Hogwarts Collector, I cast a spell with the Eye of God - Chapter 122
“How long have you been teaching at Hogwarts?”
After realizing that he was no match for Snape, Dawlish began to change his strategy and tried to obtain information through normal interrogation.
“It’s been eleven years.” Snape’s face showed a little impatience.
These people from the Ministry of Magic should have known his situation well. After all, he had been imprisoned in Azkaban and interrogated, and he was very familiar with the routines of the Aurors in handling cases.
“You originally applied to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, didn’t you?” Dawlish carefully avoided Snape’s eyes to avoid being attacked by Legilimency again.】
“That’s right.” Snape whispered back
“But he was not selected?” Dawlish continued to ask.
Snape curled his lips,”Isn’t it obvious?”
“Since you entered Hogwarts, you have applied several times to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, right?” Dawlish continued to ask.
“Yes.” Snape frowned, obviously a little annoyed.
“Do you know why Professor Dumbledore repeatedly rejected you?” Dawlish tried to dig deeper information.
“He’s probably afraid that I’ll die.” Snape answered stiffly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
He paused and continued,”Perhaps you don’t know yet, but most of the professors in this school are just idling around, and there are only a few who are truly capable. And I’m the best one. He’s afraid that something will happen to me, because once something happens to me, no one will be able to help him. After all, Professor Dumbledore is a complete idiot!”
“You… are really brave to say that.” Dawlish’s tone was obviously unhappy.
He snorted coldly and continued,”Then, can I understand it this way, that you were jealous of Professor Quirrell getting the position you always wanted, so you poisoned him to death?”
Snape raised his eyebrows and retorted,”You can drink potions casually, but you can’t say anything casually.”
“Professor Dumbledore asked me to brew that bottle of poison, I was just following orders. Moreover, the potion has been diluted, even if you drink it directly, it will only make you feel uncomfortable for a while, it won’t kill you at all… Anyway, there is still some residue in the potion bottle, you can check it yourself when you go back!”
“But Quirrell himself said that you poisoned him, how do you explain that?” Dawlish was relentless:”Also, Dumbledore asked you to boil the medicine and you did it without even asking what it was for?”
Snape’s tone was firm:”I told you, that kind of poison can’t kill anyone!”
“Please answer my question directly!” Dawlish turned a deaf ear to his explanation.
Snape’s mouth curled up with disdain, and his tone was sharp:”He is the principal of this school, how dare I disobey his order? Maybe tomorrow my position as Potions Professor will be replaced by someone else. By then, will the Ministry of Magic be kind enough to arrange a new job for me?”
Dawlish pressed on:”Then why did Professor Dumbledore ask you to prepare the poison? Did he already know that Quirrell’s true identity was a dark wizard?” Snape snorted coldly:”I have no way of knowing that, maybe you should ask him directly. Of course, maybe he knows it earlier than you Aurors.”
“What do you mean by that?” Dawlish’s eyes were blazing as he stared at Snape fiercely.
Snape shrugged his shoulders and said sarcastically,”Your Ministry of Magic is always a step late. You didn’t even notice the dark wizards hiding in Hogwarts! Instead of arguing with me here, you should improve your professional skills. If you had a little bit of real ability, you might have brought Quirrell to justice long ago.”……”
Snape’s words were like knives, piercing people’s hearts. Dawlish wanted to punch him several times, but he finally endured it.
He would fight on Dumbledore’s territory unless he didn’t want the position of Auror anymore!
Dawlish and Kingsley interrogated him for a while, but they couldn’t get any useful information out of Snape, so they had to admit defeat.
After the interrogation, Professor Snape left the classroom, and soon Ye Ting walked in.
However, he was not followed by the two strong interrogators. Instead, there was an elderly witch.
She looked to be in her forties or fifties, with short gray hair and dark pupils with some vicissitudes.
What was surprising was that she was so old, but she was wearing a pink dress, a color that usually only young girls could wear with charm, and the style of the dress seemed old and conservative, which was incompatible with the color she wore.
This strong contrast made people think of the funny picture of an old woman acting coquettishly.
If it was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, this kind of coquetry might seem cute and playful; but on an older woman, it exudes an indescribable sense of horror.
The most important thing is that the face looks exactly like Umbridge before.
The witch was obviously very good at observing people’s words and expressions. Seeing Ye Ting’s observing eyes, she deliberately pouted her lips and smiled in a coquettish tone:”Why, don’t my clothes look good?”
Ye Ting came back to his senses, and immediately put on a flattering smile, complimenting:”No, no, old… Auntie, you look good in anything you wear.”
“Aunt……”
The woman’s face changed slightly, and she seemed not satisfied with the title.
She pulled the corner of her mouth and said,”Little brother, don’t call me that. I’m only 18 years old this year.”
Ye Ting pretended to be honest and simple, and deliberately said,”Oh? Your daughter is 18 years old, right? Maybe she is one of my senior schoolmates. Tell me her name quickly, I might know her!”
“”Get away from me, why don’t you just die!” The woman was like a lit firecracker, she suddenly took out her magic wand, as if to cast a curse on Ye Ting.
However, in the face of her anger, Ye Ting held his head high, his face full of provocation, as if to say:”Come and try if you have the guts.”
Seeing that she couldn’t scare Ye Ting, the old woman slowly put down her magic wand, tilted her head, and raised the corner of her mouth to smile – this kind of action that looks very cute on a little girl, but it looks particularly disgusting when she does it.
Then, she fumbled in her pocket and took out a bottle of transparent liquid
“”Little brother,” she grinned,”this is a strong truth serum. If you don’t want me to tell you about your bed-wetting as a child, just tell me the truth!”
Ye Ting got close to the”truth serum” and sniffed it, sniffing his nose with an expression that showed he knew everything:”The smell is too light, and there’s a hint of astringency… Your truth serum, I’m afraid it’s expired? Tonks… Aunt?!”
Nymphadora Tonks was hit in the sore spot, and angrily threw the bottle at Ye Ting!
Ye Ting just snapped his fingers, and the bottle suddenly stopped in mid-air.
He easily pinched the bottle with one hand, brought it to his mouth, licked it with his tongue, and smiled:”This is… the raw cheek grass juice from the Three Broomsticks Bar, with a little euphoria, and a lot of cherry syrup added. It tastes good!”
“”Of course!” he exclaimed,”This special drink is not cheap. It seems that graduates are really different. They have more money and even drink drinks so luxuriously.”
As he said this, Ye Ting raised his head and drank the drink in the bottle in one breath.
“Hey, hey! You!”
Tonks rushed over and snatched back the empty bottle.
She squinted her eyes and looked inside, but found that there was not a drop left. She raised her head angrily and stared at Ye Ting with wide eyes, as if she wanted to eat him alive.
But her eyes rolled and a pitiful expression immediately appeared on her face.”I’m still in the probation period, and it’s only thirty Galleons a month. I finally made up my mind to reward myself.……”
Just like before, the same expression, on the girl, it was pitiful.
On this face of Umbridge… (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Ye Ting shuddered instantly.
He admitted that he was disgusted.
“If you are really thirsty, you can drink this.” Ye Ting took out a bottle of drink from his hat as if he were the god of plague and gently threw it to Tonks.
Tonks caught it steadily and took a closer look. It was a glass of Honeydukes lemon iceberg soda, her favorite drink.
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she retracted her magic power:”Thanks, junior.”
As Ye Ting snapped his fingers again, a chair appeared out of thin air.
Tonks sat down with a smile and drank the drink in her hand in one breath. Then she asked curiously:”Ye Ting, we seem to have never met each other before. How did you know this is mine?”
Ye Ting glanced at her and reminded her:”Can you return to your original state first? I am not used to seeing you like this.”
“I think so too!” Tonks nodded.
Then, he closed his eyes tightly, with a tense and solemn expression on his face, as if he was trying to recall something.
Just one second later, her face began to change magically: the wrinkles gradually disappeared, the color of her hair gradually deepened, and finally turned into a pink color that matched the dress.
Ye Ting was secretly surprised. For a moment, he even suspected that Tonks would become a red-haired girl with blue scales all over her body.
However, when the change froze, what appeared in front of him was a youthful 18-year-old girl.
She has a beautiful heart-shaped face, bright black eyes flashing with heroic light, and a shawl of pink hair is very charming.
It is indeed a beautiful girl[]
Tonks took out a mirror from her pocket and turned her head left and right to admire her new hairstyle from different angles.
Then, she raised her head and asked expectantly,”How is it? Does it look good?”
Ye Ting leaned back in his chair and said in a relaxed manner,”Aunt Tonks, you look good no matter what.”
“Don’t call me auntie! I’m only eighteen!” Tonks turned her head away in annoyance.
Ye Ting smiled and joked,”Generally speaking, there is a generation gap between people at the age of three. You are seven or eight years older than me, so there is nothing wrong with calling you auntie.”
Tonks entered the school in 1984 and graduated last July.
That is to say, Ye Ting entered the school after she graduated, and the two just missed each other.
Tonks was born in Hufflepuff House, and she was considered a celebrity of her generation. Many of the senior students today were her friends in the past, such as Penelope, George and Fred. Ye Ting also heard of Tonks’ name from them.
Like the twins, Tonks was the troublemaker at Hogwarts.
Her favorite thing to do was to dress up as a professor, wander around, and make the campus a mess.
She once stole a poisonous tentacle from Professor Sprout, intending to use it to play a prank on Filch, but it accidentally fell into the Potions classroom and Professor Snape was caught red-handed.
This incident brought the relationship between Tonks and Professor Snape to a freezing point – perhaps because of this, she did not participate in the interrogation of Snape just now.
“Hey, it’s just some little pranks,” Tonks shook her head helplessly,”Why make such a fuss about it?”
“Who told you to disgust me with that face?”
Ye Ting snorted and said half-jokingly,”Unless you can conjure up a few more pretty faces to make me feel better, I will not forgive you easily.”
“”Hey, are you saying that my face is not pretty?” When Tonks heard this, she immediately put her hands on her hips and glared at Ye Ting.
Seeing this, Ye Ting couldn’t help laughing.
Then, he began to look Tonks up and down, as if he was carefully evaluating a work of art.
Tonks’ cheeks turned slightly red at his direct gaze.
After a long while, Ye Ting nodded seriously and uttered two words (Qian Nuohao):”Not bad.”
This really pissed Tonks off, and her hair turned a fiery red with anger, like a burning flame.
“Hey, take another good look at it for me!” Tonks pulled her delicate cheeks that were rich in collagen,”I pinched it on purpose… I have such a beautiful face, and you just give me an evaluation of it?”
“What else do you want me to say?” Ye Ting did not give in, but retorted:”No matter how pretty you are, can you be as pretty as me?”
“I……”
Tonks once again looked at the handsome face in front of her with an exotic look, and her face involuntarily flushed again, and even her hair became more pink.
“Not really.” She muttered softly.
Ye Ting was even more confident:”So, for people with the same level of appearance as me, my evaluation is okay, do you have any objection?”
“No no……”
Tonks waved her hands quickly, indicating that she dared not object.
She and Ye Ting were of the same level in terms of looks… After being”criticized” by Ye Ting, Tonks actually felt a little… a little happy.
“……How about this?”Tunks raised her head, her eyes sparkling with a bright light, and looked at Ye Ting and said
“Tell me, how did you know that old lady was mine? I tried many times, but no one else could tell.……”
She made a condition:”If you tell me your secret, I will promise to transform you into more beauties later, how about that?”
Tonks is a Metamorphmagus, who is born with the ability to change her appearance at will without any training.
Basically, she is the same as the shapeshifter in Marvel’s mutants.
“”Do you keep your word?” Ye Ting raised his eyebrows and asked
“Keep your word and tell me quickly~” Tonks urged anxiously.
