Hogwarts: The Book of Magic

Chapter 61 Snape's Depression
"So you found me here? What do you think my place is? A nursery?" Snape looked at Rin standing in front of him, with a headache, "Okay, I don't have time to teach a Gran Phondo Occlumency."

After Snape finished speaking, he picked up the quill pen inserted in the ink bottle and began to correct the homework.

"Look, Year [-] homework, not to mention the OWLs for Year [-] and the NEWTs for graduates. I need to be accountable to all of them, not your babysitter."

Snape said as he graded the homework.

"Okay, what you should do now is go back and have a good sleep. Tomorrow is Monday, and there will be classes." Snape put down the quill in his hand, looked up at Rin.

"Although I know that you are very strong, and I know that you have a lot of Galleons in your pocket now, but to be honest, the ones in Hogwarts are still worth learning for a long time." Snape said sincerely. Looking at Rin, it was as if he was looking at his younger self.

"Okay, okay. Let her come over every Saturday afternoon. From 02:30 pm to [-]:[-], I only teach for two months. If you don't master it, don't blame me. Come by then, by the way I have taught you practical lessons together, so you can save yourself from saying behind your back that the dean of Slytherin is a villain who does not keep his word."

Snape agreed in the end, one sheep could be herded, and a flock of sheep could be herded, so they could teach together.

"However, let me explain in advance that Occlumency is no better than other spells. The fastest way to train this spell is actually to use Legilimency on it constantly. The more times you use it, the more it will come naturally."

Snape paused, and continued: "I'll explain some basic knowledge, and you can do the rest."

After finishing speaking, Snape looked at Lean with some envy.

Why didn't he have a professor to help him with this move when he was in school? If he could have a deep understanding of Lily back then, maybe he wouldn't have developed into this way.

"Thank you, Professor." After Lean finished speaking, he turned and left Snape's office.

Snape sat alone in the office, recalling all kinds of things in his school days.

He always smiles when he thinks of the time he spent with Lily;

Thinking of the time when Lily and Potter were together, he would always be full of jealousy and resentment;
He clenched his hands when he remembered calling Lily "Mudblood."

"Ah." After a long time, a long sigh came from Snape's office.

Lean walked in the corridor with a weird expression on his face.

Today's Snape is unexpectedly easy to talk, a bit unlike the usual Snape.

But, what the heck, as long as he taught Hermione Occlumency.Ryan thought so.

After arriving at the Slytherin lounge, Lean was directly pulled over by Kex and Beaver.

"Lean, tell us the truth, did you loot Filch's office?" Beaver's face was almost on Lean's nose.

Lean pushed Beaver's face away forcefully, and said calmly, "This is really not me, how could I provoke Filch?"

"Lean, don't quibble. We just told you that there were a lot of confiscated contraband in Filch's office, and Filch's office was raided that night. Do you think it's strange?"

Lean opened his mouth and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Beaver.

"Lean, we don't want you to return it, we just want to buy some from you." Beaver said with a smile, "Don't worry, we are just buying."

"I heard that you recently borrowed a book from the library and came back to copy it?" Kex asked from the side.

Lien nodded. Everyone knew this, and he didn't hide it.

"Let's just trade the books in the Hogwarts library, how about ten books for one item?" Kex said mysteriously.

Kex's words instantly aroused Lean's doubts. The Hogwarts collection is still yours, and you can sell it as soon as you say it.

Kex seemed to see Lean's doubts, and continued: "It's not the books in Hogwarts, but the books copied by the ancestors when they were studying in Hogwarts. All family members are allowed to read these books in the family. Watching it, it doesn’t matter if you make a copy, just don’t spread it on a large scale.”

After hearing Kex's words, Lean was speechless for a while.

He thought he was the only one who came up with this idea. It turned out that the Hogwarts library had been emptied long ago.

It's no wonder that he copied books by himself these days, and no one came to trouble him.

"Okay, but I have a lot of things. You are sure to have so many books. Don't your family members come to Hogwarts to find me by then."

Rin stood up, stretched himself, and said.

"Don't worry, these book families don't pay much attention to it, that is, the copying spell, just order the house elf." Beaver said indifferently.

"Okay..." Rin suddenly paused.

He remembered the collection of books from the Gunter family that Pudding moved back. He was still lamenting why the Gunter family had so many books, but he didn't expect that the reason was here.

"What's wrong?" Kex asked curiously when he saw Lean froze in place.

"Sorry, Kex, Beaver, I think I may not need the Hogwarts books for the time being. By the way, is your family's books going out? The price can be lower." Lean said a little embarrassed.

After all, this is someone else's family collection, and some even involve some family spells.

Max froze for a moment, he obviously didn't expect Lean to say that.

"Sorry, Lean, it's impossible to take out the family collection. If I find out, I will definitely be beaten to death."

There was some displeasure on Kex's face.

"Rin, where did you get the Hogwarts books?" Although Beaver asked, he was thinking in his heart which library of a down-and-out pure-blood family Lean should have moved.

Ryan didn't nod, and didn't give a clear answer.

However, in Beaver's eyes, Lean's appearance was no different from answering.

"I don't know if you are interested in some strange gadgets?"

Kex's words caught the attention of Lean and Beaver.

"You mean... those things?" Beaver seemed to understand what Kex meant, but Lean was at a loss.

"Ryan, Kex and I were exploring the secrets in the castle before. We encountered a few secret rooms and got a lot of interesting gadgets from them. See if you need anything."

When Kex went back to the dormitory to get things, Beaver explained the origin of these things to Lean.
