In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Chapter 89 88. The Balance of Hogwarts Castle

"It has been almost four years since you became the librarian." Snape stared at Quirrell and said in an indifferent voice.

Quirrell's body trembled unconsciously, and he stammered in reply.

"Yes, yes, sir, counting today, this year is already my fourth year at Hogwarts."

"You should know very well that you are not qualified to stay in the castle because of your mixed blood. The master saw that you have solid basic knowledge and respect for knowledge, so he specially approved you to become the 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 The plan to tell Barty Jr. was explained.

"But, but the restricted book area 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's eyes revealed fear, and he spoke quickly, "I was appointed as the librarian only four years ago. The books in the restricted book area were inspected by the previous administrator the year before I took office. According to the records at that time, there was no problem. It's just that this week it's time for inspection again. , I just discovered the problem tonight, and I was ready to report it to my superiors as soon as possible!"

After hearing his explanation, Snape's expression did not change at all, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

"Report to the higher ups? Which higher ups are you talking about? In the absence of the master, who is the manager of this castle?"

Quirrell was obviously stunned by his series of three questions. In the night where the temperature had reached single digits, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead due to nervousness. He hesitated for a long time. Can speak a sentence.

And just when he was in such an embarrassing situation, a sudden voice helped Quirrell get out of the situation.

"Are you a little too sensitive, Snape?"

In the dark corridor, Barty Crouch Jr., who always had a faint smile on his face, walked out of the darkness.

"Although I have not been assigned any management position in the castle by my master, I am still the special commissioner of the Ministry of Magic stationed at Hogwarts. I am directly responsible to the master. If any emergencies occur, they will report to me as soon as possible. , isn’t this also a normal practice?”

After Barty Crouch Jr. also came here, Quirrell and Dolohov consciously shut their mouths completely. There was no room for them to interrupt in the current scene.

Little Barty indeed only has the position of Professor of Charms in Hogwarts Castle, but all the staff in the castle know very well that his status is 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, mixed blood and mudblood, he was also considering who to be the dean of the pure blood and mixed blood colleges.

At that time, almost all Death Eaters believed that one of Bellatrix Lestrange and Barty Crouch Jr. would be the head of the pure-blood academy.

Because these two people can almost be said to be Voldemort's right-hand men. Not only do they come from the purest and oldest pure-blood families, but they also have loyalty that far exceeds everyone else.

But in the end, what no one expected was that Bella was not assigned any nominal duties and was still helping Voldemort indirectly manage the Death Eaters. Barty Jr. did not even mention it and directly announced it. Although Snape was considered the core of the Death Eaters before, his status was far inferior to that of Bella and Barty Jr., and he served as the dean of the pure-blood academy and concurrently served as the only vice-principal.

No one dared to be dissatisfied with Voldemort's decision, but there were also few Death Eaters or Hogwarts faculty members who were convinced that Snape was given this position.

The main reason for this is not that he lacks strength or contribution, but that everyone knows that this pure-blood dean is of mixed-race origin!

In the current magical world where blood is the only rule set by Voldemort, a mixed-blood wizard has a higher status than almost all other pure-bloods, and he also serves as the dean of a pure-blood academy. The veteran purebloods who had been following Voldemort since the beginning felt ashamed.

It is said that Voldemort originally had the idea of ​​letting little Barty serve as the half-blood dean, but then suddenly changed his mind and let a witch from the Greengrass family, who had a gentler attitude compared to other Death Eaters, be the one. Taught the half-blood dean and the transfiguration professor in the castle.

Barty Crouch Jr. was appointed to the ordinary position of Professor of Charms, but in the end he was given the title of Special Commissioner of the Ministry of Magic, which had never existed before, and was directly responsible for Voldemort himself. .

This makes Barty's identity in the castle become transcendent.

The faculty and staff in the castle also formed a slightly strange situation. Although Snape was the nominal vice-principal and had full authority to manage school affairs in the absence of Voldemort, other faculty and staff, even if they were also the same Even Quirrell, who was of mixed-race origin, didn't believe him. He basically just listened to the instructions but not the propaganda.

Little Barty, the professor of the Charms class, has the same authority as the vice-principal due to his background and reputation for ruthlessness. However, he does not have nominal command authority. When something happens to the faculty and staff below, they can Report to Snape as soon as possible or you can go to him.

There is also a small group of professors who just want to teach honestly, including the mixed-race dean, Professor Greengrass, who has always been respected by mixed-race students because of his friendly attitude even though he is of pure-blood origin.

This balance has been stable in Hogwarts Castle for six or seven years, allowing this magic school that Voldemort just took over not long ago to have any troubles. The newly graduated mixed-race students every year are very concerned about the current blood hierarchy in the wizarding world. The level of acceptance is very high.

After all, their lives are no different from before. They just have to hold their noses and accept the privileges of pure blood. The existence of pure blood professors like Greengrass makes them believe that there are still good people among pure blood. Only that one A small group of people will do whatever they want because of such privileges, but some of the benefits that have been usurped by purebloods can also be recovered from the Mudbloods.

As for those mudbloods

The pure-blood and mixed-blood gentlemen are kind-hearted and know that these slaves are not having an easy life, so they simply pretend not to see the existence of these people. Anyway, mudbloods are inherently lowly, and they will look dirty when they see them.

I am waiting for another chapter and it is at this point that I feel a little pain in my waist, but I am still young and there is a high probability that I will not die suddenly. If I accidentally fall asleep in the middle, I will post it in the morning. Anyway, I won’t be there tomorrow.
