Hogwarts professor mixed in Marvel

Chapter 417 Snape’s hesitation, Christmas party

Hogwarts Great Hall, Christmas Eve Party.

Christmas trees could be seen everywhere, gorgeous lights and candles were floating in the sky, and the excited shouts of the little wizards made the atmosphere of the party even more lively.

"Yeah, I have a day off tomorrow. I want to go out and play with my family."

"I want the latest toys."

"It would be nice if someone gave me a Firebolt for Christmas."

"."

The little wizards excitedly exchanged their Christmas wishes with each other and looked forward to their gifts.

For them at this age, there is no need to study, and the holiday itself is a kind of happiness.

Looking at the excited and lively little wizards, Professor McGonagall glanced at Harry, Hermione and the Gryffindor little lions, with a faint smile on his face.

"Sprout, Cedric from your academy has been doing very well recently." McGonagall said with a smile, "He has earned a lot of academy points."

"Meg, stop talking about me." The corners of Sprout's mouth twitched slightly.

Who doesn't know that Hermione from Gryffindor has been very active in class recently and earned a lot of student points.

He said he was praising Cedric, but actually he was showing off to Gryffindor.

He couldn't help but said perfunctorily: "Harry's performance recently has also been very good. He is worthy of being the son of Lily and James."

Then, without waiting for Mag to speak, Sprout changed the subject: "By the way, Mag, I heard that Lockhart is leaving."

"Didn't you retain him? I think Lockhart's teaching skills have always been excellent."

Hearing this, Mag couldn't help but froze on his face, and his original good mood suddenly slipped, and he said helplessly: "There is no way, Lockhart left this time for a bigger space."

"Besides, a principal of a magic school is definitely more attractive than the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

"Then what did the principal say?" Spratt asked curiously: "If Dumbledore tries to persuade Lockhart to stay, I feel there is still a high chance that Lockhart will stay."

Hearing this, Mag shook his head slightly and did not continue.

It seems that I don't want to continue talking about this topic.

Let’s talk directly about the growing room that Sprout is most proud of.

But when she talked about Sprout's proud work, her attention was suddenly diverted.

Mag was relieved.

At this time, Flitwick looked at Snape next to him, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

For some reason, Snape, who was wearing black robes, gave him a feeling of alienation, as if he hadn't seen him for a long time.

Damn it, didn’t we just meet yesterday?

Snape's aura changed quite a bit.

He could even clearly sense the strong dangerous aura emanating from Snape's body.

As a duel master, he still has great trust in his own judgment.

Is it possible that there has been any rapid progress in magic?

"Snape, how are you doing?" Flitwick asked tentatively.

At this moment, Snape was a little absent-minded. Although his eyes were staring at the opposite side, he was lifeless, as if he was thinking about something.

Flitwick spoke two or three times before he could react.

"In general." Snape said nonchalantly: "Same as before, there is nothing to say."

Hearing this, Flitwick seemed to be choked and opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say.

Silence fell all of a sudden.

At this moment, Snape was hesitating whether to continue staying at Hogwarts or to go to the new school with Lockhart to teach.

If you stay at Hogwarts, or stay with Dumbledore, you can naturally get more information.

When you go to a new school, what you should do is purely teach students.

Isn’t it good to teach students?

It must be an easy job.

Most people don't have much hesitation at all.

What's more, the most important reason why he stayed at Hogwarts was because Dumbledore had Lily as an excuse.

But now, this excuse is dead in name only.

In addition, he is now Lockhart's subordinate.

It was normal for him to go to the new school with Lockhart to teach.

but

Tell him everything he has experienced over the years.

The so-called employment is nothing more than looking at the special value of this person.

Like the Dark Lord using him, I want to see his ability in the fields of black magic and potions.

And now, if he follows Lockhart to teach at the new school.

This undoubtedly shows that his value is reflected in teaching students and refining potions.

This was somewhat unacceptable to him.

at this time

"The principal is here."

"The principal is here."

"I'm about to start."

"."

The cheers of the little wizards caught Snape's attention.

I saw Dumbledore walking onto the stage and smiling kindly at the little wizards.

Soon, as Dumbledore stretched out his hand and pressed down, the little wizards fell silent.

All students and professors all fixed their eyes on the old man in front of them.

I saw this old man holding a wand, putting it against his throat, and speaking gently with an amplifying spell.

"It seems that everyone enjoyed today's party very much. All the professors, including some senior students, participated."

"It can be said that it is the result of everyone's joint efforts."

"And these allow us to have a wonderful party and also allow us to better welcome the arrival of Christmas."

Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Of course, I know that what you are looking forward to more is tomorrow's holiday."

"Don't worry, we have made arrangements for the students who want to go home tomorrow. We will definitely let you spend Christmas with your family."

Hearing this, all the students clapped excitedly.

After a while, when the applause gradually subsided, Dumbledore spoke again.

"I believe that no one likes me, an old man, to say anything at such a festive moment."

"Next, let our Professor Lockhart present the first program of the party to you."

As soon as the words fell, all the little wizards opened their eyes wide and looked for traces of Professor Lockhart.

But Lockhart was not seen on the professor's acupoint.

At the same time, Dumbledore walked off the stage and sat next to Snape.

At this moment, suddenly.

Buzz!

This party was plunged into darkness.

The little wizards screamed in shock.

However, in just two or three seconds, silvery-white light spots gradually appeared above the lobby.

Looking up, I vaguely noticed that these light spots were moving slowly, some were sparse and some were dense.

At first glance, it looks like a galaxy in the sky.

"Wow, it's so beautiful. This one looks like a giant crab."

"No, it's a bit like a dragon."

"Kind of like a hippogriff."

"."

The silver-white light spots above the lobby slowly changed, and various magical creatures began to appear.

Let the little wizards exclaim.

At this time, the professors on the side had a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Unlike the little wizards, they can clearly feel these silver-white light spots, which exude a strong and positive aura.

"The Patronus Charm." McGonagall whispered, "I didn't expect that Lockhart also mastered the Patronus Charm."

Flitwick and Spratt also stared closely at the changes in the light spots above. There was a hint of surprise in their eyes, but they took it for granted.

With Lockhart's strength, it is normal for him to master a spell of this level.

Unless it's a dark wizard.

At this time, Dumbledore looked at the Patronus Charm above, with a hint of relief on his face.

Regarding Lockhart's previous actions, he was not worried that there would be a problem.

Especially the slogan Lockhart has been chanting - Make Wizards Great Again!

It gave him a sense of familiarity, fearing that he would fall into the same situation again.

However, a wizard who can master the Patronus Charm must have good intentions.

Even if the path Lockhart takes in the future is really wrong, it shows that there is still hope for recovery.

However, he was so lost in thought that he did not notice the indifference on Snape's face.

In other words, Dumbledore was used to Snape's indifference.

Just when the little wizards were surprised by the silver-white light spots above, suddenly, the silver-white light spots gradually fell.

The little wizards opened their hands one after another and began to catch or gently hold the falling light spots.

They were surprised to find that when the light hit their bodies.

A warm feeling enveloped me, and my soul seemed to be washed.

All kinds of negative emotions hidden deep in the heart are dissolved, and the whole body feels more transparent and comfortable, and I feel happy and joyful from the bottom of my heart.

at this moment

Buzz!

On the podium in the lobby, a silver-white light beam emerged.

The center of the light beam is exactly the Professor Lockhart the young wizards are looking for.

At this moment, Lockhart stretched out his wand and pointed it at his throat, casually casting an amplifying spell.

"Dear students, this is a Christmas gift given to you by your professor."

"Do you like this gift?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little wizards shouted excitedly.

"like."

"like very much."

"Professor Lockhart, thank you for your gift."

"."

After Lockhart heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face again.

Immediately afterwards, Lockhart began to wave his wand.

The light spots floating in the air began to quickly condense toward the center.

Soon, a huge silver lion appeared in the spacious aisle in the middle.

All the little wizards could clearly see the silver-white hair on the lion's body, which was fluffy and very textured.

Roar!

The lion roared low, and the little wizards watched the changes of the silver-white lion intently.

Then, a silver-white ball of light appeared above the lion.

In an instant, the lion began to straighten its body and grab the ball of light with both claws.

At the same time, the ball of light also began to move, and the lions cooperated with it to make various strange movements, which were quite eye-catching.

Sometimes it extends its claws like a bow, sometimes it flutters into the air, showing a simple smile, and sometimes it flies into the air, chasing light balls, and other eye-catching forms appear one after another.

It added a lot of fun to the party.

When the little wizards saw it, they also laughed out loud.

Immediately afterwards, the white lion walked steadily down the corridor, heading towards Lockhart on the opposite side.

At this moment, Lockhart opened his arms, seemingly preparing to welcome the arrival of the lion transformed by the Patronus Charm.

Soon, the little wizards saw Lockhart riding on a silver lion and starting to walk next to them.

Every time you pass by a table of little wizards, take out your wand and tap it lightly.

In the center of the table, a beautifully wrapped gift box appeared.

Such expectations rose in the eyes of the little wizards.

Soon, as Lockhart rode the silver lion around, the exquisite gift box appeared on the table of every house.

Even faster, Lockhart returned to the podium again.

This time, as Lockhart waved his wand, the silver-white lion painted by the Patronus Charm once again turned into a point of light, floating in the air, and then slowly disappeared.

At the same time, the entire lobby became bright again.

"Dear students, the gift boxes on the table are some Christmas gifts I prepared for everyone."

"There are all kinds of gifts inside, including your favorite snacks, magic spells I developed myself, and even some strange magic items."

"After the party is over, you can open it yourself and see what you got."

Hearing this, the little wizards shouted excitedly again.

She seems to like this kind of gift very much.

Professor Lockhart's reputation as a rich man was something they had experienced firsthand.

At the same time, Professor Dumbledore stood next to Lockhart.

Dumbledore said in a gentle voice: "Dear students, I have a piece of news to share with you."

"Professor Lockhart will resign as Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts after Christmas."

"Professor Snape will be in charge of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the following teaching."

Hearing this, the little wizards all had disappointed looks on their faces.

"Although soon I won't be your professor."

"If the gate is in terms of defense against dark magic, what doubts do you have?"

"You can write to me directly and I will share my thoughts in the letter."

"Of course, if you want to know more about it, the meditation method I developed is also available."

After hearing this, many little wizards began to look better.

Professor Melohart, it's not impossible.

At least I won’t have to do so many test papers in the future.

The senior students thought about it one after another.

At the same time, Lockhart had already walked off the stage and sat down in his seat.

Dumbledore, on the other hand, stood on the stage, working on the next project.

The most popular goblin band in the British witch world took the stage to play.

As the goblin band played lively music, the atmosphere of the entire party began to become more intense.

At this moment, Dumbledore was sitting next to Lockhart, communicating in a low voice.

"Lockhart, has the location of your school been decided?"

In response to Dumbledore's question, Lockhart smiled mysteriously and said, "The choice has been made, Headmaster."

"It will definitely surprise you then."

"Oh, it's so mysterious." Dumbledore said with a smile, "Then I will definitely go and see it myself."

"I will definitely invite you to go. If you don't go to my school's opening ceremony, that would be the real loss." Lockhart chuckled.

Afterwards, Lockhart and Dumbledore laughed and chatted.

Snape on the side looked at him and secretly smacked his lips.

At this moment, suddenly.

Buzz!

There was an owl outside the window, flying towards the professors' position.

Then he fell in front of Dumbledore.

Looking at the owl and the name on the envelope at his feet, Dumbledore's expression condensed.

Then, he reached out to open the envelope and read the contents.

At the same time, his face became more and more solemn.

Lockhart on the side saw it and was a little confused.

Soon, Dumbledore put down the envelope in his hand and said in a deep voice to Lockhart beside him.

"Lockhart, something is not right."

"Gellert seems to have taken over America's Ilvermorny School."
