People are in Hogwarts, and werewolves block the door at the beginning..

Chapter 167 Tonks's Arrival
The appearance of the little Japanese boy who could help Bagel perfectly master the Killing Curse did not attract his attention.

Because, at the moment the sorting ceremony ended, the familiar voice sounded again.

[Zila.Zila, the number of gems has exceeded 500000. The [Near World Shuttle] component can be upgraded. Do you want to upgrade?]

At the same time, a stream of information flooded into my mind.

Originally, the "Near World Shuttle" component only required 30000 gems to be activated and had no CD.

But after the upgrade, there will be a 6-month CD time.

At the same time, the world will be screened more accurately.

Just like before, Bagir found the [Community Component] in the world of the Good Demon Law School just by luck.

Normally, we are likely to encounter another situation where the similarities between worlds are too great, which is greater than the attraction between systems and system components.

That is, traveling to another Harry Potter world where Badger Granger survives.

Or travel to a world with only the smell of system components.

But now, the upgraded Near World Travel component will not have this flaw.

Moreover, the upgraded crossing method is safer.

You don't have to walk into the channel, just activate the "Nearby World Shuttle" component to receive information about the world you are about to travel through.

If that world is too dangerous, Bagir can temporarily seal the passage and spend gems to choose the next target.

Also, Bajir doesn't necessarily have to wait for the CD time.

If he is brave enough, he can also choose to travel through the world in an unupgraded form.

"Yes."

Baqir chose to upgrade.

But in this case, you will have to wait until December before you can travel through time again.

But this was no loss to Bagel.

In fact, after acquiring the [Community Component], he had almost given up on traveling through the [Nearby World Travel] component.

Because, the chat groups created by the [Community Component] can also obtain new world coordinates by attracting new members, and it is also safer and cheaper.

But now, it seems that the upgraded "Near World Travel" component does not have to be discarded.

Thinking of this, Bajir smiled.

In reality, after the last few students were sorted into Gryffindor, Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment, picked up the Sorting Hat and left.

"How disgusting, they all followed Bucky to Gryffindor." Fleur wrinkled her nose.

In her opinion, the Sorting Hat's mechanism of sorting houses - based mainly on the students' own wishes - is really stupid.

"Bucky?" Hermione narrowed her eyes, but she didn't dwell on it. "Don't those foreign students know that the Philosopher's Stone is in Dumbledore's hands?"

"He's so obvious."

Indeed, most of the foreign students also looked at Dumbledore.

He stood up, smiling broadly, and stretched out his arms.

"Welcome!" he said. "Welcome everyone to Hogwarts to start a new school year!"

"But before that, I would like to introduce two new members to you."

"The first is Professor Lupin, who has graciously agreed to fill the Defence Against the Dark Arts gap."

There was applause from the audience.

A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.

Lupin, who was supported by Sirius and no longer in poverty, received a warm welcome that was different from the original world line.

"Look at Snape!" Ron whispered into Harry's ear.

Potions teacher Snape's eyes were fixed along the long staff table at Professor Lupin.

"Is it because Lupin took away the Defense Against the Dark Arts teaching position he wanted?" Harry himself couldn't believe it.

The twisted expression on Snape's thin, sallow face went beyond anger; it was hatred.

Harry wasn't surprised.

Because the next second, he remembered that Lupin was also one of the robbers.

This is normal.

Harry missed it more.

That was how Snape looked every time his eyes fell on his face during the first few days of school.

But he hadn't experienced this kind of gaze for a long time.

After he knew the truth, expressed his affection to Snape, and studied hard in Potions class, Snape looked at him with nothing but disgust and confusion.

Only the frequency of deducting points from him remained unchanged.

Basil was even more surprised that Dumbledore would speak before the banquet.

In the past, as well as in movies and novels, Dumbledore always gave long speeches after the banquet.

Is it because the sorting took too long? Should we just eat later?
"As for the second," Dumbledore continued after the perfunctory applause for Professor Lupin had died down, "I have noticed for a long time that you might prefer to do it yourself."

"Thank you, Professor Dumbledore," Tonks said cheerfully, almost jumping to her feet. "Hello everyone, I'm Nymphadora Tonks."

"I think everyone should know me this summer. Crime nemesis, evil catcher, genius Auror. Balabala, etc."

She paused, took a deep breath, then raised her hands and stretched her body, "Wuhu! I must say, it's great to be back at Hogwarts!"

She winked mischievously, leaning her hands on the table, her eyes scanning almost every head in the auditorium, "It's so great to see you from this angle!"

"In fact, I thought about applying to stay on as a teacher, but Professor Dumbledore rejected me because I don't understand Muggles as well as Quirinus."

Ron frowned. "Muggles? The Defense Against the Dark Arts professorship depends on who knows Muggles better?"

"Isn't Quirrell a dark wizard? Would he understand Muggles? If that's true, then he should be like my father, how could he be possessed by Voldemort?"

When they heard Voldemort's name, the students around who wanted to explain shrank their necks.

Only Harry looked calm. "Don't you know? Quirrell used to be a professor of Muggle Studies."

On the stage, Tonks also cooperated by touching her chest with her hand, expressing her regret, "It's so unfortunate. It is said that not a single piece of his body is left intact."

"Okay, in order not to disturb everyone's meal time, I will get to the point now."

After saying this, she began to feel around, "Where is it?"

“Ahaha, found it!”

She pulled out a piece of parchment. "This is what our Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, wanted to tell you all."

"The Ministry of Magic has always believed that educating young wizards is a very important matter."

“Some of the precious talents you are born with may be fruitless if they are not cultivated and exercised under careful and meticulous guidance.”

"The ancient skills unique to the magical world must be passed down from generation to generation, otherwise they will disappear. The precious treasure trove of magical knowledge accumulated by our ancestors must be protected by those who are fortunate enough to engage in the noble profession of education. complement and complete.”

She frowned and looked down, "This is too long, skip it, skip it."

"Let me summarize. The teaching staff led by Dumbledore has done a great job, and Minister Fudge has done a great job, making Hogwarts as popular as it is now. Students from all over the world come here from far away to study."

"Yes, it is like that."

In the audience, Ron retched, "Ugh, this Fudge is too shameless. Did he do a good job?"

The approving looks from people around.

Bagir was also a little surprised. How could Fudge be so shameless?

When Peter Pettigrew escaped from prison due to his incompetence, he regarded these "students" gathered because of the Philosopher's Stone as his own political achievements.

But it seems that Fudge is still very concerned about Dumbledore.

Even when bragging, don't forget to bring Dumbledore along.

Tonks threw the parchment into the air, drew her wand with the speed of a professional Auror, and struck it with pinpoint accuracy.

The parchment turned into a festive firework.

There was warm applause from the audience.

Fred and George started to cheer again, "Great! Do it again!" "Use Professor Flitwick's cushion!"

The short Professor Flitwick awkwardly adjusted the pile of cushions under his butt that was almost as tall as him.

Professor McGonagall's two black eyebrows were knitted together, making her look like a hawk. Under her gaze, the Weasley twins stopped fighting and the hall returned to peace in an instant. Tonks stuck out her tongue.

He clasped his hands together and bowed to Professor Flitwick, "I'm sorry that I got you into this."

Then she straightened her back and faced the audience.

"I'm really getting to the point this time."

"I was assigned to stay at Hogwarts, patrolling the corridors, gardens, and any places where dark wizards might appear on weekdays."

"The temporary term is one year."

Basil noticed when Tonks said this.

Almost all the foreign students looked slightly gloomy.

Tonks looked at Dumbledore who was still standing, "Professor, what is the name of my position?"

"If you haven't taken it yet, can you be a little cooler?"

Dumbledore smiled, "Sure, how about a tour of the tourists?"

Tonks jumped for joy, "Cool! Looks like you've become younger for more than just your appearance!"

"My introduction is over, you may now--"

Dumbledore put his index finger to his lips and shushed.

Tonks stopped talking.

Dumbledore winked at her mischievously and said, "Forgive me for being an old man."

“I’d rather do this myself.”

"Whether you are a freshman or an old student, please enjoy the delicious food and eat happily!"

There was appreciative laughter and warm applause in the hall. Dumbledore sat down straight, and so did Tonks.

Delicious food suddenly fell from the sky. The five long tables were immediately piled with all kinds of delicious delicacies. The tables seemed to be groaning under the heavy weight.

Ron looked at the turbid liquid with black particles beside him.

“This is bubble tea.”

Ron bit the straw, imitating what Bagel had done before, and took a deep sip.

“Delicious!”

After he opened his mouth, he rarely reached out for the delicious food in front of him.

The staple food is rice.

In addition to the usual large pieces of beef, pies, plates of vegetables, bread, jam and jugs of pumpkin juice, as well as the previous milk tea, there are also many foreign flavors.

Many of them cannot be identified by appearance.

Some are just a mass of yellow mixed with red.

Some of them looked more like desserts made from milk than dishes, but it was clear they were not because dessert time had not yet arrived.

Some are like a cabbage placed in a bowl of water.

"Curry!" Hermione's roommate Parvati picked up the bread and dipped it directly into the plate of paste.

Ron quickly tried it, "Hmm~, beef! Harry, this is good!"

He nudged Harry with his elbow.

But Harry was drinking water with a spoon. He picked up a cabbage and said incoherently, "This is not bad. It tastes good."

Harry learned this from Basil.

He was stealing glances at Furong's face at first, but then he saw Bagir directly reach out and bring the bowl of clear soup and cabbage in front of him.

Hermione had noticed this, of course; in fact, she and Fleur were initially sharing a plate of bouillabaisse.

Most of the mid- to high-end cuisine in the British Muggle world is French.

Hermione, who came from a middle-class family, naturally had food to eat often.

Looking at the unfamiliar foods around her, she naturally reached for the spoon that was slightly more familiar.

Then she saw what Baqir was doing.

"What is this? Which country is it from?"

Suddenly, she noticed a glimmer of nostalgia in Bajir's eyes.

"Boiled Chinese cabbage. One of the representative Sichuan dishes of China."

He couldn't help but think back to his previous life, when the twins came from the foggy mountain city.

"What about this?" Hermione noticed the suspected dessert on Bagel's plate: a dish as white as cream and sprinkled with nut powder.

Bajir took a spoonful and said, "Yes, this is the taste."

"It is Furong Ji Nao. It looks like clouds or piled up snow. It is soft and tender when you eat it. You can't even see the chicken when you eat it."

“It’s also Sichuan cuisine.”

"So, that An Feng should be from Bayu."

He saw a lot of Sichuan cuisine.

Mapo tofu, fish-flavored pork shreds, garlic pork
His gaze shifted to the kitchen.

The house-elves were still working overtime to make the desserts that had already been prepared.

Perhaps this is the real reason for the long speech before the banquet.

The new milk tea that Bagel had added, as well as the dishes from various countries that they were supposed to prepare, made the house-elves busy.

Basil smiled and waved his index finger, and a small portion of shredded pork with fish flavor flew onto Hermione's plate.

"This should suit your taste, sweet and sour."

“A representative dish among the 18 flavors of Sichuan cuisine.”

“You can have it with rice.”

Hermione took a bite and said, "Delicious."

Students from other countries also tasted their own delicacies.

Masaru Kobayashi and Junko Suzuki are living their daily lives holding sushi and eating raw fish slices.

Marie Skotlova of Russia sips her borscht.

Erich von Manstein of Germany cuts a large pork elbow with a knife and fork.

Twenty minutes later.

Everyone in the auditorium was almost full.

The experienced ones even leave a small portion of their stomach for dessert later.

But unlike before, the auditorium was no longer buzzing with conversation.

Almost everyone's eyes turned to Badger and Fleur who were at the end of the Gryffindor table.

Furong's charm shouldn't be so exaggerated.

Only boys who meet her will behave like this.

But the existence of [Dreamland] really played a big role.

Non-club members all chose to become fairy tale magicians.

Among the group members, only Madison is not there, Zoe.

All I can say is that Alice, Rosalie, and Fleur, their otherworldly beauty, stimulated everyone.

The beauty magic of the Good Demon Law School really makes girls obsessed.

Even Ariana, with her thick eyebrows and big eyes, is secretly understanding.

Zoe and Madison also asked Basil to translate beauty magic into a version that the Salem witches could learn.

The group members and [Dream Kingdom], namely Alice and Rosalie, did not study.

They think they are already as beautiful as possible and being more beautiful would only be a problem.

But it's obvious that Furong doesn't think so. She doesn't follow martial ethics and learns beauty magic.
