Head of Teaching at Hogwarts

At the same time, in Snape's underground office at Hogwarts.

Snape looked at the visitor, his face tense, suppressing his anger.

"Dumbledore! I need an explanation!"

Dumbledore did not answer, but sat down on his own, "Severus, won't you buy me something to drink? This is not the etiquette for treating guests."

"Then what do you want to drink?" Snape asked angrily, "Killer wine? Eight-eyed spider venom? Witch's tears? Or crane crown red?"

With every word he spoke, a reagent bottle appeared out of thin air.

"Two glasses of pumpkin juice with more sugar and honey, thank you!" Dumbledore waved his hand, and the reagent bottles containing various poisons disappeared, replaced by two glasses of pumpkin juice.

"I don't need these!" Snape was very embarrassed.

"Life is bitter enough, so we should all eat more desserts." Dumbledore placed a glass of pumpkin juice in front of Snape.

Snape took a sip like he was swallowing a dead fly, then continued to stare at Dumbledore and mocked;

"Tell me, Dumbledore, is your 100-year-old brain confused? Why do you suddenly want to leave Hogwarts?

If you think you are mentally ill, you should come to me and ask if there is a corresponding potion, instead of just handing over the position of principal to someone else and walking away! "

Dumbledore drank the pumpkin juice with sugar and honey in one gulp, closed his eyes, as if savoring the sweetness, and then put down the teacup:

"Severus, I didn't hand over the position of principal to someone casually. Russell was the one who drove me away with the removal order signed by 13 members of the school board.

The person in front of you now is just an old man who is over 100 years old but has no pension and has just lost his job. "

Snape pushed the teacup between them and asked angrily: "That's enough, Albus, we all know that if you don't want to, no one can let you leave Hogwarts!"

Dumbledore still did not answer directly, but asked instead: "Severus, do you have any dissatisfaction with Russell?

His talent is recognized by the entire magical world. Even you once told me that Russell is the most talented person you have ever seen. "

"I did say such a thing once, and I still agree with it," Snape's voice gradually calmed down, as if he was thinking about something. Soon, he added:

"I think Russell will become the Headmaster of Hogwarts. But it definitely shouldn't be now! Dumbledore, are you really that old and confused?"

"No, Severus, I am sober enough to tell you that although I am older, I am becoming more and more sober. We don't want to make the same mistakes we made when we were young, right?"

Snape snorted coldly, and then said: "So Potter, what are you going to do? I won't take care of him for you!"

Dumbledore smiled and said, "I believe Russell will take good care of Harry. He has always been an enthusiastic person since he first entered school."

Snape nodded and said nothing. Russell was known to have provided free and compulsory education to the young wizards at Hogwarts for a long time during their school years.

Dumbledore continued calmly: "Russell is an outstanding wizard, extremely outstanding. He is the most talented person I have ever seen in my life, bar none."

Snape nodded.

Dumbledore continued: "Perhaps you have also noticed that Russell began to release his influence on the outside world from the first day he entered Hogwarts, and he did not restrain himself in this regard until graduation. "

"After graduation, he even used his influence to become a member of the Hogwarts school board, and he also took this opportunity to directly impeach and remove me."

Snape did not interrupt. He knew that when Dumbledore spoke like this, it meant that he might have some extremely important plan. He planned to listen carefully to what made Dumbledore decide to leave Hogwarts temporarily.

"Russell had an influence no less than mine among many students at Hogwarts before he graduated. Frankly speaking, in terms of ability alone, he would be enough to serve as the principal of Hogwarts even as soon as he graduates. I believe , he will be more qualified than me, a bad old man who is over 100 years old."

"Moreover, he made no secret of his ambitions and ideas. On the day of graduation, he applied to me, hoping that I would leave the principal's office and let him serve as the principal of Hogwarts."

"Haha, what a dynamic young man." Dumbledore smiled and continued: "Of course I must have rejected him. He is too young and lacks prestige. More importantly, his ambition is too obvious. , he even surpasses Voldemort in this aspect."

Snape listened quietly to Dumbledore's account of his mental journey. It wasn't until the other party compared Russell with Voldemort that he took a deep breath.

"He is different from that person." Snape retorted reluctantly.

"Yes, I agree with you." Dumbledore nodded, "I know Russell and Voldemort. Russell and Voldemort are indeed two different people.

Voldemort doesn't understand love, nor does he understand people's hearts, but Russell seems to be born with the ability to mobilize people's hearts. Voldemort only knows how to use fear, while Russell often shares benefits with his friends.

Voldemort discriminated against Muggles, and even all non-pure-blood wizards, but Russell would never do this. Not only did he not discriminate against Muggles, but he believed that Muggles were more intelligent than wizards in many aspects.

Many of his special actions are said to be inspired by Muggle wisdom.

So I consider Russell more like another old friend of mine than Voldemort. "

"Who?"

"Gellert Grindelwald!"

The whole office suddenly became quiet.

Snape didn't speak for a while. Just now, Dumbledore was praising his favorite student, the glory of Slytherin, thinking that he was even better than Voldemort.

This made Snape feel comfortable for a while. In any case, Russell was a student of his Slytherin House, especially the first class of little wizards he raised by himself. Snape always had a special feeling for Russell. .

However, what he didn't expect was that Dumbledore said that Russell was different from Voldemort. His ultimate purpose was to say that Russell was closer to Gellert Grindelwald than Voldemort?

what is this?

More Dark Lord than Dark Lord?

You know, although Voldemort and Grindelwald are both called the Dark Lord, Voldemort's influence has never exceeded the British wizarding world, and Grindelwald has caused panic among wizards around the world.
