However, things will not develop as smoothly as he hoped, Hogwarts is so big, it is impossible for Slytherin and Gryffindor to avoid each other completely, conflicts may happen every day.On a sunny afternoon, Snape walked to the door of the Potions classroom with several first-year Slytherins, just in time to meet Potter and the others who were oncoming.

If it was normal, when both sides were crowded, they might roll their eyes at each other and walk around.However, today Lily is also with Potter and the others. Her presence makes Potter a male lion who can't wait to show off his strength. Seeing Snape is as excited as seeing prey, and he is excited from a long distance away. shouted: "Look, isn't that a Slytherin snot!"

His voice was too loud, and the students in the corridor basically heard this very unfriendly address.Lily pushed him warningly: "How many times have I told you, don't call Severus like that."

Potter looked disapproving, and approached Lily with a smile: "How can this be my fault? It's his own strange name."

This wasn't the first time Potter had called someone a nickname, so it wasn't considered a big deal.Lily's angry stare was also understood by him as a kind of attention to be enjoyed.Snape glanced at him, and didn't want to pay attention to such a childish provocation, but the Gryffindors were standing at the door of the classroom, so he couldn't avoid it at all.

He frowned, before deciding how to fight back, Lily's voice sounded again.

"It's not humorous at all to call your classmates nicknames, it will only make you look low-level." The girl looked serious, and Potter finally realized that Lily was really angry, and quickly coaxed: "Don't be so serious, just make a joke." It's just a joke."

"But it's not funny at all!"

"It's not fair, why do you turn to him every time!"

"Because you are the one who bullies people every time!"

Seeing them quarreling at the door, Benjamin sighed, walked out from among the Slytherins, cleared his throat and said loudly: "Can you move your place, do you have to stand at the door and argue?"

"It's none of your business, Slytherin!" Sirius said mockingly.Benjamin looked at him in surprise, because the disgust in Sirius' tone was even more exaggerated than that of any Gryffindor, as if he had some deep hatred with Slytherin.

However, Benjamin didn't think there was anything worth noting about the second son of Blake who had already been expelled from the house. He casually raised his chin and pointed to the door: "You are blocking the way."

"I'm so sorry." Lily said immediately after noticing the movement next to her.However, Slytherin was not willing to accept such an asshole apology, and someone sneered, "Miss Evans, stop putting on a show here."

"What do you mean?" Remus Lupine, who had never had any sense of presence, frowned and asked.

"What do you mean?" The Slytherin laughed. "If it weren't for this mudblood, we wouldn't be stuck here at all. If she is willing to hurry into the classroom, I guarantee that Potter will obediently follow behind her ass like a dog." Leave, there's no need to argue. The show is boring."

"Who are you calling a Mudblood!" Potter drew out his wand angrily, and pointed at the Slytherins.

Benjamin made a look of surrender and fear, but smiled on his face, raised his eyebrows and said, "Strange, he doesn't seem to think there is anything wrong with the dog metaphor."

"I think it's because he thinks it fits himself."

"Puppy Potter, haha!"

The Slytherins laughed, and even Snape, who rarely showed any expression on weekdays, raised the corners of his mouth.He wasn't one for lip service, but that didn't mean he didn't like Potter being laughed at in return.

There was laughter in the corridor, and several passing Ravenclaws looked over, and Sirius heard them wondering "what dog".

Brother is being ridiculed, how can he bear it!Sirius pulled out his wand suddenly in anger, and shouted at Benjamin: "Furchish!"

Snape was the first to react. He pulled Benjamin to his side, drew out his wand at the same time, and countered a tripping curse at Potter.Benjamin staggered, then joined the fray, and then the other Slytherin and Gryffindor first-year militants all left, and the corridor quickly became chaotic.

"God! Stop it!" Lily shouted in despair, but at this time no one could hear what she was saying.The Slytherin girl who was watching calmly glanced at her and smiled contemptuously: "God? Your God can't help you here."

Lily glared at her: "Are you still in the mood to fight? The school stipulates that fighting in the corridor is not allowed, they must stop."

The other party looked her up and down, as if seeing some rare creature: "I heard that right, when did Gryffindor know the school rules?"

A spell came out of the ring and flew straight towards Lily, and the Gryffindor girl who was with her noticed it in time and blocked it back.

"It's dangerous." The Slytherin girl said insincerely, "Be careful, Miss Evans."

"Let's go to Professor Slughorn!" Lily finally ran out of patience, dragged her friend away, and rushed to the Potions Professor's office.The Slytherin girl shrugged, still unimpressed, and didn't feel the need to hold back from the Headmaster's imminent arrival.

Two minutes later, Lily hurried over with Slughorn, the middle-aged man with a big belly was dragged left and right, struggling to adjust the hat he didn't have time to put on, and panting, he advised Lily not to worry .

There was still scuffle in the corridor, and Slughorn easily separated the freshmen from the two colleges, criticized them, and asked them to go into the classroom immediately to prepare the potion materials for class.

"You don't deduct their points?" Lily asked in disbelief, not understanding how the professor could simply expose such a serious group fight.

Slughorn was also surprised. He didn't expect that there were still students expecting their college to be deducted points.He glanced at Lily's serious expression, and said gently: "If you are still in the senior grades and still act like this, I will definitely deduct everyone's points severely, but you are only in the first grade, so there is no need to be too strict."

"But the professor..."

"Okay, Miss Evans, thank you for your timely notification today. Come on in, class is about to start." Slughorn gently pushed Lily into the classroom, and then strode up to the podium, obviously not Take what she has to say seriously.

Lily wanted to chase after her, but she was disappointed when she saw that there were students in the front row asking Slughorn for advice with their homework.She looked over to the Slytherin side, Snape was sitting with Benjamin today, the two boys were getting together to sort out the materials at the moment, and they cooperated quite tacitly.

The two of them had a tacit understanding when they were fighting, Lily thought, while angry that Snape was fighting with people in the corridor like Potter and the others, and at the same time happy that he finally had a friend who was willing to defend him.Snape didn't seem to have changed much, he was expressionless all the time, but before he knew it, he was no longer the little transparent person he was when he first entered school.Lily could see that it was no longer because of Black that Slytherin wanted to befriend him, but because of Snape himself.

Lily didn't hide her gaze, and soon someone from Slytherin noticed her.She saw the boy in the row ahead of Snape turn his head and say something to him, and then Snape looked up at her.Lily smiled brightly and waved to him, but Snape didn't respond at all, he lowered his head indifferently and continued to process the materials.

"Okay, it's time for class." On the podium, Slughorn knocked on the blackboard to remind the students loudly.Lily had no choice but to clean up her lost mood and listen to the class seriously.

The "little friction" before potions class during the day quickly spread throughout Hogwarts Castle. Professor McGonagall gently reminded Professor Slughorn during dinner that his attitude towards children was too relaxed, and he couldn't help it. to the role of teaching rules.As a result, Slughorn easily dealt with it with Dumbledore's argument that children should be lively, and successfully dragged Dumbledore into the water and helped him resist Professor McGonagall.

At the Slytherin table, the first graders were showing off today's record with their brothers and sisters, telling how they beat Gryffindor "all over the place" without deducting a point.Of course, there must be a lot of exaggeration in this, and Gryffindor is not the only one who secretly went to the infirmary to get the potion in the afternoon.

Signus rested his chin on one hand, and listened casually to how Benjamin described Porter as a brainless fool in front of Collison.He noticed the stupid kid sneak a look at him, then leaned into Corrisen's ear and continued to whisper, which Signus guessed must be speaking ill of Sirius.

He glanced over to Gryffindor, where Sirius was joking with the Lupine, and Potter sat beside him, stretching his neck to talk to Lily Evans.But the little girl still seemed angry with him and kept her back to him.

"Are you watching Sirius Black?"

"What?" Signus reacted a little slower and turned around in a daze.

"You stupid brother." The first grade beside him poked the steak on the plate with a fork, and said extremely dissatisfied: "This afternoon is like crazy."

Signus smiled: "Sorry, he probably has some opinions on me."

Snape raised his eyebrows: "I remember he admired you."

Signus sighed. "That was before Christmas."

What's different now?Snape opened his mouth, suddenly remembered what happened on Christmas Eve, and gave up this unnecessary question again.

"He will probably go further and further away from the Black family in the future." Signus said, "It's nothing. It's strange that there are no rebels in the Black family."

Snape didn't speak, and he didn't know why Signus was talking to himself. What did Sirius and Black's problems have to do with him?

"The Black family has the position of the Black family, but Sirius has his own insistence. We can't get along." Signus continued, pointing to Gryffindor: "And wait until you really become Slater." As a member of Lin, you and Miss Evans can only become strangers if you gain the friendship of Malfoy and Zabini."

Snape nodded, "I've thought about it."

Signus looked at him sideways, seemingly casually: "You have ambitions, I understand, there is no Slytherin without ambitions, but are you sure you know what you want? You can actually continue to be a lone traveler, With me here, no one can bully you, and you and Miss Evans are still good friends."

Snape couldn't help laughing: "First of all, I have to thank you for being so considerate of me, but I'm afraid I don't need your kindness. I always know what I want."

Signus frowned: "Actually, you don't have to..."

"Okay." Snape waved his hand, interrupting his unfinished words: "I'm not your younger brothers, and I don't need to live under your protection forever."

But I am not a good person who meddles in other people's affairs, and I want to protect everyone I see.Signus thought feebly, can't there be one person in the entire Slytherin who stays away from the center of the vortex?

After the group fight that day, the first graders of Gryffindor were collectively punished by Professor McGonagall for copying the school rules. In order to be fair, Professor Slughorn also asked the first graders of Slytherin to spend one night to help him deal with it. The ingredients for potion are considered to have punished them.

The OWL was approaching day by day, and Lucius and Snape finally watched Signus and started the painful review, facing various textbooks every day, and spent every day dizzy and dizzy.

Snape had already learned the contents of the third grade of theoretical courses like History of Magic by himself. If OWL only needed to pass the exam, his notes would be enough.Practical classes such as herbalism were unreliable in the first grade. Signus couldn't understand Lucius' notes at all, so he just flipped through them casually and threw them aside.In the end it was Snape who taught himself from the notes before explaining it to Signus.

In order to help him with his revision, Snape spent most of his time with him in the library or dormitory.Lucius joked that Signus, a fifth grader, needed tutoring from the first grader. Signus didn't feel ashamed at all, and only complained when he got annoyed.

"I don't need OWL grades." Whenever he said that, Snape didn't seem to hear.Sometimes Lucius thought there was no need to bother about Signus' grades, but Snape still insisted.

He couldn't tell what he was insisting on, but he didn't want to see Signus prematurely condemning his future to death.Who knows what will happen in the future, why should he swear that he will never use OWL results.
