The happiness of HP

The students of Hogwarts gathered around the auditorium excitedly, looking at the posted notices.The notice stated that delegations from several wizarding schools from all over the world would arrive at Hogwarts in 3 days.Each delegation will consist of a team leader, two young teachers and ten students.This was the biggest event in the magic world after the Ambucia Fair five years ago, and it naturally attracted the attention of the entire magic world.This grand event has been in preparation for three years, and the International Magic Cooperation Departments of various countries have also engaged in verbal battles during the three years.Severus had participated in relevant meetings as an exchange representative of Hogwarts in the UK. It is said that a certain enthusiastic and beautiful American girl fell in love with Severus at those exchange meetings.However, Severus had no impression of this. To him, participating in those exchange meetings was simply unspeakable bad luck. At that time, it would be better to be with Harry, even if it was just idling on the Muggle streets. Ma Lu had to go over to attend such a "meeting".

Hogwarts has also assigned the house elves to clean and arrange according to the requirements of the Department of International Magical Cooperation. Under Severus' calm arrangement, the professors are proceeding in an orderly manner according to the plan, and they are able to cope with the related work with ease. The young professors had to secretly admire the headmaster who made the perfect plan, and felt that Dumbledore's successor should indeed be Severus, and Slytherin's meticulousness and thoughtfulness were perfected at this time show.

In fact, what the professors didn't know was that 80% of the plans in their hands were independently made by Harry.However, there is not much difference. After all, Hogwarts has a headmaster and a vice-headmaster. After all, they are both headmasters. It doesn't matter who Mr. Headmaster refers to.At least, Harry himself didn't care that much.

While the students were excitedly gathering under the bulletin board, a not-so-easy conversation was going on in the principal's reception room on the 8th floor of Hogwarts—

Roger.It has been two years since Davids took office as the director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation. In the past two years, because of the preparations for this grand event in the magic education circle and the frequent exchanges with Severus, it is natural to know how meticulous this professor is. Yes, unlike Dumbledore's unconstrained style, as a Slytherin, Headmaster Snape has the instinct to pursue perfection.Talking to him is not only to learn to resist the venom, but also to be extremely careful, so as not to fall into the trap set by some Mr. Principal during the conversation.

You must know that the number of times he fell into the trap was not once or twice, and he also did a lot of related work because of these traps.Although it is not a big deal to do more work, because Severus is one of the teachers he respects, not to mention, Ginny and Harry have a good relationship, he is somewhat concerned about the share between Severus and Harry. Nowadays, there are still quite a few people who have sympathy and sympathy, and they don't have many complaints if they can help Severus spend more time with Harry.However, the feeling of always falling into a trap in the middle of a conversation is somewhat unpleasant.

"Professor Snape, do you really plan to use these ten students? With all due respect, as the host, if you lose, it will not look good." Director Davis frowned.

Sitting in his seat, Severus was not annoyed after hearing this, but just picked up his glass and took a sip of white water.I couldn't help but let out a curse in my heart - he was going to starve to death these days.The sense of taste developed by Harry can only drink plain water as a daily drink after Harry left. Neither humans nor house elves can taste the tea and coffee made by Harry, including honey and fruit juice. He's tried it all.He found that besides water and wine, he could no longer accept drinks that were not prepared by Harry.Rather, Severus was a Slytherin after all.Moreover, between wine and water, he can only choose water as his daily drink.As for wine?Even though Severus could drink quite well and tasted good, he always had a restrained attitude towards alcohol.On weekdays, I only try a little sleep aid before going to bed, and it is also a way to warm up the body. After all, the temperature in the cellar is low.

Occasionally having a few drinks with Harry is for peace and relaxation, and Harry also likes wine tasting very much.But he will never use alcohol as a drink during working hours, not only because of the constraints of professional ethics, but also because his father died of alcoholism, so he naturally excludes alcohol in his daily drink choices.Therefore, he personally felt that if Harry didn't return for a long time, the cause of his death would definitely be nothing but "starvation".

"I thought you were questioning my decision?" Although Severus had a very calm expression, the words sounded a bit dangerous to Mr. Davis.

"Uh, it's just that..." Mr. Davis considered the appropriate words.

"I thought you were my student too?" Severus looked up at Ravenclaw, who was slightly older than his partner, with a half-smile.

"When...Of course, sir." Davis was a little cautious, and he suddenly realized that he might not be qualified to bring up this topic in this regard.At present, there is no one in Hogwarts who is more worried about the possibility of losing than the headmaster. Moreover, this is a Slytherin, a Slytherin who attaches great importance to glory!

Roger.Mr. Davis suddenly felt a pain in his throat. Regardless of his personality, the headmaster of Hogwarts now has more than 20 years of teaching experience. It seems that there are very few such professors in all magic schools.Even Beauxbaton's headmaster, Mrs. Hagrid, is not as senior as he is, not to mention those newly established magic schools. Few of the current professors in the three major magic schools in Europe are better than this Huo in terms of teaching experience. Mr. Gewarz is the youngest headmaster in history.Among the current professors in the entire magic education circle, I am afraid that no one has more say in teaching issues than him.

"Well, Mr. Davis...you are a Ravenclaw, probably your high IQ and learning instincts will never allow you to understand the psychological state of students with average grades and students with poor grades." Silk There was a bit of disdain in the smooth and smooth voice, but it had to be said that Severus was still somewhat patient with the clever Ravenclaw.

"Uh, professor, I would like to hear more about it." Ravenclaw was very curious about this, and at the same time, his inquiring nature made him ask the senior professor.

"Although, to me, no matter what your grades are, you are just a group of little monsters stuffed with Achnatherum splendens in your head, but students with poor grades have less room for improvement than students with average grades, just like a cup, The less water we have in it, the more water we can add. For a professor, how to reflect his own teaching value? It will never be to teach excellent students to be better, because for excellent For students, they are like cups that are almost full. As professors, we can give very little. Although there are some things that can change the quality, it is like adding coffee powder or milk powder to white water, but it reflects The value obtained is not intuitive enough, because their quantity is not large. After all, the competition is only half a semester, and it is very difficult to change the quality of a student in half a semester. Therefore, the competition estimate can only be measured by the amount of progress. This is The most important thing is how much we can add," Severus said.

"I understand. Extremely poor grades mean that as long as there is an opportunity, it is possible to improve more? But, professor, the organizing committee didn't say that the degree of improvement is the criterion for judging? Besides, why didn't anyone in other schools think of it? What about this aspect?" Davis is really puzzled about this aspect, if it is really as Professor Snape said, then even if those new schools are not aware of it, but Beauxbatons and Durmster It was impossible for Ron not to realize this.

"No, in fact, they are all aware of it. It's just to give others a false picture, so the students reported are all poor students." Speaking of this, Severus showed a sarcastic smile.

"Professor, what do you mean? Did they fake the students' grades?" Davis was very surprised.

"No, it can't be said to be a fake." Severus said, "Information shows that these students are indeed poor students. However, there is a difference between poor students and poor students. Most of the poor students they brought in were not because they refused to work hard Most of the students who are poor students have certain learning disabilities—students who refuse to learn or have not mastered the essentials of learning for a long time. It is very easy for professors to teach students who are unwilling to work hard and become poor students. As long as you are behind such students and urge them desperately, they will be able to make their grades. However, it is difficult for students with learning disabilities to improve their grades in a short period of time, because most of these students need to understand It takes a long time to get in touch with their mental state. As I said earlier, it is very difficult to change the quality of a student with excellent grades, and it is even more difficult to change the mental state of a student. Impossible."

"In this case, Professor Snape, Hogwarts should also have this kind of students? Why not..." Davis asked.

"Most of the poor students at Hogwarts are concentrated in Hufflepuff and Gryffindor. Of course, there are also Slytherins. Of course, if the nobles of Slytherin are selected to participate in such a blatantly telling others I am a poor student, and I guess no one would be willing, so I don’t think about Slytherin. Harry is now the head of Slytherin, and he expressed his disapproval to insult his students like this.” Having said that, Severus paused for a moment, and saw Mr. Davis' stunned expression, he continued to explain, "Hufflepuffs work hard, and the poor students among them are often really learning disabilities, but if Picking these little monsters is nothing more than a second blow to their psychology, and it may be difficult for them to stand up again. Although I have a mean temper, I never want to let my students lose the opportunity to stand up." Severus said lightly, but these words made Davis really feel that the professor had never seen him clearly when he was in school. Perhaps, only Harry saw the beauty and softness hidden under his venom back then. "As for Gryffindor, most of the poor students are made by themselves. As long as someone forces them, they will definitely improve. You probably discovered that among the students I selected for the competition, there is one thing in common, that is, They are Gryffindors. I can say that they are allowed to go because of the friendly spirit of the hosts. In this way, they will probably burst into heroism and take it for granted, and will not hit these students who don't have many learning concepts in their brains. In addition, most of these students are content with the status quo. If you still don't understand, then I have to suspect that the Sorting Hat has been poisoned by Dumbledore's desserts to the point of losing its mind."

"Uh, professor, I didn't expect you to think about it this way before, and think about it so thoroughly. More importantly, you are willing to say it so peacefully." Davis was very surprised by this.

"Harry feels that, now that I'm the headmaster of Hogwarts, I have to change my way of speaking on some occasions. Although I think this is torture for me, he is right." Severus felt a little uncomfortable said.

"Professor, I have never been able to understand why Harry chose you, nor why Dumbledore handed over the principal to you. But now it seems that he is indeed right, and Dumbledore is also right. Professor, you really It's the best one." Davis stood up and bowed respectfully to the professor for the first time from the bottom of his heart.

Severus was a little overwhelmed by this, and he immediately used Occlumency on reflex.

"From today onwards, I will support you in any decision you make about the game. Professor Snape, I think I should leave. Thank you for everything you have done." Davis said as he walked into the fireplace.

"The little troll..." Severus murmured softly after the flames faded.

It feels good to be recognized...

More importantly, he agreed with Harry's choice.
