HP solves the mystery

The little wizards and wizards of Hogwarts all came back the day before school started. Everyone had smiles on their faces and seemed to be still immersed in the festive atmosphere.

The undisciplined attitude was taught the lesson the next day in class when the professors reviewed the semester content.

A lot of homework was assigned, as if to make up for the lost time during the holidays.

Severus continued to indulge in the library. He thought that besides selling potions to make money while studying in school, it would also be good to learn the techniques of writing books in the wizarding world. Maybe he would become an internationally renowned writer like Lockhart?

Gilderoy Lockhart entered Hogwarts in 1975 and was sorted into Ravenclaw, and he tried his best to lobby Principal Dumbledore to establish a school, but nothing happened yet.

If Severus lived a fulfilling and happy life, then Regulus was not in a good mood because Quidditch training had started again.

Slytherin's Quidditch captain saw that the players were lazy because of the Christmas holiday, and he was stricter than ever with them. He would scold them from time to time. What was the initial victory? Only when you get first place can you relax.

Even in the continuous rainy days after the heavy snow, the captain's energy did not cool down at all.

Barty Jr. complained that the captain was a training freak and was completely unreasonable about losing the game. What was their Slytherin's ability?

Regulus did not agree with him. Sirius and Potter were Slytherin's fierce rivals. If they won the next game against Hufflepuff, it was still uncertain who would lose and who would win in the Academy Cup.

Moreover, the Gryffindor players are also training hard, and they even played a few pre-match games.

They trained in the wet and mud, practicing new tactics and formations. Everyone tried their best, and they were exhausted every time they went back. Little Barty didn't even have the strength to complain.

Severus would go to see Regulus and the others training at first, but because it always rained and he had to prepare for Owl, he reduced the number of visits.

Of course, Andre, who had been troubled by the Transfiguration homework recently, also chose to stay in the common room. He could take the opportunity to ask Severus for advice. In addition to getting some snacks, they could also kill time playing wizard chess together.

"Severus, can you lend me your radio? I've missed many episodes of Toots's sprouting and rooting show..." The big silly Andre smiled naively, looking with pleading eyes and using the word "Restore" Just like Severus who had restored the chess pieces, his mother would not allow him to bring the radio to school.

Severus readily agreed. He felt that the programs in the wizarding world were not suitable for him, and a certain child didn't play with them very much. He had better read more useful magic books.

"I can borrow it from you on weekends. Don't stay up late on weekdays. Studying is more important." He warned. A world without WiFi and games allowed him to develop a regular schedule.

The two of them inevitably got closer while talking. This was a very common behavior, but it was a bit dazzling in someone's eyes.

"You guys, what are you talking about?" Regulus flipped up his wet hair and sat over naturally, making the distance between the two further.

Their seats were close to the central fire, taking away the chill from Quidditch practice.

"Regulus, I'm borrowing the radio from my senior. I'll handle it with care..." Andre looked around and saw no sign of Barty Jr., touched the back of his head and whispered.

Seeing his behavior, Severus felt that the Sorting Hat had really sorted him into the wrong place. It might be better for this character to go to Gryffindor or Hufflepuff.

Regulus nodded understandingly, he had been hearing Glenda Chittock's voice on the radio lately at night, and he would not contradict Severus' decision.

Time slipped away while the little wizards were studying. The snow outside the castle melted into water and seeped into the earth. Finally, the bare ground was no longer just dry grass, and slowly revealed a little bit of green.

Severus, who was addicted to books, was called out of the common room by Regulus and came to the trophy display room, which was full of outstanding seekers and chasers from all ages.

He also saw a special medal with the words 'Special Contribution Award' written on it, and the winner was Tom Marvolo Riddle...

"Severus, soon, you will see my name here. 'Best Seeker' belongs to me!" Regulus recounted his grand ambitions. As long as he wins another battle, Gryffindor.

Severus didn't know how to answer. With his poor ball-watching skills, he felt that as long as he killed Potter, a talented player, he would have a high winning rate.

"Regulus, I look forward to that day." He couldn't hit the child, and besides, the child trained so hard, maybe he could make a comeback?

Regulus was obviously very happy to hear this, and looked at him with bright eyes, as if to say, tell me more, I would like to hear it.

Severus gave a few words of praise as he wished, thinking about the origin of this special award. His vague memory indicated that this seemed to be related to a big event.

Valentine's Day is coming, and the ignorant little animals begin to communicate their feelings.

The most intuitive thing was to send gifts and write love letters, and the boldest thing was to express love directly. Unexpectedly, they even became couples.

It was only this day that Severus saw the variety of colors of chocolates and letters. He had to help his roommate make room to store those things. Fortunately, the owl didn't bring them in during breakfast, otherwise it would be a complete mess of feathers and shit. picture.

What was rare was that Severus also received several love letters. He opened them with mixed emotions and found that they were pranks by Mooreside and Avery. The words in them were all jokes, "little bats" and no one like……

He calmly pulled out his wand and tore it into pieces, then lit up a raging flame and burned it to ashes, then left with the box of chocolates as if nothing had happened. Well, rose chocolates were rare.

The sun hidden behind the dark clouds was finally willing to peek out and shine on Hogwarts, and the little wizards in the castle became excited.

In the Quidditch match, Slytherin narrowly won.

Because Gryffindor adopted a lose-lose strategy (Sirius hit Regulus and others with bruises and bruises with Quaffles like crazy, this may be their new tactic), which resulted in several people from both sides falling from the air into the hospital wing. , after the backup players came on the scene, Slytherin's captain asked the players to protect the Seeker Regulus until they caught the Golden Snitch.

Perhaps outsiders thought this was a simple competition, but Regulus, as the person involved, knew that this was a hindrance caused by Kreacher when his brother Sirius was venting his anger at home.

Severus' tooth ached when he saw it, and once again lamented the 'cruelty' of Quidditch, he took Andre with him to go to the hospital wing to see people.

In the hospital wing, the young wizards from Gryffindor and Slytherin were lying on opposite sides of each other clearly, and they were still teasing each other for being weak. Then, after being held down by Madam Pomfrey and drinking the potion, they all became listless. Lying on the bed.

After drinking the medicine, Sirius didn't want to see the 'evil' wizard of Slytherin, so he wrapped the quilt around his head and fell asleep.

When Severus arrived, he saw Gryffindor standing upright and Slytherin in a daze, but Lupin was nowhere to be seen.

"Regulus, are you okay?" Severus looked at Regulus who was rubbing his shoulders in pain, and raised the pillow behind him.

"Well, it's not too good, Severus. I feel like my internal organs are injured. Well, I have no strength anymore. I need a lot of delicious food to fill the gap!" Regulus's face was full as if he was covering a sword wound. In pain, he fell limply on the pillow.

"Did Madam Pomfrey say when you can go back to the dormitory?" Seeing him like this, Severus knew that he was fine. He ignored his mischief and took out the box of pineapple cakes and handed it over, passing it to the person on the other bed. Little Barty and the two handed some over.

Little Barty took the bite and ate it. No matter how many times he ate it, he was always amazed by Hua Xia's food.

Andre took one bite at a time and quickly finished the whole box, licking his lips and looking at Severus.

Zhu Bajie's attitude of eating ginseng fruit made Severus laugh. At the same time, he picked up the one in his box and handed it over.

"Just observe it for another hour. Fortunately, there is no fracture. If you are busy, you can go back first. Little Barty will go back with me..." Regulus watched their interaction and said dullly, as long as With outsiders around, Severus no longer only cares about himself.

Little Barty felt a chill down his spine. He stopped eating the pineapple cake and looked around, then continued eating.

Mmmmm, it’s so delicious. Take one bite, and then another bite. Hmm, why is it gone? If only Hogwarts could do it themselves.

Seeing their tired faces, Severus knew that it was nothing serious, so he prepared to go to the library to check information. The Owl exam was only a few months away.

Andre stayed with them in the medical room.

"Student Snape, have you encountered any difficulties in your studies recently?"

As soon as Severus came out of the hospital wing, he saw him wearing an orange robe, a tricorn hat of the same color, and a long white beard on his face. He looked very kind and amiable.

"I think your injury is almost healed, right? Did you come to the hospital wing to visit your little friend? What a kind boy..." Dumbledore's blue eyes flashed under his lenses. After observing Severus for a period of time afterwards, I saw that he no longer had conflicts with the Potters and the four others, and kept his promise to study quietly at school before going to work on matters related to the Order of the Phoenix.

"Headmaster has been restored. Thank you for your concern." Severus showed a frightened and panicked look. He benefited from him and didn't mind pretending to be in front of him. He responded in a low voice, "I came to see Lei Gu. Les is my roommate...his shoulder was injured..."

"Well, that's really unfortunate. Has Madam Pomfrey treated them? But injuries in Quidditch are inevitable, and you have to get used to it. When I was young, Quidditch was much more brutal than it is now. Broken arms and legs often happen... If you encounter a ghost air explosion, you have to be careful about your face... I was in Germany back then..." A trace of nostalgia appeared on Dumbledore's face, and he seemed to have thought of something, and patted Severus. Si's shoulder, "Child, enjoy the carefree life at school, with the best person by your side...Have a happy time before leaving..."

Then he didn't get an answer from him, so he left with a sense of loss. The original idea of ​​preaching and testing was abandoned. Now he just wanted to go back to the office and chat with Fox.

Severus could hear the sincerity in his words, but based on the 'greatest white wizard who ever lived' and what he said about his experiences in Germany, he knew that he was more than just the amiable and harmless person he appeared to be.

As the days passed, the warm weather caused mushrooms to sprout in the forest.

There are many mushrooms growing around Professor Sprout's greenhouse. What is cultivated in the greenhouse is a kind of jumping toadstool. They have always appeared in Hogwarts dishes recently.

Severus was not used to cream of mushroom soup, so he secretly went to the kitchen to get some yams, flour and chicken. He took the iron pot he bought in the Muggle community, used the flour to make pot stickers, and cooked the ground pot chicken and chicken well. Regulus ate.

But after just a few bites, Andre, a foodie with a keen nose, pulled little Barty over, exchanged the candies and bread made by his mother, and ate most of the pot of meat.

But these mushrooms were really fresh, but Kettleburn didn't think so. He didn't touch them when he was eating in his seat in the classroom. Maybe he was tired of eating them.

Severus could understand that teachers at Hogwarts were basically tenured. Except for those who voluntarily resigned, retired due to illness, or the classes they taught were cursed, those were all 'lifetime', which you could see after joining the job. Old age retirement.

Such as Dumbledore, Slughorn, Sprout and Filch...

Severus carefully brewed the elixir that Owl might test, slowly poured the Albizia julibrissin powder into the pot, and stirred it clockwise with a stirring rod at a constant speed.

On the other side, in the garden of Malfoy Manor.

Lucius drank afternoon tea leisurely, his bright platinum hair shining in the sun, and his mind was rapidly thinking about Voldmort's orders.

He was suddenly called over, and then given a plain black leather diary, and told him to treasure it carefully, without forgetting to mention his father, Abraxas Malfoy.

Voldmort's best friend, Malfoy, who was sent to a remote place for treatment after suffering from dragon pox, gave him the diary as part of his performance. He could only accept this kindness with trepidation.

Only people close to them can feel that Voldmort's "magic is power" is gradually shifting towards "pure blood supremacy" (deceiving nobles and brainwashing wizards). During this change, the forces of the magical world are gradually being gathered by him and gathered together Giants, werewolves and other magical creatures marginalized by mainstream wizarding society...

Voldmort's career is booming, taking them to the pinnacle of wizarding society, and it won't be long before the family can reach a higher level.

Lucius was happy about this for a long time, and even wrote a letter to his father Abraxas to ask about the results of the diary, and thoughtfully asked him how the treatment of dragon pox was progressing.

The final result was that the diary was placed in the deepest basement of Malfoy Manor, with many protective spells attached, and a house elf was sent to take care of it. It can be said that it was very attentive.
