Just as Wentworth and Cedric were whispering, the Sorting Ceremony finally ended, which made Professor McGonagall, who had been standing next to the Sorting Hat, breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, there is only one Wentworth.

Then, Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, who was hailed as the greatest white wizard of this era, stood up and tapped the glass in front of him gently with the spoon in his hand.

The entire Hogwarts Great Hall fell silent in an instant, and everyone's eyes were on Dumbledore. This scene made Wentworth sigh inwardly, this was Dumbledore's reputation!

Not because he was the headmaster, just because he was Dumbledore.

Dumbledore smiled kindly and said to the students below: "Welcome everyone to Hogwarts. Before the new semester begins, I have to say a few words as usual. They are: idiots, crybabies, dregs, and twists! Okay, thank you everyone! Let's eat!"

The old students seemed to have gotten used to it, but the freshmen like Wentworth were stunned. They didn't expect that what Dumbledore said about "speaking a few words" was actually a real number!

As for the words Dumbledore said, "idiot", "crybaby", "scumbag", "twist", Wentworth had read many online analyses in his previous life, but there was still no answer that was completely convincing as to what they really meant.

Well, it seems that I should find an opportunity to ask Dumbledore in person! Wentworth thought.

As the banquet began, many delicious foods suddenly appeared on the long tables of the four colleges. They really appeared out of thin air. Wentworth even heard the exclamations of the freshmen.

"The kitchen is below the Great Hall. After the house-elves prepare the food, they place it below and wait for the order to start eating. Then the food will be sent up by magic."

Cedric explained to Wentworth.

Although Wentworth already knew all this, he still said to Cedric: "Wow, what a magical school, I love it here! So, it was such a wise decision for me to choose Hufflepuff! Also, Cedric, you know a lot, please guide me in the future!"

I'll count on you for my future homework! Wentworth swallowed back the words he wanted to say most.

"No problem, Wentworth, we're friends, aren't we?!"

The two smiled at each other, then turned their attention back to the dining table.

In this short time, Wentworth discovered that half of the food on the table in front of him had been eaten! While the two were talking, the other Hufflepuffs did not stop eating. Looking up, almost everyone was working hard with their heads down. Before they could put the food in their hands into their mouths, their eyes were already on the next plate.

I have to say, Hufflepuff is really a simple and honest academy! Even on the Hufflepuff table, the Hufflepuff seniors with prefect brooches were busy with their own things.

You know, Wentworth heard that the Slytherins not far away, led by the prefects, had already begun to introduce themselves to each other, and the introductions were quite ancient Greek in style.

Just like what Achilles said when he introduced himself: I, Achilles, son of the hero Peleus!

The introductions at the Slytherin table had the same flavor.

Wentworth heard Cassandra saying: My name is Cassandra, and my father is the head of the Auror Office of the British Ministry of Magic!

Then, there was applause from the Slytherin table.

Just as Wentworth was lamenting that Hufflepuff was unworthy of the flat-headed fox chosen by the founder of the house as the representative animal, a head suddenly popped out from the table.

Then, the entire auditorium was filled with screams of freshmen.

"Hello, Mr. Ghost!"

Wentworth greeted the head that suddenly appeared very politely.

"Oh, there are very few Hufflepuff freshmen who are not scared by us. Usually, only Gryffindor freshmen will subconsciously throw the chicken claws in their hands at us, while Hufflepuff freshmen usually just scream!"

"This is our house ghost, the Fat Friar. And this is our new Hufflepuff student, Wentworth."

Cedric introduced to Wentworth and the fat monk.

"What a handsome boy, as handsome as you, Cedric. You must take good care of him. We, Hufflepuff, are the most united house."

The fat monk looked at Wentworth and said with a smile.

After receiving an affirmative reply from Cedric, the fat monk went back to greeting other Hufflepuff students.

Seeing the fat monk leave, Wentworth thought that he could finally eat something in peace.

But when Wentworth turned his eyes back to the table, he saw only a mess! Although there was still some food left, such as the chicken legs in front of him, there were still several left, but when he saw the inexplicable sauce that someone had poured on the chicken legs, Wentworth lost his appetite.

"Why, is it not to your liking? I haven't touched this steak yet. I ate too much on the way here. I really can't eat any more. If you don't mind..."

Cedric had just said half of his words when he was hugged by Wentworth.

"Woo woo, Cedric you're so nice, I won't be polite then!"

While eating steak, Wentworth was thinking about how to repay Cedric for the meal. Suddenly, a dish that all the Chinese in his previous life could cook and love appeared in Wentworth's mind, and Wentworth couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, Dumbledore in front stood up again.

"Everyone, please allow me to introduce you to a new professor!"

As he spoke, Dumbledore stretched out his hand and gestured to Ilona beside him.

"Professor Ilona will be our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher for the new semester at Hogwarts!"

Ilona also stood up and said to the students:

"Hello everyone, my name is Ilona, ​​and I will be your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in the new semester. I am very happy to come to Hogwarts. On the way here, I have already felt the enthusiasm of Hogwarts students. I am looking forward to you appearing in my class in the new semester!"

After Ilona sat down, there was welcoming applause from the students, as well as a lot of whispers.

"I hope nothing happens to Teacher Ilona."

Wentworth heard Cedric mutter to the side.

After Ilona sat down, Dumbledore glanced around the hall and said with a smile:

"I think everyone has almost finished eating, so, let's move on to the next step!"

With a snap of Dumbledore's fingers, the mess on the table disappeared, replaced by countless desserts of various kinds.

"In fact, I'm most looking forward to this moment during the opening dinner!"

Dumbledore stood there and said with a smile.
