Professor, please pay the debt

"Why did they go?" Harry seemed to be talking to himself, but the voice was just enough for those around him to hear.

"I know!"

Lavender Brown said excitedly that she is a silly girl who always likes to wear some strange headgear, and now there are two spherical octopuses waving tentacles in her hair.

Many people looked at her, which made her even more excited, and she said to Harry: "Snape is going to help Malfoy solve his troubles, because the Aurors confiscated Malfoy's crutches, and Malfoy insisted on coming back... ..."

That's the scepter of the Malfoy family, not a crutch, stupid woman!

"Thank you, Lavender..." Harry tried his best to make his expression more friendly to encourage Lavender to tell more about the situation, "It would be better if you knew the outcome of the matter, whether Malfoy wants to return him?" The...well, crutches."

"I didn't see the result. I was so hungry at the time that I didn't have the heart to watch Malfoy. But Snape should succeed. He's a professor, isn't he?"

"may be……"

Harry lost interest in the conversation and cut the food on the plate absent-mindedly. When Ron asked about the details of the time, Lavender chatted with him very enthusiastically.

Hermione glared at Ron, doing the same thing as Harry - cutting hard.

……

Everyone was busy eating, and the auditorium was filled with the sound of clinking cups and plates. After everyone was satisfied, Dumbledore stood up, and the food on the table disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Dumbledore is still wearing his royal blue star-studded wizard robe today, his silver-white beard is tied with butterfly knots, and a pair of blue eyes scan the audience behind half-shaped glasses. The students quickly fell silent , Waiting for the old principal to give a congratulatory speech for the new semester.

This year's principal's speech was not as brief as in previous years. Dumbledore first welcomed the freshmen, and then focused on the security situation this year. Of course, Voldemort is an unavoidable topic. Dumbledore hopes that everyone will be vigilant and pay attention to safety. Any dangerous things should be reported to the staff immediately. Harry noticed that when Dumbledore mentioned Voldemort, all the teachers and students trembled in fear, and only he and Snape remained indifferent in the entire auditorium.

Dumbledore then relayed the administrator Fulch's words, "Students are prohibited from bringing any Weasley's Joke Shop merchandise."

But none of the students took it seriously, and Harry guessed not even Dumbledore himself.

Subsequently, Dumbledore explained to the students two personnel changes, a new professor joined the school, and another professor changed the teaching subjects.

To be honest, in recent years, the students have gotten used to changing the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor every year.

So no one was surprised to see new faces in the faculty.But Dumbledore caused a stir when he introduced the new professor, saying:

"We are delighted to have a new teacher this year. Professor Slughorn, a former colleague of mine, has agreed to return to his old job as Potions teacher."

Potions class? !

The word echoed throughout the auditorium, and everyone wondered if they had heard it wrong.

Ron and Hermione glared at Harry at the same time. "He teaches Potions? Why didn't you say so?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Harry was surprised by their reaction. "Of course Slughorn is teaching Potions. Why should that be any surprise?"

In the Dark Lord's understanding, Slughorn is a professor who specializes in potions. He has worked at Hogwarts for at least 30 years and has been teaching potions. Now that he is back to work, he still teaches potions. It's natural, isn't it?

"You didn't!" Ron and Hermione replied in unison.

Dumbledore raised his voice over the students' voices, "At the same time, Professor Snape will be the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts."

This time the reaction of the students was divided into two distinct camps, and the Slytherin students applauded and congratulated Snape——

Everyone knows that Snape applied for this position for several years in a row, but Dumbledore has always disagreed, while the other three houses.

Especially at the long table in Gryffindor, there were gasps, and someone complained softly, "No, that's impossible!"

"Merlin, I don't look forward to Defense class anymore."

things like that.

Ron said even more sharply: "It's a year at most, he won't last long, this position is cursed."

"Ron!" Hermione screamed and scolded him. "Snape was just being mean. He didn't really hurt us. You don't have to say that about him."

"What did I say?" Ron spread his hands to defend his words, "I only said he wouldn't last long, and I didn't say he would be unlucky, think about the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors in the past five years, just dead Isn't one?"

The students in the sixth grade all began to recall the five professors in the past five years. Quirrell died, Lockhart entered Azkaban, Lupine...

Merlin bless him, he left the job intact, Moody was locked in a box for 9 months, Umbridge...she deserved it!

In this way, the position is truly cursed!

"Merlin!" Neville let out a feeble voice, "I didn't take Potions class this year, I thought I finally got rid of Snape!"

The members of DA also echoed. They all took the advanced class of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and it was miserable, and they were about to be abused by Snape again.

Harry thought defense class this year must be interesting, what would Snape look like when he found out that half the students in his class were Harry's followers?

Harry looked at Snape...

At this time, the face of the black-robed professor was stained with joy, making the originally empty eyes glow a little brightly, and the corners of the mouth were slightly raised, as if he had gotten the teaching position of the defense class, which made him feel a little bit emotional. Rejoicing, but not worth celebrating.

But for the sake of everyone's welcome, the proud Slytherin Snake King did not hesitate to give everyone a good look.

Harry couldn't help laughing, Severus was so funny!

Snape caught Harry's gaze, and he turned his head to stare unceremoniously at Harry...

Those black eyes were full of anger and contempt, and Harry suddenly remembered what had happened in Spinner's End.

When Snape was pinned on the bed by him, he was staring at him like this... Snape's lips were cool and sweet and soft, and it didn't taste bad...

Harry stroked his lips with his index finger, and gave Snape a ambiguous smile in return. Snape's eyes turned red in an instant, the joy of getting the position he dreamed of disappeared without a trace, and he clenched his hands angrily. Fist, lips open and close silently...

"Is he cursing you, Harry!" Ron asked in a trembling voice, terrified.

"No, he's saying, we'll see!" Harry replied with a smile, "I have a hunch that defense class this semester will be interesting."

Snape couldn't have really hurt Harry even if he was mad, which was great, it was a sure bet.Harry knew he would win, he would get everything he wanted.
