[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Chapter 74 Hogsmeade Weekend

I'm not like him, Snape thought, there's no question about that.

"As the head of Slytherin, you should be aware of the greatness of that lord." Seeing Slughorn's nervousness, Snape added viciously. "I suppose he doesn't want to see you go back on your word?"

There was no doubt that Snape's words heightened Slughorn's fears.The fat all over his body seemed to tremble for a moment, and he almost managed to maintain a smile uglier than crying to urge Snape to leave his warm and comfortable office.

"If, I mean, if my help must be needed, I think that as a professor, I should be responsible for providing certain instructions to my students. But, of course, all the magic I know is decent, and I can't help it. My character, there is no doubt about such things. Well, Mr. Snape, I think our conversation should stop here, no professor should occupy the time of students during the Christmas break, right?"

— It has to be said that in some respects Slughorn was more stupid than Snape could have imagined.He was even disappointed that the man had managed to be Head of Slytherin for so many years.

Even though Slughorn has admirable ability, respected status, property enough to provide him with a good life, and an amazing network that is enough to disdain the entire wizarding world, in Snape's view, he is in some On the other hand, he still looks very stupid and simple-minded, because he can't see the current situation clearly.

It was obviously impossible for someone like Slughorn to refuse the Dark Lord's request.Snape didn't understand how he had the courage to bargain with himself in the first place - maybe he thought being a Hogwarts professor was safe then?

"How can Slughorn be confident enough to think that he can stay out of the current situation, and even use this situation to his own advantage?" When Lucius Malfoy listened to Snape's After all the narration, I couldn't help but say it in a cheerful and joking tone. "He foolishly suggested to you that he wanted to get some benefits?"

Hearing what Lucius said, the corners of Snape's mouth twitched.It was rare for him to have a very similar idea to Lucius, although he didn't tell Lucius the whole thing.

He had concealed Professor Slughorn's desire for the Fertility Potion, something he didn't want anyone to know.Even back then, it never occurred to Snape to betray Jody and go to the Potters to help Slughorn get the recipe for the Fertility Potion.Later, he realized that if he could take the opportunity to completely make Slughorn give up this plan, let him give up the idea of ​​using the potion formula for the Potter family, it would be a very cost-effective thing.

"However, you did a good job, Severus, which surprised me. I thought you would refuse to deal with someone like Slughorn." Lucius reclined comfortably and gracefully on the sofa, taking a shower Facing the comfortingly warm winter sun, across the coffee table in front of him, he stared at Snape and smiled.After leaving school for nearly a year, this young man has completely lost the youthful taste of a student, and looks more mature, proud and more... sinister.

"If that's the case, I wouldn't agree to do it." Snape's lips curled up. "Slytherins never do anything beyond their control."

"Ah, to a fine Slytherin." Lucius drew out and raised his glass to Snape. "To our friendship."

Snape also raised the cup in front of him and drank it down, a blush appeared on his cheeks.

In fact, when Lucius Malfoy handed over the society to Regulus before graduation, Snape had obtained more substantive rights and enough important tasks in the society through the relationship of Malfoy's true friend ——to make Professor Slughorn agree to provide help to the society, such as some substantive guidance or the fact that the members of the society have been studying black magic in front of Dumbledore and other professors.Of course, it would be more ideal if he could be further "persuaded" to follow Voldemort.

The Malfoy family has reserved a room on the upper floor of the Three Broomsticks for a long time. Of course, it is the room with the best lighting, the most comfortable, and the most expensive.When Snape was in Hogsmeade on weekends, he would occasionally come here to meet Lucius. The meeting time was usually appointed by Lucius, and then notified to Snape through other people in Slytherin.

After offering quite a bit of direction for Snape's Yule Ball at their last meeting, Lucius had taken up Snape's post-Christmas weekend in Hogsmeade without a sense of guilt.He knew very well how much his master valued Professor Slughorn, so he was very concerned about Snape's progress.

In the case that the master was very satisfied with the successful establishment of the society before, if Professor Slughorn can be successfully attracted, Lucius does not think that the Bellatrix couple will be qualified to shake the Malfoy family, which is second to none among the Death Eaters. status.

And Snape's results are undoubtedly satisfactory. Slughorn underestimated the half-race boy in Slytherin, and made a mistake of promises and promises. When he found out that Snape was in the academy When the substantive status in China, it is already difficult to completely regret it.

"Severus, I'm sure I'm not mistaken." Lucius played with his cane gracefully.The head of the cane is uniquely carved in the shape of a snake's head, and the silver snake's head has a pair of beautiful eyes made of emeralds - he prepared this suitable place for his wand after graduation. Doubt's way of holding his wand silly all the time can't show the elegance and dignity of a Malfoy. "Okay, I believe you will be able to handle this matter properly, so let's talk about other things-how did you go at the Christmas ball this year? I believe that with Malfoy's guidance and help, you should get what you want ?”

"I don't think this question has anything to do with the great cause of the Dark Lord," said Snape's face as his back tensed immediately.

Lucius shook his head helplessly: "No, Severus, as your friend, I should naturally want to care about anything about you, especially if I provide help. Ah, don't want to Say? Then maybe, I can understand it this way-you are angry that I ruined a date that should have been there today?"

"I thought the married Mr. Malfoy had completely forgotten about this possibility." Snape said in a sarcastic tone. "It's a shame you didn't think of this before booking today's meeting."

Lucius let out a very reserved laugh, "Okay, then I will notice this in the future, after all, I don't want my friend to lose his love because of me, that would be too cruel."

Snape gave Lucius a hard look, "If there is nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Okay, I wish you all the best, Severus."

After Snape left, Lucius ordered another delicious lunch for himself, and ate it without haste.After the waitress took away the tableware and tidied up everything, he finally waited for today's second guest.

"Long time no see, Miss Potter." Lucius Malfoy stroked his snake-headed cane, smiled and got up to greet him.

Jody looked a little indifferent, but she still held out her hand and let Lucius kiss the back of her hand. "Lucius, long time no see."

"I didn't expect you to want to see me." Lucius sat down in full compliance with the gentleman's standards after Jody sat down. "I don't think Miss Potter asked me to meet for some boring things?"

"Of course." Jody nodded. "Actually, I know you should have been waiting for me to talk to you, haven't you?"

"Actually, I have always believed that Miss Potter will come to me one day." Lucius looked at his watch deliberately as if he was performing. "Fortunately, it's not too late. Some people can't wait. It's not a good idea to procrastinate at a time like this. Miss Potter, I think you understand the power of the Dark Lord better than anyone else. Since the Dark Lord has given If you follow his qualifications, then you have the qualifications to stand among the better group of people, instead of mixing with some lowly mudbloods. I regret that the Potter family has been confused about the current situation..."

"That's why I came to see you, Lucius." Jody interrupted Lucius, seeming very impatient with his chatter. "I know very well. Since I joined the club, it is impossible for me to be ignorant of your plan, even if you always seem to want to show that you don't want me to know so clearly. The reason why I didn't reveal it was because I was still There is no reason to stand with you...you guys."

"Now, you seem to have such a reason?" Lucius raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." When asked the reason, Jody was obviously not in a very happy mood. "This is a reason that you can't understand as an only child. A little trouble—for example, a family inheritance right? Of course, I don't I want to see the family from which I was born face ruin because of bad choices made."

"Perhaps, when you are in trouble, you can seek some closer and quicker help. For example, Severus?" Lucius smiled and narrowed his eyes, using this movement to cover up the temptation in his eyes . "You have to know that actually after I left school, there are quite a few things in our club that depend on him to assist Regulus."

Jody's eyes didn't change, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and there seemed to be some mockery in his voice. "I really didn't expect that Malfoy would be willing to entrust such an important matter to a half-blood?"

Lucius raised his head slightly, his light blond hair falling over his shoulders. "I thought Miss Potter had always valued this half-breed?"
