Chapter Seventy-Six: Professor Snape, Could You Please Step Aside (1/5)
"Is Headmaster Dumbledore in there?"
Later in the evening, William asked the statue on the right outside the door to the headmaster's office, as he noticed that the one on the right seemed to have a lower IQ.
"The headmaster is inside."
"Idiot! We only need to ask for the password, and the rest of the questions don't need to be answered! The statue on the left roared angrily.
"Oh oh, what's that password?"
"Cockroach pile?"
"Wrong password!"
The two statues slowly moved outward, and at the same time, the door to the principal's room slowly opened.
William stared dumbfounded at the open stone door.
Isn't it, you can open it if the password is wrong?
But immediately, William understood why.
For he saw Professor Snape, with a gloomy face, walking briskly out of the Headmaster's office.
Seeing William, Professor Snape asked with a calm face.
"What are you doing here, Friedrich? Are you,"
"Naturally, like you, I want to find Headmaster Dumbledore. Excuse me, I don't know the password. ”
William interrupted Professor Snape impatiently, and then squeezed past Professor Snape, and before the door was closed, he slid into the Headmaster's room.
???
Snape stared at the closed door in a daze, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.
"Password!" The statue looked at Professor Snape and spoke.
"Don't let me catch you, Friedrich." Snape eventually gritted his teeth and left, thinking that William was teasing him.
After the professor left, the statue on the right side of the door of the principal's office whispered,
"That guy couldn't have been a fool, was he? Forgot the password as soon as it came out? ”
"Shut up, idiot! You are not allowed to speak in front of people in the future! ”
"Why! I'll just say! ”
"Is there anything you have come to me so late, William? Want something to eat? ”
Dumbledore first looked at William with some surprise, obviously Old Deng didn't expect that someone would come to him in such a way, and then asked with a smile.
Old Deng, who are you fooling with this surprised face?
I bet you'll notice me as soon as I get up to the eighth floor!
"No, I've eaten a lot of at night. I was just lucky enough to run into Professor Snape.
Actually, I was just about to read the Honey Duke's shopping list. ”
William didn't ask Snape what he had talked to Dumbledore, because he knew that even if he did, Deng Sr. wouldn't tell the truth.
However, it must have something to do with Harry, with Quirrell and with that man.
It's really not easy for Snape to be a double agent!
"Your most trusted person, Rubeus Hagrid, has had a little trouble lately."
William didn't argue with the professor, he went straight to the point as soon as he came up.
"Oh, Hagrid, how is he doing? To be honest, I haven't been to that hut for a while. ”
"Okay, yes, I'm busy hatching a dragon egg."
"A dragon egg? That's pretty rare. It seems that our hunting ground guards have encountered some remarkable adventure during this time. Dumbledore winked meaningfully at William.
Don't talk about it, just play cards with Quirrell, what kind of adventure can it be called!
Really, I haven't read the original?
"So, I'd like to ask for your opinion. Hagrid wants to hatch this little dragon and raise it for a few days, and I think you should know about it. ”
"Absolutely, it's not a big deal. Truth be told, with the ability to hatch a dragon egg on his own, Hagrid has always had a unique perspective when it comes to caring for magical beasts.
Sometimes, I really want him to be the teacher of the Conservation of Magical Creatures class, but Professor Kettleburn is too old. ”
Isn't illegal dragon farming not a big deal?
Can you still be a professor at Hogwarts?
Old Deng, you are a little suspicious of cronyism!
William was really scared when Hagrid went to be a professor in the Magical Beasts Protection class, and he took Lowe out to tell the students!
He could already feel the scene.
"Students, come and see, this is a three-headed dog. You see, how sharp his teeth are, it's so beautiful! And, let me tell you, his teeth are deadly poisonous! ”
I saw Hagrid looking at Lu Wei, who was constantly drooling beside him, with a look of fascination, completely unaware of the students who were trying to retreat a little.
The picture is too beautiful to imagine.
"If you don't, that's great.
However, Hagrid couldn't keep a dragon for a long time, the law wouldn't allow him to do so, and it wasn't safe for Hogwarts students.
Not everyone has the physical qualities of Hagrid. So, can you find a chance to send the dragon away after a while? ”
"It's great that you can think like that, William." Apparently, Dumbledore was pleased that William could think of this.
"Let's let Hagrid raise it for a while, and I'll need to negotiate with the dragon farms in Europe."
Old Deng, can you talk about it like that?
If you want Hagrid to raise it for a few days, just say it directly, and negotiate with the dragon farm about something. With your influence in Europe, isn't that just a matter of a letter?
"Because I do owe Hagrid something, and if I had been able to hold on at the time, maybe he wouldn't have been fired."
It's good that Dumbledore didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, William was even more dissatisfied with the perfunctory style of the British Ministry of Magic.
Myrtle was obviously petrified to death by looking directly into the basilisk in the eye, and others couldn't see the doorway, Dumbledore and the headmaster of Hogwarts at that time, Armando. Dippert, can't you see it yet?
The eight-eyed spider is dangerous, but when did it become petrified? Is there a genetic mutation?
Especially the principal at the time, Dippert, actually wanted to calm down the incident as soon as possible.
You know, Duppert graduated from Gryffindor!
For this reason, Hagrid, who was discovered by Riddle and raised a dangerous magical creature such as the Eight-Eyed Spider without authorization, became a scapegoat.
Not to mention being expelled from Hogwarts, if it weren't for Dumbledore's words, it is estimated that he would not even be able to keep his wand, and everyone would have been captured in Azkaban.
Thinking of this, William looked contemptuously at the portrait of Dippert, who was hanging on the wall and pretending to doze off, behind the headmaster.
"If you don't object, that's great, I'll tell Hagrid about that.
If there's nothing to do, I'll leave first, and it's curfew time soon. ”
"He's not happy with your decision in the first place, Dippet."
After William left, Dumbledore turned to the portrait of the previous Headmaster hanging on the wall.
"That's a stain I can't make up for in my life, Dumbledore.
I bent over and realized that I would never be able to straighten up again. ”
Principal Dippert said with some pain, and it could be seen that he now regretted his hasty decision.
"The truth is, I ruined someone's life. I deserve to be despised by him for this, and I am indeed an incompetent headmaster.
So, don't bend over as easily as I did, Dumbledore.
The boy was a nice boy, and I could tell he really thought of Hagrid as a friend, and you didn't have to be so suspicious of him. ”
