I can enter Hogwarts in the last days

Chapter 281 Convincing Snape

No matter what, life goes on.

The next morning, the castle was still very lively. Obviously, yesterday's time was too short, and some things were still unfinished. Early this morning, the little wizards were still discussing the Goblet of Fire.

Honor and high bonuses are a fatal attraction for them.

Ian dressed neatly and came to the castle corridor. In England in September, there was a damp, cold and refreshing feeling in the air, which was refreshing.

A man was leaning against a pillar in the corridor, picking up his pocket watch from time to time to check the time.

He was waiting for Snape to finish class. After all, some things could not be delayed.

Morning 10: 30
Ian stepped on the spot and came to the castle basement, guarding Snape's only way back to the office.

tread!tread!tread!
Rhythmic footsteps came from far to near. In the corridor where the Potions office is located, no one except Snape could walk at such a leisurely and rhythmic pace.

A moment later, Snape appeared in front of him wearing long black robes.

"Professor Snape..." Looking at Snape passing by, Ian stopped him.

Snape stopped and looked at Ian with an indifferent expression.

"If you think Dumbledore can assign me things, you are sadly mistaken."

"I never thought so!" Ian reacted instantly. Apparently Dumbledore had already told Snape about potion research.

However, they all underestimated Snape's pride.

"Professor Snape, I didn't expect Dumbledore from the beginning to the end. That's why we met today. I hope you can give me some time, okay?"

Snape was stunned. This was the first time he had faced the affectionate Ian. This student had shown extraordinary emotion and maturity since he entered school. He seemed to be indifferent to everything. For a time, he thought A naturally ruthless person.

But at this moment, seeing the sincere emotion in Ian's eyes, Snape was sure of one thing, they were the same kind of people.

People who are used to hiding their feelings and are unwilling to express them.

"follow me!"

After Snape said these words, he turned around and opened the office door.

Ian followed closely and walked into the Potions office.Snape waved his wand to close the open door tightly, and then sat quietly in the chair.

Seeing this scene, Ian knew that it was his turn to play. "Professor Snape, before I convince you, I would like to allow you to tell me a story."

Snape's eyes were indifferent and he didn't agree, but he didn't reject it out loud either.

But anyone who is familiar with Snape's character knows that this is considered agreement. Ian happens to belong to this type of person, and then he said to himself:

"Before I entered Hogwarts, I wandered for a period of time. It was not an interesting adventure. On the contrary, it was full of misfortune and sorrow. During that time, I got to know Muggle children one after another and got to know each other. There are many stories that belong to them.”

"I remember that in the Liverpool area, I met a thin boy, and we got along very well. He showed me his treasure, the item that changed his destiny, an aluminum spoon, which he used in the land. Digged."

Ian gradually fell into some kind of memory. What he told Snape was a movie based on real events in his previous life.

"He lives in a slum in South Wales, a place rich in coal reserves. His daily job is to go to the railway with his brother and wait for the passing coal trains to drop scattered coal. Their job is to pick up these coal Collect them and take them to a town not far away to exchange for bread.”

"This is a day's food for their family of four, right! He is not an orphan, he has a family, an old and dazzled grandmother, a 4-year-old sister and a 12-year-old brother."

"Facing the pressure of life, my 12-year-old brother took on the source of his livelihood and decided to go out to work and let him stay at home to take care of his family. But he wanted to go with him, but his brother said that he was still young and could not carry heavy objects. In order to help his brother To share the burden, the 6-year-old used his weak body and both hands to lift the shabby chair in the yard, showing his strength."

"My brother compromised. That day, the two brothers got on the train to the big city together. They did not salute, and the only item was the aluminum spoon he hid in his pocket."

As Ian narrated, Snape was gradually attracted by the story without showing any impatience. He saw his own shadow in this boy, who was as thin, as stubborn, and as living among the common people. cave.

“…The train traveled all day, but this was not their destination, but in order to get tickets for the rest of the journey, my brother decided to do odd jobs at the station, and he was placed on a chair in the lobby and told not to run around. "

"The cold wind at night made him unbearable, so he sneaked into the carriage. Although the cold carriage still couldn't provide warmth, it was much better than the empty hall before. The turning point began, and he unknowingly walked into the carriage. Fell asleep……"

"When he woke up the next day, he was extremely scared of the speeding train. He tried too many methods, calling for help and slapping the carriage to no avail. Later he realized that it was an empty carriage heading to the dock to transport goods. At the destination, no one will open the carriage at all.”

"After a day and a night, the train gradually stopped. It was Plymouth Port, a full 460 miles away from where he left. He had not eaten for two days and was very hungry. He searched desperately in the station trash can and luckily found three An apple core gave him a narrow brush with death."

"He started his wandering life, rummaging through trash cans when he was hungry, and huddled in the alley when he was sleepy, for three full years. Until he met a gentleman, a real gentleman, and the owner of a shoe store hired him as a jobber. Apprentices are provided with food, shelter and a monthly salary of one pound.”

"They met in the cold winter of the third year. He had not found food for several days. He was sitting alone on the street and saw the shoe store owner eating lunch through the window. This scene was ordinary, but He was very hungry at the time. When he saw the spoon in the boss's hand, he also took out his treasured aluminum spoon and imitated the boss..."

"As fate would have it, his comical and pathetic behavior caught the eye of the shoe store owner."

"When I met him, he shared these past experiences with me, showed me the aluminum spoon that was beloved by fate, and had already mailed home the 15 pounds he had saved..."

Ian stopped telling. This is not a Hamlet-style tragic story. On the contrary, it is more like a symphony of fate. There is hope in poverty, and every turning point is exactly the arrangement of fate.
