Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 276 Winter Sunshine
"Merry Christmas, Professor McGonagall."

Li Wei, accompanied by two assistants, inspected the arrangements made by the three professors and then headed to the train station entrance.

Starting today and continuing for three days, parents will travel on the Hogwarts Express to visit the school each day, and will leave early in the evening after having dinner.

To prevent pure-blood or half-blood wizard parents from bullying Muggle parents, Professor McGonagall, after Levi's suggestion, chose to separate the parents according to their bloodline.

One day for purebloods, one day for mixed-races, one day for Muggles.

Today is the first day, and all the visitors are wizards from pure-blood families—the Board of Directors specifically emphasized that only pure-blood wizards could visit on the first day.

The way they desperately tried to maintain their bloodline superiority made Li Wei shake his head.

"Li Wei—what just happened?"

Professor McGonagall was taken aback when she saw Levi and his two companions.

After a moment, she hurriedly added:
“Merry Christmas—Li Wei, children.”

The two assistants nodded respectfully in response.

Li Wei then stood beside Professor McGonagall, and together they looked at the distant railway tracks, saying:
"It was indeed a small thing that happened, but how did you notice it?"

"What happened? Your matter is no small matter to me."

Professor McGonagall stared intently at Levi, her lips pressed tightly together.

She didn't believe that what Li Wei said was a trivial matter.
He probably didn't realize how imposing and powerful his aura was as he walked over, along with his two assistants. Professor McGonagall thought that the mysterious man was still alive and that another great battle was about to break out at Hogwarts.

"It really is just a small matter."

Seeing that Professor McGonagall was still staring at him seriously, Levi chuckled and honestly replied:

"Professor Trelawney did a fortune reading for me, and the result was somewhat risky."

"is her?"

Professor McGonagall's brow furrowed as well.

"Under normal circumstances, you don't need to take what she says to heart, unless Dumbledore insists on having her teach at the school."

The problem was that it wasn't an ordinary situation at the time—Li Wei nodded with a smile and said:

"I see."

As for those things, let Dumbledore worry about them; there's no need to trouble Professor McGonagall as well.

After all, she already has enough to do.

"Um--"

Professor McGonagall looked at Levi and, seeing that he had completely concealed his sharpness, nodded in relief.

At this moment, Jia Meier spoke up and asked:
"Professor McGonagall, what do you know about Professor Trelawney?"

Although Li Wei's guidance had eased her mind, she was no longer worried about the so-called 'turmoil' that followed, and instead resolved to overcome all obstacles.

However, their thinking also switched to the first mode—since the prophecy has come knocking, let's try to deconstruct it with theory.

They should also learn more about Professor Trelawney.

Li Wei sensed Jia Meier's intentions but did not stop her.

Professor McGonagall, seeing that the train hadn't arrived yet, hesitated for a moment before nodding and speaking:
“I don’t like talking about people behind their backs—but since Trelawney made a prophecy about your professor, I’ll tell you about her.”

Professor McGonagall thought for a moment.

"Where should I begin? Let's start with some of the prophecies she made for her students."

I actually think her behavior is absurd and doesn't fit the image of a professor at all—predicting the death of a student every semester.

She even made a prophecy for a student, saying that her worst fear would come true on October 16th. The student's pet died the day before October 16th, and she learned of it the following day.

Similar examples include being late for the next class, or a group of people eating together, where the first person to stand up will die.
What kind of prophecy is this?

Professor McGonagall shook her head, oblivious to the fact that Camille's expression had become somewhat tense again, and continued:
"I've always told her to do less of these useless things."

Before you came to work at the school, her predictions, while not causing any major trouble, would still occasionally lead to some headaches for me.

The little ones, already restless, became even more agitated after her words.

Professor McGonagall paused here, and the displeasure on her face turned into a smile.

"The changes at Hogwarts are all thanks to you, Levi—no matter how many times I express my gratitude, I feel it's never enough."

By the way, did you receive my Christmas present? I wonder if you're satisfied? Or is it not enough?

At this point, the woman, who was always so serious it was frightening, showed a worried expression, as if she was genuinely concerned about something as unimportant as a gift.

"Of course I'm satisfied—I really like your gift."

Li Wei pointed to the Griffin Medal on his chest.

Professor McGonagall understood and said happily:

"I'm just glad you're satisfied—I'm always worried that I'm not giving you enough."

"If you want to reward me, Professor, you have already done so over the past ten years or so—in the form of knowledge."

If I had to say something, it should be that I owe you something—I wonder if you're satisfied with my gift?

"Of course—this is the best Christmas gift I've received this year."

Professor McGonagall was lavish in her praise of Levi.

"Ugh——!"

The train whistle rang out at that moment, interrupting the harmonious conversation.

The Hogwarts Express, accompanied by the clatter of "Kuang-chi," slowly came to a stop in front of the station.

As soon as the train doors opened, Li Wei could hear the flamboyant voices inside, mixed with the scent of expensive perfume.

In that instant, the smiles on his and Professor McGonagall's faces vanished, and they became businesslike.

A group of well-dressed wizard parents, each with their own unique posture, eagerly rushed onto the platform.

As soon as they landed, their gazes swept around like searchlights—and when they saw Levi next to Professor McGonagall, their eyes seemed to flash with golden light for a moment.

With smiles plastered on their faces, they strode forward.

"Professor McGonagall, Professor Levi! It's a pleasure to meet you. I am a representative of the Avery family. My son Justin praised your Duel Tower in his letter and thanked us for our hard work in educating our students!"

"Professor Levy, good day! The Crabbe family sends their greetings. We are deeply grateful for the changes you have brought to Hogwarts. I never imagined my child could grow up to be this great."

"Please allow me to introduce myself. If the McMillan family has some free time later, could I have an in-depth discussion with you about your treasured book?"
I wrote to you before, I don't know if you remember.
Facing a group of parents with various motives, Li Wei remained calm and nodded in response.

"He must be Professor Levi—Molly, look! Just looking at him, I can tell he's an exceptionally talented person!"

If I could, I'd really like to find some time to talk to him privately.

Arthur Weasley slowly stepped off the train, nudging his wife lightly with his elbow.

"My God—he looks so young, no wonder he can keep our silly boys so obedient."

"Yes, young people always have more to talk about."

The two stood quietly at the back of the crowd, observing Li Wei with a gentle yet curious gaze in the winter sunlight.
