[HP]Dark Night Lone Star

When Draco Malfoy told the Headmaster that Umbridge had something to ask him, the Potions Professor was in his office arranging the shelves full of potions of different colors bottle.

Seeing Draco's unconcealable excited expression, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What happened?"

"Oh!" Draco replied, laughing, "Potter the Clown and his stupid friends hatched a flawed plan to break into the Headmaster's office, and we caught it all, Professor."

Snape didn't ask any more questions, just walked quickly to the door, ignoring Draco's "But Professor, Veritaserum—" behind him.

Even though he hated Potter, he didn't want any trouble for that stupid, pompous kid, whether it was for the Order of the Phoenix—or for Lily.

Striding into Umbridge's office, he quickly scanned the surroundings with his eyes, and as expected, he saw Potter's intimate iron triangle and two other Gryffindors. However, there was one student restrained, and when he looked When he saw the other person's face, his heart sank quickly.

Luna Lovegood was looking out the window in a daze, as if she was not interested in what was happening now. She seemed to stray into the scene of the accident while sleepwalking, her eyes were lax, and she didn't notice his arrival.

He tried his best to hide his sarcasm and told Umbridge coldly that all his stocks of Veritaserum had been abused by the other party, and he also showed his perfect attitude towards Potter after hearing Potter yell "they caught Padfoot". He was about to slam the door and leave, but Umbridge stopped him again, so Snape had to suppress his anger and turned around and asked in a very restrained tone: "Principal, are you still here?" Is there a problem?"

Umbridge's sweet smile couldn't hide her actual anger, but at the same time she sneered like a spy who had seized the handle: "Oh, Professor Snape, I think you may have noticed that there is still Is there a talented apprentice you love?" She hurriedly glanced at Luna who was standing a little far away, and continued: "It seems that Miss Luna Lovegood is also one of Mr. Potter's loyal friends. , what do you think?"

Snape blurted out almost without thinking: "I am interested in Miss Lovegood's special talent in potions. As for her interpersonal life, I am not in the scope of my attention. I deeply regret this matter. , but I think it is not suitable for such a reckless and stupid student who violated the school rules to continue to get my attention, thank you for reminding me." When he was speaking, he looked at Luna contemptuously, and for a moment he seemed to feel that Luna was also looking back. She glanced at him, but soon realized that it was probably an illusion, because the Ravenclaw girl was in a daze, not looking at anything.

He turned and left, and now he needed to get in touch with the Order of the Phoenix as soon as possible.

However, even after walking out of Umbridge's office, Severus Snape still couldn't calm down, he felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart.Why is it that he was the one who got angry at that girl, but now he feels as if he has been hurt?

He doesn't understand.

By the time I saw Luna Lovegood again, it was all over.He had heard from Dumbledore about Potter and his idiot-friends at the Ministry, and was momentarily speechless in astonishment, so when he saw Luna on his way to his office in the basement Lovegood didn't even know what to say when he showed up, as usual, in the Potions classroom, stirring intently with his wand a pot of pearly white liquid.

Noticing his arrival, Luna turned her head, a shallow and weak smile appeared on her pale face, but her voice was as clear as a morning stream: "Good morning, Professor Snape. Because the potion this time The preparation will be over soon, so I want to at least finish this potion before packing up and leaving, I won’t come here to bother you again in the future, I hope you can understand my unauthorized actions.”

Snape silently stared at the girl's light silver pupils. Normally, no one would look at him for more than ten seconds, but the girl was an exception. He reckoned that if he kept looking at each other like this, he would be the one to admit defeat.

So in the end, he was the first to speak: "Don't come here again, otherwise Professor Slughorn will never let a talented witch like you go-so next school year, if you want to continue to make potions, you can Come to my office, the password is 'sunlight blue'."

He turned and left quickly, so he only had time to hear Ravenclaw's little girl's voice from far behind: "Thank you, Professor Snape!"

Therefore, he also made a corresponding reply: "No shouting in the corridor, five points for Ravenclaw!"

Severus Snape was feeling better now, from the bottom of his heart.
