A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 12 Undecrypted Conversations

Go 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.

"Headmaster! Headmaster Dumbledore!"

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

Snape stood in front of him, but he didn't sit down, but kicked away the obstructing stool, with the table between them, he asked angrily: "You recruited Felix Heap to teach at the school?" ?what are you thinking!"

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, including me, of course."

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 said of him, 'a standard Slytherin' - very high," laughed Dumbledore.

Snape's face was ugly, "I didn't say that to compliment him"——it was 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 and slowly Let’s talk.” He waved his hand and called the stool back.

Snape sat down stiffly, as if he had a fire-breathing dragon instead of a cushion under his hip.

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

"I don't need it." Snape didn't give face.

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

But 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. Heap, but as he grew up, my opinion of him also changed. Until recently, I and he After an in-depth exchange, I finally made up my mind to hire him."

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

"Although I am older, I have become more sober these years. We are always more prone to 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 complaint letters from them almost every day!"

Dumbledore seemed to smile, but he quickly covered his mouth and took a gulp 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, don't we?"

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 right 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, and one of the most talented people I have ever seen in my life. He has been pursuing Strength, I can see this very clearly, even though he rarely showed it after the fifth grade, he never stopped chasing strength."

"Even after graduation, that was my biggest concern at the time."

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 is too young, but also With 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 I kept exchanging letters with him."

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 benefits. Even without magic, I can understand most people's thoughts."

"From the moment he entered the school to the present, he has not shown 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 think that wizards are superior to others. 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 mind was just as dangerous, you know what he said in the book How Muggles Think?"

As if 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, which is due to their production. The 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, which makes the development speed of the Muggle world It's like being on a broomstick."

Seeing that Dumbledore wanted to intervene, Snape continued to recite a paragraph without hesitation: "In the Muggle world, if the proportion of nobles is one, then the proportion of commoners exceeds ten thousand. And when the ruler liberates After defeating the common people, their development efficiency smashed through all obstacles with unstoppable force!"

The entire principal's office became silent.

Even the portraits of the headmaster who were listening in opened their mouths. These words did not seem to mention the wizarding world, but simply introduced and analyzed the development process of the Muggle world, but they alluded to the current wizarding world everywhere.

One of the portraits was filled with righteous indignation and shouted: "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!"
