"Professor Snape, no, Headmaster Snape, listen to my quibbles.
No, please listen to my explanation. Aaron smiled sheepishly, "This is just a misunderstanding." "
"You said this was a misunderstanding?" Alecto pointed at Amycus's face in disbelief. What kind of misunderstanding could make someone hit him so hard that his biological sister could hardly recognize him.
"This is a misunderstanding." Aaron said seriously, "Professor Amycus just wanted to use the Cruciatus Curse on me, but Protector Abe was eager to stop him in time.
As for why it beat him like this...it probably didn't expect the professors at Hogwarts to be so weak! "
Hearing this, Amycus felt his chest congested and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
It's too much to bully others. This is naked ridicule, in front of so many people.
If Abe hadn't made a sneak attack, shot down his wand, and suppressed him, how could he be in such a mess.
Wizards are not warriors. If they fight hand-to-hand with a dragon, Gryffindor may not be able to win even if he is resurrected.
“Alecto, take Professor Amycus to the school hospital first.
Take care of the redness and swelling on your teeth and face, and I'll come back to you later. "
"Got it, Professor Snape."
Alecto glared at Aaron fiercely before helping Amycus leave.
"As for you, Mr. Gaius.
I don’t care if this is a misunderstanding or not, your pet has caused great trauma to Professor Amycus..."
"I admit the trauma, but it's hard to say it's huge." Aaron said weakly, "Abe is my domestic dragon that I have raised since I was a child. He is well-educated and knows how to behave. He can lie down for up to ten days. It can be cured in half a month.”
Snape: …
"You will be put in solitary confinement. Come to the principal's office to find me at nine o'clock in the evening."
"Okay, Professor." Aaron rolled his eyes and said reluctantly.
After Snape left, the classroom cheered as if they had won a battle.
"Please restrain yourself!" Aaron said speechlessly, "I can only teach him a lesson, but as long as these two Carlos are still working in the school, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with the students."
"Can we drive them away?" Seamus asked.
"Good question, but don't ask it next time.
Especially in front of so many people, someone might sell you out. "
He doesn't plan to drive away the Carrow brothers yet. Although their education style is too extreme, no one knows what the Death Eaters who replace them are like. What if it is worse?
Moreover, it was not up to him as a student to decide whether to drive them away or not.
Seamus' heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at the Slytherin students. Sure enough, some of them looked at him with eyes full of ridicule.
......
school clinic.
Madam Pomfrey fixed Amycus's tooth, applied some herbal medicine to reduce the swelling, and was sent away by Snape.
"Severus, help me take revenge." Amycus said angrily.
"How can I help you?" Snape looked at him angrily, "I warned you not to mess with him, but you seem to have turned a deaf ear to my words.
You're lying here now for your own fault, and you don't deserve any sympathy. "
"It's really not my fault." Amycus explained awkwardly, "I originally thought that being a professor could suppress him."
"What do you think?" Snape laughed angrily, "Why do you think that a wizard who can give the Dark Lord a headache and make most Death Eaters find it difficult will be at your mercy?"
"But this is a trap he dug for me. I didn't want to do anything to him."
"Did you not think about it, or did you not have time?" Snape asked coldly, "As long as you dare to point the wand at him, he has a reason to defend himself.
A mighty mage can't even cast spells silently, right?He wouldn't wait until he was cursed before fighting back. "
"Amycus was the one who was wronged this time, but he must be punished." Alecto said, "And the dragon must be killed in a way."
"You mean killing me? Do you want to laugh me to death?" Snape couldn't help but sneered, "I have been undercover at Hogwarts for more than ten years, and I have always been serious about words. I didn't expect that I was almost forced to do so by you two. Break the defense.”
"What do you mean?"
“You don’t think Aaron Gaius would hand over his pet so easily, do you?
Even if it is handed over, will the dragon stick its head under the guillotine?
If we drive this beast to a dead end, it will drive us to a dead end as well. "
"Is this the case?" Amycus asked unconvinced, "If his arrogance cannot be suppressed, the education reform will inevitably cause many twists and turns."
"You don't need to remind me." Snape took a deep breath and thought deeply.
The Carlo brothers and sisters looked at each other and made a tacit understanding not to disturb them.
After a few minutes, Snape seemed to have thought of something and whispered softly: "This is the only way."
"Is there a way?" Amycus asked expectantly.
"It's not a solution." Snape said calmly, "Notify the Ministry of Magic. I remember that the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures of the Ministry of Magic has an Office for Research and Control of Dragons, right?"
The Carlo brothers and sisters looked at each other and smiled in unison.
I almost forgot that the Ministry of Magic is under their control, so what's there to worry about?Wouldn't it be easy to ask one of your own people to come over and help?
"Don't be too happy too early. Even if the law is on our side, the most we can do is drive that dragon out of Hogwarts.
It would be impossible to kill it without the combined efforts of ten powerful Death Eaters. "
"It'll be good if we can get rid of it."
Amycus's face twitched with excitement, and he felt that his body had regained a lot of strength.
Without the dragon, even if Gaius wanted to hinder their educational reform, he could only stare blankly.
"Let me remind you one last time, you'd better restrain yourself when he is around. If you want to educate students, you don't have to be in the classroom!"
"I know." Alecto said weakly. If Amycus hadn't tried the water first, she might have been the one lying here now.
"Also, Amycus, you are not going to class this week."
"what?"
"Recuperate well first, at least heal your face, otherwise no one will recognize you when you go out.
I'll take the Defense Against the Dark Arts class first and won't hold you back. "
"Thanks, Severus." Amycus said gratefully.
"Who made me the principal? I have to be worthy of the Dark Lord's trust, right?"
After Snape finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door. The Carrow brothers and sisters respectfully watched him leave the school hospital. .
This time they were convinced of Snape, he was not greedy for merit, and he also knew how to think about his subordinates. He was definitely a breath of fresh air among the Death Eaters.
......
On the other side, the Slytherin common room.
Clea found the witch who was punished by Amycus yesterday and led her to Aaron.
"Ellon is here to thank you, don't you want to say something?"
"Thank you, senior." Ellon looked directly into Aaron's eyes and blushed shyly.
Aaron put away the notebook depicting the magic circle and looked meaningfully into the grateful eyes of the junior Slytherin, "I can help you vent your bad breath, but it doesn't mean that you will be safe and sound in the future.
You are a mixed-blood wizard. Although I have changed the atmosphere of Slytherin over the years. As long as you are good enough, no one will talk about blood, but the Carlo brothers and sisters do not think so.
If you want to protect yourself better, you have to find a way to make yourself stronger. "
"Will the senior teach me?" Ellon asked expectantly.
“No, I don’t have that much time, but someone can teach you.
Go find Xilin, she is your senior sister in the sixth grade, and she is also half of my student, but she has also learned my low-key.
Tell me my name and she will teach you, but how much you can learn depends on you. "
"Thank you, senior." Ellon bowed respectfully, then looked at Klea, "Thank you too, senior."
"Go back to the dormitory and rest!" Klea patted her on the shoulder.
"Ok!"
"You offended Amycus to death today."
"Didn't you ask me to do it?" Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Originally, we could have been at peace with each other, at least until the contract expired.
But after today, they will start targeting me. "
"It's as if you will turn a blind eye if I don't let you do it." Klea hummed, "I'm just asking you to make up your mind. Sooner or later you will be offended. Is there any difference between earlier and later?"
“There’s no difference, it’s just that more little troubles will inevitably affect your mood.
But it doesn’t matter, choosing to tolerate in order to avoid small troubles will still affect your mood. "
"As long as you understand." Clea smiled, "By the way, is everything going well with Hermione?"
"I don't know, I will contact her soon.
But before that, I have to meet with our Slytherin Head of House, and it's almost time. Aaron shrugged, then led Abe out of the common room.
Arriving on the third floor of the castle, Aaron read the command to the ugly giant stone beast.
"Pure blood."
The stone beast jumped to the side and the wall behind him split in half, revealing the spiral staircase hidden behind.
Aaron climbed the stairs to the principal's office on the eighth floor.
"call!"
Aaron pushed open the familiar oak door and walked in with great strides. He also set up a soundproofing magic on the door.
There were almost no changes in the furnishings of the office, except that the person behind the desk was replaced by Severus Snape, and there was a portrait of Dumbledore on the wall.
"Good evening, Professor Snape."
"It's not good at all." Snape said coldly, "I know you will definitely have a conflict with them, but this is only the second day!"
"Amycus used a curse to punish a new student in Slytherin yesterday. You, the dean, cannot give her justice. I, the prefect, can't turn a blind eye!"
Snape's lips twitched, "Can't you discuss this with me in advance? I have to appease two Death Eaters without any preparation."
"Definitely next time." Aaron didn't take it seriously, "But Professor, you are their immediate boss after all, so there is no need to lower yourself so low!"
"Only by stabilizing both of them, the situation in Hogwarts will not get worse."
“Isn’t this bad enough?
I don't know much about Muggle Studies, but Defense Against the Dark Arts has become a Dark Arts class. "
"What do you know?" Snape said distractedly, "Originally, Muggle Studies would become a compulsory course, but I took the risk to convince the Dark Lord.
I told him that a considerable number of pure-blood families looked down on Muggles and would resent their children studying Muggle studies, so he reluctantly agreed to postpone the reform of the compulsory Muggle studies course for one semester.
Amycus and Alecto were originally going to be vice-principals, but I had to work hard to get them to give up this terrible idea.
I don’t need to tell you what powers the vice-principal has!They can change some school rules and disciplines, and the methods of punishing students will become more cruel. "
"Amazing." Aaron gave a thumbs up, "He deserves to be the principal of Hogwarts."
"I can't delay it for long."
"Professor, I have an immature idea." Aaron pondered for a while, then quietly made a gesture of cutting his throat, "Why don't we just do it to them?"
"What?" Snape was shocked, "Are you crazy?"
"It's a joke!
I also know that killing them will definitely not work, but the Imperius Curse..."
"This won't work either," Snape said tiredly, "Unless you can guarantee that the Dark Lord or other Death Eaters will not come to Hogwarts before the final battle, the hidden danger will be too great."
"Okay! You are the principal, I will listen to you."
Snape was silent for a moment and said tangledly: "I'm watching the school, but Harry Potter... you promised me that you would protect him."
Aaron raised his eyebrows, and a gold galleon was bounced into the air, and landed firmly in his hand, "Hermione and I can keep in touch through it."
"Just contact?" Snape was a little dissatisfied.
"When I'm ready, I'll leave Hogwarts to help them."
"Are you serious?" Snape asked in surprise, "But how could you?"
"I only mentioned Harry occasionally, and I didn't hinder the Death Eaters, so it doesn't count as a violation of the contract." Aaron said lightly, "Only I, the person who designed the contract, know how big the loopholes in the contract we signed with Voldemort were.
The contract's restrictions on me are very simple. As long as I don't encounter the Dark Lord or Death Eaters, I can do whatever I want. When I encounter them, both sides will just be wary of each other and not interfere with each other.
Overall, all conditions were in my favour. "
"Prescient," Dumbledore's portrait praised.
"Shut up, you old bastard." Aaron cursed angrily at the portrait, "If I had known that your end was approaching, I would not have signed that contract.
Once Harry dies, I will be the unlucky one, but your plan just kills Harry, the savior. Are you sure you didn't target me intentionally? "
Dumbledore's portrait also showed some guilt, "In front of all the past principals of Hogwarts, please give me some face."
"Why?" Aaron sneered. If it were a living person, he might have some scruples, but a mere portrait is just a by-product of Dumbledore's thoughts, not even a dead person.
"Your plan is centered on Harry Potter, but Professor Snape and I are the ones who are most affected.
He's a little better, he's basically gotten over it after killing you.
But what about me?I really don't want to follow your plan, but even for myself, I hope Harry Potter can live a little longer, let alone Hermione still in his team.
But what about after finding those Horcruxes?The fragment of Harry's soul was strangled by Voldemort himself. He may not die, but I will definitely have to face Voldemort and his army. "
No, please listen to my explanation. Aaron smiled sheepishly, "This is just a misunderstanding." "
"You said this was a misunderstanding?" Alecto pointed at Amycus's face in disbelief. What kind of misunderstanding could make someone hit him so hard that his biological sister could hardly recognize him.
