[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Facing Malfoy who suddenly appeared in front of him, Snape's arm hanging by his side tensed subconsciously, and his hand hidden in the sleeve of his robe tightly clenched his wand.

Snape didn't want to make an enemy of someone like Lucius Malfoy if he could.But given that Malfoy, as a prefect, had previously ignored Avery and others' actions against Snape, his sudden appearance at this time had to make Snape secretly wary.

Seeing Snape's vigilance and vigilance, the smile on Lucius' lips deepened a bit: "Very well, the vigilance is very high, much better than those idiots tonight. No wonder those guys won Your trap. They underestimate you."

Snape pursed his lips tightly, not complacent about Lucius' affirmation.

The sensitive Snape had already noticed the weird atmosphere among the students when he returned to the common room. After realizing that his trap had played its due effect, he even felt the joy of elation.

Of course, Snape would not tell Lily or Jody about the embarrassment of being kicked out of the dormitory just after entering school, but he never intended to just swallow it like this.He knew that those guys would come to trouble him sooner or later, and he just needed such an opportunity, a chance to turn things around in one fell swoop so that no one would dare to trouble him again.

In the end, Snape chose tonight.The only reason he didn't mind getting out about being a new member of the Slug Club was because he knew that Professor Slughorn's invitation would make those stupid people do even stupider things, and that's exactly what happened. It was the moment he had been waiting for.Before going to the Slug Club party, he cast almost all the jinxes he could use in this situation in the room, and quite a few of these spells were obviously not for an 11-year-old wizard to cast on him. No matter what reason he has.

At that time, Snape was only immersed in the pleasure of imagining the success of revenge, but now that Malfoy's appearance made Snape start to reflect on whether his plan was too careless and reckless—he thought that Malfoy would be the same as before, Ignore the private disputes of these students.

He realized that although what happened tonight made everyone afraid to provoke him again, it was also very unfavorable to him.Maybe he'd be severely punished for it, or worse, fired?

"What happened tonight..." Snape looked at Malfoy with probing eyes, trying to confirm his intention to find him.Although Snape was confident that the jinx he had mastered could deal with most fools, he was not yet fully sure that he could use it against Malfoy who could become a prefect.Therefore, as long as the other party didn't take the initiative to attack, Snape didn't intend to resort to any tough measures to solve the problem recklessly.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to ask questions." Lucius knew very well what concerns Snape would have at this time. "As for what happened in the boys' dormitory today, what spells and potions you used on your classmates, I will not report to any professor or... the principal. As for Avery and the others... people always have to Pay for your stupidity and arrogance, don't you?"

Snape's eyes flickered, but his expression didn't change because of Lucius' words.He felt that there seemed to be more to Lucius' words, so he observed Malfoy's expression and movements, and tried to remain calm and calm so that he would not lose this confrontation without a fight.He was suddenly thankful that all wizard robes had long and fat sleeves, which could cover the only part of his true mood at this moment: the hand that was always holding the wand tightly.

While Snape was watching Malfoy, Malfoy was watching Snape.

What happened in the boys' dormitory tonight is actually not unrelated to Lucius' previous connivance.He knew that those noble-blooded but stupid-minded guys were eyeing this mixed-race boy, but he deliberately ignored it, and even used Bellatrix's deterrent power to the students to secretly fuel the flames.

Like Snape, Lucius was waiting for the right moment.But the timing he was looking for was one that would allow him to take Snape under his wing.At that time, this half-breed Slytherin will have to rely on the protection of the Malfoy family, just like Crabbe and Goyle in the past.

Thanks to the help of the Malfoy family, almost no one noticed that Crabbe and Goyle's family was not a particularly ancient and pure blood family.Now they almost obey Lucius, because thanks to Lucius, they were quickly accepted and recognized by Slytherin.Lucius believed that he could use the same means to bring Snape under his command, and Snape's lack of background would make him more obedient to the Malfoys.

Everything was within Lucius' expectations, but it wasn't until tonight's incident that he realized that he underestimated Snape just like those guys he regarded as idiots.The instant relief he had expected didn't happen, and Snape managed to frighten all the Slytherins with his own power without his attention.

Lucius had no doubt that starting tomorrow, no one in the entire Slytherin would dare to offend Snape again.Therefore, he had to take action tonight, offering a friendly hand before Snape had enough confidence to deal with this matter.He only needed to comfort the boy a little bit, and use a few meaningless promises—of course he would not put such a potential student in danger of being expelled—to gain the boy's trust and gratitude.

Lucius thought that his words would make the little guy feel grateful, and Snape did express his gratitude, but his gratitude was dry, without any change in emotion. "Thank you very much, Mr. Malfoy."

"You are welcome. In view of your excellent performance today, I, Lucius Malfoy, allow you to be my friend, Severus Snape." Lucius raised his head arrogantly, looking down at the thin brunette boy.Greasy hair, a big nose, and the cheapest uniform robe, no matter what, Lucius felt that he could not accept such a person as his friend.Despite the thought in Lucius' mind, he still offered his hand to Snape.

Snape raised his eyebrows, not ignoring the contempt in Lucius' eyes.Because of his height, he had to accept Lucius Malfoy's looking down, but because of the distance between him and Lucius, he at least didn't have to look up at the arrogant teenager like a poor wretch. He is a little better.

"Snape, you should be able to understand what I mean. Be my friend, attach to me, follow me, I will give you the respect and protection you deserve, and let you integrate into this academy as quickly as possible, and become a A real Slytherin..." Snape's silence made Lucius's slow, seductive invitation all the more urgent. "Because you become my friend, you don't need to worry about today's little troubles anymore."

"If I understand correctly, what Mr. Malfoy means is that he hopes that I will always be by your side and obey your orders in exchange for your protection, so that I can blend into Slytherin, just like...Kara beside you Like Boo and Goyle?" Snape's voice slipped from his lips softly, but there was a hint of sarcasm obviously. "Mr. Malfoy, if that's how you always treat your friends, then I can only regretfully say no. I don't think that following a prefect as a squire is the quickest and most effective way to become a true Slytherin." .”

"Oh?" Lucius didn't expect the always taciturn Snape to be so sharp, and couldn't help but be taken aback.The way he had just thrown himself into Snape's lack of appreciation made his usual haughty smile look a bit stiff.He frowned, and impatiently twirled the wand in his hand, "Snape, you have to know that not everyone can be friends with Malfoy. I need to remind you that what you rejected is what many people could only wish for." glory."

"Mr. Malfoy, what you just said is very applicable to yourself right now." The corner of Snape's mouth twitched strangely. "My mother who was also born in Slytherin once told me that for a real Slytherin, strength is the only criterion that determines whether they can gain a foothold in the academy, and the reason for a Slytherin to surrender, Also only overwhelming strength. You see, if I were to 'disarm you' now, you wouldn't be able to fight back in time."

Lucius' face instantly turned livid.He knew what Snape was referring to.He just said that people always have to pay the price for their stupidity and arrogance, but he didn't learn the lesson.He always believed that Snape could not attack him, but this was not a reason for him to relax his vigilance.On the contrary, Snape was always cautious and never careless.Therefore, from this point of view, Snape did not have any reason to choose to submit to Malfoy.

"Excuse me for saying good night first, Mr. Malfoy." After saying this, Snape completely ignored Lucius, opened his door, and walked in.

Lucius watched as Snape closed the door in front of him, shut him out, and had no intention of opening the door again to invite him in, finally had to admit that his plan It has been a total failure.

Looking back now, he should have realized that something was wrong with his plan, and that was that Severus Snape wasn't as isolated as he'd hoped.Snape had a mudblood friend Lily, and was lucky enough to get the friendship of Jody Potter from the same college.Therefore, he was not flattered by the friendship that Malfoy offered to send to his door.

Moreover, what happened tonight has proved that Snape's mind and the ability he displayed are not only far superior to Crabbe and Goyle, but also beyond Lucius' expectations—Professor Slughorn's ability to see people His vision was as accurate and sharp as ever.

But in the face of such a clever Snape, he exposed his hole cards prematurely, and made it clear to Snape that he did not intend to hand over this matter to the teachers.Of course, now Lucius could still choose to report, and he could even use his status as the school manager of the Malfoy family to drive Snape out of the school.But if he does that, it will destroy the principle of Slytherin's supremacy. When facing other Slytherins, his prestige as a prefect will be wiped out, and his ambitious plans will also be affected. .

... This hateful half-breed boy!

That night, Lucius lay resentful on the bed, staring at the gorgeous curtains on top of the four-poster bed, unable to sleep no matter what.Reflecting on Snape's words, he suddenly recalled the advice of his father Abrex that he had almost forgotten:

"Lucius, you have to remember that for this world, especially for us Slytherins, only strength can determine the attribution of truth, only strength. Strength gave Malfoy the capital to be arrogant and rude in front of others— —”

The elder Malfoy warned his son meaningfully: "—but in contrast, sometimes, it is necessary to give in."

Lucius finally chose to hold back the breath.
