Settle at Hogwarts

After focusing on the blood and soul contracts that can be used between partners, Tabor announced that today's class was over, turned and walked upstairs.

He did his best for two children who were obviously not enlightened.

"Lily, do you like me? My uncle said that if you do, you have to tell me."

Standing at the corner of the stairs, Tabor was about to see why the two little ones hadn't come up yet, when he suddenly stopped.

Severus looked at Lily nervously, waiting for her answer.

"I like Severus too."

Lily's green eyes met the dark ones, and their eyes intertwined with pure and sincere friendship.

"Shall we try to sign a contract?"

Lily was also very curious about the contract methods that Tabor just mentioned, and she did not directly refuse her only wizard friend of the same age.

"Severus, what contract do you want to sign with me?"

"How about being friends forever?"

Tabor, who was eavesdropping, almost stumbled and fell down the stairs.

"Okay, forever friends, let's use the unbreakable oath. The blood alliance requires cutting the palms, the soul contract requires precious alchemy materials, and the unbreakable curse is the simplest."

Tabor hurried downstairs and interrupted the two little guys.

"The contract is a very serious matter, not a game to be played around with. I don't want you two to leave irreversible consequences because of your violation of the contract."

Tabor's rare seriousness immediately made Lily and Severus give up the idea of ​​entering into a contract.

Watching the two of them turn their attention to other places, Tabor breathed a sigh of relief.

If Severus hadn't been afraid of the future and fell in love with Lily and was not satisfied with just being friends, he wouldn't have been so anxious and forcibly interrupted!

This incident also made Taber realize that the two children were really not enlightened at this time.At least Lily had no awareness of Severus at all.

In the subsequent teaching, Tabor no longer tried to bring the two of them together, and only explained various common sense in the magic world in a regular manner.

"Knockturn Alley, if you don't have enough strength to protect yourself, don't go in this place. It's a gathering place for dark wizards. It's probably similar to Spider-End Alley in your hearts, but it's a little more chaotic. "

Severus was visibly uncomfortable when he heard about Spider End.

Lily instantly understood the status of Knockturn Alley in the wizarding world, and glanced at her friends beside her with some concern.

"In Knockturn Alley, many wizards are people who cannot survive. Not only are there wizards, but there are also races such as werewolves that are relatively rejected by the wizard community. Many of them have not officially attended Hogwarts and have accepted orthodoxy. My magical education is just to learn some cruel black magic and make a living by mixing it up."

Tabor paused and glanced at Lily before continuing: "When it comes to black magic, we have to talk about it. I hope you can have a correct understanding of black magic."

"First of all, black magic does not represent evil. It just needs to be driven by the desire to harm others in order to truly exert its power. Secondly, even Dumbledore, known as the greatest white wizard, is also very proficient in black magic. .”

At this moment, Lily was like a blank sheet of paper, letting Tabor paint all kinds of colors into her heart.

"Many people in the wizarding world reject dark magic. Even Hogwarts only teaches Defense Against the Dark Arts. But I have been to Durmstrang, where there is a special dark magic course. In my opinion, only by understanding it can we Look at right and wrong more rationally.

There is no doubt about the power of most black magic, but I do not recommend that you learn it prematurely. "

"Professor, if everyone doesn't know black magic, then..."

Tabor shook his head: "Lily, just because guns and knives kill people doesn't mean they are evil. If I use black magic to kill a serial murderer, do you think I'm wrong? Is black magic wrong?

Also, like I said, Hogwarts does not teach dark magic, but Durmstrang does, and some wizards with heritage will also learn and use it.If someone uses a force that you don’t understand at all to deal with you, do you have no power to fight back? "

Lily pursed her lips and nodded seriously.Although she had an instinctive rejection of black magic, she still understood the reason behind it.

"It's okay Lily, I will learn a lot of magic to protect you in the future."

After Severus finished speaking, he looked nervously at the girl sitting next to him.

If it were in the past, he probably wouldn't have said such words, but his uncle said that he had to speak out before others would know.

"Thank you then, Severus."

Tabor, an older single young man, couldn't help but take a sip of lemonade when he saw this scene.

Neutralizes the sudden sweetness in your mouth.

"Don't think about learning black magic before third grade. If you really want to know something later, you can come to me. If I find someone practicing secretly..."

Tabor glanced at Severus: "I can let him experience the power of black magic for himself."

The two little ones were intimidated. Severus subconsciously activated Occlumency, while Lily leaned closer to him.

Tabor clapped his hands with satisfaction.

"That's it for today. Now go back and clean up, and take you to eat... something delicious."

Severus and Lily went upstairs to change together, and Tubbo waved his wand to transform his robes into summer clothes that were convenient for going out.

With two children in tow, Tabor simply walked to the door and hailed the Knight Bus.

"Welcome aboard...Professor Prince!"

Tabor took Lily and Severus onto the bus, and then threw some coins to the conductor: "London's Chinatown, and a cup of hot cocoa for each of the two little guys."

"Okay, okay!"

Tabor sat on an empty bed, and Lily and Severus looked at the car that suddenly appeared curiously.

"Is this the Knight Bus that Professor you are talking about? It is indeed different from an ordinary bus!"

Tabor pulled Lily and Severus to sit next to him to prevent them from being thrown away in a moment.

"Of course it's different. This car is enchanted. It only takes a short time to get from here to London. Before you learned how to apparate, it was a very convenient means of transportation. After all, not everywhere has a Floo network. of."

The conductor brought two cups of steaming cocoa to Lily and Severus, and then said with some satisfaction: "Yes, you can summon us anywhere in the UK by raising your wand."
