Chapter 254: "Otto's" suggestion
"My job is to impart knowledge, not to be a babysitter. Professor Dumbledore. ”
Snape's black eyes stared at Dumbledore, and he said with some annoyance.
"Of course, I'll pay extra attention to her and maybe answer some questions once in a while, but that's about it. I don't want this to affect the normal teaching schedule of Potions class for the rest of the year...... Besides, I don't think Miss Caslana is so dangerous that she needs to be watched over at all times, even between meals and between classes. ”
In the face of the tacit acting skills of the three demon kings, let alone Professor Snape, even if Tom Riddle is present, he may not be able to detect anything wrong - to be able to find some of them is already a great acuity.
"That's enough. ”
Dumbledore smiled lightly, crossed his slender fingers on his knees, turned his head to look at Elena and whispered.
"Miss Kaslana, if you have any questions in the future, you can go to Professor Snape for help and answers first. Compared to Professor Snape's office, which is also on the basement level, the Chancellor's office is indeed a little far from the Hufflepuff common room. Also, I'm not always in the office. ”
After a slight pause for a few seconds, the old man's blue eyes fell on Elena's face through the lens, and he said pointedly:
“...... I'm sure the doors of Professor Snape's office will be happy to leave them open for you. ”
Office doors?
Snape couldn't help but think of something that wasn't so pleasant.
For some reason, he always had a familiar uncomfortable feeling.
It was as if the three people in front of him, who had a huge age gap and should be unrelated in theory, had formed a small group and excluded him.
Is it a delusion?
Snape frowned slightly, and said with a cold expression.
"I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore. I have a full schedule every day, and I probably don't have a lot of time to sit in my office and wait to sort out some adolescent little witch. ”
As he spoke, Snape pulled out his wand and clicked on the huge parchment beside him, and the original [Cheese Baked Snail] operation steps gradually faded, and a huge class schedule slowly emerged.

Hogwarts class schedules are divided by grade level.
Year 1 and Year 2 students like Elena are still taught by UK public school standards:
Two classes in the morning, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., and one in the afternoon, from 2 to 3:10 or 3:30, but due to the boarding system and special schedules, there is occasionally an astronomy class or a history of magic to improve sleep quality between 8 and 9 p.m.
But overall, for the junior wizards, it is still quite a relaxed and pleasant learning atmosphere.
However, since entering the third year of Hogwarts and starting to add elective classes, the number of classes has increased dramatically, and the schedule of young wizards has not been so easy - the afternoon class time has been extended to six o'clock, which has become two full large classes. The end time of the evening class was correspondingly extended by half an hour.
Potions is one of the most important majors, and it has to deal with the curriculum of the entire seven years of Hogwarts. As a result, Snape was fully booked every day from Monday to Friday, and he had no time to spare until six p.m. every day.
"Of course, I'm well aware of Severus's pressure on your teaching. So my suggestion is to add a few more sessions on weekends......"
Dumbledore nodded, smiled like a demon in Elena's eyes, and said unhurriedly.
"Wait?!I have an opinion!"
Sensing Dumbledore's sinister intentions, Elena's eyes opened, and she didn't have time to chew on the baked snail in her mouth, swallowed it in one gulp, and hurriedly raised her hand to interrupt.
"That doesn't make sense, and not to mention Professor Dumbledore, you don't have the right to deprive me of my weekend break. You know, Professor Snape has been working hard for a whole week, and you need to give people some time to rest. ”
In any case, there is absolutely no precedent for such an anti-human, anti-social, and anti-moral and conscientious thing as weekend make-up classes.
Based on Elena's knowledge of Snape, it would be more reliable for her to take a shot at Potions herself than to expect the introverted Potions professor to dispute Dumbledore's arrangement.
Thankfully, she's not alone—alliances between demon kings are always fragile and hard to break.
Elena gritted her teeth, and reluctantly pushed the last cheese baked snail in her hand forward, and placed it in Grindelwald's hand, which was obviously more of a contract than bribing Dumbledore.
"On this point, I agree with Miss Kaslana. ”
Grindelwald looked at Elena with a painful face, and shook his head - what a naïve and greedy little guy, and I don't know if she starved to death in her previous life, otherwise why she was so obsessed with eating.
Would you like to live a few more decades and see what kind of bizarre magical world they would unfold into by putting all their bets and hopes on such a little girl?
In Elena's incredulous eyes, her "titular grandfather" Grindelwald smiled and stretched out his hand, pushed the last cheese baked snail back in front of the white-haired dumplings, slowly stood up, patted Dumbledore's shoulder with his right hand stained with sauce, and whispered.
"I think it's better to leave the weekends to the professors and students...... Albus, sometimes your requests are a bit impersonal, and you know, not everyone is as good as you. ”
"Huh?"
Dumbledore raised an eyebrow in surprise, which didn't seem quite the same as the previous agreement.
However, he didn't think Grindelwald would be kind enough to take the initiative to discipline and restrain this troublesome little witch - as long as the two of them didn't get involved and did things together, Dumbledore would be very happy.
"But ......"
Grindelwald paused, and walked over to Snape's magical timetable to study it.
"I'd suggest Professor Snape try to add an extra Potions assistant to the second class in the afternoon—in my opinion, Elena Kaslana is a very good fit. ”
