Chapter 288 Hufflepuff: I Heard that some People Like to Buy Low and Sell High?

Hufflepuff, who was sitting at the staff seat, looked into the eyes of Rice, who was sitting at the long table of Slytherin College. She saw some different emotions in those eyes.

Helga thought to herself: I hope these Dementors will be sensible, so as to avoid trouble for her and Salazar.

And from Dumbledore's tone, he seemed to be quite dissatisfied with the Dementors being stationed outside the school? This made her feel a little better.

After instructing the students, Dumbledore began to introduce the personnel changes in the school this year.

"I regret to tell you that Keltborn, the professor of Care of Magical Creatures, has retired. His successor is none other than our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Remus Lupin!"

After Dumbledore finished his introduction, Lupin stood up and waved to the young wizards in the audience. After a year in Hogwarts, his complexion was much better, and his robes were changed into decent new robes. Lupin, who returned to school, was reborn.

There was a sigh and applause in the hall. In the past year, students have been conquered by Lupin, the reliable teacher. Fortunately, he did not resign, but just changed his position, and the position he transferred to was still suitable for him.

Some students also had an ambiguous smile on their lips: the value of the "curse" is still increasing!

The reactions of the professors in the staff seats were also different. Snape was very dissatisfied with Lupin's reappointment: when he thought about working with Remus Lupin for the rest of his life, he had the urge to resign and run away.

The remaining professors did not have too many emotional fluctuations, except Helga. At this moment, she was looking at Lupin with curious eyes. She knew that this teacher was a werewolf and was cured by the restoration spell invented by her and Rowena. She was observing Lupin like a doctor observing a patient.

"Our gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid will also serve as an assistant teacher in the Care of Magical Creatures class!" Dumbledore's next sentence set off the long table of Gryffindor College.

The little wizards of Gryffindor College applauded enthusiastically to celebrate Hagrid. Hagrid's face was flushed, and a sincere smile was hidden under his messy black beard.

Helga glanced at Hagrid and raised her eyebrows: Such an obvious giant half-blood - her eyes swept over Flitwick at the same time, and she muttered to herself: There is also a fairy half-blood - can go to Hogwarts to study, and finally become a teacher. Hogwarts is more open and tolerant than a thousand years ago.

I just don't know what Salazar thinks?

Rice didn't have any ideas. What he valued was whether the person was "reliable". Hagrid and Flitwick were undoubtedly reliable, so he naturally welcomed them to join Hogwarts.

After the applause subsided, Dumbledore introduced the highlight of the day to everyone - the candidate for the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. In fact, most students knew that it must be the strange witch who would be the professor, but everyone just wanted to hear Dumbledore's introduction to her.

"Finally, the person who filled the vacancy in the Defense Against the Dark Arts course is Professor Smith White, a very special wizard--" Dumbledore turned his eyes to Helga, asking her if she agreed to let him reveal her past.

Hufflepuff had no objection, because this "past" was fake.

"She is a wizard from hundreds of years ago."

Boom!

The hall was in an uproar.

Before this sentence, Hufflepuff, who looked ordinary and like an old woman in the countryside, did not receive much attention. But once she was given this setting of being from hundreds of years ago, she could immediately attract the attention of the students.

Everyone raised their heads and carefully observed Hufflepuff in the teacher's seat, trying to see some clues from her face.

What era is she from? Why can she live for hundreds of years? How old is she now?

Questions popped up one after another in the heads of the little wizards, but no one jumped out to ask, so the hall fell into silence for a while.

Finally, Fred from Gryffindor stood up and asked loudly, "Professor White, how did you achieve immortality?"

Hufflepuff smiled, stood up and told Fred that she did not use any magical magic, but was just trapped in a special ruins.

Fred was even more curious now, but unfortunately Helga did not continue to delve into this topic, but turned to talk to all the students in the hall.

"It's raining hard outside, isn't it?"

Although it was a bit unclear, the weather is really a universal topic in the UK. Hufflepuff's simple words resonated with the students, and they all complained about the bad weather.

"In this kind of weather, everyone should drink something hot to warm up their bodies." Hufflepuff looked at the students in the audience with a smile, and then drew out her wand.

She waved her wand, and everyone, including the professors, had a small copper cup in front of them, and the steaming hot red wine poured out from the bottom of the cup, filling the cup.

After doing all this, she turned her wand again, and the handles of the copper cups began to display the decorations of the corresponding colleges.

The students watched everything that happened before their eyes, and they were all shocked by Professor White's spell level.

"Cheers!" Hufflepuff raised his glass and greeted all the teachers and students.

"Cheers!" The students, whose emotions were aroused, raised their glasses and echoed, and drank the hot red wine in the cups.

As soon as this hot liquid entered their stomachs, the cold air in their bodies caused by the cold rain was forced out, and fine beads of sweat appeared on their heads.

While swallowing the hot red wine, Rice complained about Hufflepuff's drinking behavior in groups - who just complained about the bar in Hogsmeade village that made the students drunk?

"Although hot red wine is good, don't drink too much." After everyone put down their cups, Hufflepuff waved his wand again, and everyone's cups were filled with water.

"What kind of drinks do you like to drink?" Hufflepuff asked everyone another question.

"Butterbeer!"

"Pumpkin juice!"

"Coke!"

There were a lot of answers from the audience.

Hufflepuff ignored the strange and inappropriate requests and the drinks that he had never heard of, and chose pumpkin juice, a drink that was stable and would not cause disgust.

She raised her wand and tapped the people in the hall, and the water in the students' cups turned into orange pumpkin juice.

Students:?!

After they took a sip and found that it was really pumpkin juice, the students in the hall became even more excited: this new professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts made them look at him with new eyes without having to teach.

Only Malfoy looked very bad. He looked at the copper wine cup with a snake relief in front of him and remained silent.

Helga looked at the expressions of the students, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: After the news of tonight's actions spread, she didn't believe that the profiteer could sell the three wine cups!
