The white haired man stood up, making everyone's little conversations slowly die down.
I felt some sort of comfort when Dumbledore started talking. Of course, the big meal I just ate had something to do with that, but he looked calm. Which is a lot different than you'd expect any other head master while his world is in threat because of a dark wizard who just returned from the dead.
If he was worried about any of that, he didn't show it, probably not wanting to cause a mass panic.
I guess he was like me in some way. A lot of times I had a storm going inside me, while I hadn't shown anything on the outside. Nobody ever suspected a thing. Although I wish they did.
"... The forest is out of limits to all students- and a few of our older students need a reminder." He said while smiling at someone a little further from me. I followed his gaze and landed on my brother.
Of course. Just like our dad. I've heard so many stories about my parents and from what I can understand so far, Harry is James with Lilly's eyes. But it's nice to know I'll have someone reminding me of my parents, or introducing me to them, as I've never actually met them.
"Our caretaker, Mr filch, has asked to remind you for the 527th time that practicing magic in the halls between classes is not permitted, and nor are a number of other things, all of which are written in a list taped to filch's office door."
Wow the caretaker sounds strict here! Everyone at my old school was so calm and barely broke the rules.
"We have a few changes in our staff this year! First, professor Grubbly-plank will be teaching care of magical creatures lessons again!" Everybody in the room clapped excitedly and I looked at professor Grubbly-plank. She looked tough, but also kind.
"Next, we are delighted to introduce our new defense against the dark arts teacher, professor Umbridge!"
There were a few polite claps. I looked at her as she stood up for some reason. She looked like a very large, pink, toad. Who in their sane mind would let her be with children?
"Quidditch tryouts will take place on-" Dumbledore tried to continue as the toad cut him off.
"Hem hem." Dumbledore looked a bit taken back, but he let her talk.
"Thank you headmaster." McGonagall shot Dumbledore a confused look, but he shushed her.
"For the kind words of welcome. Well it is lovely to be back at hogwarts!"
Her voice was nothing like I imagined it to be. I thought her voice would be deeper, but instead it was a high pitch, childish voice. This is going to be a long year.
"I'm very much looking forward to getting to know all of you and I'm sure we will be very good friends!"
I laughed and she shot me a look. Oh no. The school year JUST started and I'm already on the bad side of one of the teachers.
"The ministry of magic always thought the education of young wizards and witches to be a great priority."
So that's why she's here. No sensible person would hire her as a teacher. She's a mole from the ministry. I read the daily prophet, and I see how much they make jokes at my brother. She must be here to spy after him, trying to find more ways for the prophet to make fun of him.
She kept rambling on and on about how we need to move forward with the education system, while keeping old traditions. Professor Umbridge talked about all sorts of shit, and all I could think about is how much the ministry is trying to interfere with hogwarts. Don't they think Dumbledore can teach us well by himself?
Of course not. To them he's just an old, forgetful, lunatic. I'm guessing the ministry wants someone to keep an eye out for any suspicious thing that professor Dumbledore does and call him out on it.
"Thank you very much, professor Umbridge, that was, um.. illuminating." Dumbledore said, shaking me out of my thoughts.
He finished talking and we were finally able to leave. Or so I thought.
Right as I was standing up, I saw professor McGonagall approaching me.
"Hello dear. I must take a bit of your time to clarify a few last things." She said.
I walked with her towards an office which was blocked by two gargoyles. "This is professor Dumbledore's office. We will talk to him right now and professor flitwick, which is the head of your house, will be here in a few minutes." I nodded politely and listened to her telling the statues "Liquorice Wands" and the gargoyles moved to the side. We went up the flight of stairs and reached a big wooden door.
