Hogwarts: Atypical Slytherin

"So, today is my labor day again?"

Snape's face stunk, as if he were facing slug soup. With a dark face, he carried Clooney to the bare, barren open space next to the valley.

"Miss Albert." His expression was full of dissatisfaction with having to work overtime during the holidays, "You said you wanted to practice apparation."

"That's right -" Clowney's eyes rolled around in his eyes, "But where is Mr. Dumbledore?"

"He - said - he - was busy." Snape obviously thought of something that made him more annoying than facing Clooney. "He is currently busy having afternoon tea with our new Minister of Magic. Woolen cloth."

"New appointment?" Cloney thought of the 'campaign bet' he bought in the Daily Prophet last year, "But wasn't it already announced last year?"

She still remembered that she spent several gold galleons. After all, among the candidates here, the only one who seemed to be innocent was poor Fudge - but many people at the time thought that the most promising candidate was Barty. Crouch, but Croney doesn't think so. Although the election of the Ministry of Magic does not look at the resumes of family members, people are not necessarily fools - his son's great achievements are still recorded in the public verdict of the Wizengamot. Even if he killed his relatives righteously, in Claudius' view Coming here is just a last resort.

What on earth has to happen in a family to raise a crazed child who takes pleasure in torturing others? (His son, Barty Crouch, had the same name, and he even tortured the Longbottoms with the Cruciatus Curse during the First Wizarding War.)

Crowney would rather have a fairy than this man elected as Minister for Magic.

As a result, this lavish spending actually made her a fortune - it seemed that there were indeed many fools, which made her memory of the Minister of Magic, who was not so popular, still fresh in her mind.

"Yes, yes." Snape replied perfunctorily, "But who wouldn't want to eat and talk more with Mr. Dumbledore, whom everyone expects to have——"

Clowney thought of the occasional articles urging Dumbledore to run for Minister of Magic.

"So the job of taking care of children can only be left to - poor -"

"I know! Professor!" Clooney shouted and interrupted him. She stopped thinking about the Ministry of Magic. "I will help after I finish studying today!"

"I didn't say that."

"It's my own free will!" she kept talking. "Both potions and herbalism require constant practice, Professor, you can't let the long vacation corrode my already empty brain. Oh my god, I beg you. !”

She looked at him sincerely: "Let me have this opportunity to work under the youngest Potions Master in this century!"

Snape's smile flashed: "Flattery."

"How can you say that!" Miss Flatterer exaggeratedly raised her tone, "I'm so sincere!"

Snape caught her chattering mouth and said, "That's enough."

"But he looks obviously very happy." Claudio complained in his heart. But he still felt a little smug, "Who can refuse a sincere compliment? Not even the cold-looking Snake King!"

Slytherin's snake king has always been in a rage since the beginning of this year. Compared with previous years, those who were disturbed by her seemed less like the evil spirit wandering Hogwarts with a hot temper. Pu seems to be back again. Although he took advantage of her as a matter of course after getting to know her, but starting from this school year, his initial stupor became more and more serious - and when he was alone, He also seemed much more sensitive than usual.

For example, when Clooney occasionally visits Pointer End, what he usually sees when he opens his eyes is the tip of Snape's wand ready to go and his very cold and serious expression - he looks a little nervous.

Even Clooney has never been like this - even though Voldemort took away many things from her, she was chased by this strong and urgent sense of oppression, but in the end she did not let this emotion spread to her daily life. . From time to time, Snape would enter a state where Occlumency was activated, which made Clooney a little worried - this professor was once a hero who participated in the first Wizarding War. Did the last war leave him any traces? What about deep shadows?

She had never faced Voldemort directly, but this little rat hiding in the sewers was spreading the plague. He was trying to steal her belongings secretly, which made her hate him so much. But neither Dumbledore nor Snape wanted to say more about that person, saying only that he was very strong, but they would take care of these things.

"But if they can handle it well." Her mind kept flashing back to Dumbledore's increasingly haggard face and Snape's increasingly closed and empty expression, "They wouldn't be so anxious."

Things in history books are, after all, in history books. Green died in her sleep. She could not touch them at all, and had no chance to fight against Voldemort. Professor Quirrell's death was silent, but Harry was still unharmed - although she hated Voldemort, she really couldn't feel the so-called fear he brought.

If these small details in life can bring him a little happiness. Clooney looked up at Snape's face. The man was giving him a questioning look: "I will try my best, Professor!"

"That's the best." Snape said lightly, "Now, tell me how much effort you put into this."

"Apparition refers to a spell that wizards cast to achieve the transformation of the spatial position of their own body or other bodies including their own body. Using this spell requires a qualification certificate - but the purpose is to protect the caster ."

"If an unqualified spell caster makes a mistake in casting a spell without supervision, he may suffer serious disintegration - such as his head leaving his body or something. If no one around him notices, the person may get stuck. Between the two spaces and then die."

Snape nodded.

"Usually -" she said, "this is what Mr. Dumbledore told me: the most important thing to remember when apparating is the three "Ds", namely Destination, Determination and Deliberation. ). When apparating, focus on your goal, be determined to occupy the space you want, and move calmly."

"What he said is correct," Snape added, "but this does not mean that you have to move calmly. He is talking about the content of the Apparition course."

"But in my opinion, the most important thing is the heart, Albert." Snape seemed a hundred times more patient than usual when teaching. "Magic is very focused on the heart. If a person is extremely nervous and pretends to be His movements are very leisurely, do you think he can cast spells normally?"

"If he forgets to use his magic," Crowney said, "that's not possible."

"Your article also said that wand magic is for guidance. In the most complicated situations, wand magic is the most direct and effective. As long as you don't forget to use magic, you can cast spells. I also I totally agree with this statement.”
