Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 264 Snape Wants to Be Popular
The positive impact of live-streamed duels is numerous, with fulfilling parents' expectations being just the most superficial aspect.

From the perspective of education and honor systems, making the duels public will greatly enhance the duelists' sense of honor and also strengthen the weight of different score ranges.

In addition, by observing how older students fight, younger students can have an expectation of what they will learn in the future, generating more anticipation and motivation.

From a technical standpoint, it is not difficult to achieve this.

By combining the "Magic Mirror," "Memory Projection," and "Encyclopedia" terminals, both live and replay effects can be achieved.

However, for Sirius, there was much more to do; he had to be responsible for coordinating this part of the work.

However, that's not something Li Wei needs to consider. Giving him some extra responsibilities would probably be interesting, given his personality.

As for when parents can visit these places—that's up to Professor McGonagall; she can schedule an open day.

Li Wei stopped the magic on his quill and casually picked up the parchment. He was about to leave immediately, but when he reached the light in front of the French windows, he couldn't help but stop.

Outside the window, everything was covered in silver, and ice crystals still clung to the frost. Even through the transparent window, I could almost feel an invisible, refreshing breeze blowing against my skin.

"In the blink of an eye, another year is coming to an end?"

Time flies!

At the end of November, Snape found Levi again.

This surprised Li Wei quite a bit.

According to some scattered information he overheard, since the Duel Tower was launched, Snape had become obsessed with it, focusing most of his attention on it.

In particular, it urges and motivates Slytherin students to strive for first place on both the individual and house rankings.

Now that you've come to me, could it be that you've encountered some difficulties?

I wonder if he listened to what I told him last time?

"Please have a seat. Would you like some black tea?"

Levi invited Snape to sit by the window and brewed tea for himself—since he had entrusted Barton with other important matters, these were things he had to do himself.

"You can even brew your own tea? What about your house-elf?"

Snape's face was darker than the clouds of November—and Levi knew why.

Whether there was a reason or not, Snape always had this grumpy expression—as for the underlying reasons, he had already analyzed them last time.

However, it seems Snape didn't listen at all.

"Barton has more important things to do—never mind him, what brings you here?"

Li Wei hastily tossed the tea leaves into the teapot and set them ablaze with fire magic—he had never done anything like this manually since he came into this world.

I didn't have this habit or hobby when I was alone, and I didn't have anyone to entertain.

After Patton was rescued, everything fell into place naturally and smoothly—the other party really took good care of him.

Li Wei stared at the bubbling tea-colored water in the pot, his mind wandering.

Snape frowned as he watched this scene, secretly wondering what had happened to make Levi react this way.
However, this guy's impression on me has been completely different recently.

The old Li Wei was like the cold wind outside the window, making people hesitate to approach—but now, although Snape was unwilling to admit it, he did look much more pleasing to the eye.

"Why haven't you told me about your business yet?"

Li Wei snapped out of his daze and sat down, his first words causing Snape's veins to bulge! Well, he hadn't become any more agreeable!
"how did you do it?"

Snape carefully chose his words, his upper lip remaining still while his lower lip trembled slightly as he spoke.

“Longbottom—Neville Longbottom, that idiot whose brain is filled with reeds, has actually been able to finish the potion assignments I give him lately.”

Oh—you mean this?

Are you here to exchange teaching experiences?
Li Wei was taken aback for a moment, then replied:
"Isn't this normal? It's not some particularly complicated potion. With sufficient theoretical and practical experience, even the most clumsy wizard can learn and master it by following along slowly."

Seeing the disgruntled expression on Snape's face, Levi added:
"What, do you think that potions are a profound art that only a very few people can master, and that's reasonable?"

He was saying exactly what Snape was thinking.

But considering his true purpose, Snape suppressed his displeasure.
He suddenly seemed a little nervous and flustered, like a student caught playing a prank, hesitantly choosing his words:
"I've thought about what you said earlier carefully. I think what you said might not be entirely unreasonable. At the very least, as a professor, I should indeed try to build closer relationships with my students for the sake of teaching. So, what do you think I should do?"

"How to do it?"

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted before Snape's face turned ashen.

"Are you talking about becoming a legend, or something else? Can't you be more specific?"

"legend?"

Okay, this is indeed very important.

Snape crossed his hands in front of him, his fingers interlaced.

"But I'm talking about something else today. You know, for better teaching results. Actually, lately I feel that the Slytherin students don't respect me, the headmaster, as much as they used to."

"Yes, of course. After all, with Professor Levi coming up with so many clever ideas, people naturally started to forget who the Head of Slytherin was."

Snape's words drifted off-topic, revealing a clear resentment.

After listening attentively, Li Wei couldn't help but chuckle softly. "You came to see me just to say this?"

In the past, Levi would have stared at Snape with a blank expression until Snape himself left, utterly humiliated, a few seconds later.

But now, "So you want to be more popular with students, right?"

"Uh, of course not. Okay, maybe, but it's not for me."

Snape's voice sounded dry and hesitant.

Then, a lot of words that Li Wei couldn't understand came out of his mouth.

"All of this is for the honor of Slytherin!"

It's about the points in the Academy Cup and the rankings in the Duel Tower. If there's a gap between students and the Dean, it will affect cohesion and reduce efficiency.

You know what I mean, right?

"I understand. Simply put, as the Head of Slytherin, you want to be more popular with the students of your house."

Li Wei made a gesture, and the teapot spontaneously rose up to pour tea for the two of them.

"But Snape, if it's just about students in our house, then I have no advice for you."

My method only works for all students.
