Chapter 958 Snape’s Hearing(1/2)
The next day was the weekend, and it was also the first weekend after Hogwarts reopened. Although there was only one day of classes, the students still looked like they had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Perhaps in order to eliminate the influence of Voldemort as soon as possible, this time it is Hogsmeade Week.
Early in the morning, students in third grade and above eagerly gathered in the foyer, waiting for the professor to take them away.
"How long has it been since we last been to Hogsmeade?" Ron asked slightly excitedly in the team.
"I can't remember exactly." Harry thought for a moment, "It seems that since Voldemort started to act, we are no longer allowed to leave the school."
"This is also for our safety." Hermione said, "Death Eaters may be hiding in Hogsmeade, which is not as safe as school."
"Yeah, it was really depressing at that time." Seamus, who was standing in front, turned around and said, "It's better now. Voldemort is defeated and the Death Eaters have no time to take care of themselves and never dare to come out again, haha..."
"Yeah." Someone said, "Zizi Bee Candy, Bibi Multi-flavored Beans... I almost forgot their taste."
"And Jokowi, I hope they reopen the doors."
"I've got these galleons that can't wait for me to spend them."
Everyone stood together, chatting noisily, discussing whether to buy candy first after going to Hogsmeade village, or whether to go to Three Broomsticks to drink a long-lost butterbeer first.
As for those students who are under three years old, they can only watch and listen.
First and second years are not allowed to go to Hogsmeade. Even war cannot change this rule.
"Oh, why hasn't the professor come yet..." There were complaints from the crowd.
"Quiet, everyone come here!" Filch took a special instrument and scanned everyone who passed by.
This is an instrument for checking dark magic items. Before Voldemort attacked Hogwarts, every little wizard entering and leaving the castle had to be checked by the instrument.
Although Voldemort has been defeated now, the professors have not yet made clear regulations, and Filch has not canceled this step.
After all, this is one of the few opportunities for him to cause trouble for students.
Filch's actions were as rough as ever, which also made the crowd complain louder.
Fortunately, at this time, the professor they had longed for finally entered the castle.
"What are you doing standing here? Hurry up and line up outside and get ready to go." Kyle waved his hand.
He is the leading teacher this time.
The other professors all have serious things to do, but he is the most idle. If he doesn't find something to do for himself, he will probably make everyone angry.
And he also wanted to go to Hogsmeade, so he took the job by the way.
"Wait, the inspection hasn't been completed yet!" Filch shouted immediately as the students began to move outside.
"No need to check." Kyle glanced at him, "And the old antique you are holding. I suggest you throw it back into the warehouse. After that, the students can freely enter and exit the castle as usual. No need to
Any inspection...well, that's it."
There were bursts of cheers all around.
Filch was the only one who was livid, but there was nothing he could do against Kyle.
Although Kyle was a student who had to undergo an examination before entering the castle at this time last year, his status has now become a professor.
Even if it is just an ancient rune professor with the smallest number of students, his words will be more effective than him.
But Filch wouldn't just let it go.
"I will go find the principal!" he said with a cold face.
"Whatever you want, if you can find it." Kyle waved his hand nonchalantly, and there was cheering again.
Afterwards, everyone followed Kyle out of the school and arrived at Hogsmeade noisily.
When they saw those spire huts from a distance, some students subconsciously broke away from the team and ran over at a faster speed.
Seeing that Kyle did not stop him, more students left the team one after another. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, there were only a few honest students left in the team, most of whom were in the third grade.
"As a reward for obeying the rules..." Kyle looked at them and suddenly raised his eyebrows, "If you go to Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes, you can get a 20% discount by saying my name."
"marvelous!"
"You are the best professor!"
…
Several little wizards ran away cheering, but only one person stood there without moving.
"Hermione, do you have anything else to do?"
"Is this what you said, reward?" She looked a little strange.
"Yeah, you don't like it?"
"But I heard Ron say that today is Fred and George's day to celebrate the opening of the branch."
Hermione looked at Kyle and said word by word: "Even if I don't tell you your name, everything is 20% off..."
"But they gained happiness, didn't they?"
Kyle shrugged and said, "I suggest you go buy something... Oh, remember to tell me my name, you will know when the time comes."
After that, before Hermione could say anything else, Kyle walked forward on his own and came to the door of the Three Broomsticks.
He just came here yesterday with Dean Sasia, and he came again today.
After Kyle came in, he glanced around and soon found Kangna, who had come over early, at a round table near the window.
Across from her sat Cedric and Cho.
"Don't worry, I've made inquiries. Professor Snape is very good, and the Auror didn't make things difficult for him." Cedric handed Connor a piece of parchment, "He asked me to give this to you."
Kangna took it and took a look and breathed a sigh of relief, "Then when will he come back."
"I don't know about this."
Cedric shook his head, "Some things cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences... You also know that at the end of the last Wizarding War, many Death Eaters used excuses such as the Imperius Curse to escape punishment.
It turns out this time they were all lying.”
"Of course, I'm not saying that Professor Snape is a Death Eater. What I mean is that the Ministry of Magic's scrutiny has become stricter."
"I understand." Kangna nodded.
Kyle happened to walk over at this time.
"Didn't we make an appointment to meet at eight o'clock? Why are you all here so early?"
"If you look at the time now, you will find that we are not early." Cedric said helplessly.
As expected of Kyle, he was ten minutes late and could still confidently say that they were early.
"Maybe it was the first time I brought students to Hogsmeade, so I wasted a little time..." Kyle took a glass of butterbeer from Ms. Rosmerta, raised his head and took a sip, "I still have to let them
Keeping order is really hard work."
"Maintain order...are you sure?" Cedric looked at Kyle suspiciously.
He thought of when Kyle was a prefect and almost all the work was delegated to him.
Cedric didn't think Kyle would change this habit after becoming a professor.
"It's not important." Kyle waved his hand and took the initiative to change the subject, "How about what you said in your letter yesterday about Snape's hearing."
"I have already told Connor the specific situation." Cedric said, obviously not intending to repeat it to Kyle.
In other words, it's not necessary.
He came to see Connor this time. After all, Snape's hearing had nothing to do with Kyle...at least for now.
On the other hand, Qiu next to him suddenly became nervous after seeing Kyle.
"I'm sorry, I locked you out at St. Mungo's yesterday..." she said with some embarrassment, "I just feel a little embarrassed that I couldn't participate in the real war."
"No, you are wrong." Kyle looked at her and said seriously: "You are also participating in a war, but the battlefield is different."
"You don't have to comfort me..." Qiu scratched his hair, "Those Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic, they don't even know how to cast a decent curse.
"Oh my god, I'm actually still a Ravenclaw..."
"Yes, you really should be sorted into Hufflepuff." Kyle said and couldn't help laughing. As if he thought of something, Qiu also laughed.
She looked at the three people in front of her and sighed, "Mediocrity, this is definitely the biggest misunderstanding that all wizards have about Hufflepuff."
Cedric, the best graduate of his class, received perfect scores in all ten N.E.W.T. certificates.
Kangna, who also has ten certificates, is also the youngest member of the Society of Extraordinary Pharmacists.
Not to mention Kyle, a graduate who can challenge Voldemort, the youngest Hogwarts professor, a recipient of the Order of Merlin Level 2... His title alone can last for five minutes.
And they are all mediocre Hufflepuff students.
"Let's continue talking about the hearing." Cedric took over the topic at the right time, continued to talk about Snape, and told Connor some details of the hearing.
It was almost noon before a few people left the Three Broomsticks.
At Kyle's suggestion, they went to Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes (branch) located at the entrance.
After Fred and George's unremitting efforts, they finally succeeded in acquiring Zuko and opened a branch next to Hogwarts.
To be continued...
