After the branch ceremony began, Professor McGonagall, wearing glasses and tightly tied his hair into a small bun, placed the famous Hogwarts branch hat on the stool in front of the freshman.

Every year, this patched, dirty and torn old hat divides freshmen into four colleges in Hogwarts.

Last year, Hugo was assigned to Ravenclaw here. At that time, he was obviously a little nervous because he was worried that the Sorting Hat would see something that was not suitable for others to know. Fortunately, the Admiral Network helped him block that part of his memory and let him pass the test smoothly.

And now, he can watch the freshmen nervously being in the branch office just like the seniors last year.

On the table behind the branch hat, the school’s faculty and staff, except Snape, smiled at every branch’s freshmen, probably to welcome these freshmen.

Among the freshmen today, there are several very important supporting roles in Hugo's memory in the original text. As he remembers, the red-haired Ginny and the blonde-haired Colin Clivie were all assigned to the Gryffindor Academy, and Luna, who also has blonde hair but looks a bit weird, was assigned to Ravenclaw.

Except for the more important characters in the original text that Hugo focused his attention when he appeared, he was always looking around and scanning the entire hall, trying to find the Voldemort's Horcrux holder who was probably in this hall.

Unfortunately, I don’t know if that person is really not here or if he has been in contact with the Horcrux for a short time, so Hugo has not found anyone who looks suspicious.

When the last girl with short black hair was assigned to Hufflepuff, the branch ceremony ended. Professor McGonagall left the branch scene with the branch hat and the small stool.

Then Professor Dumbledore stood up. Although he was already very old, he was still as energetic as those young people.

"Welcome!" Professor Dumbledore said, standing up from his high-back chair, the glory of the candles on the ceiling shone his beard.

"Welcome to Hogwarts in the new school year! I'm glad to meet you again, and before everyone starts to have a meal, I'll talk about something important."

"Of course, it's a joyous thing," Professor Dumbledore glanced at the students below and said, "This year, I'm happy to welcome two new teachers to our team."

"The first one is Professor Lockhart. I think you already know that after receiving my invitation, he temporarily put down his trip and agreed to my request to invite him to the school to take the professor of the Dark Magic Defense."

There was a burst of applause and cheers in the auditorium, especially those girls, and some even stood up and clapped their hands hard.

However, Hermione and Venetto, beside Hugo, were still sitting at the table as quietly as before, and at the same time, looking at the flower peacock with a little contempt.

"Look at those professors." Hermione pulled Hugo's sleeve at this time, and when she reminded her, Hugo noticed that the professors sitting on the long table looked bad. Most of them just clapped their hands politely, and even remained motionless like Professor Snape.

Obviously, traffic stars like Lockhart in the magic world are not accepted by these professors.

For these professors, they think that if they want to be a professor, they should at least look like a professor, rather than keeping the star-like appearance outside after entering the school like now.

"As for the second teacher we appointed," said Principal even more unfavorable after Dumbledore waved his hand several times to signal everyone to calm down.

“In light of some of the accidents that happened last year and the work of Professor McGonagall Vice President, I am very happy to hire Miss Halsey as a Hogwarts Safety Officer and a teaching assistant in the Transformation Class.”

When Professor Dumbledore introduced the company, he stood up and waved to everyone. Perhaps because the company's outstanding appearance as a ship girl and is not much older than those senior students, everyone's applause to the company is no worse than those who gave Lockhart.

"Well, I think the important things have been said," Dumbledore said after everyone applauded, "Start the meal, I wish you all a happy meal tonight."

As soon as the principal finished speaking, the golden plates and high-legged wine glasses in front of them were suddenly filled with food and drinks. Hugo, who had been shaking in the car for a whole day but hadn't eaten much snacks, felt that he was very hungry now, so he took some of the food he could reach and started eating.

This is a rich meal; the auditorium echoes the sound of laughter and the collision of knife and forks. Everyone is communicating with their classmates about their experiences during the summer vacation or various interesting things they have encountered recently.

However, Hermione and Hugo were thinking about having a meal at this time, hoping to find the company to ask her how she came here after the meal.

The last small piece of pumpkin pie disappeared from the golden plate, and Dumbledore said that everyone should go to bed, so the Hermione and his brother immediately jumped from their seats and headed straight for the door of the auditorium.

After waiting at the door for a few seconds, they soon waited to get out with a large number of students.

"Congratulations, Master Enterprise - Professor." When we went out for a trip together, Hermione quickly became a friend of the company when she was consciously approaching her. So after seeing the company, Hermione immediately pulled Hugo forward to say hello to her. "I really didn't expect you to come to Hogwarts to be a professor."

"It's thanks to you," said Enterprise and Granger after walking to a place with few people.

"After I came to the UK, I didn't know what to do. Later, I saw the advertisement of Hogwarts recruiting professors of black magic defense in the "Prophet Daily" and thought of you here, so I applied for the job."

"But I came a little late, and Lockhart had become a professor at the school." The company shrugged and said, "But when I expressed my hope to find a job at the school, the principal who had carefully read my resume still gave me the current job."

"It sounds very good." Hugo nodded and said, at least it was a very good thing to come to Hogwarts to teach in the British magic world.

"It's really good, because the work is not very labor-intensive. In addition to patrolling every night and checking the defense of Hogwarts Castle, you only need to help Professor McGonagall prepare lessons or help her lead a few classes when she is busy and you can enjoy the same treatment as other professors." When it comes to new jobs, the company seems very happy.

Of course, what she didn't say was that the happiest thing for her was to have the opportunity to get close to her admiral. At least for the ship girls, this should be the thing that deserves their happiness.
