HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

Draco Malfoy still wanted to be a Potions professor, and after listening to his career plan, Snape was rarely speechless.

He didn't make a career plan for himself. After making a career plan for himself, he also made a long-term career plan for me.

"I think my career plan is pretty good, don't you think? Likolis will be the headmaster, and I'll be the Potions professor. Professor, go ask Liko for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor position, she'll definitely approve it." Facing the empty eyes of his dean, Draco Malfoy continued confidently, "Professor, if you don't want to be a teacher and want to retire, you can do something else. What do you think of opening a potion shop in Diagon Alley? I really think it's a good idea."

"Professor, you can focus on selling beauty and hair products, such as radiant potions." Draco paused, thinking of his father, "If nothing else, my father will definitely buy it, no matter how expensive it is."

Snape also extracted some useful points from Draco's nonsense, but he did not ask directly. Instead, he said, "You come to be the Potions professor, or I will give you the position of Slytherin Headmaster?"

"The Dean's position? Will you give it to me?" Draco looked at the professor in surprise. I said that the Dean loved me the most. "That would be great. I can deduct Gryffindor's points openly."

……

Is that how he talks to my daughter too?

Snape felt that there was no need to use Occlumency in front of him, and it was really easy to get along with him.

He was so naive that he didn't even notice my sarcasm and thought it was a suggestion.

"How do you know that Lycoris wants to be the headmaster?" Snape led the topic subtly without any need for preambles.

"Because if I'm a professor and she becomes the headmaster of Hogwarts, Gryffindor will never get the house cup."

This answer doesn’t feel quite right. My daughter wouldn’t say that.

Snape continued, "Did Lycoris tell you?"

"She has been asking Professor McGonagall questions a lot recently. I asked her why, and she said that if she wanted to become the headmistress in the future, she would need the consent of the previous headmistress. She would first establish a good relationship with the vice-headmistress, and then she could become the vice-headmistress first."

I got an answer that seemed to confirm what Licorice had said before.

Snape spoke up, "When did she tell you she wanted to be deputy headmaster?"

"It's been almost a year since I found out about the OWLs exam." Draco thought for a moment and added, "I feel like Liko should have no problem taking the OWLs exam."

You don't need to feel anything, there is nothing wrong with her.

If she didn't have to wait until she finished her OWLs exam, then...

Snape lowered his eyes and did not look at Draco Malfoy.

"Professor, if Potter stays in school to teach Hogwarts' flying class, will he give Gryffindor extra points?" Draco thought about this scene and pouted, "The flying class is only for one year. Extra points can't save Gryffindor's scorer. He will definitely not give up."

Suddenly thinking of something, Draco became excited, "Potter might compete with you, the Dean, for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class!"

"From what I understand, he's going to be an Auror." Snape stopped his rich imagination from going any further and asked, "Why do you think I'll retire?"

Professors at Hogwarts do retire, but they are usually unable to continue their duties due to age or injury.

He certainly had his own ideas for the arrangement, but the question was who influenced his thinking given his simple way of thinking.

Snape wondered if the mysterious man had said something in his house that had a subtle influence on him.

"Professor, you have been applying for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for so many years. You must like it very much. Lycoris is the principal now, she will definitely let you pass." Draco said, "But you are always working. Don't you have something you want to do? If you don't want to be a professor, of course you should retire."

This reason was very pure and was something Snape had never thought of.

"Take these flyers back and have a look at them yourself." Snape picked up a few brochures on how to get a job at Hogwarts and sent him away.

"Headmaster," Draco walked out, still poking his head into the light blond hair, "We agreed that you would leave the position of Headmaster of Slytherin to me."

"Wait until you pass Potions in your OWLs exam. Mr. Malfoy shouldn't get anything other than an 'O'."

The professor's tone sounded like my father, and the fear of being dominated by his parents made Draco shrink his head.

"Send Mr. Theodore Nott."

This child was completely different from Draco, and looked at him with heavy eyes.

Snape said, "Tell me about your future career plans."

"Dean, I plan to be an alchemist." Nott chose this for a reason. He took the initiative to speak without waiting for the professor to ask, "I want to make a different time converter and go see my mother."

His words moved Snape a little, and he said, "Just looking at it, not wanting to change it?"

"I want to change," Theodore nodded, "I want to know if my mother regrets giving birth to me."

Snape thought of his own mother, would she regret it?

Theodore Nott suddenly stood up, looked at him and said, "Dean, my father is a Death Eater, you should know that, right?"

Of course Snape knew about it. Not only did he know about it, he had also seen it at a gathering of mysterious men.

"I know." Snape looked at him. "What do you want to say?"

"Professor, do you know why he joined the Death Eaters?" Nott's voice trembled a little. He looked at the former head of the Death Eaters in front of him, "Because he wanted to resurrect my mother. Isn't it ridiculous?"

“…”Not funny.

If possible, wouldn't Severus Snape want to resurrect Lily?

He didn't answer me, just like Lycoris.

The last time I talked about this was with Licorice at my own manor.

At that time, it was to show weakness and pity, but it was obvious that Licorice did not have that kind of sympathy.

She stuffed a cup handle into herself so she could drink water.

This time, he was testing the professor's views on the Death Eaters and his own identity.

Nott asked Professor Snape, "Professor, do you think I can succeed? Become a master alchemist and create a time converter that can travel through more than ten years."

"Perhaps." Snape took out a few instructional pamphlets related to the "Master Alchemist" profession from the pile of colorful papers in front of him and pushed them to the other end of the desk. "Go back and take a look yourself."

"Okay, thank you, Professor." Nott picked up the booklet and nodded goodbye. "Professor, I'm leaving first."

"Send Miss Pansy Parkinson over here."

Nott responded, "Yes Professor."

"Theodore." A voice came from behind Nott. He stopped and looked back at the dean.

"I think your mother should not regret it."
