[HP] Astringent

Snape didn't appear at the teacher's table during lunch, and Professor McGonagall told Vanessa that she could also choose to eat in her office, and there was a faculty lounge on the first floor for teachers to rest between classes.

"Then teachers can go to the library to borrow books?" Vanessa asked.

"Of course, you can also go to District X, but you also need to find Mrs. Pince to register."

Vanessa decided to visit the library when she was free.Snape wasn't there, so she enjoyed a glass of foxtail white wine with peace of mind, paired with seafood pasta, and came to Hagrid's hut with the meat and bones thoughtfully prepared by the house elf.

Hagrid greeted her sweating profusely, and gave Fang something that looked like broth out of a large dark brown pot.He also wanted to give Dahei a bowl, and Dahei ran to Vanessa in panic.

"Thanks for your kindness, Hagrid, but I brought him a bone."

"It's a pity, Ya Ya likes to eat these."

No matter how strongly Hagrid recommended it, Vanessa decided to bring food to Dahei every day in the future.Dahei's clean, black curly hair and muscular figure are completely different from when she first met her. It took her a lot of effort to make Dahei healthier.Yaya is still likable, Dahei has never been willing to play chasing ball games with Vanessa, but Yaya never tires of it.

"You can play with them here a little longer, and I'm going to get ready for class in the afternoon," said Hagrid, wiping the sweat from his brow.He was still wearing a moleskin coat, and Vanessa couldn't understand why he didn't take off the heavy coat.

"need my help?"

Hagrid said not so confidently: "No, there is no need... I can handle it. This is my first class, and I have to prepare well."

"I know, I'm nervous to death before class in the morning," Vanessa reassured. "Don't worry."

"Thank you," he said gratefully.

After sitting for a while, Vanessa heard the howling of beasts outside the house, and she ran out worriedly.A hippogriff raised its front paws high and flapped its wings. Hagrid held on to its chain firmly and shouted, "Bacobeak, good boy!"

Barcobeak felt Vanessa's strange breath and became even angrier.Vanessa took a few steps back, keeping her distance from it.

Hagrid calmed it down, and said out of breath, "The Hippogriff is beautiful, isn't it?" He looked at the monster in front of him obsessively.Barcobeak has cool fur that fades from dark gray to shiny chestnut and finally jet black.

"He's a handsome boy," Vanessa praised.

Hagrid smiled triumphantly: "I prepared this for the students, isn't it good?"

Vanessa said noncommittally: "Perhaps learning Bacobeak too quickly in the first class?" The worries in her heart deepened.

Hagrid also panicked, and said in a daze, "I thought it was a good idea...they would all like Bacobeak..."

She sighed, and agreed against her will: "It's really good. Listen, Hagrid, I think I can help you with a lead or two. I have to thank you for helping me look after Big Black."

"You're welcome!" Hagrid hesitated, then continued, "It's best that you can help me, they really don't like being crowded together."

Hagrid taught Vanessa how to get close to the hippogriff, a magical creature she'd only seen in books, and it was so much fun getting up close and personal.After gaining their trust, she led two of them by their chains and followed Hagrid, and Big Black followed, and they walked all the way to a fenced open space by the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

The rain stopped yesterday, the sky was clear and light gray, and the wind blowing from the Forbidden Forest was very refreshing. Vanessa sat down on a rock not far away, and Dahei ran and played on his own.

"Don't run too far, you can't enter the Forbidden Forest, you know!" Vanessa shouted, Dahei stopped and watched her wagging his tail, barked at the sky a few times, and ran away again.

After a while Hagrid brought back a group of noisy children, and there was always a lot of trouble where Slytherin and Gryffindor coexisted.Through a few low bushes, Vanessa could see Malfoy wagging his head and two of his henchmen mocking the book Hagrid had chosen.The Book of Monsters for Goblins required a stroke of the books to stop biting, and Hagrid thought they were interesting.

Malfoy's attitude seriously affected Hagrid's performance, and he began to stutter.Fortunately, Harry saved him in time. He completed the task excellently, bowed to Bacobeak, and won its trust.Almost the whole class applauded for him.

From a distance, Harry really looks like his father, not only in appearance, they can always easily become the focus of the crowd.No wonder Snape always looked at him in disgust.But for girls, isn't Lily Evans such an existence?Vanessa resents Snape's favoritism.

Harry was put on the Barcobeak by Hagrid. He rode it and flew around the castle. All the classmates looked at him with envy or admiration, except Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle.Vanessa didn't like Malfoy at first, Malfoy and the Weasleys never got along, but she found that the relationship between him and Harry was like Snape and Potter, and she thought he was a bit funny, but a Just spoiled kids.

Encouraged by Harry, all the students cautiously entered the paddock.Hagrid untied the chains one by one.There were nervous bows all over the paddock.Malfoy They asked for the Barcobeak, which bowed to Malfoy.Malfoy patted its beak, looked disgusted, and said in a drawl, "It's easy." His voice was loud enough for Harry to hear, "If Potter can do it, I know That must be pretty easy, I bet it's not dangerous at all, is it?"

Vanessa saw that Barcobeak was wrong, and the proud hippogriff was enraged, its eyes darkened and it stared angrily at Malfoy.

Malfoy was ignorant of the danger, and kept babbling, "You're not dangerous, you big ugly beast!"

Just before Vanessa was close to him, Malfoy let out a scream with a wave of steel gray claws.Hagrid immediately slipped Bacobeak back into his collar, which was still struggling to pounce on Malfoy.Vanessa backed Malfoy.

"I'm dying!" Malfoy yelled.

She said violently: "Mr. Malfoy, please be sober, I am the one who is going to die!"

Vanessa had a long, deep gash on her left arm, and blood soaked her gray robe and spilled onto the grass.With a pale face, Malfoy looked tremblingly at the blood dripping on his robes.

"Vanessa, are you okay," said Hagrid nervously.

"It's okay." She had to slow down her speech, to avoid her gasping voice making him cry guiltily, "Mr. Malfoy, because you didn't follow the professor's instructions, five points will be deducted from Slytherin!"

"It's not my fault!" Malfoy wailed discontentedly, but less confidently.

"It's all your fault!" Pansy Parkinson, a Slytherin girl who looked like a poodle, yelled at Hagrid angrily, "They should fire you!"

Hagrid flinched, and Vanessa looked at her displeasedly: "Miss Parkinson, because you spoke rudely to the professor, Slytherin deducted [-] points!"

This time, everyone in Slytherin dared to challenge again.

Vanessa took off her coat and wrapped it around her left arm with great pain to keep the blood from getting everywhere.She also distractedly cleaned it up, and the venue was as clean as if nothing had happened.

"Go on with the class, remember Professor Hagrid's words, and be respectful to the Hippogriff, otherwise Mr. Malfoy's appearance will be your end." She looked at the little wizard in warning, then turned to Hagrid He warned, "Don't worry, Mr. Malfoy and I will go to the infirmary." His face was still bloodless, and he nodded numbly.

Malfoy was quiet for a while, and followed her to the infirmary.

"You entered the infirmary just after school started, let me see who it is?" Madam Pomfrey walked over aggressively, "It's Mr. Malfoy, I didn't expect there to be Professor Weasley."

Vanessa fiddled with her hair resentfully, thinking that she didn't bother the stern head nurse when she was in school, how she was treated like this, at least she was acting bravely.

Malfoy's sprain was not serious, Madam Pomfrey cast a spell, and he was able to walk normally.

"Mr. Malfoy." Vanessa stopped him, he shook, and lowered his head disheveledly, "Go back and have a good rest, and be careful in class in the future, so as not to make similar mistakes."

Malfoy's mouth moved, he mumbled a thank you, and stepped back, closing the door behind him.

Madam Pomfrey pinched her arm and helped her apply a dark green steaming liquid.The ointment touched the wound, and she felt a terrible pain, so she had to bite her lower lip to prevent her cock from coming out.

The door was pushed open again, and Snape walked in with a bottle of potion: "Another idiot was sent to the medical wing on the first day of school." He snorted dissatisfiedly, because he had to work overtime Potions and anger.

Madam Pomfrey came to open the curtain and took the potion: "Thank you, Severus. I didn't expect to use such a complicated potion on the first day of school, and I haven't had time to prepare it yet."

As she spoke, she glanced at Vanessa, and Snape also followed her gaze, and was taken aback for a moment.

Vanessa raised her good right hand, greeted her, and said foolishly, "Good afternoon, Severus."

Snape looked at the arm covered with the ointment, his eyes darkened.He smirked and said, "Professor Weasley is truly a competent Gryffindor."

Her arm was sore and itchy, and she had to be ridiculed like this. She lowered her head aggrievedly, unwilling to meet his gaze.

Ten minutes later, Madam Pomfrey came over and helped her wipe off the ointment. The wound had healed but left a long scar, and she handed the potion to her: "You almost broke a bone, drink this, you should It'll be fine."

"Thank you."

"You can find some white fresh cream, apply it twice a day in the morning and evening, and the scars will disappear after a week."

Vanessa froze for a moment, then smiled gratefully: "Okay."

Madam Pomfrey sighed, and said earnestly: "Professor Weasley, I remember that after you were sent to the infirmary for your fifth-grade magic riot, I told you to drink potions regularly for recuperation, and to check up every year after recovery." .”

"Aren't I all right now?" Vanessa said guiltily, she moved her right hand, "It's absolutely fine."

"It's just fine for the time being, if you don't want to suddenly become a Squib." Madam Pomfrey's tone became serious, her eyes revealing concern, "And I found that you have the habit of drinking alcohol, which will affect your bodily functions. .”

It seemed as if her mother, who had been dead for many years, was standing in front of her, and she stammered her promise: "I... I will pay attention..."

Madam Pomfrey stared at her for a while before letting her go, and Vanessa hurried out with her blood-stained clothes.

"Professor Weasley," Snape called to her.

Vanessa paused, and was surprised to see him still sitting here: "Is there anything else?"

Snape stood up, flung back the tail of his robes, and said to her, "Follow me."

Vanessa followed him to the potions office without knowing where.Snape rummaged for a while in the potions cabinet that took up an entire wall, then produced a small box and handed it to her.

She looked down to see a label on it, and it was her familiar self - as slender and angular as Snape himself, with "White Fresh" written on it.

"You asked me to get the fresh rice?"

Snape looked at her with disdain like a troll: "Professor Weasley doesn't want me to send you there myself."

"I could actually do my own mail order," Vanessa explained.She just felt that the box in her hand became heavy, making her uncomfortable.She wasn't sure what Snape meant.

Snape snorted coldly, his eyes narrowed.

"It's nothing, I'll..."

"I don't remember when Professor Weasley became an associate professor in the study of magical creatures. But Gryffindors always have time to mind other people's business."

Vanessa looked embarrassed, and murmured: "Severus, do you always have to speak so badly?"

"Out of control."

"I'm overthinking myself?" Vanessa slightly raised her voice, "If it wasn't for me, your student, Mr. Malfoy, would definitely be lying in the hospital wing right now!"

Snape looked at him in silence, even the sarcasm disappeared, and he interrupted her expressionlessly: "What happened to the magic riot in the fifth grade?"

"Just... just..." This was the last thing Vanessa wanted to mention, she prevaricated, "Madame Pomfrey is making too much of a fuss."

Snape raised an eyebrow, looking at her suspiciously.She could see the faint worry deep in the dark eyes.His sudden concern always overwhelmed her.If it was my younger self, I would have teased and said, "Severus, I would mistake you for liking me."

But now, Vanessa took Bai Xian and ran away.
