Chapter 105 Snape Eager to Try (First Order 1420)
Three days back in time, the principal's office on Sunday night.
Snape, who received the message from Principal Dumbledore, went to the gargoyle on the 8th floor.
"Zizi Honey Honey Candy!"
boom!
Following Snape's voice, the stone beast moved aside, revealing an upward staircase - leading to the headmaster's office.
Soon, Snape entered the principal's room, and looked at Principal Dumbledore who was sitting at the desk and writing.
Snape had no expression on his face, and asked in a flat voice: "Principal, what do you want me for?"
Snape's voice seemed to have awakened Dumbledore. The old man put down the quill in his hand, looked up, and looked at the dean of his school.
Dumbledore seemed to be used to Snape's flat tone, and with a smile on his face, he joked, "Snape, I heard that you have a good relationship with the new professor Lockhart recently."
"It seems that our Professor Lockhart's ability to make friends is very strong."
Hearing Principal Dumbledore's joke, Snape frowned slightly, and asked directly, "Principal, is there something wrong with Lockhart?"
Then
Dumbledore was astonished to find that Snape said eagerly, "If Lockhart has a problem, I'll catch him now."
"Believe in a bottle of Veritaserum, any secret can be revealed."
Well, the magic relics that the other party has mastered must also be revealed.
Hearing this, Dumbledore's face was a little weird, he could perceive Snape's eagerness.
Did Lockhart offend Snape?
Why did it seem like Snape was looking forward to capturing Lockhart more than himself?
So he shook his head and said hastily, "Snape, Lockhart has no problem yet."
"I want to hear what you think of Lockhart first?"
Hearing this, Snape felt a little sorry. With the headmaster's order, he can rest assured and arrest Lockhart.
And don't worry about what the principal says.
However, regarding the headmaster's question, Snape thought for a while and said, "I don't know much about Lockhart."
"However, if you want me to comment, I can only say that Lockhart is a very generous person."
Well, the shot is really big.
The last time he bought banned potions, he spent thousands of Galleons. This time, he got a lot of potion materials for free.
Not to mention that Lockhart later ordered another batch of potions.
It can be said that through Lockhart, Snape made a lot of money.
Hearing Snape's comment, Dumbledore was a little dumbfounded.
Generous!
What the hell did this Lockhart do?
To make Snape judge with generosity.
So he asked curiously, "Dafang, what do you say?"
Snape thought about it, and felt that it was better not to bring up the matter of his selling prohibited potions.
So he said in a deep voice: "I don't know much about Lockhart, but I often hear many students say that Lockhart rewards them with various snacks and magic items in Slytherin House."
But after thinking about it, he added a sentence as if casually: "The reason why he came to me was to refine some Precious potions, and the price was not low."
"So I think he's quite generous."
In this regard, Dumbledore nodded slowly, expressing his understanding.
He also speculated about the reason why Lockhart sought Snape, and sure enough, it was for the potion.
Immediately afterwards, Snape was heard directly asking: "Principal, is this about Lockhart?"
"Or is there something else I need to do?"
Dumbledore said with a smile: "Snape, don't worry, there is nothing serious this time."
"I heard Snape that your relationship with Lockhart is okay, I want you to help me pay attention to his magic research, and to test some of his views on squibs, half-blood, and pure-blood families."
"Principal, are you sure Lockhart is fine?" Snape asked, frowning tightly. "If there is a problem, I personally suggest arresting him directly and administering Veritaserum."
Seeing that Dumbledore was still shaking his head, Snape asked curiously: "Principal, before I try, I need a reason."
After thinking about it, Dumbledore said in a deep voice: "Lockhart is now conducting a magical research. If this research is successful, it will affect the entire necromancer world."
"So, I need to know his attitude towards half-bloods, pure-bloods, and Squibs."
Hearing this, Snape nodded slowly, and at the same time was a little curious about the magic research mentioned by Headmaster Dumbledore.
After asking a few words, I heard some introductions from Dumbledore.
The image of Lockhart in Snape's mind changed drastically.
With Snape's exchange with Dumbledore over, Dumbledore watched as Snape left for business.
Lost in thought.
After entering the inheritance library, he looked for traces of runes.
To his surprise, there was no introduction in the library.
Therefore, he couldn't help being careless.
The world of necromancer has been passed down since ancient times, and one must be vigilant against unknown things.
Because no one knows whether it is a delicious fruit or a human-eating devil.
Time turned back to Tuesday night, Snape's office.
Hearing Snape's decisive answer, Lockhart was a little surprised.
Before he came, he had invited Filius Flitwick, the necromancer who had won many dueling tournaments, to join the dueling club.
To be honest, it took a lot of effort.
After all, the Dueling Club was hosted by him, and Dean Flitwick could only participate as an assistant.
In the end, it depends on the fact that he is also a necromancer from La Wen Keluo, and he has agreed to some conditions from Dean Flitwick.
The opponent officially decided to join the dueling club.
Therefore, for Snape, who has always been indifferent, Lockhart is going to spend a lot of effort to persuade the other party to participate.
Unexpectedly, the other party was so decisive.
At this moment, Snape, looking at the surprised Lockhart, directly proposed his own conditions: "I need a certain right to select members, as well as the right to choose course content."
Well, even though I joined as an assistant, there is no shortage of rights that I should have.
Hearing Snape's conditions, Lockhart thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
Because this seems to be similar to the conditions proposed by Dean Flitwick.
It seems that every dean has a heart towards his own college.
"Snape, let me tell you, Dean Flitwick is also willing to join the Duel Club."
"Sunday will be our first decisive battle course."
"The details, we professors can discuss further in the next few days."
Hearing what Lockhart said, Snape thought for a while and found that it had no effect, so he nodded to show that he understood.
Seeing this, Lockhart had a faint smile on his face, and after chatting for a while, he offered to leave.
Walk out of Snape's office and wander the corridors of Hogwarts.
Lockhart was a little excited in his heart, and found that although his plan had some twists and turns, it went smoothly.
Originally, he held the Dueling Club to get some resources from Hogwarts.
But with Professor McGonagall's very strict scrutiny, and he opened up a new source of income himself, he completely gave up this idea.
But he wanted to make the Battle Club bigger. It would be best to invite all the famous professors in the school, and it would be best for Dumbledore to join in.
On the one hand, it can provide better teaching quality for young necromancers.
On the other hand, he now hopes that the club can serve as a hub for him to have intense discussions with these Hogwarts top masters in various fields around magic and runes.
Well, in fact, Lockhart has not forgotten the original idea:
Create a .hit workers club!
