Chapter 401 "New Arrival"

When Django walked away from the street, the forced smile on his face was pulled down instantly. This was the first family he chose, but Nurmengard's staff was a day ahead of him.

This made his happy and relaxed mood suddenly become tense. Thinking of this, Diango immediately quickened his pace, walked to a corner where no one was paying attention, and immediately Apparated towards the next destination.

Many other admissions officers sent by the organization also encountered the same problem. They were full of confidence to complete the task assigned by the boss, but they were cut off without even seeing their target.

The easy task suddenly became hard, although Sean did not explain that everyone must be brought back to Hogwarts.

In the castle at this time, the side hall next to the entrance of the Great Hall has been well decorated.

The ceremony should be prepared for the freshmen. Professor McGonagall arranged the off-white side hall warmly. Hagrid also brought over several original Christmas trees and redecorated them into a new decoration.

In the hall, Professor McGonagall was already waiting in a grand gown, and Sean also changed into a formal wizard robe and stood beside her.

"It's the first time we welcome new students like this." Professor McGonagall adjusted her glasses, looking a little helpless.

Professor McGonagall does not pay attention to the sense of ceremony, but she is keen to maintain the classics that have been passed down. She always believes that this is a way to maintain the atmosphere of Hogwarts.

Sean said with a smile on the side, "For new students, no matter what how they were enrolled. They must see a good impression when they enter this new world."

Professor McGonagall smiled when she heard, "Yes, this is the most important thing."

The two stood in the side hall and chatted, discussing their experience with Transfiguration from time to time, but the time passed quickly. However, no one appeared in the hall.

Professor McGonagall frowned, "Is there any problem? But that's impossible. In order to prevent accidents, Professor Dumbledore opened the school authority. The admission as the Portkey is all made by him. There will be an early warning when they were lost, and even the user's identity can be identified to a certain extent when it is activated."

Sean glanced at his watch and said, "According to the information I got, the first batch of admissions officers set off two hours ago. Even if the parents of that family are suspicious, If they can persuade them according to the procedures."

He's also a little unsure now. Lupin can be trusted, and there is no need to worry about any problems with these officers. The problem can only be caused by the way the officers travel and the students' families.

But there are not just one or two admissions officers. Lupin told Sean that he would send out at least ten people. All of them can't go wrong. Just when Sean was about to rush to the Room of Requirement and go to Lupin's place to check the situation through the Vanishing Cabinet, there was movement in the hall.

The space distorted, the small vortex expanded rapidly, and a boy appeared in the side hall, clutching an admission notice with his right hand and a large suitcase with his left hand.

"Oh, a freshman? Welcome to Hogwarts." Sean heaved a sigh of relief and greeted him with a smile.

"Oh, hello, sir." The boy was born into a Muggle family and looked surprised and embarrassed at the moment. He glanced at Sean and Professor McGonagall from time to time.

Sean said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. This is a normal thing for wizards. I think the officer should also explain it to you and your family, right?"

The boy nodded nervously, "Yes, yes."

"That's good. Oh, I almost forgot. Please allow me to introduce myself; my name is Sean Wallup. I am a fourth-year student, and I am responsible for part of the coordination of this admission."

Sean turned sideways and raised his hand to introduce himself. "This is the vice principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and also the professor of Transfiguration, Professor Minerva McGonagall. Her signature should be on the letter you saw."

Professor McGonagall nodded to the new student. It can only be said that even if she can show her majestic feeling, her whole character still overwhelms the students.

The boy stood up straight as if he had been electrocuted, "Hello, Professor McGonagall! My name is Claude McKenning!"

Professor McGonagall nodded and smiled, although this smile made Claude even more nervous.

"Okay, don't worry about anything," Sean patted him on the shoulder, "I hope that in the next seven years, you can treat Hogwarts like your second home and gain what you want to reap. Now, ready to experience the magic of the wizarding world?"

As soon as "the magic of the wizarding world" was mentioned, Claude immediately turned his head, looking at Sean with some anticipation and some fear. Sean clapped his hands, and after a loud pop, a house-elf wearing a cloth with the Hogwarts crest on it appeared on the spot.

"It is an honor to be of your service, Mr. Wallup!" The house-elf bowed.

"And you, Professor McGonagall! I'm so glad to see you again!" His voice was particularly sharp.

"Nice to meet you too, Polis." Professor McGonagall also greeted him with a smile.

Sean reached out and patted the shoulder Polis, "Polis, we are old friends, you know, I sneaked into the kitchen so many times to steal foo... Professor McGonagall, can you pretend you didn't hear that?"

Professor McGonagall pushed her glasses, "Mr. Wallop, stealing food in the kitchen is against the school rules."

Polis suddenly screamed, "No, no, Professor McGonagall! It was me who invited Mr. Wallup to be a guest, and he didn't sneak into the kitchen! Please just punish me!"

Professor McGonagall pinched her eyebrows, "Polis, you know that I was just joking, right?"

Sean laughed loudly, "Dude, Professor McGonagall is joking with me. Don't put too much pressure on yourselves. Oh, by the way, let's meet our new students. "

Claude was startled when he saw the house elf appearing suddenly, but he felt a little relieved when he saw that Sean knew him so well.

He got the courage to stretch out a hand, "Hello, Mr. Polis. My name is Claude McKenning. You can call me Claude. I am a freshman at Hogwarts. It's nice to meet you."

He saw the house elf in front of him screaming. His big face made an extremely exaggerated expression.

"My God! My God!" Polis exclaimed. "An honorable wizard wants to shake hands with me! What an honor!"

Sean shook his head helplessly and gestured to Claude not to be nervous about it. Polis shook hands with Claude cautiously and excitedly, then let out a scream.

"It's an honor! It's an honor! I'll keep your things safe for you!"

After speaking, he carried Claude's suitcase and disappeared in place.

Sean spread his hands towards Claude, "House-elves are like this; you will understand in the future. By the way, it's over there."

He pointed to a small door in the corner of the side hall and snapped his fingers. A small note with Claude's name jumped out, and it was wrapped around his finger.

"Go there and change into your robes. This note will lead you to a room for your size. Oh, just put the changed clothes there. House-elves take care of it along with your suitcase in the dormitory later."

"Okay." In a surprise, Claude looked at his fingers, lifted them up, and entered the small room.

Sean turned around and caught the smile on Professor McGonagall's face, "Professor, is this part of the reason why you are a teacher?"

Professor McGonagall nodded, "Looking at the new students, whether they are panicked or curious, always gives me a feeling. I will lead these new seedlings to a bigger world. It's something I'm proud of, and it fascinates me."

Sean nodded in agreement, clapping his hands again, "Anyway, the first student is here. It seems that the rate of their arrival is random. They may have taken a long time to prepare their luggage and say goodbye to their parents."

Professor McGonagall agreed, "Yes, it seems so. It takes a lot of time to prepare the luggage brought by Mr. McKenning. Moreover, they are only eleven years old after all, and the oldest is twelve years old."

"Yes, but later, there should be more and more students."

Sure enough, just as Sean said, when Claude had changed into his robe and stood nervously on one side, two more freshmen were teleported over by the Portkey one after the other. They all had the same expressions on their faces as when Claude first arrived. Sean greeted them as the person in charge of the orientation this time.

Although he was a bit confused as he was not used to it, Sean had some ideas on what to do.

Sean also decided that from now on, he must screen out the new students who are worthy of his attention. 

It's not to dominate Hogwarts, nor is it to organize an army of wizards in the future.

Sean felt that he needed a group of young blood with sufficient strength and the same goal. He doesn't want to change the world, he doesn't want to go to war with anyone, and he doesn't want to rule the world and become the dictator of the world. It's just that Sean wants the world to be better.

He didn't know if his thoughts at this time would change in the future. But Sean knew that if he didn't do it, it would be really too late when he needed it in the future.

In the current world, the Ministry of Magic is almost rotten to the bone. Barty Crouch, who replaced Fudge, was controlled by his own son. After Barty Jr. lost his control, he did not change much. In Sean's view, he is still just a tool for anyone to use.

Moreover, even if he is not a tool, Sean doesn't think he can make any new changes. For example, the top management of the British Ministry of Magic is basically controlled by the Returners.

How can Sean trust such an organization? Would the British Ministry of Magic be better, even if the Returners problem were dealt with soon?

Sean doesn't think so. In addition, the Ministry of Magic and the entire wizarding world, even Hogwarts, have problems. To put it bluntly, in Sean's eyes, the Hogwarts education system also has problems.

In many cases, Hogwarts has preserved the teaching way of an old wizard leading a young wizard in the Middle Ages. Although Hogwarts has undergone many reforms over the years, it was far from enough in Sean's eyes.

But to change all this, he must start with the youngest wizards. Sean has already decided that this orientation is a good opportunity for him to show something to all the new students. Professor McGonagall had explained that he would be in charge of teaching them after they enrolled.

Sean is going to mix some of his own private things into it while teaching the Transfiguration class. It's time for the Golden Dawn to grow stronger.

The freshmen walked into the room one by one under Sean's smile, changed into their robes, and stood in a row awkwardly. As time passed, more and more students came to the side hall, and students also became active due to the increase in their friends.

"Yes, don't worry, there are many rooms inside. My note will tell you where to go. Well, do you have anything?"

A girl pulled Sean's sleeve, "Hello, Mr. Wallup. Mr. Django Ruby, who came to recruit students, asked me to give this to the person in charge of Hogwarts."

"Oh, yes, thank you."
