The warm summer breeze blew away the chill of early spring.

Time passed quickly and it was July.

In the potion room of the Fry family, a child about ten years old was looking at the middle-aged man in front of him with a pale face.

After a moment, the middle-aged man smiled and said:

"Very good! Braun!

You have learned to conceal part of your thoughts now.

And you have been able to resist my Legilimency for such a long time, which means that you have mastered the art of Occlumency.

I can no longer help you with the study of Occlumency.

The rest of your study will depend on your own efforts."

Looking at the little boy in front of him, Snape couldn't help but sigh.

The time they have spent together made him feel a lot for this stubborn boy.

At first, he agreed to help because of a potion formula from the Foley family, but he didn't care much about Foley in his heart.

In his opinion, a child would not be able to persist for long, and he wanted to learn now just because he suddenly became interested or he saw some books somewhere, which made him curious about this kind of magic.

When he loses interest and keeps doing boring exercises, he will definitely not continue to learn.

He has seen this kind of situation in the years he has been the dean. Too many.

But Braun did not do so. He not only persisted consistently.

And while learning the art of brain occlumency, he did not give up other studies.

For example, potions.

Sometimes he came early and saw Braun quietly making potions.

And he rarely saw that kind of concentration in Hogwarts students.

Potions are not like other magic. They need to be accompanied by quietness and solitude.

And Braun's calmness that did not belong to his age was also the reason why Snape had a new liking for him.

It can even be said that seeing Braun was like seeing himself when he was young.

"Mr. Snape is very grateful for your help during this period of time."

Although Brown looked pale at the moment, he still said respectfully.

Snape shook his head:

"My help to you is only a small part of it. What's more important is that you have the perseverance to stick to it.

Oh, there's one more thing. You should talk to your parents about this. I think they will be happy.

Come downstairs with me."

""Severus, I heard you have something to talk to me about?"

Mr. Foley came in from outside in a hurry.

Looking at Snape at the dining table, he didn't know what was going on.

Seeing that all the members of the Foley family were already there,

Snape didn't keep it a secret. He took out a letter from his robe and put it on the table.

The envelope was made of thick parchment, and the address was written in emerald green ink, without a stamp.

The back of the envelope was well preserved with a wax seal.

A shield emblem was prominently displayed on it, with four animals on it, a lion, a badger, an eagle and a snake surrounding the first letter of Hogwarts."H"The shield is composed of two ribbons with the school name and motto. It is the decorative part.

Mr. Foley was a little excited.

Although he was sure that his son would receive the admission letter, he finally felt relieved at this moment.

"Congratulations, Braun, you have received the admission letter from Hogwarts.

Because I teach at your home, this letter was not sent by owl.

Open it and take a look."

Snape looked at the excited Fry family and said to Braun.

Braun nodded and opened the letter tremblingly.

"Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: Albus Dumbledore (Special School Recognized by the International Federation of Wizards)

Dear Mr. Foley:

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Please find the list of required books and instruments in the attachment.

The school will open on September 1st.

Please send your owl to the school no later than July 31st.

Repressing the excitement in his heart,

Brown opened the attachment again:

"First-year students need:

1. Three sets of plain work robes (black)

2. One plain peaked hat for daytime wear (black)

3. One pair of protective gloves (dragon skin or similar material)

Braun excitedly handed the letter to his father:

"Dad, I was accepted into Hogwarts!"

"Yes, my son!"

Mr. Foley was also a little excited.

Although he had read the letter before, he couldn't help but read it carefully at this moment, and then handed it to his wife.

After she finished reading it, she took it and said that she wanted to seal the letter and keep it in the family forever.

"Severus, if you have nothing else to do, stay for lunch.

By the way, Brown, didn't you say that your potion has achieved results?

Show it to your teacher later. He is a master of potions and will definitely be able to help you."

"Ah? Yes, that's right. Mr. Snape, I have developed a new potion myself. I hope you can help me take a look."

After hearing about the potion, Snape, who originally wanted to leave, was no longer in a hurry to refuse.

He was also very interested in the potion that Brown said he had developed. He nodded:

"Yes."
