[Comprehensive British and American] Guide for wizards to eat and wait to die

Severus Snape didn't know when he started paying attention to Emma Lyon.

Maybe it's the cute but fearless look she asked him to help when she first entered school, or maybe it's her green eyes like a clear spring, or her talent in potions.In short, he has been paying attention to Emma Lyon for a long time.

Although she is only a half-blood wizard, her family has never taken an unusual path in the wizarding world, and the surname of Leon alone is enough to attract attention.He was quite dissatisfied with her unreasonableness at first, but after locking her up a few times, he found that she was unexpectedly a good child.

For example, she often covers for Longbottom when he is not paying attention in class. Although he can basically find out, he is also happy not to expose her.After all, the confinement of Longbottom was a kind of torture for both of them.

He didn't like Gryffindors, but he didn't like bullying students most of the time either.For a student like Longbottom who couldn't even utter a complete sentence when he saw him, he punished him with no sense of revenge against Gryffindor.He only hoped that Hogwarts would raise the entry standards a bit in the future.

In comparison, Guan Emma Lyon's confinement was much more pleasant.First of all, she is a bright student, and he doesn't need to emphasize the key points of all potions twice.Second, she doesn't hate him.Although he doesn't care about other people's eyes, he will also feel uncomfortable if someone keeps looking at him with disgust (especially if this person is your child who cares about people).Yet she has a basic respect for him, which is extremely rare among Gryffindor students.Finally, and most importantly, she seems to have a natural kindness.This kind of goodwill is not aimed at anyone, but it is still rare.

Snape always knew he was the one who lived in the dark.This kind of unreasonable kindness is like a starlight in the dark night to him, although it is faint but very attractive.

People always like to label others, such as his label is "ghostly", "greasy", "death eater", "old bat", "potion master", "rich single man" (?) and so on.He never felt that these prejudices affected his life, and he never felt that he needed to understand.Until he met Emma Lyon.

A student who saw him only as a Potions teacher.

She didn't try to understand him, and she didn't judge him by his past mistakes.She just accepted the fact that he was her potions teacher, that's all.

Such a pure teacher-student relationship made him feel comfortable, and she didn't want to be friends with him, nor was she like most of the people who hated him.The safe distance she kept from him was exactly what he wanted.

It just so happens that he has been short of an assistant, and Emma Leon deserves this position.And Dumbledore kept him watching her closely because of her grandfather, so it made sense.

Potions were a delicate art, and he never expected any student to understand it.But her talent in this course has been initially revealed, and he even thought that if she revealed some intentions to study in depth, then he would definitely teach her everything, but four years have passed. . .

Emma Leon is still dawdling indifferently every day!

In Snape's not-so-short teaching career, he had seen many potential students, not just one or two, whether they were self-destructive or successful.But there is really no one else who completely ignores talent and is indifferent like her.

As a student who lived in the Muggle world since she was a child, not only did she show no interest in magic, but she also had no intention of further study. However, she did not care about studying at all, but she kept her grades at a level that was still acceptable.

Now that he really felt that he was old, he had to admit that he couldn't understand the current students at all.So what is she after?

But a week had passed since she disappeared with Voldemort.Although Potter has explained to everyone the whole story of Emma's disappearance, and emphasized that Voldemort has returned.However, the Ministry of Magic stated that there is insufficient evidence to make it unconvincing. In addition, even if Voldemort did return but disappeared, it can basically be counted as not returning.Such self-deceiving logic makes people unable to refute it.

The Ministry of Magic blocked the news, declaring that Emma Leon was recuperating from a serious injury, but secretly sent Oro to look for her.

He also asked Dumbledore's opinion on this.Although Dumbledore didn't show his emotions, Snape thought he should be happy, hearing what he had to say.

"Although Emma is a good child, if she can hold Voldemort for a few days, then Harry has more room to grow"

growing space! ?How did Dumbledore not discover that his golden boy was an idiot!No amount of time is enough!

"What? Do you already regard Emma as your favorite student?"

The words of the old principal made him speechless for a moment.He had never seriously thought about what Emma Lyon was to him, so she really was. . .

Dumbledore patted him on the shoulder at the end of the day's conversation, as lovingly as ever.

"She'll be back, Severus, I have a hunch"

Dumbledore is such a person, even if he has no basis, he is a force that can give people peace of mind.

After Emma disappeared, her stupid cat fell for him for some reason. Although he disliked small animals, it didn't seem too good for him to just watch it starve to death.So he mercifully opened a magic door for it.

However, if he had known what was going to happen next, he would have died to keep it out of the door.

But that's another story, and he's really not in the mood to talk about it.

It has to be said that although he was a little worried about Emma's disappearance, he finally slept his first peaceful sleep in many years after Voldemort disappeared for many days.

He dreamed of Lily for a long time.She sits in a sea of ​​flowers.She laughed suddenly when she saw him, and her smile overshadowed all the flowers.She had forgiven him for being youthful and misguided.She waved to him, her beauty still makes people unable to take their eyes off.He walked over blankly and sat beside her according to her instructions.She held his face up, the green still flashing.He suddenly wanted to say a lot, but her fingers covered his lips, preventing the words that were already on his lips.Finally she kissed his forehead.

"Thank you for taking care of Harry"

she said so.

However, Voldemort suddenly appeared, with a distorted smile on his hideous face.With a flash of green light, he woke up suddenly, sweat soaking his back.

Only then did he realize that Dumbledore's silver phoenix was hovering over his bed.

"Severus, come to the headmaster's office"
