The pleasant duel class ended quickly. Black generously gave extra house points to students who performed well, and Scott received the highest score of 10 points.
In general, the first class of the new professor Black was a complete success.
But Scott’s happy mood did not last long.
After dinner, he met the potion professor in a corridor.
“Good evening, Professor Snape.” Scott took the initiative to greet him.
Snape stopped.
He repeated what Scott said in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in a rhetorical tone.
“Did Dumbledore finally make the right choice?”
His unique tone when speaking can always easily provoke others’ unpleasant mood.
“Is this your true evaluation of Black, Mr. Trollope? I have to say that the vision of the genius Trollope is really disappointing.”
Snape stared at Scott with his dark eyes without any emotional fluctuations.
“…”
Why is this gentleman sneering at me?
At this moment, Scott wanted to roll his eyes at him.
Of course he knew that the Potions Professor had long coveted the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, which led him to harbor malice towards any Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor.
Not to mention that it was Black, his enemy.
This was simply a combination of new and old hatreds.
But none of this is my business!
Is he forcing me to take sides?
Scott thought endlessly in his mind.
He was stared at by Snape all the time, and had to answer his questions.
Not wanting to offend Snape again, but not being able to go back on his words and deny what he had said, Scott had to consider what he said.
“I did say that, Professor. After all, the previous professors of this course were not so satisfactory. Professor Black is at least much better than Professor Quirrell and Professor Lockhart, isn’t he?”
“Humph.”
Snape glanced at him and snorted.
“Indeed, if compared with those two idiots, your disgusting words that flatter Black will become reasonable.”
He said this with his chin held high, threw his robes, and strode away.
Watching Snape’s back disappear around the corner, Scott couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that he should be careful in the future and try to stay away from the struggle between Snape and Black, the old enemies.
He is just a Ravenclaw boy, and he doesn’t want to be a cannon fodder in the war between the two Slytherins and the old Gryffindor men.
This difficult task should be handed over to the “savior” Harry who has a close relationship with both of them!
As a “savior”, the burden on his shoulders should always be heavier than that of ordinary people.
Scott just wants to watch the fun and doesn’t like to participate in it.
After that, Scott didn’t hang around in the castle, but returned to the common room, preparing to complete the paper homework for the day in the college library.
When he was halfway through writing his paper, Jacob found him.
“What’s wrong?”
Scott looked up at Jacob, without stopping writing.
Jacob leaned on the bookshelf beside him and whispered to Scott, “Since Lockhart, everyone has understood that they can’t trust the so-called reputation. Well, I just want to ask you what Professor Black is like?”
Scott didn’t look up, “I think many of my classmates have discussed it.”
Jacob said indifferently: “There were many people who liked Lockhart at the beginning. Heroes are always more popular than novelists.”
Scott looked up, “You can trust most Ravenclaw students. We are usually more rational.”
“Then why don’t you give an objective evaluation?” Jacob asked.
“Okay.”
Scott put down the quill.
“Professor Black’s advantages are rich practical experience and good theoretical knowledge. His disadvantages are unstable emotions and lack of teaching experience. In short, he can be competent for this position.”
Jacob thanked him and left with satisfaction.
Scott continued to write his paper. Just after writing a few lines, someone found him again.
“I… I want to thank you.” Savannah was still a little unnatural when she spoke to him.
“Thank you?” Scott looked at her in surprise.
“About my brother,” said Savannah, “we found him.”
Scott was really surprised, “Congratulations.”
He didn’t calculate where her missing brother was at the beginning, but just calculated his condition.
He still remembered the result of his calculation. Although Savannah’s brother Aaron was still alive, his body was sleeping, his consciousness was half asleep and half awake, but his spirit was very active.
Scott once guessed that he might have been hit by some special spell, or it was related to the druid spells inherited by Savannah’s family.
Of course, these guesses were just guesses, after all, he knew nothing about the so-called druids.
“Aaron, is that his name?” Scott asked curiously, “Is he completely awake?”
Sawanna shook her head, hesitating to speak, and finally just said in general: “We just found him, but we haven’t been able to wake him up yet.”
She didn’t tell the specific situation after all, and left after thanking her again.
Scott looked at the girl’s back and suddenly remembered her completely turned into a wolf.
Scott was very interested in the druid’s beast transformation.
It is said that the beast transformation of druids can change into more than one beast, which seems to be superior to the Animagus that can only change into one fixed animal?
He decided to ask the Ravenclaw tutor again on Saturday.
That night, Scott heard Roger muttering in the dormitory, “Today in class, I always felt that Caccini’s eyes were not right when he looked at me.”
His face was full of confusion.
“Of course, not only in class, but also when eating in the hall…”
“Is there anything wrong?” Eddie asked with a smile, “Isn’t it the look of looking at a heartless person? Just like Miss Mill.”
Scott, who was leaning on the bed and flipping through a book, suddenly felt a thump in his heart when he heard Roger’s words.
He remembered the embarrassing incident when he was blocked by Caccini in Diagon Alley in the summer vacation while facing Roger’s face.
He continued to flip through the book calmly, listening to the conversation between Roger and Eddie.
“No.” Roger said in confusion, “A whole summer vacation has passed. I originally thought that Caccini’s dissatisfaction with my breakup would be diluted by time. I don’t know why…”
“You found that she hates you more?” Eddie asked with some gloating.
Milton suggested, “Maybe you should talk to her.”
Roger said hesitantly: “The way she looks at me is really unreasonable. Maybe I really should talk to her.”
At this moment, Scott wanted him to give up this idea, or tell him the truth directly.
But he held back.
He couldn’t ask Roger to cancel the plan to talk to Caccini.
He would never do such a thing as interfering with other people’s feelings. It was not in line with his character.
He couldn’t tell Roger the truth directly.
During the summer vacation, he sneaked back to the UK and did some very dangerous things. To be on the safe side, he couldn’t let anyone know that he had been to the UK during the summer vacation.
Let this matter become a complete unsolved case.
Finally, Scott thought very single and a little guilty.
Happy National Day!!!
I relaxed a little during the holiday today, so there are only two updates.
We will resume posting three updates a day starting tomorrow.
