Jon could finally say goodbye to the mild musty and straw smell of the carriage.

He got out of the car with the Greenglass sisters.

The gloomy Draco Malfoy was about to follow at first, but was stopped by his two close friends: Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle.

During their conversation, Jon hears words such as "Potter," "Dementor," "Coma," etc., before the Slytherin trio hurries away.

Jon and the others joined the crowd walking up the stairs, through the huge oak door, and into the Hogwarts anteroom.

The foyer was brightly lit, and an ornate marble staircase led upstairs.

The door to the right of the marble staircase was opened, and Professor Minerva McGonagall, wearing an emerald green plaid skirt, strode out.

Professor McGonagall's expression was always serious, with his hair in a tight bun and square glasses in his sharp eyes.

"Miss Greenglass, come here!" She glanced at Astoria, then waved at her: "Mr. Hart, come here too."

Jon and Astoria hurried over.

"Miss Greenglass, Professor Snape gave me advance notice that you were in trouble on the train?"

"Yes." Astoria nodded: "A Dementor, Professor McGonagall..."

"Just in case, Mr. Hart, take her to the school hospital!" Professor McGonagall reminded.

"Okay, Professor!"

...

The two left the crowd and came to the school hospital not far from the front hall.

After knocking on the door of the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey, the head nurse, hurried over.

"Is it a Dementor again?" she asked irritably.

"Yes, ma'am!" whispered Astoria.

"Let the dangerous creatures like dementors be stationed around the school, I don't know who the teacher thought of the ghost idea..."

"Last year it was a basilisk, this year it was a dementor... I wonder if there will be a few fire dragons next year!" Madam Pomfrey complained feebly, "Hogwarts is a school, not a shelter for dangerous magical animals. !"

"Come with me, dear..." But when she faced Astoria, her tone instantly softened.

"Professor Snape has given her an emerald green potion..." Jon reminded quickly.

"It's a potion of joy, Professor Snape is very good at it!" Pomfrey couldn't help showing a look of approval when he mentioned Snape: "Then you just need to eat some chocolate, yes, and also Need bed rest."

Several students were already lying on the bed of the school hospital, and the most serious one was still in a coma. Jon also saw Ginny Weasley lying on a hospital bed near the back, with Neville and Luna accompanying her.

After saying hello to them, Jon saw Madam Pomfrey hurried over, and she threw a bar of chocolate to Jon.

There was a loud alarm clock sounding from the counter, and Madam Pomfrey handed two emerald-green bottles of joy potions to Luna and a girl next to the unconscious student as quickly as possible.

"I have to excuse me." She said quickly, "Professor McGonagall asked me to come over there... If you have any questions, press the alarm clock over there, and I will be right back."

Madam Pomfrey left in a hurry, and she returned ten minutes later.

Astoria has finished eating the chocolate.

After carefully examining Astoria, she said with some anxiety: "It should be fine in general!"

"So can we go back to the hall for the opening banquet?" Jon asked quickly.

"Of course...but if you run into trouble, you have to come back to me in time." Madam Pomfrey nodded.

The two left the school hospital and returned to the front hall.

"Sorry for causing you trouble!" Astoria whispered.

"It's okay." Jon smiled and shook his head.

...

Back in the auditorium, it has become a sea of ​​jubilation.

Professor Flitwick is holding a pointed wizard hat and is screaming the names of young wizards... The sorting ceremony seems to be coming to an end.

Jon and Astoria hurriedly returned to their respective college tables, and Jon sat between Steven Lucas and Susan Burns.

"Romilda Vane!" cried Professor Flitwick in his sharp voice.

A dark-haired, timid-looking girl hurried over.

"Gryffindor!" cried the Sorting Hat almost as soon as it touched her head.

The last two freshmen, Natalie Young and Luke Yvette, were assigned to Ravenclaw and Slytherin respectively.

Professor Flitwick walked out of the auditorium with the sorting hat and the three-legged stool.

Jon missed most of the sorting ceremonies.

Then, Jon saw Harry Potter and Hermione Granger running back from outside the auditorium on the Gryffindor table... Many people looked at them and pointed.

"Welcome!" Professor Dumbledore stood up, glanced around, and said, "Welcome to your new school year at Hogwarts! But before the semester starts, I have a few words to say..."

The auditorium, which was a little noisy just now, became quiet in an instant.

"You've already gone through a search on the train before. As you all know, our school is currently hosting a number of dementors from Azkaban, who are here to carry out some Ministry of Magic business."

In Professor Dumbledore's seemingly calm voice, Jon could hear a hint of anger... Obviously, he hated creatures like Dementors.

"Dementors will be stationed at all entrances and exits of the school!" Professor Dumbledore continued: "So during their stay, no one is allowed to leave the school, and don't try to fool the Azkaban guards with your little tricks... …”

"Dementors don't know what a request or excuse is by nature, and they won't be deceived by any tricks or disguise... Neither can an invisibility cloak!" Professor Dumbledore added at the end.

There was silence in the entire auditorium. In fact, no one likes dementors... Anyone who encounters dementors will be affected more or less by them.

Then, as expected, Professor Dumbledore introduced two new teachers at Hogwarts: the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor was Remus Lupin; and the retirement of Professor Kettleburn , the new professor of protection of magical creatures is held by Rubeus Hagrid.

Professor Dumbledore's speech is over...

Finally, the golden plates and goblets in front of them were suddenly filled with food and drink, and the auditorium reverberated with laughter and the clash of knives and forks.

Thanks to the book friends Valkyrie Immortal and the book is good for the reward!
