Time goes back to an hour ago.

Snape strode into the headmaster's office, his face tense, but it was not difficult to see that he was very annoyed at the moment.

"Principal! Principal Dumbledore!"

Dumbledore raised his head from the table, "Ah~ Severus, what can I do for you?"

Snape stood in front of him, but he did not sit down, but kicked away the stool that was in the way. There was a table between them, and he asked angrily: "You recruited Felix Happ to teach in the school? What do you think!"

Dumbledore put down the book at hand, "Severus, I don't see any problem. Mr. Happ is very outstanding. His talent is recognized by the wizarding world, of course, including me."

Snape was quite impatient: "I didn't say he was incompetent! I taught him before, and I know what kind of person he is."

"Indeed, you once commented on him, 'a standard Slytherin'-a very high evaluation." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Snape's face was ugly, "I didn't praise him with this sentence."-but mocked him.

Dumbledore nodded, "We all have some understanding of Mr. Hep. I also know what you are worried about. Since he will teach at Hogwarts, this issue is worth our time. Let's sit down and talk slowly." He waved his hand and called back the stool.

Snape sat down stiffly, as if there was not a cushion under his butt, but a fire-breathing dragon.

"Pumpkin juice? Tea? Or a cup of butter beer?" Dumbledore asked. With every word he said, a cup appeared out of thin air.

"I don't need it." Snape was very unimpressive.

"Then a cup of tea, Mr. Hep likes it very much." Dumbledore put a cup of tea in front of Snape.

But looking at Snape, it seems that he swallowed a fly.

Dumbledore said gently: "Let's talk about it. I also had some misunderstandings about Mr. Hep in the past, but as he grew up, my view of him also changed. It was not until recently that I had an in-depth communication with him that I finally made up my mind to hire him."

"I think you are old and confused." Snape sneered.

"Although I am old, I have become more sober over the years. We are always more likely to make mistakes when we are young, aren't we?"

Snape snorted, and then said: "Felix is ​​not a good guy. He relied on his strength to do whatever he wanted in school and caused so much trouble!"

"Do you know how I got through those years? Because of him, I almost know most of the pure-blood families in Britain!"

"I receive their complaint letters almost every day!"

Dumbledore seemed to smile, but he quickly covered his mouth and took a big sip of pumpkin juice. He agreed: "Indeed, Mr. Hep was crazy about power when he was in the lower grades, but we all know that there is a reason for this, right?"

Snape pursed his lips and said nothing.

He certainly knew that Felix was in a bad situation at the time, even worse than his own situation back then. At least his enemies were not from his own college.

Dumbledore said calmly: "Minerva once complained to me that the Sorting Hat could not accurately sort students into the appropriate colleges. She always thought that Mr. Happ should go to Gryffindor. What do you think?"

"That boy is a typical Slytherin." Snape said the same words as before in a sarcastic tone.

"I agree with this." Dumbledore nodded, "Mr. Happ... he is an outstanding wizard, extremely outstanding, one of the most talented people I have ever seen in my life. He has always been pursuing power, I can see this very clearly, even if he rarely shows it after the fifth year, but he has never stopped pursuing power."

"Even after graduation, this is still the case. This is what I was most worried about at the time."

Snape listened quietly. He did not deny Dumbledore's wisdom. The old man's experience was legendary. He planned to listen first to what made him change his mind.

"He applied to stay on at school when he graduated. Frankly speaking, he was more than capable enough. In fact, in the subject of Charms alone, he was better than I used to be. But I still rejected him, not only because he was too young, but also because of the ambition he couldn't hide in his eyes. I was afraid he would go astray."

"But fortunately, he followed my advice. After finishing his first year of traveling, he settled in the Muggle world and began to study Muggles. It was also at this time that he and I kept exchanging letters."

Snape listened quietly. He didn't expect that the two of them would have such an experience. You know, when he learned that Felix had become an expert in Muggle research, his eyes almost popped out!

"Maybe he is pretending." Snape said reluctantly.

"No, no, Severus," Dumbledore retorted, "I can still see through people's hearts. These are the advantages of living a long life. Even without magic, I can know what most people are thinking."

"From the time he entered school until now, he has not shown any discrimination against Muggles. On the contrary, he has studied the Muggle world very deeply, and there is clear evidence of this in his books. He does not think that wizards are superior to humans. On the contrary, he constantly draws wisdom from the Muggle world."

Snape retorted: "I didn't say he discriminates against Muggles, Dumbledore! But his thoughts are equally dangerous. Do you know what he said in his book "How Muggles Think?"

He quickly recited a passage as if reciting a book: "Bloodline theory is also prevalent in the Muggle world, but unlike the wizarding world, more and more Muggle countries are abandoning this theory. This is due to their production efficiency being hundreds and thousands of times higher than before. Adequate materials have laid a solid foundation for their promotion of education, and those civilians who do not have good bloodlines have shown extremely exaggerated potential, making the development speed of the Muggle world like riding a flying broom. "

Seeing that Dumbledore wanted to interrupt, Snape continued to recite a passage regardless: "In the Muggle world, if the proportion of nobles is one, then the proportion of civilians is more than ten thousand. And when the rulers liberated the civilians, their development efficiency broke through all obstacles with unstoppable force!" The entire

principal's office became silent.

Even the portraits of the principals who were listening on the side opened their mouths. These words seemed to have no mention of the magic world, but were simply an introduction and analysis of the development process of the Muggle world, but they alluded to the current magic world everywhere.

One of the portraits was indignant and shouted loudly: "This is betrayal! Betrayal of the glory of pure blood!"

Other portraits also began to chatter.

Snape glanced at the portrait and taunted: "Principal Black, that kid is not a pure blood!"
