Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 694 Snape's Sad History

   That's it, no more?

   Both of them were a little surprised. Just now, they were told by Snape that the tutoring was over, and they would be "invited out" of the potions classroom immediately after they didn't need to come again.

  The tuition period was shorter than expected.

The first section focuses on the key points of knowledge, the second and third sections practice processing raw materials, and the previous section is about brewing potions. They need to select and prepare potions from the raw materials prepared by Snape. The answer sheet is quite perfect.

   So Snape told them to go!

  There is one month left, so there is no need to continue "tutoring".

   It's a good thing for Albert to not need tutoring. Finally, he doesn't have to spend weekends and holidays, and he still has to see Snape's stinky face, which can easily affect his mood and appetite.

  After finishing the tutoring, the two went directly to the Room of Requirement to celebrate the end of the "tutoring". The house elf tried his best to prepare a sumptuous French meal for the two.

   "Where did you get these ingredients?"

   "It should be the seafood that the house elves got from the seaside. You know, house elves have strong magical powers. They can also use the Flying Charm. It is not difficult to obtain ingredients from the sea."

   The most expensive thing about this candlelight dinner for two is probably the glass of red wine in their hands.

   "Thank you for the scarf, I like it very much, did you weave it yourself?" Albert looked at the rosy cheeks reflected by the candlelight, and found a topic casually.

"I practiced for a long time, and the things I woven were barely readable. I wanted to knit a scarf for you. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time. I originally planned to give it to you at Christmas. I will knit the scarf for you another day. .” Of course Isobel knew her own level, but she was still very happy when Albert said that.

  Outside the glass window next to them, heavy rain was pouring down.

   "No, I think that scarf is fine now."

  Albert actually didn’t plan to use them. He had a lot of scarves and couldn’t use them all up, so he put them all away.

  Seeing that Isobel seemed to want to say something, Albert interrupted: "I found out some interesting things recently."

   "What's the matter?" Isobel asked.

   "The precious Whomping Willow next to the school is said to have been specially planted by Professor Lupine when he came to Hogwarts to study."

   "Is that the one that Potter hit with his car last year?"

   "Yes, there is a tunnel under the Whomping Willow, leading to Hogsmeade's Shrieking Shack." Albert planned to tell Isobel some things as small talk.

   "You have been in."

   "Well, the Weasley brothers went in last year and found a lot of scratches in the Shrieking Shack, and later found out that Professor Lupine was a werewolf, and I guessed the reason."

"Professor Lupine is so pitiful, he is a good teacher, Defense Against the Dark Arts class is also very interesting!" Isobel felt a little sympathetic to Professor Lupine, "By the way, Professor Snape seems to hate Professor Lupine because of his werewolf Has his identity robbed him of the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"

   "Not exactly, Professor Snape hates Professor Lupine, it's more related to his sad history." Albert drank some wine, and his words became a little too much.

   "Snape's sad history? I didn't expect Professor Snape to have a girl he likes." Isobel was also very interested in Snape's dark history, and girls were more or less gossip.

   "Could it be that Professor Lupine robbed Professor Snape's girlfriend?"

  Isobel felt a little unbelievable, it was hard to imagine that someone would like werewolves, it was too dangerous.

   "It should be said that Professor Lupine's good friend robbed Snape's girlfriend." Albert smiled and told Isobel about Snape's sad history.

   "After Black escaped from prison, I checked his affairs. Black was accused of betraying his friends, killing his friends and killing many Muggles. After being caught, he was thrown into Azkaban Prison without even a trial."

   "Professor Lupine and Black are good friends?" Isobel was very surprised. He didn't expect that Dumbledore would allow Professor Lupine to teach at the school.

   "Yes, they used to be very good friends, as well as James Potter and Pettigrew Peter."

   "Like the foursome in your dormitory?" Isobel knew that Albert had a good relationship with his roommate, and even planned to open a store together to make money in the future.

"James Potter is Harry Potter's father, and his wife's name is Lily Evans." Albert said mysteriously, "It is said that Miss Lily Evans and Snape have known each other since childhood." Yes, and the kind with a good relationship, um, Miss Evans later entered Gryffindor and is a Muggle wizard like me."

   "Can you also be considered a Muggle wizard?" Isobel raised his eyebrows slightly, and he had already guessed the result, "Snape's first love was later snatched by Potter. He seems to love her very much, so he never got married?"

   As for why they separated, it's not hard to guess.

Back then, mysterious people ran rampant in the magic world, which had a great influence on Slytherin. The students of the two colleges disliked each other. In addition, Miss Evans was a Muggle wizard and was in Gryffindor. The two sides had different ideas. In the end, Couldn't get together.

   "I think Snape must regret joining Slytherin." Isobel sighed softly. "If he goes to Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, he might end up with Miss Evans."

   "Yes, he regretted it." Albert blinked and asked with a smile, "What do you think Snape did afterwards?"

   "What?" Isobel was a little puzzled, didn't Professor Snape just give up?

  "When Snape knew that the person he liked was married, he wanted to **** Miss Lily Evans back."

   "Get it back?" Isobel looked at Albert's face, wondering how he knew these magical-sounding stories.

  Others are married, how can you get it back?

  Could it be...or it was Albert's guesswork.

"Do you know the prophecy of the savior?" Albert continued to reveal the news, "It was a prophecy made by Professor Trelawney. When I discussed the prophecy with her, she once revealed it. Although Professor Trelawney I don't know the result of the prophecy, but Snape broke into the room and interrupted the prophecy when she was halfway through her prophecy to Dumbledore. I think it should be that Snape told the prophecy to the mysterious man and asked the mysterious People don't kill Lily Evans."

  Isobel thought of Slytherin's unswerving style of doing things to achieve his goals, and suddenly felt that Snape's actions seemed very reasonable.

As long as Lily Evans is "free" after the death of James Potter and Harry Potter, Snape can use the Imperius Curse, or a love potion, or even directly reverse Lily Evans' memory To get the love you want.

   "I see. No wonder he wasn't caught. Could it be that after Miss Evans was killed by the mysterious man, Snape betrayed the mysterious man." Isobel immediately guessed the reason.

   After the fall of the Mysterious Man, Snape could not enter the Azkaban prison, but returned to Hogwarts as a professor. Obviously, Professor Dumbledore vouched for him.

  Since Professor Dumbledore is willing to keep Snape, it means that Snape is Dumbledore's spy, or that he is a double agent.

"Although there is no evidence, based on Snape's attitude towards Harry Potter, I think this is probably the case." Albert felt that Snape's story could be written into a "Snape's Sad History" up.

  Yes, there is really no sense of disobedience.

   "If you were him, what would you do?" Isobel asked curiously.

   "I won't give anyone the chance to poach my corner." Albert said domineeringly: "If I want to dig, I will dig other people's corners."

   "Poaching? Oh, that's what it means." Isobel looked at Albert with a half-smile and asked, "Then whose corner are you going to poach? Which beautiful girl have you taken a fancy to?"

   "I'm just making a metaphor." Albert couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "You should believe that I'm not that kind of person."

   "Whoever made you so popular, poaching people's corners is a breeze." Isobel was not at ease with Albert at all, because a man who is too outstanding can always provoke women.

   After dinner, the two snuggled up on the sofa, looking at the rainy scene outside the window.

   "There is a house for sale in Hogsmeade, and I plan to buy it." Albert changed the subject.

"You don't plan to settle down in Hogsmeade Village. What are you spending so many Galleons to buy a house?" Isobel knew that Albert did not plan to settle in Hogsmeade, and the two had already decided to find a place with beautiful scenery to settle down. up.

   "Because the dementors often harass the relationship, the price is very cheap. I spent two thousand Galleons." Albert asked the house elf to help him complete the deal.

"Don't you want to open a store?" Isobel raised his eyebrows and asked, "Besides, you didn't get Galleons from there, so where did you get this large sum of Galleons to buy a house? I remember that Gringotts doesn't let people exchange Galleons on a large scale. Long."

   "There is a black market transaction in Diagon Alley, which can exchange British pounds for Galleons, although the exchange rate is much lower than that of Gringotts." Albert explained.

  The magic world is not completely closed. After all, the number of wizards is limited. It’s okay to grow a la carte, raise some chickens, ducks and pigs. It’s impossible to grow food, weave cloth, or even seasonings for cooking. There are a lot of things that actually come from the Muggle world. Otherwise, how would Gringotts spend the pounds from the Muggle world? Goblins or the Ministry of Magic are not idiots, and no one would be so stupid as to trade at a loss?

  The total number of pounds that Gringotts can get in exchange for each year is not certain, and the pounds can be used slowly. If the amount is not large, they don't mind making a fortune.

   As for who to change, we have to say how powerful the Wild Smith family is in this regard.

   There really was a wizard he knew, so Albert successfully exchanged pounds for Galleons.

   "I plan to renovate the place after I buy it."

   "Don't expect me to live in next year." Isobel couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"The disappearing cabinet, I also let the house elf find it, even if you graduate from school, we can meet often." Albert blinked mysteriously and said, "Also, you can use it as a temporary work place, anyway you Staying at home is also being alone.”
