Chapter 222: Beginning Teaching Assistant Work
The mouse ran away, which showed that it was guilty. Even Professor McGonagall, who had held out a glimmer of hope, lost hope and her expression immediately became stiffer than a statue.
Dumbledore walked slowly and steadily to the mouse and picked it up, "Professor Lupin, it seems your friends don't want to see you!"
"Professor Dumbledore, but I have a lot to say to him," Lupin's hands were still shaking.
"Excuse me, professors, I want to interrupt," Sainz raised his hand and pointed at his watch, "Now that things are clear, I think I can leave."
"I'm sorry, Autumn, I've kept you for so long. Go back and rest."
Sainz glanced at Peter, who was tied up like a dumpling, and said goodbye to the professors in the office, "Goodbye, professors, I wish you have a pleasant evening."
Coming out of Old Deng's office, he looked at his watch and said, "Fortunately, it's not curfew yet, so there's no need to hide."
In fact, after so many years, Filch no longer insisted on catching Sainz. He had realized that he couldn't do it.
The reason why Sai left early was that he didn't want to waste time and he also didn't want to hear about the bullshit that happened to the former foursome.
Snape is certainly not a good person, and the four men are not good people either.
The reason why they become positive characters is entirely due to the contrast with their peers.
Now that Peter has fallen into the hands of Old Deng, I believe he will play the role he should play. At least he will be able to exonerate the big black dog.
Sai did all these things simply because he felt that Harry was indeed not an easy child. He should have an elder who cared about him as soon as possible so that he could enjoy some family warmth.
As for his aunt's family, they did raise him, but they also humiliated him enough. In short, the emotions involved are very complicated.
As the saying goes, only the person who drinks the water knows whether it is hot or cold. Different people have different opinions. Sainz’s view is that only Harry himself has the right to speak.
In the following days, Sainz heard nothing about the rats.
He guessed that Old Deng probably hadn't found the big black dog yet, and without the most direct human evidence, it was difficult to convict the mouse under the current circumstances.
If it was a personal revenge, the rat's body might have turned to ashes, but if one wanted to exonerate the big black dog, he would have to make things a little more complicated.
In the absence of a plaintiff, as long as the mouse insisted that he was hiding only because he was afraid, and the confession obtained with the truth serum could not be used as evidence, the most he could be charged with in the end was the crime of illegal Animagus, and the sentence would not be too heavy.
Ron should have been told something. When he met Hagrid, Sainz thought he would come and ask what happened that night, but he didn't.
He might have been warned, and judging from the behavior of others, he should have kept his promise and not disclosed it casually.
These things had nothing to do with Sai. He began to fulfill his duties as an assistant teacher in the Care of Magical Creatures class. In addition to the Room of Requirement, there was an additional fence at his workplace every day.
"Hagrid, the students have been taking care of the Flobberworms for long enough. It's time for them to change things up."
Hagrid was still worried about the hippogriff named Buckbeak and was a little absent-minded. With Sainz helping him prepare lessons, he basically obeyed his orders.
When Harry and his classmates attended the class again, they found that Sainz was also there, and the students began to whisper below.
"Hello everyone, some of you know me and some don't. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Sainz Autumn. From now on, I will be the teaching assistant of the Care of Magical Creatures class. You can call me Autumn or Assistant Autumn."
Some students immediately expressed their dissatisfaction, saying, "You haven't even graduated yet, how can you be a teaching assistant?"
"Oh, if this student disagrees, he can report it to the school, but before Dumbledore fires me, I don't want to see anyone do anything that affects the course of the class."
The student who made the provocative remarks turned red in the face after being retorted by Sainz, but he had to admit that what Sainz said made sense.
"Okay, I've already answered this student's question. He's the first one to do this, so I won't hold it against you. But I hope that next time someone wants to speak, they'll raise their hand first. This is basic courtesy!"
Hermione immediately raised her hand, "Miss Granger!"
"Assistant Professor Autumn, why isn't Professor Hagrid here? Are we still going to take care of the Flobberworm today?"
"Oh, that's exactly what I was going to say next. The first question is, it's not that Professor Hagrid didn't come. He's waiting for everyone over there at the fence.
For the second question, after Professor Hagrid considered it, he accepted my suggestion and decided to introduce everyone to new magical creatures.
Does anyone else have questions?
...Okay...if there's no problem, let's go now."
Sainz led everyone along the path they had taken before towards the Forbidden Forest, passed the area where they had watched the Hippogriff, and walked not far into the woods next to it.
"Professor Hagrid, the students are here."
"Thank you, Autumn." Hagrid's serious look really made Sainz a little uncomfortable.
Not only Sainz was uncomfortable with Hagrid's appearance, but the students below were also obviously not used to it. Some students laughed immediately, "Puchi~"
Sainz glanced over but didn't say anything. Hagrid continued his lecture, "Everyone, please look up at the tree. The animal we are going to learn about today is on the tree. Has anyone spotted it?"
All the students started looking up at the tree and they began to guess, "Is it a Bowtruckle?
That's the only magical creature I know of that lives in trees."
"Where, where? Why can't I see it?"
"Come on, I'm just guessing..."
"Hey, what is that, something jumped over that tree!"
"Hagrid... Professor! Harry just saw some kind of creature jump over this tree," Ron ran to a tree that wasn't too tall, "Is that what we're going to be teaching today?"
"Excellent!" Hagrid pumped his fist happily. "Good, Harry, Harry... Potter has discovered what we are going to learn today. Five points from Gryffindor."
"That's too biased. They're giving him extra points!" A Slytherin student was immediately unhappy, "He didn't even see what it was!"
Sainz also felt that Hagrid had gone a bit too far, but what could he say? After all, he was a professor now, and it was time for these Slytherin students to experience how fucked up it was to have an unfair professor.
Although Sainz felt that Hagrid was a little unkind, as an assistant teacher, he still had to maintain the professor's dignity at this time.
"Students, I think the professor has his own considerations when giving extra points to someone, and it is not the students' turn to question. If anyone disregards classroom discipline, I have to remind them that the professor has more than just the power to give extra points!"
Hagrid seemed to realize that he was too emotional. "If anyone can tell me what animal that just jumped over, I can give him five points as well."
The young wizards' attention was diverted and they began to try hard to see what was in the tree canopy.
"That's a tree frog!" said Malfoy unyieldingly.
Hagrid muttered and said reluctantly, "Five points to Slytherin!"
