Chapter 47: Another Opening Ceremony

"Hey, Professor Lockhart, why are you suddenly silent?" Professor Trelawney was listening to Lockhart's adventures with fascination. Suddenly, she stopped listening and naturally urged for more.

Lockhart avoided Chen Bin's sight unnaturally, showing his eight-toothed smile and said, "I have a stomachache, so I won't talk anymore."

Chen Bin took back his words. If he could calm down, he would force him to eat shit.

After a while, Snape left his seat, walked to the corridor outside the restaurant and closed the door.

Chen Bin knew that Harry and Ron should have arrived. Snape always took care of Harry in his unique way, but Chen Bin couldn't accept this twisted feeling.

After a while, Snape turned back and left the restaurant with Professor McGonagall. Chen Bin wanted to gossip, but he was afraid that Professor McGonagall would get angry and scold him, so he gave up.

After a while, even Dumbledore left the teacher's seat, and this time Chen Bin spoke. "Professor, I'll go with you."

"Don't just want to watch the show all day, sit down." Dumbledore rolled his eyes at him and left the principal's seat under everyone's gaze.

Chen Bin shrugged and sat in a daze.

Except for the missing diary, there was no change for the time being. Ginny and the little fan with a camera were still assigned to Gryffindor, Luna was still assigned to Ravenclaw, and the other freshmen were unknown to Chen Bin, so he could only watch the students in the audience to kill time.

More than ten minutes later, the three professors also came back.

Dumbledore introduced the new "Defense Against the Dark Arts" professor, which attracted polarized voices. Female students cheered and even screamed, and male students rolled their eyes. As for the introduction of Chen Bin, the whole audience cheered, only Professor Trelawney rolled his eyes to the moon.

Chen Bin still has self-knowledge. His magic skills are still at the level of N.E.W.T.s full A, but none of his subjects have reached the level of submitting to academic journals. Unless the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is replaced every year and no one wants to take the position, the school can no longer be picky about the level of teachers, otherwise the academic circle of the magic world still cares about the number of citations of professors' papers.

What is Chen Bin's current level? If submitting to any weekly magazine can be considered an achievement, he will immediately publish the twelve methods of using fluorescent flashes in The Quibbler!

For the top achievements, silent firing without a wand is not a new discovery, and he only knows four or five of them, and the power is much worse than when he held a wand. No academic journal needs his experience.

Therefore, Chen Bin bowed awkwardly but politely, smiled and said nothing.

Dumbledore smiled and said with satisfaction: "Everyone, in addition to co-teaching Divination with Professor Trelawney, Professor Namar will also be responsible for the extracurricular activities class added this year. As you have seen, the new teaching building near the lake is his extracurricular activity classroom. He will also be a professor of extracurricular activities in the future. Details will be displayed on the notice board of the new teaching building tomorrow."

After a pause, he saw that the students were still maintaining discipline, and then he continued: "Due to the addition of club activities in the evening, the original curfew time will be postponed to 11 pm."

The students finally cheered, and both the top students and the poor students hated the curfew time set since the Middle Ages.

Now, Old Dumbledore finally listened to Chen Bin's advice and let the students sleep from 11 pm to 8 am the next day, which is exactly eight hours, and there is an hour to wash, change clothes, and eat.

Until the end of the welcome party, Harry and Ron did not come back, and Chen Bin did not wait for them and went directly to the professor's dormitory in the new teaching building.

The new teaching building is actually a two-story house. The exterior is still a castle-style spire building, but the interior is very large and must have been blessed by the traceless extension spell.

This was done by Isabel herself. It took three days to bless the entire building with such a huge space bit by bit. Apart from her, no one in modern times may have such a huge magic power to complete it alone.

There are ten spacious activity rooms inside the house, and there are also male and female toilets on each floor. The unopened area is Chen Bin’s extracurricular activity room and professor’s dormitory. The area is not smaller than the activity room. It is also divided into a living room, dining room, study, bedroom, bathroom, toilet and kitchen, as well as two rooms for chores.

That’s right, Chen Bin spent his own money to build his own house in the school, so of course he had to build his living area to perfection.

This building brings together the most advanced enchantment and alchemy results in the workshop, and all the most expensive defense arrays, access control magic arrays, and blind-angle surveillance in each room and outside the building are used.

The second largest expense was spent on the study, which had a magic circle that prohibited the influence of magic, allowing Chen Bin to use electronic products, but forget about things that require signals or the Internet. It was still possible to use a computer to check the data in the hard drive and play stand-alone games.

Soon after Chen Bin came to the living room, the door was knocked.

Opening the door, the visitors were Anastasia and Dmitri from next door. They were the two oldest members of the younger generation of the Dubrovsky family. The eldest sister was 25 years old and the fourth brother was 22 years old. The two also made an unbreakable oath to the Nama family to become family guards.

Nama Castle was under the Fidelius Curse, and of course they didn't want outsiders to live in it, so the Dubrovsky members who came to take refuge were also arranged to other residences, and they only needed to protect the family industry on weekdays.

Chen Bin will become a professor this year, so he told Dumbledore that he would recruit two assistants without spending a penny on Hogwarts. Then, they showed up tonight.

After bringing the two of them in, Chen Bin walked into the kitchen, opened the magic refrigerator, and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"I want Ukrainian food," Anastasia replied.

"Okay, let's eat Western food." Chen Bin took out the ingredients and prepared to cook.

Anastasia came over and said dissatisfied: "If you can't do it, don't ask. Get out of the way and let me do it."

Chen Bin walked out of the kitchen and shrugged to Dmitri.

"The rice cooked by eldest sister is the most delicious, you are in for a treat." Dmitri arranged the tableware and opened a bottle of red wine.

After a full meal, Dmitri washed the dishes consciously, leaving Anastasia and Chen Bin to drink together.

"I wonder if you really asked us to come here as assistants, right?" Anastasia was a little drunk and said with a blush on her face: "What do you want us to do for you?"

Chen Bin rolled his eyes at him and said disdainfully: "If you swear an oath not to break, I can pass on the family martial arts to you and let you teach the other guards."

After a pause, he said seriously: "After you learn it, I think every guard will also learn the basic skills. At least they will be able to protect themselves when Voldemort comes back."

The two of them had also been coveting Chen Bin's movement skills for a long time, so of course they agreed. Then, this night became a night they would never forget.

"I won't practice anymore!"

"Ping ping ping ping——boom!"

"I won't learn anymore!"

"You have sworn an oath and cannot go back on it! Wahahahaha——"

The next day, Chen Bin felt refreshed and went for morning exercises along the lake, guessing that the two of them would still be in pain and unable to move today.

While having breakfast in the dining room, Mrs. Weasley's shouting letter arrived as expected, which made Ron unable to hold his head up. Chen Bin saw the gracious expression on Hermione's face and knew that she was still angry with Harry and Ron.

After Chen Bin had a quick breakfast, he immediately set off to prepare for his first class.
