In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter

"You've been a librarian for almost four years now, right?" Snape stared at Quirrell and said in a flat tone.

Quirrell's body involuntarily trembled, and he stammered back.

"Yes, yes, sir, counting this day, this year, this is already my fourth year working in Hogwarts."

"You should know very well, with your half-blood origin you are not qualified to work in the castle, it was our lord who saw that you have a solid basic knowledge and have respect for knowledge, so you were specially appointed as a librarian, and this is how you will repay our lord's trust?"

Snape's voice was not loud, but it was just enough for everyone present to hear, and after hearing his last words, Quirrell's body trembled even more, he did not hesitate, and eagerly explained the original speech that he planned to give to Barty Jr.

"But, but the restricted book section of the library, especially the part from the third level onwards, is only allowed to be cleaned and inspected once every five years according to the rules, sir!" Quirrell's eyes revealed fear, and he spoke quickly, "I was appointed as a librarian four years ago, the year before I took office, the books in the restricted section were checked by the previous librarian, and there was no problem according to the records at that time, only this week it is time to check again, and I just found the problem tonight, and then I immediately prepared to report it to my superior! "

Snape listened to his explanation, but the expression on his face did not change a bit, the corners of his mouth also showed a sneer.

"Report to the superior? Which superior are you referring to? In the absence of our lord, who is the one in charge of this castle?"

Quirrell was visibly stunned by this series of three questions he asked, in the already single-digit temperature of the night, his forehead unexpectedly beaded with fine sweat because of the tension, stammering for a good while without being able to say a word.

And just when he was in such an awkward situation, a sudden insertion of the voice, helped Quirrell to solve the dilemma.

"Aren't you a little too sensitive, Snape?"

In the dark corridor, Barty Crouch Jr., who always had a faint smile on his face, stepped out of the darkness.

"Although I was not appointed by our lord with any management position in the castle, at any rate, I am also a special commissioner of the Ministry of Magic at Hogwarts, who can directly report to our lord, and isn't it normal for them to think of reporting to me first in case of any emergencies?"

After Barty Crouch Jr. also arrived here, Quirrell and Dolohov consciously shut their mouths completely, in the current scene there is no longer a place for the two of them to interject.

Barty Jr. did only have a Charms class professor position in Hogwarts castle, but all the faculty members in the castle are very clear that his status is very different from other professors.

In the beginning, when Voldemort took control of the castle and decided to divide the students into three Houses, purebloods, half-bloods and mudbloods, he was also considering who to employ as Head of the Pureblood and Half-blood Houses.

At that time, almost all the Death Eaters thought that the pureblood house's head position certainly would be assumed by one of the two, Bellatrix Lestrange and Barty Crouch Jr.

Because these two people can be said to be Voldemort's right-hand man, and not only from the most pure and most ancient pureblood family but also have far more loyalty than all the rest.

But in the end, no one expected Bella was not assigned any nominal position, but still aided Voldemort to indirectly manage the Death Eaters, and Barty Jr. was not even mentioned, while Snape was directly announced as the Head of the Pureblood House, and the sole Deputy Headmaster position, although he was also considered a core member of the Death Eaters back then, his status was far from comparable to Bella and the Barty Jr.

No one dared to show any discontent with Voldemort's decision, but nevertheless, a few Death Eaters and Hogwarts faculty members weren't convinced about Snape obtaining this position.

The main reason for this is not his lack of strength or contribution, but everyone knows that the pureblood house head is a half-blood!

In the current magical world, in which only blood reigned supreme according to the rules defined by Voldemort, the status of a wizard with half-blood origin exceeds that of almost all other purebloods, and he also serves as the Head of the Pureblood House, which is a disgrace to the purebloods, especially the ancient purebloods who have been following Voldemort from the very beginning.

It is said that Voldemort originally intended to let Barty Jr. assume the position of the half-blood house head, but then suddenly changed his mind, and let a witch from the Greengrass family, whose attitude is relatively mild compared to other Death Eaters, become the half-blood house head as well as the professor of transfiguration class in the castle.

As for Barty Crouch Jr., he was appointed as a professor of charms class, and then he was eventually given the title of Ministry of Magic Special Commissioner, which never existed before and answered directly to Voldemort in person.

This enabled Barty's identity in the castle to become transcendental.

The faculty in the castle also formed a slightly bizarre situation, although Snape is the nominal deputy headmaster and has the right to manage school affairs in the absence of Voldemort, the rest of the faculty, even half-blood Quirrell is not convinced by him, and in the state of hearing the words without listening to the message.

As a result, the professor of charms class Barty Jr. who due to his heritage and notorious ruthlessness, possesses the same authority as the actual deputy headmaster even without any nominal responsibility to command, and the faculty below who should report to Snape in the first instance of difficulty also went straight to him.

There are also a small number of professors who just want to teach honestly, including the half-blood head Professor Greengrass who has always been respected by the half-blood students for her friendly attitude even though she is a pureblood.

This balance has been maintained in Hogwarts Castle for six or seven years, allowing Voldemort to keep the wizarding school under control without any trouble, and each year the new graduates of the half-blood students accept the current bloodline hierarchy in the magical world to a very high degree.

After all, their lives are not different from the past, except that they have to hold their noses and accept the privileges of purebloods, and the existence of pureblood professors such as Greengrass let them believe that there are still good people among the purebloods and that only a small group of people will act recklessly because of such privileges, moreover, they can also get back some of the benefits usurped by purebloods from the mudbloods.

As for the mudbloods

The purebloods and half-blood lords are kind-hearted and know that these slaves do not have an easy time, then simply pretend not to see the existence of these people, anyway, the mudbloods are lowly, and seeing them will dirty your eyes.
