HP's Wretched

The bookcases in the Hogwarts library are much taller than those in the Muggle world, so whenever Flott is looking for a book, she can always really feel that she is overwhelmed by the sea of ​​books, and recently she has Been submerged like this for days...

No need to think about what she was looking for—the weakness of the three-headed dog.But now, after so many days of searching, Flott could only determine one feasible method, which was to hug Hagrid's thigh and beg him to tell the mad dog's weakness.Because after searching for so many days and flipping through so many books, I only saw one useful sentence: each three-headed puppy has different preferences, and the owner needs to find out by himself.

Baby... Except for Hagrid, the author of this book, Newt Scamander, is the only one who can treat that monster as a baby...

Seriously, Flotte felt that if she couldn't find the weakness of the three-headed dog, then she might find a shotgun to rush into it.

Just as Flotte was secretly lamenting this matter with the book, a crisp voice sounded: "Professor, hello, do you know which book can give me a more comprehensive understanding of those famous wizards? I would like to broaden my horizons." ...to broaden my knowledge, I should have asked Mrs. Pince, but she is not here now."

Flote took her eyes off the book and turned to the girl with thick and fluffy brown hair. This girl looked familiar. Flotte thought she should know the name of this child, but unfortunately she didn't remember it.Flotte closed the book and said to the girl, "I think the book "The Great Wizard of the Twentieth Century" should satisfy you."

"I've read this book, but it's...not comprehensive enough."

"The "List of Contemporary Famous Magicians" is more complete."

"This... I've seen this too." The girl said with some embarrassment.

Have you seen it too?These two books are thick books with thousands of pages, and senior students may not borrow them to read, but the child in front of him looks like a freshman in the first grade.Flotte thought to herself.

"Are you a first-year freshman?" Flotte swept the child's school uniform again, "How many Gryffindors?"

"Yes, Professor, I am Hermione Granger, a freshman at Gryffindor House."

Hermione Granger!Hearing this name, Flotte finally matched the name of this familiar girl in her mind.As we all know, first-year freshmen do not need to study ancient rune as an elective course, so Flotte does not fully know this child, but she has heard of this child, because the name of this first-year student is really resounding. No less than the savior Potter, almost every professor will praise this child, saying that she has a wide range of knowledge, loves to learn and is very smart. There is no professor who doesn't like her, except for Snape, after all, this guy never likes anyone. student.And the reason why Flotte always sees this child familiar is that the relationship between this child and Harry Potter should be regarded as good, at least when Flotte goes to the hall for dinner one of the few times, she can always be seen talking to Harry Potter. It is easy to chat, so I can basically remember the general appearance after a few times.However, no matter how good this child is, she is only a first-year freshman, and it is indeed a bit scary to be able to finish those two boring thick books.

"Miss Granger, I've heard about you. Almost every professor who has brought you up has praised you, saying that you are very smart and like to read. Now that I see you, that is indeed the case," Flotte said.

Hermione blushed with embarrassment, and smiled shyly, but her eyes were still looking at Flotte with sparkles.

"Of course, I know that broadening your knowledge is a good thing, but you are a first-year freshman now, so you should read more books suitable for your age." Fluote suggested.

"I know the professor, but because I just entered the magic world, I want to know more about it, and books are the best way." Hermione found a decent reason at random. She couldn't tell the professor that they It was for the sake of Nicolas May that I read these books.

"You really like to read books. But there are only these two comprehensive wizard books in the library, and the rest are in the first section." The famous wizards who are not included in the orthodox wizard books must be those who have committed crimes. Dark wizard.

Hermione was a little disappointed when she heard the words □□, their first-year students were not allowed to enter.Unless...unless the professor's signature can be obtained!Thinking of this, Hermione raised her head and looked at Flott expectantly.

After all, Flotte has been teaching for two years, and she can more or less guess the tricks that the students sometimes play, especially the simple-minded first-year freshmen.So Flott vetoed without waiting for Hermione to speak: "The books in the □□ section are not suitable for first-year students, Miss Granger."

Hermione resumed the disappointment just now: "I understand, Professor."

"Actually, at your current level, the two books I just recommended are enough for your knowledge reserve." Speaking of the two books introducing famous wizards, Flott couldn't help but wonder why this kid specifically looked for the Wizard's Illustrated Book , but also need a particularly comprehensive kind.Books such as the Wizard's Illustrated Book are extremely boring. Except when she is doing research to find out the specific life of a famous wizard, Flotte will look through them, and she usually doesn't even want to touch them.So, is the kid looking for a wizard, too?Is it because a professor's paper requires them to do so?However, Flotte has never seen any famous wizards involved in the homework left by the professor, which cannot be found out in those two books, so this is very interesting.

Flott looked at Hermione again, trying to keep her tone as approachable and gentle as possible, and carefully inquired: "You are so interested in wizard books, are you looking for someone?"

Hermione shook her head violently, and argued, "It's not looking for someone, it's just because I'm interested."

Flotte, who has taught so many students, can't fail to see the child's little nervousness.But rather than trying to expose the child, Flott was more curious about which wizard Hermione Granger was looking for, or which wizard their small group was looking for.

But when it comes to their small group, it leads to a new idea for Flott.The child in front of me has a very good relationship with Harry. Although the main purpose of Flott's job here is to help Snape protect Harry, but it has been so long since school started, she has never talked to Harry. After all, she is a Slater. It is too noticeable for the professor of elective courses from Lin to pay attention to Harry Potter, but the appearance of Hermione Granger today provided Flott with a new way of thinking.

"Interest is indeed a major prerequisite for learning. I can't convince myself to kill a smart child's interest." Flotte said with a smile.

Hermione secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the professor in front of her believed everything she just said.

"I have a few illustrated books of wizards in the ancient wizarding world. I wonder if you want to read them?" Flotte threw an olive branch to Hermione.

"Is it really possible? Professor!"

"If I couldn't, I wouldn't have said it."

"Thank you so much, Professor! Is it convenient for you now?"

"Very convenient."

"Professor, wait for me here for a while, I will tell Harry and Ron, and then I will go get the book with you."

Flott nodded, and then saw Hermione running happily to her little friend after receiving her consent.

Flotte withdrew her gaze, then put the book in her hand back into the bookshelf, and couldn't help but think of Snape in her mind.She really didn't understand that Snape was willing to risk his life to protect Harry, why did he have to scare the child so much that he was afraid of him, and hated him so much? Is there anything wrong with being more approachable?Forget it, since Snape insisted on singing bad faces, she didn't mind continuing to sing her good faces.

……

"Wow!" Hermione sighed involuntarily when she saw Flott's personal collection of books.

Flotte walked up to the bookcase, and patted the side wall of the bookcase with her hand. After a while, the layer she photographed started to move from left to right as if pressed by a conveyor belt, and the book on the right disappeared into the cabinet. Inside the wall, the left head keeps moving out new books. The movement of the books seems to be endless. I don't know how many batches of reincarnation this is.After a while, Flotte saw the book she was looking for, and pulled it out.

Hermione, who saw all this happened, asked in amazement: "Is this using the legendary stretch spell?"

"The Stretching Curse is just one of the principles." Flotte explained, "This bookcase is a very successful alchemy product, and the books contained in it can be used to open a small library, but the disadvantage is that sometimes it is difficult to find books. Wait a while."

Hermione hadn't recovered from the shock, she nodded mechanically, and sighed: "Professor, you have so many books."

"When you live alone for seven years, your health is poor, and you rarely communicate with the outside world, you will collect so many books to pass the time." Indeed, she was discharged from St. During the seven years of cultivation, the life was lonely but full of meaning. In addition to dealing with those boring neighbors every day, there are also fixed people who report to her every quarter in the business of the wizarding world. She doesn't have to worry about taking care of her. , only Snape who came to visit her every month to give her medicine, so the rest of the time, besides drinking medicine, was collecting and researching various ancient books. Accumulation has progressed astoundingly.

Although Hermione couldn't imagine the loneliness of the professor living alone for seven years, she also experienced that when she had no friends, only reading could bring her happiness.

"Okay, you can take the translations of these two "Ancient Wizard Directory" and have a look, maybe there will be something you need."

Hermione took the book obediently, and couldn't wait to open it to see if there was the person they were looking for, but since the professor was still in front of her eyes, Hermione held back.She raised her head to look at Flotte, remembering the "Easy Introduction to Ancient Runes" she had just glimpsed on the edge of the desk, and asked with some embarrassment: "Professor, are you the professor Luster who taught ancient runes?" ?”

The co-author didn't know which professor she was for a long time. This Miss Granger is really interesting.Flote nodded and admitted, "Yes."

"I really want to learn ancient runes! Every time in the bookstore, I can always meet books written in runes that I really want to read but can't understand."

Like ancient runes?What a great opportunity.So he said softly: "Then when you are in the third grade, welcome to take my class."

Hermione grinned and nodded happily, but just as she was about to ask something more, she was interrupted by a knock on the window - it was an owl.

Flotte went to the window and put the owl in, then took away the mail it was holding on its claws, glanced at the signature on the letter, and she had a premonition that someone was going to cause trouble...

……

"Medusa, is Severus in the office?" Flott asked towards the guardian portrait in the potions office.

"Yes, Professor Luster, I will notify him of your arrival immediately."

Flott agreed, thankful Snape was in the office, otherwise she would have to go to the teachers' common room to find him.

"Come in, Professor Luster." Medusa opened the door of the office to Flott.

Inside the room, Snape, who was reading the paper at his desk, asked without raising his head, "What's wrong?"

Flott was not in a hurry to answer Snape's question, but turned to look at the two students who were dealing with the slugs, especially one of the first-year students - Neville Longbottom attracted Flott gaze.

"I think you came to see me because of something, not in another place, Flotte!"

Hearing this, Flotte quickly withdrew her gaze, turned her head to look at Snape again, and met that displeased gaze.Flotte asked: "Of course I have something to do with you, but are you punishing these two children for confinement?"

"Obviously." Snape returned Flott with a normal expression, but he stood up from the desk. Of course he understood Flott's hint: it's hard to talk about private matters with students.

Snape walked to the door of the inner room, opened it and invited Flott to enter.

As the dean of Hogwarts, Snape's living room is larger than Flott's. In fact, his office should be larger than Flott's, of course, if he does not fill up those bottles Cans, because those jars filled with strange materials made his whole office look so cramped, while the room he lived in seemed large and empty because of the few furnishings.

"I thought you would let me into your laboratory to talk about things." That's right, Snape also has a private laboratory. It can be said that Flott's office has better lighting than Snape's. There is no advantage.

"Since you almost blew up my crucible again, I will never let a bomb like yours enter my laboratory."

"I want to explain again, I was really careless that time!" Flotte argued.

"You always said you were not careful, of course, if you did it on purpose, then we have something to talk about." Snape's voice sounded cold, "Okay, what do you need from me. "

"Some people want to make trouble." Flott handed the letters and materials in her hand to Snape, and then continued to explain, "My people found that there was a problem with the accounts of the pharmacy, and the source of the problem was related to that An account of the cooperation of several Muggle businesses."

"Lucius has always been in charge of the cooperation between Muggle companies." Snape briefly glanced at the letter and said calmly.

"Although the holes in the accounts have been plugged by him, it is very intriguing why he gave so many medicines to Muggle companies for no reason and did not record them in the accounts." Flotte once asked Sibney Falsified the account, and then shipped high-grade potions to the Order of the Phoenix, so most of Lucius's fraudulent behavior can still be detected.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to find him once during the Christmas break. It's so strange that he doesn't charge for Muggle goods. I'm really afraid of what he's doing behind the scenes, so I have to ask him."

"Lucius certainly won't tell you the truth."

"Don't worry, I have my own way. I came here to let you know. By the way, will you go with me at Christmas?" Flott would not say that he wanted Snape to go on. Then act as a bad-faced expert in talking about collapse, and give her a chance.

"I'm not interested. Besides..."

Before Snape could finish talking, there was the sound of rattling utensils hitting the floor outside...

The author has something to say:

Hooking up with Hermione's cutie is just to hook up with Harry in the end, hahaha.

Really fragrant warning Snape, perfect...

Sure enough, I can't do daily updates, so I'll honestly update every two days.
