Train to Another World.

Chapter 487 Accountability
Snape was in a good mood after finally ending his detention, and even ate a few more pieces of toast for breakfast. While eating, an owl flew to his dining table.

A letter was thrown in front of him. When he picked up the letter, he saw the unique wax seal of the Malfoy family. Slop opened the letter and found that it was indeed sent by his old friend Lucius Malfoy.

In the letter, Lucius first asked about Snape's recent situation. Snape knew that this was just a courtesy he was used to when writing letters, so he skipped it.

After skipping over long paragraphs of polite words, Snape finally saw the main text on the back of the letter. The main text had two items. One was that Snape asked Lucius to check Li Zhuoguang's family background, but Lucius had no clue.

The Malfoy family only had some connections in the British Isles, and they were out of reach in the Far East. Although he sent many people there to contact local forces for help in the investigation, he could not find any clues. The other party seemed to have popped out of nowhere.

The second thing was that Lucius tactfully asked Snape if he could put his son in "confinement", preferably the same kind as Li Zhuoguang's.

Snape didn't want to waste this time at all. The reason why he agreed to teach Li Zhuoguang was only because the other party had something he wanted. This was a deal.

But then he waved at Malfoy and asked him to come over. Lucius had spent money and effort to help him investigate things, and it would be unreasonable for him to not give him any face.

Seeing Malfoy approaching, Snape showed the back of the letter to Malfoy: "This is your father's request. After Christmas, you will come to me every Friday night...'detention'."

Malfoy felt like the sky was falling. He told his father that Snape was tutoring Li Zhuoguang, just to let him know about the relationship. But he definitely didn't want to take the same training class as Li Zhuoguang, and the teacher was Snape.

But facing Snape, Malfoy didn't dare to say anything, so he could only return to the long table with a pale face.

What happened here was not hidden from the other people eating at the staff table. Seeing that Snape had accepted another apprentice, Flitwick reminded him implicitly: "Professor Snape, as the school's potion teacher, you might as well give more guidance on potion lessons when you put students in detention."

Snape looked at Flitwick in surprise. Isn't this what he did when he put students in detention? For students with less talent, he asked them to process raw materials, and for students with better talent, he asked them to brew potions.

Snape had no idea why Flitwick had come to tell him this now.

But he still agreed casually: "Thank you for your advice, Professor Flitwick."

Flitwick shook his head slightly at McGonagall. From Snape's expression, he could tell that Snape didn't understand his hint.

Next was McGonagall, who went further, "It seems that Li Zhuoguang was put in detention at the beginning of the school year. I wonder if his potions grades have improved."

When Snape heard this, he felt bad. He clenched the fork in his hand tightly. He didn't know where the news leaked from, and how so many people knew that Li Zhuoguang refused to learn potion knowledge from him.

As a Potions Master of this age, doesn't he have any dignity?
"He seems to lack talent and interest in this area, so I didn't provide any guidance in this area." He said casually, and then made up for himself: "But his other aspects, such as spells, transfiguration, dark magic... defense, etc. are quite good, and he is making rapid progress."

Now it was the other teachers' turn to be in a bad mood. You are just being aggressive, admitting that you are overstepping your authority and teaching students across disciplines. The first reason why Hogwarts was established was to protect young wizards in that dark age.

The second is to end the apprenticeship system, so that some precious knowledge will not disappear in the long river of history due to the interruption of inheritance. Now you, Snape, actually want to reverse the process?

Snape saw the other teachers' blank faces and thought that they didn't believe him. In fact, he didn't believe it either. With only one night of "confinement" per week, several major subjects have made great progress. Even geniuses have to follow basic rules.

So he continued, "Although it may be a bit exaggerated, he has already mastered the content of the courses from grade one to grade seven, and even learned the Patronus Charm."

McGonagall pressed on: "Professor Snape didn't teach you any Potions knowledge? When are you going to teach?"

Snape frowned. "There are Potions classes every week. I won't let him learn anything unrelated to Potions during Potions class..."

At this point, Snape also noticed that the other teachers were glaring at him. Only then did he realize that he had already taught all the classes from grade one to grade seven, so why should he let others teach?
If one day, Li Zhuoguang achieved great success, such as winning the Order of Merlin, what would he say in his speech? He would thank his potions, spells, transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Professor Snape, and other professors.

Quirrell was no longer as cowardly and stuttering as usual. He just said calmly, "Professor Snape is really good at planning his time. He specifically excluded the content of the Potions class so that it would not take up the time for 'detention'."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the other teachers did not say anything, but just ate their breakfast with their ears perked up. In fact, they had heard about this matter, but they did not expect it to be brought up on the table today.

But anyway, Snape only taught the main subjects, and did not teach things like astronomy, herbology, and care of magical creatures, so the other professors could just sit here and watch instead of being held accountable.

Snape stopped talking and buried his head in his breakfast. What could he say? What to teach Li Zhuoguang was not based on what he wanted to teach, but on what Li Zhuoguang wanted to learn.

He even taught him how to eat a big melon, so he had no choice.

In the following days, Li Zhuoguang suddenly found that he was receiving special care. After each class, the professors would keep him behind to teach him some things that were not in the textbooks.

But he was happy with it. Who would complain that their skills had too many branches?

Especially in today's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Quirrell just recited from the textbook during class, but after class, his stuttering suddenly disappeared.

Li Zhuoguang was specially kept here to teach him some offensive magic that had a vague boundary between black and white magic. Li Zhuoguang knew that this was his private teacher, Mr. Fu, coming online.

All the teachers breathed a sigh of relief after the special class. It seemed that Snape only taught the knowledge in the textbook, and the knowledge they had in hand could still be used to teach Li Zhuoguang for several years.

Just when everyone was happy, there was one person who was not very happy.
