175 trace, fly, smile
After the incident with Professor Kettleburn ended, it took about two weeks for Karan to finally receive a letter from Hogwarts.
He opened the yellow parchment envelope and took out a list of new books to buy this semester.
Gone.
If you don't have a long book written by someone, just buy a new book like this.
Among the books purchased by students in the first grade, there are already some books that will only be completed in the second grade or even higher grades.
And from the look of the book list, it seems that the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor also plans to continue using this book.
"I just don't know if dueling lessons will continue."
In Snape's room, Karan shared his guess while eating the snacks prepared by Mrs. Prince.
“This is kind of a specialty course at Meadows.”
Snape didn't seem to hear what Callan said. He was looking at another piece of paper intently.
"The letter says we don't have to take the Hogwarts Express anymore."
He handed the piece of letter paper to Karan: "Just walk from Hogsmeade to Hogwarts."
Snape seemed a little uncomfortable with the sudden change.
"Isn't that natural?"
Karan spread his hands and couldn't help but smile: "We already live so close to Hogwarts. It would be too silly to force ourselves to take another day's train ride."
Snape nodded.
"yes."
He looked out the window at the street, with an inexplicable expression on his face.
Even to this day, he still wakes up suddenly from his dreams from time to time.
Then, amid the established facts, I couldn't help but be filled with joy.
He really left Spider End Alley, taking his mother with him.
This is so unbelievable.
At this time, Professor Kettleburn, who looked slightly gloomy, appeared in the street, and Snape subconsciously retracted his head.
He didn't seem to be in a good mood ever since his offer to breed Chimeramon was rejected.Coupled with the wooden prosthetic legs and hands on his body, as well as the scars on his face, it makes him look even more terrifying.
Callan's stuffed cheeks brushed past Snape's head. He glanced out the window and also spotted Professor Kettleburn.
And judging from his appearance, he seemed to be walking in the direction of school.
"Professor, is it possible that you haven't given up yet?"
Callan frowned and said, "Is it possible that he still wants to continue trying to persuade Dumbledore?"
Snape said with concern: "I hope the principal can be more firm and never let him succeed."
He looked at Karan and added in a low voice: "I don't want to suddenly have to face a large group of Chimaira beasts at the end of the semester."
Karan rolled his eyes.
Nowadays, Snape has even become a little neurotic. No matter what bad things happen to him, he will be the first to think of Karan.
At this time, an owl flew over from the window. It landed in front of the two of them and handed a letter to Snape's hand.
"It's Lily's letter."
He said, and then his eyes suddenly widened, as if he thought of something.
"By the way, wouldn't it be impossible for us to go to school with Lily?"
He turned to look at Karan, who rolled her eyes again and took the letter from his hand.
"That's right. Don't you feel sad, Sev?"
Kahlan said slyly, and Snape's face became much paler.
"snort!"
He stopped talking and concentrated on reading the letter in Karan's hand.
When he saw this, Karan silently turned to stare at Snape, his eyes full of questioning.
Snape looked at him with wide eyes.
"Is it possible that you still want me to keep the secret about Myramon from Lily?"
He said angrily: "I knew you had no good intentions!"
"Wait a minute, I will also write this matter in a letter and send it to Lily!"
"Two people looking at you are much better than one!"
Karan pouted: "I just didn't expect that you would actually become Lily's spy."
"Hmph!" Snape sneered: "Spy?"
"To be precise, it should be called allies."
"Called allies!"
"Okay, okay." Seeing Snape confusing himself with dark magic, Karan said angrily: "Continue reading the letter."
"Of course, I will definitely not accompany him to mess around!" Snape deliberately taunted Karan loudly.
Karan glanced at him sideways, and several things in the room suddenly floated up.
Snape coughed twice and suddenly became much more honest.
"How about this time?" Snape asked expectantly.
Karan nodded indifferently, but he still smiled and said: "This time, you don't have to buy second-hand books, and you can also change into a few sets of decent clothes."
Even after arriving in Hogsmeade, Snape had been wearing his school uniform, and his original clothes were only the ones that a few people had altered for him.
It was also the only Muggle clothing he had brought here.
"yes."
Snape said with a complex expression: "I can just use the bursary issued this year. My mother left all the money to me."
When he looked at Karan, he showed gratitude again.
"And hair."
Karan suddenly said: "It's time to cut your hair too."
"don't want!"
Snape's expression suddenly changed. His gratitude disappeared and turned into vigilance.
He covered his head tightly and said resolutely: "This is impossible!"
"I really don't understand why you keep staring at my hair."
After another failed suggestion, Karan curled his lips.
"Then let's go, write your reply quickly, and then go to the post office."
But when the two were about to leave, Snape looked at Kahlan in confusion.
"What are you doing with a broomstick?"
He frowned and said, "You don't want me to join the Quidditch team, do you?"
"Do not make jokes."
Karan rolled his eyes and said: "At least this will have to wait until you can stop falling off the broom. I have never met a wizard like you who has no flying talent."
Snape blushed with embarrassment, but he still muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's like how many wizards you have met."
After the two mailed the letter at the post office, Karan went back to his residence first, and then he took two brooms and Snape to the wide field again.
"What on earth are you going to do?" Snape asked.
"Of course I'm training you."
Karan said matter-of-factly: "When you go to school, you don't really plan to leave the broom and don't use it, but walk to Hogwarts."
"Before that, at least you need to be able to ride a broom normally."
A smile gradually appeared on his face.
"My gifts are not so easy to receive."
"spy."
Snape subconsciously took two steps back, his throat rolling hard.
He suddenly felt that his identity was exposed a little too early.
Worse!
For the rest of the time, Snape basically spent the rest of the time shouting and falling. Fortunately, Karan's slowing spell was used quite skillfully, which prevented him from becoming bruised and swollen.
Mrs. Prince, who had come from afar to ask them to have lunch, paused. She looked at Snape who was shaking in the sky and the skillful Karan beside her. In the end, she couldn't bear to interrupt them.
But when she turned to leave, a rare smile finally appeared on her thin, yellowed cheeks.
This smile has not appeared for more than ten years.
