Professor Dumbledore Welcomes the Students

PAGES: 208-210

Albus Dumbledore delivers a brief, jovial welcome to the students before the Start-of-Term Feast begins. The students tuck into the meal, and Nearly Headless Nick discusses the Sorting Hat's previous warnings during times of danger. Ron Weasley is more focused on the food and engages in a small disagreement with Nearly Headless Nick over the dangers facing Hogwarts.
