Chapter 219 The First Day of School for 6th Grade
The Great Hall of Hogwarts was decorated in a magnificent golden style, with countless stars twinkling on the ceiling.
It seems there aren't many students enrolling this year; they were quickly assigned to various colleges.
Now, the four long college tables are filled with students, dressed in their respective college robes, their laughter echoing in the air.
At the front of the hall stood a large main table, where Professor Dumbledore and other teachers sat.
Dumbledore stood up, his robes gleaming in the lamplight, his smile warm and benevolent.
Headmaster Dumbledore stood on the high platform, facing all the teachers and students, and his voice resounded clearly and loudly throughout the hall.
“Dear students and teachers,” Headmaster Dumbledore began, “I have some important news to announce at the start of this new term.”
His gaze swept across the entire room, and every student felt his attention. "This year, we will witness an unprecedented magical feast—the Triwizard Tournament."
These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.
The students whispered among themselves, excitedly discussing the news.
Headmaster Dumbledore raised his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet.
“However, in order to ensure the smooth running of the Triwizard Tournament, we have to make a difficult decision.” His voice became serious. “This year’s Quidditch tournament will be cancelled.”
This decision has caused disappointment and dissatisfaction among some students.
Quidditch is one of the most popular sporting events at Hogwarts, and many students are passionate about it.
Headmaster Dumbledore understood everyone's feelings and continued, "I know this decision may disappoint some students. However, the Triwizard Tournament is a very important magical competition that will test the participants' courage, wisdom, and magical abilities. We believe that this competition will bring you more excitement and challenges."
His words gradually helped the students understand the necessity of this decision. The Triwizard Tournament was a rare opportunity for students to showcase their abilities and to interact and compete with students from other magic schools.
"In the time to come, we will do our utmost to prepare for the Triwizard Tournament," Headmaster Dumbledore said. "I believe our students will demonstrate the spirit and strength of Hogwarts in this competition."
"Of course, in a few days, the teachers and students from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, who will be participating in the Triwizard Tournament, will arrive one by one. Our students and teachers will organize a reception team for them, so please look forward to it." After saying this, Headmaster Dumbledore sat down to eat.
The young wizards who received the notification chatted quietly, and very few actually ate their meals.
“Senior Ayers, do you know anything about the other two schools? I almost got sent to another school by my dad. I heard that school only accepts students from pure-blood families.” Draco sat down next to me and chatted casually.
"Fortunately, I do know a little about it. Beauxbatons School of Magic is a major wizarding school in France, mainly for students from all over Europe."
The campus is renowned for its beautiful environment, surrounded by magnificent mountains and boasting expansive gardens.
Beauxbatons' most famous students included Nicholas, the inventor of the Philosopher's Stone, and Perenel Flamel, with whom he met and fell in love during their student days.
Over the centuries they spent together, the Flammels donated vast amounts of gold (which they created through alchemy), making Beauxbatons extremely wealthy.
Overall, this house has a good relationship with Hogwarts, although there has always been competition between them. I paused, taking a bite of my steak.
"And Durmstrang's position is the college's best-kept secret."
The school principals take school security very seriously, and even the students seem unable to reveal the school's exact location.
But the school was notorious for its repeated exposure to dark magic, and several notorious evil wizards had come from or had led it. "I told Draco.
Of course, my older brother was from that school, but he was expelled. "Who told him to bomb the school?" I muttered to myself.
The opening banquet for the new students came to an end quickly, and I led them back to the Slytherin common room.
After finishing everything, I went back to my dorm room. This year is different; I'm back to living in a single room, which is so convenient for me. I can finally have my own private time again.
After taking a shower, I sat on the single sofa, picked up Mingyue, who had been asleep for a long time, and placed him on my lap, gently stroking his fur.
"Mingyue, you've been sleeping for so long, isn't it time to wake up yet?" I muttered to myself.
"Ayers, do you really want me to wake up?" Mingyue, nestled on my lap, suddenly spoke up, but he didn't open his eyes or wake up.
"Haha, it's nothing, I was just a little bored. You can go back to sleep." I smiled, stroked his fur, petted him a little, and then put him back in his cat bed to sleep.
Throughout the entire process, Mingyue only uttered one sentence before falling into a deep sleep again.
[Night: Host, a new bloodline instance has been updated. Do you want to check it?]
(Night, hasn't it been a long time since a new bloodline dungeon was updated?)
[Night: Host, bloodline instances have a certain degree of randomness, so I can't tell you exactly when they will appear.]
(So what bloodline dungeon are we going to this time?)
[Night: A Bloodline Dungeon of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan]
(This time it's the nine-tailed spirit fox's turn. I've heard that nine-tailed spirit foxes are all very beautiful.)
[Night: Host, I can't be sure if they're good-looking, but I do know they're all top-notch in terms of strength.]
(Night, what you've said has piqued my curiosity.)
[Night: So, host, are we about to set off now to experience the Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline instance?]
(Please wait a moment, I'd like to sit here and rest for a bit.)
As a class leader, I have quite a lot to handle. I've been busy ever since I got off the train, and I just finished dealing with this year's freshmen. I feel a bit tired, so I just want to sit on the sofa and rest for a bit.
To kill time, I opened and started reading a new book that my older brother had sent me.
I really don't know where my brother came from; all he does is talk about black magic.
[Night: Host, there seem to be a few errors in your book.]
(No way, it even contains errors.)
[Night: Alright, host, the modifications have been made.]
(Thank you so much, Night)
So I sat on the sofa and read a book for a while. After finishing the book, I stretched and yawned.
