Witcher at Hogwarts

Chapter 164 Controversy in the Auditorium

At the entrance of the auditorium, Ethan unexpectedly met Dumbledore. Dumbledore smiled and waved to Ethan, gesturing for Ethan to come over.

"First of all, Ethan, thank you for protecting Harry during this holiday. I heard from Mr. Weasley that you taught Harry a lot of skills." Dumbledore first expressed his gratitude to Ethan.

"This is what I should do," Ethan said, "Destroying Voldemort is our common goal."

Dumbledore looked at Ethan with eyes full of relief. In Dumbledore's view, anyone who could stand with him on the front line against Voldemort was a good person.

"Ethan, I heard something happened on the train today." Dumbledore asked Ethan.

Naturally, it was impossible to hide such a big thing from Dumbledore. As expected, as soon as the train arrived at the station, Dumbledore began to ask Ethan about the specific circumstances of the Dementor attack.

"The dementors were out of control. One dementor tried to attack Harry. After I stopped that dementor, other dementors started to attack me and triggered a riot."

Ethan gave Dumbledore a brief introduction to the situation at the time.

"I understand, thank you Ethan, you protected all the students in the chaos." Dumbledore's eyes revealed some gloom, but he still thanked Ethan.

"As a professor, it is my duty to protect students," Ethan said seriously.

"Ethan, do you feel that those Dementors are still under the control of the Ministry of Magic?" Dumbledore finally asked the question he was most concerned about.

"I'm not sure" Ethan's answer was beyond Dumbledore's expectations.

"Dementors are very dark creatures and they are very uncontrollable."

Because Ethan knew that in the final battle with Voldemort, the Dementors betrayed the Ministry of Magic and openly joined Voldemort's camp.

"I tried and failed to stop Fudge from letting dementors into Hogwarts," Ethan explained to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore looked serious and silent, thinking about something.

"Professor Dumbledore, the top priority now is to make students have the ability to resist dementors. I suggest that the Defense Against the Dark Arts class give priority to teaching the Patronus Charm to students."

Ethan suggested to Dumbledore.

"Ethan, this is a very good suggestion. I will ask Professor Lupine to teach the Patronus Charm to the students." Dumbledore agreed to Ethan's request.

"It's almost time now Ethan, let's go to the auditorium for the opening ceremony first." Dumbledore said to Ethan, and then the two of them entered the auditorium together.

The auditorium had already become crowded, and every table was filled with students. Candles suspended in mid-air illuminated the entire auditorium brightly.

The little wizards who had just entered the campus in the first grade gathered together, chattering excitedly, and white ghosts walked through the sky.

The first grade wizards were so frightened that they screamed.

There was a dirty and patched old hat placed directly in front of the auditorium. Ethan knew that this was the Sorting Hat.

Soon all the first-year wizards will put on the sorting hat and be sorted into their respective houses.

Ethan walked to the professor's chair and sat in his seat.

Whenever students pass by, the students next to them will applaud enthusiastically. This is their gratitude to Ethan for saving them by defeating the dementors on the train.

The sorting ceremony began soon. After the Sorting Hat sang a strange song, Professor McGonagall took the Sorting Hat and started calling the names of the new students one by one.

The entire sorting ceremony was completed smoothly without any glitches.

Then Dumbledore stood up. I don't know what method Dumbledore used. Now Dumbledore looked radiant, his face was red and he looked very energetic.

Ethan understood that some people in Hogwarts were shaken because of the Dementor incident, and Dumbledore needed to show a healthy and strong appearance to stabilize people's hearts.

The auditorium was still noisy, and Dumbledore stood in front of the stage, his blue eyes showing sharp eyes, and he glanced at the students.

The students who were caught by the gaze quickly fell silent, and soon the entire auditorium became silent.

Dumbledore's long white beard shone in the candlelight.

"Welcome to Hogwarts in the new school year! Before the food gets your head into a mess, I have to say something very important."

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Dumbledore. Dumbledore paused and then said.

"Something happened on the Hogwarts Express today. The Dementors lost control and attacked the train. Fortunately, Professor Ethan came forward in time to prevent the situation from getting worse. Please join us in applauding Professor Ethan's bravery. Behavior shows respect!”

All the students and teachers in Hogwarts stood up and gave Ethan the warmest applause. Even Snape stood up and applauded. After a while, the applause gradually subsided.

After the auditorium was completely quiet, Dumbledore continued: "At the request of the Ministry of Magic, dementors will be stationed in Hogwarts. They will perform official duties here and guard Hogwarts."

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, the auditorium became noisy like an explosion. Many students had already stood up and shouted loudly in protest.

Several new little wizards were even frightened and cried.

What happened on the train today has left a deep psychological shadow on the students. They never want to see a dementor again in their lives.

When they heard that the dementors were actually going to enter the campus and stay with them day and night, everyone was immediately unhappy.

Not only were the students unwilling, but even some professors murmured in low voices with ugly faces.

"Quiet!" Dumbledore's voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears, and the noise in the auditorium immediately stopped.

"Dementors guard Hogwarts, this cannot be changed," Dumbledore said majestically.

"However, dementors will not enter the school. They will only guard the entrance and exit of the school to prevent Sirius Black from sneaking into the school."

This news did not make anyone feel better, and everyone was still very resistant to this matter.

"One thing I must make clear. No one can leave Hogwarts without permission. The dementors will not listen to your excuses and reasons. No one should conflict with the dementors. Don't give any trouble to the dementors. An excuse to hurt you.”

Everyone's expressions were not very good at this time. The students stared at the table dullly. The dementors put a lot of psychological pressure on them.

Many students even plan to write letters to their parents when they return to their dormitories, asking them to take a semester off. They don't want to lose their lives just to attend class.

Ethan sat in his seat and watched all this quietly. He knew that Fudge was in big trouble. Today's dementor attack would definitely cause a sensation in the Ministry of Magic.

At the same time, this incident will also have a very serious impact on Fudge's status.

The forces opposing Fudge, led by Barty Crouch, will never miss this good opportunity to impeach Fudge.

Even if Fudge can survive this turmoil and is not forced out of office, his prestige in the Ministry of Magic will be greatly affected.

At that time, Fudge will desperately need allies to help him, and Ethan's opportunity will come.

Because of time travel, Ethan knows a lot of information that has not been revealed yet, as long as Ethan takes action at the appropriate time.

Ethan's status in the Ministry of Magic will be greatly improved.
