Chapter 338
When November of [-] came, Severus Snape felt that his patience had reached the limit.And all of this, of course, because of that pompous Potter's son - an equally pompous Potter! ——I entered Hogwarts to study, and I was assigned by the headmaster Dumbledore, so I had to take care of him secretly! !
He was going to watch the night on this day, but Dumbledore's face suddenly appeared in the fireplace fire of his potions office, and he told him to go to the eighth floor with a smile - it is said that he finally found a suitable successor The author came to take up the post of professor of Muggle studies that had been vacant for several months, and the new professor of Muggle studies directly set up his office on the eighth floor.
Snape had a bad feeling - he felt that the new professor of Muggle studies must be a Gryffindor, so he had such a unique impression of the eighth floor.
Although Ravenclaw's lounge is also located in the tower, but sometimes, Snape would rather trust a little bit of his intuition.
And this bad intuition was even stronger when he climbed up the eighth floor out of breath, and then walked outside the office of the new Muggle studies professor.
He stood outside the door, staring at the painting hanging above the door frame in a daze for a few seconds, hesitating whether to go in or not.
He had never cared about the decoration of the Muggle Studies professor's office before, let alone what the magical portrait in charge of the door looked like.But now he was a little taken aback by the portrait chosen by his new colleague—
In the portrait, the little girl with blue skirt and blond hair is standing there awkwardly, watching a rabbit dressed like a gentleman take out a pocket watch to check the time.On the big tree behind them, among the lush branches and leaves, there seems to be a smiling cat's face looming.
At this moment, they seemed to have sensed that someone was visiting at the door, and they all stopped their movements. Six eyes looked at Snape in black robe and black hair in front of the door—the cat face disappeared immediately, and only the smile remained on the tree. Between the tips.
Snape frowned.This seems to be a scene from some Muggle fairy tale.He couldn't figure out why his new colleague chose such a lively scene as his portrait of the gatekeeper-oh, there is no majesty as a professor at all!Not to mention that even if the visitor knows the password, he should tell which person or animal in the painting to work!Also, what about the cat with no face but a smile? !
His face was so ugly that the man and the rabbit in the painting couldn't help but shrink back.Then the rabbit actually rushed ahead of the little girl, and said to him with a serious face: "Password, sir."
He curled his lips in disgust, thinking that he was a living person after all, and there was no need to be angry with a portrait, so he said coldly, "Mad Hatter."
Rabbit nodded solemnly, glanced at the pocket watch in his hand, and said, "Sir, you are very punctual. Please come in."
Snape raised an eyebrow.In fact he hadn't made an appointment with the owner of the office at all.The little girl seemed to see this, and said to him behind the rabbit, "Oh, sir, please don't mind. This Mr. Rabbit always--"
The door opened.Snape glanced at the painting again before going in, and saw the cat crouching in the treetops, its big face resurfaced, grinning at him.
Snape snorted coldly and walked into the room.
The furnishings in the room are very neat, so it makes the pile of scraps of paper in the middle of the big desk look so messy and abrupt.But the owner of this room didn't seem to have any intention of cleaning up the pile of debris.
She was sitting behind a desk with a book open in front of her, seemingly reading.
And when Snape saw her face clearly, he was so shocked that he froze in a daze.
There has been no news for several months—that counterfeit!
He hadn't had much to do with the imposter since he'd barely escaped trial and come to Hogwarts as Potions master.However, at the moment when most of the key members of the Order of the Phoenix died in the previous battles with the Death Eaters, and were seriously injured, almost half of them withered, he also heard that Dumbledore decisively abandoned the past (?), and often trusted Send her out on some secret missions.In addition, she still has the position of Auror, so over the years, she has been busier than him, and she is often so busy that no one is seen.
Of course, it was precisely because of her job as an Auror that he never expected that the new Muggle Studies professor invited by Dumbledore would be her.
Different from his old impression of her before, facing his expression of shock at first and then frowning, she put down the book in her hand, slowly stood up from behind the table, and faced him.After a while, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, revealing a strange smile.
"It's worth the price of admission to see your shocked expression, Severus." There was a faint smile in her voice, "Didn't Albus tell you the news in advance?"
Snape took a rare choke from her.As if dissatisfied with his inferior situation, he exhaled angrily from his big nose.
"...I thought you still had an official position at the Ministry of Magic," he said coldly.
"Ah, that position." She smiled, walked around the desk, walked straight across the room to him, and stood a few steps away from him, "Resigned. Because I feel that staying in Hogg Watts' life is more attractive to me."
……subterfuge!It must be an excuse! !His face became even uglier.
"...I thought you and Dumbledore's biggest purpose was to embarrass me," he hissed, "like that...that..."
"That Potter? Harry Potter?" She smiled and reminded him kindly.
Snape: "..."
He was literally speechless now at Dumbledore's mischievous taste and this impostor's wanton behavior.
Some people really will become more and more arrogant!Aging is completely useless to them!Not at all likely to help mature them!Like these Gryffindors! !
"Tell the truth! What on earth are you here for? Dumbledore has assigned you another incredible task!" He said angrily, his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth.
Under the anger and hatred he unreservedly showed, her pair of emerald green eyes that belonged to Lily widened slightly—then, those beautiful eyes curved slightly, as if ignoring his anger Generally showing a smile.
"Helping Harry," she replied bluntly, "is the same as your task—we all know the importance of Harry."
This extremely objective description immediately triggered Snape's anger.
"What do you know?!" He suddenly took a step closer to her, bent down towards her like a threat, and glared at her angrily.The corners of his mouth turned down, his lips were tightly pressed.
"Do you know how he survived?! Sacrificing his mother in exchange for this one... a mediocre, arrogant, like his father, who loves to violate discipline, likes to be in the limelight, to attract others' attention, Unrestrained and disrespectful Potter boy!! He stirs up trouble everywhere and fights against the professor, unless a rope is put around his neck, no matter how many people who specialize in protecting him, they will not be able to protect the one who loves to mess around in dangerous places every time Chong reckless boy!!"
His long speech was finished in one go, from low to high, until the last sentence was almost roaring in her face.However, paired with his cello-like silky voice, his roar seemed to be less threatening, and more admirable for the voice control.
...But she has voice control attributes.
Liu Quan sighed and softened his voice.
"Don't let her sacrifice be in vain—Severus, Albus has been investigating the whereabouts of the Dark Lord all these years. He doesn't believe that the Dark Lord is dead...I don't believe it either. And when the Dark Lord returns , who do you think will be the person he holds grudges the most and will look for?"
Snape was speechless.
"People who are against him, people who can help you... One more person is never enough. Severus, this is not the time to be emotional." In her tone, the smile disappeared, and she became calm and rational.
She paused, as if she felt that the time had come, and added something softly but firmly.
"For this, Severus, I need your cooperation."
For some reason, the portrait outside her office door suddenly appeared in his mind, the cat squatting high in the treetops, always appearing and disappearing with a mysterious smile.
He wrinkled his whole face violently.
"...that sentence again." His deep voice echoed in the untidy office.
"Cooperate with you? I don't know who will be happy with the result of cooperating with you." There was an untimely sharp sarcasm in the silky and silky voice, "I believed in you, but—"
"You can only trust me now, Severus." The impostor unexpectedly cut off his sarcasm. "Because I swore to myself that I—"
Compared with their teenage years, she looks the same now, but her aura has been subtly enhanced, and it is hidden under a gentle surface. Only when she gets close to a certain degree can she experience that kind of aura. The spirit and persistence hidden under the gentleness and smile.
He rarely saw such a person.She was the only woman of this difficult type that he had met so far, if he had to.He felt that he was not at all good at dealing with such people, especially women.
It would be even worse if the bonus of the shape she wore—the skin—was included.
So he turned his head indifferently, and at the same time interrupted her briefly.
"I don't want to know what false vows you made to yourself—I assume you know that I'm not interested in your confession." He said coldly, paused, and his tone suddenly became a little difficult .
"However... I ask you to live longer, because if you die... it means that Lily... doesn't exist at all." He seemed to have some sadness and sadness in his voice for a moment, but He quickly controlled these emotions that shouldn't be shown, continued to finish the following words with a straight face and a stiff tone.
"You should know that you...have an important responsibility for taking good care of her body. You can't shirk your responsibility." He said, his eyes seemed to dim a little, and he looked blankly at the ground in the distance.
"To me, that's all."
