Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 269: Are we going to use Li Wei again?

The topic of why Professor Snape "repented" has been discussed from the end of November into December, and has been a popular topic of conversation for a long time.

Years later, this event was even named one of the "Seven Wonders of Hogwarts".

Aside from Li Wei, no one could understand this.

Jowell even took the time to visit Snape to ask if he had encountered any difficulties, only to be hastily ushered out of the office by Snape, who was unconsciously cold-faced yet couldn't help but smile.

Perhaps the students' perspective also changed as Professor Snape's image changed.

They actually thought Professor Snape had become damnably handsome, to the point that they began to think his personality had become gentler than before.

And it's not just a little bit.

The change was so dramatic, it was as if ice had melted, revealing the crystals within—crystal clear and breathtakingly beautiful.
Snape finally won back the hearts of some Slytherin students. Meanwhile, a large number of witches from the other four houses were not interested in pursuing Snape—they had other suitors for the handsome Slytherin professor.

However, they wanted to know what method Snape had used to make himself so young.

It's practically a magic trick that reverses aging.

However, no one has dared to actually ask about this yet.

The students discussed it privately using the Grimoire, believing that this was Professor Snape's Achilles' heel—asking this question before figuring out why his appearance had changed so drastically could very well send Professor Snape back into 'Old Bat' mode.

Therefore, the students were quite cautious.

This same caution is also reflected in the professors.

Snape was a Potions Master, and people always needed his help—which is why everyone tolerated him despite his terrible temper.

Moreover, Snape's dueling skills were second to none.

If they anger Snape, they won't fare well, whether in terms of potions or duels.

When Dumbledore, who had quietly returned to Hogwarts from the outside world, heard about this, a gentle smile appeared on his face—but he remained silent, not telling Professor McGonagall the reason behind it.

He had clearly really angered Professor McGonagall this time—Dumbledore was nowhere to be found whenever she wanted to discuss something.

It was as if her concerns about the students' future and their safety had become her own responsibility!
If it weren't for Li Wei...
"You're never at school, and I can't find you to discuss anything with. Don't you even understand that you're the Headmaster of Hogwarts, and I'm just the Deputy Headmaster's proxy?"

Before Professor McGonagall could even begin to speak, Dumbledore immediately raised his hands in surrender and earnestly persuaded her to return to her place.

Professor McGonagall was clearly genuinely angry this time—after careful reflection, she realized that ever since Levi arrived at Hogwarts, Dumbledore had almost always been a hands-off manager.

Everything at this school seems to have nothing to do with him; it's all decided by Li Wei and her—how can this be allowed?

If Dumbledore really has something so important that he can't get away for a year, Professor McGonagall now seriously thinks that Hogwarts should get a new headmaster!
It wasn't her, but it could be Li Wei.
"Dumbledore, you must pay more attention to the children! You have no idea how many amazing and proud changes have taken place in them!"

Dumbledore gave his assurances and smiled as he saw Professor McGonagall off, still rambling on as she reached the door.

After the other person left, Dumbledore sat in his chair and began to think quietly—this search for Slughorn had failed again.

That guy is too slippery; finding him is already extremely difficult.

Although he could see through Slughorn's disguise, he couldn't restrict his freedom—and Slughorn clearly refused to communicate with him, quickly fleeing whenever his trickery was exposed.
There was simply no way to deal with this timid and withdrawn old friend—according to Dumbledore's guess, Tom most likely obtained the specific crafting method for Horcruxes from Slughorn. After all, Tom had once joined Slug's slug club.

This is probably why Slughorn is avoiding him—he feels ashamed to admit that he taught Voldemort such evil things.

But if the other party doesn't speak, he really has no other way to confirm the exact number of Horcruxes.

Although based on speculation and inference, the number is likely to be '7', it still needs to be confirmed.

Thinking of this crucial number, Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh.

Just then, the portrait of the principal on the wall suddenly came to life.

"What's troubling you, Albus? Your brow looks furrowed with worry deeper than a black lake."

One of Hogwarts' distinguished headmistresses, Ms. Dalys De Winter, asked gently.

"Um—thank you for your concern, I have indeed run into a little trouble—but believe me, I can handle it."

Dumbledore snapped out of his reverie and responded earnestly.

Beside him, Principal Evra, wearing a curly wig, snorted:
"If you ask me, Ah Bu Si, you're just too particular about 'property' in everything you do, which is why you're constantly bothered by endless things."

No matter what trouble you encounter, as long as you demonstrate your strength and skill, any difficulty can be overcome.

“Violence and intimidation are not good solutions, Evra.”

A principal's profile picture with a starry sky background slowly spoke.

Dumbledore listened to their discussion, gently stroking Fawkes' tail feathers, pondering what to do about the matter.

In this somewhat somber but rational atmosphere, a drawn-out voice, carrying an innate sense of superiority and impatience, rang out from a magnificent picture frame in the corner:
"Oh, come on! Look at you all, huddled together like a bunch of Bowtruckles worried about their chicks falling out of the nest—he is Albus Dumbledore, do you think he's a child?"

If you ask me, Dumbledore, you really should pay more attention to Hogwarts than to things outside of school.

Professor Li Wei, whom you invited back, has accomplished so much during this time. I've witnessed the students of the four colleges unite closely once again—oh, this is a feat that could only be achieved during my tenure!

"Shut up, Blake! Don't you understand why the students united during your tenure?"

The other headmasters' portraits all jumped out of their frames and rushed toward the one who was voted 'the most unpopular headmaster in Hogwarts history'.

Amidst Black's strange scream, a hint of helplessness flashed in Dumbledore's eyes.

Does this mean that Li Wei will have to handle this matter again?
Dumbledore wouldn't want to do this if he could.

To be honest, he was a little scared.

He feared that Li Wei might do something he didn't approve of again.

Because he doesn't know what to do at that time.
