Hogwarts Staff Maker

After they had admired the flying brooms, they met Hermione on their way to class, but she ignored them and she had a complete falling out with them.

Hermione even changed her seat, moving away from Harry and the others and running to Neville's table, which made the fat boy very happy!

There was only one potions class on Friday. Ever since the note caused Professor Snape to misunderstand him, his attitude towards Harry was no longer as hateful and disliked as before, but caring and tolerant. This made potions almost Harry's favorite class besides flying class.

Liu Sen found out sadly that Snape seemed to have turned his dislike target into him! Although he was not afraid to ask questions, and his strong psychological quality would not let him knock over the crucible with shaking hands because of the other party's harsh words, but being stared at and targeted was really not a good feeling!

So Liu Sen, who was full of resentment, smiled on his face, but in his heart he kept thinking about the difficulties and hardships that the old bat would encounter in the future, as well as the various jokes about him that he had seen on the Internet in his previous life, in order to relieve his wounded heart.

At the end of get out of class, Professor Snape assigned a large amount of weekend homework amid the students' groans and sighs.

When everyone was leaving, Liu Sen was unexpectedly stopped.

"Liu Sen! What's going on in your cauldron? Stay and clean it up before you leave!" Snape said with his hands behind his back and a stern look on his face.

Liu Sen clearly remembered that his cauldron had been cleaned up very well, although it was a cleansing spell cast using Seamus's wand.

The friends were all very worried about Liu Sen, but under Snape's scary gaze, they could only leave in a hurry with a look of "take care of yourself".

When the classroom quieted down, Liu Sen said without fear: "Professor, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Snape stood on the podium, turned around and said condescendingly: "Mr. Liu Sen, you are very active! As a first-year student, your performance is indeed better than many idiots. But I hope you can focus on the textbooks! Instead of some... crooked... evil ways!"

Liu Sen was not impressed by Snape's whispering way of speaking that could scare the little wizard, and he continued to wait calmly for what to say next.

This calmness made Snape very unhappy, but he continued: "It is rumored that you have learned some oriental magic, and you are smugly performing in public! Then Mr. Liu Sen, tell me, what skills do you have to show off? Little magic to coax girls, unpopular knowledge from the East... or... little tricks of prophecy!"

When Li Sen heard this, he vaguely guessed the other party's intention, but he was not sure. He tightened his collar and felt that the concentration talisman attached to the back of his neck was still firmly attached there, and he immediately felt relieved.

"Professor Snape, I have always regarded the school textbooks and courses taught by teachers as my primary learning tasks, but as far as I know, the school does not have a clear rule prohibiting the learning of knowledge outside the school, right?" Liu Sen paused. He really wanted to see something on Snape's face, but unfortunately he got nothing.

He continued, "As for what you call showing off, it's not really like that. I was just exchanging academic ideas with my classmates. You know, there are many differences between the knowledge systems of the East and the West, and they can refer to and verify each other. I have some Chinese books on potions. If you are interested, I can translate them and show them to you. They are quite valuable for research. As for other alchemy, history, boxing, and qi-reading techniques, I guess you are not interested!"

Snape's expression changed when he heard the word aerodynamics.

"In my opinion, they are all useless things. Hogwarts has everything you want to learn! For example, the 'Aerialism' you mentioned! Isn't it divination? We also have astrology and arithmetic divination! Is the so-called aerialism in the East accurate at all?"

Liu Sen understood in his heart that this guy must have heard about his "prediction" ability and was talking to him!

He thought about it and felt that being a charlatan was quite fun. Since you want to get the "prophecy" for free, just wait for the surprise!

So Liu Sen pretended to be angry and said, "Professor, knowledge knows no borders! China's magic culture has a long history and is broad and profound! I am just getting started in the art of looking at qi, but I can already foresee many things!"

Seeing that the topic was successfully introduced, Snape continued with contempt: "Ha! How can prophecy be so simple! As far as I know, most of the so-called 'prophets' and 'seers' are just in name only! Even the teacher...someone is just using the name of his ancestors to cheat people! Liu Sen, you should use your limited IQ on textbooks! Don't waste your time on the beginner's art of qi-reading! What can you predict? Predict one for me to see!"

Liu Sen was furious: You old bat! If you want to provoke me, then do it well! You dare to slander me! Fine, fine, fine! Let me see how I can fool you!

He deliberately cooperated with an expression of defense: "Professor! The art of looking at qi is not a lie! And... I feel that I really have the gift of prediction! My great-grandfather Liu Tao was a great wizard in China like Dumbledore! He was a legendary prophet! My art of looking at qi is a secret art written by my great-grandfather! It's very accurate!"

Snape was excited, but his acting was excellent. He remained calm and even showed disgusting contempt and disdain. He said in his signature low voice, "Really? Then show me."

Liu Sen smiled evilly in his heart, but said sincerely on the surface: "Professor, what do you want me to calculate? The art of looking at qi can predict the past and the future, can predict good and bad luck, can find objects and treasures, can..."

Snape interrupted Liu Sen: "You can predict anything you want, if your ridiculous trick can really predict something."

Liu Sen pretended to stare at Snape carefully, while making meaningless hand seals. After a moment, he frowned slightly and muttered, "Strange, am I seeing things?" Then he fiddled with the hand seals again.

He said nervously: "Well... Professor, you may not believe it, but from your face, I can see..." Liu Sen deliberately looked flustered, hesitating and not daring to say anything.

"What?" Snape asked coldly.

"Judging from your facial features, you will have... a bloody disaster in the near future!" Liu Sen said.

Snape said disdainfully: "What nonsense! It's just a trick!"

Liu Sen said anxiously: "No, Professor! I really saw that you would be injured one night soon!"

Snape stood on the podium and looked down at me: "Injured? Do you think I, as a professor, will get hurt in Hogwarts? I haven't shed a drop of blood in ten years! You should save your little tricks to scare little girls!"

Liu Sen pretended to be at a loss and said, "But I really saw you bleeding! How should I put it... I saw some scenes... Hell! Yes, it's related to hell! Don't disbelieve it!... There is another omen! Let me see... The person you least want to see is about to come! That's right! It's the person you really, really don't want to see!"

"Nonsense! I think you can't even make up a story! Use your Chinese secret book to burn for firewood! You might as well take a look at 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard'! Okay, okay, I finally see your 'talent'! Mr. Liu Sen, use your pitiful little wisdom on textbooks, and don't waste your time on these things! Go away!" Snape said angrily.

Liu Sen wanted to explain, but Snape had already walked away in disappointment.

Seeing the other party leave, Liu Sen showed a smug smirk. When Snape finds out that the 'prophecy' has come true, he will come to find him again!

Liu Sen finished his homework alone in the afternoon, while Harry and Ron spent the whole afternoon around the Nimbus 2000. They couldn't wait to try out the performance of this broom - Harry would have his first Quidditch practice tonight.

However, Liu Sen also encountered a happy thing in the evening. He received a reply from Dumbledore!

Dumbledore's efficiency is still acceptable. Last night I asked him to issue a document allowing construction to begin, and he also applied to the Ministry of Magic for permission to use the Hogwarts train to transport construction materials, and everything was done!

Dumbledore seldom speaks, but once he does, the school board and the Ministry of Magic have to give him enough face.

Needless to say, Minister of Magic Fudge now consults Dumbledore whenever there is something, and he immediately nodded in agreement for such a small matter as using the train.

The school board meeting was a little troublesome, as each member had to write a letter to Dumbledore, but most of the school directors supported Dumbledore and signed the consent form without hesitation. A few school directors who liked to stir up trouble saw that they didn't have to pay for it themselves and that everyone else had signed, so they reluctantly accepted it.

Liu Sen immediately informed his family of the good news through Hedwig.

The school also made preparations. The next morning, the following notice was posted in the auditorium and public lounge:

Attention students of all grades: the ranger's hut is about to be renovated and off-campus personnel will come to work on it. For safety reasons, no one except relevant personnel is allowed to enter the construction site!

Just after breakfast, the first construction manager arrived. This was the best candidate carefully selected by Liu Sen!
