Chapter 246 The Biggest Difference Between Wizards and Muggles
Snape was sitting behind the desk, resting his chin on one hand, staring at Anton calmly as he told what happened after he entered the Time-Turner, one after another, his black eyes were as deep as water.
"I can't figure it out." Anton smacked, slumped on the high-back chair, and looked out the window helplessly.
From a distance, Lupine could be seen bringing the students back from the Quidditch pitch, and before they 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 drew out his wand lightly, and tapped the distant shelf.
Several crucibles floated onto the experimental table in the middle of the office at the same time, and the processed potion ingredients in bottles and jars floated onto the crucibles and poured inside. After a while, a flame burst out from under the cauldron.
Anton froze for a moment, "First thing... Sorting?"
Snape shook his head, "It seems that you really forgot that the first thing to do is to take a small boat, row through the caves in the mountain stream, and cross the Black Lake before finally arriving at Hogwarts Castle."
"This..." Anton stepped back tactically, "Isn't it just to make people remember the hardships of the founder of the school."
"That's not true." Snape sighed, stood up and walked to the laboratory table, waving his wand to make more potion ingredients fly over from the shelf.
He turned his head and stared at Anton, "Actually, it is used to remind us, wizards, that we were forced to the corner of the world by Muggles."
"Wizards are extremely powerful, and wizards are also extremely fragile."
"Our school lets students come to the school by train. On the one hand, it is to make those Muggle elites who know us think that they have control over us. On the other hand, it is also to make them fearful through mysterious magic."
"The principle of balance here, I can't explain it clearly to you. 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 pays attention to tolerance and is responsible for accepting fresh blood from Muggles. The pure blood supremacy that Slytherin pursues is to remind everyone not to forget that the natural nature of wizards and Muggles opposition."
"..."
Anton blinked, "It's the way wizards discriminate against Muggles again?"
Snape nodded lightly, "Man-made discrimination is used to antagonize wizards and Muggles, thus completely separating the two worlds of wizards and Muggles. The deep meaning of this is that wizards will not To learn from the Muggles."
"Anton, we are all from Muggle society, I know what you think. But please remember, wizards are wizards, Muggles are Muggles, this is not interchangeable."
"Hogwarts is a school of wizardry, not a school for Muggles. If you really want to look at it from the eyes of Muggles, please treat it as a military camp. Oh, military school, yes, it would be more appropriate to use this name .”
Anton was completely stunned, he frowned, military academy?
This is not a very appropriate metaphor, but if you put the above-mentioned things about why Voldemort must be a professor, it seems that many things make sense.
Snape waved his wand, floating and stirring the powders of several potion ingredients, and threw a cage of rats into the cauldron.
Before the mouse 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 rose 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."
"Such a magic school is doomed that the position of principal must be held by a powerful wizard, otherwise the consequences will become very serious."
"A powerful wizard can cultivate a powerful apprentice, but it 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, causing some herbs to float to the laboratory table, "Help me deal with it."
He donned dragonskin gloves himself, drew his knife, and began disposing of a cage of potion-fed toads.
"You seem to have forgotten how you were affected by the Confusion Curse."
Anton was skillfully slicing the stalks of Manai dragon's beard, when he 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 exerts influence on 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."
"The strong can guarantee the normal operation of the magic school. You underestimate Dumbledore's role in this school too much."
"At the same time, you don't have the illusion that Dumbledore and Lockhart manage the school together. The magic against the weak is hard to guard against. If Dumbledore wants to tolerate managing the school with such a weak person, he can only think about it every day. It's almost impossible to be affected."
"That's it..." Anton pursed his lips, put the sliced pieces into a bottle, picked up a bottle of bubbling liquid medicine, and soaked the grass roots, "It's a pity."
"Unfortunately?" Snape sneered.
"You still don't understand? A weak person is not worthy of being a principal, because it will bring danger. It will bring danger to the school and to himself. This is not just a passive issue, but also an active issue."
"Teaching is not Lockhart's first priority. He will be targeted by all interested people because he is weak but occupies a high position. At this time, his first priority is to protect himself, and he seeks to protect himself again and again without stopping. .”
"For example this time."
Snape poured all the processed blood and Anton's sliced materials into the cauldron, took off his gloves, and stared at him, "What do you think is the only thing Lockhart can do now?"
Anton stared at Snape's cold eyes, and suddenly took a deep breath, "If he wants to survive, he can only seek shelter from the strong, the strong in the school..."
Snape nodded, "Voldemort!"
"Voldemort will certainly promise him the position of headmaster and provide him with shelter."
"so……"
"That's why there's this Halloween party."
Mom~
Shocked me for ten thousand years.
Anton was stunned.
He believed in Snape's judgment. First of all, the old man had just received his favor and there was no need to fool himself. Secondly, Snape was a veteran who had experienced the most intense level of the wizard's first war.
Have enough vision and experience.
He even thought, in that case, why did he ask himself to sort out "Dumbledore's Wisdom"? In order to be a legitimate principal in the future? Or to paralyze Dumbledore by himself?
Or, after he told himself to tidy up, he finally couldn't wait to succumb to Voldemort's despotic power?
Anton suddenly remembered the night when Voldemort found him.
Voldemort, who suddenly started to move, would not be too easy if he cast the Imperius Curse on Lockhart. There is no need to make Lockhart submit, magic can make him obedient.
He is just an ordinary person, why make him understand this, his head hurts!
boom!
The fireworks exploded.
In the school auditorium, Lockhart danced in a handsome pink and purple wizard robe.
"Thank you parents for visiting, thank you friends from the news media for coming, and thank you caring people in 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 save their wands at the door, please rest assured, go out later Then you can pick it up at the door.”
"Of course, we also have some Muggle parents who don't know magic. You can get a wand after the meeting. Maybe you can use it as a gift to the little wizards who will appear in the family in the future."
"Hahaha, seeing everyone's satisfied smiles, I, the principal, am also very happy."
"Allow me to introduce you to a legendary and powerful wizard."
He gracefully raised his hands and clapped them, only to see that all the walls, doors, and windows of the auditorium were lit up with mysterious magic runes, even on the seats of the teachers.
Then, under everyone's stunned gaze, Filch walked up to the rostrum and gently took off his wizard robe.
He was wearing a casual suit, and he looked inexplicably majestic like a professor.
Filch smiled at everyone, and suddenly his face began to change, eventually turning into a bald head without a nose.
"It is an honor that I, Voldemort, have come to Hogwarts again."
boom!
This sentence was like a huge bomb in the deep sea, and it exploded into waves, everyone was stunned.
Those 'social peace of mind' sitting in every corner stood up quickly, drew out their wands, and guarded every corner of the auditorium.
With a few sporadic "Disarm you", several parents and little wizards who were secretly carrying wands were quickly disarmed.
Lockhart smiled extraordinarily brightly, "Are you surprised, are you surprised?"
"My fellow journalists, you will be allowed to use the school's owl to help announce to the world—our great Dark Lord is back!"
There is another chapter that was posted at 4 pm. I feel that the writing is not satisfactory. I need to revise or rewrite it, but it is too late now.
