Chapter 240 Professor Meow Appears
In the middle of the night three days ago, in order to avoid Filch's pursuit, the Weasley brothers accidentally broke into Professor McGonagall's office through a secret passage, and found the next semester's class schedule on his desk.
Among them, the teacher in the column of Defense Against the Dark Arts is no longer Lockhart, but Mr. Meow!
"Mr. Meow? What a strange name."
After listening to the adventure stories of the Weasley brothers, Ron shrugged suspiciously.
"Anyone, as long as it's not Snape!"
Harry replied with a sigh of relief.
Charlie, who was warming up by the fire, couldn't help baring his teeth when he heard the word "Mr. Meow".
He originally thought that since his patron saint looks Chinese, he might as well call him by his previous life name, Wu Hai, Mr. Wu, or Professor Wu.
Unexpectedly, Dumbledore had already decided on his name in advance.
Mister Meow, do you want all little wizards to know that their new professor is a cat?
"It's seven o'clock, the start-of-school banquet is about to start, let's go there quickly!"
At this time, Ginny, who hadn't spoken much, reminded her.
Hogwarts has a school opening banquet at the beginning of each semester, but the school opening banquet after Christmas is not as grand as the school opening banquet after the summer vacation. It is that students and teachers of all grades gather for a meal, and there are no other programs.
Hearing Ginny's reminder, Harry and the others stopped discussing the new professor, put down the explosion cards in their hands, and got up to go to the auditorium for some banquets.
"Alice, you go first, I have something to do later!"
Charlie saw Alice coming over and wanted to call him to eat, so he quickly transmitted the voice.
Alice didn't think much about it, nodded, and left the common room with Hermione and the others.
Seeing that all the little wizards in the Gryffindor common room had left, Charlie pointed his tail in the air and said silently:
"Call the Divine Guard!"
Dumbledore had told him before that he would introduce him to all the little wizards and other professors at the opening banquet, so of course he couldn't attend the opening banquet with Alice and others.
Like an entity, the patron saint emitting white light, under Charlie's control, passed through the walls and flew towards the principal's office.
Half an hour later, at the opening banquet,
When a group of young wizards and professors were about to enjoy the sumptuous food at the dinner party, Dumbledore, who was wearing a purple wizard robe, suddenly stood up.
"Good evening, boys!"
The headmaster suddenly got up to speak, and all the little wizards and professors present turned their eyes.
"Beginning this semester, we will have a staff change. First of all, unfortunately, Professor Lockhart will no longer be able to continue to serve as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts due to personal reasons!"
Before Dumbledore finished speaking, the young wizards below suddenly burst into applause like a tsunami, and the professors on the professor's table also showed a little smile.
Pressing his hand, after the auditorium became quiet again, Dumbledore continued:
"Then, please welcome our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor-Professor Meow!"
"Professor Meow? Where is it?"
The young wizards present all stretched their necks and cast their eyes on the professor's table, but what puzzled them was that there was no new professor on the professor's table.
Not only the little wizard, but also the professors were full of doubts, because they didn't know who this "meow" professor was.
And at this moment, once a dazzling white light suddenly appeared on the ceiling, it turned into a handsome young man of Chinese origin, and slowly landed beside Professor Dumbledore. He turned his head and looked around at the little wizard in front of him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said gracefully:
"Hi everyone, I am Professor Meow, and I will replace Professor Lockhart this semester and become your new teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts class!"
As soon as the Chinese youth finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause and exclamation from below.
"Wow, he looks so handsome!"
"He's so young, he still exudes white light, he really looks like a prince!"
Obviously, the unique and handsome appearance of the Chinese youth, as well as the appearance of the whole body exuding white light, instantly conquered the hearts of some little witches present.
This Chinese youth is none other than the patron saint controlled by Charlie.
Originally, after he went to see Dumbledore, he planned to come to the auditorium with Dumbledore to attend the school opening banquet.
But Dumbledore asked him to appear alone for a while, and try to be as unexpected as possible, so that the little wizards can quickly recognize him, which will be very beneficial to his later teaching.
So Charlie thought about it, and took advantage of the patron saint's ability to transform from reality to reality. When Dumbledore introduced him, he walked directly from the second floor across the floor to the podium in the auditorium on the first floor.
So far, the effect seems to be pretty good, and the little wizards have a pretty good first impression of him!
However, in addition to the applause and exclamation of most of the little wizards, there were a few wizards who almost jumped out of their seats the moment they saw Charlie's patron saint.
First of all, it must be the Weasley brothers, because they recognized at a glance, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who was emitting white light on the podium, isn't it the white berserker who always wandered around the castle at night last semester?
Then there was Alice. When she saw Charlie's patron saint on the podium, Alice was immediately taken aback.
Charlie knows the Patronus Charm, Alice knows, and Charlie's Patronus Alice has also seen it, but she really doesn't know that Charlie will be the teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class this year.
Why, her cat is now her teacher again?
Now, she doesn't know what kind of attitude to get along with Charlie from now on,
Little cat, big cat, little boy, big brother, teacher, how come the little cat she picked up back then suddenly became a person of the older generation!
"Alice, what's the matter, are you also fascinated by the new teacher?"
Hermione laughed when she saw Alice staring at Charlie on the podium.
"No, no, don't talk nonsense, how can I!"
Alice blushed suddenly, and denied in a panic.
And Hermione looked at Alice in surprise, it was the first time she had seen such an expression on Alice.
In Hermione's eyes, Alice has always been a very calm and rational person, even the liar teacher Lockhart who fascinated her last semester, Alice has always dismissed her.
I didn't expect to be shy to the new teacher this time.
"Alice, you have to know that it's useless to look good on the outside, you have to have strength inside, don't be another Lockhart!"
Since Hermione knew that Lockhart was a liar, she became wary of handsome wizards.
"He's different from Lockhart, he's amazing!"
Alice quickly defended Charlie.
"How did you know?"
"Um... I guess..."
