Chapter 9 Transcript

Throughout the summer, Nancy didn't know how long she waited without receiving a letter from Harry.Maybe he was having too much fun?Or the Muggle relatives wouldn't let him write, after all they'd heard they weren't treating him well.

"Actually, I didn't expect that much, did I?" she whispered while sitting at the desk, looking at a package in front of her.She sighed, today was her birthday, and Harry's too.

She got up and took the package down the stairs and into the living room.Perry the house-elf was busy decorating the walls.Except for one wall covered with upholstery, the rest of the walls are covered with bookshelves reaching to the ceiling.The only vacant wall had been taken over by a long banner reading "Happy 12th Birthday to Miss Nancy!" pulled by two flying elves.There are also two that are constantly sprinkled with shiny confetti.

"Oh, that's stupid, can you take it off?" Nancy said as she descended the stairs.

A bookshelf was slowly moved away, and Snape came out through the secret door behind the bookshelf, his study was inside, and Nancy was never allowed to enter. He glanced at the banner expressionlessly and put a box on the dining table, "Happy birthday!" ’ he said curtly.

"Thanks, Severus, may I use your owl? Send something." She shook the package in her hand.

"of course can."

Nancy, who got the answer, walked quickly to the owl stand. "I will write back after delivery! He must write back to me!" She urged.The owl cooed twice, grabbed the package and flew out the window.

"It seems that you have gained a lot this year." Snape pointed to a small pile of presents under the window. "I've made new friends!" Nancy happily picked up the gifts and looked at the name tags one by one.Without Harry's.She silently put down the gift again.

"You don't look very happy?" Snape sat aside, studying her expression.

"I'm not unhappy, I'm just hungry, I hope I can have birthday cake for breakfast." Nancy quickly found an excuse to cover up.She didn't want to reinforce that impression to Snape, who already hated Harry.But why?Severus seemed to have disliked Harry since he hadn't met him, and his attitude was even worse after meeting him.But why is it a different attitude towards her?There must be some reason for this.she thought to herself.

Perry put the finished morning on the table.So Nancy temporarily put aside her thoughts and sat down in a chair to start eating breakfast.Roasted tomatoes, fried eggs, soybeans in tomato sauce, and bacon all served on one plate.And a bowl of porridge and some fried bread.

After breakfast, she took out a book from the bookshelf by the wall, and sat on the sofa to read "The Hammer of the Witch".

"I found time to look at your report card." Snape picked up a piece of parchment from the coffee table and said slowly.

Nancy suddenly felt that someone had stuffed an ice cube in her stomach. "Do you have to say it today? Today is my birthday." She poked her eyes out from the top of the book and said sullenly.

Snape lost his mind for a moment, and after a few seconds he replied, "Well then, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Forget it, if you get stabbed early, you'll get stabbed anyway! Let's talk now!" Nancy took a deep breath and put down the book to wait for the trial.

Snape picked up the report card again and smiled slightly, "Say yes first..."

"Let's talk about the bad first!"

"The bad thing is astronomy."

"I knew it!" Nan hoped to predict and criticize himself, looking at the ceiling, "Am I not scoring? I know it must be very bad! I only know one question!"

"A T!" Snape said deadpan.

Nancy looked at him speechless for a moment, "Well... I really can't remember where those stars are... They look pretty much the same to me, don't they?" She pitied Xixi said, hoping that there would be less blame.

"Perhaps you should put more effort into this subject and get at least a pass," Snape suggested.

"Okay, I will..." Nancy said sullenly, looking at the floor.

"Herbology O, Defense Against the Dark Arts E, Potions O, Charms O, Transfiguration O, History of Magic A. It can be seen that if you are interested in it, you should study it seriously, and if you are not interested, you will be perfunctory. I I hope you can raise your A grades to E and E grades to O! Spend more time studying instead of running around with someone!" Snape looked at Nancy sternly while holding the report card. "The No.1 in your grade was taken by Hermione Granger in this exam. A child from a Muggle family is much better than you children who have been exposed to magic since childhood! She got all O! I I hope you have time to think about why this is?" Seeing her uncomfortable look, Snape decided to end the lecture early, "I hope I won't tell you this next time."

Hermione ran around too... more than she did.But Severus would definitely say that Granger is eligible to run!He is the first in grade!Nancy thought sourly.

(O excellent, E good, A pass, P is poor, D is very poor, T...extremely poor)

At lunch, Nancy got her birthday cake as she wished.The cake was a single layer with lots of whipped cream, piled high with strawberries and sprinkled with frosting.There is a little chocolate strip that says "Happy 12th Birthday" on it.She blew out the candle and made a silent wish.

Hope this class of astronomy is permanently cancelled.

Two days later, Nancy received a reply from Harry.

Dear Nancy:

Wish you all the best.I'm living at Ron's house now.Something happened, I'll tell you when we meet.For some reason I can't write to you, and I can't send you a birthday present.I made up for the start of school.

Next Wednesday I will go to London to buy textbooks.How about we meet in Diagon Alley?

Write back to me as soon as possible.

Harry

Nancy squeezed the letter and thought about putting it away.She went to a room at the end of the stairs.Inside was a long and wide table with various utensils and cauldrons on it.There are shelves on the wall, and there are many specimens in the bottles. Unlike the ones in the school, the bottles in these bottles are even more strange and hideous.

"Get some dragon's blood." Snape ordered without looking up, stirring the liquid in the cauldron with a glass rod.

Nancy dug out a crystal vial labeled Dragon's Blood from the low cabinets under the shelf and handed it to Snape.

He used a test tube to drop a drop of dragon's blood into the crucible, and the purple-red liquid in the crucible instantly turned into a transparent liquid like clear water, but the texture was as viscous as egg white.

"What does it smell like?" he asked as he poured the liquid into the crystal bottle.

"Hmm...I think it smells a bit like leech mud, but it's lighter than that. What's that?"

"The potion of invisibility. It can only last for an hour, and the aftereffect is a three-day rash. Remember this taste."

"There's still a rash..."

"If you want to benefit from anything, you have to pay a certain price." Snape said slowly.He sealed two crystal bottles filled with invisibility potions with wax, and tapped the bottle with a magic wand to add a label with the year, month and day written on it. "The longer the potion is, the less effective it will be. After five years, the invisibility potion will lose its effect." He looked at Nancy, who was thinking, and said, "I hope you don't compare the expiration date of various potions with It is taboo to keep in mind, but it is still useful at critical times."

At this moment, Nancy had other things in her mind, "I received the book list for the new school year, when are we going to Diagon Alley?"

"Tomorrow if nothing else," Snape said.

Nancy hesitated and asked, "Can I go next Wednesday?"

Snape glanced at her, "Who are you dating?"

"It's Harry, I think... If not, let's go tomorrow." Nancy said quickly.

Snape was silent for a while and said lightly: "Then next Wednesday."

Next Wednesday is coming soon, they've had breakfast and put on their coats.Snape grabbed a pinch of shiny powder from the tin box on the mantelpiece and said, "Follow me!" Then he went to the fireplace and threw the powder into the flames, which instantly turned green, and he stepped straight into the fire , clearly saying "Diagon Alley." The flames roared and rolled up, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Nancy sighed, followed his example and sprinkled a pinch of Floo powder into the fire, "Diagon Sauce, ah no, Diagon Alley!" Numerous furnace doors flashed before her eyes, and she followed She kept spinning, always feeling that something was about to come out of her throat, she closed her eyes and prayed for it to come soon.Suddenly she was thrown out of the way, falling headlong to the cold floor.

She struggled to take out a small glass bottle from her pocket, pulled the stopper and poured it down her throat. The hot feeling immediately dilutes the symptoms of dizziness and vomiting.After feeling much better, she got up and looked around.

This is a dark store, and there are many things hanging in the store that are not so beautiful at first sight.Snape had told her that Diagon Alley led to many other alleys, some of which were traded in Dark Arts, such as Knockturn Alley.There is also Heishui Lane, which sells some shady things.There, both buyers and sellers wrap themselves tightly in hooded robes to prevent recognition by acquaintances.These alleys are full of violence and darkness, and there are rumors of children wandering in by mistake and never finding it again. This is not a good place to visit.

Nancy shrank and slipped out when the shopkeeper didn't notice her.

She shuttled through the alley like a headless chicken, but she couldn't find a familiar exit.The streets are very dark and narrow, with few people, only illuminated by the dim light from the shop windows that haven't been wiped for many years.

"Little girl, are you lost?" A middle-aged man leaning against the wall said to her.Nancy glanced at him, he was dressed in tatters, his eyes were hidden in his hair, he described him as wretched, he didn't look like a good person at first glance.

"No, my dad buys things in that store, it's too stuffy inside, I just came out to take a breath!" She casually pointed to a store closest to her.

"Oh, that's Mr. Bokin's shop, is your father really there?" The man didn't seem to believe it.

Nancy glanced at a store called Bokin-Bock, which seemed to be the biggest one in this alley.Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure flashing in the store.Draco!Her eyes lit up, she quickly opened the store door and ran in.
