Chapter 123 The Greatly Changed Professor Snape
As the sunshine time gets longer and longer, the snow covering the Scottish plateau gradually melts, and the frozen Black Lake gradually thaws.
Three months into the new semester, Augustus was sitting in the office of the villa by the lake, waiting for the information from the other side of the ocean.
"Cuckoo!"
Accompanied by a deep hooting of an owl, a huge black American eagle owl gradually flew from the sky.
Taking over the huge file bag from the handsome owl's paw, Augustus put the beef jerky he had prepared in advance into the owl food bowl.
And scratched the owl's chin and said softly.
"It's been so hard for you to fly for so long, but you can enjoy the food first, and let you go back after I finish writing the letter."
After speaking, Augustus returned to his desk, ready to open the huge file, but a hasty knock on the door interrupted his actions.
After putting away the file bag, Augustus said softly.
"Please come in."
As the door of the office opened, Draco hurried into the office and came to Augustus,
Augustus was about to ask what happened, but Draco spoke first.
"Chief, you should hurry back to the school and have a look. Are you really sure that Professor Snape is fine?"
"He's acting weirder than the red-haired kid who was bewitched by Voldemort, and now the whole school is full of rumors."
Seeing that the other party was out of breath and in a hurry, Augustus poured Draco a glass of water, motioned for the other party to sit down and asked.
"Did Professor Snape start to embarrass you again? Logically, it shouldn't be like this. I remember that Professor Snape has changed a lot."
"It's still saying that Sirius Black is unwilling to cooperate with Professor Snape. If that's the case, it's better to let him go."
Facing Augustus' question, Draco scratched his head, then said awkwardly.
"Professor Snape has indeed changed a lot, but he has changed too much, if not for his appearance."
"I can't confirm that it's our professor at all. Now, how should I put it, he is a bit too gentle."
Hearing this, Augustus couldn't help being interested, knowing about the two months when Professor Snape was in a coma.
Augustus has always been a substitute for the other party, and it may be due to some ulterior transactions.
As the vice-principal, Professor McGonagall suddenly announced that Sirius Black had joined the ranks of professors as an assistant teaching assistant of Potions.
Augustus, who was puzzled, learned through some channels that Sirius wanted to spend more time with Harry.
At the same time, possibly as a precaution, Professor Snape made another attempt on Lily through Harry.
So the other party bribed Professor McGonagall, donated a large sum of money to the school, and declared that he did not need any salary.
As a result, he obtained the position of Assistant Professor of Potions, which can be called the No. 1 reverse job in the magic world.
Regarding this matter, Augustus, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall had argued, after all, Sirius' potion level was extremely poor.
Moreover, he was just a substitute teacher. When Professor Snape woke up, the conflict between the two of them would probably lead to a decline in the quality of teaching.
But in the past month, Augustus didn't pay attention to everything that happened in the school in order to deal with the affairs on the other side of the ocean.
When Draco brought up the matter again today, Augustus still wanted to know the situation.
So Augustus asked.
"Tell me specifically what happened in school in the past month."
"If the problem is really as serious as you say, I think I can deal with it a little bit."
Hearing this, Draco breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and immediately spoke in detail.
"It's like this. Since Professor Snape returned to his post this month, all of us have an attitude of watching the show."
"Oh no, it's out of solidarity, and I want to see the possible conflict between Professor Snape and Sirius."
"So as to prevent the splitting of the college from happening again, but what we never expected is."
"Professor Snape has changed so much. After the first class, Professor Snape only pointed out a few wrong ideas about Sirius."
"What's even more incredible is that after the course ended, Professor Snape actually expressed his gratitude to Sirius."
"Merlin's silk stockings, I never thought, thank you for this word, you can say it from Professor Snape's mouth."
Hearing this, Augustus interjected.
"Isn't it normal to express gratitude for the labor of my assistant?"
Hearing this, Draco looked at Augustus in disbelief, and immediately said loudly.
"Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if it were anyone else, but that was Professor Snape."
"He actually said thank you to his deadly enemy. Is there anything more incredible than this?"
Seeing Draco who was yelling loudly, Augustus smiled and said nothing, poured another cup of black tea for the other party, and signaled the other party to continue talking.
Taking a sip of black tea, Draco settled down and continued.
"Also, Professor Snape was a bit too gentle with the performance of the students, although he still wouldn't praise others."
"But his iconic..."
Having said that, Draco was stuck, as if he was thinking about what words to use to describe the other party's previous behavior.
"Soft persuasion."
Seeing Draco who really couldn't think of a suitable word, Augustus had no choice but to remind him.
Draco, who got the right word, continued immediately.
"Yes, soft persuasion, but his signature soft persuasion is gone, just take last week's Potions class."
"That stupid Longbottom, and his partner accidentally blew up the entire cauldron to pieces."
"Usually, Professor Snape would definitely deduct at least 20 points from Gryffindor, and give that idiot soft persuasion for half an hour."
"But Professor Snape didn't do that at all. He went to check that idiot's injury immediately."
"And comforted me, I heard that your herbalism is very good, so I believe you can do it, be more confident, Mr. Longbottom."
"At that time, the whole classroom was completely silent. It was really scary."
Looking at Draco who kept patting his chest and looking scared, Augustus' cheeks twitched involuntarily.
Looking at the classmate who was about to suffer from trauma emergency response disorder, Augustus had no choice but to ask.
"Tell me about other aspects, such as his attitude towards Harley."
