The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

Smelling the smell of blood in the air, John didn't pay much attention at first.

After all, there are a lot of potion materials that need to be harvested alive, so the smell of blood often appears in the potions office.

But when he discovered that the faint smell of blood was coming from Snape's cubicle, he immediately became vigilant.

He didn't think Snape would be stupid enough to harvest biological materials alive in his bedroom.

Then things become not so simple.

Slowing down his breathing, John took out his wand and walked quietly to the bedroom.

He was already prepared to fire a shot at the things inside as soon as the door opened, turning them all to stone and then tearing them apart.

However, when he actually rushed into the bedroom, he was stunned.

Because there were no thieves or animals accidentally breaking into the small bedroom, only Snape himself.

At this moment, he was sitting alone on the edge of the bed, lifting his robe above his knees.

And his exposed leg was dripping with blood and bloody.

Snape was holding a bandage in one hand and white essence in the other, applying the medicine with great difficulty.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Snape subconsciously raised his head and met John's eyes.

As the two looked at each other, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Snape's facial muscles twitched unnaturally, and he was about to drive John out.

He really didn't want his students to see him injured and embarrassed.

And based on his understanding of John, after witnessing this scene, John was most likely going to mock him.

But this time Snape guessed wrong.

Before Snape could scold him, John had already arrived in front of Snape.

He didn't say a word. He squatted down silently, took the white essence and straps, and began to help Snape apply medicine and bandage.

Looking at John, who was lowering his head and bandaging carefully, Snape was a little moved.

His lips moved slightly, as if he was organizing words.

But after a long time, he just said lightly:

"You have to be careful Quirrell."

John paused in his movements, continued to lower his head, and said as if nothing had happened:

"Oh, he hurt you?"

How could Snape not see through John's thoughts? He felt warm in his heart, but pretended to be disdainful and said:

"Just him? Ha! That kind of trash is far from enough!"

"Then how did you get injured?" John then asked.

"This is not something you need to worry about." Snape said, reaching out to cover his left forearm, "Anyway, don't provoke Quirrell, just stay alert to him. I can feel it, that guy There must be something wrong with you.”

John didn't answer, but continued to bandage Snape in silence.

It wasn't until the bandaging was completed that he stood up and said:

"By the way, I'm taking a day off tomorrow, and Harry invited me to watch his first Quidditch match."

Snape said with a cold look:

"No!"

"Michelle will also go then."

"Oh, it's okay, let's go."

Seeing Snape's attitude changed 180 degrees, John shook his head and said with some confusion:

"I really don't understand, why do you become so weird as long as something involves me and Michelle at the same time?"

Snape lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, his eyes always on the leg that John had just bandaged for him.

When John saw this, he thought Snape would change the subject again like he just did, or directly reply, 'This is not your concern.'

But what he didn't expect was that after a long silence, Snape suddenly said slowly and in an erratic tone:

"John, you should be nicer to Michelle."

John didn't speak, just looked at Snape quietly.

He knew that Snape wasn't done yet.

Sure enough, Snape continued:

"Don't spend all your time studying potions and spells. You will have more time to do these things in the future. Don't get angry with Michelle, don't say angry words to Michelle, let alone say anything to Michelle. Too harsh.

You should spend more time with Michelle, go to games with her, go shopping with her, and do boring things with her.

Also, you are rich now, so you shouldn’t be stingy.Go buy her some delicious food, some nice dresses and trinkets.

Oh, right!And flowers!You know that, right?Little girls at this age like those things. "

As if he remembered something, a smile appeared on Snape's face when he said this.

It's a pity that this smile only flashed by, "The feelings between people will change, and they need to be maintained with materials and actions.

If you are not nice to Michelle, others will naturally be nice to Michelle.If you lose your temper with Michelle, others will naturally comfort her.As time goes by, you will lose her.

Do you understand? "

Listening to Snape's words, John really wanted to explain that he only regarded Michelle as his sister and had no other feelings for her.

John wanted to complain about Snape even more, saying that Snape himself was an old bachelor and how could he be qualified to teach him about love.

But in the end, these words were still not uttered.

It wasn't just that Snape looked a little miserable at the moment.

It was even more because John absorbed the magic power emanating from Snape's body.

John's ability to 'chew' has almost never stopped since he came to Hogwarts.

During this time, he absorbed the magic of many people, even professors.

But he had never absorbed the magic power of Dumbledore and Snape.

John speculated that it was because the two of them possessed some kind of ability or magic that could prevent their emotions from being exposed and their magic power from leaking out.

And just now, when Snape gave him such a weird and solemn lecture for the first time in history, he also absorbed Snape's magic for the first time in history.

It's a bitter almond flavor.

Very powerful, even stronger than McGonagall and Professor Flitwick.

But, it’s also very bitter.

It's so painful that it's unforgettable, so painful that you can't help but want to go crazy, so painful that it goes on forever.

According to past experience, a person's magical flavor will reflect the other person's character and conduct to a great extent.

For example, Michelle's magic smell that is like a "sun-baked quilt" reflects Michelle's super affinity ability and lively personality like the sun to a certain extent.

Professor McGonagall's 'gingerbread-flavored' magic embodies her compliance with the rules and her hidden wildness.

So, what happened to Snape that caused his magic to suffer like this?

John couldn't think of an answer.

Facing Snape's cold yet somewhat expectant gaze, he could only nod vigorously and said:

"I understand."
