Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 113

c113 Grete turned out to be a professor

Today’s weather is very good, and Hogwarts rarely welcomes sunny weather.

When getting off the train, you can still see the shining stars in the distant night sky.

At the same time, this is the most relaxed semester for Harry since he entered school.

Ever since Gretel removed the fragments of Voldemort’s soul from him, his heart has been free of gloom.

Coupled with his mother’s meticulous care for a month, Harry has never felt that the future is as bright as it is now.

When getting off the train, Harry saw Hagrid holding an oil lamp and asking the first-year students to gather around him.

Even though he became a professor, Hagrid was still the admission guide for the freshmen. No one liked the little wizards more than him.

Looking at a group of worried and uneasy little wizards on their faces, Harry thought of when they entered school in 1991.

At that time, they were also like these freshmen, with longing and worry mixed in their hearts at the same time.

As they walked past the freshmen, they heard someone discussing, “I heard from my brother that the sorting of the houses requires fighting a giant monster, and only those who succeed can study at Hogwarts.”

“Really? What can I do? I can’t even kill a mouse.” A little hairy boy who was not even as tall as Harry’s waist stammered, and his voice was already crying.

“What can I do? My mother still wants me to be sorted into Ravenclaw. I heard that Mike Gretel, who defeated the mysterious man, graduated from Ravenclaw.”

The shadow that Voldemort brought to the wizarding world was really heavy.

Even though he had been completely destroyed, Voldemort’s name was no longer a taboo.

These little wizards who were taught by their families not to call out that name since childhood still naturally continued to call him the mysterious man.

When they heard the previous gossip, Harry, Hermione and Ron smiled at each other. This scene also happened to them at that time. At that time, some people said that they had to defeat the giant monster, and some people said that they had to fight the dragon.

Fortunately, Hogwarts did not intend to cause any teaching accidents and did not really do so.

Among so many people present, only Harry had stolen the dragon’s golden egg in public.

Rather than saying that this is an unwritten tradition of Hogwarts, it is better to say that all the adults who have studied at Hogwarts have tacitly united to play a little joke on these ignorant little wizards.

This is their first lesson to unveil the mystery of Hogwarts, which will surely leave a deeper impression on them.

Harry and his party were not happy for too long. After hearing Gret’s name, they fell into silence strangely.

I don’t know who sighed, and all those who were familiar with Gret all buried their heads and walked towards the Thestrals in the other direction.

Gret, the most talented student in the history of Hogwarts, is also the most accomplished student so far.

He is also the first student to betray Hogwarts.

Even Voldemort did not choose to abandon Hogwarts.

Since the day Gretel left Hogwarts, the name of Mike Gretel has become a new taboo for this group of old students.

Until they got on the carriage, Hermione suddenly said, “Harry, do you think I have a chance to see Gretel again? I haven’t decided who won with him yet!”

But it was obvious that Hermione was not seeking answers from Harry. She clenched her fists tightly, “By the way, it’s a new school year, you must join my association.”

Harry and Ron looked at each other and said in unison, “By the way, Ron (Harry), have you finished your holiday homework? I may need your help.”

Hermione rolled her eyes at them helplessly, “It’s not the House-Elf Association, it’s the Wizard Mutual Aid Association. Gretel is right. Each of us has the right to walk freely in the sun, provided that we fight for it ourselves.”

“It’s not the House-Elf Association, that’s good,” Harry and Ron patted their chests together and breathed a sigh of relief.

They couldn’t help but tremble with fear when they thought of Hermione’s crazy look last semester when she felt that the house elves were enslaved and fought for the freedom of the elves.

When they heard that it was not the House Elf Association, the two of them relaxed immediately, and then they looked at each other and finally realized what was wrong.

Wizards Mutual Aid Association? For the right to walk freely in the sun? Why does this sentence sound so familiar.

“Hermione, you can’t do this,” Harry said hurriedly, his voice was a little hurried, and then he lowered his voice and leaned his head over.

“Hermione, you don’t know, this is very dangerous. Gretel did this because he had the power to protect himself, and you don’t have this ability.”

Seeing that Hermione was about to start a long speech to persuade herself, someone also cast a curious look at them, and Harry hurriedly pulled Hermione down.

“If you really want to do this, you can contact Gretel after graduation. I have his latest contact information, but now, you must not be reckless.”

Harry’s green pupils were filled with worry for Hermione.

After a long time, Hermione nodded helplessly. She temporarily accepted Harry’s suggestion, but no one knew what she really thought.

——

The Thestrals took the main road of Hogwarts, which was much faster than the boats that the little wizards took to cross the Black Lake.

As usual, they didn’t have to worry about the luggage. The house elves were happy to serve their little masters living in Hogwarts.

Sitting in the Thestral carriage, on one side is the towering castle, and on the other side is the village of Hogsmeade, which can only be visited after the third year with permission.

It is the largest gathering place for wizards besides London. Even though it is late at night, you can still see the lights of Hogsmeade through the endless darkness.

Every year’s opening banquet is extremely festive. If you regard Hogwarts as a big family, the enrollment of new students is like the addition of a new member.

Everyone is filled with joy from head to toe.

However, this year’s opening seems to be a little different.

The seats of many colleges seem to be emptier, and the most serious ones are Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.

There is no way, most of the people Gretel took away are from these two colleges.

Some people from Gryffindor also joined the Dawn, but not as many as the other two colleges.

As for Slytherin?

How to say it, not to mention that most of the people in Slytherin are from pure-blood families, and they naturally support the existing closed-mindedness in the magic world.

As long as the magic world remains closed for such a long time, the status of their family will not fall.

It is not that Gret has not thought about recruiting some people from Slytherin to Dawn, but after many attempts, Gret gave up this idea.

Most people who can enter Slytherin have an ambition buried in their hearts, and they are used to protecting themselves and believe in victory above all else.

After Gret truly realized this, Dawn temporarily gave up on attracting Slytherin students.

It is not that Gret discriminates against Slytherin, but he just doesn’t want to spend so much energy.

Why go to the garbage dump when you can find treasure in the vault?

Besides, Slytherin people have a natural desire to be strong, and they don’t need anyone to teach them how to judge the situation.

As long as Dawn develops healthily and sustainably, they will naturally be protected by Dawn. Everyone in Dawn knows this.

The carriage Harry and his group took was not the fastest, and it was even at the back of the carriage queue.

This also led to them being almost the last group of people to arrive at the banquet hall.

However, the closer he got to the hall, the more Harry felt that the atmosphere was not right. According to convention, the old students should be very excited to discuss their holiday life.

Why is it so quiet today? This made Harry feel that the cool breeze blowing from the Black Lake was three points colder.

Stepping into the hall, Harry glanced at the professors’ seats as usual, and immediately understood why this group of people settled down before Professor McGonagall came in to remind them.

Harry never thought that one day he would see Gretel in Hogwarts.

He always thought that from now on, he and Gretel could only see each other through mobile phones or newspapers.

Who would have thought that he not only saw Gretel in Hogwarts, but also Gretel was in the most conspicuous professor’s seat.

Ron, who was standing by, was already stunned. It took him a while to wake up from the shock. “My Merlin, I must be dreaming, Harry, wake me up!”

“Ron, wake me up first. I also suspect that I am dreaming now. Maybe I miss Gretel too much. I have started to have such a bizarre dream!”

Hermione, who was standing by, rolled her eyes at them and walked a few steps quickly. Although she was also surprised, she would not behave like these two big fools.

Gretel looked at Dumbledore with resentment. He thought that doing logistics work would be great.

After finishing the work, he could continue to use the Hogwarts library for free.

But who would have thought that Dumbledore would actually join forces with Scrimgeour to give him a professor’s identity, and he was also the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, which Scrimgeour had been dreaming of for many years.

After learning the news, Gretel received several videos from Snape in a row.

He tried to exchange the position of Potions professor with Gretel.

However, in the end, Dumbledore rejected it.

In Dumbledore’s words, who in the entire wizarding world is more qualified to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts than Gretel, who killed Voldemort in a head-on confrontation.

When Gretel saw Harry and the others, he instantly perked up and waved to them enthusiastically.

He couldn’t wait for the dinner to end and find Harry.

Gretel was a little curious about how Harry’s life was in Spinner’s End in the past month.

He only knew that after Lily Evans was resurrected by him, Snape moved out of Hogwarts and lived near Spinner’s End.

That was where he and Lily Evans spent their childhood.

Not long after Snape moved back to Spinner’s End, Harry also went there.

The Evans family also had a house there.

Originally, the mother and son should have returned to Godric’s Hollow, the old house of the Potter family, but later they considered that Lily Evans was now just a soul and couldn’t take good care of Harry.

In addition, after Voldemort was eliminated, Harry no longer needed the protection of his blood relatives.

After a final discussion, Lily took Harry back to the Evans’ house.

She believed that Severus would be able to take good care of Harry.

Gretl had asked Snape for gossip, and after being venomed several times in a row, he decided to ask Harry.

Regardless of whether he could get the gossip, just the fact that he would not be venomed was enough for Gretl to try.

After Harry sat down, he cast an inquiring look at the Weasley twins.

These two brothers are well-deserved experts in getting information.

However, he was disappointed this time, because the professors of Hogwarts were notified of the news by Dumbledore only two days before the start of school.

Dumbledore found sufficient reasons for Gretel’s return.

That is, in order to fight against the evil Voldemort, Gretel played a big drama for the magic world under his arrangement.

Of course, only fools would really believe this reason, but it more or less cleared the obstacles for Gretel to take office at Hogwarts.

Originally, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts this year would be Dolores Umbridge, the big pink toad.

After Moody left Hogwarts last school year, Connery Fudge announced the news to Hogwarts on behalf of the Ministry of Magic.

If Hogwarts has not found a suitable professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts before the start of school, the Ministry of Magic will appoint them for the sake of the education of young wizards.

Dumbledore was once very worried about this. He knew that Connery Fudge was worried about him, so the professors appointed by the Ministry of Magic must not be simply teaching at Hogwarts.

In addition, Voldemort was resurrected, the Death Eaters made a comeback, and Dawn was watching covetously. Dumbledore really couldn’t spare his hands and basically acquiesced to this matter.

But what can he do? At this time of trouble, Gretel actually chose to turn against Voldemort.

And when no one reacted, the whole thing was eliminated in the bud.

The original Minister of Magic, Connery Fudge, also fell. Umbridge was able to become the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts because she was Fudge’s confidant.

The big tree fell, and the vines that survived by the big tree naturally couldn’t survive.

In addition to flattering, Umbridge, who didn’t know how to do anything serious, was naturally kicked out of the Ministry of Magic by Scrimgeour.

The established professorship naturally became an empty agreement.

Gretel was able to become the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts safely without being opposed by Professor McGonagall, which was also related to Umbridge.

When Dumbledore announced this, Professor McGonagall expressed her concerns. She was worried that Gretel would make a mess of Hogwarts after joining the school.

However, after seeing the stack of information about Umbridge that Dumbledore took out.

Professor McGonagall immediately felt relieved. After all, compared with a pink toad who would definitely bring disaster to Hogwarts.

Gretel still made her feel a lot more at ease. At least, Gretel would not discriminate against anyone in Hogwarts.

She was just a 15-year-old professor, which was somewhat challenging the tradition of the magic world.

But what could he do? Dumbledore insisted, and the new Minister of Magic also approved this approval.

Others could only accept it with a pinch of their noses.

Besides, Gretel, who defeated the mysterious man, was not someone that everyone could afford to offend.

Those who really understood the power of the dawn were even less likely to come forward to cause trouble.

Just like that, the matter of Gretel becoming a professor did not make waves in the wizarding world for more than three days, and it completely disappeared.

One thing that everyone understood was that no one could afford to offend the new professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.
