HP's Impassable Time

"Principal Dumbledore, I don't know why you called me out of the experiment, I hope this matter will not disappoint me, otherwise, your loyal potions professor may have

Little temper. "Snape straightened his clothes casually and said.

"Oh! Severus, you're here. You know that Professor McGonagall has some things to do. I should have been there, but the Minister of Magic just has a lot of things to talk to me about...well.... Dumbledore searched on the table for a while, took out a letter from among the many documents and handed it to Snape.

"Good day, Mr. Minister." Snape bowed slightly to the current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, and took the letter.

"Mr. Snape, the potion I mentioned last time..." Minister Fudge asked carefully after tidying up his clothes.

"It's ready, I'll bring it later."

"It's work."

"Okay! Gentlemen, we can continue the previous topic. Severus, I will leave this lady to you. You can smile more at ordinary times, especially when you are receiving new students." Dumbledore turned towards Snape blinked, looking like an old urchin in his usual white robes with stars and moons.

Snape left the headmaster's office without saying a word.

Most of the tasks of receiving new students are given to other professors, and he is rarely assigned by Dumbledore. Although there are occasional special cases, he saw Lily Morin written on the line of the envelope cover, The address line is very interesting, but it only goes to the street name and there is no more.

He believed that Dumbledore should have wanted to go himself, what happened to make Dumbledore stumble?

***

That street was not far from Spider's End. After Snape brought the potion to Fudge, he returned to his home in Spider's End by the fireplace.

"Clean it up." A thin layer of dust fell on the house.Snape took out Muggle-style clothes from a corner of the closet. It was a black formal suit, bought two years ago, to deal with some Muggle world affairs.

A little tight, Snape tugged on his collar uncomfortably, and pushed the door to go out.

He doesn't like Spider's End very much, this place always reminds him of bad things, every step and corner seems to have afterimages of one kind or another, if he doesn't know that he is a master of potions and Anyone who is extremely confident about their health must feel like they are suffering from some terrible mental illness.

He spent most of his time at Hogwarts, rarely visited here, but it was still home.

Walking on the streets full of Muggles, Snape was not used to it. He thought it was not only because it was awkward walking among Muggles, but even among wizards, his sense of awkwardness was not diminished in the slightest.Soon, he saw the familiar girl, who looked well-behaved, calm, and seemed to have some kind of magical power, making himself put aside all the incompatibility due to coming to the Muggle world.

"Sir, I remember you. Is there anything I can help you with?" Lily also noticed Snape. There were not many people on the street, but Snape's overall demeanor stood out among ordinary people.

"I have a letter from you here." Snape took the envelope from his jacket pocket and handed it to her.

"Thank you, sir." The envelope was not very thick, and when Lily saw the address written on the envelope, she said, "Huh? To Lily Morin wandering in the street? That's really not a good name, or you can call me hug Lily Morin with the cat, maybe I'd be happier." After speaking, she turned over the envelope and looked at the wax on it, "Sir, I like this pattern very much, it looks very beautiful as if there is some kind of magic." Lily explain.

The emblem of Hogwarts does have some ancient rune patterns, just to make it look more luxurious and elegant, and it has no practical effect.

"You can read the content of the letter, and I will help you solve the problems you encountered and bring back your answer to this letter."

"Okay sir, please sit down, I think I need some time to read this letter." Lily stretched out her hand as a gesture of invitation, Snape glanced at the public seat, sat down calmly, Lily also sat down Beside him, he began to read the contents of the letter, and he knew from Lily's cheerful expression that she was very happy.

The two figures, one big and one small, sat in a row, very harmonious.

After reading the letter, "Then I guess sir must not be the Professor McGonagall who wrote the letter, nor the Headmaster Dumbledore mentioned in the letter, but I think you should also be a professor—a professor of magic." ( Professor McGonagall's prefix is ​​Ms., and Lily doesn't think a headmaster would pick up students himself.)

"Yes, I will be your future Potions professor. Given some of your special circumstances, I think you may need some help from the school."

"Professor, you have helped me enough in just a few days, I really shouldn't bother you anymore."

"Are you rejecting me?" Snape raised his eyebrows and his tone became serious. His time was not wasted on people who didn't know what to do.

"Yes! I just don't want to cause trouble to others. You have helped me enough. You shouldn't be greedy, sir. I am very content." Lily said, stroking the cat's neck hair. The cat shook its head and throat Makes a comfortable grunt.

"Maybe you won't think so after reading the book list, come with me! These don't bother a potions master. Maybe you can do me a little favor when you get to my house, Miss Merlin, so that we don't talk to each other. I owe it." Snape stood up proudly and said.

"Thank you, Mr. Professor." Lily hesitated for a moment, but still accepted his suggestion.

Snape took Lily to Diagon Alley. The Leaky Cauldron was not the only entrance to Diagon Alley. Snape took Lily to a pet shop on a small road in London called the Golden Pet Shop. There are some signs hanging on it, which say that pets are accepted and that pets can be vaccinated.

The alley to the left of the store was a dead end, and there were two huge trash cans beside it. At the end of the road was a brick wall. Snape took out his wand and tapped lightly on the wall a few times, and saw the bricks on the wall. They separated in an orderly manner, and a lively alley appeared in front of them.

"Diagon Alley - the main shopping place for wizards, here is everything you need." Snape said as he led Lily into a clothing store, "You first measure the size of the clothes here, I have some things to deal with. "When Snape was talking, he looked out through the door and window and said suddenly as if he saw someone.

"Okay, Mr. Professor." Lily responded obediently.

It wasn't until Snape left for a while that it was her turn to take the measurement. The little wizard standing on the low stool in front of him seemed a little nervous, and he kept muttering something in a low voice, which Lily could hear clearly, "It's just a ruler, a ruler. , It’s okay, it’s okay.” Maybe he sensed that someone was looking at him, so he smiled at Lily, “Hello.” “Hello,” Lily replied politely.

Maybe seeing that Lily took care of him, he began to try to chat with Lily.

"Are you a freshman this year too?"

"Yes."

"Me too. My parents don't know magic, and it still feels a little unreal to me. What about you? Are your parents wizards?"

"I don't know, I haven't met my parents, maybe not!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention it, I... oh! I'm sorry." The boy was visibly more nervous.

"It's okay, you don't have to feel sorry for it," Lily said.

"It's your turn, sweetheart!" The lady who took the measurements told the boy that it was time to come down, and motioned for Lily to stand on the stool.

"My name is Henry Mike, just call me Henry, nice to meet you!"

"Lily Morin, you can call me Lily." Lily stood on a small stool and stretched out her arms, like Jesus hanging on the cross, letting the movable rulers swim around her body, and the lady next to her held a The quill pen records the information.

"Okay, I'm leaving, you know there's still a lot to buy, and my dad is worried that I won't be able to buy them all in one day," the boy said.

"See you at that school, classmate Henry." Lily nodded politely.

The measurements were quickly finished, and the lady said that she could just pick up the clothes in two hours.

But Snape still didn't come back, Lily had to wait for Snape here, so she could only stroll around the store.

It's shopping, but there's really nothing interesting about it, all the clothes are similar, if she wasn't careful, she wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between them, and all the clothes are the same color - black.

"Ma'am, I don't understand why all the clothes are the same? I hope this question doesn't offend you." Lily asked.

"Of course not, my little sweetheart. This is mainly for your new little wizards, including school uniforms for Hogwarts students of other grades. Of course, you can also customize some different ones, but those are not here, dear ’” replied the lady.

"Thank you, ma'am, for your answer," Lily said.

"Can we go?" Snape said to Lily when he came back.

"Yes sir, we can leave, the lady told me to come back in two hours to pick up the made-to-order clothes."

"Very well, sorry to trouble you, Ms. Wood, here are four gold Galleons." Snape handed over four gold coins.

"Professor Snape, only three are enough, and I can add a simple protective spell to my clothes." Ms. Wood said as she watched Snape receive the three Galleons. She knew the master of potions There is no shortage of Galleons, and it's not a good match.

Snape stopped talking, motioned Lily to follow, and the two left the clothing store, "I stopped by the bookstore just now, and the book will be delivered to my house tonight, now we will go to the wand shop to choose a wand for you, and then we will Going to pick some potions and other small things, and finally get the clothes and we can leave."

"Okay sir." Lily nodded, and changed her hand to hold the cat. Although the cat was very small, Lily still felt a little tired, and there were flowers in front of her eyes.

The door of the "Dingling" wand shop was pushed open. Fortunately, there were not many people in the shop, but the messy things in the shop were scattered all over the place. "Recover quickly." I saw everything fly back as if someone had pressed the playback button lost its original position.

"Amazing!" Lily commented.

After waiting for a while, after witnessing all kinds of explosions or strange unnatural phenomena, it was finally Lily's turn. Ollivander first tested the length of Lily's arms, and then found one in the pile of magic wands as high as a mountain. The wand, Lily held it in her hand, and the wand responded well.

"It's wonderful, the first one, it seems to fit, or... wait a minute." He went back to the mountain of wands again for a different one.

"Very suitable? This is not right." Lily looked at the well-responsive wand in her hand and was puzzled, while Ollivander murmured nervously.

"I don't quite understand," Lily looked at Snape with puzzled eyes, Snape didn't answer, but just looked at Lily with some scrutiny, or doubts.

"Where are you going?" The black mime who was staying on the table just now suddenly moved and got into the wand. Before Lily could stop it, it dragged out a box, and the three of them looked at the box together.

Ollivander picked up the box and said, "I haven't finished this wand yet, and I always feel like it's missing something, but since you took it out, girl, come and try it."

Lily took the wand, and the soft light radiated from Lily's body, making the person immersed in the light feel comfortable, and the mood was inexplicably much calmer.

"Oh! What it lacks is you, child. This wand lacks nothing but you, the user." Ollivander seemed to be dancing with excitement as if he had discovered some shocking secret.

"I think our schedule today is a little tight. If it's convenient, we have to go." Snape interrupted Ollivander's wordiness.

"Okay! Okay! A total of seven Galleons." Ollivander wrote down something in the notebook on his desk, Snape paid the bill and left with Lily.
