Chapter 26, Christmas for Two... No, it's the eve

Not many people stayed in school, so all the professors and students who stayed in school sat at a long table, and the double-black boy wearing the Slytherin emblem was particularly conspicuous.Sitting next to Severus was Mrs. Pince. Since very few of the remaining students went to the library, Mrs. Pince became friendly to Severus, a student who reported to the library every two or three days. .

Although tomorrow is Christmas, the entire Hogwarts has already been decorated.The tall Christmas tree that soars to the roof is covered with baubles, Christmas wreaths and candies, and groups of fairies—of course they are not the companions of Sanciville Lit, they are just some kind of alchemy products—fly around the Christmas tree.The entire hall was completely new, and even large flakes of snow that were not cold at all slowly fell from the roof.

Don’t wonder why wizards also celebrate Christmas. You know, when wizards and Muggles lived together in the past, their beliefs were the same. Merlin was used instead of God only to distinguish themselves from Muggles—of course there is God The reason why the people of the world are not friendly to wizards.

Now Christmas has become a commemorative traditional festival, just like the Mid-Autumn Festival to the Chinese.

"Good day, Mrs. Pince." Severus nodded to Mrs. Pince.Opposite him sat a few Gryffindors who were familiar but couldn't be named. They were different from the usual ones who saw Slytherin like a dog seeing a cat. The Slytherin sitting across from them didn't show anything aggressive, and one of the Gryffindors even nodded to Severus when he looked over.

"Hello, Mr. Snape." After leaving the library, Mrs. Pince looked very kind, which of course had something to do with her impression of Severus.

"I think everyone is very much looking forward to the after-dinner activities." Dumbledore, who was sitting in the chair, knocked on the cup, and a small stack of papers in front of him immediately flew up, and one by one fell in front of every student present, " This is the discipline you must abide by when you go down to Diagon Alley, please read it carefully. This time the person leading the team will be Professor Flitwick..." The short professor sitting next to Dumbledore nodded to everyone, "Then Now, let's eat," Dumbledore concluded.

Severus picked up the paper, and immediately felt that something flowed from the paper into his body. He was startled, and immediately raised his head to look at the others, but there was no abnormality in anyone, and the other students picked it up After glancing at it, he put it down and started eating.It shouldn't be a big deal, Severus put down the paper suspiciously and started to eat.

A group of fairies in veil skirts flew over the dining table laughing and joking, a naughty Gryffindor reached out and poked them with a fork, causing a burst of angry chirping, and the fairies rushed forward. Ryffindor's hair was messed up and turned into many colors, even tied with many small bows.All the people at the long table burst out laughing, and the little fairies finally lost their anger, and continued to fly away laughing and laughing.

When the fairies just flew over, one of the fairies broke away from the team and flew over the head of Severus who bowed his head and cut the steak.Severus froze, quickly raised his eyes and glanced around, everyone's eyes seemed to be attracted by that Gryffindor.He raised his left hand and waved it above his head. Of course it was impossible to hit him, but the little fairy took advantage of the situation and grabbed his hand and dropped it on the table.

Severus glared at Sansiveret who was pretending to be an Ornament Fairy, but Sansiveret also pretended not to see, she grabbed Severus' finger and flew up, pointing to a plate of fruit salad.

"She likes you very much." Severus raised his head sharply, but Mrs. Pince's eyes looked at Sanciville who was waving his fingers up and down to urge him.

Severus didn't know if Mrs. Pince recognized Sansive Lit's identity. Back then, his mother Irene recognized Sansive Lit as a real little fairy at a glance.

He twitched the corners of his mouth uncomfortably, pulled the plate according to Sanciville Lit's intention, and conjured a small fork and knife for her.Sunnyville let out a small cheer—in order to pretend to be more like, Sunnyville canceled the magic of amplification on her body—and threw herself into the fruit bowl.

Mrs. Pince didn't say anything else, except for a few students who were wondering why the little fairy didn't leave with the group but stayed beside the little Slytherin snake, no one was very concerned about Sansevieret sitting in the west. There was no question next to Forrest, and Severus was finally relieved to continue with his lunch, and at the same time was a little annoyed that Sansevieret had appeared so brazenly and blatantly.

After dinner everyone was given some time to go back to their rooms to get their things, and Severus changed into a heavy coat.

By the fireplace in the hall, Professor Flitwick was already waiting there, and while waiting for everyone to arrive, he answered a few questions from Severus in a good-tempered manner.

"Now, everyone is here," Professor Flitwick lifted himself up and nodded, stood in front of the fireplace, and took out a small bag, "Line up, everyone come to me to grab a handful of Floo Powder, and then throw it into the fireplace, Fix, can you show me?" A Ravenclaw senior nodded and stood at the front, "On the other side is Mr. Ollivander's wand shop, where Mr. Ollivander will still help you when you come back." After speaking, Professor Flitwick handed the bag in his hand to Fix, who was at the front, and he was happy He didn't look worried about what might happen to the students going to Diagon Alley alone.

Fix grabbed a handful and threw it into the fireplace, where a yellow-green flame burst out immediately: "Mr. Ollivander's Wand Shop." Fix shouted, walked into the flames and disappeared.

After a few people, Severus came out from the fireplace in Ollivander's wand shop.

I saw Mr. Ollivander standing behind the counter, wiping the wand box, and talking to himself.Seeing Severus walking out, Ollivander's eyes lit up, and Severus immediately felt his hair stand on end. He nodded hurriedly to Ollivander, and strode out of the wand shop.

As soon as he left the wand shop, Severus found a restaurant and quietly walked into the bathroom. A few minutes later, a man in a hood came out of the bathroom without attracting anyone's attention.

"Welcome... oh, it's Mr. Smith." The door of the medicine shop slammed softly, and a customer came in. When he raised his eyelids, the lazy clerk immediately became energetic. Host and guest.

However, the person who came by didn't come forward to chat because of the clerk's hospitality, but went directly to the place where the materials were placed and looked carefully.The young clerk didn't follow, but just stood there rubbing his hands, his eyes shining brightly at the clinking pockets of the person who came.

"Hello, Mr. Clerk." Mr. Smith finally stood in front of the counter, greeted the clerk slowly, and then took out the small medicine bottle that the clerk had been looking forward to for a long time from his pocket.

"Take an inventory, Mr. Clerk," Mr. Smith took out another piece of parchment, "this time the salamander eyeballs and deer antelope powder are not very good, and there are also dried nightworms and Ximel grass juice, don't want this time either. It's..." He changed the weights of several ingredients on the parchment while talking, the clerk was sweating profusely watching from the sidelines, and didn't bother to test the potions, oh, they must be the best anyway OK

This Mr. Smith is naturally Severus who drank the compound soup. Originally, he didn't have to come to the medicine store to deliver it himself, but occasionally he also wanted to enjoy the fun of "picking ingredients by hand" (in my own words), and It's the end of the year, no matter what, I have to show my face......

After the final delivery, Severus picked up the remaining gold coins and potion ingredients, and left the medicine shop.

But after Severus left, the sweaty clerk suddenly became respectful, he opened the small door at the back, and two old men came out.

The tall and stern-looking old man picked up a bottle of potion on the counter, shook it against the light twice, opened the lid to see the smoke coming out, and then put it back on the counter with satisfaction, but then it wrinkled again. frowned.Then he asked what materials Severus ordered just now, and the clerk answered them one by one. As he listened, he thought of countless combinations in an instant.

"Master Severus' technique is getting better and better." The short old man - also the manager of this medicine store, said Chris White.

"Hmph, it's just some common medicine." The tall old man—the head of the Prince family, Will Springs said disdainfully, with a hint of worry in his words.If you just make this common potion, no matter how proficient you are, it is impossible to make any progress. His grandson, Severus Snape, has to be honed in advanced potion making to become a potion master, but The question now is, how can we give him the opportunity to learn these knowledge and skills?In name, Irene had already left the Prince's house, and sure enough, it was better to recognize this grandson as soon as possible.

"How about this," suggested store manager White, "Anyway, the potions made by Master Severus have reached a certain amount in the market, so we can use this to raise higher requirements and ask him to make some advanced potions ...what do you think?"

"Just to see how far he has learned." Prince stroked the potion bottle on the counter and continued, "That's a good idea, Chris, I'll leave it to you. The finished product will be delivered to the manor."

"Yes, sir," replied Store Manager White.

Severus didn't know that his disguise had been seen through long ago, and now he and Sanciville Lit were standing in front of Ila's owl shop, there was a reason why he came to buy pets at this time.

There was a ringing of the doorbell, and the manager of the owl shop turned his head and saw a brown-haired man walking in, with his lips tightly shut and a serious expression on his face.Probably a strict father wants to buy a gift for his child, the store manager thought.

"Hello, sir, what do you want to buy?" The store manager who smelled like an owl walked over rubbing his hands, and got a death ray as expected.

"I thought it was obvious. This should be an owl shop...Right, I hope I read the name of the shop correctly." A stream of venom spit out from his thin lips made the poor store manager stand on the spot, and the culprit But he walked towards the owl stand from his side indifferently.

With Sanciville Lite, the owl draft ended soon. The champion was a very ordinary, even a little petite barn owl. Favored, but cheaper for Severus.

Severus took out a black anklet and put it on the owl's foot. The owl (not yet named) stood up and accepted it under the envious eyes of all the owls. Severus sent a letter he had written long ago Hanging on it, then turned around and asked, "That's all, how much?"

The owner of the owl shop looked at the owl flying away, and then at the brown-haired man who had no concept of "this is a gift", and silently thought that the brown-haired man who was about to receive this inconspicuous gift was also a gift. The ones that weren’t properly wrapped and even made the gift feel worthless to the child who went home first (so where on earth did you know it was a gift for a child?).
