The Snake Wife of the HP Professor

Ch.46: Drama

In the new school year, Zenobia’s life, study and research have not changed much except for the additional duties of a prefect; but in the eyes of other little wizards, Hogwarts this year is particularly lively, because there is The savior—the boy who survived a catastrophe, and his friends made all kinds of sensational deeds in just a few months.

The appearance of the savior once again reminded people of that war and the person whose name cannot be mentioned, so the hatred suddenly became clear. A few years ago, the relationship between the Snake Court and the Lion Court, which was only indifferent and stiff, seemed to return to the open confrontation more than ten years ago. The situation, the struggle and contradictions between the two sides are intensifying day by day.

Halloween is coming in such a lively day.At the beginning of the school year, Zenobia had learned in detail from Snape what might happen this year. On the premise that Quirrell's actions had hardly changed, they thought that there might be trolls tonight. The raid, both of them made some preparations.

Sure enough, as soon as the dinner party started, Quirrell stumbled into the auditorium, shouting the news that the troll had broken in.As the prefect, all Zenobia had to do was to lead the little snakes back to the lounge, and secretly raised her spirits to guard against accidents.

Snape, who was entrusted by Dumbledore with the important task of "protecting the Sorcerer's Stone", walked around the fourth floor symbolically, blocked Quirrell's way early, and threatened him viciously to stay away from the room where the Sorcerer's Stone was hidden.With the experience of his previous life, of course he would never break into the room because he was worried about the safety of the Philosopher's Stone, and was accidentally bitten by a three-headed dog.In the end, Quirrell had to follow Snape downstairs aggrievedly, and catch up with the savior foursome (Longbottom, Granger, Weasley and Potter) who had just encountered the troll.

"How many of them really killed a giant monster?" Zenobia couldn't help being suspicious when she heard the man talking about the follow-up, "Although that thing is indeed very weak, freshmen in the first grade haven't learned a few Curse, right?" The 11-year-old wizard is still weak and unstable in terms of magic power and spell control, so killing a giant monster with high magic immunity is simply whimsical.It's incredible that the levitation spell can defeat the troll.

Snape snorted coldly: "With the old bee around, there's nothing the hero-savior can't do!"

Silver Snake suddenly realized: "It seems that today's matter is also in the principal's plan..." Rarely frowned, "I have to say, the principal is too confident, so he doesn't worry about accidents?"

The man scoffed: "The Dumbledore I know is almost exhaustive." The old man even counted his own life, and Snape died before the end of the war in his previous life, but he could be sure of the final result. , at least the Dark Lord was wiped out. Of course, whether the savior who became a living Horcrux could survive in the end, he had no way of knowing.

"Okay." Zenobia opened a candy, stuffed it into her mouth, and said nonchalantly, "Since you said Mr. Principal is so good, we don't need to worry about anything."

The next day, at breakfast, Dumbledore tried his best to publicize the heroic deeds of the four saviors who defeated the trolls and protected their classmates. Go after Slytherin.The headmaster's decision immediately attracted the attention of the students of the other three houses, especially the young wizards of Slytherin who were obviously very displeased with this result.

Zenobia was also a little upset, but she knew that in the time and space of Snape's previous life, after the savior entered school, Mr. Principal, in order to increase the savior's reputation, took care of him in various ways and used various names for Gran. Fendor added points, causing Slytherin to miss out on the House Cup.This time, Neville's savior Longbottom didn't have Potter's flying talent, Gryffindor didn't appear as the youngest Chaser again, and he and his friends had a lot of skill in "causing trouble", even if There is a "know-it-all" lady who is excellent in academics, but she hasn't won many chances for Gryffindor.

However, this time the troll's surprise attack allowed Dumbledore to seize the right opportunity, not only adding points to the Lion House, but also greatly improving the reputation of the savior.Aside from the general disdain of the little wizards in the Snake Yard, the little badgers who have always been low-key and honest, and many little eagles who were originally alone, obviously looked at the savior differently after the principal's high-profile publicity.Longbottom's aura of savior, which had been dimmed by his timid reputation and ability to cause trouble, once again shone.

Looking at Snape's gloomy face at the guest table, Zenobia sighed slightly.She could almost imagine that, according to Dumbledore's plan, the foursome of the Saviors would add enough points to the Academy for "protecting" the Philosopher's Stone.

Then, in the expectation of the wizards, Christmas came slowly.During this special period, Snape and Zenobia did not choose to return to Spider's End; the Savior and the Weasley brothers were also among those staying in the school.Since there are no more than 20 teachers and students staying at the school, everyone gathered at a long table for the Christmas dinner.

The remaining students are basically Gryffindors, and they are laughing and playing in the auditorium without restraint.Sitting next to Snape, Zenobia had the opportunity to observe Neville Longbottom up close and aboveboard for the first time, searching her mind for her weak impression of the other party, while recalling Snape's evaluation of him, It was found that the boy who survived the catastrophe had changed a lot—the original cowardice and introversion were gone. Although he was not enthusiastic and cheerful, it was obvious that he was a confident little lion.

Silver Snake couldn't help guessing that the name of the savior might have the effect of changing the mind of the little wizard. Of course, she admired Dumbledore's way of motivating people even more.

……

During the holiday, the Savior got an Invisibility Cloak. Silver Snake guessed that Dumbledore lent it to him in the name of Potter by some means. Specially noticed, of course, the help of the Marauder's Map is indispensable.At the same time, the Mirror of Erised magically appeared in an empty room.Longbottom lost his mother when he was young, and his father also died after the treatment failed a few years ago. He only has a stern and mean grandmother, and he can't help yearning for a warm family in his heart.

Through the Marauder's Map, it was discovered that Dumbledore and Longbottom appeared in front of the Mirror of Erised successively. Zenobia turned into a small snake, and then used the invisibility technique to hide her breath, sneaking in through the castle's pipes and slits. She left the room—on the one hand, she wanted to know the conversation between the principal and the savior, and on the other hand, she was curious about the magic mirror out of alchemy research.

Listening to the conversation between Dumbledore and Longbottom, Silver Snake had no choice but to secretly admire the old man's mind attacking skills. When the two finally left the classroom, she looked in the mirror, hesitated for a moment, changed back into a human form, and approached. The first glance fell on the talisman on the top of the mirror, and he said softly: "I show not your face but your heart's desire."

"I'm assuming you're not indulging in false dreams."

A deep and silky male voice suddenly sounded behind her. The silver snake, who was in a state of mind, turned her head back, with no surprise on her face. She walked up to the other party lightly, pursed her lips and smiled: "No, I just want to understand the meaning of this mirror. principle."

Snape glanced at the face, took the girl into his arms, turned around and walked towards the door, and said flatly: "Try to keep away from such confusing things."

Zenobia listened quietly, and it was rare that she couldn't wait to express her feelings.Her strange reaction, but not as disappointed, made Snape frowned: "What did you see in the Mirror of Erised?"

Zenobia smiled without answering, and asked instead, "Sir, what did you see?"

Snape stopped and didn't answer her question.It wasn't until he returned to the cellar that he softly broke the silence between the two: "...you."

Silver Snake was stunned, and his thoughts drifted back to the principal's words: "It allows us to see only the deepest and strongest desires in our hearts." And, "The happiest person in the world can take Erised The mirror is used as a normal mirror."

——Is she originally "the happiest person in the world"?The relatives are few, but her parents in this life make up for the regrets of family affection. Although her parents passed away, she will be sad and miss them, but she also understands their choices. The memories and emotions inherited keep her from indulging in pain; she doesn’t have many friends , but there are a few close friends, so that she can enjoy the joy of friendship; love is complete, even though she has been worried and jealous, she believes in Snape's persistence and loyalty in love from the bottom of her heart, and subconsciously confirms the firmness of this emotion ... She never cared about power, fame and fortune.Satisfying the deepest desire, she shows no desire and no desire. Naturally, she can't see any difference from the Mirror of Erised.

But Zenobia was aching for Snape's answer: maybe men are suspicious by nature, maybe she didn't do enough, Snape saw her in the mirror, obviously subconsciously still worried about losing or feeling that he didn't fully own himself .

"Sir," the girl wrapped her arms around her lover's neck, and said the most straightforward love words in a soft tone, "I am the happiest person in the world to be with you." Love not only needs the impact of passion, but also meticulous maintenance .She will work hard to do better, so that men can also feel happiness without any uncertainty.

Snape was obviously pleased by Silver Snake's words, so he didn't pursue what the other party saw in the magic mirror—the lover's complete trust and dependence were enough to satisfy any man's vanity.

Christmas break is over soon.After school started, Hogwarts became more lively. Little Malfoy had a conflict with the savior, both of which were deducted points, and the little snake was severely taught by his strict godfather; near the end of the term, Long Barton and the others were deducted more than 100 college points by Professor McGonagall for violating school rules, which aroused the rejection of a group of young wizards. At the same time, they were taken to the Forbidden Forest by Filch for confinement.

Zenobia and Snape, who had been keeping an eye on the whereabouts of the savior and Quirrell, pretended to be gathering herbs when Longbottom met the main soul of the Dark Lord, and rescued the little wizards who were terrified in time.As for the injured unicorn, Silver Snake used the magic of light to save its life by covering it with potions.

The silver snake that swallowed the magic core of the holy unicorn and saved its life back then has received the kindness of the unicorn family. Although the unicorns here are very different from the holy unicorns in other continents, they belong to the same race to a certain extent— ——Zenobia judged from the unicorn tail hair on the core of the wand that holy unicorns should have appeared in this world in ancient times—so she knew that unicorns were dangerous, and she tried her best to It is impossible to sit back and watch the other party die in vain.

As for how Dumbledore viewed their meddling this time, Silver Snake was not worried, Snape was there for everything!After rescuing the unicorn, they unexpectedly got rich harvests: not only the tears of the unicorn and the holy blood donated voluntarily, but also enough tail hair and the friendship of the unicorn family... In addition, Mr. Principal had to add fifty points to Zenobia.

Everyone in the Forbidden Forest was happy with Snape and Silver Snake.

It's a pity that the joy didn't last for a few days. After the exam, Slytherin, who was originally holding the House Cup, was awarded a full 2 by Gryffindor by the old headmaster because of the "heroic act" of the Savior and his three friends in "protecting the Philosopher's Stone". points, and ranked No.[-].

With Gryffindor's cheers, Slytherin's anger, Ravenclaw's calmness and Hufflepuff's ignorance, Zenobia's helpless sigh and Snape's distorted expression, this school year is finally over .Summer vacation is coming.
