[Zhongyingmei] My students are not right

The headmaster's office is brightly lit all year round, according to the neatly stacked books on the shelves and the silverware collected by Dumbledore. The students satirize it as a standard Gryffindor feature, but it has to be said that people can feel a very comfortable affinity when they are in it, and it is very harmonious with the old headmaster's temperament.

It's just that Claire's expression is indifferent at this time, just like the thick ice and snow on the roof of Hogsmeade in winter.

Dumbledore looked at the students who stood like two stone statues at the door of the office, then looked at Claire, frowned, and asked, "Claire, you... want to resign?"

Claire wanted to see the expression of the ancestor in the current portrait, but at this moment, she seemed to lose her courage.

"You still want to ask Severus to help you?"

The light that shot at her from the side was even fiercer, and Claire didn't even dare to make a sound this time.

Dumbledore sighed: "Toby and Ethan go back and finish your labor service first, I will try my best to persuade Professor Lagerfeld."

The two students looked at Dumbledore, then at Claire, and silently exited the principal's office, closing the door behind them.

Claire turned her head and watched the two teenagers close the door from the outside, and then heard Dumbledore's voice with a smile: "Claire is thinking of arranging a few inches of papers for the two of them today as revenge."

Claire coughed a few times, turned her head, and faced Dumbledore with a bit of embarrassment in her eyes.

Yes, Dumbledore was absolutely right.

"You are still the same as before, unyielding and narrow-minded." Dumbledore said so, looking at Claire with a smile in his eyes, as if recalling the fun stories of the younger generation when they were young, "Why did you choose Severus? I remember that the two of you didn't seem to have a good relationship since you were students."

Not only is it not very good, it is like fire and water.

Back then, because of Snape, Claire's Potions class was always second in ten thousand years, and because of Claire, Snape's Defense Against the Dark Arts was always second in ten thousand years.It's just that Claire's struggle with Snape is much more positive than the Gryffindor foursome who are always playing pranks on Snape.

But the academic struggle is a war without gunpowder.

Now Claire will think of the intersection between her student days and Snape, that is, there is a special small notebook, remembering that the nasty Snape in Slytherin was praised by Professor Slughorn several times this semester, and she is better than him. He missed a few times, and he must come back in Defense Against the Dark Arts class...

"It's because the relationship is not very good, so I let Professor Snape take over as a substitute." Claire said, "Principal, you also know that I have lived in dire straits this year."

If she could, she would have liked to see the unlucky Snape, who was always sullen.

Dumbledore shook his head and said, "I thought you could break the curse."

Claire also shook her head: "Principal, that's volt..." She paused, "The curse cast by the person who can't even say his name, my research on black magic has not gone deep enough to unravel his curse." The point of curse."

She looked at Dumbledore, wanting to say something more, but seeing Dumbledore's aging cheeks, she still held back her words.

After she returned to Hogwarts to teach, it wasn't that she hadn't thought about breaking the curse, but the more she studied, the more she found that Voldemort's research on black magic was really amazing, but there was no way to break the curse.

The only way to break the curse is for the caster to die.

Although Claire has traveled the world with her friends after graduation, she still knows a thing or two about the battle between the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix in the magic world.The omnipotent Voldemort died ten years ago at the hands of a newborn baby.

But this curse has always existed, so there is only one reason.

Voldemort is still alive.

Claire did not tell other people about this research result. After all, in the current wizarding world, even Voldemort's name is afraid to say it. If this result is made public, it will cause unpredictable turmoil.

Dumbledore saw that she was hesitant to speak, but didn't ask any more, just said: "I believe that the reason why you want to resign is not just because of the little fight between Slytherin and Gryffindor."

"Principal, are you sure it was just a small fight?" Claire said with difficulty.

Dumbledore smiled: "The golden boy next semester—that is, the child who defeated that person, Harry Potter is about to enter school, aren't you curious?"

"A boy who can even kill a mysterious person! Isn't that even more dangerous!" Claire was terrified.

"Okay, okay." Dumbledore shook his head, he turned his head and looked at Principal Lagerfeld's portrait, "Principal Lagerfeld, don't scare this poor great-granddaughter with your hawk-like eyes anymore , In fact, for her, there are more important things to do." He turned his head to look at Claire, his expression became serious, "Claire, I got the news that your father, the last place where he appeared should be at Krakow in Poland."

Claire was taken aback, and then heard Dumbledore say: "After the last class is over, you can go to Poland. I know you have always wanted to know the cause of your father's death."

The cause of death of Edward Lagerfeld and Rita Jones has always been a mystery.

Claire was sent to Carly Jones' home by her parents when she was less than one year old. She was accompanied by several wizards who shared the same goals as Edward. That was the first time that Carly Jones knew that she had been missing for two years. The younger sister has a private life with a wizard, and is determined to live a wandering life with her wizard boyfriend.

Carly Jones couldn't persuade her younger sister, but said that her younger sister must write a letter every month to report to her family that she was safe, and Rita immediately agreed.

Every month since then, Carly will receive a letter from an owl, which contains Rita's travel experience and Edward's novelty along with the letter. Carly will also attach Claire's photo to the reply letter. To those irresponsible young parents.

And this kind of correspondence came to an abrupt end in the summer when Claire was three years old. Carly did not wait for a letter from her sister to report her safety, but an owl covered in blood.

The wizard Edward and his lover Rita have since disappeared, neither alive nor dead.

And now, Dumbledore tells Claire that someone met Edward and Rita in Krakow, Poland, a week before they disappeared.

Poland, Krakow.

Claire supported her chin with one hand, and wrote the place name on the parchment with a quill pen in the other hand. Her eyes were a little empty, and the movements of her hands were unconsciously repeated.

Elena jumped on her lap and meowed a few times before she came back to her senses, and then looked down. The students were sitting in their seats in a neat manner, with their heads buried in their books, and no one was there. whispering to each other.

At this time, in the Hogwarts auditorium, the final exam of Defense Against the Dark Arts is going on. Claire saves trouble, and there is only one final exam topic, which briefly introduces the ten weaknesses of the Balkan dragon and the attack plan against the weakness. The paper is no less than four. Inches, written in two hours.

Claire rubbed Elena's fluffy head, and then put the quill on the parchment written with "Krakow".

At this time, there was a sound of flapping wings coming from far and near. Claire looked up and saw a white owl flapping its wings and flying into the Hogwarts auditorium. He turned his head and watched the owl almost pounce on Claire's table.

The sharp-eyed Clare recognized the owl as the one that was about to fly to the other side of the Atlantic with the letter she wrote to Aunt Carly when she saw the tired face of the owl.

She quickly hugged the owl in her arms, and sure enough, she found an envelope tied at the owl's feet.

She opened her eyes wide, swallowed, opened the envelope with trembling hands, and took out a piece of letterhead filled with Aunt Carly's gorgeous and exaggerated calligraphy.

Aunt Carly first welcomed Claire's decision to return to the United States, and then said that she has now moved to West Chester, Pennsylvania, a small town close to New York, where the pace of life is slower than in New York It is very suitable for Claire to slowly adapt to the world of ordinary people, and recently there is a Xavier gifted youth school in the town that is recruiting a teacher of theology. She made a resume for Claire and handed it to the teacher of that school, and then got I replied, hoping that Claire can report to the school before September.

Claire frowned tightly, her eyes lingering on the words "teacher of theology class" for a long time.

"Teacher?" Her voice trembled slightly.

Why, what in the ordinary Muggle world, was she still going to be a teacher? !

She put the letter into the pocket of the wizard robe, and then looked up, but saw rows of students staring at her. She raised her eyebrows and said, "There is still half an hour left."

As soon as the words fell, the students suddenly remembered that it was time for the exam, and immediately continued to work hard to compile the ten weaknesses of the Balkan dragon. Claire picked up the quill and wrote "Krakow" on the parchment. "Two months" was written.

If she had to report to the Xavier School for Gifted Teenagers before September, she would have two months to go to Krakow, Poland, to find clues about her parents' death.
