Chapter 1123: Welcome Party!!
Fortunately.
The buns tasted very good. There were all kinds of flavors.
But when he ate the durian flavor, he began to suspect that the house-elves had gone crazy.
Anyway, no matter what.
Darren's stomach was full.
Especially when the dessert came out, he stuffed his stomach full.
By the time he was full and patting his belly, he started to feel sleepy. He began to miss his big bed.
Dumbledore seemed to have noticed his state. He stood up and clapped his hands.
The food on the table disappeared.
Then he said briskly: "I'll keep it short: the Forbidden Forest is off-limits, and Mr. Filch forbids the use of magic in the corridors.
This year, there are two changes to our teaching staff.
Two new professors have arrived: one is Professor Grubbly-Plank, who will replace Hagrid to teach you Care of Magical Creatures.
The second is Professor Umbridge, who will teach you Defense Against the Dark Arts. Also, Quidditch tryouts will be on..."
Dumbledore stopped.
Because he heard the sound of Umbridge clearing her throat. He sat down.
He said in a welcoming voice: "Oh, it seems our Professor Umbridge is going to give a speech; let's welcome her!"
Darren discovered.
The entire Hogwarts was stunned by this move from Umbridge.
Because this was the first time someone had deliberately interrupted Dumbledore in a public place.
Professor Sprout frowned. Professor McGonagall almost stood up.
Even Snape looked at Umbridge in surprise.
Probably to see what this woman, who was courting death, actually wanted to do. Umbridge acted as if she didn't see the astonishment at Hogwarts.
She said in a high-pitched, little-girl voice: "I am very happy that Dumbledore would welcome me this way, and I am also very happy for the welcome from all the students at Hogwarts."
On this good day of the start of school, I hope you all can welcome our future life together with full spirits and enthusiastic faces.
I hope to be friends with you, and have a wonderful time with you... Umbridge spoke fluently.
Darren suspected that she had read this script eight hundred times.
He felt as if he had returned to his green youth before transmigrating, listening to the dean of students up there saying they wanted to be friends with them.
"... The Ministry of Magic believes that in school life, we should have order, organization, and a learning environment full of relaxation..."
"... At the same time, some old habits will be discarded, and new habits will be..."
Started anew.
Darren felt like he was going to fall asleep.
And he discovered that not a single person in the Great Hall was listening to Umbridge's report. Even Malfoy was playing Wizard's Chess with Crabbe.
Finally, he didn't know how much time had passed. Umbridge sat down.
The students in the Great Hall hadn't reacted. They were still playing their own games.
Until Dumbledore's voice rang out again.
Only then did everyone realize that the pink toad's voice had disappeared.
"Then, thank you, Professor Umbridge, for your speech; the Quidditch tryouts will be on..."
Dumbledore finished the last sentence in a few words. They sang the Hogwarts school song again.
Only then were they allowed to return to their houses.
Darren rubbed his eyes and followed behind Cassandra, with a bunch of first-year students beside him.
Cassandra led them toward the common room. They looked at Darren with confusion and unease.
Probably unable to understand why someone as big as him was still hanging around with them, the new students?
In fact, Darren only realized it when he returned to the common room.
Malfoy led the fifth-year students, and Cassandra led the first-year students.
And he, all the way, followed around these children, swaying, looking sleepy-eyed.
Slytherin Common Room.
Snape was standing in the center holding his wand. He watched everyone enter with a blank expression. The common room was extremely quiet.
Even the first-year students didn't dare to make a sound. Darren covered his mouth and yawned.
Which scared the new student next to him. ===== CHAPTER 1125 =====
