From Azkaban To Hogwarts

When William withdrew his attention from the frightening ceremony, there was already one less professor at the faculty table.

William, who couldn't get into the professors' conversation for a while, curiously calculated who had disappeared based on the professors who were still present, but was surprised to find that the missing professor seemed a bit familiar to him.

It was Snape, the Potions Professor, an unlucky guy who had something stolen and was beaten unconscious by a student - at least that's the information William knew so far.

"Where is Professor Severus Snape?"

William asked Lockhart quietly.

"Are you asking that old bat? (Note 1)"

Lockhart lowered his voice, as if he didn't want his voice to be heard by other professors.

"Professor William, I have to tell you that when I was in school, Hogwarts had the most unpopular professor, and that professor has retained this title to this day. Guess who that professor is? one?"

Lockhart smiled his customary smile, his true teeth shining brightly in the candlelight.

"Least popular?"

"Of course, not everyone can win the "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award five times like me. He has been seeking the position of black - cough, wizard self-defense magic learning professor, but even when I took up the position of Huo Even then, he failed to get what he wanted."

Lockhart said smugly: "I will not fail like him. I am an honorary member of the Defense Against Dark Arts. The teachers and students of Hogwarts will cheer for my courses!"

'The co-author of Professor Snape who is so unpopular? No impression. Intelligence collection failed. Also, although this Professor Lockhart seems arrogant and looks like he is here to sell books when he comes to Hogwarts, he might have unexpected skills. Those awards can't be fake, right? ’

William simply complimented his new colleague - life in Azkaban meant that William was not a novice at this.

The compliment from his colleague obviously made this man extremely happy, and he opened his eyes like a peacock.

"Let me tell you, most of the professors in the school know me. I left Hogwarts less than ten years ago. When I came to school, Snape was not even a professor."

"Not a professor?"

"Yes, no, I was a student at that time. I remember clearly. I enrolled in school in 1975. At that time, Snape was four years older than me. Tsk tsk. If I hadn't really been unwilling to speak ill of my classmates, I can even vividly tell the story of how Snape was hung there by his classmates."

But now you have almost revealed everything.

William believed that if Professor Snape heard the conversation just now, he would never feel the slightest bit relieved that Lockhart kept his secret.

But Lockhart was very excited to continue talking, and his desire for expression had only just been aroused at this moment.

"I was born in Ravenclaw, so I'm not very familiar with the people in those two houses. But Snape was one of the two disgraced people at that time. When he was hung up by the Gryffindor people, one of them was willing to help him. None of the Slytherins."

Therefore, it is best if your colleagues are not in the same school, otherwise you will not know how much of your dark history the other person knows.

William felt that judging from the long list of words just now, if he were Professor Snape, he would probably have initiated a duel with the nonsense talker.

At this time, a new student happened to be assigned to Ravenclaw, which happened to attract Lockhart's attention.

He stood up and congratulated the new student.

The little witch who was sorted into Ravenclaw blushed instantly. She almost forgot to return the sorting hat and rushed to the Ravenclaw table. Then she pulled a girl of about the same age and whispered something - He looked very much like a fan who had just received a signed photo.

Looking at this scene, William remembered the other identity of this new colleague who seemed to be a bit boastful - the author of a free book, or an adventure novel based on his own experience.

‘Am I the best person at this table? ’

William couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Thinking of this, William couldn't help but feel a little anxious - he and Hagrid drank a lot of wine in the afternoon, and his mind wandered and he didn't know why it was like this.

"Sorry, I have to go out for a while."

William walked around to the door of the hall from where no one was paying attention. He was not familiar with Hogwarts Castle, so he could only choose a few toilets he remembered to solve the problem.

But when he turned the intersection, William saw two strange figures, shuffling, carrying boxes, and short - this reminded him of the time at noon when he had to leave the train to buy a double copy of Knight Public. Reasons for car tickets.

"Eh? Are you a new student?"

William grabbed the wand with one hand, ready to pull it out at any time, and asked in an unusually relaxed tone.

Although he was most likely a new student, considering the reason for the curse, he still took precautions against possible accidents.

The two shuffling figures stopped, and then William spotted the third figure—Professor Snape walking at the front.

"Oh? Professor William, I think you should be at the opening ceremony at this time, not here."

In the first sentence of the formal conversation, William instantly understood why this professor was so unpopular in Lockhart's mouth.

"I got off the Hogwarts Express specifically for these two students at noon, and then made a special trip to King's Cross Station. Now I see these two students coming over to ask, is there anything I can't say that I can't say?"

We haven't met each other before, what do you think of our first meeting?

If the newcomer in Azkaban is so easy to be instigated, he can basically take care of all the work in the entire cell - William was not so aggressive originally, but after coming out of Azkaban, he was the first to The reaction is to push back without being soft or hard.

"I'm Potter's professor!"

"It's not a coincidence. Me too. I thought you were the dean, but when the students reported in at noon, I remembered that they were from Gryffindor?"

William felt a pair of cold eyes on the opposite side look over, and there was no almost crazy look in his eyes - that was what William often saw in the eyes of prisoners who had just been imprisoned.

'what happened to him? Are you so eager to punish students that you lose your normal judgment, so you order me like you lost your mind? ’

While thinking about it, William pretended to take out his wand casually - thinking back to himself, if he was knocked down by another professor in front of the students, he would not be able to stand still.

"Okay, very good. Then please ask Professor William to come and look after Potter and the others. I'll find someone who can take care of them."

Contrary to William's expectation, the conflict did not continue. Professor Snape quickly left the aisle and walked towards the auditorium on one side.

Note: Snape studied from 1971 to 1978. He returned to school in 1981 to find a job as a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, but he was unable to find a job as a Potions professor.

Lockhart studied from 1975 to 1982, so he happened to have experienced both.
