Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Shocked teacher
Stunned, Jian Yu felt a bitter liquid being poured into her mouth, which made her want to vomit.
"Violation of school rules... expelled..."
"First-year students... just enrolled..."
She felt two voices next to her, speaking an English she didn't understand, which was very loud.
But her subconscious still picked up the word "expelled", which made her happy. She even struggled to open her eyes and discovered that she was no longer in the secret room, but in a white room full of hospital beds - this was supposed to be the school hospital.
She turned around to look for the source of the sound.
But she saw a man with a hooked nose and a large black robe on the left side of the bed. His hair was greasy and he looked like he hadn't washed in a few days. He stared at her with fierce eyes; she had no doubt that if eyes could kill, she would have died hundreds of times by now.
She turned her head and looked at the right side of the bed. Ah, it was the principal. He had a big white beard and was wearing a sweater.
Not caring about hygiene, not feeding the pets... Now that's my impression of this director.
She couldn't help but move her body to the left. Although the professor on the left also had a greasy head, at least he had a fresh medicinal smell comparable to that found in Chinese medicine pharmacies, the unclean principal on the right.
But in the eyes of Dumbledore and Snape, this was a sign that she was afraid of the kind principal and preferred to seek shelter from the greasy old bat.
They both looked as if they had eaten beans that tasted like snot.
If he were an ordinary student, Dumbledore would definitely use this to provoke this gloomy old man.
But what they're up against now is an alcoholic freshman who used mysterious means to pass five levels and kill six generals on the first day of school, break into the restricted area of the fourth-floor corridor, and try to steal the Philosopher's Stone!
He's lived over a hundred years and, apart from this person, he's never seen such a daring student!
Slytherin... stole the Philosopher's Stone... and was born in an orphanage... That's just adding buffs to your minefield!
'Could it be that the dark forces are already infiltrating the freshmen who haven't yet entered the school?
The thought made him feel sad and gloomy.
His former colleague on the other side had already started hissing and spreading venom:
"Perhaps the distinguished Miss Jian feels that her performance at the selection ceremony isn't amazing enough. She needs to travel to the castle at night on the first day of school, break into the restricted area, and steal the Philosopher's stone, in order to become famous throughout the school."
"Stupid, reckless, idiot, I'm afraid your brain is full of slugs."
"What a pity, you're a student in my house, otherwise I'd certainly propose that the principal expel you."
What? Shoot yourself!
There are so many good things in the world!
Although the gloomy teacher in front of her liked to use a lot of adjectives that Jian Yu couldn't understand, she still caught the word "expelled".
Look, that's my teacher!
Although he looks gloomy, he's thoughtful!
Jian Yu's eyes immediately showed a hint of gratitude and hesitation.
'What on earth is that look of gratitude?
Snape felt extremely uncomfortable!
He'd just said he wouldn't expel her, and this girl was so excited.
In his 32 years of life, he had never received such sincere affection from a student, which made him feel as if there were ants crawling all over his body.
Dumbledore also caught the interaction between the two, his blue eyes twinkling:
"Child, I wonder if you would like to join me, an elderly gentleman, in the Headmaster's office for a chat?"
Jian Yu understood the phrase, and Dumbledore must have taken her to the principal's office to discuss the expulsion.
Just follow the procedures, it's the same in all schools!
She nodded happily and got out of bed.
Well... Oops! I'm still dizzy and can't sit still!
Before falling, she grabbed the black cloak in front of her. She heard a "sizzle" and a clear sound of fabric tearing. The dark veil of the snub-nosed professor was torn by her.
"Are you a troll?"
Snape's neck turned red with anger, and he viciously pulled the black cloth from her hand.
"Ahem..." Jian Yu was a little embarrassed, ripping a teacher's coat to shreds wasn't part of his plan.
She hadn't expected the quality of the robes to be so bad. She decided to order ten sets of large black robes for the professor when she went to London and opened a Chinese medicine clinic!
But she still doesn't know his name, so how will she find him in the future?
So, in the dark corridor of the castle, she asked the words that made people's pupils flutter:
"What's your name?"
Snape's face was black as coal today. A Slytherin student was standing in front of him and causing so much trouble... He really didn't know the name of the Dean of her House.
"Are all the splendors in your mind? I think there should be a teacher presenting them at the sorting ceremony. Or are your ears completely blocked by slugs, making you unable to hear?"
Jian Yu looked confused.
Why is this teacher starting to use adjectives again? I don't get it.
"Okay Severus, let's wait until we get there. The portraits are all awake."
He was afraid that if he kept listening, he'd laugh out loud. Watching the famous Professor Snape suffer was one of the great pleasures of his boring teaching life.
Besides, students entering restricted areas is a serious problem and it is always inappropriate to raise the corners of the mouth on such occasions.
Jian Yu understood that the teacher's name was Severus.
They walked up a spiral staircase in the shape of a griffin and arrived at the door to the principal's office.
"Mel makes sweets," said Dumbledore to a hideous gargoyle at the door.
The door opened.
Jian Yu sat down on a chair and looked at the furniture in the room.
The walls of the circular office are covered in portraits, and they sleep with their eyes closed in the frames. On the other side, the Sorting Hat is placed on the shelf, also snoring. A large golden-red bird, like a golden pheasant, opened its eyelids slightly when it heard the noise on the shelf. It seemed to be very weak. The table was full of documents and several feathers had been placed on it.
What was even more striking was the jar of sweets on the table to the left. It was filled with strange sweets and chocolates, and some even danced slightly inside.
"Child, would you like a bunch of cockroaches? It's fresh and delicious." Seeing her looking at the jar of sweets, Dumbledore took some sweets and invited her in.
However, Jian Yu looked at him with an expression of extreme disgust.
Lack of hygiene, mistreatment of pets, eating cockroaches- not everything seems to be done by a good person.
Seeing Jian Yu shaking his head firmly, Dumbledore had no choice but to stick his head in his mouth with regret.
"Well... let's talk about the restricted area." He crossed his fingers and looked at Jian Yu with his blue eyes, "Miss Jian, how did you pass these levels?"
Jian Yu understood again, he was asking her how she passed the test.
She was lost in thought, how was she supposed to answer this question in her poor English?
After a while, she said tersely: "Feed the dog".
No wonder the air smelled of dinner when they entered the three-headed dog's room!
Dumbledore and Snape looked at each other. The three-headed dog's weak point is music. When they listen to music, they fall asleep, but they never thought of feeding the dog... what a magical operation!
Snape thought of something, took the vial from his arms, poured some powder into it, and looked at it carefully.
"It really is the poison of the three-headed dog that corroded the devil's ivy."
"There are also new Aconitum plants, which are the effects of saliva."
Being able to lead the three-headed dog to do things for her, perhaps Miss Jane has a talent for studying magical animals!
Now they were both looking at her differently.
This new student... maybe Hufflepuff is the house she should go to. Dumbledore thought so.
"So that's it, kid, Helga will like you." His expression softened considerably, but his eyes were still scrutinizing, and he asked: "So how do you open these doors without a key?"
Jian Yu picked up his wand and placed it on the table.
Dumbledore picked up the twisted wand with one hand. No, he preferred to call it a twist rather than a wand. He then used his wand to cast several flashback spells, but the wand showed no response. In fact, its core never emitted any spells.
Jian Yu was very surprised to see the director looking at the wand with a stern look. Didn't he just use the wand to make a master key?
She got down from her chair, stepped forward, picked up the hemp wand, and started to force it - the action was immediately interrupted by the principal, who was looking at her with a complicated and anguished look.
"Child, I have no intention of letting you leave school. Don't treat your half like that."
He thought that Jian Yu had given up on herself under the questioning and wanted to break her wand and leave the school.
However, the next scene surprised him with its half-moon glasses.
The girl inserted her wand into the lock of the desk drawer and, with a click, the lock opened.
"Oh... that's it..." He picked up the wand again and shook it twice. It seemed to be very flexible could be twisted and bent at will, and wouldn't break under external force.
"Mahogany, kid, you're very well suited to transformation spells." He discovered another of Jian Yu's talents.
Dumbledore handed her back her wand, and his tone became much gentler: "So we only have two puzzles left. How did you pass the chessboard and potions levels?"
Jian Yu started thinking again. She wanted to say that she was on the right side of the white chess piece... how do you say right side, ah, right!
Then she raised her head and spoke firmly to the director: "I'm on the right side of white!"
What! Does she really have such a high level of consciousness?
Dumbledore was very shocked that a new student could say so firmly that she was on the right side of the white wizard. He looked carefully into Jian Yu's eyes and could only see sincerity.
How could he extinguish such an innocent heart?
Any mistrust is harmful to children.
He wasn't going to ask any more questions. He was already over a hundred years old and should be more tolerant of an eleven-year-old.
"Good child." He stood up, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh, "I'm glad you have this idea. But you're still a new pupil, and that must be borne by us adult wizards."
A large, rough hand gently stroked Jian Yu's black hair.
"I know you came here to prove your courage and fearlessness. In fact, courage doesn't just belong to Gryffindor. There are also many brave sonserins in history..."
"Besides, too much courage and self-confidence can turn into recklessness and arrogance. If you hadn't thought of these methods, it's likely that we'd only be able to find your body."
"For that, I have to deduct 100 points from Slytherin."
Dumbledore opened his eyes and looked at Snape. Sure enough, he was spraying air-conditioning on the house's missing points.
