Chapter 132 Halloween Dinner
·
Chu Ni Fan Wan
Sun Zhu looked at the pumpkin pie on the dinner plate, stirred the pumpkin juice in the cup, and looked up at the pumpkin lanterns hanging in the hall.There are many fairies in little devil costumes and pointed horns dancing beside the lantern.
The entire hall was shrouded in a hazy orange halo. Students from the four colleges were all sitting at the tables, and the teachers' seats were rarely filled with people—except for Professor Snape's seat.
Karina looked around uncomfortably. She lowered her voice and asked, "Why didn't anyone move the tableware after dinner? What are we waiting for?"
Sun Zhu shook his head blankly, looking at this Halloween-like arrangement, the uneasiness in his heart gradually increased.
Today is not the weekend, but it is the first Halloween party she encountered after coming to Hogwarts. The students were able to have a holiday and enjoy the dinner, but usually it was already early at this time, but today she did not see the principal for a long time. Announcing the start.
Sun Zhu glanced at Dumbledore who was sitting in the middle of the teacher's bench, but he just wiped his half-moon glasses with a smile on his face, without any intention of announcing the start of the party.
"We are waiting for a key figure with a lot of ostentation." Sister Cecilia arranged all the pumpkin lanterns near them one by one. Now only the prefects are walking around the four long tables, and the other students are sitting obediently Seat side, waiting patiently for something.
Sun Zhu was a little puzzled, all the key people in Hogwarts were already waiting there, except for Snape who didn't come... They couldn't have waited so long for Snape, could they?
"System, do you know who is coming later?"
"Host, I can analyze that it is a key person, but his existence is not enough to trigger the mission for you, so I have no way of knowing the specific situation for the time being."
"Well, I just want to say, whoever it is, can you hurry up and let hundreds of us wait for him, I'm starving." The elves' new Halloween special dessert looks very tempting , her pumpkin juice will be cold if you don't drink it!
Karina poked her hard suddenly, and she subconsciously looked towards the door, only to see Snape walking in with a sullen face.
"Can the meal be served?" Karina gestured with her eyes.
Sun Zhu frowned slightly, and looked at the person who followed Professor Snape in.
Tall, pale blond haired, pale, with a pointed chin and cool gray eyes.
He passed the four long tables with his head slightly raised, and glanced at his students with those colorless eyes. Only when he saw a Slytherin student, did he raise his eyebrows slightly, then shook off his sleeves and continued to stride Go in the direction of the teacher's seat.
Sun Zhu twisted her lips tightly, a little surprised, if she guessed correctly, this person should be, Lucius Malfoy.
After Snape came near his seat, he didn't sit down, but turned his head to give him a slight signal, although Sun Zhu felt that Snape's face was terribly gloomy.
Lucius Malfoy seemed very satisfied with his attitude, nodded slightly, and cast his eyes on Dumbledore with calm eyes.
"Mr. Malfoy." Dumbledore nodded slightly.
"Principal Dumbledore." He dragged his voice, and then glanced at the students not far away, "I'm afraid that only on a day worth celebrating like today, can I find time to come here to see how the students are doing. As a member of the Hogwarts Board of Trustees, I think I have the right to question your recent behavior."
"Hogwarts still has a board of trustees." Sun Zhu heard Karina mumbling in a low voice, "But what does this have to do with our dinner?"
"Malfoy is one of the 28 pure-blood families and has a lot of rules. Maybe he doesn't like that we are eating while he is talking to the principal." Sun Zhu said casually.
"Mr. Malfoy, I'm sorry I didn't understand what you meant." Dumbledore continued gently: "Everything is going well at Hogwarts. As a member of the school board, you should be able to understand."
"You ask the students to learn those targeted magics to resist the black devil... Mysterious man, aren't you spreading panic?" Lucius snapped, "Everyone knows that Mysterious man will not come back again. And you, as the principal , Disrupt the teaching order, let the students learn something they shouldn't learn, the school board has the right to impeach you for your behavior."
"He's not coming back, do you really think so, Mr. Malfoy." Dumbledore clasped a cup in his hands and stared straight at Lucius.
Lucius frowned, turned his head to look at Snape again, and said with a sneer, "Obviously, this kind of behavior is your own will, and you haven't won the support of all the professors. Professor Snape, you said you don't agree with it." Dumbledore's way, right?"
"As a professor, I can only obey the headmaster's orders." Snape replied without emotion.
Dumbledore smiled silently.
"In other words, he forced you to change your teaching plan?" Lucius sneered, "Obviously, Principal Dumbledore doesn't know how to respect teachers and students. You are trying to make Hogwarts Ci leads to crooked ways, as a member of the school board, I must not sit idly by!"
"Is it as exaggerated as what he said?" Karina scratched her head. "Although the course is much more difficult, it's not so crooked."
"In fact, there are some students who are dissatisfied, because some of the content taught to them has nothing to do with their upcoming exams." Fina said suddenly.
"That's it... Then you can't be aggressive with the principal in public, can't they negotiate in private?"
Sun Zhu continued to listen intently to the commotion over there, but in fact Lucius didn't lower his voice at all. He chose to question Dumbledore in public at this time, which should have the meaning of standing up.
"I heard that the course also includes the dissemination of the theory of equality between pure-blood and mixed-blood hemp breeds. With all due respect, you are carrying private goods." Lucius sounded extremely angry, "You want to use this method to subtly Brainwashing students, instilling them with wrong ideas, making them gradually forget what is the most noble."
Sun Zhu sneered in his heart, Tu Qiong saw him.He finally said what he was most concerned about.
Dumbledore frowned: "Mr. Malfoy, please pay attention to your words. My students include pure-blood, mixed-blood and hemp. In my eyes, there is really no difference between them."
Lucius snorted coldly, glanced at the teachers who were obviously dissatisfied with him in the teacher's seat, and twitched the corners of his mouth stiffly.He glanced at Snape, who was slightly lowering his head, and patted him on the shoulder: "You know what's right, Hogwarts isn't hopeless."
Snape nodded slightly.
"The school board will take action against your wrongdoing."
After throwing these words at Dumbledore, Lucius turned his head and strode out of the hall. The restaurant was quiet for a moment, and everyone looked at each other, obviously not understanding the situation in front of them.
"Please start enjoying your dinner, children." Dumbledore said with a normal expression.
Chattering was soon heard in the dining room.
"Hmph, is it possible that a pure-blood family has this kind of virtue?" Duke on the opposite side couldn't help scolding: "Why does he accuse the principal like that!"
"Principal Dumbledore won't be targeted by him, right?" Karina pinched her fork worriedly.
"There are 12 members in the school board, and he can't cover the sky with one hand." Cedric said lightly, "Maybe there will be some troubles, but I believe everything is under the principal's control."
Sun Zhu nodded slightly, she looked at Snape who had returned to his seat, she didn't know if it was her illusion, she seemed to see Dumbledore nodded slightly towards him.
And Sirius, who hadn't said a word before, cursed at Hagrid in a low voice: "Some pure-blood bastards never change."
The entire hall was shrouded in a hazy orange halo. Students from the four colleges were all sitting at the tables, and the teachers' seats were rarely filled with people—except for Professor Snape's seat.
