The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Not only do I not dare to imagine what I will become, but I am also worried about the huge uproar this will cause.

Unfortunately, when Dolly wanted to know what was going on, Miss Door remained silent.

Dolly could only think that perhaps she could use reverse makeup to artificially create some flaws in the future.

But living like this is too tiring.

Just before the Sorting Ceremony ended, Harry and the others finally returned.

They went directly to see Lady Pomfrey by carriage, and the same thing was done to the others who were attacked by the Dementors.

However, despite fainting, Harry did not choose to be hospitalized, but instead returned to the Great Hall.

People around Harry began to show concern for his condition, and no one laughed at him.

This relieved Harry, who had thought he would be questioned about his lack of willpower.

Harry clearly underestimated the power of Dementors, which are often used in the wizarding world to frighten children.

When everyone learned that Harry had fainted after being attacked by Dementors, the only ones who were still gloating were Harry's enemies.

For example, Malfoy from Slytherin.

Although Malfoy looked gloating, his eyes were fixed on Dolly.

He was prepared to pretend nothing had happened the moment Dolly looked at him.

Unfortunately, Malfoy was overthinking things.

Throughout the entire Sorting Ceremony, Dolly didn't even glance in his direction.

Dolly doesn't even care much about Malfoy's father, Lucius, so why would she care about Malfoy?

Finally, the sorting ceremony came to an end.

Dumbledore stood up and began his speech.

The young wizards also quieted down quickly, a rare occurrence, and even Ron's red-haired twin brother didn't say a word this time.

The story of the Dementors has spread, and everyone wants to know why.

Seeing this, Dumbledore could only abandon his prepared explanation and begin to explain the matter.

Welcome back to Hogwarts!

"I have a few things to tell you all, one of which is very important, so I think it's best to make it clear before you get too caught up in your delicious meal and your brains get foggy..."

Dumbledore cleared his throat and continued, "We have some Dementors from Azkaban at our school. They are here on official business from the Ministry of Magic, as you all probably already know, because they searched the Hogwarts Express."

Although Dumbledore kept his tone calm, it was clear that he deeply loathed the Dementors.

This confirms Dolly's earlier speculation.

Dumbledore didn't want the Ministry of Magic to do this, so the Ministry did it anyway.

Outside of Hogwarts, Dumbledore's influence and power declined rapidly; he couldn't even help with the train that was not far from Hogwarts at that time.

Perhaps in this sense, this was also a demonstration by the Ministry of Magic?

“They are stationed at every entrance to the school,”

Dumbledore continued, "I must make it clear that no one is allowed to leave the school without permission while they are here."

"No tricks, schemes, or disguises can fool a Dementor—not even the Invisibility Cloak."

Harry felt a headache coming on; he thought the words were spoken to him alone.

However, he quickly realized that the invisibility cloak was actually a fairly common magical item, and Harry's was special because it could make him permanently invisible and would not wear out.

"Dementors do not understand explanations or pleas for mercy, so I remind everyone here not to give them a reason to harm you."

“I hope the prefect and our newly elected student council presidents will ensure that no student gets into a conflict with a Dementor.”

Percy Weasley sat a few seats away from Harry, puffing out his chest and looking around smugly.

It was only then that Dolly remembered that Percy was a prefect this year.

This is a tremendous honor for him and for the entire Weasley family.

Percy becoming a prefect meant he would be given priority by the Ministry of Magic after graduation, and his future would be very promising.

Indeed, this was the case. Although Percy followed the wrong person in the original story, he still quickly rose to a high position.

If Hermione hadn't come from behind to take the position, Percy might have even been able to challenge for the post of Minister of Magic.

It is easy to see that the Weasleys were poor and destitute simply because they had too many children.

However, in terms of the future achievements of these children, most wizarding families could not even come close.

Once Dumbledore had confirmed that everyone understood his words, he smiled and said, "Let's change the subject."

“I am delighted to welcome our two new teachers to our team this semester.”

"First, Professor Lupin readily agreed to fill the vacancy in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

A few cold, scattered claps echoed in the Great Hall. Only the students who had shared a compartment with Professor Lupin on the train clapped more enthusiastically, Harry being one of them.

While the other teachers were all wearing their best clothes, Professor Lupin looked even more shabby sitting next to them.

Upon hearing this, Dolly turned to look at Snape.

She was curious about what Snape's expression was like now.

Sure enough, even Snape broke down.

Dolly saw Snape's sallow, thin face twitching. She was surprised, angry, but more than that, she felt anger and hatred.

For Snape, there was another person he hated just as much as Harry.

Let a werewolf be the teacher?

What was Dumbledore thinking?

Dolly can answer that question.

Aside from Lupin, what respectable person would take on the course of Defense Against the Dark Arts?

We can't expect Dumbledore to teach this course himself.

If his aging body were to collapse again, it would solidify Voldemort's reputation as a cursed magic master.

"As for our second new teacher..."

After the sparse applause that Dumbledore and the others had given to Professor Lupin subsided, he continued, "I regret to inform you that our Professor Kettleburn, our teacher of the Conservation of Magical Creatures class, retired at the end of last semester in order to have more time to enjoy his old arms and legs."

"However, I am pleased to announce that the person who will be filling his position is none other than Rubeus Hagrid, who has agreed to take on this teaching position in addition to his duties as a gamekeeper."

Now no one applauded, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Dolly rolled her eyes; it still happened.

The next second, enthusiastic applause erupted at the Gryffindor dining table.

The remaining colleges followed suit, and Dolly was no exception.

But Dolly knew that the Gryffindor students would soon realize they were celebrating too soon.

Even if they have feelings for Hagrid, Hagrid's Magical Creatures Protection class doesn't care which house you belong to when he hurts you.

The simplest thing is that all young wizards have a new magical creature protection textbook this year, "The Monster Book of Monsters".

This book is aggressive; if it is not opened in the proper way, it will tear apart everything around it, including wizards.

Hagrid chose it not for its practicality or any deeper meaning, but simply because it was fun.

Clearly, Hagrid's perception of danger differed from that of wizards, and he also lacked a clear understanding of how to teach the subject of magical creature protection or how to be a teacher.

After Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts, he guarded the Forbidden Forest alone, which essentially cut off any possibility of interacting with more people.

Hagrid, of course, was also unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

Hagrid's face flushed red, his eyes lowered as he looked at his large hands, a big smile hidden behind his tangled, unruly black beard.

Today is a good day for Hagrid; it's the day he gets back on track in his life.

Dolly didn't plan to talk to Hagrid about how to attend classes today; it wouldn't be too late to discuss it after Hagrid caused trouble.

238

Chapter 238 Let's just have one bed.

"Alright, that's all the important stuff."

"Let's have a feast!" Dumbledore said.

As Dumbledore announced the end of his speech, the golden plates and goblets in front of them were suddenly filled with food and drink.

Many people had a great appetite, including Hermione and Cho Chang.

After experiencing the attack of the Dementors, it's hard not to feel the urge to have a hearty meal when you see these warm and comforting foods.

The Great Hall was unusually lively, as many Gryffindor students went directly to Hagrid to celebrate.

Hagrid accepted all the invitations; as a professor, he was entitled to drink at such a banquet.

However, Hagrid remained restrained; although his face was flushed, he was not drunk.

After everyone had eaten the pumpkin pie, Dumbledore announced the end of the banquet.

The young wizards are not allowed to chat here today; everyone needs to go back to their dorms to sleep.

Dolly then returned to her long-missed dormitory with Hermione and Cho Chang.

The generator was turned on, and Dolly and Hermione seemed to be transported back to the modern world in an instant.

Hermione hummed a song, clearly in a good mood, and said, "I'm going to take a shower. Don't bother me today."

"Or rather, from today onwards you can't bother me, because I'm going to be studying diligently for a while."

Dolly gave a lazy hum, which counted as a reply.

In fact, she was thinking about what had happened today, not just the Dementors, but also Cho Chang's reactions.

Qiu Zhang seemed to be as close to her as ever, without making any special moves.

It seems that everything that happened that night really was a dream.
