The day of the duel at Hogwarts

Chapter 27 Snape's Invitation

Damp and dark, this was Sean's first impression of Snape's office.

Amazing, this was Sean's second impression of Snape's office.

Standing in Snape's office, Sean looked at the shelf on the wall that reached to the ceiling. There were countless large and small drawers on it. Each drawer contained different potion ingredients and finished potions. Such a shelf cloth Snape's office was full, and as far as the eye could see, there were high-end potions such as dragon's blood, unicorn bone meal, and even Veritaserum, Felix Elixir, etc.

This shelf alone is worth a lot.

Snape put the books in his hand and the collected homework on the desk in front of the window. The windows here are the same as those in the Slytherin common room. The green lake outside casts pale green light through the windows, reflecting the Snape's desk was shadowy, very standard Slytherin aesthetic.

"Professor, you asked me to come, what's the matter?"

Without answering Sean's question, Snape stood in front of the desk, looked at Sean, pondered slightly, and said, "Sean, what do you think the potion is?"

"Potions are magic without a wand, are..."

Before Sean could finish speaking, Snape raised his hand, stopped Sean from continuing, and said in a slightly cold voice: "I'm asking what do you think the potion is, not what I said in class. Talking about what potion is, this is not a classroom, what I need is not a standard answer, what I need is your answer, what do you think potion is!"

Sean looked at Snape, didn't answer immediately, but thought with a slight frown.

As time passed, Snape, who didn't like waiting for people in the past, was actually waiting patiently for Sean's answer.

Finally, after a few minutes, Sean raised his head again, looked at Snape's cold, emotionless eyes, and said, "Potions, like wands, are essential things for wizards..."

Hearing this half sentence, Snape frowned slightly, obviously he was not satisfied with this answer until he heard the last half sentence of Sean.

"At the same time, for me personally, potion is more an art of matter and time. I enjoy the process of brewing potion, and I enjoy turning seemingly ordinary materials into something with otherworldly effects through my hands." The potion process."

It's not that Sean deliberately pandered to Snape, in fact, it was also his true inner thoughts.

Sean likes methods that can make him stronger, because he is very clear about the future direction of the world, and he needs to make himself stronger to protect himself.

But in fact, what Sean really enjoys in Hogwarts is the process of brewing potions every time. He likes this kind of potion that boils various materials into magical effects, which will make Sean forget Find his tranquility and peace from all the troubles and pressures in reality.

To put it simply, brewing potions is like assembling a Gundam to Sean.

"The art of matter and time..." Snape muttered to himself, and his mind returned to that beautiful girl with long dark red hair and green eyes a long time ago. He remembered that girl once said...

I like potion science, and I like the process of potion that changes substances gradually over time, just like art.

Lily...

Snape called out the name that made him nostalgic and guilty in his heart.

At this time, Sean was looking at Snape who was in a daze, and he suddenly found that there was such a small, rare, almost invisible smile on the corner of Snape's mouth. It was a very gentle smile, a kind of smile that Sean thought was impossible for Snape.

However, before Sean was surprised, that almost invisible smile disappeared from Snape's face, and he looked at Sean with that cold and empty look again.

"Good answer, I like it very much..." Having said that, Snape turned around and wrote a note and handed it to Sean, with the time and address on it, "If you want to go further in Potions, you can go further on the paper Go to the above address at the time on the note."

Looking at the address in his hand, Sean probably knew what it was.

Putting the note away solemnly, Sean said to Snape, "Professor, I will be there on time."

"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, you can leave."

"Goodbye, professor!"

Without staying long, Sean bowed slightly to Snape, turned and left Snape's office.

On the way out of the dungeon, Sean couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

After entering Hogwarts, Sean heard by chance that for many students who showed outstanding characteristics, some professors would open clubs for these students to teach subjects, but to join these clubs, you need to have considerable talent, and There are very few people in the club.

For example, Horace Slughorn, Snape’s former professor of Potions in the original book, once formed the Slug Club, which is such an organization, but the people he chooses to join his club are often the children of powerful families , or students of considerable talent, are also slightly more numerous, but of the same nature.

Sean also thought about whether he needed to work hard to join a club before, but that was at least a third-year plan. Now it seems that the club came earlier than he thought.

Walking out of the dungeon, Sean found Blaise waiting for him at the entrance of the dungeon.

Smiling and patted Blaise on the shoulder, Sean went to the auditorium with him.

Strictly speaking, life at Hogwarts, excluding magic, is actually not much different from university life in the ordinary world, except that the things you study are completely different.

Walking out of the Astronomy Tower, it was already very late.

Astronomy courses need to be taught at night, so the weekly astronomy courses start after dinner, and it is already very late after class. Generally speaking, at this time, the first-year little wizards, except for a few study madmen, would choose to go to Going to the library, everyone else would choose to go back to the common room of their house, and Slytherin would do the same.

But for Sean, this evening was different. After astronomy class, he had another place to go.

"Brace, I'll go first."

"Well, I won't wait for you at night, I'll just go to sleep."

"Okay, see you tomorrow then."

"See you tomorrow."

Standing in the Hogwarts dungeon, Sean bid farewell to Blaise. Looking at Blaise heading towards the Slytherin common room and the Potions classroom, Sean turned his head to the other side and walked into the other side. In the deep dungeon passage.

　Things at home are getting more and more troublesome, sorry for the late update, Chapter 2 must be updated before twelve o'clock, you can watch it tomorrow morning if you can't wait.
