246 The biggest difference between wizards and Muggles
Hogwarts: The Gray Wizard Volume 1 The Dark Wizard's Apprentice 246 The Biggest Difference Between Wizards and Muggles Snape sat behind his desk, resting his chin on one hand, staring at Anton calmly as he told how he entered the time turner.
Things, one after another, one after another, the black eyes are as deep as water.
"I can't figure it out." Anton clicked his finger, slumped down on the high-backed chair, and looked out the window helplessly.
Lupine could be seen in the distance returning from the Quidditch pitch with his students, and before he knew it, it was time to finish class.
"Obviously, you have forgotten the first thing the little wizard did when he came to Hogwarts." Snape's magnetic voice gently drawled. He gently pulled out his wand and tapped the distant place.
shelf.
Several crucibles floated to the experimental table in the middle of the office at the same time. The processed potion materials in bottles and jars floated to the crucibles and poured inside. After a while, flames broke out under the crucibles.
Anton was stunned for a moment, "The first thing...sorting?"
Snape shook his head, "It seems that you have really forgotten that the first thing you need to do is to take a small boat, paddle through the caves in the mountain stream, and cross the Black Lake to finally reach Hogwarts Castle."
"This..." Anton backed away tactically, "Isn't it just to make people remember the hardships of the founder of the school in establishing the school?"
"That's not the case." Snape sighed, stood up and walked to the experimental table, waving his wand to make more potion ingredients on the shelf fly over.
He turned his head and stared at Anton, "Actually, it is used to remind us that wizards are forced to the corners of the world by Muggles."
"Wizards are extremely powerful, and wizards are also extremely fragile."
"Our school allows students to come to school by train. On the one hand, it is to make the Muggle elites who know us think they have control over us. On the other hand, it is also to make them fearful through mysterious magic."
"I can't explain to you the principle of balance here. The only thing you need to know is that the war between Muggles and wizards has never ended."
"This is also the meaning of the existence of the four major colleges. Hufflepuff values tolerance and is responsible for accepting new blood from Muggles. Slytherin's pure-blood supremacy is used to warn everyone not to forget that wizards and Muggles
Natural opposition.”
"..."
Anton blinked, "Is this the way wizards discriminate against Muggles again?"
Snape nodded slightly, "Man-made discrimination is used to pit wizards and Muggles against each other, thus completely separating the two worlds of wizards and Muggles. The deeper meaning of this is that wizards will not be able to do anything because of pride.
Learn how Muggles do it."
"Anton, we all come from Muggle society. I know what you think. But please remember, wizards are wizards and Muggles are Muggles. This is not mutually exclusive."
"Hogwarts is a school of magic, not a Muggle school. If you really want to look at it from a Muggle perspective, please think of it as a military camp. Oh, military school. Yes, this name would be more appropriate.
.”
Anton was completely stunned. He frowned, military academy?
This is not a very appropriate metaphor, but if you add in the above explanation of why Voldemort must be a professor, it seems that many things will make sense.
Snape waved his wand, causing several potion ingredient powders to float and stir, and then threw a cage of rats into the cauldron.
Before the mouse could struggle, floating powder fell down with strange purple-red flames, completely covering the mouth of the crucible.
As a cloud of green smoke emerged from the crucible, Snape counted the time and turned to stare at Anton.
"It seems you can understand what I'm saying, so I'll continue."
"For a magic school like this, it is destined that the position of principal must be held by a powerful wizard, otherwise the consequences will become very serious."
"A powerful wizard can cultivate a powerful apprentice, but it cannot guarantee the overall teaching ability of the school. This is the limitation of wizards."
"This limitation is destined to be irreparable."
Anton disagreed, "Lockhart did a great job."
Snape just chuckled and continued to wave his wand, causing some herbs to float to the experimental table, "Help me deal with it."
He himself also put on dragon skin gloves, took out his knife, and began to handle a cage of toads that had been fed with magic potion.
"You seem to have forgotten how you were affected by the Confusion Curse."
Anton was skillfully slicing the Asparagus stems when he suddenly stopped and said, "You mean?"
Snape nodded, "In the wizarding world, magic is always the most commonly used method. Lockhart cannot handle any magic. As long as someone exerts influence on him, he will lead this school to destruction."
"This is the biggest difference between wizards and Muggles. A simple spell can change all situations in an instant."
"Only the strong can ensure the normal operation of the magic school. You underestimate Dumbledore's role in this school."
"At the same time, you should not have any illusions about Dumbledore and Lockhart running the school together. Magic that targets the weak is hard to guard against. If Dumbledore wants to tolerate running the school with such a weakling, he can only think about Lockhart every day.
Whether you are affected or not, this is almost impossible to do.”
"That's it..." Anton pursed his lips, put the cut slices into a bottle, picked up a bottle of bubbling medicinal solution and soaked the roots, "What a pity."
"What a pity?" Snape sneered.
"Don't you still understand? A weak person is not worthy of being a principal, because it will bring danger. It will bring danger to the school and to himself. This is not just a passive issue, but also a proactive issue."
"Teaching is not Lockhart's first priority. He will be targeted by all interested people because he is weak but in a high position. At this time, his first priority is self-protection, and he seeks self-protection again and again without stopping.
.”
"Like this time."
Snape poured all the processed blood and Anton's sliced materials into the cauldron, took off his gloves, and stared at him, "What do you think the only thing Lockhart can do now?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Anton stared at Snape's cold eyes and suddenly took a breath, "If he wants to survive, he can only seek shelter from the strong. School
The strong man inside..."
Snape nodded, "Voldemort!"
"Voldemort will definitely promise him the position of headmaster and provide him with protection."
"so……"
"That's why there's this Halloween party."
Oh my god~
Shocked me for ten thousand years.
Anton was shocked.
He believed in Snape's judgment more. First of all, there was no need to deceive him because Old Si had just received a favor from him. Secondly, Snape was a veteran who had experienced the most intense level of the first wizarding war.
Have enough vision and experience.
He was even thinking, if that's the case, why did he ask himself to compile "Dumbledore's Wisdom"? To be able to be the principal in the future? Or to paralyze Dumbledore through himself?
Or maybe, after asking himself to tidy up, he finally couldn't wait to succumb to Voldemort's power?
Anton suddenly thought about the night when Voldemort came to him.
Voldemort suddenly started to act. It would not be easy to cast the Imperius Curse on Lockhart. There was no need to make Lockhart surrender, magic could make him obedient.
He is just an ordinary person, why should he understand this? His head hurts!
boom!
Fireworks explode.
In the school's auditorium, Lockhart was dancing in a handsome pink and purple wizard robe.
"Thank you to all the parents for visiting, thank you to all friends from the news media for coming, thank you to all the caring people in society..."
"First of all, I want to apologize to everyone." Lockhart looked at everyone with a smile, "In order to create a good parent-child atmosphere, parents and students have just asked to register and save their wands at the door. Don't worry, we will go out later.
You can collect it at the door later.”
"Of course, we also have some Muggle parents here who don't know magic. You can get a wand after the meeting. Maybe you can use it as a gift to the little wizards who will appear in the family in the future."
"Hahaha, seeing everyone's satisfied smiles, I, the principal, am also very happy."
"Please allow me to introduce you to a legendary and powerful wizard."
He raised his hands gracefully and clapped his hands, and saw that all the walls, doors, and windows of the auditorium were lit up with mysterious magic runes, even on the seats of the teachers.
Then, under everyone's stunned gaze, Filch strolled onto the podium and gently took off his wizard robe.
He was wearing a casual suit and looked inexplicably majestic as a professor.
Filch looked at everyone with a smile. Suddenly, his face began to change, and finally turned into a bald head without a nose.
"It's an honor that I, Voldemort, come to Hogwarts again."
boom!
These words were like a huge bomb in the deep sea, causing huge waves to explode, and everyone was stunned.
Those 'social security figures' sitting in various corners quickly stood up, drew out their wands, and guarded every corner of the auditorium.
With a few sporadic "Expelliarmus" sounds, several parents and young wizards who secretly carried wands were quickly disarmed.
Lockhart smiled extraordinarily brightly, "Are you surprised or surprised?"
"Dear journalists, you will be allowed to use the school's owl to help announce to the world that our great Dark Lord is back!"
