Chapter 47: Alumni better not to be colleagues
When William withdrew his attention from the frightening ceremony, there was already a professor missing from the staff table.
William, who couldn't integrate into the topic of the professors for a while, curiously calculated who disappeared based on the professor who was still on the scene, but was surprised to find that the missing professor seemed a little familiar to him.
It was Snape, a professor of potions, a hapless man who was stolen and knocked unconscious by a student—at least the information that William knew so far.
"Where is Professor Severe Snape?"
William asked Lockhart next to him in a low voice.
"Are you asking about that old bat? (Note 1
Lockhart lowered his voice, as if he didn't want his voice to be heard by other professors.
"Professor William, I have to tell you that when I was in school, Hogwarts ushered in the most unpopular professor, and that professor kept this title until now. Guess who the professor is One?"
Lockhart showed his habitual smile, and his main body teeth gleamed in the candlelight.
"Least popular?"
"Of course, not everyone can win the "Witcher Weekly" most charming smile award five times like me. He has been seeking the position of black-cough, wizard self-defense magic learning professor, but even when I take up the position of Huo. , He failed to get what he wanted."
Lockhart said smugly: "I won't fail like him. I am an honorary member of the Defense Against the Dark Arts League. The teachers and students at Hogwarts will cheer for my course!"
‘The co-author of that Professor Snape is so unpopular? No impression, intelligence collection failed. Also, although this Professor Lockhart looks arrogant, he seems to be here to sell books when he arrives at Hogwarts, but maybe he has an unexpected hand. Those awards can't be fake, right? ’
William simply complimented this new colleague—Azkaban’s life made William not a novice in this.
The compliment from the colleague obviously made this extremely happy, like a peacock opened the screen.
"I told you that most of the professors in the school knew me, and I hadn't left Hogwarts for less than ten years. Snape was not even a professor when I came to school."
"Not a professor?"
"Yes, no, I was a student at that time. I remember it clearly. I enrolled in 1975. Snape was four years older than me. Tsk tsk, if it weren’t for my unwillingness to speak ill of my classmates, I can even vividly explain how Snape was hung there by his peers."
But you have almost made things clear now.
William believed that if the professor Snape heard the conversation just now, he would definitely not feel relieved that Lockhart kept him a secret.
But Lockhart's Yaxing is very strong, and his desire to express has just been aroused at this moment.
"I’m from Ravenclaw, so I’m not very familiar with the people in those two colleges, but Snape belonged to two unpleasant existences at the time. When he was hung up by the Gryffindors, one of them was willing to help him. None of the Slytherins."
So, it’s better for colleagues not to be in the same school, otherwise you don’t know how much the other party knows about your dark history.
William felt that from the long list of words just now, he was replaced by Professor Snape, and he probably had already started a duel with the nonsense.
At this time, a freshman was assigned to Ravenclaw, which happened to attract Lockhart's attention.
He stood up and congratulated the new student.
The face of the little witch who was assigned to Ravenclaw flushed instantly, and she almost forgot to return the sorting hat and rushed to the Ravenclaw table, and then pulled a girl of about the same age and whispered something—that It looks very much like a fan who just got a signed photo.
Looking at this scene, William remembered the identity of this new colleague who seemed a little boastful—the author of the book enjoyment, or an adventure novel based on his own experience.
‘Am I the one with the most dish on this table? ’
William couldn't help but fall into thought.
Thinking of this, William couldn't help but feel anxious-after drinking a lot of wine with Hagrid in the afternoon, his thoughts floated and he didn't know how it happened.
"Sorry, I have to go."
William walked around to the door of the hall from a place where no one noticed. He was not familiar with the castle of Hogwarts, so he could only choose a few toilets he remembered to solve the problem.
But when he turned the intersection, William saw two strange figures, dragging them, carrying boxes, and not tall—it reminded him of having to leave the train at noon and buy a double Cavalier bus. The reason for the ticket.
"Huh? Newborn?"
William grabbed the wand in one hand, ready to pull it out at any time, and asked very easily in his mouth.
Although there is a high probability of being a new student, he still prevents possible accidents considering the reasons for the curse.
The two dragging figures stopped, and then William found a third figure—Professor Snape walking in the forefront.
"Oh? Professor William, I think you should be at the opening ceremony at this time, not here."
In the first sentence of the formal conversation, William instantly understood why this professor would be so unpopular in Lockhart's mouth. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
"At noon, I got off the Hogwarts Express specifically for these two students, and then ran to King's Cross station. Now I see these two students come and ask, there is nothing unreasonable, right?"
Neither of us know each other, what do you think of the first time we met?
If the newcomer in Azkaban was so easily instructed, it would basically be able to cover the entire cell. The original William was not so aggressive, but after Azkaban came out, his first reaction Just go back without being soft or hard.
"I am Potter's professor!"
"It's not a coincidence, so am I. I am still the dean, but when the students report at noon, I remember they are Gryffindor?"
William felt a pair of cold eyes on the opposite side and looked over. There was no look in his eyes that was almost crazy before—that was what William often saw in the eyes of prisoners who had just been jailed.
'what happened to him? The eagerness to punish the students led to the loss of ordinary judgment, so I lost my reason and ordered me? ’
William pretended to take out his wand inadvertently as he thought--thinking back, if another professor put him down in front of the student, he would have no face to wait.
"Okay, very good, then please ask Professor William to visit Potter and the others, and I will find someone who can clean them up."
Unexpectedly, the conflict did not continue. Professor Snape quickly left the aisle and walked towards the auditorium on one side.
Note: Snape studied from 1971 to 1978, and returned to school in 1981 to seek a job as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, but he became a professor of potions.
Lockhart studied in 1975-1982, and happened to have experienced it all.
