On the morning of the first day of school, Sirius Black became famous again, and Walburga Black sent him a howling letter, and to his son, Walburga's words were also quite unkind, that The hysterical tone is enough for everyone to see the real Mrs. Black who is jumping with anger.

This also made people see how powerful Black was, and Sirius became a joke.

When the term starts, the professors will arrange the courses more easily, and the content of a class will be much simpler. Most of the professors will also guide the first-year students' interest in learning magic.In the case of taking care of most people, Severus was naturally not very satisfied with the scarce content.

Class time should be dedicated to specific time, Severus will not look at potions in Transfiguration class, this is also a respect for professors and knowledge.

Perhaps the only bonus is knowing that Professor McGonagall is an Animagus.But this is probably a public matter. If she changed from a cat to a human at the beginning of the first lesson every time, she must have registered.

Animagus can turn wizards into animals, and sometimes it is convenient for wizards to use Animagus form.It's just that Animagus, as an advanced transfiguration technique, is naturally not easy to learn.Waldmont had taught the basics of Transfiguration, but that wasn't enough to support Severus to teach himself Animagus as soon as he entered the first grade.

The first-year freshmen have simple classes and not many, and most of the time they have to rely on self-study.Severus figured he needed to come up with a new schedule so his time wouldn't be wasted.

Entering the hall for lunch, Severus was seated next to him by Lucius.Severus could feel Lucius protecting him, like he was a baby bird under the wing of "mother".This move would save him a lot of trouble, at least it would prevent those blood-conscious fools in Slytherin from being stupid in front of him.

Dining in peace, Severus endured the sneaky glances from Lucius and Narcissa across the table, and quietly sped up his movements. Before getting goosebumps all over his body, Severus went to the principal's office to find Dumbledore as agreed .

The principal's room was warm and filled with the sweet smell of candy.

Severus saw Dumbledore's phoenix as soon as he entered, and it tilted its head to look at him.

"Good day, sir."

"Good day. Severus, come and sit down." Dumbledore beckoned to him, and a cup of honey tea was placed on the table. He remembered that Severus had a milder taste.

Severus sat down without touching his teacup: "Thank you."

"Don't be nervous, Severus, little scholar." Dumbledore smiled, looking no different from the kind old man, "You and Mr. Morris left a little early that time, I still have a lot to say You said it. But we'll have a chance later on."

"…" Severus waited for his next words.

"Are your grandpa and grandma healthy? I haven't been in touch with them for a long time. Letters can never replace eyes. If you can't see them with your own eyes, you will always feel uneasy." Dumbledore took the initiative to mention the Princes.

"They're all in good health." Severus didn't say hello to the Princes, because he was worried that mentioning them would make Dumbledore think he was trying to get away with favors.But if Dumbledore took the initiative to mention it, there is no need to worry so much.

"That's good. I still remember that after Irene left, they have been not very happy. It was because of you that they came out of the past. You and Maurice are fine." Dumbledore grabbed A handful of relatively normal-looking candies was shared with Severus.

Severus fiddled with the candy wrappers on the table, confused about Dumbledore's purpose: "I thought you wanted to know about the train." But until now, they were all reminiscing about the past.

"Don't be restrained. I know exactly what happened on the train. Try it, Severus, these candies taste very good. Shanna said you like more ordinary candies, and these are." Dumbledore said from the table Pushed a paper to Severus, "After talking with you that time, there has been new progress in the research on the use of dragon's blood, don't you want to take a look?"

Hearing this, Severus didn't care whether Dumbledore wanted to help those two idiots or not, he took the paper and read it intently.

"Severus, are you still feeling unwell now?" Dumbledore knew that Lucius took Severus to the medical wing last night, and Madam Pomfrey complained to him that the freshmen who just entered school are not well-behaved. .

"It's ready." The wizard's recovery ability is already good, and Lucius doesn't relax at all. He is not good enough, and Lucius even skipped the first day of class for him.

Dumbledore was relieved: "That's good."

"It's pretty complete..." After reading the summary, Severus knew that Dumbledore had experimented with all the topics they discussed, and also conducted a controlled experiment.In this case, he would not need to conduct experiments himself.

At this time, Severus's face revealed a childish unwillingness and regret.

Dumbledore looked at Severus still kindly, and a little funny: "This paper will also have your name."

"But I didn't do anything." Severus looked at Dumbledore in surprise.

"The ideas and assumptions you provide are a very important part of the research. This is your wisdom, and of course you should have a signature." Dumbledore would not want to steal the results of a child.

Severus bowed his head and whispered, "Thank you." His name and Dumbledore's were on a research paper, and Severus knew exactly what kind of attention it would attract.Fame is a trivial matter, and in the future he may walk on the road of prosperity academically because of this "small matter".Dumbledore did this, and he didn't know how to thank Dumbledore.

"Well, the most important business has been said. We can now talk about the train."

Severus tensed up for a moment.

"I understand everything, don't take what Sirius said to your heart. It's just to deal with things in the future, don't be so violent." Dumbledore's expression didn't change, he didn't have the idea of ​​punishing Severus, but fighting was never the same. Best option, he wanted Severus to understand this.

"Aren't you going to punish me?" Severus looked into Dumbledore's eyes, and he couldn't see through the wisdom of life hidden in the blue.

"Out of my own thoughts, I don't want to punish you, but students still have to abide by the school rules, go back and copy the school rules." As he said, Dumbledore lowered his voice, "Next time you encounter a similar situation, it's best Find someone who can solve the problem first. If you meet in school, tell the teacher directly."

Severus nodded.

Dumbledore smiled.

Under Dumbledore's gaze, Severus held the paper and asked suddenly: "In your opinion, is there a difference between pure blood, mixed blood and hemp?"

"No." Dumbledore replied.

Hearing Severus' question, although expected, also made him feel the sadness in it.Facing Severus, Dumbledore's blue eyes were full of sincerity when he answered, and the sadness was buried in his heart.

"Unfortunately not everyone is like you." Severus believed Dumbledore.Nagini once said that Dumbledore had disregarded and doubted Tom. It stands to reason that he should laugh at Dumbledore's double-standard behavior, but he looked at Dumbledore at the moment, and only had the thought of "believe him" in his heart.

Dumbledore also agreed with Severus' opinion: "Prejudice and barriers are mountains that are difficult to overcome. Eliminating their bad influence is even more difficult. What we can do is to regulate ourselves first, and then drive others."

Saying such words, Dumbledore also sighed inwardly.As long as we are human, there are times when we are influenced by selfish desires.As human beings, there are always desires of one kind or another, and they are demons that tempt people to fall, and they can easily make people lose their reason and integrity.Fighting against instinct is the battle of a person's life.Even Dumbledore knew he couldn't win every victory.

"Thoughts are the hardest thing to change."

For some reason, Severus felt Dumbledore's powerlessness, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should comfort Dumbledore or not.

Dumbledore didn't need his consolation, and soon he adjusted his mentality, as if those weak sighs had never existed.He just needs to move forward firmly in his life.Maybe there will be regrets, and maybe he will encounter problems that he can't solve, but as long as he walks on the right path he believes, the final result may not be the best, but it is also close to his goal.

Severus was worried about his eyes, and his well-behaved appearance. It was hard for Dumbledore to imagine that this kid would fight. Sirius and James' faces were still bruised and purple, which showed that Severus had a heavy hand.But if it were him, in this young and vigorous period, the way he handled this problem would not be better than this kid.

"It's getting late now, you still have class in the afternoon, so go back and rest for a while." Dumbledore didn't leave Severus any longer.

Severus hugged the paper and asked if he could take it with him.Dumbledore naturally agreed.

As soon as he left the principal's office, Severus bumped into Sirius and James.The three of them looked at each other, and the eyeballs of the two on the opposite side were about to breathe fire.Severus scowled, pretending not to see them, and brushed past them.

This naturally made Sirius and James even more annoyed, but since it was the door of the principal's office, they didn't dare to do anything wrong, so Severus walked past with his head held high.

……

"Severus." Lily waited at the intersection and finally reached Severus.She jumped up to Severus, smiling brighter than Xia Hua.

"Lily, you didn't go to rest?"

Lily shook her head, and the braids she tied up today were also flicking and tossing, very energetic: "I want to talk to you. Are you okay? Are you still in pain?"

"I'm fine. How about you?" Severus remembered Lily getting punched by Black and Potter too.

"I'm fine." Lily pulled Severus, "Did you go to the headmaster just now? Did he punish you?"

"No." Punishment is not a punishment.

Lily's hanging heart finally let go: "That's good."

"How are you doing in Gryffindor?" Severus didn't like the rowdyness of Gryffindor, but Lily's personality suited it well there.

Lily pursed her lips, thinking of her roommate, her eyes flickered with light: "It's good. People in Gryffindor are very enthusiastic, and my roommate gave me an automatic gift last night. A braided headband."

At this point, as if he should compliment Lily's new hairstyle, Severus said dryly, "The new hairstyle looks nice, and the headband is beautiful."This made Lily smile a lot.

"Severus, Gryffindor and Slytherin...the seniors in Gryffindor seem to have some prejudice against Slytherin." In the lounge, many seniors and seniors warned the freshmen Beware of Slytherin snakes.After hearing so much, Lily couldn't help worrying whether Severus, who had entered Slytherin, would be hurt.

Severus hadn't experienced the Slytherin lounge conversation, but he was also well aware of the attitude of the Slytherins towards Gryffindors: "Don't worry about the house prejudices that have accumulated over the years."

Lily nodded approvingly.

"Lily, I'm going back to the dormitory to read some books, and you can go back to the Gryffindor lounge to rest." Severus didn't think it would be a good thing for Lily to get too close to him. He didn't care about the school's prejudice, but Some things are going to be troublesome.

He had written to Wardmont last night without mentioning anything about the train, but Wardmont's reply late at night indicated that he already knew.Severus couldn't see his attitude, the words in Wardmont's letter had a dangerous tendency, but it seemed that he was thinking too much.After all, in addition to the specious words, Wardmont also wrote some other things, specifically pointing out that he needed Severus to do it, which shows the importance.

These things happen to be unknown to outsiders.Naturally, Severus didn't want anyone by his side.

Lily could only say goodbye to Severus.

The author has something to say:

For some reason, the image of Lily suddenly became a doll in my mind

I like pretty girls!
