as a model

When the school started in September, Rosemary received a lot of attention because of the advertisement for the school uniform. The magic world is so closed that almost everyone has seen the advertisement leaflet, especially the freshmen who have just entered Hoag. On the Woz train, they began to ask excitedly which college the girl in the ad belonged to, so from time to time, people in the compartment where Rosemary and Snape were sitting would come over to probe their brains, which disturbed Snape and threw him away. Several spells were cast to prevent people from approaching.

"Lily went to the prefect train, and she will be here later." Rosemary smiled slightly, without looking at Snape, neatly put her luggage on the shelf, and then took out her History of Magic The textbook is buried in the study.

"If you can spend more time in class instead of attracting bees and butterflies, you don't have to rush for the general witchcraft test now." Snape leisurely flipped through the book in his hand, habitually sarcasm .

Rosemary wanted to pull the corners of her mouth to show a wry smile, but found that she couldn't laugh no matter what, so she had to keep her head down and continue reading.

Snape looked at Rosemary and felt that something was wrong. He hadn't seen her all summer. She was already thin, but now she looked paler and weaker, and her mood was not high. But think about her parents It is not surprising to have such emotions after passing away, so he also took out his notebook and looked down.

After an unknown amount of time, Lily opened the door, breaking the uncomfortable silence. "Aren't you two too serious?"

She happily sat next to her sister and started chirping, "Did you know that someone asked me for your autographed photo? I just told them, one silver Sickle per photo."

Rosemary really felt very uncomfortable. She felt that she could pretend to be calm when facing any of them alone, but if she was in the same room with the two of them... she didn't know how to pretend that nothing had happened, so she could only keep her face down. , staring at her nails hard, not to let her expression reveal her embarrassment. "Well, how much money did you earn?"

"Did you give me the autographed photo? What money can I make?" Lily poked her sister's forehead with a smile, thinking that she might have lost her head from studying.

Sparing Rosemary, she took out a purse and handed it to Snape. "This is what Lupine asked me to give you just now. It's the medicine money for this semester."

In the purse were heavy Galleons after another, the money that Lupine was going to pay Snape for the Wolfsbane potion.After Lily went to Snape to fight, she just confirmed her long-standing guess that Lupine was a werewolf, but what surprised her was that Snape had been concocting potions for him.

After returning home, she took Rosemary to read it, but Rosemary just begged for mercy, saying that it was Lupine's private matter after all, and she couldn't reveal it casually.Lily thought about it too, didn't she not tell her sister about her guess about Lupin?

"How is Lupine? I haven't congratulated him on being a prefect yet!" Rosemary finally found an excuse to leave, and she clung to it. "Which car is he in? I want to go and congratulate him."

"It's still the same, mixing with Black, Potter, and Pedilu—you're going to go there now?!" Lily looked at her sister who stood up in surprise.

"Why do you bring your bookbag?" Snape, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two sisters, looked at the bookbag held in Rosemary's hand—she planned to stay in the werewolf's compartment, and then followed Are those four Gryffindor lunatics messing around?

Rosemary looked down at the bag in her hand, but couldn't find a good reason. After a long while, she uttered "I don't know either."

Seeing her sister's dazed look, Lily frowned, and pulled her to a seat to sit down. "Don't run around, just sit here, and you didn't come back until the early hours of this morning when you took pictures yesterday... I really don't want to go next time, look at your listless look."

"I just felt that I would not be able to get a scholarship. I had to work hard to make money." Rosemary was a little distressed. She really didn't have confidence in studying. Thanks to Lily and Snape taking care of the results, Hogwarts can see the past in recent years.

"You go to Slughorn with candied pineapple, he will not be stingy with a scholarship." Snape suggested lightly.In his previous life, he had applied for a scholarship, and Slughorn had never made it hard for him.

"But I have refused to enter his slug club for two years in a row." Rosemary was a little distressed. At the beginning, she attracted attention and was invited by Slughorn again, but she quickly refused. Now she has something to ask him, and I don't know if it will be successful.

Lily gave Snape a sideways look, telling him not to advocate Rosemary's heresy, "I believe that as long as your grades are good enough, Professor Slughorn can't make it difficult for you. As far as I am concerned, he is a fair teacher." .” Never discriminated against her for being a Gryffindor student.

"He probably won't be in the mood to embarrass anyone this year, a grand event with so many people in attendance—" Snape said with reservations, drawing a long tone.

"How do you know that Hogwarts is going to hold the Triwizard Tournament? It should be a secret!" Lily was taken aback, she didn't expect Snape to be so well informed, and she only listened to the students in the prefect's compartment just now announced by the chairman.

Rosemary looked at Lily and Snape asking and answering, and found it very boring. If it was normal, she would have continued to ask with a smile, but she was really not in the mood right now, so she could only look out the window with her chin resting on her cheeks.

Snape didn't answer Lily's question, and he didn't know why the Triwizard Tournament, which was supposed to be held more than ten years later, would be held at this time.However, he is not too surprised. Such an international event is undoubtedly a clear target in this stormy era. There are too many things that the two camps can do in such an event... But of course, these things don't need to be known to the two sisters .

Knowing that this event will be held in advance, Rosemary was not as surprised as the other students at the entrance dinner, but was secretly thinking about how to discuss the scholarship with Professor Slughorn.

On the first day of school, Professor Slughorn happily finished his breakfast and met Rosemary Evans on his way back to his comfortable office.

Slughorn was very impressed with the sisters of the Evans family. His sister Lily was talented and energetic in Gryffindor, and she performed well in Potions and Charms. Beautiful, gentle and sweet, her ability to cause trouble is as outstanding as her Quidditch skills... But Lily is willing to accept his overtures, and Rosemary, who is obviously her own academy, avoids it like a snake.

"Miss Evans, please come in." Slughorn opened the office door and invited her in.

Rosemary sat on a cushioned stool and looked at Slughorn with a soft, confident smile.

"Miss Evans, whatever it is that makes you want to come to me on your first day of school, I'm more than happy to help," Slughorn said politely.

"Thank you, Professor." Rosemary continued with a smile on her face, "I do have something to ask for your help. At the same time, I also brought some small gifts."

She took out a small bag made of dragon skin that was only the size of a palm, and opened the bundle, revealing a lock of dry hair inside, and said in a flattering tone. "This is the hair of a mermaid that I got by chance. When I got it, I thought, among the people I know, except for a potion master like Professor Slughorn, no one can handle it."

Slughorn's eyes sparkled and he uttered a tut-tut of approval. "Oh... oh! This is really rare. Everyone knows how precious mermaids are with their hair... It's really impressive." After admiring, Slughorn looked at Rosemary meaningfully and said : "Miss Evans, as your college tutor, I should do my best to help you, there is really no need to give such an expensive gift... Let me tell you what you need my help for!"

Seeing Professor Slughorn's attitude, Rosemary calmed down and said her request: "Actually, it's about the scholarship." She swallowed and continued. "My parents passed away during the summer vacation, and the family's financial situation is... well... a bit tight. I hope to apply for a scholarship."

Schoran didn't expect it to be just such a request, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Hogwarts already has a scholarship for students in need, as long as your grades meet the requirements, you can apply for it── Of course, it needs to be reviewed by the college tutor and the principal, but based on your situation and grades, there should be no problem." He remembered that Rosemary's grades were very good, and he didn't understand why she was so worried.

If it was just for this matter, then Rosemary's gift of mermaid hair was too great, but he really couldn't let go of this gift...In this case...Slughorn suddenly remembered something, He showed a kind smile, looked at Rosemary and said, "In this case, do you want to work part-time?"

"Part-time job?" Rosemary showed a puzzled expression.

"I've read your book "The Potion Uses of Belladonna: Sparkling Sparks from Cultural Differences", which quoted a paper by the French potion master Vincent Bobile—your translation Very nice. How do you speak French?"

The author has something to say:
