Chapter 12： Undecrypted conversation

Time goes back to one hour ago.

Snape strode into the principal's office, his face tense, but it was not difficult to see that he was very angry at the moment.

"Principal! Principal Dumbledore!"

Dumbledore raised his head from the table, "Ah~ Severus, what can you do?"

Snape stood in front of him. Instead of sitting down, he kicked the obstructive stool away. There was a table between the two. He asked angrily: "You recruited Felix Hayp into the school to teach. ?what are you thinking!"

Dumbledore put down the book in hand, "Severus, I don't see any problem, Mr. Haipu is very good, his talent is recognized by the magic world, of course, including me."

Snape was quite impatient: "I didn't say that he was not capable enough! I taught him once, and I know what kind of person he is."

"It's true, you once commented on him,'a standard Slytherin'-very high rating." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Snape's face was ugly, "I am not complimenting him."—it was a mockery.

Dumbledore nodded, "We all have a certain understanding of Mr. Haipu, and I also know what you are worried about. Since he is going to teach at Hogwarts, this issue is worth our time. Let's sit down and take your time. Talk." He waved his hand and called the stool back.

Snape sat down stiffly, as if under his hips was not a cushion, but a fire-breathing dragon.

"Pumpkin juice? Tea? Or a glass of butterbeer?" Dumbledore asked, and with each word he said, a cup appeared out of nowhere.

"I don't need it." Snape was very shameless.

"Then a cup of tea, Mr. Haipu likes it very much." Dumbledore put a cup of tea in front of Snape.

But looking at Snape's appearance, it seemed that he had swallowed a fly.

Dumbledore said gently: "Let's talk about it. I also had some misunderstandings about Mr. Haip in the past, but as he grew up, my opinion of him changed. Until recently, I and him After an in-depth exchange, I finally made up my mind to hire him."

"I think you are old and confused." Snape mocked.

"Although I am getting older, I have become more sober over the years. We are always more prone to make mistakes when we are young, don't we?"

Snape snorted, and then said: "That fellow Felix is ​​not a good person. He relied on his strength to do whatever he wanted in school, so much trouble!"

"Do you know how I came here in those few years? Because of him, I almost know most of the pure-blood families in Britain!"

"I can receive their complaint letter almost every day!"

Dumbledore seemed to smile, but he quickly covered his mouth and took a gulp of pumpkin juice. He agreed: "It's true that Mr. Haipu was crazy for power in his early grades, but we all know that there is a reason for this, isn't it?"

Snape pursed his lips and said nothing.

Of course he knew that Felix was in a bad situation at the time, even worse than his own situation at the time, at least his enemy did not come from his own academy.

Dumbledore said calmly: "Minerva once complained to me that the sorting hat does not accurately assign students to the appropriate colleges. She always thought that Mr. Haipu should go to Gryffindor. What do you think?"

"That kid is a standard Slytherin." Snape said the same things in a mocking tone.

"I agree with that." Dumbledore nodded. "Mr. Haip... he is an excellent wizard, extremely brilliant, and one of the most gifted people I have ever seen in my life. He has been pursuing power. , I can see this very clearly. Even though he rarely showed it after the fifth grade, he never stopped chasing power."

"This is true even after graduation, and this is what I was most worried about at the time."

Snape listened quietly. He didn't deny Dumbledore's wisdom. The old man's experience was legendary. He planned to listen first. What made him change his mind.

"He applied to stay in school when he graduated. Frankly speaking, his ability is completely sufficient. Even in the subject of curse, he is better than me. But I still refused, not only because he was too young, but also because he was too young. With ambitions he can't hide in his eyes, I'm afraid he will go astray."

"But fortunately, he followed my advice. After finishing his first year of travel, he settled in the Muggle world and began to study Muggles. It was also at this time that I kept exchanging letters with him."

Snape listened quietly, he didn't expect this kind of experience between the two of them. You know, when he learned that Felix had become a Muggle research expert, his eyes almost bulged out!

"Maybe he's pretending." Snape stabbed reluctantly.

"No, no, Severus," Dumbledore retorted, "I can still see through people's hearts. These are the benefits of living long. Even if I don't rely on magic, I can know what most people think."

"From his enrollment to the present, UU has read and he has not expressed any discrimination against Muggles. On the contrary, he has studied the world of Muggles very deeply, which has obvious evidence in his books. He does not show any discrimination against Muggles. I don’t think wizards are superior, on the contrary, he is constantly drawing wisdom from the Muggle world."

Snape retorted: "I did not say that he discriminated against Muggles, Dumbledore! But his thoughts are equally dangerous. Do you know what he said in the book "How Muggles Think"?"

As if endorsing, he quickly uttered a paragraph: "The theory of descent is also popular in the Muggle world, but unlike the magical world, more and more Muggle countries are abandoning this argument, which is due to their production. The efficiency is hundreds or thousands of times higher than before. Sufficient materials have laid a solid foundation for them to promote education, and those civilians who do not have a good pedigree have shown extremely exaggerated potential to allow the Muggle world to develop at a speed. It's like sitting on a flying broomstick."

Seeing that Dumbledore wanted to interject, Snape continued to recite a paragraph regardless: "In the Muggle world, if the proportion of nobles is one, the proportion of civilians exceeds 10,000. When the ruler is liberated After the civilians, their development efficiency has overcome all obstacles with unstoppable force!"

The whole principal's office became silent.

Even the portraits of the principals who were listening to one side had their mouths growing. These words did not seem to mention the magic world, but simply introduced and analyzed the development process of the Muggle world, but they all insinuated the current magic world.

One of the portraits was filled with righteous indignation, shouting loudly: "This is a betrayal! A betrayal of the glory of pure blood!"

Other portraits also began to twitter.

Snape glanced at the portrait and mocked: "Principal Black, that kid is not pure blood!"
