Chapter 15: “Professor Trelawney’s Prophecy”

Previously, since he was facing other students, Sean just glanced at the teacher’s desk roughly. Now that the sorting ceremony was coming to an end, he finally had time to take a good look.

Unexpectedly, just as he raised his head, he met a pair of bright lake-blue eyes. Sean recognized the person’s identity immediately because he already had four of each other’s chocolate frog pictures.

Albus Dumbledore.The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.

The sudden look from him made Sean panic involuntarily. Because he may be the strongest wizard in the world today. Sean still showed an impeccable and elegant smile and nodded slightly to show his respect.

Dumbledore’s eyes under his glasses contained a gentle smile. He raised his glass to give a gesture and then looked away.

Sean breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although many people had mixed opinions on the old man, in Sean’s opinion, he would not use Legilimency on him at will.

After the last student was assigned to Slytherin, the long sorting ceremony finally ended. Seeing Dumbledore stand up, Sean quickly opened the panel and entered the lottery page.

He stared at Dumbledore like the other students. Dumbledore stood up from the golden chair with a smile on his face, and he stretched out his arms as if nothing would make him happier than seeing new faces in Hogwarts.

“Welcome to Hogwarts, first-year students! Before the banquet starts, I want to say a few words.”

At the same time, Sean stared at him with a smile on his face and immediately gave an order in his heart.

*Fifty draws*

The brilliant light flashed, and Sean immediately discovered the dazzling golden light.

“I thank you, everyone.” Dumbledore laughed and sat down amid the applause of everyone.

Sean also applauded lightly. If it weren’t for his family’s etiquette lesson, he would have liked to stand up and whistle like the Weasley twins.

“That’s our Transfiguration Teacher, Professor Minerva McGonagall. She’s the head of Gryffindor’s house. I advise you not to mess or do anything mischievous in front of her.”

After introducing several other teachers, only a somewhat bald old man was left on the long table.

“That’s the head of Slytherin house, our potions teacher, Professor Horace Slughorn. Well, he’s known to have a bad reputation. You’ll find out after you take his class.”

Sean thought that Snape should teach the potions class.

However, Cotton continued, “But he’s only been on the job for four years at Hogwarts. Before that was, wait, what was that teacher’s name? Professor Snape?” Cotton looked thoughtful, “It should be that him. According to the seniors, his reputation is worse than Professor Slughorn’s.”

Sean showed an interested expression, “Wait, what happened?”

Cotton shrugged, “I don’t know either. But last year, Professor Trelawney made a prophecy, and I don’t know how it transpired, but she said that Professor Snape might be coming back, and many students were worried.”

Returning? Sean gave a smile, which was interesting.

After the introduction, Cotton waved his hand, “Alright, now it’s time for us to enjoy the food.”

Sean turned his head and found that there were many delicious dishes on the table. Roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, salami, steak, boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, chips, Yorkshire pudding, carrots, gravy, ketchup, and for some odd reason, Peppermint candy.

It looks good. Sean avoided the black pudding in front of him and grabbed a steak. Although this is called pudding, it’s blood sausage with minced meat added. It tastes really weird.

Sean ate his dinner while maintaining his etiquette on the table. The sorting ceremony took too long, and he was starving.

During this period, the others ate the food pile before him. Sean met the eyes of another student. It was a student with long, bright silver hair and gold-rimmed glasses.

The small third-year senior was watching him calmly.
