Hogwarts becomes host

The students inside had already started eating, and the atmosphere was very lively. With the professor's indulgence, everyone celebrated happily and noisily. It was impossible to hear what the other party said without shouting, so Harry couldn't fight with Elaine. small report.

Seeing Elaine walking towards Hermione pretending to be fine, Harry could only offer his blessings in his heart.

The Hogwarts dining hall was even more crowded than usual, and there were many adults at the tables. Harry recognized those people as the Aurors who helped guard, and it wasn't just Gryffindor, there were also several adults from other houses mixed in. Seats have also been added to the teachers' bench.

Most of the people sitting with the students were young wizards, and they quickly became involved with the students. Harry even saw Tonks at the Hufflepuff table, surrounded by many young wizards, who seemed to be talking. The basilisk thing.

Speaking of which, at the Slytherin table, the woman wearing glasses, heavy makeup, and fine curly hair looked very familiar. Harry remembered that she was familiar with Elaine, but he just couldn't remember her name. The woman was holding a sheepskin The paper and quill were leisurely recording something, which seemed a bit abrupt.

Because everyone was having so much fun, almost no one noticed Harry and Elaine entering the venue, but as soon as Harry squeezed his way to the dining table, and before he even had time to drink the pumpkin juice, Colin Creevey screamed and rushed over, frightened. Harry paused as he extended his hand towards the drumstick.

Then, the chicken leg was taken away by the other hand

"Harry, are you okay? The heir of Slytherin and the basilisk have been defeated. You must know something, right?" Colin shouted excitedly. He, Ginny, and the other first-year freshmen gathered Harry with sparkling eyes. Lee frowned, "Hermione said she was seriously injured and unconscious. It was you who confronted the heir of Slytherin, and you took out your sword and killed the basilisk. Is it true?"

"Uh"

Harry had to swallow his saliva first and think of a way to get rid of the curious audience, but he immediately realized that this was no end. Dumbledore only told everyone that the matter was resolved, but did not explain the details. Everyone was very curious. Including those Aurors.

Fortunately, Dumbledore quickly came to help Harry.

He held the wine glass and gently advised everyone to leave, saying that he would not explain the details until everyone had eaten and drank enough. Now everyone just needs to celebrate.

When Harry finally sat down next to Ron, he realized that the atmosphere between the girls was very strange.

Elaine tried to contact Hermione, but Hermione ignored her and changed seats with Parvati on the spot. Elaine had no choice but to chat with Lavender.

The strange behavior between the two made Lavender and Parvati want to gossip. They asked in a roundabout way. Elaine couldn't explain it, but Hermione directly confessed that it was because Elaine stabbed her and Elaine almost got beaten. Turn over the drink in your hand.

Fortunately, both girls thought Hermione was joking.

"You didn't tell her about the good things Adair did." Ron looked at Harry in shock, "I thought you said you weren't staying together all the time. The elf said you were translating the magic book in the secret room─"

"We have always been together, right, under Mr. Adair's nose." Harry replied helplessly, "Every time I want to talk to Elaine, he just stares at me and smiles. Can you speak in my place?"

"Uh," Ron was stunned for several seconds before replying, "If we were concerned about this, there would be no way we could tell her that they share a body."

"What should I do?"

"That's what I wanted to ask you."

""

""

"Professor McGonagall should tell Dumbledore about this." Harry thought for a few seconds and decided to pass the blame to others to make himself feel better. "After all, she was very angry at the time."

"Yes, she has already told Professor Slughorn." Ron nodded fiercely, "The professors will definitely handle it. It doesn't matter if we don't do anything. That's it."

Well, what good thing did you do with the anchor's body? When did you do it?

Hermione's attitude has improved. Maybe he helped the anchor speak.

How is it possible? Dad is a good man who works hard and never takes responsibility.

If he can speak for the anchor, I will eat this mouse

Harry and Ron thought that no one was paying attention, but little did they know that even in such a noisy environment, Elaine could still hear their whispers. Adair also translated the subtitles without caring, and now the audience also knew.

Everyone was curious. The problem was that Adair pretended to be dead again. He ignored hundreds of millions of barrage questions, but Elaine was a little dizzy from the large amount of text.

As usual, no one could do anything about Adair. In the end, Elaine promised to question Ron and Harry after the banquet, which made the audience temporarily stop the barrage attack and not ask directly because there were people around. .

Naturally, the less people know about the fact that the two of them share a body, the better. Elaine is not as stupid as Harry and Ron; of course, when pressed later, she will also remember that their bodies are not in public. Places tell secrets, even if you lower your voice.

Everyone ate and drank for a while. When most people were chatting and taking less food, Dumbledore clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention.

"Everyone seems to have eaten and drank enough, and is even a little tired." He looked at everyone with a smile, and the few students who left their seats quickly returned to their seats, "Then, just think of it as a short break, I'll come Tell some little stories, the old man always has a lot of stories to share, and everyone must be curious about what happened at Hogwarts during the Christmas holidays."

As soon as Dumbledore mentioned this, many students and even Aurors pricked up their ears. People either looked at the old headmaster enthusiastically or whispered excitedly to their neighbors.

"But before that, I have something important to announce. Students, please pay attention."

Just when the atmosphere was so high, Dumbledore suddenly betrayed himself. George and Fred immediately booed, and several senior students also followed suit, earning an angry stare from Professor McGonagall.

Dumbledore was very personable. After all the students were quiet, he continued.

"It's quite a pity that Professor Lockhart can't come back next semester. He needs time to regain his memory, so we are missing another Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."

Harry saw Ron curl his lips in disdain, as if to say "who cares".

"Fortunately, someone happens to be willing to take over this duty temporarily."

There were footsteps in the distance, and in conjunction with Dumbledore's voice, the door of the restaurant suddenly opened.

An expressionless blond wizard walked in. He was wearing a robe embroidered with bird totems and looked somewhat similar to Elaine.

The other students were curious, but only Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Daphne were horrified.

Professor McGonagall gasped, and Slughorn knocked over his glass.

"Dear students, let us welcome the temporary Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and the original culprit of the Basilisk attack," Dumbledore announced nonchalantly, "Professor Adair Shafik."
