Chapter 12, the first encounter... that shiny look familiar

"Good day ma'am."

"Good day."

"Going to Diagon Alley? What can I do for you?"

"Yes, no need."

Severus looked at Irene who looked like a different person as soon as she walked into this broken bar. He cautiously did not express any doubts, but quietly pressed Sanciville Lit's head into his pocket.

Following Erin to the back door of the bar, Severus saw nothing but a wall and a few trash cans.

"Remember here, Severus." Irene took out her wand and tapped a few places on the wall, and a surprising thing happened. The brick wall shrank to the sides as if it had life, and finally formed An arch.

"Welcome to Diagon Alley." Irene said dryly, as if this was not a welcome word but a task.

It was the first time that the magical magical world was presented to Severus in this way.

People in wizard robes and strange hats walk around, as if they have returned to 1000 years ago.The little wizards were fighting in the crowd, screaming from time to time.

"Look, that's a Comet 1970, I'm going to ask my dad to buy me one."

"Lizard livers cost twelve Sickles a dozen."

"Ox stationery store, your best choice."

"Oh man, it's good to see you here, how about a Firewhiskey?"

"Don't make trouble, Alfred, I have to go to Gringotts first, you stay here obediently."

………………

Severus felt that his eyes were not enough, and he looked around greedily, but he didn't notice that he was suddenly bumped by a black and gray haired boy.

"Hey, boy, get out of the way." The well-dressed boy villain complained first, raised his eyebrows and said, "A Muggle? You..." Suddenly his eyes lit up and he looked at Severus with a flying expression.Severus found his gaze extremely disrespectful.

"Sirius, come here!" A noble lady not far away shouted sharply, and beside her was a boy who looked very similar to this boy, but was smaller.

"Okay, Mom." The boy reluctantly left.

"Hmph, no matter where you go, idiots are indispensable." Severus tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Sanciville Lit crawled from a hole above the pocket to the position she was accustomed to along the front of the shirt, and saw a small bump from the boy's clothes up to the collar, and then a The little head poked out carefully.

"Severus, go over there." Sansiveret said softly.

"Sanxiville, don't show your head." Severus gently pressed Sansevier's head, making Sansevier shrink back a little.

Following Sancivillier's words, Severus walked to an unnoticed place at the entrance of an alley.Sansevieret stretched out an arm, and a few golden particles flew out and landed on the boy. Suddenly, the clothes on the boy changed into another ordinary style—the robe style of a little wizard.

"You let me hide here just to change clothes like a fool?" Severus said and walked out, but touched the clothes on his body curiously.

"No way," Sansiveret, who couldn't see Severus's expression, pouted, "Don't you like to look different?"

"Hmph." Severus didn't retort.

"Severus!" Irene suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, "Don't run around, follow me." She said angrily, she was terrified when she found out that Severus was missing just now, for a little wizard For him, Diagon Alley is not as safe as imagined.

"Let's go to the potion store first."

"Okay, Mom."

Erin led Severus into the largest potions shop.

"Welcome, ma'am... Oh, Merlin, you are Ai..."

"Good day, Mr. We need to buy some potion ingredients."

"...Oh, yes, of course, can you go inside and talk? Melles, Melles, come out and look at the store."

"Ok."

Irene turned to Severus: "Severus, can you just take a look in the store? Don't go out."

Severus was frantically looking at all kinds of materials, "Okay, Mom." He said without looking up, and then picked up a handful of cat ear grass and looked at it carefully.

While the two were talking, the clerk stood aside and kept rubbing his hands.

"That old man is weird, and so is Irene's mother." Sancivillier whispered into Severus' chest.

"Hmph, leave them alone." Severus had a vague guess in his mind, "Look at this, and this, why is it different?"

"Oh, this is barbarbar..." Sansiveret was distracted for a while, and began to teach Severus the difference of various materials seriously.

According to Sansevieret's teaching, Severus selected several necessary and several magic materials for cover, each of which was not in large quantities, but carefully selected the best ones.

"Hello, sir."

Suddenly a voice came from behind Severus.Severus turned his head, feeling as if a 50W light bulb suddenly lit up in front of his eyes, he squinted his eyes to see clearly that it was not a light bulb, but a shining head.

Lucius Malfoy came out on leave today. When he first saw this little wizard in Muggle clothes on the street, Lucius didn't pay much attention to him, but felt a little strange at this time (no By the time the school starts) there are little Muggle wizards appearing in Diagon Alley.

But the moment he looked away just now, the little wizard changed his clothes into a different shape.Although it still looks old and cheap, the style has completely changed into a wizard's robe.

The perfect transfiguration, Lucius admired in his heart.Lucius wouldn't have been so surprised if it had been done by a good third year student, but, that boy, a Muggle coming to Diagon Alley for the first time (see the wonder in his eyes Know) A little wizard who is not yet old enough to buy a wand, actually cast a perfect transfiguration on his clothes?Unbeknownst to Lucius, it wasn't actually Severus who did it himself.

When Lucius saw the boy's eyes looking up, he was sure that as long as there was a trace of pure-blood wizard blood in the boy, then he would definitely be assigned to Slytherin by that broken hat.

A witch, who seemed to be the boy's mother, hurried over. She seemed to ignore the changes in the boy, and took him away after a few reprimands.

Still curious, the perkin boy stood on the street, imitating his father's appearance, touching his smooth, bare chin.

It seems very interesting. If that quasi-Slytherin boy is really capable, it's not a bad idea to get to know him in advance, just take care of the elementary school boy.Lucius, who had finished his work and didn't want to go back to school for the time being, thought boredly.

Trusting his intuition and vision as a Malfoy——by Abraxas' father, Lucius, who had nothing to do, lazily followed the mother and son into the potion shop.

Oh, of course this is not some kind of stalking, how could he, Lucius Malfoy, make such an unglamorous move, he just happened to have something to buy.

Tsk tsk, look what he saw, a little potions fanatic, Lucius thought.As soon as he entered the store, he saw the black-haired boy just now with his eyes shining, moving quickly from one shelf to another, and then lingering in front of some shelves. What made Lucius even more angry was that the boy clearly I passed by him twice, but I didn't seem to see him once.

When did Lucius Malfoy become so easily overlooked?

Lucius noticed that the ingredients for the potion that made the boy linger at the end were not used to make simple potions. Lucius thought of several combinations of these materials, at least they could be made into intermediate potions .And Lucius found that the boy picked out carefully, all of them were of the best quality on the shelves.

This alone is necessary to know.Lucius made up his mind, stepped forward and said, "Hello, sir."

What does this long-haired peacock man want?Severus was sure he didn't know a boy with such...unique tastes.The other party looked three or four years older than himself, but he was dressed in Diagon Alley as if he was going to a banquet, and his golden hair was combed shiny, which was the source of the glaring feeling that made Severus just now.Not in Hogwarts at this time, but strolling in Diagon Alley, it shows that this boy has an unusual family background, and his haughty expression also illustrates this point very well.

"Hello." Severus made sure the other party was talking to him.

"I'm Lucius Malfoy, may I ask you..."

"...Severus Snape." Severus replied with a bit of gritted teeth. He didn't want to tell the other party his name, but he had to tell him out of politeness.

Lucius stretched out his hand in satisfaction: "Hi, Mr. Snape, it's an honor to meet you."

A look of sternness flashed across Severus's face. He shook the other's hand, believing that the slippery and sticky touch of Quest's frog skin mucus that he hadn't had time to wipe off would impress the other party deeply. .

Lucius looked at the disgusting mucus in his hands in annoyance, he was such a narrow-minded guy, Lucius took out his handkerchief and wiped his hands resentfully, and glared at Severus who was leisurely wiping his hands clean in front of him.But Lucius forgot that revenge is a Slytherin characteristic.

"I'm assuming you didn't stop me just to shake my hand, Mr Malfoy?" Severus said slowly.

"Oh yes, Mr. Snape, don't you think maybe I just want to get to know you?" Lucius asked half-truly.

Severus glanced at Lucius, "If that's the case, I really have doubts about Hogwarts' admission standards." He focused on Lucius' head, "I think their admission requirements should not be There is a head that glows, but there should be something in the head."

Lucius has black lines all over his head, why does my hair get in the way of you, you are jealous!

"I think you misunderstood." Lucius, who originally wanted to find an excuse, changed his mind and coughed lightly, "Please allow me to introduce myself again, Lucius Malfoy, the prefect of the third year of Slytherin. We welcome any capable young wizard to join Slytherin... As your future senior, I think we can maintain a friendly relationship, are you right, Mr Snape?"

"Maybe."

The two little snakes smirked together, and the clerk who stood aside and pretended he didn't exist secretly twitched the corners of his mouth.

At this time, Irene and the clerk came out from the inside, their eyes were a little red.

"Severus... your new friend?" Erin asked.

"Hi, ma'am." Lucius saluted.

"Hello, Mr. Malfoy." Irene replied.

"Then, we'll see you at Hogwarts, Mr. Snape." Lucius left after finishing speaking, he was not surprised why Severus' mother would know that he was Malfoy, obviously this lady is worse than this The boy must have eyesight.

Irene didn't pay much attention to this little episode, and making friends with a Malfoy would be good for Severus' future life at Hogwarts, but if the relationship was too deep, it might bring bad things.

"Have you chosen what you want?" Erin asked.

"Well, these, and these." Severus took out the selected materials.

"Oh, little... this little gentleman is very talented. Is it your son? Mrs. Snape?" asked the old clerk who was with Irene.

"Yes, this is my son, Severus Snape, Severus, this is Mr. Quincy McDowell, he is the manager of this store... If... you need anything later, You can come to him," Erin said.

"Hello, Mr. Snape, you can call me by my name if you want." McDowell looked at Severus with some excitement.

However, Severus made up his mind that he would not come to this store if he could not come in the future, "... Hello, Mr. McDowell." McDowell was obviously not very satisfied with Severus' unfamiliar address.

"Okay, we should go, how much is it?" Irene picked up the packaged potion ingredients.

"You don't have to..."

"How much?" Erin asked persistently.

"... thirty-five silver Sickles, twenty copper nats..."

Irene took out a gold coin from a shabby wallet, and McDowell's eye circles tended to turn red again, but he didn't say anything, as if they had reached an agreement just now.

Irene took Severus to walk in Diagon Alley again, the street was still as bustling as before, but in Severus' eyes, it was no longer so attractive.

"You have a question for me, don't you?" Irene said softly, holding Severus by the hand.

"If you'd like to tell me," Severus said muffled.

"Let's go home and I'll let you know when we get home."

"Ah."
