[HP] I was the scroll king at Hogwarts

Chapter 149 Dinner

No one but Carrie and Andrew knew that Alice had moved out.In addition, neither Carrie nor Andrew was a nonsense person, so when Beauxbaton and Durmstrang came, Alice still sat next to Snape.

Snape obviously wanted to say something, but Alice didn't give him the chance.

"Today's dinner is much richer than before," Alice put a biscuit in the shape of a bear on Snape's plate, "Who do you think is better, me or the elf?"

Snape looked at the bear biscuit winking at him, and could only reply: "Your cooking is better."

"But you haven't tasted it yet," said Alice, laughing.

Snape silently picked up the biscuit and took a bite: "It's true that yours taste better."

"But I think house elves do better," Alice sighed sadly, "after all, I'm not a professional."

Snape stopped talking, knowing that no matter what he said now, Alice would not be satisfied.

The conversation between the two couldn't be more normal, especially for other people who don't know what's going on.

"Your relationship is still so good!" Professor Sprout sighed, and then she pointed to the restless students below and said half-complainingly, "If I say this Triwizard Tournament is held, I am afraid that not many people will pay attention to it. Focus on studying."

The teachers have long known that there will be a Triwizard Tournament, but in fact no one is very happy.On the one hand, this competition is too dangerous. There are many students who lost their lives at a young age in history;

However, it is useless for teachers like them to object to the joint decision of the Ministry of Magic of Britain, France and Germany.

"According to the principal, this is youth!" Alice knew that Professor Sprout was really worried about the safety of the students, so she quickly comforted her, "And with the principals around, the students will definitely be fine."

"I hope so, I always have a bad feeling," Professor Sprout forced a smile, "but today is an important day, and I can't let the guests think that they are not welcome at Hogwarts. "

After speaking, she showed a bigger smile, got up and went to Madam Maxim.

Everyone in the Mainland, including Professor Sprout, went to say hello to people from the other two schools. For a while, Alice and Snape, who seemed to be sitting comfortably, were a little awkward.

"Sev, don't you want to socialize?" Alice turned back again, "For example, say hello to Principal Karkaroff or something."

After all, she is not a serious professor, and she doesn't like to join in the fun, so she has the cheek to pretend that she doesn't know how to communicate.But Snape is not only the Potions Professor but also the head of Slytherin, and to some extent also represents Hogwarts, isn't it good not to say hello?

"That's not my job," Snape replied, and then he told Alice, "You'd better not have anything to do with Karkaroff."

"What? Am I still going to change jobs?" Alice joked, "Although you pissed me off, and German handsome guys are famous, I haven't changed my target so quickly."

Snape cast a helpless glance at Alice, and then cast a vague glance at Karkaroff's left arm surrounded by the crowd.This time his expression was much more serious: "Your identity is too abrupt in the eyes of some people."

Seeing that Snape didn't seem to be joking, Alice frowned: "You mean his identity?"

Snape nodded.

Whether it is a Muggle wizard who was born, has made a name for himself in herbal medicine research, and is now a professor at Hogwarts.In his opinion, Alice was a little too conspicuous.

He was worried that the resurrected Dark Lord would have his mind on Alice sooner or later.And considering Alice's background, even if the Dark Lord thinks she can be used, it will inevitably be tortured.

Thinking of this, Snape couldn't help looking at Alice, who was looking at Karkaroff nervously while looking curious.

He felt a bit of a headache. In fact, the best way was to ask Alice to resign as a professor and leave England as quickly as possible, hiding in another country in a low-key manner.But according to Alice's character, this is absolutely impossible.

At that time... Snape's expression was inexplicable, and he didn't know what he thought of.

There was no one around, so Alice gasped without concealing it, but due to the occasion, she could only express her surprise vaguely: "He's the principal!"

The principal is the person in charge of a school and the spiritual symbol of the school. The principal's behavior will inevitably affect the three views of his students.If even the headmaster is a Death Eater, it would be easy for Voldemort to use this to promote his ideas in Durmstrang.

And more importantly, Voldemort's sphere of influence is so wide?Not only has it penetrated into foreign countries, but it has also penetrated into Germany. You must know that it is a country that experienced the first generation of Dark Lords.

Neither of them spoke for the rest of the time.Alice was shocked and worried, and ate without thinking.Snape couldn't speak even if he wanted to, because he wasn't sure about Alice's current attitude.

But the silence was quickly broken.Just when Alice swallowed the last bite of steak, wiped her mouth and was about to leave, an unexpected person appeared.

"Professor Hall, may I ask about your relationship with Professor Snape?"

Looking at Barty Crouch in front of her, Alice subconsciously looked at Snape.Why does the Director of the Department of International Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic care about the emotional issues of a small person like her.

"Mr. Crouch," Snape said in a bad tone, "I don't think my relationship problems have anything to do with you."

Crouch ignored Snape, he still faced Alice: "Professor Hall, I must remind you that your lover is probably an evil wizard. As far as I know, you are not only innocent, but also have a good understanding of herbalism." There are also extremely in-depth research, and I can't bear to see young people go astray."

"The Ministry of Magic has already ruled that Professor Snape is not guilty," Alice explained calmly, "I think you are also an important member of the Ministry of Magic, so you won't be unaware of this matter."

"Yes, that's what the Ministry of Magic thinks." Crouch gave Snape a hateful look, "but cunning Slytherins are always good at deceiving the people."

The smile on Alice's face couldn't hold on any longer. Is this just looking for trouble?

"Not only the people, but Slytherin's poisonous snakes have even deceived some great and wise people." Crouch glanced at Dumbledore who was talking with Karkaroff, "I think if you can see through the deception, you will definitely get A better future."

Crouch succeeded in making Alice angry. Seeing that some students had noticed the dispute here, she showed a kind smile: "Mr. Crouch, I would like to ask what is your current marital status?"

Hearing these words, Crouch's face suddenly turned ugly, and he straightened the bow tie on his chest before replying unhappily: "My wife has already passed away."

"Then do you have any son?" Regardless of Crouch's increasingly ugly face, Alice still asked with a smile.

"Mr. Crouch's son has already died in Azkaban," Snape continued, "because of his status as an evil dark wizard."

"Is that so?" Alice was really shocked. She didn't expect that this man who seemed to hate dark wizards had a son who was a Death Eater.

Crouch took a deep breath and said with a straight face: "Professor Hall, I don't think you need to know these private affairs of mine."

"Of course—it's necessary," Alice imitated Crouch and straightened the red tie on her skirt. "I thought you were going to have a second spring or find a girlfriend for your son."

"You!" Crouch pointed at Alice tremblingly, probably because of the occasion, he would have picked up his wand to duel the next moment.

"Otherwise, why are you so concerned about my emotional problems?" Alice asked back.

Crouch was fine when he came, but he staggered when he left, and he didn't know whether he was careless or angry.

"Why didn't you refute just now?" Alice turned around and asked Snape angrily.

"He's telling the truth," Snape said sullenly but without any sign of anger.

"So, I deserve to be considered the Death Eater's girlfriend?" As the party drew to a close, in order to avoid attracting attention, Alice forced herself to calm down, "Oh, yes, it was my fault. I should have just said , I'm not your girlfriend."

After experiencing the biscuit incident at the beginning, Snape, knowing that everything he said was wrong, chose to remain silent.

On the surface, Alice and Snape were still calm. Alice even hugged Snape's arm with a smile, and the two walked towards the door of the hall together.

Feeling the pain in his arm, Snape's leaving footsteps paused imperceptibly, and then moved on with a blank expression.

Seeing this, Alice could only calm down by herself.I have to admit that besides being angry, she was more distressed just now.

"As the director of the Department of International Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic, isn't his words and deeds a bit inappropriate?" She changed the subject, turning the page for the time being.

"Before what happened to Barty Crouch Jr., Barty Crouch was one of the strong contenders for the Minister of Magic," Snape said in a relaxed tone when he saw that Alice was no longer angry. , "Barty Crouch himself has an extremely tough attitude towards Death Eaters, and he didn't even defend his son."

It was the same for his own son, so the trouble with Snape seemed to be justified.

But thinking of facing Crouch in the days to come, Alice felt shivering.

"Anyway, you don't want me to show up at Hogwarts," she said to Snape at the entrance to the cellar. "You ask the headmaster for a few months' leave for me. Students can write to me if they want psychological counseling."

This coincided with Snape's thoughts, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

"By the way, what do you think of Beauxbaton's Fleur?" Alice suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

Years of experience as a dean made Snape come into contact with countless couples who had conflicts and looked for death because of this kind of problem. He said without hesitation: "I didn't notice it, I didn't remember it, I guess it's not as beautiful as you."

Alice smiled contentedly at this, and she took a step back, letting go of Snape's arm.

"You're not going back?" Snape asked subconsciously.

"I said one size fits all," Alice waved her hand, and walked out of the cellar without looking back, "I wish you a sweet dream!"
