Chapter 68 67. Start of school
The girl's facial features are exquisite, but she is covered with dust, and her messy hair makes her look like a wild girl who is a beggar on the street.
After being sent to this room, the girl sat silently on the ground like the other students, without any contact with anyone else.
Slowly, more and more students came to this basement, even surpassing the total number of all the students Jon had seen in the carriage. There were about seventy or eighty children gathered here, and each of them was dirty. , wearing a tattered linen robe, with a thin body and a yellow complexion, all of them looked malnourished.
And when the time was close to seven o'clock, the door that had been closed was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
A tall, muscular wizard with a long twisted face walked in.
When they saw this wizard, most of the students sitting here trembled subconsciously. They were obviously afraid of the man who entered the door.
Jon looked at the wizard coldly in the corner. He held the shackles in one hand and the whip in the other. After entering the door, an excited grin appeared on his face.
There were two house-elves responsible for taking the "Mudbloods" back to the castle. When they saw the wizard coming in, they immediately handed the parchment to him respectfully. It was the "vacation practice" assessment for all the students present. score sheet.
The two house-elves called the wizard "Mr. Dolohov."
Before coming, Dumbledore provided Jon with all the teacher information about Hogwarts Castle that the Order of the Phoenix now has.
The full name of this "Mr. Dolohov" should be "Antonin Dolohov". He is currently the administrator of Hogwarts Castle. He was once a loyal lackey of Voldemort's subordinates, and he is also an extreme pure-blood.
He is keen to punish erring students with whips and shackles, mudbloods and half-bloods alike, but just ignores any behavior of pure-blood students in the castle.
Taking the form from the elf, Dolohov waved his hand, and the two house-elves bowed and disappeared from the room.
"Very well, after two months, we met again, children, after being separated for such a long time, I miss you very much."
He said kind words in a cold and harsh voice, which made the students in the room feel no warmth at all, and the younger children shrank subconsciously into the corner.
The auditorium of Hogwarts was brightly lit, and the pure-blood and half-blood students who had been away from school for two full months returned to the castle.
The auditorium is beautifully decorated. Hundreds of candlesticks carry lit candles floating in the air. The ceiling is a gorgeous starry sky. It is not a piece of glass, but is enchanted to directly present the starry sky outside the castle.
There are a total of four long tables below, one of which is placed separately from the high platform with the other three clearly defined ones, while the other three long tables are placed evenly in the center of the auditorium.
The students sitting on the long table near the high platform wore school robes that were more delicate, with a circle of gold embroidered on the cuffs and collars, and a dark green coiled snake tattooed on their chests. Insignia of the H.
Draco Malfoy was also sitting there, and he glanced haughtily at the mixed-race freshmen who were being ushered into the auditorium by a professor and excitedly sat down on the other three long tables.
"After all, they are all a group of ignorant mixed-race bastards."
He sneered and whispered to the two stout boys beside him.
Crabbe pointed to a handsome boy with a gentle expression among the three long tables below.
"I heard that person is very appreciated by Professor Snape. What is his name? Diggory?"
Malfoy saw the boy he was pointing at, and said disdainfully.
"Cedric Diggory, his father is still an employee of the Ministry of Magic, but no matter how talented a half-blood is, Snape can only take care of his kind."
His voice was very low for the last sentence, and when he was speaking, he unconsciously looked at the long table full of Hogwarts teachers.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the man who was covered in black robes like a big bat didn't pay attention to them.
On the three long tables below, the students of the Mixed-Blood College welcome the freshmen. Seamo and Dean, who have already entered the second grade, are enthusiastically introducing the process of tonight's orientation party to the freshmen.
"Mr. Principal will come over later. This is the only day he will come to Hogwarts Castle in a school year. However, when we enrolled last year, he did not make any long speeches. He just welcomed the new students and announced the start Dinner. The food here is great, and I strongly recommend you to try the roasted pork knuckle later, the taste is really intoxicating.”
"Students on that long table alone? Leave them alone, they are privileged no matter where they are, but don't provoke any of them, the professors will not turn to us. Besides, Hogg Watts is great everywhere, it's a great school!"
Soon, the door in the room was opened from the outside again.
The person who came in this time was a person Jon was familiar with—Barty Crouch Jr. He still had that faint smile on his face, and walked in with several boys and girls.
"These are new students this year, remember to take good care of them, Dolohov."
"Of course I will, Professor Crouch."
Dolokhov replied with a smile. He sent little Barty out, and then brought the freshmen into the room, and among them was a child who was at a loss for everything in front of him.
"Are you a professor too? Sir, why don't we go to the big room in the castle with the others? And Professor Crouch said he would prepare wands for us"
"Snapped!"
Before he finished asking the question, the thick and long whip came to him!
The boy's entire face was distorted in pain, and he cried in the next second, not understanding what he did wrong.
Dolokhov ignored him, but drove the other stunned freshmen to find an open space to sit down.
"It's still a long time, children, don't be afraid if you don't know the rules. Your seniors and sisters will show you in person what the rules are for Mudblood in this castle!"
He put his eyes on the report card in his hand, as if he saw something that satisfied him, the arc of the corner of his mouth became wider and wider, and he called out a name loudly.
"Taylor Stebbins!"
It’s really hard to find information on Muggle students. I searched the Harry Potter Encyclopedia but couldn’t find much
