Train to Another World

Chapter 487 Accountability

Snape was in a good mood after finally ending his confinement. He even ate a few more pieces of toast for breakfast. While eating, an owl flew to his dining table.

A letter was thrown in front of him. When he picked up the letter, he saw the unique wax mark of the Malfoy family. Snape opened the letter and found that it was indeed sent by his old friend Lucius Malfoy.

Lucius first asked Snape about his recent situation in the letter. Snape knew that this was just a courtesy he was used to when writing letters, so he skipped it directly.

After skipping a long paragraph of courtesy, Snape finally saw the text on the back of the letter. There were only two lines in the text. One was that Snape asked Lucius to check Li Zhuoguang's family background, but Lucius had no clue at all.

Their Malfoy family only had some connections in the British Isles, and it was a bit out of reach in the Far East. Although he sent many people to contact local forces to help investigate, he could not find any clues. The other party seemed to have jumped out of the cracks of the stone.

The second thing was that Lucius tactfully asked Snape if he could put his son in "confinement", preferably the same kind as Li Zhuoguang.

Snape did not want to waste this kind of time at all. The reason why he agreed to teach Li Zhuoguang was only because the other party had something he wanted. This was a deal.

But then he waved at Malfoy and asked him to come over. Lucius at least spent money and effort to help him investigate things. If he didn't give him any face, it would not be justified.

Seeing Malfoy approaching, Snape showed Malfoy the back of the letter: "This is your father's request. After Christmas, you come to me every Friday night...'confinement'."

Malfoy felt that the sky was about to fall. He told his father that Snape was tutoring Li Zhuoguang just to let him know about this relationship. But he definitely didn't want to attend the same training class as Li Zhuoguang, and the training teacher was Snape.

But facing Snape, Malfoy didn't dare to say anything, and could only return to the long table with a pale face.

The things here were not hidden from the other people who were eating at the staff seat. Seeing that Snape accepted another apprentice, Flitwick reminded him implicitly: "Professor Snape, as a potion teacher in the school, you might as well give more guidance on the knowledge of potion classes when you put students in detention."

Snape looked at Flitwick in surprise. Isn't this what he did when he put students in detention normally? For students with less talent, he asked them to handle the raw materials, and for students with better talent, he asked them to brew potions.

Snape didn't know why Flitwick came to tell him this now.

But he still agreed casually: "Thank you for your advice, Professor Flitwick."

Flitwick shook his head slightly at McGonagall. From Snape's expression, he could see that Snape didn't understand his hint.

Next was McGonagall, who went further, saying, "It seems that Li Zhuoguang was put in detention at the beginning of the school year. I wonder if his potion grades have improved."

When Snape heard this, he felt bad. He tightly grasped the fork in his hand. He didn't know where the news leaked out. How come so many people knew that Li Zhuoguang refused to learn potion knowledge from him?

As a potion master, doesn't he have any face?

"He seems to lack talent and interest in this area, so I didn't give him any guidance in this area." He said casually, and then made up for himself: "But he is quite good in other aspects, such as spells, transfiguration, dark magic... defense, etc., and he has made rapid progress."

Now it's the other teachers who are in a bad mood. You are just hitting me in the face, admitting that you are overstepping your authority and teaching students across disciplines. The first reason why Hogwarts was established was to protect young wizards in that dark age.

The second reason is to end the apprenticeship system, so that some precious knowledge will not disappear in the long river of history due to the interruption of inheritance.

Now you, Snape, actually want to reverse the situation?

Snape saw that the other teachers had wooden faces and thought that they didn't believe what he said. In fact, he didn't believe it either. With only one night of "confinement" every week, several main subjects have made great progress. Geniuses also have to follow basic rules.

So he continued: "Although it's a bit exaggerated to say this, he has mastered the content of the courses from grades one to seven, and even learned the Patronus Charm."

McGonagall asked: "Professor Snape didn't teach any knowledge of potions? Then when do you plan to teach?"

Snape frowned: "There are potions classes every week. In potions classes, I won't let him learn other things that are not related to potions..."

At this point, Snape also found that other teachers were glaring at him. He realized that he had finished all the classes from grades one to seven, so what should others teach?

If one day, Li Zhuoguang achieved great success, such as winning the Order of Merlin, what should he say in his speech? Thanks to Professor Snape, his teacher of potions, spells, transfiguration, and defense against the dark arts, as well as other professors.

Quirrell was no longer as cowardly and stuttering as usual. He said calmly, "Professor Snape is really good at planning time. He specifically excluded the content of the potions class so that it would not take up the time of 'detention'."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the other teachers did not speak, but just ate breakfast with their ears perked up. In fact, they had heard about this matter, but they did not expect it to be brought to the table today.

But anyway, Snape only taught the main courses, such as astronomy, herbal medicine, and magical creature protection, so other professors can still sit here and eat melons instead of being held accountable.

Snape did not speak, and buried his head in his breakfast. What could he say? What to teach Li Zhuoguang is not based on what he wants to teach, but on what Li Zhuoguang wants to learn.

No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one look!

He even taught melons, and he had no choice.

In the following days, Li Zhuoguang suddenly found that he was being taken care of specially. After each class, he would be kept by the professors to teach some things that were not in the textbooks.

But he was also happy with it. Who would complain that his skills were too diverse?

Especially in today's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Quirrell just recited the textbook verbatim, but after class, his stuttering suddenly stopped.

Li Zhuoguang was specially kept to teach several offensive magics with a vague boundary between black and white magic. Li Zhuoguang knew that this was the private teacher Fu's online.

All the teachers breathed a sigh of relief after the special class. It seemed that Snape only taught the knowledge in the textbook, and the stock they had could still teach Li Zhuoguang for a few years.

Just when everyone was happy, there was one person who was not very happy.
