A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 12: Undecrypted conversation

Back to an hour ago.

Snape strode into the headmaster's office, his face tense, but it was not hard to see that he was very annoyed at the moment.

"Principal! Principal Dumbledore!"

Dumbledore looked up from the table, "Ah~ Severus, what do you want?"

Snape stood in front of him, he didn't sit down, but kicked away the obstructing stool, and there was a table between them, he asked angrily: "You recruited Felix Hemp Teaching in school? What do you think!"

Dumbledore put down the book at hand, "Severus, I don't see any problem, Mr. Hape is very good, his talent has been recognized by the magic world, of course, including me."

Snape was quite impatient: "I didn't say he was not capable enough! I have taught him before, and I know what kind of person he is."

"Indeed, you once commented on him, 'a standard Slytherin' - a very high rating." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Snape's face was ugly, "I didn't mean to compliment him"——it was a sarcasm.

Dumbledore nodded, "We all have a certain understanding of Mr. Hape, and I know what you are worried about. Since he is going to teach at Hogwarts, this question is worth our time. Let's sit down Come down and talk slowly." He waved his hand and called the stool back.

Snape sat down stiffly, as if instead of a cushion under his buttocks, there was a fire-breathing dragon.

"Pumpkin juice? Tea? Or a cup of butterbeer?" asked Dumbledore, and with each word a cup appeared out of thin air.

"I don't need it." Snape was very embarrassed.

"Then a cup of tea, Mr. Hape likes it very much." Dumbledore put a cup of tea in front of Snape.

However, looking at Snape's appearance, he seemed to have swallowed a fly.

Dumbledore said gently: "Let's talk about it. I used to have some misunderstandings about Mr. Hape, but as he grew up, my opinion of him also changed. Until recently, I had an in-depth exchange with him, and I finally made up my mind to hire him."

"I think you're getting old." Snape sneered.

"Although I am getting older, I have become more sober these years. We are always more likely to make mistakes when we are young, aren't we?"

Snape snorted, and then said: "That boy Felix is ​​not a good person, he relied on his own strength to do whatever he wanted in school, and caused so much trouble!"

"Do you know how I came here in those years? Because of him, I almost knew half of the pure-blood families in England!"

"I get complaints from them almost every day!"

Dumbledore seemed to smile, but he quickly swallowed a mouthful of pumpkin juice. He agreed: "It is true that Mr. Haipu was crazy about power when he was in the lower grades, but we all know that there is a reason for this, isn't it?"

Snape pursed his lips and said nothing.

Of course he knew that Felix was in a bad situation at that time, even worse than his own back then, at least his enemies did not come from his academy.

Dumbledore said calmly: "Minerva once complained to me that the Sorting Hat couldn't accurately sort students into the proper houses. She always thought that Mr. Hemp should go to Gryffindor. What do you think? ?”

"That kid is a standard Slytherin." Snape said the same thing as before in a mocking tone.

"I agree with that." Dumbledore nodded, "Mr. Hape...he is an outstanding wizard, extremely outstanding, one of the most gifted people I have ever met in my life. He has always I can clearly see that he is pursuing power, even though he rarely showed it after the fifth grade, he never stopped chasing power.”

"Even after graduation, this is what I was most worried about."

Snape listened quietly, he did not deny Dumbledore's wisdom, the old man's experience was legendary, he planned to listen first, what made him change his mind.

"He applied to stay in school when he graduated. Frankly speaking, his ability is completely sufficient. Even in the subject of Charms, he is better than me. But I still refused, not only because he was too Young, and the ambition that cannot be hidden in his eyes, I am afraid that he will go astray."

"Fortunately, he followed my advice. After the first year of traveling, he settled in the Muggle world and began to study Muggles. It was also at this time that he and I kept exchanging letters. "

Snape listened quietly, he did not expect such an experience between the two of them. You know, his eyes nearly popped out when he knew Felix had become an expert on Muggle studies!

"Maybe he's faking it," Snape said reluctantly.

"No, no, Severus," Dumbledore retorted, "I can still read people's hearts. Living a long life has these advantages. Even without magic, I can know the thoughts of most people."

"From the time he entered school to the present ~IndoMTL.com~ he has not expressed any discrimination against Muggles. On the contrary, he has studied the Muggle world very deeply, which is clearly evidenced in his books. He does not He does not think that wizards are superior, on the contrary, he is constantly drawing wisdom from the Muggle world."

Snape retorted: "I didn't say he discriminated against Muggles, Dumbledore! But his thinking is equally dangerous, you know what he said in the book "How Muggles Think"?"

As if he was endorsing it, he quickly said a paragraph: "The theory of blood is also prevalent in the Muggle world, but unlike the magic world, more and more Muggle countries are abandoning this theory, thanks to Their production efficiency is hundreds of times higher than before. Sufficient materials have laid a solid foundation for them to promote education, and those civilians who do not have good blood have shown extremely exaggerated potential, making the Muggle world The speed of development is like riding on a broom."

Seeing that Dumbledore wanted to interrupt, Snape continued to recite a paragraph regardless: "In the Muggle world, if the proportion of nobles is one, then the proportion of commoners exceeds ten thousand. After the rulers liberated the civilians, their development efficiency smashed through all obstacles with unstoppable force!"

The entire principal's office fell silent.

Even the portraits of the principals who were listening on one side grew their mouths. These words did not seem to mention the magic world, but simply introduced and analyzed the development process of the Muggle world, but they alluded to the current magic world everywhere. .

One of the portraits was filled with righteous indignation and shouted loudly: "This is a betrayal! A betrayal of pure blood glory!"

The other portraits also started chirping.

Snape glanced at the portrait and mocked: "Principal Black, that kid is not pure blood!"
