The Snake Wife of the HP Professor

Ch.29: Admission

The peaceful summer vacation was interrupted by a letter from Hogwarts in mid-July.The thick parchment envelope bore the Hogwarts coat of arms, and on the front was the address at Spinner's End, "Zenobia Hayes, room on the left, second floor."

Zenobia took the letter from the owl's feet, and after seeing the recipient, she was startled and hurriedly opened the envelope:

Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Wizardry: Albus Dumbledore (President of the International Federation of Magic, President of the Wizarding Association, first-class magician of the Merlin Sir Order)

Dear Miss Hayes:

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.Enclosed is a list of required books and equipment.Semester is scheduled to start on September 31.We will be waiting for your owl to bring your reply before July [-]st.

Sincerely Vice Principal (Female) Minerva McGonagall.

aha?The snake girl was completely startled, she stared blankly at the parchment paper with wide eyes.After a few minutes, she jumped up suddenly, and hurried to the potion room with the letter, just in time for Snape to come out of it, and almost fell into the opponent's arms.

"Well, you are running so fast, is there a troll chasing you?" the man asked jokingly.

Zenobia shook her head fiercely, held up the letter paper in front of the other party, and said hastily: "This is more terrifying than a giant monster!"

Snape accepted the letter inexplicably, and his brows furrowed when he saw the words on it.Zenobia was very confused, and when she saw the man's ugly face, she also frowned, and asked softly, "Sir, what should we do now?"

The man sat on the sofa in the living room, stroking the letter paper with his fingers, and after a while he said slowly, "I think, maybe you wouldn't mind being a student at Hogwarts?" The current situation was a little out of his control, However, since the Silver Snake had fully transformed into a human, he had also considered allowing the other party to slowly integrate into the magic world with a suitable identity.Hogwarts' admission notice actually solved the problem.

Despite thinking this way, Snape was still in a bad mood: first, Dumbledore must know that the silver snake has a lot to do with him, and with his suspicious character, he might temporarily put the girl under observation; second, if Silver Snake went to Hogwarts, then she would become his student, considering his feelings, this kind of relationship always makes people feel aggrieved; third, although he has always wanted to let the girl fully integrate into this world, But... when it really came to this time, he couldn't control the dark emotions in his heart - the girl is so delicate and beautiful, with a gentle and cheerful personality, she will always meet all kinds of people, including many excellent men, who are younger than him Handsome, maybe considerate and romantic, maybe the family background is extraordinary and the status is good... At that time, would the girl still be as full of herself as she is now?This concern, on the contrary, makes the first two issues trivial.

Zenobia thought about it seriously for a long time, but she still couldn't make up her mind: she really likes going to school, but after all, she is at that age, and she is really not used to meeting people... However, if After going to Hogwarts, no matter where she is, she has a "legal status", and she doesn't have to hide behind Snape, and she can stand beside him openly in the future.Thinking of this made her heart move.

Silver Snake quickly remembered a key question: "But, will it cause you any trouble? How did the headmaster know that I live in your house, and even the location of my room? What happened to me at Hogwarts before that? Will he find out too?" The more she asked, the more worried she became.

Although Snape's expression was not very good, his tone softened: "Don't worry, your existence is sensed by the Hogwarts contract through magical fluctuations, and the headmaster cannot grasp the details of every little wizard who has not yet reached the school age. , Only after the end of each school year, the contract will fully display the specific information of the little wizard." Although his time as the principal was short, he still learned a lot, otherwise he would not have brought the silver snake into the school with confidence. Hogwarts recuperating.

"But now, the headmaster must know that I live with you?" Zenobia was relieved a little, but still worried, "You are a Slytherin after all, and you didn't join the Order of the Phoenix, will he doubt it? "After all, I am a person who appeared out of thin air.

"It's okay," Snape reassured, "From now on, everyone will call you my apprentice." Although Dumbledore was suspicious and didn't trust him, the old man was wise enough to see his position and choice clearly. , may be wary of the sudden appearance of the silver snake, but it will not really take special measures against her. As long as the girl behaves as a student, Dumbledore's suspicion will naturally be dispelled after a long time.

Only then did Zenobia smile and said, "Okay." Since the man told her not to think about it, she felt at ease.As for her origin, identity, etc., she believed that Snape could easily solve these trivial matters.Instead, she took out the parchment and wrote back to the school, asking excitedly, "Then when shall we go to Diagon Alley?"

Snape grimaced and snorted softly, "Do you really think of yourself as an 11-year-old little troll?"

"But I need to buy textbooks, uniforms, etc." After sending the letter, Zenobia sat down next to the man, rubbing his arm, "of course there is a magic wand."

The man said with a straight face and an unclear tone: "It seems that you are looking forward to going to Hogwarts to study."

After getting along for so many years, the girl could easily detect Snape's subtle emotional changes, rolled her eyes, and smiled back: "...well, I admit, I'm just too curious about Diagon Alley, you've never been Don't take me." Leaning weakly and bonelessly on the man's shoulder, her tone was slightly coquettish, "Sir, promise me, I promise that I will stay by your side obediently and will not run around or cause trouble for you. "

Snape's face softened: In fact, the girl doesn't need to be so soft to ask him. Even if she has never been to Diagon Alley, it doesn't mean she can't find a place. In essence, she is a powerful adult and doesn't You don't need others to guide you... I have to say that Silver Snake's attitude of putting him first in everything greatly satisfies the man's psychology and pleases him very much.

"The potion ingredients at home are almost gone." Snape said these words flatly.

Zenobia smiled and rolled her eyes: "Then let's go to Diagon Alley tomorrow." After that, she shyly but boldly raised her head and kissed the man's cheek, "Thank you, sir." She blushed and let go He got up, didn't dare to look at the man, and whispered, "I'm going to make lunch."

The next day, Zenobia was taken to Diagon Alley by Snape, went to Lihen Bookstore to buy most of the books she needed for seven years, and made a few new uniforms at the Mojin Robe Store, and was ready to Go to Ollivander's wand shop.

"Why do I have to wear a uniform?" The girl didn't care about the eyes of passers-by, tugging at Snape's sleeve—in fact, she wanted to hold the other's arm more, but unfortunately she is a little shorter now—and babbled as she walked. , "I really don't like black clothes, and wizard robes look weird." Perhaps due to the influence of race skin color and talent magic, she likes the holy silver the most, followed by the vibrant green.As soon as the words fell, Silver Snake heard the man's cold snort, and suddenly remembered that the man was always wearing a black wizard robe, so he quickly changed his words, "Of course, when you wear a black robe, sir, you look mighty and very handsome!"

Snape enjoyed being coaxed by the girl's good words, but he sneered: "No matter where you are, following the rules is the basic principle of survival. However, with Miss Hayes' brain capacity, it may be difficult to understand."

"Sir always calls me stupid," Zenobia said coquettishly, "I'm just complaining! Also, why do you call me Miss Hayes again?"

Snape inadvertently hooked the corner of his lower lip, with a lazy expression on his face, deliberately ignoring her.

Zenobia didn't care, she was already attracted by the small and dilapidated shop not far away, she read softly: "Ollivanders? Just buy wands here?" She muttered, "I don't know wizards Is there any magic wand in the world that is suitable for me..." On the premise that she already has a natal staff that she made herself.

Soon, the two walked into the wand shop. The nervous and talkative old man first said good afternoon, and then began to talk about Snape's birch wand.Zenobia listened with a smile, and was very surprised at Ollivander's understanding of the sold wands, but obviously the man beside him was not in such a good mood, and interrupted the other's nagging impatiently.

"Okay," Ollivander turned to ask Silver Snake, "Miss, which hand do you use?"

"Right hand."

"Put your arms up."

The old man began to measure Zenobia's size, and his mouth was not idle, introducing the history of their family's wand making.After measuring the data, he rummaged through the shelves for magic wands and asked Silver Snake to try them one by one.After trying many times in a row, Zenobia was a little disappointed. She was worried that Snape would be impatient, so she secretly mobilized the magic induction.

"Sir," Silver Snake pointed to the top shelf in the corner, "may I try that wand?"

Ollivander looked at the silver snake in surprise: "Of course..." He took out the wand and muttered, "Oh, maybe this magical wand will suit you... Ten and one-thirds Two inches long, a strange combination of golden nanmu wood from the mysterious East and unicorn tail hair..."

Zenobia picked up the wand and waved it, and saw a strange-looking unicorn stepping out of the holy white light, circling around the silver snake and then disappearing.

The old man looked excited and exclaimed loudly: "It's really amazing...Golden silk nanmu, said to be called the national wood of China, is gentle and peaceful but has the extraordinary quality of perseverance. There are very few wands made of this material; It represents a holy soul and powerful vitality... Wonderful! Wonderful! The little lady will definitely accomplish a great career."

Hearing this, Snape, who was standing on the sidelines, curled his lips in disdain. Obviously, he had heard the old man say that sentence to the young wizards many times, and he said straight away: "Choose and leave, Ollivander, this How much is the wand?"

"Seven Galleons."

Zenobia played with the wand in a complicated mood, and was taken out of the wand shop by the man absent-mindedly. At the same time, she heard the old man behind her say "the wand chooses the wizard".

"I thought," Snape said in a low voice, watching the girl stroking her wand fondly, "you are not a little wizard who is exposed to magic for the first time." He couldn't help but be a little puzzled by the girl's inexplicable excitement.

Silver Snake shook her head, carefully studied the golden lines on the wand, and after a while, said softly as if sighing: "Mr. Ollivander is right, the wand chooses wizards." In her previous life, she had always worn it on her left hand. A string of golden nanmu beads that have been illuminated; and the peculiar unicorn phantom that appeared in the wand shop just now is the image of a holy unicorn from another continent... As an old saying goes, in the dark... Own fixed number.

The girl's abnormality made Snape frowned, and then he remembered the situation when he got the wand, and he was relieved again.

"Hmm... Now that we've bought everything," Zenobia suddenly saw the cold drink shop by the roadside, her feelings disappeared immediately, she grabbed the man's palm, and said softly, "Let's go over there for a rest and have some food by the way." ice cream."

Snape's face darkened immediately, thinking to himself, really shouldn't worry about this stupid and greedy lazy snake, and said coldly: "It's getting late, I'm going to buy potion ingredients."

"Sir..." Silver Snake blinked her peachy eyes, the eyes were full of pleading and flattery.

"I'll pick you up later," Snape twitched his lips slightly, and handed the bag containing Galleons to the girl, "Stay in the store obediently, don't run around, and don't eat too much cold drink. "After the girl obediently agreed, he turned and left to do his own thing.

'How childish is this snake...' thought Snape, as he walked.Of course, he would never admit that he enjoyed the girl's growing intimacy.

'I seem to be more and more fond of acting like a baby. Zenobia sat comfortably under the umbrella and took a mouthful of delicious cream, but she was reflecting on her behavior in her heart.But... It's a great feeling to be pampered and pampered by someone!
