HP's Lost and the Lighthouse

This was the quietest Hogwarts Commencement Ceremony since Snape's tenure at Hogwarts.Even in his first year as Potions Professor, the year when the Dark Lord's power was at its greatest, Hogwarts had never seen a smile at the opening ceremony.

He didn't give any pre-dinner speech—in such an unprecedentedly calm atmosphere, no matter what he said, it would only make people feel uncomfortable and tasteless.

It was in this setting that dinner began.

In all fairness, this was still an extremely sumptuous meal, drinks, soup, main course, dessert, a lot of them, but Snape ate it like nothing.

He always had the vague feeling that Dumbledore was still sitting at his right hand, laughing under his breath and praising the house-elves' food, or cracking funny jokes with a not-so-British dark humor.When staying with him, sometimes I always feel that the other party is not like an elder, but like a child full of childlike innocence...

Snape silently withdrew his hand holding the dessert plate, ignored the probing eyes from his new colleague, and pulled the custard flan that was almost pushed in front of Alecto Carlo to himself, silently I ate speechlessly.

During the opening ceremony when Potter drove the car to the school in the second year, Dumbledore dragged him out of his office in his irresistible way.He remembered the way the old man still recommended this pie with a smile under his dissatisfied stare - that time he angrily refused to taste Dumbledore's recommendation because of Potter, and he didn't expect its opening ceremony this year to be a coincidence It seems to have appeared again.

The pies were surprisingly not overly sweet - an odd thing to do with the British love of sweetness.The slightly sweet aroma was more in line with Snape's taste.

The man chewed, and suddenly realized that Dumbledore was not actually recommending his own favorite sweets that time, but recommending a food that fit Snape's taste to the young Potions professor... His eyes twinkled for a moment Appeared deeper.

When the last bit of food disappeared from the table, Snape glanced at Professor McGonagall who was sitting beside him indifferently, ignored the vice-principal's silent resistance, and stood up.

The auditorium was very quiet from the beginning to the end, and the eyes of all the students involuntarily focused on the black-robed man who made sudden movements.

He glanced indifferently at these terrified or curious gazes.Because the Dark Lord requires all young wizards in the UK to enroll, unexpectedly, this year's freshmen are more than in previous years, although...even though all the Muggle seeds in this batch of students have been captured by the Ministry of Magic .

Snape closed his eyes slightly, his voice was a little hoarse, sounding more low and menacing than ever.

"Welcome," he said softly, and the voice reached everyone's ears strangely. "As everyone here knows, this year, we have had to say goodbye to some familiar faces, and I am very, very sorry for that. I'm sorry." As he spoke, he curled the corner of his mouth sarcastically.This drew annoyed stares from some of the professors.

Snape ignored it.

"In addition, it is worth mentioning that this year you will welcome two new professors——Professor Amycus Carrow, who will be your new professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Alecto. Professor Carlo, she will be in charge of teaching your Muggle Studies class." Following his words, the satisfaction on the faces of the two Death Eaters could hardly be concealed, "These two professors will also be in charge of supervising the order of the school. .It is worth reminding that if any of you violate the rules of the school, the professors have no right to decide what punishment you will receive-this will be determined by the two Caro professors."

After finishing speaking, he sat down and glanced at the professors who seemed dissatisfied and angry on the professor's bench, his black eyes were bottomless.

"Prefects, please lead the freshmen back to the dormitories of their respective colleges." Professor McGonagall glanced at Snape who obviously had no intention of managing the students, stood up and said.

The auditorium, which was terribly depressed throughout the night, finally slowly heard the high and low voices of the students after these words, and the shouts of the prefects were mixed in, which made the opening ceremony of Hogwarts a little bit like the previous years. Lively atmosphere.

Snape stood up silently amidst the bustle, wrapped his black robes tightly around him, and walked out from the side door of the auditorium next to the professor's chair.

No one saw him leave.
