In the evening, the atmosphere in the potion office seemed to be quite harmonious.

Snape was grading papers. From his furrowed brow and vigorous gestures, it could be seen that the papers on the table were either Gryffindor's or Hufflepuff's. On the other side, Ashley, wearing a steel arm, was Grind snake teeth into powder.

"If you finish these, go to the material room, there is still a bucket of slugs waiting for you." Snape said without looking up.

Ashley protests: "Why don't you let Harry and Ron come over and squeeze the slugs!"

Snape raised his eyebrows: "I thought you had a good relationship with those guys in Gryffindor."

"There is a specialization in art!" She poured the crushed powder in her hand into the bottle, and raised her head: "And you haven't locked Harry in confinement this semester, it's unscientific! The twins are making a bet, let's see what happens to you!" When will Harry be locked up!"

"Oh?" Snape remembered the Weasley boy in his mind, and asked, "How much did you bet?"

"I bet 200 Galleons! Bet at least twice before Christmas!" She lowered her head and continued to grind the snake's teeth in boredom: "It seems that the money is going to be wasted again."

It seems that these little monsters are still too idle.Snape frowned, deciding to add a few inches to the size of the paper.

"But professor, are you going to teach me to read or not?" Suddenly thinking of the point, Ashley raised her head again with a look of anticipation.

"No."

Ashley pouted and put down the burden: "Why?"

"That's not something you'll be able to learn while you're in school."

"Come on, the spells we learned during school are not as powerful as the potion made by Longbottom." Ashley curled her lips: "The potion he failed can be thrown for group attacks!"

"What do you want to learn?" Snape put down the quill and asked her seriously for the first time.

"I flipped through the forbidden/book section." Ashley's tone seemed to say that she had just gone to the study room: "It talked about a counter-curse of the Imperius Curse, but the intuition is the foundation."

"The counter-curse of the Imperius Curse?" Snape thought for a while, "There is indeed such a spell. What are you doing learning it?"

"I have a friend who has been brainwashed!" Ashley sighed: "It's equivalent to your soul-snatching, that guy's brain is not good at all, and he was used to do some murder and arson. I have to help help him."

Snape was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "You know someone who knows runes, don't you?"

Ashley froze for a moment, then nodded.

"Very good." Snape pushed away the chair and stood up, took out a bundle of parchment from the cabinet and stuffed it to Ashley: "Translate them all, next term I will teach you Repentance."

Ashley took it in a daze, and shook it after removing the thread seal—wow, a piece of parchment taller than her, densely packed with words!

Snape came over and read to the parchment with his wand: "Turn the page quickly!" The text on the parchment changed: "This is the potion formula recorded in runes." He touched the parchment with his hand: "This is the information I have collected for many years. I learned the runes to translate them, but the ancient records are extensive and profound, and the runes handed down today are no longer sufficient to explain these things. Wonderful recipe."

Ashley laughed awkwardly: "Ha, ha, there are still two pages left."

"There are four pages in total." Snape waved his wand, the parchment was re-rolled, and it automatically shrunk to the size of a palm and flew to Ashley's hand: "My request is that simple. After Christmas, I will start teaching You are insane."

Simple you big crucible ah!Ashley can't wait to curse, what does Wonder Woman have to do with her?It's fine to help her translate a potion formula once in a while, if you take it over four pages, she will tie herself up in parchment and send her back to New York!

She hesitated: "Could it be too much... Then what, I sent you so many potion materials before..."

"I don't need it." Snape turned and sat back, "When you leave, take them all with you."

"I don't even need it!" Ashley spread her hands: "These materials are very expensive, and it took my boss's energy and time to get them! You really don't want them?"

"I just want to translate." Snape was firm: "Today's confinement is over, go back."

Ashley bit her lip, she rubbed her left foot against her right, and refused to leave.

"What else?" Snape said impatiently, "It's half an hour before the curfew, I don't want Slytherin to be penalized for having a student night out!"

"That..." Ashley raised her head eagerly: "Can you give me a discount for those potion ingredients? [-]% off...ah no, just [-]% off!"

In the end, Ashley was thrown out of the office by Snape with the collar in her hand. With the bundle of parchment in her pocket, she stomped towards the dormitory.

"Glory comes first." Ashley read the command listlessly, but the lounge door was not opened.

? ?She read the password again, but there was still no movement. The person in the portrait opened her eyes: "The password is wrong!"

It's still like this before dinner!She frowned, someone must have secretly changed the password without telling her, the only person who has the ability to change the password is the prefect, and this year's female prefect is the fiancee's cousin.

How could it be so rare to fall for a Stark with a mere password!She raised the corner of her mouth, and slowly raised her right hand, which was still wearing a steel arm——

"If you blow up the lounge again, the dean will not be able to protect you!" The portrait finally recognized the person in front of him, and shouted in horror: "You will definitely be expelled!"

Ashley put down her hands resentfully, found a corner and sat down, throwing the shrunken parchment up and down, forget it, anyway, Pansy would come to pick her up before she returned to her dormitory after the curfew.

Instead of waiting for Pansy, it was the big black dog raised by Astoria.

Ashley dragged the big black dog: "Dog!" She buried her cold hands and face into its long fur: "Ah, it's so warm!" Then she rubbed its big head: "A person is so warm!" It's boring, I don't know when Pansy will come out, so just sit with me for a while."

let me go!The big black dog wants to break out of Ashley's coercion, who wants to accompany you, I'm just passing by!

Ashley complained to the big dog: "You know, it's such a long pile, but Snape actually said 'it's just such a little thing, it's easy'? It really doesn't hurt to stand and talk!"

The big dog nodded, that's what the snot man is like, even if you are a student of his academy, he is still annoying!

"He also said that this is a treasure he has collected for many years." Ashley played with the parchment: "It's very complicated when you think about it!"

A collection of snot-nosed men?The big black dog has captured the key words. If this collection is lost, the snot-nosed man will definitely die of anger!The more he thought about it, the happier he was, and he even wagged his tail.

"Four pages! Wonder Woman is so busy, she probably forgot that there is someone like me, and gave her such a big gift as soon as we met—eh? What are you doing!."

The big dog opened its mouth violently, suddenly picked up the parchment roll in Ashley's hand, and ran outside with a whoosh.

I wipe!Ashley's hands were empty, and she was stunned for half a second before realizing that the dog had snatched away the information Snape had collected for many years, the Mad Pill!Regardless of the imminent curfew, she picked up the steel arm and hurriedly chased after him.

The big black dog snatched something and ran towards the Forbidden Forest. Ashley chased after it hard. It was too dark. As soon as the big black dog arrived in the Forbidden Forest, it merged with the night. She chased for a while without thinking , completely lost its way.

"Damn it, when I catch it, I must peel off your dog's skin!" If only I could carry my mobile phone with me like Draco, that internet-addicted teenager, Ashley misses her electronic map and Hate that dog so much.

Already not knowing where she was, Ashley leaned against a tree and sat down in frustration. Damn Hogwarts, it's okay for wizards to bully her, even dogs bully herself!She sat with her knees tucked in aggrieved, what should she do now, if she bombards the Forbidden Forest a few times, will she be persuaded to leave?

The Forbidden Forest was pitch-black, and the sound of flapping wings of birds could be heard occasionally from the trees, and the howling of some animals in the depths of the forest was faintly discernible.Ashley put on the steel arm, as if it would give her some protection.

"Ashley?" Suddenly someone called her: "Are you there?"

Ashley opened her eyes in a daze: "Uh...Harry?"

In the black fog, Harry held up his wand in one hand and a piece of parchment in the other: "It's really you! I thought there was something wrong with the Marauder's Map!"

Ashley almost cried when she saw Harry. She stood up suddenly, but her legs became numb after sitting for too long, and she fell to the ground with a snap.

Harry trotted over to help Ashley up: "The Marauder's Map shows that you are in the Forbidden Forest, and the mobile phone map you gave me shows that you are in the dormitory. I thought there was something wrong with the Marauder's Map!"

"Finally someone came to find me!" Ashley was cold and aggrieved, she grabbed Harry's arm and stood up: "The map on the phone is marked by a magic wand, I don't have a magic wand."

There are wizards who don't carry wands with them.Harry complained inwardly, he supported Ashley: "Why did you come here?"

"Astoria's dog!" Ashley was terribly annoyed when she thought of this, "It stole what Professor Snape gave me!"

hiss!Harry gasped: "Then how do you explain to the professor?"

"I don't know." Ashley patted off the dirt on her body: "The dog will always come back, as long as I see it, I will chop it up!"

Fine.Harry deeply sympathized with Ashley, he held up his wand and walked ahead: "There are too many branches here, be careful, we will wear the invisibility cloak after we leave the Forbidden Forest, it is easy to get caught if we wear it here..."

He babbled on non-stop, Ashley followed behind: "I can't tell, Pansy likes to talk."

"Filch was dealing with the dung bombs thrown by the twins and didn't have time to catch... what did you say!" Even in the dark, Ashley could have sworn to see Harry blushing.

"Your progress is really too slow." Ashley was heartbroken: "You are a boy, take the initiative-oh!"

She tripped over something and fell face-to-face with a thud. Before Harry could recover, he saw a big dog pounced on Ashley.

"Oh!" Ashley let out a short cry, and then fell silent.

"Ashley!" Harry frantically pulled out his wand and yelled at the big dog, "Swoon!"

The black shadow dodged to dodge, and stepped on Ashley several times between jumping and jumping.

Ashley was so overwhelmed that she couldn't breathe, she struggled to start the accelerator motor of the steel arm, and swung the big dog out with a backhanded arm.

The big dog was swung so hard against a tree that it seemed to have passed out and remained motionless.

"Get up!" Harry said, about to help Ashley up.

"Wait, wait!" Ashley cried out in pain, "Don't touch me! Let me take it easy!"

Ashley lay quietly on the ground, and before she could get over her breath, she suddenly jumped up clutching her stomach.

A fat mouse jumped out from under her, and was about to hide in the darkness when there was a sudden bang.

A flock of birds startled above the Forbidden Forest. Ashley raised her steel arm and blew on the non-existent muzzle of the gun: "How dare you bite me? Paralyze the magic world. It's fine for dogs to bully me. Rats dare!" bully me!"
