Chapter 198 Professor Hamilton and Professor Rozier
"Ta-da!"
As Professor McGonagall gently tapped the cup, the young wizards immediately fell silent.
Everyone knows that this marks the start of the school opening ceremony.
Next came the very traditional Sorting Ceremony. Having already witnessed it last time, Loira didn't pay much attention to it again. In fact, the only reason she paid attention last time was because Luna was there.
Ah, Luna is sitting obediently in her chair, not as happily chatting with others as Hagrid betrayed himself.
Loila felt a little relieved—but this relief was destined not to last long. As the Sorting Ceremony ended, Dumbledore coughed and slowly stood up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, and professors, it is a pleasure to see you all in the new year."
"We've been through a lot this summer—" he said with a slight smile, and what he said made Loila's lips twitch—were you doing this on purpose?
Should we remind everyone again when school starts?
I almost forgot—well, I haven't forgotten at all—Loila lowered her head and hid slightly in Hagrid's shadow, feeling a little scared at the thought of what was about to happen.
It must be time for the introductions again, right? As the new professor of magic arrays—Dumbledore had already said what he was going to say—although he also said he could simply get up as easily as last year—but Roy still wanted to say something.
She needed Dumbledore's trust—so naturally she had to do her job well—and—and after a summer of internal struggle, Loira had decided to change her previous silent approach in the Magic Circles class—
Since I've already decided to talk during class, then—what I say at the mere opening ceremony shouldn't be a big deal, right?
Right?
Although Loila had been memorizing it for a week, she still subconsciously felt anxious, weak in the hands and feet, and even a little dizzy.
Speaking in front of all the Hogwarts students is completely different from speaking in the classroom! Although she had the idea of pushing her boundaries, she was now having second thoughts.
"Next, let's welcome our new professor of magic arrays, Professor Loila Hamilton, to say a few words?"
coming!
coming soon!
Loira took a deep breath, pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and slowly stood up. As soon as she stood, her legs felt weak, and she had to gently wave her wand to steady herself and prevent herself from falling.
Even so, she almost fell off the chair.
"Plop—"
She swallowed hard, then coughed.
In the somewhat silent and awkward atmosphere, he said softly, "I'm very—very happy to be everyone's—everyone's magic circle instructor."
'
The young wizards below the stage fell silent—of course, the main reason was probably that they hadn't heard what Professor Hamilton said, or rather, they all thought that Professor Hamilton was just standing up to make a gesture, just like last year.
"Clap clap clap." Enthusiastic applause rang out, making Loila subconsciously a little surprised and delighted.
I never expected that everyone would be so supportive of me during my first speech.
"Professor Hamilton is still as silent as ever," Ron and Harry whispered.
The other two nodded as well.
With the spell broken, Roy plopped back into her chair, her face flushed with excitement—she was about to give a speech in front of people in an auditorium!
I even won applause, just like Lord Grindelwald—what? I'm actually quite good at giving lectures?
The delighted Loila was completely unaware that no one else could hear her speech except herself—but that seemed to be a good thing, as it gave her a somewhat insincere encouragement.
Seeing Loila sit down, Dumbledore nodded slightly and said, "Professor Hamilton's course on magic arrays is sure to interest everyone—but as Professor McGonagall has said, this course is very difficult to take."
"All students who wish to take the course must meet the corresponding requirements." He paused, then added, "Of course, Professor Hamilton may also be allowed to audit the course if he wishes."
"Sit in?!" Harry clenched his fist excitedly. He thought he wouldn't be able to participate! He never expected there would still be a chance—as long as Professor Hamilton agreed—
Dumbledore's words immediately sparked a discussion among the students, but also made Loira subconsciously feel uneasy—it was actually she who had brought this up with Dumbledore.
The main reason was for Luna's sake—because Luna said she wanted to attend Loila's magic array course—and Loila made this decision after careful consideration.
But now it seems that my course, which I know will definitely bore students, is actually quite popular?
It's good that more people can understand magic array techniques, and it's good that my courses are being recognized, but it's also good when these two good things come together—
Why am I not happy at all?
"Now, let me introduce our two new professors," Dumbledore said again, silencing the students.
"The first one is Professor Peterson Hamilton," Dumbledore said with a slight smile. "He will be our new Professor of Muggle Studies at Hogwarts."
Hamilton?!
Another Hamilton?
All the students looked at him with some surprise—Hogwarts had never seen anything like this before—both professors came from the same family—
"Clatter".
The refined middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses slowly rose and smiled gently at the students: "It's a pleasure to meet you all—Gervaisk—in my—"
Loila didn't listen carefully to what he said after that; she was now completely panicked.
Peterson — Peterson Hamilton —
Wasn't he the one who suspected her of being a fraudster?! It had been so long since she'd seen him that Loira had almost forgotten what he looked like—but hearing his name still brought back memories of the person who wanted to send her to the Ministry of Magic—
Why did he come?
Is it to get me into the Ministry of Magic? But I've always had this name—
Loila lowered her head and trembled slightly, completely unaware of the gaze Peterson cast at her.
Seeing Peterson sit down, Dumbledore raised an eyebrow, then glanced at Loila. After a brief stare, he coughed and said, "So, after introducing Professor Peterson Hamilton—"
"Now, please allow me to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." He said, looking at the person sitting next to Snape who hadn't spoken until now.
"Professor Shiloh Rozier."
Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Rozier?! Royla subconsciously looked at the unfamiliar woman sitting next to Professor Snape, and then she saw a pair of cold—hostile purple eyes.
"Clatter".
Hagrid, who was chatting with Peterson, paused for a moment, then turned his head slightly and found that Loila had leaned her head against him at some point.
He was still muttering to himself, "Ro-Ro-Ro-Rozier!"
