Start at Hogwarts

Chapter 6

If you ask Snape, where is the whole school without running into Lantu Hurley.Then he can only tell you two answers, one is his room in the Slytherin boys' dormitory, and the other is the boys' toilet.

"Severus, go to Professor Sprout's greenhouse and get some mature lopweed. I'll make some potions, please."

After his dean and mentor said so, Snape had to stop handling the potion and went to the greenhouse.On the way, he was always worried about meeting Hurley and being entangled by her to waste time, so along the way, he could be said to be listening to all directions and not letting go of any trouble.

Coming to the greenhouse without any risk, Snape unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

"Professor Sprout, I'll get the earlobe...grass that Professor Slughorn needs."

There was no sign of Professor Sprout in the greenhouse, only one bent over the loose soil and straightened up with a bang after hearing his words... Hurley...

"Professor Sprout went to get something, and he won't be back in a while, Severus~ Long time no see~ Are you okay, I didn't expect to see you here..." Hurley's hands were covered with mud, his face There is also one.

"Sorry I went to the wrong place..." Snape said, taking his own steps.I just took a step and thought of something to stop, "Your hands are covered in mud, don't pull my clothes corner."

Um?What about people?After Snape finished saying this sentence, he found that the person who was still saying hello just now was gone?It disappeared in an instant... This is good, it's much cleaner. I just hope that Professor Sprout will come back quickly and let him get the lop ear grass, so that he can go back... go...

"Didn't I say not to pull mine?"

"Hey, Severus, didn't you say that you can't pull if you have dirt on your hands, but I went to wash my hands and there is no dirt, so I can pull now."

"..." That's not what he meant. Do you want to make it clear now that you are not allowed to pull him no matter whether he is soiled or not, but she won't listen at all.Snape touched his forehead in distress. He suddenly felt that Potter in his previous life was actually not very annoying, compared to this Hurley.

"What's wrong! Severus, do you have a headache! Why do you have a headache? Is it because I haven't had a good rest? I used to have a headache when I didn't sleep well. Lie down and rest..." Seeing Snape, his expression was a little painful After touching his head, Lantu rushed up to break his head to see what was wrong with him, and then prepared to drag him to rest like this.

Snape clearly heard his bones being broken by this violent woman with a crisp "snap" sound...

It hurts... Snape's expression was a little unnatural.When Hurley saw it, he became even more worried, and put his head on his shoulder and put it away.

"Ah... you guys..." Professor Sprout, who opened the door with something in his hand, saw this harmonious and warm picture of two people embracing each other in [Dark Fog].

"I'm still worried that Lantu won't be able to get along well with other people. Now that I have such a close friend, I feel relieved." Professor Sprout comforted him.

Lantu is a child adopted by her old friend Hurley who passed away. He once asked her to take care of the child.This is a single-minded good boy, but he is not very good at expressing his kindness, and he is too direct and ignorant of the world.She was once worried that she wouldn't get along well with a Hogwarts kid, but now she seemed to be getting along well with a Slytherin boy, so it must be fine.

Snape, who had been misunderstood by Madam Pomfrey before, didn't want to explain anymore. Years of experience as a colleague in his previous life allowed him to understand how much these seemingly serious professors like gossip and brainstorming.

So he just calmly put one hand on Lance's face and pushed her away, trying to push her away a little, and said to Professor Sprout with a serious face: "I'm here to take it for Professor Slughorn. Of the mature lopweed..."

"Ah, yes, I see. I'm going to pick it now, so you two friends can play together for a while." Professor Sprout smiled at the two children who seemed to be having a temper tantrum, and then went to another place One place was picked, leaving room for two children.

"Crack." There was another crisp sound, and the corner of Snape's mouth twitched.Why did he suddenly think of the dark circles and nosebleeds on Potter's face at this time, and couldn't help feeling sorry for the Gryffindor quartet who often had disputes with Hurley and was beaten up.

If Snape saw Hurley in Professor Slughorn's office, then she failed Potions class, or the cauldron exploded in the Potions class last time reached a level that Professor Slughorn could not bear The upper limit, was fined to labor service came.

If Snape saw Hurley in Professor Sprout's conservatory, then she was doing voluntary labor, to repay the Headmaster who had been kind to her and helped her.And showing closeness to her friend who was once her Uncle Hurley.

If, Snape saw Hurley in the school library, then she was doing something for the school to make up for the tuition sponsored by the school. There are often poor students who get tuition sponsored by the school, and the school will arrange for them to do things, such as Clean the library, scrub the trophy room, mow the lawn, whatever.

................................................

Lantu Hurley is a child adopted by a wizard. Her birth is unknown, and the person who adopted her is very poor. Now the person who adopted her is dead, leaving her alone, an 11-year-old girl living alone.It is conceivable that she is not having a good time, which can be seen from the way she dresses.I heard that someone once wanted to adopt her after her adopter died, but she refused to leave the place where she lived for a long time, preferring to live there alone.

She was poor, just like him in the previous life.But she is different from him in that she has never shown a little inferiority complex because of her birth and shabby clothes.Always so righteous, she doesn't care what anyone says, whether it's sarcasm, ridicule, or disgust, she always completely forgets about those people and things.She can smile so happily at him every time, even though she has nothing.

Sometimes, Snape thought, he envied Hurley.I can think of everything simply, and I can be happy for a long time for the simplest things.Does he have to learn this optimism?It's hard to live a new life... If it is wasted, I really don't want to be reconciled.

Snape often went to Professor Slughorn's office to help him process some potions, and also borrowed his place and complete tools to make some difficult potions and sell them.

To live a prosperous life, he needs to have enough money, and making potions is the quickest and most convenient way.And after talking with his mother a few times, he sent her to a hospital far away from home. Of course, he didn't tell his father. , he probably wished that these evil monsters could stay away from him.

Mother's medical bills are a huge expense, and it is useless to make some low-level potions. If it is to make high-level potions, he currently has no money to buy those expensive materials.The school provided some low-level potion ingredients, so he could only find another way.

But the good thing about Hogwarts is that there are a lot of potion ingredients he needs in the Forbidden Forest!These materials are also a major purpose of his coming to Hogwarts to study.If he had enough money to brew potions to his heart's content, he would also like to just stay at home and make potions.Going to school twice is really not a very beautiful thing, and in his opinion it is a waste of time.However, the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts has free potion materials, Hogwarts has a convenient place to brew potions, and there is no one in Hogwarts who often wants to trouble him and look at him with disgust Father, so here he comes.

The Forbidden Forest has always been the favorite place for Gryffindor students to go on night tours. During the time when Snape was a Potions professor, he was often able to catch those who tried to hide their bodies at the edge of the Forbidden Forest many nights. The little troll, and then take them all back, and by the way, severely deduct their house points, and improve his bad mood because of Potter and the principal.

And now, he is the student of the night tour.Slytherins, like Gryffindors, have nightwalkers, but they are never caught.One of the first things they learn in Slytherin is that it doesn't matter what you do as long as you don't get caught.Snape took it very seriously, and has always done this very well.

This is a night where the moon can be seen. The night owls in the Forbidden Forest are calling, and there are some leisurely birdsong. The moonlight shines through the branches on the ground covered with fallen leaves. The shadows of the trees and some unknown sounds are a little permeating. .But Snape didn't feel it at all, he liked the quiet atmosphere very much, and there were so many potion materials around, it made people feel good just looking at it.

Snape crouched carefully digging a nocturnal weed that only bloomed at night.

"Severus, what a beautiful flower..."

The sound in his ear made Snape's hand tremble, destroying a flower bud.He turned his head slowly, and sure enough, he saw Hurley's familiar face, as well as those white teeth that shone brightly and gleamed coldly under the moonlight...

The author has something to say: the so-called debt is too much to weigh on the body... I ate it after playing with morals...
