Head of Teaching at Hogwarts

Chapter 23 Join if you can't beat it

In the principal's office, Russell carefully blocked all the portraits and listened to Illidan reporting to himself what he had just discovered in the Potions Professor's office - "Snape is making a secret report to Dumbledore."

Sure enough, his guess was correct. Dumbledore could not be so relieved that he would become the principal. He would definitely keep an eye on him.

Ha ha.

The portrait in the principal's office would be blocked because Dumbledore must have thought that Russell would do it, so he also ordered a professor to take charge of this task.

However, Russell had always thought that this professor would be Professor McGonagall of Gryffindor, but he did not expect that it was Snape.

It seems that Professor McGonagall may be Dumbledore's chosen successor, but at Hogwarts, Snape is the person Dumbledore trusts the most.

No wonder Snape's attitude towards him started to be a little strange since he first met him.

However, Snape was secretly monitoring Russell, and Russell was also secretly monitoring Snape. The magic of house elves was very magical and could continue to work in many places where wizard magic could not work.

Even Voldemort didn't know many secrets in this area, and Russell felt that Snape would definitely not be able to discover them.

However, could Dumbledore actually know that he was also secretly spying on Snape, and asked Snape to deliberately give him some false news?

Although the magic of a house elf is magical, Russell can't guarantee it.

After all, Dumbledore is the most experienced old coin in the Harry Potter world, and he is the best at matryoshka dolls.

For example, Snape, although he is a professor at Hogwarts on the surface, many people think that he is Voldemort's man, but in fact he is Dumbledore's undercover agent planted with Voldemort.

Voldemort thought that Snape was a double undercover agent that he placed beside Dumbledore, but in fact Snape was a triple undercover agent that Dumbledore volunteered to sacrifice to complete a key mission.

Just like this time, Dumbledore ordered Snape to monitor Russell, and Russell also secretly monitored Snape. Maybe Dumbledore was also secretly monitoring Russell in other ways.

Anyway, Russell will always be wary of Dumbledore.

Dumbledore is a good person, and Russell doesn't think he is a bad person, but they are definitely not on the same path.

However, Russell couldn't help but admire Snape's unbridled imagination. He actually felt that he was learning from the Nordic Vikings' method of training warriors to train young wizards at Hogwarts. This was like no one else.

"The Elysium after death in Norse Gnostic teachings: warriors who died in battle followed the guidance of the Valkyrie and came to Valhalla.

There, the samurai fought and killed each other during the day, resurrected with full health at night, drank and had fun with other samurai who had killed each other all night long, and repeated the cycle of battle-death-resurrection-drinking the next day.

This goes on until Ragnarok.This is the ideal paradise of the original Vikings. "

Russell recalled the original words in Snape's letter and couldn't help but come to the conclusion: the so-called Viking Paradise Hall of Valor is actually a PVP game hall.

To put it this way, I used to have a solo session with my roommate every night and then order a late night snack and then go to sleep. It was like a paradise life.

It has been 20 years since I came to this world, and now I feel a little nostalgic when I think about it.

......

on Tuesday.

In the cafeteria of Hogwarts, the young wizards were still discussing yesterday's open class during breakfast with great interest.

The dull and boring life at Hogwarts was suddenly filled with a lot of fun and excitement because of Russell's open class yesterday, which they had been lacking but looking forward to.

Originally, a professor of Defense Against Dark Arts who also had great reputation was considered by many to be the person who changed everything. Unfortunately, his performance seemed to be somewhat unsatisfactory.

Even "unsatisfactory" is just a one-sided statement by some fanatical fans, and more evaluations of Little Wizard are bad or even disgusting.

And such fanatic fans are still decreasing at a rapid rate. For example, a second-year Gryffindor witch has officially lost her fandom since noon yesterday.

On the long table in the Hogwarts Great Hall, Hermione was drinking pumpkin juice and looking at the book "Charms Learning: From Beginner to Mastery" in her hand.

Next to him, Ron had a beef pie in his left hand and a large chicken drumstick in his right hand. Before he could swallow the contents in his mouth, he started talking about the glory of the Wizards Alliance.

"Harry, after the Wizards Alliance Glory room opens on Sunday, let's form a team and go together. I think we will be invincible in Wizard Canyon."

"Maybe, but we are only in our second year. I always feel that if we meet opponents like Percy and Cedric, it will be difficult for us to win." Although Harry was equally excited, he still maintained a certain sense of reason.

Ron's eyes widened, "No, our luck won't be that bad. Maybe we will encounter Malfoy and his two little followers."

As he spoke, Ron closed his eyes and seemed to have been immersed in the game, "The three of us will act together, you and Malfoy will fight, and then Hermione and I will hide. When he gets close, we will send him back to his hometown! He tried to resist, but it was too late..."

Before Harry had time to speak, Hermione, who was having breakfast and reading next to her, raised her head and said angrily: "Ron, I must remind you that your wand is broken. You might cast the spell by then." Cum on yourself.”

Ron seemed to be choked suddenly and couldn't speak. He took a sip of pumpkin juice and tried to swallow the pie. Then he muttered in a low voice: "Anyway, Harry and I both won."

Hermione snorted coldly. Her mood had not been good since the game ended yesterday.

Both Harry and Ron won yesterday's game. Even though Ron's wand was broken, he and Wood were on the same team and won easily.

However, her biggest breakthrough point came when she faced a sixth-year Ravenclaw wizard, so she felt that the game of Wizards Alliance Glory was completely a game of luck.

Sometimes winning or losing depends more on whether you meet strong teammates or opponents than on your own performance. This makes her, who is used to relying on herself, feel a little disappointed.

Will this affect her evaluation in Principal Russell's heart? Thinking of this, Hermione lowered her head and read the book again.

Harry suddenly became interested and couldn't help but ask: "Hermione, you have met Professor Russell. Do you know any other information about him? I think he is different from other Slytherins. "

Ron agreed: "Maybe he is a Gryffindor, that's why he invented the game Wizards Union Glory. The Sorting Hat must have made a mistake!"

Hermione raised her head and glared at Ron before saying, "Do you know about Principal Russell's voluntary make-up classes?"

Harry and Ron nodded together. Russell's deeds had spread wildly among the young wizards in the lower grades of Hogwarts since yesterday to the point where everyone knew about it.

In particular, he set up after-school tutoring classes and provided long-term voluntary tutoring to Hogwarts students, which made many young wizards think that he was really a natural-born principal.

Hermione continued to ask: "Then do you know why so many people join Professor Russell's tutoring class?"

Harry and Ron shook their heads together. They also wondered, why would anyone want to join a boring after-school tutoring class?Wouldn't it be nice to play wizard chess or Quidditch with him at this time?

Hermione looked around, moved her head closer to Harry and Ron, and lowered her voice and said, "I heard that Professor Russell is very good at telling others to 'join if they can't beat him'!"

"If you can't beat them, join them!" Ron and Harry repeated this sentence in a low voice, as if they suddenly understood something, with expressions full of disbelief and fascination on their faces.
