NOVEL NEXT Chapter 15: The disappeared dean
Chapter 15 The Disappeared Dean
If you tell Hefpaff a secret without asking you to keep it, then the secret will soon spread throughout Hogwarts, or even outside the academy.
Rumors spread very quickly in places where there are many girls. Professor Minerva McGonagall was originally Dumbledore’s assistant. Later, she taught a part-time magical animal class. After Dumbledore became the principal, she became the Gryffindor Academy. Long and Transfiguration teacher, currently Silvanus Keitelborn is in charge of the magical animals class.
"My brother said that Dumbledore has been trying to get Hagrid to take over this position, but the people at the Ministry have been reluctant to agree. They said he was a brutal giant." On the way to the cellar after class, Susan said she knew. In the gossip, I still don’t forget to mix my own opinions. "It’s the people from the Ministry of Magic who are afraid that Dumbledore controls the entire Hogwarts. Who is more involved in Hogwarts than Hagrid? Creatures in the forest are better off."
"Where is our dean?" Mary asked.
"He? Maybe I forgot the time of school." Susan gathered her short hair like a boy. "He and Newt are classmates and like to travel around. Sometimes Professor Grapland will let his daughter take the place of lessons. She is about the same age as us and speaks very well."
"What are you doing, Pomona?" Jenny couldn't help but ask when she saw her strange behavior.
"Pray." Pomona folded her hands.
"What to pray for?"
"Pray for someone not to appear in the potions classroom."
The girls glanced at each other. After class, most of the groups in the hallway were people from the same dormitory. If Pomona didn’t go out so early, she should act with Mary and the others. As a result, she was alone and almost got caught. Slytherin and Ravenclaw who were okay to find fault stopped them.
There is a protection period for freshmen, otherwise she has been taught by Ravenclaw’s senior students before. Similarly, Ravenclaw’s Kitty was caught by Hefpaff’s senior sister and would be taught. Ask why? Ask the boys in Gryffindor and Slytherin why they dislike each other.
Boys fighting in groups are forbidden, so Quidditch has become another form of battlefield. The fact that the Slytherin girl bullied a Hefpaff girl made the entire Hefpaff college angry. Fupaf will not risk the penalty of points like Gryffindor does it in open fire, they will teach Slytherin a showdown on the Quidditch court.
The score is not important. The important thing is to get a few people into the infirmary. If the dean is there, the boys will not be so impulsive. Unfortunately, Dorian is not there. God knows if he can come back before the violence escalates.
Witches were hunted in the Middle Ages, and Pomona didn’t think that Muggles were weak people who needed the sympathy of wizards. If you don’t look at magic power and just look at the means of playing power, wizards are not necessarily Muggle opponents. In terms of calculating people, wizards and Muggles have the same intelligence. Even the cunning Slytherin is not necessarily the opponent of Muggle politicians. . Some people believe that in addition to witch hunting in the 14th and 15th centuries, there was a war between wizards and Muggles. As a result, Muggles won. Later they began to restrict wizards through the Ministry of Magic. The magical creatures brought into the Muggle world must report this incident to the Muggle Prime Minister. Newt did so without reporting.
"I'm so sorry." Eddie Water flushed, and was so embarrassed that he walked down the Gryffindor Tower surrounded by the boys in the same dormitory.
"Don't worry, everyone has a time of hyperacidity." His roommate comforted him, but Pomona thought it was a white lie.
Eddie Water will be a laughingstock. He was the talk of the whole Hogwarts before the other "fun" happened. A Muggle species actually vomited after watching Animagus. Fortunately, Eddie was assigned to the highest point. Fupaf, there are still people who are willing to act with him, and they are already far away from him when they are replaced by other colleges. As for Slytherin, maybe he still has time to quit school now.
"I bet that those crows will spread the story of Water to the whole campus." Susan said angrily, and the crows she was talking about were naturally Ravenclaw's students.
"Maybe worse, don't forget that they wrote the history of magic." Mary was absent-mindedly fanning the flames.
This is the benefit of power. When you want to distort a fact, there will always be a group of "smart people" to help.
To be fair, Ravenclaw also has Muggle students. Like Eddy Water, they saw the transformation of Animagus for the first time, but none of them vomited, but she is now a Hefpaff girl. Ravenclaw's girls would not thank her for speaking up for them, so Pomona did not stop the malicious slander from her roommates.
"Did you find out? Most of the professors who work at Hogwarts are single. At least they are not in the same school as Professor Grapland. Hogwarts is very large and there are definitely enough rooms for the professors. My own family, but even Professor Slughorn lives alone in the school. Is this a rule that has only existed since Dumbledore or is it like this in ancient times?" Jenny changed the subject in a low voice.
"A person who is alone for a long time will place his feelings on other things. That's the case with the ladies who keep cats. Maybe Dumbledore hopes that the teachers can care for the students in the Fourth Academy as if they care for their own children." Mary said with a smile.
"Oh, I don't love Ravenclaw's crow like my own daughter, are you right Medusa." Susan answered immediately, with a tabby cat in her arms, the way she held it It's like a baby in my arms.
A very simple rule. The knowledge and experience discovered by the predecessors need to be passed on by future generations. The school is such a place to connect the past and the future. If there are no students to go to school, it is useless to have a teacher. Hefpaff girls think that having children is absolutely a matter of life and death for wizards, especially in this era of frequent wizards ruling Muggles and destroying Muggle dictators. How many Muggles are there in the world, one billion or two? Billion? The world’s wizarding population has broken through to millions. Why do the few rule the majority? You know, although the wand is very powerful, Muggle bullets are as deadly as bombs.
Family is necessarily composed of men and women, and smart people often find it difficult to trust others.
Even if a child is born, if there is no wise teacher and people who dare to expand knowledge, knowledge cannot be updated, and human beings will stop moving forward. Ravenclaw represents the elemental air, which floats on the earth. Purely free, they and Hefpaff have a different focus on things. This kind of contradiction cannot be adjusted, so the girls in the two schools are natural rivals.
Taking classes with Slytherin is not much better than taking classes with Ravenclaw. It is not a short distance from the Gryffindor Tower to the cellar. The first class of Slytherin and the flight on Gryffindor Class, their lounge is near the potions classroom, and they even have time to put the brooms back in the lounge. When Hefpaff came to the cellar, the Slytherin freshmen were already sitting "elegantly". What kind of adjective to describe the situation at this moment? It's like a badger broke into a snake's den. Either you die or I live!
"Come on to your place." A senior Slytherin student yelled at the Hefpuffs from the podium holding a book.
"Where is the professor?" Mary hurriedly found a place to sit down, and Pomona looked around. She didn't notice Severus Snape.
The prayer did not make her happy, she put "Magic Potion and Potion" and a feather pen on the desk with no expression.
"Did you see? He is our teacher." Pomona motioned to Mary to look at the senior Slytherin student with an impatient face. "We are not qualified to teach by Professor Slughorn."
Mary’s face collapsed and her whole body was full of anger.
"The salary paid by the school is not to make him lazy."
"Of course he is not lazy, I guess he is teaching his favorite students now." Pomona was somewhat distracted, the big belly professor is really partial.
"Who?" Mary asked.
"You will know soon." After Pomona finished speaking, the classroom quickly quieted down, and the new course began again.
