Chapter 10: He's the person I, Fred, admire the most
Time flies by in the process of communicating with the professors of Hogwarts.
Countless candles floated above, glowing and the glow of the cosmic stars on the ceiling illuminating the auditorium.
The professors were all present, and Dumbledore was also wearing a silver-gray wizard's robe and sat on the main seat, except for Hagrid, the caretaker of the Forbidden Forest, and Professor McGonagall, the vice-principal, who needed to pick up the freshmen for a year, and left the table temporarily.
Calvin wanted to sit next to Snape, but the grim look of his senior dissuaded him, and he sat down between Professors Babling and Quirrell, and discussed the ancient magic script with Babling again.
Barblin is grateful to Calvin for saving the day, the cold and reticent Professor Quirrell makes her slightly embarrassed by her talkative nature, and the smell of garlic from Professor Quirrell makes the witch with inhuman blood and unusually clean habits feel uncomfortable.
Soon Professor Sprout on the other side of Bablin joins the conversation, the stocky but gentle witch who has a knack for magical plants as a professor of herbology at school. Calvin pushed the boat and sent the seeds of the magical plants he had obtained in the Far East.
"Professor Sprout, I have here a few seeds of magical plants that I acquired during my travels, yes, precious, but you know I didn't have much time to nurture these cuties before, and you're a real herbalist expert."
Professor Sprout was thrilled by a series of flattering words and precious seeds, and if it weren't for Bablin in the middle, Sprout would have wanted to hug Calvin and give him a few more middle-aged witches.
Snape, who was on the side, caught a glimpse of Calvin circling in the women's pile, snorted lightly, and slapped the cup in his hand on the table: "If you have a flamboyant tongue, you will please women." ”
Calvin was about to explain to Snape when there was a commotion in the distance: "The students are here!" ”
Calvin had to sit down in his chair and sighed in his heart, it seemed that the contradiction with Senior Snape was getting deeper and deeper.
Students in Years 2 through 7 were soon seated in the House under the leadership of Professor McGonagall.
The young wizards who had just started school were excited, and Calvin shook his head, it seemed that these young wizards didn't know what they were going to face next, or rather, the children who had taken the Magical Beasts Conservation class didn't know what was going to happen.
Calvin glanced at the students and quickly looked away. After all, he had been away from Hogwarts for 13 years, and it was impossible for him to be reborn with anyone he knew.
However, the students are also looking at the teacher's chair to see which hapless ghost will teach Defence Against the Dark Arts this year.
"Angelina, see, there's a new professor this year." Gryffindor's third-year student Alia Spinnett looked at the teacher's chair and asked her roommate and Quidditch teammate Angelina Johnson.
"See, that black-haired wizard is so handsome," Angelina put her hands on her cheeks, "Arya, who do you think will be this year's Defence Against the Dark Arts professor?" ”
Arya shrugged: "I don't know, but I don't want to be the handsome wizard"
"Why?"
"Angelina, don't you think it's a shame to let that handsome wizard take on the curse of Defence Against the Dark Arts class?"
"You're right." The two girls laughed together.
"What are you talking about, girls?" Two cool-looking, red-haired boys sat down across from Arya and asked.
"Oh, nothing," Angelina spread her hands and turned her gaze to the faculty chair, "just talking about this year's new professor." ”
"New professor? Defence Against the Dark Arts? One of them looked at the teacher's chair and then excitedly elbowed the twin brothers: "George, who do you think that?" ”
"Merlin's beard, it's the gentleman." George exclaimed, seeing Fred's finger clearly. The two looked at each other with a tacit understanding: "That's Calvin Capet!" ”
Arya looked at the two of them suspiciously: "You know each other?" ”
Fred puffed out his chest proudly: "Of course, Mr. Capet is the person I admire the most. ”
Angelina sighed indifferently and said, "Before the summer vacation, I remember that you said that the person you admired the most was Ludo Bagman. ”
George took out a book full of notes from his bag, opened it to the title page, and showed the author's photo: "Calvin Capet, the youngest master alchemist." "Simple Alchemy for the Family" has been on the best-seller list of the Blotting Bookstore for two consecutive months. ”
Arya and Angelina looked at each other and asked, "Then what class does he teach?" Alchemy? ”
The twins whistled in unison: "Cool, I've got to go to his improvement class." ”
At this time, another red-haired little wizard with a glittering "P" medal on his chest glanced at the teacher's seat, and then said firmly, "He is here to teach the protection of magical beasts." ”
"Hey, Percy, why are you so sure?" George was a little dissatisfied that Percy had punctured their dream.
"George, if you could use your brain, you wouldn't be able to ask this question." Percy glanced blankly at his brothers, "Kettleburn isn't in the teacher's chair today. ”
"Then Mr. Capet might be the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor." Fred was puzzled, causing Angelina and Arya to glare at him.
Percy was a little speechless: "Fred, do you still say that Mr. Capet is the person you admire the most?" Didn't you know that Mr. Capet wrote three books about Fantastic Beasts? ”
"And how do you know?" The twins asked rhetorically.
"Charlie bought his book, and I finished reading it over the summer."
The twins looked at each other, a smile on their lips.
"We also took the Conservation of Magical Beasts class."
"Just get on good terms with Mr. Capet."
"He'll teach us both alchemy."
"If you really can't use Garene, ask him to take lessons? No one will refuse Kim Galleon"
"But where did we get Garon?"
"Use the shares of the store in the future to buy the professor."
"Cool!"
"Cool!"
Fred and George high-fived, causing Percy to look at him: "Just like you, Mr. Capet won't look at you, and the alchemists are very rich, and they don't look down on your pocket money." ”
With the exception of Gryffindor, the other three houses did not recognize Calvin Capet's identity. Indeed, Calvin's fame was mostly confined to continental Europe and North America, but not widely in his native England. After all, who in England would be more famous than Dumbledore, Lord Voldemort and the Boy Who Never Died?
However, this did not prevent the girls of the four houses from whispering about his appearance and comparing him to other old-fashioned, gloomy wizards.
