Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 242 The curse came true ahead of time!

"Ted!"

"This way Ted!"

"Thanks to you, Ted!"

"And Neville and Jerry and the others. If they hadn't stopped the Dementor, I can't imagine..."

“Well done!”

"So cool Ted, that move of yours with fire coming out of your feet!"

As soon as Ted and his friends entered the auditorium, many young wizards greeted them excitedly.

When Ted broke out of the window and fought the two Dementors, many young wizards saw it from the windows.

That kind of intense and exciting battle can only be seen in "Magic Shadow"!

Isn’t this the magical battle in my heart?

This is much more exciting than a wizard duel. This is what we call a magic battle!
And Neville Jerry and Ron used an anti-evil circle to force the Dementors to retreat continuously, which was also seen by many young wizards.

Although I was so scared that my whole body was stiff at the time, I later thought that it was all thanks to Neville and his friends, otherwise I might have had to go to St. Mungo's.

This group of people, who were already the focus of attention, are now being treated like heroes.

The Weasley twins jumped out from nowhere, "Hail for our hero~"

Suddenly he took out a strange firecracker and pulled it, "Pah~"

Two miniature firework dragons chased each other in the auditorium and flew around the roof.

Many little wizards looked up with smiles on their faces.

This is good. The frightened little wizards now need the emotion of happiness to dilute their fear.

It has to be said that the existence of the Weasley twins is really indispensable.

……

Because there were so many things that needed to be dealt with, just appeasing a large number of parents and sending them into the fireplace to go back took up too much of Professor McGonagall's time.

The dinner was already late and the professors hadn't arrived yet.

Hagrid arrived first.

Hagrid is now completely different!
It cannot be said that the appearance has changed, but the image has changed drastically!

What was Hagrid like in the past?
Two meters and five meters tall, twice as wide as a normal person, he wears a moleskin coat in spring, autumn and winter - oh, later he changed it to a bear mink coat given by Ted~
The beard is as fluffy, thick and messy as his hair. If you ignore the facial features, you can't even tell which end is the top of the head and which end is the chin!
But now?

He has a shiny slicked-back hair, a neatly trimmed short beard, a loose but fitted shirt with gilded animal head buttons, overalls, and an imposing gold-rimmed, taotie-patterned wizard robe as his jacket. He looks like an enlarged version of the gangster godfather Ma Dong-seok!
(Can someone help me make an AI face-changing app to replace Ma Dong-seok's face with Hagrid's, and let's see the effect)

So when he pushed open the door and came in, the little wizard nearby was so scared that he couldn't recognize who he was for a long time!
"Oh my God!" The biscuit in Ron's mouth fell - he was a little hungry and decided to eat something first.

"Hagrid! It's Hagrid!" Neville also exclaimed in surprise.

His friends never knew that he could open his eyes so wide!
Harry was also startled. For a moment, he felt a little chest tightness and shortness of breath and was unable to speak.

After her initial surprise, Hermione immediately looked at Ted - her intuition told her that Ted must know what was going on!

"Hey! Ted! Neville! Harry! Ron! Hermione! Jerry! Haha, I missed you so much!" Hagrid laughed and walked over quickly with his arms open.

The little wizard quickly shrank to the side along the way, fearing that he would be scratched by the gangster boss.

Everyone hugged Hagrid.

"Hagrid, you...that thing..." Neville was a little at a loss for words. He stared blankly at Hagrid's hairstyle.

"He means, you look great. Hagrid, stunning!" Hermione added.

"That's right!" Ron and Jerry pecked at the rice like a chicken and nodded repeatedly.

Hagrid scratched his slicked-back hair and gave a shy smile that was very inconsistent with his image. "It was Ted's idea..."

The friends, as well as the little wizards who had been watching nearby and heard this, all stared at Ted - what kind of magic is this? !

This story begins a week ago.

Ted learned from a letter to Professor McGonagall that Hagrid would become a professor this year - Professor Kettleburn, professor of Care of Magical Creatures, had retired.

He is older than Dumbledore, very old, and has few parts left on him.

When he heard that the monkey he raised was missing, he became anxious and angry, and finally decided to retire - and go to the Fire Dragon Reserve to raise dragons part-time!
Professor Kettleburn recommended Hagrid as the new head of the Care of Magical Creatures class. Although Hagrid was frightened, he was also very happy.

I originally wanted to not tell Ted and the others yet and give them a surprise.

But Ted learned about this from Professor McGonagall and decided to help his friend revamp his image.

Ted: "You must first liberate your mind before you can liberate your productivity!"

Hagrid: "Huh?"

Ted: "I mean, you need to have authority to control those restless little wizards in class. You have to be able to hold the situation!"

Hagrid: "Really? But I don't want to..." Ted: "Trust me, I'm well-read and I won't lie to you."

Hagrid: "Well, what should I do then?"

Ted: "I'll take you to find Hu Delu to get you a fashionable ball head!"

So Ted personally designed a new look for Hagrid.

You know what, this image is quite successful!

After the young wizards heard that Hagrid was going to become the professor of Care of Magical Creatures this year, and then looked at Hagrid's current image, they suddenly felt uncertain.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that more than half of the young wizards would not think Hagrid is capable of becoming a professor.

But now - if it's the Hagrid of today, maybe it's really possible!
You see, Buddha relies on gold ornaments, and people rely on clothes.

Ron suddenly thought of something and shouted, "I knew it. Who else would use a biting book as a teaching material? It bit me so many times that my socks were torn!"

He was talking about the textbook for the Care of Magical Creatures class that Hagrid had requested to be purchased - The Monster Book of Monsters.

This book has a mouth full of fangs and is extremely ferocious. It bites whatever it catches.

It's thrilling enough when I buy books from a bookstore.

The bookstore clerk put his hand, wearing a dragon-skin glove, into the book box and was bitten by three or four monster books. It was a very terrifying scene.

Ron originally wanted to take advantage of the few days before school started to work hard. After all, his grades were pretty good last year. Maybe I am just a good student?!
As a result, as soon as the book was untied, it immediately chased Ron and bit him, all the way from the second floor to the attic, biting all the Weasley family's zombies and making them cry out.

It also completely crushed Ron's learning potential.
Jerry asked, "You are so brave! I bought the book and never touched it. It bit your socks, and then what? How did you subdue it?"

Ron shrugged. "Then it passed out."

Neville wondered, "Why? Monster books are afraid of socks?!"

Jerry knew Ron well. "Is there any need to ask? He must have fainted from the smoke."

Neville nodded: Yes, with the power of Ron's socks, even a dragon would faint if bitten by it.

……

Because the professor and the president had not arrived, the banquet could not begin.

So Hagrid sat with Ted and the others and chatted for a while. Actually, he was a little scared - he had never seen so many little wizards look at him like that before.

What's more, he was going to be a professor, which he had never dared to think about before, so he was a little scared!

He needs his friends to give him courage.

"By the way, you know what?" Hagrid said.

"Know what? If you don't tell us, how can we know whether we know what you are talking about?" Harry fiddled with the two-way mirror made by Ted. When this thing is not in use, she can use it as a small mirror to look at herself.

She wanted to video chat with Sirius sometime so that he wouldn't worry.

Hagrid was so confused by Harry's trick that he didn't know whether he knew it or not.

However, he didn't bother with this matter, but raised his hand to his mouth, and said in a sneaky "whisper": "You know what? The new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is temporarily unable to come."

"Who?" Ron called out. "Who can't come?"

Hagrid: "Quentin Trimble is Dumbledore's new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

"Quentin Trimble? This name sounds familiar!" Hermione frowned and thought.

Ted said, "The author of the first grade textbook."

Hermione raised her eyebrows: "Ah, yes, Quentin Trimble, author of Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense! Is he our new professor?"

She thought that the book "Dark Powers: A Guide to Self-Defense" was very well written, with profound and easy-to-understand knowledge, which showed the author's solid foundation - provided that he was not Lockhart.

Hagrid shrugged. "Probably not."

"What do you mean?"

"Quentin Trimble has had an accident. It may take a few days, or many, many days, for him to come."

"What on earth is going on?"

Hagrid looked around, and the dog was sneaky. "It's actually similar to what you experienced today."

"Those Dementors were originally led by the Aurors to chase the dark wizards from another world, but they left the team and attacked you. And Quentin Trimble ran into that dark wizard."

"He was trying to help the Aurors, but ended up getting hit by a spell from a dark wizard... and ended up living in St. Mungo's."

Ron stuffed a biscuit in his mouth and asked vaguely, "Is it heavy?"

Hagrid spread his hands. "Who would be hospitalized if it wasn't serious? Maybe... Well, no Defense Against the Dark Arts professor has ever been so unlucky on the first day of school."

Hermione and Harry both looked at Ted. They remembered that Ted said that this position was cursed!

This curse is too powerful, isn't it?
Didn’t make it through your first day in office?

Ted: This new professor is not very lucky!
