as a teaching assistant at Hogwarts for many years.

Anthony walked into the classroom holding a copy of "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Runes" and looked around in surprise.

Good guys, just a dozen or so people...

This course is truly the most neglected course in the entire Hogwarts.

"It seems that we only have these new faces." Professor Bathsheda Bablin did not feel embarrassed at all because there were only so many students.Or distress.
