The demon monk in the second dimension

Since then, no Defense Against the Dark Arts professor has been able to teach the course at Hogwarts for two consecutive years; each year, the professor would suffer an unexpected serious injury.

This year, Voldemort naively believed that his curse would avoid him.

The result was clearly not like that.

Dumbledore was also very troubled by this.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor went bankrupt right at the start of the semester. Where is he going to find someone fearless enough to fill in?

Upon hearing this, everyone probably thought that Voldemort's curse had become even more powerful, and no one was willing to come anymore!

……

Back in the Great Hall, the Sorting Ceremony had already ended.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xia Zhi walked into the Gryffindor long table and received a special welcome from the Gryffindors.

Fred and George, in particular, pulled him to sit next to them and served him food like fried chicken patties, acting like two lackeys.

At this moment, Hermione pushed through the crowd and came to Xia Zhi, giving him a serious warning.

"How dare you attack a professor! I thought you were going to be expelled!"

With an incredulous expression, she asked Xia Zhi.

"How did you know Professor Quirrell was suspicious? This is still too dangerous! If it were me, I wouldn't do this; I would have told the other professors first!"

The Gryffindors around Hermione were immediately displeased upon hearing her words.

After all, everyone was temporarily embracing the role of the "bad student who dared to hit the professor," and they were in high spirits when suddenly a "good student" appeared and started rambling on about how they shouldn't have done that.

Isn't this a downer?

High IQ but low EQ is a typical Western view of most academic high-achievers, or what they call "nerds".

Hermione undoubtedly plays such a role.

George and Fred chimed in at Hermione from the side.

"But this is cool!"

"But that will deduct points! And..."

As Hermione turned around to explain to the two of them, Xia Zhi suddenly grabbed her hand.

Hermione immediately turned around and met Xia Zhi's gaze.

She looked at Xia Zhi, who was the person involved, but instead of refuting her like others, she smiled and said to her.

"Thank you for reminding me, Hermione."

Hermione blushed and said dryly.

"It's nothing. I... I'm going back."

She quickly broke free from Xia Zhi's hand and ran back to her original spot, lowering her head to eat, not daring to look in Xia Zhi's direction again.

Seeing this, everyone else gave Xia Zhi a meaningful and mischievous look.

Chapter 276 Bonus Points

After the main meal was finished, all the staple foods on the table disappeared.

These leftovers can be eaten by house-elves or fed to animals in the Forbidden Forest.

Then desserts such as ice cream, pumpkin juice, and mints filled the long table.

Once dessert was finished, dinner was over.

"From the teachers' table," Dumbledore addressed the group.

"Now that everyone has eaten and drunk their fill, I want to say a few more words. First-year students, please note that students are strictly prohibited from entering the forest. Some of our older classmates should also remember this."

Dumbledore glanced at the Weasley brothers.

Seeing Xia Zhi sitting among them made his head ache even more.

"Furthermore, Mr. Filch, the superintendent, also asked me to remind everyone not to cast spells in the hallways during breaks. The Quidditch player selection process will take place in the second week of this semester. Anyone interested in joining the college team should contact Mrs. Hodge."

"Finally, I must tell everyone that anyone who does not want to suffer an accident and die in pain should not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor."

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he spoke again.

"And one more thing."

Dumbledore smiled at Xia Zhi.

"Because Mr. Xia Zhi discovered Professor Quirrell's problem in time, Gryffindor gets two hundred points!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the entire Gryffindor school erupted in cheers for the summer solstice.

"Two hundred points! We've added two hundred points!"

"Oh my god! This year's Academy Cup is definitely ours!"

As the Head of Gryffindor, Professor McGonagall was all smiles, and the way she looked at Xia Zhi was completely different.

This is a lucky star!

In contrast, the other three colleges stared wide-eyed, practically ready to unleash a torrent of curses.

Slytherins were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Two hundred points were added at the very beginning of the semester. Gryffindor is really going to take the world by storm!

How can we even argue about this?

……

After the banquet, the class leaders from each college led their students back to their dormitories.

Along the way, Xia Zhi was frequently looked at, her eyes filled with curiosity and amazement.

Having been reprimanded by Xia Zhi yesterday, Pi Pi Gui didn't dare to cause trouble in front of Xia Zhi at all when he saw Lei Fa today.

The group passed through the doorway obscured by the portrait of the Fat Lady and arrived at the Gryffindor student dormitory.

The dormitories were assigned from the beginning; Xia Zhi, Harry Potter, and Ron shared a dormitory.

The luggage had been placed beside their respective beds.

It's very late now.

By the time the new students arrived at the castle on the Hogwarts Express, it was already dark.

After that, there was a boat ride, a sorting ceremony, and a meal, and it was already ten o'clock.

Despite the many topics surrounding both Harry Potter and Summer Solstice, who had just been struck down by lightning and knocked out Professor Quirrell, waves of drowsiness washed over the young wizards, and they couldn't help but drift off to sleep.

The next morning, Xia Zhi woke up on time.

It's still dark.

He deftly changed into his wizard's robes and, facing the dormitory window, absorbed and refined the purple aura of the rising sun for the day.

Although they ate a lot last night, the little wizards are all growing and woke up hungry again.

When Xia Zhi went out to the Great Hall, most of the young wizards were still asleep.

Naturally, there was no breakfast served in the auditorium.

So Xia Zhi came down to the underground and scratched the pear on the fruit plate in the corridor.

The pear trembled twice and turned into a green handle.

This is the kitchen at Hogwarts.

Xia Zhi pushed open the door and saw many house-elves preparing breakfast.

Upon seeing Xia Zhi, the house-elf approached him warmly and asked him respectfully.

"Sir, how can I help you?"

Xia Zhi ordered some ham sandwiches, milk, and bacon and eggs for breakfast.

He wouldn't force the house-elves to provide steamed buns, shumai, fried dough sticks, or soy milk.

However, when Xia Zhi mentioned these Eastern breakfasts, the house-elf immediately became apprehensive and said that changing the Hogwarts menu required the headmaster's approval.

Xia Zhi wondered: Why would the principal care about this?

However, considering that Hogwarts doesn't have a Minister of Logistics, it should really be under the jurisdiction of Headmaster Dumbledore.

With breakfast in hand, Xia Zhi made her way to Headmaster Dumbledore's office on the eighth floor.

He shouted at the brass door knocker shaped like a lion's body and an eagle's head on the door at the end of the spiral staircase.

"Open the door!"

The griffin with the body of a lion and the head of a eagle glanced at Xia Zhi and spoke.

"Password!"

The door opened the next moment.

Dumbledore, dressed in a blue robe printed with moons and stars, looked at the breakfast in Xia Zhi's hand and said with a smile.

"Since you're having breakfast, I won't offer you the cockroach pile. Is there something you need, Mr. Xia Zhi?"

"It's about breakfast."

Xia Zhi didn't treat herself like an outsider at all, nor did she treat the principal with the same respect that ordinary students show to the principal.

"Professor Dumbledore, you and Professor Snape have both tried the breakfast at the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain. Why don't you add Chinese dishes to the breakfast menu at Hogwarts?"

"That's a very good suggestion."

Dumbledore nodded.

“I can send the house-elves from Hogwarts to the Celestial Master’s Mansion on Mount Longhu for a period of time to learn some Chinese cuisine. Quite a few students should like it.”

After breakfast, Xia Zhi's first class was a Transfiguration class, which she attended with the new students of Hufflepuff School.

As far as he knew, the Slytherins and Ravenclaws on the other side were taking Charms.

Clearly, the professors knew what the young wizards wanted to learn most, so they started with the essentials.

After breakfast, Xia Zhi woke up her roommate who was still fast asleep.

If he remembered correctly, Ron and Harry were late for the first class?

Soon, Ron and Harry finished washing up and, yawning, were led to the Great Hall by Summer Solstice.

Summer Solstice doesn't mind eating a little more.

"Borrowed, borrowed."

He took a piece of bread and deliberately sat down next to Hermione, spreading butter on the bread that was placed next to her.

The third-year student next to him smiled and offered him her seat.

Upon seeing Xia Zhi, Hermione felt inexplicably afraid to see him.

The little witch, not knowing what was going on, spoke to Xia Zhi with a cold face.

"What are you here for?"

"I'll spread the butter."

Xia Zhi gestured to the bread in her hand, which stunned Hermione.

Don't you have butter where you are? Why do you have to come all the way to my place?

The witches nearby remained silent, eating their breakfast while smiling at Xia Zhi and Hermione.

After being struck by lightning yesterday, Xia Zhi is now a big star at Hogwarts!

Seeing Xia Zhi's expression, Hermione turned away and ate her breakfast.

After breakfast, the young wizards went together to the Transfiguration classroom.

Although some new students arriving at Hogwarts may not be able to find their way, both ghosts and portraits are happy to guide them.

The premise is that you don't encounter the mischievous ghost.

Besides, every freshman has a rough map of the castle, so they won't get lost.
