Chapter 020 Agree to the conditions of travel
"Soon!" Catherine took it and held out her hand to Snape at the same time, "Professor, it's over for the time being, why don't you take a break from afternoon tea?" β
"It's fine." Snape couldn't help but turn his neck, and in order not to make a mistake, he held the same position for almost four hours.
"I happened to bring some snacks." Dumbledore pulled out his refreshment cabinet from his pocket and drew his wand and began to set up tables and chairs, boiling water for tea.
"Humph!" Snape glared at the old headmaster, who he had already cooked, and sat down on his couch with his eyes closed.
Catherine used the Flying Charm to summon the tools she needed, and she modified it directly, and since there was really no technical content, when the water boiled, she got it ready.
"It's really fast!" Dumbledore tapped his wand, the teapot poured tea automatically, and the filled teacup automatically jumped in front of Catherine and Snape.
"It's over!" Catherine took a big sip from the teacup in front of her, leaning back in her chair and exhaling slowly, they were really tired these days.
Dumbledore saw that Catherine and Snape didn't want to chat, so he had to drink tea and use his magic to activate his address book, and then he heard it sound incessantly.
"Turn it off!" Snape snorted, Dumbledore quickly opened the address book, and then he was stunned, he didn't even care about drinking tea, and directly used magic to return the message to the beginning of the section, and quickly browsed it.
Dumbledore was rarely quiet, and Catherine and Snape hurried to rest, because according to previous experience, when he spoke again, there would be absolutely no good thing.
"You'd better take a look at the address book!" Dumbledore swept through most of the messages in one breath before resuming his tea. It's just that the tea is already cold.
Dumbledore flicked his fingers, and his teacup automatically jumped back into the tray. The teapot also automatically jumps to the stove to heat.
Snape pulled out his address book, and immediately saw the silver snake on the cover writhing. A fidgety look, while Catherine's one glowed with a dazzling silver light.
There are three ways to leave a message in the address book, sound, glow, and animation, and the SG team chose to let it glow in order not to affect the class; In order not to be disturbed when making potions, Snape had to choose animations that had no effect; Only Dumbledore, who was "idle, fine", chose the beeping sound.
It was precisely because of this that Catherine and Snape, who were so busy that they almost forgot to sleep and eat, did not notice the movements of the SG group.
Catherine and Snape weren't surprised by the comments that swiped the screen as soon as they were opened, after all, the purpose of the hasty upgrade was to make it easier for Harry to share his trip to the Americas with others.
Some of the words that appear frequently in it. For example, Africa, the pyramids, etc., immediately aroused the alarm of the two, especially after seeing the message just published by the SG group, Snape immediately angrily scolded the six children in the address book, and Dumbledore even added fuel to the fire by interjecting a few sentences from time to time, which made the Potions professor's anger even more intense, until Catherine suddenly interjected.
It's not impossible to go to Africa, as long as you can provide a safe feasibility report. - Catherine
The six children who had been scolded were immediately brought to life, and Gryffindor released the itinerary and the resting places and transportation along the way. Slytherin, on the other hand, detailed the dangers and countermeasures that might arise at each site, and it was clear that they had put a lot of effort into preparing materials to persuade Catherine in order to facilitate the trip to Africa, because they knew it. As long as Catherine agrees, then she will naturally take action to settle all the adults who oppose it.
You did your homework well and the materials were well prepared. So I'm not against you going to Africa, but you have to do two things first. I would approve of this trip. - Catherine
After careful study, Catherine finally spoke again.
You said! - Harry
The SG team waited nervously.
1. Handle the mode of transportation from the Leaky Cauldron Bar to Cairo. Requirements: Use Muggle tools only;
2. Since the departure time is set for the 30th, as soon as you arrive in Cairo, you will immediately hold a birthday party for Neville, and the requirements are: A qiΔ preparation means can only be remotely controlled.
If that doesn't work, the six of you go straight back to London, while the rest continue their journey to Africa. - Catherine
Can I ask someone for help? - Hermione
Can you use magic? - Draco
OK! You can do whatever you want, as long as you complete the task according to my requirements. - Catherine
Harry and Ron and I were in charge of the first one. - Hermione
I worked on the second one with Brace and Pansy. - Draco
We look forward to hearing from you all about the good news. - Catherine
When Catherine finished writing, she closed her address book.
"You're just going to let them mess around?" Dumbledore glanced up at Catherine, then at the address book in his hand.
"Don't deny their hard work just because they are underage, give them timely encouragement and support, so that they can learn to rely on their own efforts to fulfill their wishes." It was Snape who answered, the anger on his face had disappeared, after all, he was only afraid that something would happen to these children, so he would scold so fiercely, and now seeing that they were so well prepared, he naturally wouldn't interfere again, so he also closed his address book.
"The Slytherin view of education!" Dumbledore pursed his lips and simply closed the address book, the old headmaster was sure that even if Catherine didn't make a move, Snape wouldn't stop the six little guys, but due to his own experience, he couldn't do as well as Catherine, so the students would always be afraid of him, but rarely respect him.
"Anyway, what the hell were you doing?" Dumbledore put away his address book and turned the subject back to his initial doubts.
Snape leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes again, while Catherine picked up her teacup again and enjoyed the leisurely afternoon tea, and the two of them did not have the slightest intention of solving Dumbledore's doubts.
As for the address book, the SG group discussion has become heated again.
According to Dumbledore's character, such a lively and interesting matter, he will intervene in whatever he says, but his age and identity are there, no matter how funny and unserious it is, it will only make others become restrained, so in the end, he had to let Snape replace him and accompany him.
Truth be told, Snape hated being a babysitter, but the only adults on the tour were Mr. and Mrs. Granger, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, and Mr. and Mrs. Charlie. Weasley, if you add Percy, who turns 17 next month, has only three and a half people who have the experience to protect others, so Snape, as a professor who is a threat to students, can't ignore this.
On July 30th, it was supposed to be the time for new students to enter the big purchase, but today's Leaky Cauldron Bar was occupied by a group of third-year students.
When Catherine and Snape came out of the fireplace, it was a mess, Arthur and Mr. Granger were drinking together, Mrs. Granger and Molly were grabbing a couple of girls to talk to, Charlie was sitting at the table and recounting his days with dragons in Romania, causing Neville and a few other Slytherin boys to exclaim, the SG group of six occupying a large table and nervously discussing something, the twins making trouble, and Percy following them around to put out the fire.
"Good morning! Catherine! As soon as Fred and George saw Catherine and Snape, they turned from the crowd and said, "Good morning!" Professor Snape! They approached Snape and bowed to him very solemnly.
"Please advise me for the next month!" "Harry, they've decided to let you look at us." At the same time, they stood up straight and gave a military salute, "Obey the chief's arrangement!" β
Snape's eyebrows jumped wildly for a moment before he asked coldly, "Do you do what I say?" β
βYes! Sir!β The twins echoed in unison.
"Now sit face to face at that table until I call you." Snape unceremoniously ordered.
βYes! Sir!β The twins answered and did so, which made the messy bar quiet for a few seconds, and then Molly immediately shouted thanks, and Arthur picked up a large glass of butterbeer and pulled Mr. Granger over to talk to Snape, and the other children glanced at him, and they all shrank their necks and turned their heads as if they didn't see it.
"Good morning! Professor Snape! Or do you have a way! Percy gasped as he leaned against the fireplace, "I don't know what's going on?" They've been making a lot of trouble lately, and my mother has been angry, so ......"
"She just kicked them at you?" Catherine asked curiously.
"So to speak!" Percy shrugged helplessly, suddenly stood up straight, looked up and said, "Good morning!" Catherine! This is your letter! He pulled out an envelope from his pocket with a Hogwarts mud stamp, "It was in the notice sent to me this morning, and I wonder if Professor Dumbledore knew I was going to meet you today." β
"He really knows!" Catherine disdainfully despised Dumbledore's frugality in her heart before opening the envelope, which contained a badge with the letter "P" in addition to the new year's book list and Hogsmeade's consent signature sheet, "Prefect badge?" Catherine couldn't help but exclaim.
Although Slytherin's prefect is decided internally, this kind of decision is often not approved by Dumbledore, like Ixissi, who reached the eighth rank when he was in the fourth year, but he didn't get the prefect badge until the fifth year, but Catherine was promoted to the third year this year!
"Congratulations!" Percy solemnly stretched out his hand, "I hope we have a happy year together!" He held his chest up again, and this time Catherine noticed that the badge on his chest had been replaced with the letters "HB".
"Congratulations too!" Catherine smiled and shook his hand, "Boys' Student Council President, that's a remarkable achievement. β
"It's over!" Percy's face turned red, "You're so much better than me!" This is an unprecedented treatment! He sincerely admired that the 14-year-old prefects, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, often saw each other, because one of the two houses was too modest and the other was too lazy to take care of things, but the 13-year-old Slytherin prefect was definitely the only one since the establishment of the school.
