Hogwarts: Atypical Slytherin

"That cat's name is Mrs. Norris!" This Saturday, Harry and Ron came to the Great Lakes with Fred and George. After they introduced each other, the two young guys started chattering. Describing what he saw and heard during the week, he said, "She is so fat and scary! But she can still find us anytime and anywhere!"

These seniors obviously knew the inside story. Ron's two twin brothers began to laugh happily when they heard this, and the Hufflepuff seniors tilted their heads back hard when they heard this, and then glanced at Clooney's face from the corner of their eyes. Direction - At this time, she was touching the tip of her nose guiltily: Although everyone's relationship with Filch has never been very good, Cat is not wrong. While feeding Mr. Black, she would occasionally feed the poor kitten, which at first looked scrawny and had nothing to eat. But apparently her amount of exercise was too low, and this strange kitten preferred to eat starchy food - it was originally best for cats not to eat starchy food, so her body gradually swelled visibly to the naked eye. . This made her originally fast movements much slower, causing the Weasley brothers to escape from Filch's grasp many times. But it was rare that Filch didn't cause any trouble to Clowney because of this matter.

Although, after hearing Harry's description of Mrs. Norris, she decided to start restricting her diet! She silently cheered for her decision.

"Besides, I think our Potions teacher hates me. He's so cruel! And he's so unreasonable." Harry frowned and complained, "He's always gloomy, and in his class, for just a short period of time, We were deducted several points in just one class!”

"He does." Clooney acknowledged silently in his heart. Clooney and Cedric are regular partners in Potions class, and these two young people who are willing to delve into and help others drive the entire class, and even at certain times, they can respond to unexpected situations around them in time. Before it happens, be prepared to stop losses in advance. Snape's devilish roars are rare in the snake-badger class at this age, but this does not prevent Snape's reputation for terror from spreading within the school - especially Gryffindor.

The Weasley brothers had a hard time with Snape. Although these two naughty boys had very good grades, they were always lively and troubled by their inappropriate (at least in Snape's view) jokes. Lanfondo's points were all deducted. But in any case, this giant bat, which makes all the little animals in the school frightened, is one of her favorite teachers, and she decides to protect his already shaky reputation.

"Hmm!" She cleared her throat, "But - he doesn't hate you, Harry. He just doesn't want other houses to get too many points. Not just you, but other Gryffindor classmates often Points were deducted from them.”

"The other Gryffindors" pouted and shrugged upon hearing this.

"Although he looks fierce, he is very good to the students." At this point, Clooney felt a little unrealistic, but she soon became confident again, "And he is very busy, our school hospital He brews all the potions by himself. One person! Can you imagine? He is the youngest potions master in Europe."

Once people are given various names, their behavior will appear much more reasonable: "It's still acceptable for talented people to have some quirks, right?"

Harry felt that he was being brainwashed by her words. There was really no way to know the whole person in just two lessons, but he still couldn't accept Snape making things difficult for him in public.

Clooney recalled her first Potions class in the first grade: the distant Slytherin classmates, the trembling and silent classroom, and Snape's death question. She once imagined what would happen if She hadn't happened to answer Snape's questions about the consequences, but she knew now.

She shivered involuntarily, touched Harry's head, and then continued: "He is one of my favorite teachers, Harry. Although he has a bad attitude towards students other than Slytherin—— "

"That's right!" Ron nodded fiercely, obviously very satisfied with this description.

"But he is really good. If you prepare carefully before each class and perform well in class, he usually won't find trouble."

"perhaps?"

Cedric patted her, and then she continued: "If you don't understand anything, you can come and ask us. Lenny and I both have good grades in potions - occasionally thanks to her - He Chipachi can also add some points.”

After Cedric learned that Harry Potter was a friend that Claudius met by chance in the Muggle world, he also heard Claudius tell the story of their acquaintance. This upright and kind-hearted boy was quite sympathetic to Harry's experience: he could not imagine the pain of losing his parents and having to be beaten and scolded.

He patted Harry hard on the back: "Come on, boy!"

The next day, when Clooney went to Snape's office to help and drank Snape's exclusive magic stabilizer to consolidate the effects, she couldn't help but try to help Harry disperse some of Snape's Venomous tongue and firepower.

"You must not believe it, Professor." After the bitter medicine went into her throat, she stuck out her tongue while helping to pack and handle the herbs. "I actually met Harry Potter very early."

"Oh, I didn't know that the friendly Slytherin know-it-all actually knew our savior." His sharp eyes were immediately cast on her, and when he heard Harry's name, the corners of his mouth visibly turned down, and he Lawney also saw the left side of his face twitching uncontrollably, forming a sarcastic and disgusted smile.

He did seem to hate Harry - but why? Crowney was confused. Shouldn't the wizards welcome and woo this boy with a legendary experience who is called the savior? How could you be so disgusted with a child you never knew?

Although the gloomy Potions teacher seems to have a bad temper, his tone is indeed very soft during class - from this point, it can be seen that he is actually a relatively gentle person - at least in her opinion Come.

"What a coincidence, your foster home is right next door to my grandma's house." Clooney said tentatively, "He was having a very bad life at the time. When I met him, he was very thin and always had no food. Eating——has caused his stomach to still not feel well now.”

Snape stopped what he was doing: "Everyone said he had no worries about food and clothing."

"He did have enough food and clothing, but can you imagine that I didn't know there was a foster boy next door until I was eleven years old? His foster family didn't even want others to know he existed. When I met him It was winter, and he didn’t even have a pair of gloves of his own, and he always wore baggy, shabby, discarded clothes.”

"Before my dad communicated with his foster family, they even kept him in confinement and only gave him white soup every three days."

"I never thought that such a poor little boy from the Muggle world could be the so-called savior of the wizarding world."

Snape said nothing, but it was rare that he did not stop Clowney from chattering about something unrelated to his studies. However, Clooney still couldn't find a trace of the information she wanted from his empty face, so she had no choice but to finish the work at hand and say goodbye to him as usual.

The frequency of her magic stabilizer has been reduced a lot. Before leaving the Potions Professor's office, Snape told her that starting from next month, she can take one dose every half month. As long as she doesn't use excessive magic during this period, maybe it will take about half a year for her to be intact. back to those days.

The magic stabilizer was valuable, but Snape never asked her for any money. Although she and the professor went to the Forbidden Forest to collect some of the medicinal materials, the potion was brewed by him.

"I owe him a lot." She sighed silently in her heart.
