Hogwarts Archmage

Esther held the paper in her hand, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the edges of the paper, and her brows furrowed slightly, as if the content on the paper troubled her a little.

Snape did not show her all the contents required for the potion that Margaery wanted to make. He only took out the first material, which was the one she "picked up" for Margaery a few days ago. thing.

"That is to say, that raw material will secretly extract Margaery's blood every three days?" She crushed the paper in her hand into pieces, then threw it into the cup and lit it.

"To be precise, it is once every two and a half days, each time lasting half a day. This process will probably take out more than two-thirds of the blood in her body. A large amount of medicine is needed to save her life. The time span is more than three years."

"I'm curious as to what kind of potion this is that makes you take it so seriously. Maybe you should tell Ma En himself about it."

"Of course he can't know that the main ingredient of this potion is devotion."

"The last question, can I know the name of the potion? Of course, you can choose not to answer this."

"Awakening Potion."

"Awakening potion? That kind of thing..."

Snape interrupted her, "It's just the same name. Maybe you can also call it...the summoning potion..."

"God? We are wizards, can we believe in such a thing?"

"We didn't want to believe it." Snape drank the last sip of tea in the cup and looked at the little girl who had lost her smile and only had a mean look on her face: "I need you to do something for me."

"what?"

"You are the closest person to him. I need you to always maintain his emotional stability and not let his negative emotions reach extremes."

"I will only let him feel free. Whether he is happy or unhappy, let him express his feelings freely. I have no intention of stopping his true emotions. Professor, I cannot guarantee this."

"You must promise that I am not telling you these things because of your threats that are not threats. This is just an exchange. I have given my sincerity and deserve to be rewarded." Snape looked directly at Ai ster's eyes:

"Why do you think I said so many words to you? The only person I care about has died long ago. The remaining people around me, do you really think I care about their life and death? Esther, that thing in your mind A somewhat extreme memory seems to fill you with overconfidence in yourself."

Esther's fingers holding the handle of the tea cup turned a little white, "...Professor, I can only do my best. According to you, it will take nearly five years to collect all the materials. For such a long time, no one can do anything." Guarantee what kind of situation he will encounter.”

"That's fine. If you can't do that, don't leave him in that mood for a long time. It's best not to exceed 180 seconds."

"Yes, Professor."

Snape stood up and was about to leave. When he opened the door, he suddenly stopped, laughed softly, and said in a low voice: "Miss Coleman, although Professor Dumbledore takes good care of you, he has How much I hate you, I believe you know it, why do you think he doesn't object to your approach to Ma En... I'm a little tired, I haven't said so many words in a long time, this issue... maybe we can discuss it next time."

"you!"

Snape had already opened the door and walked out, leaving only the door that could be opened in both directions swinging back and forth.

Esther threw the tea cup in her hand to the floor near the door. She yelled and smashed everything on the table to pieces. Everything around her that she could reach was thrown into a mess. .

She sat on the sofa and looked out the window with red eyes, panting, as if there was her enemy there.

After more than ten minutes, she slowly calmed down, took out her wand, held it, and said:

"Recovery"

……

It was already around five o'clock in the afternoon when Ma En came back. He controlled the time very well. In more than an hour, Esther should prepare dinner.

First, he went to find Hermione, who was "plotting" loudly with Harry and Ron, and asked her to go back later in the evening to give the two of them some space. He then returned to the tea house with his suitcase.

"Ester, don't prepare dinner tonight~" he shouted towards the courtyard as soon as he walked into it.

Esther backed out of the room and looked at him with some confusion, "What's wrong? Are you going to the auditorium for dinner tonight? Then I'll change out of my pajamas. I thought there was nothing wrong in the afternoon. I slept for a while and just woke up."

"Oh, no wonder your eyes are a little swollen...I didn't go to the canteen. I went to the Muggle restaurant outside and ordered the meals here." Ma En patted the box in his hand, walked to the door, changed his shoes, and carried The box went into the dining room and placed it on the dining table.

Hogwarts is located somewhere in Scotland. The latitude here is high. During the longest period of the year, there are nearly twenty hours of sunshine a day, but at the shortest period, there are only five or six hours of daylight. It is February now. It was still dark very early. Although it was only after five o'clock, it was already pitch black outside.

Marn took out all the food and tableware from the box and placed it on the table, opened the cabinet for storing miscellaneous items, took out two candlesticks and lit them with candles, then opened the back of Estella's chair and invited her to sit down. After extinguishing the wall lamp, he sat opposite Esther and tied his napkin.

"Marn, what are you doing?" There was a trace of doubt on Esther's face, but she slowly became happy.

"Shh... let's eat first. I'll tell you when I'm done. I've prepared a small gift for you."

"Then...okay." Esther picked up the knife and fork and ate slowly.

Because of his age, Marn did not prepare red wine. Esther is a person who pays special attention to physical development and would not let him drink it even if he brought it back, so he only had some juice as a drink.

This meal did not last for several hours like a fastidious person. Ma En put everything on the table in one go. He himself was not slow to eat. Esther was also looking forward to it, so he only used In less than an hour, there were only some decorations left on the plates on the table.

"Okay, Marn, can you tell me now?" Esther put away everything on the table and sat back at the dining table and said.

Ma En took out a long box from his pocket and slowly opened it. Inside was a necklace inlaid with red gems. He stood up and walked over to put it on Esther's white neck: "Esther, you seem to have forgotten What day is it today?”

"Today..." Esther looked at the magic calendar on the dining table. Two little people, a man and a woman, were walking hand in hand: "Oh my God, I...I completely forgot, I'm sorry...Marn...what did I even say?" I wasn’t even prepared for you...you should have reminded me...I..."

"It's okay, Esther, you are my best gift." He took the hand that reached behind her neck home and slowly arranged the position of the gem, "Happy Valentine's Day, my dear."

Esther stretched out her hands to hold the face of the boy who was two years younger than her, and pressed her red lips deeply towards his mouth.
