"Just put the umbrella in the bucket, Professor Snape, my parents and brother are waiting. You saw it last time in Germany, but you didn't see Mycroft, he's the oldest brother, And Sherlock..." Scalevan brought Snape to the living room, and the other members of the Holmes family were waiting there, and when they saw them coming in, they all stood up to welcome Snape.

"I think I already know your family members." Snape had to interrupt Scarlett's enthusiastic introduction, he was not used to being so enthusiastic about him.

"Hello, Professor Snape, I haven't seen you for a few years. Nice to meet you." Mr. Holmes, as the head of the family, stepped forward and said, "I didn't expect such a coincidence."

"Yes." Snape replied briefly, and then he said: "If you don't mind, I think we should start. Miss Holmes is not the only student I need to pick up today."

The Sherlock Holmes had expected this a long time ago. To be the first to pick up Scarlett also showed Snape's trust and importance to her.

"How about this, Mr. Snape." Mr. Holmes suggested, "Let Mycroft drive with you to pick up the other children. My wife and I and Sherlock will wait for you at the destination first. We can wait for you at the nearby destination." Go around and call us when you get to Skalevin."

"No, why Mycroft?" Sherlock habitually objected.

All Holmes looked at Sherlock with "Why do you ask such an idiot question?"

"Of course it's because Mycroft works for the government." Mr. Holmes explained anyway, lest Snape misunderstand.

Snape only thought for a moment before accepting the offer, which was indeed much more convenient for him.

This year there are more Muggle students than in previous years, so even Snape has to come out to pick up a few - because 99% of the students from the Muggle world couldn't enter Slytherin in the past few years (there are very few mixed races), So Snape used this as an excuse not to pick up the new students.

Of course Snape was very clear about his own personality, and he didn't know who would be a disaster for such an errand to pick up freshmen.Fortunately, Scarlett was among the freshmen he was in charge of, which was why he was the first to pick Scarlett up... I left it to her to explain to the other freshmen and their parents later!

"Then let's go now." Mycroft said with a smile while holding the car keys.

Before that, Mycroft had been sitting at the table drinking tea silently, and Snape didn't pay much attention to him. Although he hadn't seen him last time, Snape wasn't particularly curious about Muggles.However, when Mycroft spoke and stood up, Snape wondered why he thought this person was nothing, inconspicuous, and didn't need to be noticed at all.Although he didn't do anything, even the smile on his face was very official, the kind Snape was very familiar with, but when Snape saw this man's eyes, he couldn't help but become vigilant all over his body.

This was a dangerous man, Snape's instinct told him.

Snape didn't know it yet, but from the moment he came in until now, Mycroft had guessed everything about his character, background and identity based on what he already knew.

"Mycroft, you are really rude!" Mrs. Holmes protested. "Professor Snape has just arrived, and he hasn't even had a cup of tea!" She turned to Snape and said, "Please sit down, Snape." Professor Nepe, the black tea I just brewed is Chinese, it's very good, you must try it."

"No, I think..."

"Skalevin made cranberry cookies by herself. She is very good at it. You must try it. It's still early...it's only [-]:[-], not less than half an hour away. Look, it's still raining heavily outside. "

To be honest, Snape had no idea about this kind of "female who expresses her strength with a gentle attitude". Originally, he planned to "pick up people→pick up people→pick up people→go to Diagon Alley→buy all the things→go back to each house ", but now they are sitting on the sofa in Holmes' house, drinking a glass and chatting... Of course, the Holmes and his wife are happily asking questions, and he is only responsible for answering.

The black tea from across the sea from China is really great, and it blends perfectly with Chun Chun's whole milk, and the taste of cinnamon sticks is simply perfect, making people want to sink into it.Even Sherlock, who has always been picky, is drinking tea in silence, just listening and not talking.

Half an hour later, Snape, Scarlett, and Mycroft got into the car very punctually. The Holmes couple and Sherlock sat in another car, and the group set off for London.The torrential downpour that started early in the morning finally stopped slowly, and the air was damp and cool, so Skalevin had to find another coat to put on temporarily.

"Who else?" Scarlettwen asked Snape, who both sat in the back for convenience.

Snape took out a piece of paper and looked at it. "358 Newington Road, Stoke, 59 Christie Ray and Robb Road, Ignatius Cleverley." He handed the paper to Snape. Calvin.

"358 Stoke Newington Road, 59 Robe Road." Scarlett murmured a few times, "the distance is not too far, but if I remember correctly, 59 Robe Road seems to be a church Orphanage?"

"Really?" Snape's response was flat.

"I thought wizards and the Church didn't get along," said Mycroft earlier.

"Yes, but that was a long time ago." Snape said in a contemptuous tone. "How many enemies in the church can become wizards now?"

"makes sense."

Mycroft took a quick glance at Snape in the rearview mirror. To be honest, he thought Snape was kind of magical. He looked alert, although it was only for a moment, and then Snape quickly covered it up, but Mycroft still made no mistakes.

This gave Mycroft a rare interest.

"May I ask a question, Professor Snape?" Mycroft asked calmly, "I heard that you are the youngest Headmaster of Hogwarts, Slytherin House."

"Please."

"How do the students get to the school? I mean, since Hogwarts is a closed wizarding school, it must be in an inconvenient place."

This is not a difficult question to answer, as the leading professor, this question is within the scope of Snape's answer.

"By train. Train at eleven o'clock on September [-]st, platform nine and three-quarters at King's Cross . . . through the pillar between platforms nine and ten."

Uh... Who did such a foolish design?

At this moment, Scarletwen and Mycroft were speechless at the same time, and really couldn't understand the wizard's thinking.

"It seems very interesting... But can it really pass through? It won't hit the wall, right?" Skalevin said worriedly.

Snape glanced at Scarlett, not understanding why she had such an idea. In Snape's view, magic is much more reliable than Muggle things: Muggle-made things are always inexplicably damaged, And magic objects will continue to function forever as long as the magic composition does not change... Hit the wall?Thanks to Skalevin, she figured it out.

However, Snape forgot at this moment that there is still something called "external factors" in this world, so a few years later, his current idea was slapped in the face by the savior.

"What I want to know is, how do you sort houses? The wizard's sorting method~ how do you know who should be in which house? I think there must be a special way, right?" Mycroft asked again.

"Of course Miss Holmes will know when she enters school." Snape replied flatly.

It's too perfunctory!

Whether they know the answer or not, Scarlettwen and Mycroft feel that this question is difficult to answer, but what they don't know is that even a young wizard from a wizard family can't get the real answer when asked this question. answer.

Mycroft is not discouraged either, sometimes seemingly inadvertent questions can infer deeper and detailed content from the answers, which is what Mycroft is good at.It is not easy for the British government to obtain wizard information, and there are often things they can't figure out, let alone details like this.Of course Mycroft wasn't genuinely curious about asking these little questions, he was just trying to follow through.

However, Snape was not easy to deceive. When he found that Mycroft's question was getting deeper and deeper, he was a little indifferent.

Scarlett didn't sympathize with Mycroft at all. You know, she will soon be a member of the wizarding world. If you have any questions, you can't ask her later, but she just leaned in front of Professor Snape...

Are you cold?deserve it!

In the midst of chatting with each other, the three of them had already entered the urban area of ​​London.

From the perspective of the British administrative system, the Greater London area actually includes the City of London and its surrounding 32 London municipalities.Buckingham Palace, the most representative of the British royal family, No. 10 Downing Street, the residence of the British Prime Minister, and the Palace of Westminster, the House of Parliament, are actually located in Westminster.

The city of London in the general sense is actually very small, and its boundaries have remained unchanged since the Middle Ages.

The place Scarlevan and the others are going to is not the real "London City", but next to it.As soon as Mycroft's car crossed the Thames, traffic jams began. Mycroft turned on the radio, and a talk show host was telling the North Bank of the Thames that there was a traffic control because of a gas explosion accident. Drivers who are here or will arrive here, please detour~ If you are already blocked, sorry, wait slowly~ If you have something urgent, sorry, the last choice, run forward~

This cheerful tone sounds like gloating.
