Chapter 694 Snape’s Sad History
That’s it, gone?
Both of them were a little surprised. Just now, they were told by Snape that the tutoring sessions were over and they were "asked out" of the potions classroom without coming back again.
The tutoring session was shorter than expected.
The first section focused on the key points of knowledge. The second and third sections practiced handling raw materials. The section just now was about brewing potions. They needed to select and prepare potions from the raw materials prepared by Snape. It was considered as a preliminary understanding. The two handed over The answer sheet is quite perfect.
So, Snape told them to get lost!
There is one month left, so there is no need to continue “tutorial training”.
It was a good thing for Albert that he didn't have to take tutoring classes. Finally, he didn't have to see Snape's stinky face during the weekend vacation, which could easily affect his mood and appetite.
After finishing their tutoring, the two went directly to the Room of Requirement to celebrate the end of their "tutorial". The house elf tried his best to prepare a sumptuous French meal for them.
“Where did you get these ingredients?”
“It should be the seafood that the house elves went to the beach to get. You know, the magic power of the house elves is not weak. They can also use the flying spell. It is not difficult to get food from the sea.”
The most expensive thing about the candlelight dinner the two had was probably the glass of red wine in their hands.
“Thank you for the scarf you gave me. I like it very much. Did you knit it yourself?” Albert looked at his rosy cheeks reflected in the candlelight and casually found a topic.
"I practiced for a long time, and the things I knitted were barely legible, so I wanted to knit you a scarf. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time. I originally planned to give it to you for Christmas. I will help you knit the scarf longer 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 falling.
“No, I think that scarf is fine now.”
Albert didn’t actually plan to use them. He had a lot of scarves and couldn’t use them all, so he put them away.
Seeing what Isobel seemed to want to say, 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 attend school.”
“Is it the same one that Porter hit with his car last year?”
“Yes, there is a tunnel under the Whomping Willow, leading to the Shrieking Hut in Hogsmeade.” Albert planned to tell Isobel something as a casual conversation.
“You have been in.”
“Well, the Weasley brothers went in last year and found a lot of scratches in the Shrieking Shack. Later they found out that Professor Lupine was a werewolf, so I guessed the reason.”
"Professor Lupine is so pitiful, he is a good teacher, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is also very interesting!" Isobel sympathized with Professor Lupine a little, "By the way, Professor Snape seems to hate Professor Lupin because of his werewolf Did his identity take over the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?"
“Not entirely, Professor Snape hates Professor Lupin, it’s more about his sad history.” Albert drank some wine and became a bit talkative.
“Snape’s sad history? I didn’t expect that Professor Snape also liked a girl.” Isobel was also very interested in Snape’s dark history, and girls are somewhat gossipy.
“Did Professor Lupine steal Professor Snape’s girlfriend?”
Isobel felt a little incredible. It was hard to imagine that anyone would like werewolves. It was too dangerous.
“It should be said that Professor Lupin’s good friend stole Snape’s girlfriend.” Albert smiled and told Isobel about Snape’s sad history.
"After Black escaped from prison, I checked on him. Black was charged with 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. She didn't expect that Dumbledore would allow Professor Lupine to teach in the school.
"Yes, they were very good friends, as well as James Potter and Peter Pettigrew."
“Like the foursome in your dormitory?” Isobel knew that Albert had a good relationship with his roommates, and even planned to open a shop 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 this Miss Lily Evans and Snape have known each other since they were children. Well, Miss Evans later entered Gryffindor and is a Muggle wizard like me."
As to why they were separated, it’s actually not difficult to guess.
At that time, the mysterious man was rampant in the wizarding world and had a great influence on Slytherin. Students in both houses disliked both sides. In addition, Miss Evans was a Muggle wizard and she was in Gryffindor. The two sides had different ideas. In the end, Didn't come together.
“I think Snape must regret going into 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, "Guess what Snape did later?"
“What?” Isobel was a little confused. Didn’t Professor Snape just give up?
“When Snape knew that the person he liked got married, he once wanted to take Miss Lily Evans back.”
“Get it back?” Isobel looked at Albert’s face, curious as to how he knew these magical-sounding stories.
How can you get it back when others are already married?
Could it be... or is it just Albert's guess?
"Do you know the prophecy of the savior?" Albert continued to reveal the news. "That was the prophecy made by Professor Trelawney. When I discussed the prophecy with her, she once revealed it. Although Professor Trelawney She didn’t know the outcome of the prophecy, but Snape broke into the room and interrupted the prophecy when she was halfway through prophesying to Dumbledore. I think it was Snape who told the mysterious man about the prophecy and begged the mysterious man. Don’t kill Lily Evans.”
Isobel thought of Slytherin's unscrupulous behavior to achieve his goals, and suddenly felt that Snape's behavior seemed reasonable.
As long as James Potter and Harry Potter die, Lily Evans will be "free". Snape can use the Imperius Curse, or the love potion, or even directly reverse Lily Evans' memory. to get the love you want.
"I see. No wonder he was not caught. Did Snape betray the mysterious man after Miss Evans was killed by the mysterious man?" Isobel immediately guessed the reason.
After the fall of the mysterious man, Snape was able to avoid going to Azkaban prison and return to Hogwarts as a professor. Apparently Professor Dumbledore vouched for him.
Since Professor Dumbledore is willing to keep Snape, it means that Snape has become 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 book "Snape's Sad History" .
Yes, there really is no sense of violation.
“If you were him, what would you do?” Isobel asked curiously.
"I will not give anyone the opportunity to poach my corner." Albert said domineeringly: "If I want to poach, I will poach 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 fallen in love with?"
"I was just making a metaphor." Albert couldn't help rolling his eyes, "You should believe that I'm not that kind of person."
“Who made you so popular? It’s so easy to poach people.” Isobel was not at all confident about Albert. Men who were too outstanding could always provoke women.
After dinner, the two of them cuddled up on the sofa and looked 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 and said.
"You don't plan to settle in Hogsmeade, so why spend so many Galleons to buy a house?" Isobel knew that Albert had no intention of settling in Hogsmeade, and the two of them had decided to find a place with beautiful scenery to settle down. .
"Because dementors often harass me, 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 shop?" Isobel asked with raised eyebrows, "Besides, you didn't get Galleons from there, so how could you get such a large sum of Galleons to buy a house. I remember that Gringotts doesn't allow people to exchange Galleons on a large scale. Roaring."
“There is a black market transaction in Diagon Alley, and you can exchange 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 is enough to grow some vegetables and raise some chickens, ducks and pigs. It is impossible to grow your own food, weave your own cloth, or even use the seasonings for cooking dishes. There are many things that actually come from the Muggle world. Otherwise, how can Gringotts use the pounds that come from the Muggle world? Goblins or the Ministry of Magic are not stupid. No one is stupid enough to make a loss.
The total number of pounds that Gringotts can exchange for each year is not certain, and the pounds can be used slowly. If the number is not large, they don't mind making a profit.
As for who to replace, we have to say how powerful the Wild Smith family is in this regard.
There was actually a wizard he knew, so Albert successfully exchanged pounds for galleons.
“I plan to renovate the place after buying it.”
“Don’t expect me to live in it next year.” Isobel couldn’t help rolling her eyes.
"The Vanishing Cabinet, I also asked the house elves to find it. Even if you graduate from school, we can meet often." Albert blinked mysteriously, "Besides, you can use it as a temporary working place. Anyway, you Staying home is also being alone.”
