Chapter 52

After Harry finished talking with Dumbledore, Sirius said that he would like to find a position at Hogwarts so that he can take care of Harry nearby.Out of guilt about what happened back then or because he really couldn't find a suitable candidate, Dumbledore actually agreed to his application.So under the appraisal of Dr. Saint-Germont, Sirius immediately took office and became the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts...

Of course Snape was strongly opposed to this matter, and Harry saw him almost flipping the table with Dumbledore, "Dumbledore, are your eyes covered in syrup and your brain marinated in honey? How dare you let this happen?" A psychopath comes to school! What qualifications does he have to be a teacher!"

"You can be a teacher, why can't I!" Hearing that Snape doubted his ability, Sirius was furious at once, and roared in response without showing any weakness.If Harry, who was standing next to him, hadn't given him a quick tug, reminding him of his plans to be a good godfather, he would definitely have gotten into a fight with Snape in the headmaster's office.

"Sirius' grades are excellent, and he is in line with the requirements for recruiting teachers at Hogwarts. He has been an Auror and has a wealth of practice in dealing with the dark arts. These also meet our expectations for Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers, so I can't find him. The reason for rejecting him." Seeing the two people almost huddled in front of him, Dumbledore's reaction was calm, and he still explained his reason with a smile, "As for Sirius' condition, the medical practitioner of Saint-Germont thinks it is not It doesn't affect his work, in fact if he can have more contact with the crowd, it will be very beneficial to his recovery."

"The damn thing here is that the school is not a nursing home!" Snape roared angrily, ignored the old lunatic and stupid dog, slammed the door and left aggressively.Anyway, it was impossible for him to make Dumbledore take back his decision, so he could only express his dissatisfaction by slamming the door or something.

Everything worked out perfectly, except for Harry.He unfortunately found that there was something wrong with his magic power. Maybe it was due to excessive force when "burning" Quirrell, or maybe Quirrell itself had mutated. In short, he couldn't cast any magic spells, even after various tests Shows that he's all right, but he's just like a squib who can't use any magic.Dumbledore was optimistic about this, and he told Harry that this method is not difficult to treat, as long as there is unicorn blood.

"This is the negative effect of your contact with black magic, and the blood of unicorns can eliminate all black magic, so as long as you use unicorn blood as a raw material to make a potion, it will be cured soon." Dumbledore explained very lightly.

"Unicorn blood?" Harry didn't understand why Dumbledore was so relaxed. "Unicorn blood is hard to come by."

"There are many unicorns in the Forbidden Forest." Dumbledore replied without any pressure at all.

"But he won't give it to us." Harry had the urge to pry open Dumbledore's head to see if he was broken. A unicorn is not a cow or a horse. It doesn't give it to you if you want to bleed it Bleeding, cursed unicorn blood is like poison.

"Don't worry, Severus will find a way." Dumbledore smiled mysteriously, then patted him on the shoulder, "You'll know when the time comes..."

Harry was completely speechless, but Dumbledore refused to reveal it, so he, who couldn't use magic, could only obediently be an auditor, waiting for the mysterious gift to arrive.

In this way, time passed quickly, and Christmas came quietly without knowing it.Ron picked Harry up before daylight on Christmas Day, and the two of them went under the Christmas tree in the common room in their pajamas to unwrap presents.In addition to the invisibility cloak sent by Dumbledore, the sweater sent by Mrs. Weasley, the broom cleaning kit sent by Hermione, and the coins sent by the Dursleys, there are also limited editions sent by Sirius. A model broomstick and a big strange box.

"What is this?" Ron curiously helped him open the box, and found a set of clothes inside, including shirts, trousers, robes, scarves and even socks.Touching the fabric, Harry easily recognized that it was from a well-known children's clothing store, and he used to take James and Albus to buy it.

"Here's a card, but it's not signed." Ron found the card at the bottom of the box, and after looking at it, his face suddenly became a little weird.

"What's the matter?" Harry took the card and looked over it over and over again. There was only one sentence Merry Christmas written on it.

"I think it should be from Professor Snape." Ron swallowed his saliva looking at the piece of paper, "I often go to his office to deal with the medicinal materials, and help him often with formulas, he writes in private That's how it's written. Here, you see, it's clearly marked with a checkmark."

"From Professor Snape?" Harry thought for a while.He compared the clothes on his body, and they looked very fit.He didn't expect the man to give him a gift, but why would it be clothes?Oh, it must be that robe, Harry thought of the robe he gave Snape, and he refused to accept it at the time, so he murmured that it was very expensive, but he didn't expect him to remember it in his heart, and gave it away in a fit of anger. I bought this expensive suit as a gift.

This is really childish!Harry hugged the dress and smiled silly, until Ron pushed him, "Would you like to try it on? It's a Christmas present after all."

So Harry went out wearing the new clothes Snape had given him that day, thinking that the Potions Professor would be happy to see that he valued his gift so much.But it was a pity that when he came to the hall, Snape didn't respond at all. After a glance, he quickly turned his head away, but Sirius praised his new clothes.But in order not to let Sirius spoil the Christmas atmosphere, Harry deliberately didn't tell him that it was from Snape.

There weren't many people staying at school during the Christmas period, but because Sirius was there, Harry still had a good time that day.Sirius took them to visit Hagrid, and then they had a snowball fight in the snow, built a snowman, and bought a lot of magic fireworks to set off. In short, when Harry returned to the lounge, his smiling face was sour.

Because his body was covered with snow, Ron snatched the bathroom as soon as he returned to the dormitory. Harry, who was a step behind, could only sit in front of the fireplace and wait. It was written in cursive script just seen this morning, "Come downstairs in the hall, and take your invisibility cloak."

It was sent by Snape, what does he want me to do at this time?Harry only hesitated for a second before going downstairs with the invisibility cloak. When he walked downstairs quietly, he saw Snape who almost merged with the darkness in the porch.

"Professor, what do you want from me?" Harry asked in a cheerful whisper, wondering if he asked himself to come down just to say happy holidays to himself?

"Stupid Potter," Snape looked him up and down, obviously displeased with him, "an unsigned note can get you out during curfew, aren't you afraid of being killed by the Dark Lord?" His subordinates tricked him away!"

"I know that note was written by you, and I recognize your handwriting." Harry interrupted him. It's so unsightly to preach on such a beautiful festival, so he couldn't help complaining in a low voice, "If If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't come out casually."

Snape moved his mouth and didn't speak any more, only when Harry couldn't help begging for mercy under his gaze, did he move.

"He said you have an invisibility cloak, have you brought it?" He took Harry's hand and strode out of the school.

"Take it." Harry trotted closely to Snape's pace.His calves were short, and Snape's steps were too big and too fast, so if Snape took one step, Harry had to follow three steps, and it didn't take long for him to be out of breath.Just when Harry learned from the pain and made up his mind to drink more milk and try to grow taller than Snape, Snape suddenly stopped, and Harry, who had to run straight, bumped his head into Snape's waist .

"Teach, professor." At the moment when Snape picked him up, Harry was so surprised that he almost bit off his tongue.

"You're walking too slowly." Snape stated the fact expressionlessly.

"I, I'm sorry." Harry apologized in embarrassment, stretching his hand in mid-air and not knowing where to put it.He glanced at Snape's face, made sure he wasn't angry or impatient, and placed his hand cautiously on his shoulder.

This posture made Harry feel very embarrassed. He was suddenly picked up by a man, and no one would be too comfortable with it.What's more, he is not a real child. If he is treated like this, he always feels like he is deceiving others' feelings.

Harry was embarrassed to speak, and Snape didn't say anything more, and there was a sudden silence between the two of them.Snape carried Harry in his arms and walked towards the Forbidden Forest quietly, the only accompaniment was the creaking sound of the thick snow being trampled out, and snow fell quietly in the sky at some unknown time.

The author has something to say: Is this the so-called Christmas tryst?

There were no decent roads in the Forbidden Forest, and now the snow was half a foot deep. The normally difficult roads were even more difficult to walk in this snowy day. Snape hugged him with one foot deep and the other shallow. Leading Harry into the depths of the Forbidden Forest, he bumped into slanting tree trunks or branches from time to time along the way, and the snow fell all over his head.

This seems to be quite uncomfortable.Harry watched the white mist from Snape, hugging himself with one hand,
