The Grey Wizard of Hogwarts - Chapter 246
Snape sat behind the desk, resting his chin in one hand, staring at Anton calmly as he told what happened after he entered the time-turner, one by one, one by one, his black eyes as deep as water.
“I can’t figure it out.” An Dong smacked it, slumped on the high-back chair, and looked out the window helplessly.
In the distance, Lupin could be seen returning from the Quidditch pitch with his students, and before he knew it, it was time for get out of class to end.
“Obviously, you forgot the first thing the little wizard did when he came to Hogwarts.” Snape’s magnetic voice dragged a long note, and he gently drew his wand and tapped a distant shelf.
Several cauldrons floated to the experimental table in the middle of the office at the same time, and the processed potion materials in bottles and jars floated onto the cauldrons and fell inside. After a while, flames erupted from under the cauldron.
An Dong was stunned, “The first thing… Branching?”
Snape shook his head, “It seems that you really forgot that the first thing is to take a small boat, row through the cave in the mountain stream, and cross the Black Lake, and finally reach Hogwarts Castle.”
“This…” Anton leaned back tactically, “Isn’t it just to make people remember the hardships of the founder of the school in building the school.”
“It’s not like that.” Snape sighed, stood up and walked to the test bench, waving his wand to let more potion ingredients on the shelf fly over.
He turned his head to stare at Anton. “Actually, it was used to remind us, wizards, that they were forced to the corner of the world by Muggles.”
“Wizards are extremely powerful, and wizards are extremely vulnerable.”
“Our school allows students to take the train to school, on the one hand, to make those Muggle elites who know us think they have control over us, on the other hand, it is also to make them fear through mysterious magic.”
“I can’t tell you the truth of balance here. The only thing you need to know is that the war between Muggles and wizards has never ended.”
“This is also the meaning of the existence of the four colleges. Hufflepuff is tolerant and responsible for accepting new blood from Muggles. The pure blood supremacy pursued by Slytherin is used to warn everyone not to forget that wizards and Muggles are Natural opposition.”
“…”
Anton blinked, “Wizards discriminate against Muggles again?”
Snape nodded lightly, “Human discrimination is created to put wizards and Muggles against each other, so as to completely separate the two worlds of wizards and Muggles. The deep meaning of this is that wizards will not be proud of To learn the Muggle way of doing things.”
“Anton, we’re all from Muggle society, and I know what you’re thinking. But remember, wizards are wizards, and Muggles are Muggles. It’s not interchangeable.”
“Hogwarts is a school of magic, not a Muggle school. If you really want to look at it through Muggle eyes, please think of it as a military camp, oh, a military school, yes, that would be more appropriate to call it. .”
Anton was completely stunned, he frowned, military school?
It’s not a very good analogy, but if you add to the question of why Voldemort must be a professor, a lot of things seem to make sense.
Snape waved his wand and floated several powdered potion ingredients, stirring them well, before throwing a cage of mice into the cauldron.
Before the rat could struggle, the floating powder descended with a strange purple-red flame, completely covering the mouth of the crucible.
As a cloud of green smoke emerged from the cauldron, Snape counted the time and turned to stare at Anton.
“It seems that you can understand what I said, then I will continue.”
“In such a magic school, it is destined that the position of the headmaster must be held by a powerful wizard, otherwise the consequences will become very serious.”
“Powerful wizards can cultivate powerful apprentices, but they cannot guarantee the overall teaching ability of the school. This is the limitation of wizards.”
“This limitation is destined to be irreparable.”
Anton disagreed, “Lockhart did a great job.”
Snape just chuckled and continued to wave his wand, letting some herbs float to the test bench, “Help me deal with it.”
He himself put on dragonskin gloves, pulled out his knife, and began to deal with a cage of toads that had been fed with potions.
“You seem to have forgotten how you were affected by the Confusion Charm.”
Anton was skillfully slicing the stems of the Manai Lung sauerkraut, and suddenly stopped, “You mean?”
Snape nodded, “In the wizarding world, magic is always the most commonly used method. Lockhart can’t handle any magic. As long as someone influences him, he will lead this school to destruction.”
“This is the biggest difference between wizards and Muggles. A simple spell can change everything in an instant.”
“Only the strong can ensure the normal operation of the magic school. You underestimate the role of Dumbledore in this school.”
“At the same time, you don’t have the illusion of Dumbledore and Lockhart running the school together. Magic against the weak is hard to guard against. If Dumbledore wants to tolerate running the school with such a weak person, he can only think about Lockhart every day. It’s almost impossible to be affected or not.”
“That’s it…” Anton pursed his lips, put the cut slices into the bottle, and picked up a bottle of bubbling liquid to soak the grass roots, “It’s a pity.”
“Unfortunately?” Snape sneered.
“You still don’t understand? Weak people don’t deserve to be the principal, because they bring danger. It brings danger to the school, and it brings danger to himself. This is not only a passive problem, but also an active problem.”
“Teaching is not Lockhart’s first priority. He will be watched by all those who care because he is weak but in a high position. At this time, his first priority is to protect himself, and he seeks to protect himself again and again, without stopping. .”
“Like this time.”
Snape poured all the processed blood and Anton’s slicing materials into the crucible, took off his gloves, and stared at him, “You say, what is the only thing Lockhart can do now?”
Anton stared at Snape’s cold eyes, and suddenly he took a breath, “If he wants to survive, he can only seek shelter from the strong, the strong in the school…”
Snape nodded, “Voldemort!”
“Voldemort will surely promise him the position of Headmaster and provide him with shelter.”
“so…”
“There will be this Halloween party.”
Mom~
Shocked me for ten thousand years.
Anton was stunned.
He believed more in Snape’s judgment. First, Old Si had just received his favor and there was no need to fool himself. Second, Snape was a veteran who had experienced the most intense war in the wizard’s first war.
Have enough vision and experience.
He was even thinking, if that’s the case, why did he ask himself to sort out “The Wisdom of Dumbledore”? In order to be the principal in the future? Or to paralyze Dumbledore by himself?
Or, after he told himself to sort it out, he finally couldn’t wait to succumb to Voldemort’s lewd power?
Anton suddenly thought about the night when Earth Demon found him.
Voldemort, who suddenly started to move, would not be too easy if he cast an Imperius Curse on Lockhart. There’s no need to make Lockhart succumb, magic can make him obey.
He is just an ordinary person, why do you want him to understand this, his head hurts!
boom!
Fireworks exploded.
In the school’s auditorium, Lockhart danced in a handsome pink and purple wizard’s robe.
“Thank you parents for your visit, thank you friends from the news media for your visit, thank you to all the caring people in the society…”
“First of all, I want to apologize to everyone.” Lockhart looked at everyone with a smile, “In order to create a good parent-child atmosphere, parents and students have just asked to register and keep their wands at the door, please rest assured, go out later You can pick it up at the door later.”
“Of course, we also have some Muggle parents who don’t know magic. You can get a wand after the meeting, maybe you can give it to the little wizards who will appear in the family in the future.”
“Hahaha, seeing everyone’s satisfied smiles, I, the principal, are also very happy.”
“Allow me to introduce you to a legendary and powerful wizard.”
He raised his hand gracefully and clapped his hands, only to see mysterious magic runes lit up on all the walls, doors, and windows of the auditorium, even on the seats of the teachers.
Then, UU reading www. uukanshu. Under everyone’s stunned gaze, Filch strolled onto the rostrum and gently took off his wizard robe.
He was wearing a casual suit, and he looked like a professor inexplicably.
Filch looked at everyone with a smile, and suddenly his face began to change, eventually turning into a bald head without a nose.
“It’s an honor, I, Voldemort, to be at Hogwarts again.”
boom!
This sentence is simply a deep-sea giant bomb, which exploded a monstrous wave, and everyone was stunned.
Those “social security people” who were sitting in various corners quickly stood up, drew out their wands, and guarded all corners of the auditorium.
With a few sporadic “Remove your weapon”, several parents and little wizards who secretly carried wands were quickly disarmed.
Lockhart smiled brightly, “Are you surprised or surprised?”
“Friends of the press, you will be allowed to use the school’s owl to help announce to the world that our great Dark Lord is back!”
