Harry Potter and the Old Ones Chapter 282

The heavy rain was still beating heavily against the high, dark windows.

Another blast of thunder made the glass windows rattle, and a flash of lightning flashed across the hazy ceiling, illuminating the golden plate. .

Originally, Hermione wasn't going to eat—

But she felt that Tiera's scolding was very cool, and she was very hungry, so she reluctantly ate a few more desserts.

"Okay!" Dumbledore looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Now we have all eaten and drank enough..."

"Bah!" said Hermione.

"...I must ask everyone's attention again, and I have a few announcements to make."

"Mr. Filch, the gatekeeper, wants me to tell you that this year, there are several more items that are prohibited from being used in the castle, including the 'Amitabha Gatling', a staff that increases the user's strength and casts a flashing spell. , a 'Hammer of Thor'... The entire list has been added to about four hundred and forty-three items, which can be seen in Mr. Filch's office, and those who are interested can check it out."

Dumbledore glanced at Tiera, then the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

He continued: "As before, I want to remind everyone that the forbidden forest on the other side of the venue is not allowed to enter by students, and the Hogsmeade village, all students under the third grade are not allowed to visit."

"I also regret to inform you that there will be no House Cup Quidditch this year."

"What?" Harry gasped in surprise. He turned to look at his Quidditch teammates Fred and George. They all stared at Dumbledore silently, mouths wide open, as if speechless in surprise. Dumbledore continued: "This is because a large event will start in October and will continue throughout the school year, taking up a lot of the teachers' time and energy, but I'm sure you'll all have a lot of fun with it. I'm very Happy to announce that this year at Hogwarts—"

Just then, there was a deafening roar of thunder, and the auditorium door slammed open.

A man stood in the doorway, leaning on a long cane and wrapped in a black travel cloak. sacrifice such as dingdingxiaoshuo.com sacrifice such as

Everyone in the auditorium turned to look at the stranger, when suddenly a forked lightning flashed across the ceiling, and Hermione gasped.

The lightning made the man's face so vivid that Harry had never seen a face like this—

His face seemed to have been carved out of a piece of rotten wood, and the sculptor had only a vague idea of what a human face should look like, and was not very good at using a carving knife. Every inch of the skin on that face seemed to be scarred, the mouth was like a wide, askew, and the place where the nose should have been bulged was missing. And the most terrifying thing about this man is his eyes.

One of his eyes was small, dark and sparkling. The other eye was large, round like a coin, and a vivid bright blue.

The blue eye kept moving without blinking, turning up and down, left and right, completely irrelevant to the normal eye—later, the blue eye rolled over and got into the man's head, All you can see is a big white eyeball.

The stranger approached Dumbledore. He held out a hand, which was as scarred as his face.

Dumbledore shook his hand and whispered something that Harry didn't hear. He seemed to be asking the stranger something, and the stranger shook his head without a smile and replied in a low voice.

Dumbledore nodded and motioned for the man to take an empty seat to his right.

The stranger sat down, shook his head, shook his long gray hair away from his face, then pulled a plate of sausages and held it up to his mutilated nose for a sniff.

He took a knife out of his pocket, poked it through the end of a sausage, and ate it. His normal eye was staring at the sausage, but the blue eye was still rolling in and out of the socket, looking at the auditorium and the class--

Tierra noticed that Moody's eye stayed on Harry and herself for a moment, then turned away.

"Allow me to introduce our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher." Dumbledore broke the silence with a cheerful voice, "Professor Moody."

Normally, when a new teacher meets everyone, everyone applauds, but now, apart from Dumbledore and Hagrid, no teacher or student applauds.

Dumbledore and Hagrid clapped a few times, and found that the applause echoed in the silent auditorium seemed lonely, so they had to put down their hands a little bored.

The others seemed to be stunned by Moody's odd appearance, and kept their eyes on him.

Dumbledore cleared his throat.

"As I said just now." He looked at the many students in front of him with a smile and said - Si minus bxwx. C*o Si

But the students still stared at Mad-Eye Moody.

"Over the next few months, we will be honored to host a very exciting event that has not been held in over a century. I am delighted to inform you that the Triwizard Tournament will be held this year at Hogwarts."

"You're kidding!" exclaimed Fred and George Weasley.

The tense atmosphere that had enveloped the auditorium since Moody entered the door was suddenly broken~www.mtlnovel.com~ Almost everyone cheered, and persuaded Bridor to chuckle in admiration.

"I'm not joking, Mr. Weasley," said Dumbledore, "but since you're joking, I heard a very funny joke about a troll, a **** and a leprechaun, They all went into the same tavern..."

Professor McGonagall cleared his throat loudly, and then Tiera noticed that Professor McGonagall seemed to have cocked his leg and kicked Dumbledore heavily under the table.

"Oh, yes, it's probably inappropriate to say that now... not quite..." Dumbledore said. "Where did I just say? Ah, yes, the Triwizard Tournament... I'm sure the big one among you Some of you have already learned what the Triwizard Tournament is from your own parents, brothers, or the parents and brothers of your friends, and if some of you still don't know what this tournament is about..."

Dumbledore smiled slyly, "Let's go read a book then."

"Of course, I know you're all eager to win the Triwizard trophy for Hogwarts, but for safety's sake... the Ministry of Magic believes that there should be an age limit for this year's contenders." Dumbledore was a little disappointed. "We will only allow students over the age of seventeen to enroll."

"It's not fair!" George and Fred shouted in unison, standing up at the same time, waving their hands in an attempt to pick up the rhythm, but obviously—

The twins are still too young. Mi He Mi

It was easily suppressed by Dumbledore and drove them to sleep immediately.
