Atonement of HP

For the next month, both Snape and Lucius lived in dire straits.

At Professor Slughorn's house, Snape had to face the "Heir of the Prince family" (she called herself) with his chin up and his nose almost up to the sky every day.It is precisely because of this that Slughorn's teaching has completely become a tragedy.

With Voldmort threatening behind him, Slughorn certainly knew what he would have to pay to temporarily avoid Voldmort's call, but this Mina Prince was really not clear about the potion ingredients he demonstrated to her. The treatment method, as well as the matching skills of the ingredients of the potion, many things are basically his personal experience, an absolute secret that cannot be passed down!If it weren't for such an opportunity, it would be impossible for a potion master to let others know his techniques and blending skills in his entire life!

But look what he got?

"Professor, you are wrong. The Prince's family tradition should be to stir clockwise for three and a half circles"..."Professor, you can't just put pomegranate flowers in like this. According to the Pharmacopoeia of the Prince family, pomegranate flowers only It can be put in after it is ground into powder"... "Professor"... Slughorn swears he has never hated the word "Prince" so much in his life, if your pharmacopoeia is useful, you can ask for it on me?Didn't you see that your apprentice's eyes lit up when he saw his all-in-one teaching?

Out of dislike for Miss Prince, Slughorn liked Snape even more, and rarely gave him more skills than planned-originally these skills he planned to take to the grave , after all, these are the trump cards of a potions master.

Anyway, no matter how good Snape's talent is, it's impossible to fully understand it, and he should take it as a good deed, Slughorn thought so, but he never thought that his apprentice was not a simple fourth-year student at all. , but a real master of potions.

For potions masters, the theory is all the same, but the techniques are all different.Slughorn successfully opened up another way of thinking for Snape, and there were a few questions that Snape couldn't figure out, and he also had a vague direction.

Snape was ecstatic!What could make a person happier than his own improvement in potions?But now is not the time to study with peace of mind, while Snape forcibly suppressed his research addiction, he secretly considered the strength he planned to show in his heart.In this part, Snape almost thanked that Mina. No brains. No trolls. Prince. It was her existence that reminded him not to relax all the time.

Soon, one month will pass, and it will soon be the time to start school.Slughorn called Snape and Miss Prince over one last time, to finish his last lesson for the holiday.Like a prank, Slughorn proposed to brew B-level death water to "test the learning achievements of the two gentlemen and ladies", and cunningly pulled the head of the Black family who came to pick up Miss Prince to testify.

Seeing Miss Prince contemptuously glanced at Snape after listening to this suggestion, in her opinion, this half-blood got on Professor Slughorn's boat only by relying on the power of the white wizard, she Let him know that the dignity of the Prince family cannot be challenged!

Slughorn saw all this and smiled even more.Snape maintained his usual expressionless face, filled with anger at being challenged for the potion.Ever since Snape became Hogwarts' Potions Professor in his last life, he has almost ruled in the field of potions. Now that a firefly dares to compete with the sun and the moon, Snape only feels that he His dignity was challenged, looking up at the head of the Black family and Slughorn, Snape calmed down, and began to calculate in his mind how best he should be.

The Patriarch of the Black family didn't know about Slughorn's plan. He was afraid that Miss Prince would fail the exam and be angered by his Lord, but he had confidence in his apprentice.Orion remembered reporting to his Lord about Snape after returning last time, which really aroused Voldmort's interest.

"Observe him, and use him when the time is right." This was Voldmort's answer. Even though Orion emphasized that he was a half-breed and that his apprentice guarantor was Dumbledore, Voldmort just gave him an abnormal look. This one glance let him know that he was over the top, Voldmort seemed to be very interested in this hybrid.

Pulling back his thoughts, Orion looked at the two Snape and Prince with their backs to brewing the potion in front of him, and thought to himself, anyway, he always has to report to the Lord. I hope that Prince Miss really has two brushes.

--------------------------I am Snape's dividing line for brewing potions--------- ----------

Compared with Snape's repeated trade-offs with Slughorn, Lucius' life was even more difficult.

Ever since Voldmort expressed to the Patriarch of the Black family that he was willing to bless himself and Miss Black, Lucius fell into an inexplicable panic.

During the day, the upstart under the Dark Lord's command had to deal with those leech-like nobles—after taking over the Malfoy family in full, Lucius began to expand rapidly by taking advantage of the Dark Lord's wind power. In a short period of time, the Malfoy family not only The original industry is functioning normally, and about [-]% of the industry has recently been added!Don't underestimate the weight of this [-]%, for a noble with a big family like the Malfoy family, it is quite impressive to be able to expand their own property by [-]%.

In the evening, Lu Xiu

Lucius still had to cheer up to fight with the gentlemen and ladies. During this process, Lucius felt that his nerves were being challenged again and again.

For a time, the young head of the Malfoy family was well-known in the noble circles for his efficiency, which was favored by the Dark Lord, and his rapid rise to Gallon.Even though most of the nobles already knew that Lucius was going to be engaged to the young lady of the Black family, from time to time some pure-blooded families hinted that they "wouldn't mind being raised lovers", and some people even grandly invited Lucius at parties" Unwrapping presents", the contents of "gifts" include handsome teenagers besides noble ladies, illegitimate children, and veela, and all of these teenagers have black half-long hair, refer to the template-currently the only one in Slytherin The "humble half-breed" who had a romantic relationship with Malfoy.

When Lucius saw a new "gift" for the first time in the lounge prepared for him by the master's house, he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, there are too many people doing this during this period of time. From the perspective of the Black family or from his own perspective, he didn't want to have anything to do with these dubious people.

So Lucius asked people to go out very coldly, but this "gift" was obviously ignorant. After Lucius clearly showed disgust, he lifted the hood in violation of the rules, and the black cloak was not covered. .

"Senior Malfoy." He called out pitifully, and stretched his hand through the opening of the cloak, and his whole body began to tremble slightly.

Lucius was stunned at the first sight of the "gift". Black semi-long hair, black eyes, pale complexion, and what did he call him?Who allowed him to call him "Senior Malfoy"!Lucius felt himself filled with anger!

This is slander, they are slandering his Sev!I can't bear it, let the appearance similar to his Xifu reveal the appearance of serving others like that!Lucius squeezed the staff tightly, his gray-blue eyes almost turned silver, and the magic pattern on his wrist seemed to be burning, screaming to remind him of his irresponsibility.

"Get out! Don't make me say it a second time!" Lucius said coldly, his voice could almost drop ice scum.

"Malfoy school..." The person who came didn't give up, and even twisted his waist to stick it up. This is the current head of the Malfoy family. If he really climbed this big tree, let alone the person behind him, it would be him. I can also ascend to the sky in the wizarding world.

"Get out!" Lucius' powerful magic pressure exploded, directly shattering all the surrounding furniture, "Since you don't want to leave, then there's no need to leave." Lucius' eyes had completely turned silver , He suddenly thought that if he didn't express that he was afraid that there would be more such "gifts" in the future, if Sev found out in the future... Lucius shivered, even though he knew intellectually that there would be more "gifts" between them in the future. I'm afraid there won't be many contacts, but Lucius just can't do things that might make "his Sif" feel sad.

Thinking of this, Lucius waved his snake staff and cast a silence spell: "Let your strength relax, and your flesh and blood will separate." A black magic was released, and Lucius looked coldly at the "gift" that had flattered him just now, as if it had been taken away by him. The fish thrown onto the shore was gasping for breath and screaming in pain.On the surface, his strength was only relaxed and his hands and feet were softened, but in fact every inch of his flesh and blood seemed to be cut open by an exquisite tailor, and the skin and flesh were carefully separated and peeled off.Black magic never acts on the body, and the object they apply is always the most precious soul.

Sure enough, after a while, the "gift" stopped moving.

waste!Lucius was disdainful in his heart, and stepped forward to poke the snake stick. He couldn't even survive a "separation of skin and flesh". Such soul energy is too bad. Even if it is a "gift", his blood must be was diluted to a certain extent.

"Flaming." The last spell made this "gift" disappear forever, and Lucius' eyes slowly turned back to gray blue.During his time with Voldmort, he didn't just move his mouth and legs. His powerful magic power and pure blood were the basis for him to win favor.

"Master Malfoy, you..." The master who finally saw the door opened greeted him obsequiously.

"Don't let me see such a thing again!" Lucius pressed on without hesitation, "This year's cooperation with the Malfoy family will reduce your profit by [-]%. If you don't accept it, don't talk about it." After Lu Xius said Hughes left without looking back.

After that day, regarding Lucius, the entire wizarding community added a powerful consensus, and there were new speculations about the relationship between him and Snape—either the head of the Malfoy family was ashamed of this, or this was a A restricted area that cannot be touched.

Of course, these are rumors in private, and most people just laugh it off, but things like rumors are never really ignored, they are just buried in people's hearts, and they will always break ground and sprout at the right time.
