Chapter 374 ask for advice
Hogwarts students are witnessing a strange branch ceremony.
"I know this year is unusual, I mean... we canceled Quidditch and welcoming a professor who chanted evil curses to us, but... it's so weird." Simo murmured.
He looked at the adult Ifamoni students, lined up and sat on small stools one by one, ready to be identified by the dirty branch hat.
His friend Dean Thomas shrugged and said, "There are only more strange things, and there are three schools that have not come!"
"It makes sense." Simo nodded in agreement.
At the top of the auditorium, Felix spoke gently, attracting a curious look. "You just need to walk over, put on your hat, and wait quietly for a while... But I suggest you, it's better to report your own name so that others can know you."
Byers, who was standing in front of the team, looked at him and asked, "Mr. Happ, can I call you a professor?"
"Of course," Felix said: "Welcome to choose my class."
Byers walked to the small stool, and when he saw the sewing hat, he was stunned and looked back at Felix in disbelief. Felix nodded at him: Yes, it's what you think.
Byers whispered: "Bayers Bach, from Ifamoni, Thunderbird Academy." Then he closed his eyes with his fate, curled himself on a small stool, and put on a branch hat.
"Look!" said an Ifamoni girl pointing to the branch hat.
The gray hat suddenly cracked a gap from the bottom, and at the same time, a voice rang in Byers' mind.
"Have you ever seen such a branch ceremony, little guy?"
Byers opened his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Are you a hat ghost?"
"...You just think so. How do you come from the branch office? Oh, so that's it... standing in front of four statues, waiting to be selected... Hogwarts is not so troublesome, I can do it alone..."
"Can you see my memory?" Byers was shocked.
"It's just what you are thinking now, don't interrupt! Are you a student at Thunderbird Academy? You are kind-hearted, but you also like to take risks... Hufflepuff and Gryffindor are both suitable for you, you can choose one..."
"Which college is Professor Happ?" Byers made his own calculations.
"Slytherin...don't think about it, you can't...you are too far from that cunning boy..."
"Don't, I want to give it a try!" Byers said.
His idea is very simple. When the championship starts, they may not have time to attend classes. Now he just wants to choose the academy according to his preferences.
But the Division Hat disagreed. It did not want to violate its principles and assign students to completely inappropriate colleges. In the end, Byers and Division Hat were soaked in for five minutes. The Division Hat was really impatient and shouted loudly: "Gryffindor!"
A burst of warm applause broke out from Gryffindor's seat.
Byers took off his hat in a daze and heard Felix say to him: "Go and pick a seat and you will make new friends."
Byers walked to the long table belonging to Gryffindor, and when he sat down, he saw a round face similar to him.
"Uh, hello?" he greeted, "I'm Byers Bach."
"Hello, my name is Neville, Neville Longbottom." The round-faced boy replied.
"Did you choose Mr. Hepp's class?" asked Byers.
"Oh, of course..." Neville's attitude became obviously enthusiastic. He began to introduce the course of ancient magic literature, and then mentioned the Magic Art Club and duel class.
Next, the branch office's speed quietly accelerated—
"Stuward Ampton, from Ifamoni, Cat Leopard Academy."
"Hufflepuff!"
"Victor Percival Grevis, from Ifamoni, Longhorn Water Snake Academy."
"Slytherin!"
"Francis Hunter, from Ifamoni, Goblin Academy."
"Ravenclaw!"
Ten minutes later, the branch hat ended the brief branch ceremony.
Dumbledore stood up from his seat and said to everyone: "Next, please ask the chiefs of each college to lead your new students to enjoy a leisurely weekend. During the dinner, we will come back here to gather and have a good meal. Then Ifamoni's students follow your professors to return to the temporary residence. At that time, Professor McGonagall will send you the corresponding college schedule, and you can choose your favorite courses in the first week."
"Do you don't understand?"
He glanced around and said happily, "Then move, I think you should be impatient!" He turned around and bowed slightly, and said to the principal of Ifamoni: "Professor Fontana, I have this year's new tea in my office..."
"Of course." The principal of Ifamoni replied meticulously.
Dumbledore took him away, leaving behind a somewhat embarrassed Professor McGonagall.
Logically, Professor Wilkinson and Professor Moody taught the same subject and should have a common language, but McGonagall was really worried about letting them get along alone. She didn't want to see the news that Ifamoni's professor was attacked in Hogwarts the next day in the Prophet Daily.
She followed Flivie. She was going to talk about some relaxed topics. If Professor Moody was going to talk about her experience of chanting evil curses for students, she would also stop them in time...
Before leaving, Professor McGonagall gave Felix a look. The reason why she left with confidence was because she saw that the other two young assistants knew Felix, and she was very relieved about Felix.
Sure enough, Yuria and Bethny approached Felix.
Before she could say anything, Bethnie ran over and hugged him enthusiastically. She said excitedly: "Mr. Hepp, thank you for being late... Thank you for saving my life!"
When she let go, Felix smiled and said, "I just happened to have that ability. No matter who was there at that time, I would not be indifferent."
He didn't want to worry about this issue, so he changed the subject a little bit, "Miss Bach, Mr. Edmund, do you want to try the separating hat?"
This is really not a normal topic, and the branch hat seems weak in his hands.
However, Yuria and Bethni are indeed very interested. They have just watched the professor seat for a long time, and now they have the opportunity to try it out, they will naturally not refuse. The result of the test was that Yuria was assigned to Slytherin, while Bethni was Ravenclaw.
...
"I really didn't expect you to become professors. But it seems that you haven't withdrawn from the Innovation Society?"
On the ground outside the castle, Felix took two people to walk along the Black Lake. The students of Hogwarts ran to see the students of Ifamoni. The surroundings were empty and there were no few people. The breeze blew, and the big squid in the Black Lake was basking in the sun lazily.
His gaze swept the sail wave sign on the right side of the two's chests and asked softly.
"It's more than that! Brother Yuria is now the backbone of the Innovation Society. Many people join in because of his name, and even the logo of the organization was designed by him."
Bethni said with emotion, "Actually, Principal Fontana protects us. Before the Demon France Association officially made a decision, he hired Yuria, and I also became an assistant coach."
Felix nodded, and that was reasonable. Yuria Edmund was the student leader of the Paris incident. Even if the American Demon France would not pursue it at that time, it would inevitably cause trouble afterwards. However, after becoming an assistant teacher at the Ifamoni School, many problems were solved.
"But they still broke Yuria's wand." Bethni said hatefully.
Every time she mentioned this, she was so angry that she was furious.
Yuria said indifferently: "They are restricting me in these irrelevant places."
Bethnie shrugged: "How could it be irrelevant? It's too inconvenient to have no wand!"
Yuria shook her head slightly, and he looked at Felix: "Mr. Hepp, which course do you think I teach?"
Felix thought for a while: "There is only a limited amount of my imagination, herbal lesson... no," he saw Bethnie wanting to interrupt, realizing that he had guessed wrong, his brain turned quickly, and he could be related to him without a wand... He asked in a positive tone: "Is it a Muggle study?"
Bethni looked at him in surprise.
"Yes, but we call this course Ma Chicken Research - Ma Chicken is the abbreviation for non-magic people." Yuria explained: "I also suffered a while after losing my wand, but soon found that it had a much less impact on me than I expected... I could cast spells without a stick."
"On the contrary, I had more time to think. In the library, I saw Mr. Hepp's works and opened a window for me... Principal Fontana protected me, but he didn't expect me to teach students. It was me who chose the direction of research myself."
He said solemnly: "So, when I learned that the school would participate in the championship, I immediately asked the principal to ask him to add my name to the delegation...I hope to ask you in person!"
...
After they separated, Felix looked at Yuria's back with some emotion. Although more than a year has passed, he has obviously grown a lot and has done more organized things.
