Different from the noisy atmosphere in the past, the auditorium was relatively quiet today. The students were all staring at the familiar and unfamiliar face on the podium, whispering.
"Haha~" Ivey looked at the strange atmosphere on the rostrum and chuckled.
There is one more person in the restaurant today. Almost everyone has never met this person, but they all know him - Sirius Black.
Maybe it was because he had washed up, or maybe the knot in his heart had eased. Black looked in good spirits. Although he looked a bit older after being tortured by Azkaban, he was still a handsome guy. This posture was in line with the wanted man's appearance.
Ling Shang's image of being extremely vicious is completely different.
The little wizards didn't understand the situation. Why could this murderer sit on the rostrum openly? The principal and professors didn't seem to mind either.
"Aren't you angry?" Neville's eyes flicked back and forth between Harry and Black.
"You'll know in a minute~" Harry said lazily. He didn't know how many people had asked the same question. At first, Harry was very excited to share it with them. But after repeating it a few times, it became boring.
"Gu Gu Gu!" As soon as he finished speaking, the hall was filled with messengers, and countless newspapers were delivered to the little wizard's hands. But this time it was not the Daily Prophet, but one that was relatively unpopular in Hogwarts.
New publication - The Quibbler.
This was the result of the discussion between Ivy and Luna after they sent Tate back. It was the big news he sent specially to express his apology for involving Luna. Luna also accepted it with peace of mind and said she would not pay.
remuneration.
As you can imagine, the news this time broke was much more sensational than Lupine's, and even refreshed some people's views. And Black himself also received countless private letters, the contents of which were basically expressions of his experiences and spirit.
Comfort and worship.
On the podium, Black was having a cordial conversation with Hagrid. The misunderstanding was resolved, and the two became good brothers again. Several other professors were smiling and listening, looking like they were living in harmony.
So why is it said that the atmosphere is weird? Because there is another person - Snape. He is sitting alone in the middle, with no one on either side.
This is not to say that other professors are ostracizing him, but the resentment radiating around him is too strong. Even Dumbledore couldn't stand it and went to sit next door.
"Didn't I say that Blake bullied him the most when he was in school? It doesn't look like it." Even an excellent woman like Betty will inevitably gossip.
"Don't just take it at face value," Ivy said matter-of-factly. Indeed, Snape has been eating silently, which makes people feel less hostile than Lupin. "Look carefully at the pieces of meat on Snape's plate -
The muscles are firm and the muscle fibers are tender, cut into strips, and the cut surface is granular. This shape, based on my more than ten years of cooking experience, is definitely dog meat!"
"Ah - so perverted!" Hermione suddenly came over.
"..." Ivey looked at her speechlessly, "Where is the abnormality? I can tell you that dog meat is a great tonic - it can nourish the kidneys!"
"Kidney replenishment?" Hermione was stunned. "Can't Professor Snape's kidney be replenished?"
"..."
"Eat your pudding." Betty pushed her head back.
"You mean Snape wanted to eat him?"
"It's not just that. The ingredients may have been prepared! We are trying the dishes!" Lu Ping could barely say that he was expressing his anger. Blake was different, he was the naked culprit and mastermind.
"Let's leave early then." Betty was also very clever. Hearing what he said, it would probably be a splatter of blood, so it would be better to run away early.
"Na na - she is indeed my wife, I want to go together~"
The two of them ate their meal in a hurry. "Harry, we have something else to do. Let's go first."
After saying that, he ran out immediately without waiting for Harry to respond.
"What? Hey - wait, I have something to discuss with you!" Harry shouted and chased after him.
Hermione and Ron quickly followed.
Sirius saw this and followed him.
Snape saw this and followed him.
...
"..." In the corridor, Ivey helplessly looked at the two sides confronting each other. Mader - where are you matryoshka dolls? At this moment, he regretted helping Sirius clear his name.
"Your face is still so disgusting!" Snape put his hands behind his back and fired first.
"Your face is still as white as your ass" Blake is also a professional troll
"Hmph -" Snape's eyes turned cold, "Being tortured by dementors for so long still hasn't smoothed out your foul mouth."
"It depends on who is right~" Old God Black said, "It's not so smooth with others."
"That's just right." Snape smiled jokingly and raised his right hand in front of him, holding a book on his thumb. "I have a question I want to ask your opinion on."
He stood the book up, and there were bold words on the cover - One Hundred and Fifty-Eight Ways to Make Dog Meat.
Shaking the book, he said, "Haha~ A recipe published by the Vauxhall Road newsagent shop only costs 50 pence. But the content really opened my eyes - I'm ecstatic!"
Snape grinned from the corner of his mouth to his ears. "As a staple food - not... as the person involved, I can let you choose one yourself. I still have this etiquette."
Then he looked at Iron Triangle, "Although I think it's unlikely, I still have to ask: There should be no dog lovers in the wizarding world, right?"
"You——!" Snape's operation made Harry so angry that he couldn't even speak.
"It's true! Haha——" This may be the first time in Snape's life that he laughs wildly.
"The ingredients must have been prepared," Betty, who was hiding aside, whispered to Ivy.
"..." Ivy rolled her eyes at her. What do you need to say? Maybe water is boiling in Snape's office right now.
"Let's see who is the winner!" Sirius stopped talking to him and took out his wand.
"Haha~ It's just what I want. The book says that fully exercised dog meat is stronger." Snape calmly took out his wand.
The two of them were about to clash with each other.
"Severus~" Dumbledore appeared in time, "Be kind to our friends. Come on, go to the Three Broomsticks for a drink. I have your favorite butterbeer - my treat."
Dumbledore hugged the two of them and left.
"Snape is still so unlikeable," Ron complained.
"It's not his fault." Hermione didn't think so. "After all, they bullied Professor Snape when they were in school."
"Please~" Harry refused, "Hermione, that was just a prank."
"What about Dudley?" Hermione asked, "He has been bullying you, will you like him?"
"...At least I don't want to kill him," Harry muttered, then changed the topic and said, "Let's not talk about that anymore."
Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Let's talk." Ivey is not prepared to stay with these three big enemies for a long time.
"Wait a minute," Harry called him again.
"What are you doing?" Ivey didn't give him a good look.
"Can you tell Dumbledore to let Sirius be our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher?"
"Why don't you say it?"
"Oh - you're not the school director~"
"Did Blake ask for it?"
"Yes." Harry nodded, "He told Dumbledore about it, but the principal didn't agree."
"Haha~ I wouldn't agree if it were me."
"Why?"
"Didn't you see it just now? Do you think they can work together?"
"..." Harry was speechless.
"Beat him! Knock Snape into submission!" Ron suddenly shouted.
"You can win him over with your mouth," Hermione said angrily.
"Good idea." Ivy nodded, "But unfortunately... Black can't beat Snape. You'd better go with Lupin, who has a better chance of winning."
"It's better to go back to class~ Let Dumbledore choose the teacher. He is more thoughtful than us."
...
The next time was meaningless. It was time to go to class and time to have fun. After getting Dumbledore's approval, Black temporarily stayed at Hogwarts. Lupin's early departure caused the Defense Against the Dark Arts class to
Temporarily replaced by Snape.
Snape is a very narrow-minded person, so you can imagine that he took over the class. A good Defense Against the Dark Arts course was given to him, which became the Care of Magical Creatures course. I don’t know where he found all kinds of canine magical creatures, and taught him
Popular science for everyone.
And if you want to learn more about it, just do it. The result is - don’t focus on settings but focus on taste.
Washing in cold water, marinating with aniseed, hot pot with cold oil, etc., all in one step - the depth of knowledge and the high level of it made even Ivey impressed.
He was going to give Snape a plaque in two days - Severus Dog Meat Shop, a time-honored brand in London!
"Made! He's so damned!" Harry yelled after class. Apart from that, there was nothing he could do.
"It seems that Snape studied that recipe very thoroughly." Ivy affirmed the professor's professionalism.
"Ivy!"
"Uh... I'm sorry~ But you don't have to be too angry. Sirius doesn't take it to heart. You should focus on tomorrow's game. Use your strength to defeat Snape's academy and give Black a chance.
A breath of bad breath."
"Hmph~" Harry's attention was diverted as expected, "I will definitely shave their heads tomorrow."
...
The next day, with such emotions, Harry stepped onto the field.
The atmosphere on the court today was extremely lively. Gryffindor House has never won a championship since Ron's second brother graduated. But after defeating Ravenclaw, the little lions are very confident of winning.
Moreover, the students of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are also cheering for the Lion House. This year is the most promising year.
On the VIP stage, all the professors from the school were present. But in the first row, only Snape and Black were sitting. The professors are also good people. It can be said that they have seen their grudges since the first grade. They all understand each other very well.
Make room for both of you.
On the stage, Black was wearing a Lion Garden scarf and cheering with everyone. Snape was also different from usual at this moment. Not only was he wearing a Snake Garden decoration for the first time, but what was even more amazing - he was also holding a bowl of noodles in his hand.
Based on the veins popping out of the corners of Sirius's eyes, Ivy could conclude that the noodles were well cooked.
"Everyone!" commentator Lee Jordan's voice rang in the stadium, "Thank you for your support! Next, let us welcome the players to the stage with warm cheers and applause!"
