Chapter 681: Outlook for a New Era

"Look over there."

Ron adjusted his Quidditch captain badge and then poked Harry's arm.

"What's wrong over there?"

Harry looked in the direction Ron was pointing, and gasped.

Taylor's figure was quite conspicuous in the center of the faculty table, right next to the four deans, with Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall next to him!

"He just sat there?"

The sixth grade life hasn’t even begun, and the house sorting hasn’t even taken place, but you’re just going to sit there?

Then who will lead the students to be divided into different colleges?
Also, what about those reporters holding dream beads next to them, and what about those faintly glowing mushrooms above the Hogwarts Great Hall?
"keep quiet."

Harry heard a familiar voice, and then Taylor, who had just been watching, walked over quickly and lowered his voice, "Prefects, please pay attention and maintain order. Although the Sorting House will not broadcast live according to convention, the headmaster's speech later will be remembered in dreams."

"Yes, I will pay attention to that."

Harry answered in a low voice, and saw Taylor go around to the other prefects and give them careful instructions.

He noticed that Taylor was not wearing the insignia that symbolized the president of the male student union.

"That's strange. Weren't we supposed to leave the dream as a souvenir? Why is there a piece missing from the dress?"

Harry whispered to Ron beside him about his discovery - one of the advantages of being the Quidditch captain is that he can stand in the front.

"He doesn't care about medals. It's not like you haven't seen his medal armor before."

Ron looked nonchalant.

"That's true. There are a bunch of badges, and Sirius doesn't have any of them."

Harry whispered as he watched Taylor skillfully mobilize the students, pulling out the first-year kids, and handing them over to Professor McGonagall for sorting - it was the same intimidation as always, and those lower-grade students were scared as quails.

Neither the song of the Sorting Hat nor the Sorting Ceremony seemed special. Even when it came to meal time, there was nothing special. It was still the same welcome dishes, and everyone was still full.

"So, what exactly are these reporters here for?"

Harry swallowed the last bite of pudding, watched the food on the plate disappear completely, and quietly waited for the so-called memorable speech of the headmaster.

"Well, everyone has eaten and drunk enough."

Dumbledore stood up, and Harry habitually looked over there at Taylor - he was clapping slightly next to Professor Flitwick, and seemed to be getting along well with the professors.

But Harry's eyes were soon attracted by Dumbledore's expression.

That was not the amiable and slightly crazy Dumbledore of the past, but a spirited one who reminded him of the Dumbledore who shone like a star in a legendary story.

As soon as Dumbledore opened his mouth, he completely believed the stories in the legend - yes, this is how Dumbledore should be!

"Although in theory I should tell you some old stories, such as the transformation of the school this year, some of Mr. Filch's new rules and our initial success with the Dream Mushroom, but I want to talk about something else today."

“About the future, or rather, our new campus and gathering place.”

Dumbledore's wand flicked in the air.

Under the stunned eyes of the students, the sky of the entire auditorium turned dark, and all the lights were absorbed with a slight click. Under Dumbledore's wand, the silver solar system map floated easily at the top of the auditorium 1, with incredible clarity.

"Although some people may think that the difference between the two is too great, there is no difference. I will assume that you have all studied first-year astronomy well, so there is probably no need to mention the names of these galaxies."

There was a low laugh from the Gryffindor table.

But soon people's attention was attracted by the Earth-Moon system which was magnified again and again.

"Well, we all know what the moon and the earth are. It's a beautiful combination. I have to admit that in the past period of time, we have been so busy looking at the ground under our feet that we forgot to look up at the beautiful starry sky."

'My God, what is Dumbledore trying to say?'

Ron spoke to Harry in a very low voice, but without waiting for a response, he greedily stared at the celestial bodies above.

"Yes, I think many of you have probably guessed what I am going to say, but I am honored to tell you that, yes, it is like this. In the recent exploration plan, our four schools' joint exploration spacecraft landed on the moon and found suitable land on it."

The whole auditorium could be heard breathing in air.

"It roughly means that we plan to build a Hogwarts branch there, and also build a few wizard gathering places."

There was some relief in Dumbledore's voice.

"It's not an easy task. To be honest, we can't even solve the round-trip problem ourselves, but these problems will be solved bit by bit - maybe by this time next year, we can play Quidditch on the moon."

"Sorry, Professor."

A voice came from the Gryffindor table, "But what's wrong with Hogwarts? Why should we build a branch on the moon?"

"In order to explore the starry sky, for a fascinating adventure in the starry sky, we can't always hide in a safe place."

Dumbledore's answer did not address the fundamental issue, but even Andrew, who knew the answer, could accept it.

There was a lot of excitement coming from the Gryffindor side, and from the rest of the table as well.

Dumbledore waited until the excitement of the crowd had died down before continuing to talk about what he had seen during the inspection and what the professor was researching in the planning of the branch campus.
...

"In addition, there is another matter we are discussing——"

Dumbledore's voice stretched out a lot. "If we are in the lunar settlement, should we cancel the restrictions on spellcasting during holidays?"

"The relevant matters are still under negotiation, and new spacecraft and travel methods are also being explored. After the negotiation is over, Professor Taylor will temporarily take over the position of interim vice principal and lead the professors and seventh-grade advanced students to the lunar exploration base to explore and build a branch campus. Some sixth-grade students with extremely high grades will be allowed to participate in the selection."

???

Andrew was stunned as he listened to Dumbledore's explanation one by one.

Wait, who's leading the team?

Are you kidding?

When did a legend come to light?

What's the difference between this and hanging him on the moon? Take a team of professors and students to explore and research, or hang him in the position of temporary vice president, there is no way to run away!

That long list of things adds up to just one sentence.

Taylor, get up there!
