Chapter 89 88. Hogwarts Castle Balance
"You have been a librarian for almost four years." Snape stared at Quirrell and said indifferently.
Quirrell trembled unconsciously, and he stammered back.
"Yes, yes, sir, counting today, this year is already my fourth year at Hogwarts."
"You should be very clear that you are not qualified to stay in the castle due to your mixed blood. It is the master who has taken a fancy to your solid basic knowledge and respect for knowledge, so he specially approved you to be a librarian. Is this how you repay your master's trust?"
Snape's voice was not loud, but it was just enough for everyone present to hear. After hearing his last words, Quirrell's body trembled even more. Without hesitation, he eagerly said the original The words planned to be told to Barty Jr. were explained.
"But, but the restricted section of the library, especially the part after the third level, is only allowed to be inspected once every five years according to the rules, sir!" Quirrell said with panic in his eyes, and he spoke quickly, "I was appointed as a librarian four years ago, and the books in the restricted area were checked by the previous administrator the year before I took office. According to the records at that time, there was no problem, but this week it was time to check again. , I just discovered the problem tonight, and I was going to report it to the higher ups immediately!"
After listening to his explanation, Snape's expression didn't change a bit, and there was a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Report to the superior? Which superior are you talking about? Who is the manager of this castle when the owner is not around?"
Quirrell was obviously caught by his series of three questions. In the night when the temperature had reached single digits, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead because of nervousness, and he hesitated for a long time. Can say a word.
And just as he was in such an embarrassing situation at this time, a sudden voice helped Quirrell out of the siege.
"Are you a little too sensitive, Snape?"
In the dark corridor, Barty Crouch Jr., who always had a faint smile on his face, came out of the darkness.
"Although I have not been appointed by the master to any management position in the castle, I am also the special commissioner of the Ministry of Magic stationed in Hogwarts, and I am directly responsible to the master. When encountering any emergencies, they will come to me and report to me immediately. , isn’t this a normal practice?”
After Barty Crouch Jr. also came here, Quirrell and Dolohov consciously and completely shut their mouths, and there is no room for the two of them to intervene in the current scene.
Little Barty did have only one professor of Charms in Hogwarts castle, but all the staff in the castle knew very well that his status was completely different from other professors.
At the beginning, when Voldemort took control of the castle and decided to divide the students into three classes, pure blood, half blood and mudblood, he was also considering who would be the dean of the pure blood and half blood colleges.
Because these two people can almost be said to be the right-hand men of Voldemort's subordinates. Not only did they both come from the purest and most ancient pure-blood families, but they also have loyalty far beyond that of everyone else.
But in the end, what everyone didn't expect was that Bella was not assigned any nominal position, but was still helping Voldemort manage the Death Eaters indirectly, and Barty Jr. didn't even mention it, and announced directly Before that, Snape, who was regarded as the core of the Death Eaters, was far inferior to Bella and Barty Jr., served as the dean of the Pure Blood Academy, and concurrently served as the only vice-principal.
No one dared to have the slightest dissatisfaction with Voldemort's decision-making, but there were also few Death Eaters or Hogwarts faculty and staff who were convinced that Snape was given this position.
The main reason for this is not his lack of strength or contribution, but everyone knows that this pure-blood dean is of mixed blood!
In the blood-only wizarding world according to the rules set by Voldemort, a half-blooded wizard has a higher status than other almost pure-bloods, and he is also the dean of the Pure-blood Academy. This pair of pure-bloods, especially from one The old purebloods who have been following Voldemort since the beginning are ashamed.
It is said that Voldemort originally thought of letting Barty Jr. take the post of half-blood dean, but then suddenly changed his mind and let a witch from the Greengrass family, who was relatively mild compared to other Death Eaters, be her. Attended the half-blood dean and the transfiguration professor in the castle.
And Barty Crouch Jr. was appointed as an ordinary professor of charms, but in the end he was given the title of special commissioner of the Ministry of Magic who was directly responsible to Voldemort himself, which he had never had before. .
This made Barty Jr.'s identity in the castle detached.
The teaching staff in the castle also formed a slightly weird situation. Although Snape was the nominal vice-principal and had full authority to manage school affairs in the absence of Voldemort, the other teaching staff, even if they were also Quirrell, who was of mixed blood, didn't even believe him, basically he was in a state of listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement.
Little Batty, the professor of Charms, has the same authority as the vice-principal because of Gen Zhengmiaohong's background and reputation, but he doesn't have command authority in name. Report to Snape in the first place or go to him.
There are also a small group of professors who just want to teach honestly, including the mixed-race dean, Professor Greenglass, who has always been respected by mixed-race students because of his friendly attitude even though he was born in pure blood.
This kind of balance has been stable in Hogwarts Castle for six or seven years, so that there has been no trouble in this magic school that Voldemort just took over, and the mixed-race students who graduate every year are very familiar with the current blood hierarchy in the magic world. Acceptance is very high.
After all, their life is no different from the past, they just have to hold their noses to accept the privilege of pure blood, and the existence of a pure blood professor like Greenglass makes them believe that there are still good people among pure blood, only that one A small group of people will act recklessly because of such privileges, but some of the benefits that were also occupied by pure blood can be recovered from the mudblood.
As for those Mudbloods
The pure-blood and mixed-race gentlemen are kind-hearted. Knowing that these slaves have a hard time, they simply pretend not to see the existence of these people. Anyway, Mudbloods are lowly, and they will make their eyes dirty when they see them.
Waiting for another chapter, I’ve come to this point, I feel a little pain in my waist, but I’m still young, there’s a high probability that I won’t die suddenly, if I accidentally fall asleep halfway, I’ll post it in the morning, anyway, tomorrow won’t be sdfaklsdjflkasfhjkasdfhjlasdh
