The Hogwarts Professor at Marvel

Chapter 417 Snape's Hesitation, Christmas Party

Hogwarts Great Hall, Christmas Eve Party.

Christmas trees everywhere.The gorgeous candles floating in the sky, and the excited shouts of the little wizards made the atmosphere of the party more and more enthusiastic.

"Yeah, it's a holiday tomorrow, and I'm going to hang out with my family."

"I want the latest toys."

"If only someone gave me a Firebolt for Christmas."

"."

The little wizards excitedly exchanged their Christmas wishes with each other and looked forward to their own 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 little wizards, Professor McGonagall glanced at Harry, Hermione and the little lions of Gryffindor with a faint smile on his face.

"Sprout, Cedric from your academy has performed very well recently." McGonagall said with a smile: "I have earned a lot of academy points."

"McGonagall, don't talk about me." The corner 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.

It's a compliment to Cedric, but it's still showing off Gryffindor.

Can't help but perfunctory: "Harry's performance recently is also very good, he is indeed the son of Lily and James."

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

"Didn't you keep him? I think Lockhart's teaching level has always been excellent."

Hearing this, McGonagall couldn't help but her face froze, her original good mood suddenly slipped, and she said helplessly: "No way, Lockhart left this time for a bigger space."

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

"Then what did the headmaster say?" Spratt asked curiously, "If Dumbledore asks him to stay, I feel that Lockhart still has great hope of staying."

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

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

Chat directly about Sprout's favorite grow room.

When talking about Sprout's favorite work, her attention was diverted.

McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief.

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

For some reason, at this moment, Snape in black robe gave him a feeling of alienation, as if he hadn't seen him for a long time.

Hell, didn't you just meet yesterday?

Snape's breath changed a little bit.

He could even clearly sense the strong and dangerous aura emanating from Snape.

As a dueling master, he still trusts his own judgment very much.

Is it possible that there are some leaps and bounds in magic?

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

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

Flitwick spoke two or three times in a row before he realized it.

"Normal." Snape said lightly and perfunctorily: "It's the same as before, there's nothing to say."

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

All of a sudden fell into silence.

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

Staying at Hogwarts, or Dumbledore's side, would naturally give you more information.

And when you go to a new school, you should do it yourself, which is purely teaching students.

Is it bad to teach students?

An easy job for sure.

Ordinary people don't hesitate too much at all.

What's more, he stayed at Hogwarts before, and the most important thing was that Dumbledore used Lily as an excuse.

Now, that excuse is dead in name only.

Plus, he's now Lockhart's subordinate.

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

but
Based on everything he has experienced over the years, everything is telling him.

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

Like the Dark Lord uses him, it is to see his ability in the field of black magic and potion.

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

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

This made him a little unacceptable.

at this time
"Here comes the principal."

"Here comes the principal."

"I'm about to start."

"."

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

Dumbledore came onto the stage and smiled kindly at the little wizards.

Soon, as Dumbledore reached out and pressed down, the little wizards fell silent.

All the students and all the professors turned their attention to the old man in front of him.

I saw the old man holding his wand against his throat, and said gently with the amplifying spell.

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

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

"And these, let us have a wonderful party, and let us 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 vacation."

"Don't worry, we have already made arrangements for the students who want to go home tomorrow. Christmas must be spent with your family."

Hearing this, all the students applauded very excitedly.

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

"I believe that at such a festive moment, no one should like me, an old man, to say more."

"Next, let our Professor Lockhart present the first program of the evening for everyone."

After the words fell, all the little wizards opened their eyes wide and looked for the trace of Professor Lockhart.

But Lockhart was not seen on the professor's acupuncture point.

Meanwhile, Dumbledore stepped off the stage and sat down beside Snape.

At this moment, suddenly.
hum!
The party was plunged into darkness.

The startled little wizards screamed.

However, in almost two or three seconds, a silver-white spot of light gradually appeared above the lobby.

Looking up, I can vaguely find these light spots are moving slowly, some are sparse and some are dense.

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

"Wow, it's so beautiful, this one looks like a cancer."

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

"Kind of like a hippogriff."

"."

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

Let the little wizards exclaim.

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

They are different from little wizards, they can clearly feel these silver-white light spots, exuding a strong and positive atmosphere.

"The Patronus Charm." McGonagall whispered, "I didn't expect Lockhart to master the Patronus Charm."

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

With Lockhart's strength, it's normal 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 trace of relief on his face.

Regarding Lockhart's series of actions before, he wasn't worried that that was the problem.

Especially the slogan that Lockhart has been chanting - make wizards great again!

It gave him a sense of familiarity, and he was afraid of falling into the previous situation again.

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

Even if Lockhart's path in the future is really wrong, it means there is still hope for redemption.

But he, who was deep in thought, didn't notice the indifference on Snape's face.

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

Just when the little wizards were amazed by the silver-white light spot above, suddenly, the silver-white light spot gradually fell down.

The little wizards opened their hands one after another, and started to catch or lightly hold the falling light spots.

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

A warm feeling enveloped himself, and at the same time his soul seemed to be washed.

All kinds of negative emotions hidden deep in my heart are melted away, and I feel more transparent and comfortable all over, and I feel happy and joyful from the bottom of my heart.

right now
hum!
On the podium in the lobby, a silver-white beam of light emerged.

And the center of the beam of light was the Professor Lockhart that the little wizards were looking for.

At this moment, Lockhart stretched out his wand to his throat, and cast an amplifying spell casually.

"Students, just now was a Christmas present from your professor to you."

"Do you like this gift?"

As soon as the words fell, the little wizards shouted excitedly.

"like."

"like very much."

"Professor Lockhart, thank you for your gift."

"."

After Lockhart heard it, a faint smile floated on his face again.

Immediately afterwards, Lockhart began to wave his wand.

The dots of light floating in mid-air began to quickly gather towards the center.

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

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

Roar!
The lion roared, and the little wizards watched the silver-white lion's transformation intently.

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

In an instant, the lion began to straighten its body, claws towards the ball of light.

At the same time, the ball of light also started to move, and ordinary lions cooperated with it and made all kinds of strange movements, which were quite eye-catching.

For a while it stretched out its claws like a bow, and for a while it threw itself into the air, showing a simple and honest smile, and flying in the air, chasing the light ball and other eye-catching forms appeared one after another.

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 opposite.

At this moment, Lockhart, with his arms open, seemed to be ready to welcome the arrival of the lion transformed by the Patronus spell.

Soon, the young wizards saw that Lockhart, riding on the silver lion, began to walk beside 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 packaged gift box appeared.

Such expectations rose in the eyes of the little wizards.

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

Sooner, Lockhart was back on the podium again.

This time, with Lockhart waving his wand, the silver-white lion painted by the Patronus Charm turned into light spots again, floating in mid-air, and then slowly disappeared.

At the same time, the entire lobby brightened up again.

"Students, the gift boxes on the table are some Christmas presents I prepared for you."

"There are all kinds of gifts in it, including snacks that you like to eat, as well as magic spells developed by 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.

It seems that I like this kind of gift very much.

Professor Lockhart's reputation as a local tyrant, but they have personally experienced it.

At the same time, Professor Dumbledore stood beside Lockhart.

I saw Dumbledore said in a gentle voice: "Everyone, here is a piece of news to share with you."

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

"The next teaching will be taught by Professor Snape in charge of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

Hearing this, the little wizards showed disappointment on their faces.

"Although I will not be your professor soon."

"If the gate is in terms of defense against the black arts, 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 understand, the meditation method I researched is also available."

Hearing this, many little wizards began to look better.

Professor Melohart, it's not impossible.

At least I don't have to do so many test papers in the future.

The senior students thought about it one after another.

Meanwhile, Lockhart had stepped off the stage and made his way to his seat.

Dumbledore, on the other hand, stood on the stage and proceeded to the next project.

The most popular goblin band in the British wizarding world performed on stage.

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

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

"Lockhart, have you decided on the location of your school?"

Regarding Dumbledore's question, Lockhart said with a mysterious smile: "It has been chosen, Headmaster."

"It will surprise you when the time comes."

"Oh, so mysterious." Dumbledore said with a smile: "Then I must go and see for myself."

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

Afterwards, Lockhart and Dumbledore laughed and chatted.

Snape, who was on the side, twitched secretly.

At this moment, suddenly.
hum!
There is an owl outside the window, flying towards the position of the professors.

Then fell in front of Dumbledore.

Seeing the owl and the name of the envelope under his feet, Dumbledore's expression froze.

Immediately afterwards, he reached out to open the envelope and read the contents inside.

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

When Lockhart on the side saw it, he 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 wrong."

"Gellert seems to have taken over the Ilvermorny School in America."
