Dumbledore continued, "At the same time, we also have two new teaching assistants, one of whom is Hermione Granger, the Brilliant Stone teaching assistant for the Defense Studies!"
Hermione stood up somewhat awkwardly, nodding to the familiar faces all over the school, while Harry and the twins led everyone in cheering and shouting, and a huge cheer erupted from the Gryffindor long table.
"A teaching assistant for the third year! The first ever! I ask you, are you convinced or not!" Ron shouted.
Dumbledore raised his hand to stifle the applause: "The other one is Rubeus Hagrid, the teaching assistant for the Aberrations class!"
"Professor Kettleburn is quite old and only has one and a half limbs left. We need to take care of the old man."
Hagrid hurriedly straightened up, and Aragog, who was beneath him, also struggled to lift his head onto the table. Just by standing upright, he was several sizes larger than Professor Kettleburn, who was also a little old man with a full set of prosthetics. The contrast between the two was obvious.
However, the professor of the Aberration Beast class is already prepared to go to Gringland later to get a high-end fairy prosthetic limb, which will look much better than it does now.
Hagrid received a lot of applause when he became a teaching assistant. Apart from the freshmen who were somewhat afraid of this half-human, half-spider guy, the other students got along well with him, and some even dared to ride their eight-eyed spiders around the school.
"In addition to personnel changes, Hogwarts has also formed an alliance with the goblins this year. All students in their third year and above can fill out an application to visit their secret realm through the goblin office on the fifth floor two weeks after the start of the semester."
These words seemed to ignite the auditorium, and the students erupted in astonishing cheers. Just last year, they had learned about fairies and their secret realm in Lockhart's class, and this year they would actually be able to go in and see it for themselves!?
Moreover, Hogwarts quietly broke down the barriers between goblins and humans! It reunited the two races! How come there wasn't a single news report about it!
Dumbledore watched the children making a ruckus with a smile. As expected, tomorrow's Daily News would have another front-page headline.
"Finally, Quidditch selection will begin tomorrow. Students who are interested in participating can start preparing now."
"Alright, let's begin and enjoy the dinner!"
Thanks to the large amount of supplies Hermione seized from the Green Flame Party, the kitchen was not as cramped as expected this year, and the opening dinner maintained a fairly high standard of food, and the following days would not be much different from last year.
"However, Hogwarts really needs its own wizarding community. The small area of the Herbology Greenhouse alone will not be enough to support so many people in the future. We also need to build our own large ecological dome."
If the Forbidden Forest was truly a magical land, then perhaps after the pollution is cleared, it could be transformed into a fertile forest, enough to supply the needs of a city.
The castle was moved to the center of the ruins of London the next day, completely absorbing the high-intensity radiation that enveloped the entire city. This was a small act of selfishness on Dumbledore's part, making things a little easier for those Muggles who clung to the illusory dream of the British Empire, and also a way of comforting Queen Elizabeth.
This city was once the center of the world, a microcosm of an era, and this year's eighty new students are scattered throughout it.
They can't even see each other.
However, the sheer size of the area exhausted the professors. It took the combined efforts of the Order of the Phoenix members and seventh-year students to finally complete the wand selection safely.
However, the students, who were already in their third year, had long since lost interest in this. Ron and Neville had signed up for this year's Quidditch team selection with great enthusiasm, and Wood, a seventh-year student, had already decided that Harry would be his successor.
This made Ron and Neville feel that their selection was a foregone conclusion.
I'd like to mention Wood here. This Quidditch fanatic is said to be joining a group of uncles and elders who share his passion for the sport after graduating this year to form a new Quidditch World Cup organizing committee. They're calling on all communities to unite and revive the World Cup. They're no longer focusing on the small House Cup. In a sense, with Harry in their hands, Gryffindor winning the trophy is a foregone conclusion. He's starting to have bigger goals.
Hermione was even busier; she had so many classes to attend that she not only had to confirm which professor was in which classroom, but also had to arrange her own class location.
The first and second year students focus on theory and only need a classroom, but the third to seventh year students need to be in different towers.
The location of the tower varies depending on the type of magic being taught to them. This tower will also serve as the launch point for their magic in the future, so it's best to familiarize yourself with it beforehand.
Moreover, she didn't have much time to rest even at night. Since Dumbledore had promised that she could consult him anytime, Hermione couldn't let this old bee go for nothing. She had already made an appointment to have tutoring in the headmaster's office every night.
This forced Harry and his friends to train at the Room of Requirement on their own.
After they defeated the Corrupted Tree Spirits, Hermione opened up a new area for them—Lynia in the Lake. The corrupted Gaelic was too difficult, so they decided to postpone it.
"After passing through the veil of the storm—the city of Stoneville—the warriors arrived in the flooded region of Lienia. Due to the damage of the shattered war, the glorious Royal Kalia Academy closed itself off. What secrets are hidden there? What dangers lurk in this enchanting land? All awaits the adventurers to explore."
This beautiful place, and the distant view of Caria's House, convinced Harry that this was the inspiration Hermione had drawn from Hogwarts.
"Mom told me that the water level of Black Lake is rising, and when I go back to school, the area around it might be flooded! Look at that castle! It's flooded too!"
"So our goal is to fight our way to the castle! Who's the boss inside? Could it be a queen with powerful magic?" Harry looked at Hermione's finger witch memory avatar with ill intent.
However, his intuition was indeed quite accurate. Hopefully, they could still smile when facing the Full Moon Queen. Of course, it might be difficult to arrive in a short time. Without Teacher Tops' guidance or the letters left by the dead magicians, they didn't even know how to cross the magic academy's barrier.
Guarding the Brilliant Stone Key that can open the barrier is a rather ferocious Brilliant Stone Dragon. Given Harry's personality, he certainly wouldn't allow himself to steal the key from the Brilliant Stone Dragon and run away. He would definitely try his best to fight that dragon in a real battle.
In a sense, the future Hogwarts is indeed very similar to Rea Luccaria School, a magical castle suspended on the water, surrounded by dangerous mutant beasts such as giant lobsters. It would be just right for Harry and his friends to do some previewing.
