I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - Chapter 397
c393 Snape’s resentment
The manpower arranged by the Ministry of Magic arrived at Hogwarts the next day.
Those officials once again proved one thing with their actions. The so-called procrastination and bloat is just that they don’t want to do something. Once they decide to do something, the execution rate will be frighteningly high.
For example, in this werewolf incident, 12 Aurors were already stationed outside the Forbidden Forest early in the morning.
“This posture is not only to screen the Forbidden Forest, but also to catch poachers.” Ian stood in front of the window and glanced at the Aurors outside, shaking his head and sighing.
Then he stopped paying attention to these people. He had the biggest meal in the world. Do you expect him to screen the Forbidden Forest with these people without breakfast? Don’t even think about it, Dumbledore won’t help.
After a simple breakfast of a cup of hot milk, two fried eggs and some freshly baked toast, the Hogwarts professors also came to the Forbidden Forest.
There were only two professors from Hogwarts, but in terms of strength, these two together could almost defeat those 12 Aurors.
“Good morning! Professor Flitwick, Professor Snape.” Ian greeted warmly as he walked out the door.
Snape, as cold as ever, just nodded silently to indicate that he had heard.
On the other hand, Professor Flitwick, this little old man seemed much more enthusiastic.
“If you ask me, you shouldn’t just stay in this small house. You know, the cakes in my office are almost piling up…”
Professor Flitwick responded with a smile, while not forgetting to mention his little cake.
“Then I’ll pack them all up and take them away in a minute!” Ian was equally rude.
The little joke brought them closer, and he also felt the care from Professor Flitwick.
Professor Flitwick was talking about eating a small cake, but more importantly, he was complaining that when he discovered the werewolf, he did not go to the office to find him immediately, but chose to stay alone in the cabin outside the castle.
While the two were talking, the leading middle-aged Auror stepped forward.
“Gentlemen! Let’s start work as soon as possible. Finishing early will also allow the children in the castle to play a cheerful Quidditch game.”
This is quite beautifully said, not because I am urging you, but for the sake of the children of the castle. As Hogwarts professors, why don’t you hurry up?
“You’re right! Let’s set off now.” Professor Flitwick nodded.
A group of 15 people, led by Hagrid, formed a fan shape and set off towards the Forbidden Forest.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Ian always felt that Snape was half a body behind.
From the previous interactions, he quickly responded. It seemed that the other party had something to say.
Quietly slowing down his pace, and when Snape caught up, Ian heard a calm whisper in his ear.
“It seems that some people think that I am unqualified as a Potions professor, and have gone to great lengths to contact the previous Potions professor. Also, as my teacher, Slughorn’s level is obvious to all.”
After saying this, Snape passed by Ian without even stopping for a second.
However…this tone was as calm as talking about the weather. But anyone who knew Snape would not mistake this for talking about the weather.
Looking at Snape’s retreating back, Ian was also stunned.
a long time.
“Slughorn…hey, what a tight-lipped person!”
He couldn’t figure it out. It was just to find a tutor for Hermione. Slughorn had to show off this matter, and he also showed it to Snape…
At this point, even though he knew it was Slughorn’s fault, Ian couldn’t do anything about it.
After all, the favors that should be owed are owed, and the person who should be offended has just been offended. If this causes trouble again, it will be a real loss that outweighs the gain.
…
The hours flew by.
In the afternoon, Castle Administrator Filch posted an order from Professor McGonagall:
The ban on entry and exit to the castle was lifted, and Quidditch matches returned to normal, but students who broke into the Forbidden Forest without permission were subject to three months of confinement once discovered.
Especially this last one is really cruel. As long as you have the courage, if you are caught twice, you will basically spend the semester safely in the castle.
“Harry, do you want to go to the Quidditch pitch together?” Ron put an arm around Harry’s shoulder and invited him.
After graduating from Wood last year, Ron finally ushered in his highlight moment and officially became Gryffindor’s new goalkeeper.
It can be regarded as inheriting the tradition of the Weasley family – entering the Quidditch team.
Looking at the enthusiastic Ron, Harry took a step back calmly and politely refused: “No! I have other things to do later, and I will practice with you tomorrow.”
Watching Harry leave, Ron pursed his lips in dissatisfaction and muttered to himself: “It’s been a mysterious day.”
What Ron didn’t see was that after Harry walked out of the common room and walked through two corridors, he stopped in front of another redhead.
“Ginny, I’m sorry I’m late…”
Ginny, who was in third grade, had completely grown up. Looking at the beautiful face in front of him and the faint fragrance coming so close, Harry was a little distraught.
But when I think of the autumn of Ravenclaw, the white moonlight shines in my heart, but it still lingers.
“Well~ I’m Ginny’s friend. It’s okay to be with Ginny, but I still like Qiu…”
While thinking about Qiu, Harry secretly warned himself that dating Ginny was just fulfilling a brother’s responsibility to take care of his sister.
…
Meanwhile, outside the castle.
Compared to the joy of the little wizard, Ian was sitting in the hut depressed at the moment, looking at the thick stack of parchment on the table, and said speechlessly: “Professor, I really don’t have time…”
Faced with this excuse, Snape just looked at the information on the table expressionlessly and said, “Hagrid and I have known each other for almost twenty years!”
The implication is that he had been very clear about the daily work of a gamekeeper twenty years ago.
“Okay… I’ll try my best.” Seeing that he couldn’t shirk it, Ian also accepted the gift, which was a summary of Snape’s research topics.
“This is for you, I think you know what I mean.”
“Of course! I will organize this information carefully and write my own opinions as well as possible.” Faced with Snape’s instructions, Ian fully agreed.
But what he was thinking about was finding some excuse to hand this material to Hermione intact.
It would be the biggest waste to leave a smart and capable female assistant unused.
…
Standing outside the door, looking at Snape who was fooled and walked away, Ian also said sorry in his heart.
It’s not that he has wasted his potion talent, but that in this current situation, he really can’t do research with peace of mind.
Unless Xueni can live in seclusion, he will definitely be affected if he is in the middle of the situation.
“It’s almost there, there are only a few months left…”
With a sigh, Ian turned and returned to the hut, intending to take a look at the information first and understand the results of this period.
Although he had no intention of studying potions, it didn’t mean that he didn’t care. You must know that the potion team, which has always been secretive, is really the main force in dealing with fungi.
Any other means are just expedient measures.
