Hogwarts in the shadows

"Snape, if you dare to leave, I will blow up Hogwarts!"

Delacour's voice was cold, and sparks flashed on the tip of his staff.

Snape looked back at Delacour with disdain, then turned to look at Dumbledore standing beside him.

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Severus, it's almost time for get out of class to end. I think you would be willing to have dinner with everyone."

Snape snorted, "I don't have time."

"Snape, if you keep hiding from me, I will... I..." Tears welled up in Delacour's eyes and his voice trembled a little.

Hephaestus looked at Snape, then at Delacour, the fire of gossip burning in his heart.

He tried hard to suppress the urge to snoop into Snape's memories.

"Professor, why don't I go back by myself?" Hephis said weakly.

Upon hearing this, everyone focused their attention on Hephis.

Especially Delacour, her eyes were full of admiration when she looked at Hephes.

Snape's mouth twitched slightly, without even opening his lips, "Okay."

Hephaestus left as if he had been pardoned.

When it comes to eating melons, you have to score points.

If Snape were to be eaten by someone, it would be better to be cautious.

Hephis couldn't help it after all, and he secretly flipped through the memories about Flora Delacour.

It turned out that their dispute started from a conference of outstanding young potions masters.

At that time, Snape, with his six improved potions, surpassed a group of talented potion masters and took the top spot.

And Delacour, despite his talent, had to come in second.

For her, who has always been proud, this was undoubtedly a huge blow.

From then on, Delacour and Snape confronted each other at various Potions Masters gatherings, comparing everything.

It was a pity that no matter how hard she tried, she was never able to defeat Snape.

Coupled with Snape's mouth that always spewed venom, they became "enemies".

The two actually had a lot of correspondence, and at the beginning, Delacour asked questions about potions.

Over time, the content of the letters gradually changed.

Delacour began to care about Snape's daily life, especially his love life.

Snape was no fool, he could naturally feel Delacour's feelings.

However, there was only Lily Evans in his heart, and there was no room for other women.

So he began to deliberately avoid Delacour and even ignored her letters.

Hephis watched these memory fragments silently, and couldn't help but mourn for Flora Delacour in his heart.

Delacour is also a passionate woman, especially her appearance is at least ten blocks better than Lily Evans.

Unfortunately, she failed to impress Snape's heart.

I can only say that no matter how beautiful a woman is, she cannot beat first love!

Especially a first love that’s gone, like Lily Evans.

After dinner, Hephis was about to go dragon riding with Hermione when he received a note.

The handwriting on the note was very delicate and the content was very simple.

Can I talk to you privately?

If you'd like to come, I'll be waiting for you by the Whomping Willow.

Signed by Flora Delacour.

Hephis didn't avoid Hermione at all when he was reading the note.

The little girl came over curiously and saw the contents of the note at a glance.

Hermione's face immediately fell. She pouted and looked at Hephis with questioning eyes.

Hephaestus suddenly felt a toothache, but he had to go anyway. He had to go for Snape.

He looked at Hermione's face. If he didn't explain, the girl would definitely be jealous.

But!

This is not easy to explain to Hermione, after all, it involves Snape's private affairs.

"Dracule is one of today's auditors. She probably came to me because of the transfiguration potion." Hephis thought for a moment and added.

"You also know that Transfiguration Potions are now banned. I guess she has some ideas!"

"Is she pretty?" Hermione asked without any context.

Hephis was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "She looks OK, but not as pretty as you."

"Then that should be very old, right?" Hermione seemed satisfied with the answer.

"Uh... about thirty years old!" Hephis told the truth.

You can't make nonsense of this.

Quite a few people have seen the review team just now, and I guess there are quite a few knowledgeable people who can match the people to the names.

Moreover, Hephis estimated that this matter might even be reported in tomorrow's prophet newspaper, after all, Fudge was here.

Hermione nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead!"

"How about you come with us?" Hephis asked tentatively.

"I'll forget it. I trust you." Hermione even muttered, "An old woman in her thirties."

Hephaestus couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Hermione was still young and she didn't know that the attraction of a young woman could be fatal to men.

He rubbed Hermione's head gently, "I'll go then, I'll be back soon."

Hephis turned and walked towards the Whomping Willow.

He could sense that there was a little tail following him, and he knew it was Hermione without even looking.

This little girl is so cute!

As soon as Hephis approached the Whomping Willow, he saw Flora Delacour sitting quietly in the moonlight.

Her long silver hair, under the moonlight, seemed to be coated with a faint glow.

"Hello, Ms. Delacour." Hephis greeted politely.

Hearing the voice, Fulla stood up and looked directly at Hephes with her bright eyes.

"You can just call me Fulla. Can I just call you Hephis?"

"Of course, Ms. Fulla." Hephis responded with a smile.

Fulla smiled softly, "Thank you very much for accepting the invitation."

"How could I possibly refuse an invitation from a lady, especially one as beautiful as you?"

Because of her sincerity towards Snape, Hephis was willing to compliment her.

"You are much better than your teacher." Fulla joked.

"Uh..." Hephis was speechless. Isn't this nonsense?

"Is Snape good to you?" Vera asked suddenly.

Hephis nodded. "Very good."

There was a glimmer of expectation in Fulla's eyes, "So...did he ever mention me when you were with him?"

Although Hephis felt a little reluctant, he still told the truth, "No."

"I knew he wouldn't...you little guy, you guessed something, right?" Fulla's face darkened and she sighed.

"Can't you even lie to me? You're as cruel as your teacher."

Hephis looked at Fula's lost expression and couldn't help but feel sympathy. "Isn't it good to let some things go?"

Fulla murmured, "If only it were that easy to get through."

Hephis remained silent and said nothing more.
