Chapter 126: Life in the New Semester
Life in the new semester began like this.
Since it was the beginning of the semester, there were a lot of things and a little busy.
The Aurors who frequently appeared in the auditorium and other locations on campus also slightly affected everyone's mood... from time to time, reminding everyone that the three fugitives who escaped from Azkaban were still at large.
In addition, those "dementors" with strange appearances who guard the key roads of the school can feel their influence even if they are far apart.
Apart from that, they are all excellent.
Every day, I still have four-point and one-line life from Slytherin's communal lounge, to the auditorium, to the classroom, to the library.
However, compared with the same period last semester, Matthew's condition is obviously much better.
There aren't so many messy things...
For example, Matthew, who was last semester, was worried all day long about when it would take his life; and now, after no sense of crisis, he even had the mood to joke with it.
At this time last semester, he was still worried about what the wizard world would look like after Grindelwald's victory; but now it seems that there is no essential difference compared to Dumbledore's wizard world.
Not to mention that for a long time after the start of last semester, Hogwarts was panicked due to a series of attacks.
This semester naturally there was no fear in that aspect. Several Azkaban fugitives seemed very far away.
The professor "Severus Snape" is indeed a bit suspicious, but he is a new teacher hired by Gellert Grindelwald, so there is no need to worry about it.
Everything seems to be nothing to worry about!
...
Mr. Apollion Pringer, the administrator of the castle, still patrolled the castle every day, or cleaned it, and of course loudly scolded the students who did not pay attention to hygiene.
When it comes to Mr. Pringer, I have to mention his golden retriever pet, Mr. Tang... Mr. Tang seems to have regained his former keenness (in fact, it was often slow last semester, which was Morgana's interference), and patrolled the castle arrogantly every day, barking at the students.
Matthew himself has no prejudice against Mr. Pringer.
However, his roommates are different. Malfoy, Crabb and Gore were once arrested by Mr. Pringer and criticized them severely.
Just because they broke into the castle in muddy boots at the end of their event at the Quidditch Club, and made muddy water everywhere at the gate of the castle...
He even found a reason to confiscate the newly bought "Bright Wheel 2001" flying broom by Draco Malfoy.
Poor Draco was naturally furious. He had not even rode his new broom to show off in front of his friends several times.
He first howled loudly and wanted to write to his father, Mr. Malfoy, to come to the school to condemn Mr. Pringer for such unreasonable behavior.
It’s a pity that the owl quickly sank into the sea.
It seems that Mr. Lucius Malfoy, after being involved in a summer "smuggling" case, was unwilling to be too high-profile during this period.
Then, Matthew was in the dormitory every night, together with Crabbe and Gole, discussing plans to retaliate against Mr. Pringer and regain the flying broom.
Despite these "proposals", Matthew seems a bit naive.
But this doesn't seem to matter to him.
...
The other teachers are very good, no different from last semester.
The course taught by Professor Bashida Basharat in the "History of Magic" class is still very popular.
She has already talked about the International Conference of Wizards in 1289. That conference has important significance in the history of magic, and many historical events in the next hundreds of years have been affected... For example, the response of the wizards to "Witch Hunting Operation" and the establishment of two magic schools, Demstrong and Boothbaton...
In addition, when the first magic history class was about to end, Professor Basharat mentioned in a subtle way that she wanted to find a successor in the next few years and then retire.
Only after retirement can she take more time to write a new version of "History of Magic" and "Modern History of Magic".
Naturally, no one wants Professor Basharat to retire, and it is difficult to find a wizard in the whole of England who knows history better than her.
But everyone has to admit that she is indeed very old.
...
The spell class is still a relaxing and enjoyable course.
Professor Filius Frieve, who is half fairy-born (although he never admitted it publicly), spent a whole class, taking everyone to review the spells he learned last semester...such as floating spells, flash spells, lock opening spells, etc.
When the get out of class was over, Theodore Nott quietly ran to Professor Flivie and asked him whether he would participate in the duel club this semester.
Then, he received a positive answer from Professor Flivie.
Professor Flivie also told Nott that in addition to him this year, another teacher also took the initiative to ask to participate in the duel club.
...
In Potion class, Slytherin's dean Professor Horace Slughorn was the same as usual.
His course content is very rich, but in the classroom, he can only see the students who are valued by him in his eyes.
And those ordinary students are often ignored by him.
Thankfully, Matthew Wakefield is a student that Professor Slughorn likes.
When Potions class was over, Professor Slughorn also reminded him and Matthew again, not to forget to attend Sunday's Slug Club party.
Only then did Matthew realize that if the Slug Club was included, he had actually joined two clubs.
...
The most solemn atmosphere is naturally the Black Magic Defense Class.
Principal Vita Rozier exudes a stern atmosphere all over her body. In her class, even the naughty students will become well-behaved sheep.
The second-year black magic defense, they will be exposed to how to deal with some magical creatures.
In the first class, Professor Rozier brought a group of Cornwall elves.
This is a small iron-green monster about eight inches tall, with a small sharp face and a very sharp voice.
Many students start to look down on them.
However, when Professor Rozier ordered them to come to the podium and face the little monsters alone, they all couldn't help but look ugly.
...
All in all, the course ended unknowingly for a week.
Although he was a little tired, Matthew was very fulfilled.
At the same time, he could also feel that there would not be so many messy things this semester.
The next year will definitely be a peaceful life.
PS: There are only two chapters this morning, I owe one chapter to make up for it later.
