"Of course Slughorn won't let you go." Signus looked at Snape deliberately with sympathy: "When the time comes, you will have to sit with the most hated group of 'elites' in each academy, wasting Spend the night listening to the old guy bragging. How about it? Regret being in the limelight in Potions class all day?"

Snape looked calm: "Are you unhappy?"

Of course I'm not happy, Signus thought, but looking at Snape's indifferent look, he couldn't say such a matter of course.

What reason does he have to be unhappy?Snape gets along well with his classmates now, and is also liked by the professor, isn't it a good thing?This brat is a Slytherin, so he will naturally grow up in a Slytherin way. What position does he stand in to ask Snape to be different from most people, stay away from the vortex, and always be an isolated background board?

"Why are you unhappy?" Snape continued to ask, looking at him calmly, waiting for his answer.Signus opened his mouth, but finally he could only smile. "I hate Slughorn."

Snape raised his eyebrows, didn't go into details, and continued following his words: "I thought you hated potions."

"Both are annoying."

Silence spread between the two.Signus scratched his head, somewhat unable to bear the current atmosphere.He and Snape spent a lot of time talking to each other last semester, but the strange thing is that he had no pressure at that time, and he was able to get Snape's attention in various ways, but today's silence made him feel uncomfortable. Get out of here quickly and break the strange atmosphere.

He stood up abruptly, coughed deliberately and unnecessarily under the surprised eyes of the people around him, and said loudly, "I'm going out for a walk."

Lucius glanced this way: "There is a history of magic class in the afternoon."

Signus, who had just been poisoned by the history of magic all morning, looked even worse: "Please take a leave of absence."

It was not the first time Lucius had heard such words, so he didn't pay much attention to them. Signus hurriedly waved to Snape, and strode away from the restaurant, as if there was a troll chasing after him.

The corridors at noon were full of energetic and troublesome students. As soon as Signus came out, he saw a group of Gryffindor juniors walking over shoulder to shoulder. Sirius was among them, twisting his neck and joking with people , didn't notice him until reminded.

I don't know what happened to Sirius after a holiday, and Signus immediately turned cold when he saw his expression, and walked past him quickly, as if he didn't want to have any contact with him at all.The few Gryffindors who were left behind looked at each other, and quickly ran around the base of the wall for fear of being caught by him.

Signus was in a daze for a moment before remembering that he had just done a big event for the Dark Lord during the holidays.Although the Death Eaters did not disclose that he was the one who carried out that mission, there were many specious rumors. Many people heard that the person who carried out the mission on Christmas Eve was a student who had not yet graduated from a school who urgently needed to ask the Dark Lord. Prove your family.Adding these two pieces of information together, anyone with a brain can think of him.

The strange mood caused by Snape just now dissipated. Signus stood still and listened to the noise from the Gryffindor long table for a while. The irritable expression also cooled down.

Although he wanted to go out for a walk, Signus didn't know where he was going, so he just wandered around the castle aimlessly.Perhaps because of Sirius' interference, he walked and unknowingly came to the vicinity of the Gryffindor Tower. Fortunately, he changed his direction in time and turned to the Observatory at the last moment.

The Hogwarts castle is huge, and Signus didn't know how he walked this way. It must have taken a lot of time. Looking down from the top of the tower, the lower grades of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff had already Taking flying lessons.He leaned on the window sill and looked down, and saw a group of children riding brooms hovering at low altitude, the speed was so slow that it made people angry, and they were having a great time playing.

I don't know what Snape was like when he was taking flying lessons. Was he so stupid that he only dared to fly at low altitude?Or just put on a bad face and refuse to participate in such a "boring" sport?Signus unconsciously made up several versions of Slytherin flying lessons, and couldn't help but smile.

"The fifth grade Slytherin should be in the history of magic class now?" A familiar voice came from behind, interrupting the imagination in his head, and Signus turned around, and saw Dumbledore coming from the spiral staircase come up.His gaze paused for a moment on the other party's beard tied with a colorful bow, and he moved away as calmly as possible.

"I'm on leave." He said casually, put his hands in his trouser pockets unconsciously, turned his head away, showing a gesture of not being approachable.

However, Dumbledore didn't seem to notice his reaction. He walked to him naturally, looked in the direction he was looking at, and showed a loving smile: "Children are very energetic, right? I sometimes really I envy them, they can fly outside as much as they want."

The greatest white wizard of this century is by his side, less than one meter away. Signus felt uncomfortable, but he was unwilling to take a step back. He straightened his back and shrugged pretending to be relaxed: "Isn't it just playing with a broom, You can too."

"I'm already old, and I'm still the headmaster. The broom is only a means of transportation for me." Dumbledore sighed regretfully, and turned his gaze back to Signus: "I was good at playing Quidditch when I was in school. , but it’s far behind you.”

Signus twitched the corner of his mouth: "You are humble."

His perfunctory words made it impossible to ignore, Dumbledore glanced at him, and continued: "But my grades are the best in Gryffindor, basically O in every subject."

Signus was expressionless and had no interest in the headmaster's grades that year.However, before he could think of an excuse to leave, Dumbledore changed the subject: "OWL is coming soon, how are you preparing?"

Signus' casual expression froze, and he unconsciously remembered the notebook that Snape dropped on him this morning, and his head hurt even more.He didn't want Dumbledore to see his expression at this time, so he turned and looked out the window, and replied vaguely: "It's okay."

His answer was exactly the same as that of most students with poor grades over the past few decades, but other scumbags only perfunctory the teacher at the end of the semester, and they will still prepare carefully for exams like OWL, which are related to the future.Only Signus didn't feel that he was standing at an important crossroads in his life, he still went his own way, and the adults of the Black family didn't care about him.Dumbledore knew that it was not that the Blacks didn't care about their eldest son. On the contrary, they valued Signus the most among their three sons, but their requirements for their son had nothing to do with their grades.

Facing Signus with an indifferent face at this moment, Dumbledore acted as if he didn't know the situation of the Black family at all, and educated him as the headmaster: "You are still young and don't know the importance of OWL grades, I hope You know, in the UK, OWL points are lifelong for wizards, don't wait until the day you need it to regret it."

Dumbledore's expression was serious, and Signus just twitched the corner of his mouth, sneered, and did not speak.

"What? You don't agree?" Dumbledore asked.

Looking at his serious expression, Signus suddenly had the urge to say something, but in the end he restrained the untimely urge and just shook his head.

"Thank you for the reminder." He said lazily, and turned to leave.

"There are always many possibilities for things that haven't happened yet." Dumbledore raised his voice and said, "Black, you don't need to be too pessimistic."

Signus paused: "Maybe."

This time the response did not sound completely perfunctory, Dumbledore smiled, and asked again: "Do you still like the wizard chess game I gave Snape?"

Signus looked like he was having a headache: "That kind of thing doesn't suit me, but Regulus likes it quite a bit. He will probably become friends with Severus after he enrolls."

Dumbledore: "Half-bloods are not welcome in Slytherin. I am glad to see that you are willing to take care of him."

take care of?Signus couldn't help laughing at the memory of Snape's markedly improved relationships this term.Today, Snape no longer relied on his status as a friend of Black's heir to gain a foothold in the academy, and his talent for potions that he gradually showed was his true confidence.Even if no one takes care of him, he can live a good life by himself.

Thinking of this, Signus suddenly lost the interest in continuing to fight with Dumbledore, waved at Dumbledore, and left directly with some impoliteness.

Just as Signus thought, Snape had been getting very close to Benjamin recently, and even brought a few friends around Benjamin to get acquainted gradually.At the beginning, those few people only accepted Snape because of the attitude of the three major families, but it didn't take long for them to be conquered by his superb potion skills. Every time Professor Slughorn's class, they rushed to fight with him. Partner, so that he will never have the opportunity to take Potions class alone again.

Although Snape had a cold personality, he was not difficult to get along with. The first graders quickly got used to his silence, and found it quite comfortable to make friends with him.After all, he never cared whether his friends' etiquette was in line with his status, or whether his words were elegant.Of course, Snape also has flaws, such as Lily Evans, who has a good relationship with him in Gryffindor.

No one in Slytherin likes Lily, they hate Gryffindor, and they hate moose, so no one pays attention to what kind of person Lily is. Sometimes when they meet on the road, they just cast a very contemptuous glance, as if It would be demeaning to keep his eyes on her for an extra second.

Of course Snape knew what the Slytherins were thinking, but he said nothing.He knew he shouldn't do unnecessary things at such a time, otherwise Lily would stand out from the many "nasty Gryffindors", which would not be good for her.
