Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

"Wear your hat. The sun is very strong today. Don't go out and get tanned."

Sherlock helped Amy adjust the sunhat on her head.

"Do you still have the windmill with you? Why don't you put it in the room first? There are other fun things in the amusement park."

But Amy didn't listen to him and still insisted on taking the windmill with her.

Snape stood in front of the door, looking at Sherlock who was still mother-in-law, and said with a cold face.

"How long are you going to wait? Go early and come back early. I still have potions to make today!"

Sherlock looked him up and down and saw that he was unprepared. He was still wearing the same robe that he wore all day long, like a big black bat. With that pale and gloomy face, he went to the amusement park and didn't know the truth. People would probably think he was a vampire who escaped from some haunted house!

"Do you want to be the center of attention?"

Sherlock said disgustedly.

"If you enter a Muggle playground dressed like this, someone will probably come to take a photo with you within two steps. Then the staff will think you are here to steal their business and kick you out."

Snape was speechless by Sherlock, but he really didn't have any clothes to change into. Whether before or after coming to this time, this was the only thing he had always worn.

Sherlock also noticed his predicament, walked up to him and compared his height. Snape was about 7 centimeters shorter (according to the original work, Snape's height should be around 179, in the movie Snape is 185, The original work is used here).

"My clothes may be a little inappropriate for you to wear, so you'd better go to a clothing store and buy something."

"You mean to let me wear those Muggle clothes!" Snape raised his voice.

Sherlock glanced at him.

"Is there a problem? Or are you discriminating against Muggles?"

Of course Snape would not say that he discriminated against Muggles. Maybe he had this mentality at this time, but now that he was in his thirties and had experienced countless ups and downs in life, he had actually seen through the so-called pure-blood theory.

There is no superiority or inferiority between Muggles and wizards in blood and ability. In some directions, wizards born as Muggles have an advantage.

It's just that he has some psychological resistance to changing clothes.

Sherlock ignored Snape's little mood. After taking care of Amy, he was ready to go out.

"Come on, Uncle Tobia, let's go choose some clothes for you to change into, or do you personally prefer to be watched like a monkey?"

Snape twitched his lips slightly and did not continue to argue with Sherlock. Following him, the three of them left the Leaky Cauldron together.

Sherlock and Amy both changed into normal clothes. Only Snape was still wearing a dark, loose robe in the middle of summer. Just walking on the road attracted the attention of many passers-by.

He had not been in contact with Muggle society for more than ten years, and he was really confused by the looks that were looking at him.

Sherlock patted him on the shoulder.

"So don't stay in the house. If you go out for a walk, you will become more sunny. Think about it, even if Lily forgives you at that time, do you think she will like to be gloomy all day long, like a moldy old man? Are you like a bat?"

Snape slapped Sherlock's hand off his shoulder and snorted.

"If Lily hadn't made that choice on the spot, do you think I would be like this?"

"Then who did you blame? It's not your own fault. You clearly know that the people you get along with discriminate against Muggles, and you still hang out with them. You know that Lily doesn't like dark magic, but you still study it all day long. These are all It's your own fault."

Sherlock said earnestly.

"So now you have to be more cheerful and don't act like someone owes you 25,000 or 80,000 all day long. I know you are trying to distance yourself from Harry, but people also have to think more about themselves, even if they don't "Lily, don't you even get along with friends anymore and your life won't go on?"

Snape still had a cold face, as if he was dismissive of Sherlock's advice.

Sherlock sighed and said nothing more.

Thinking about it, it was a miracle that Snape could change his personality with just a few words from him.

Amy was trotting in front holding the windmill, hoping to make the windmill spin when there was no wind, so she did not hear the conversation between Sherlock and Snape.

"I have sneaked into the Ministry of Magic through some channels. The specific department has not yet been determined. I shouldn't stay in the bar for a long time."

Sherlock told Snape about his current situation.

"I don't have any clues about the clues for going back, but I did find out the source of the magic that Lily used to protect Harry after the Dark Lord found the Potters."

Snape suddenly held his breath when he heard him talk about this.

"You want to start with that magic?"

"I feel this is the only possible effective method. Lily's death has become inevitable, her body has been buried, and the fact that she has not appeared in Harry's life for more than ten years means that this matter is irreversible. "

His words made Snape a little irritated.

"Why is it irreversible! Could it be that she actually faked her death, and no one else found out, and she has been hiding somewhere?"

"Do you think that based on her character, she will be like that?" Sherlock looked at Snape, "She loves Harry, and she must love her husband James. Since she has a way to fake death, she must also I won’t hide it from James. If James knew about it, would the plan of fake death still be possible? "

Snape was silent.

Sherlock was right. If he wanted to use the method of suspended animation, Lily must cooperate. And for Lily to cooperate, she must know the cause and effect of the matter. If she knew the cause and effect, she would definitely find a way to save James. Then this is fundamental. This is not a deception of history, but an open provocation.

"The solution is that people came up with it. According to my original intention, it was an accident that we would return to this time. We have to erase this accident and just go back how it came about. But after all, we came here together, you I also have to consider your feelings, so I will try my best to help as long as the historical process is not changed. "

"I am thinking from your perspective, and I also hope that you will look at this matter from a more objective perspective."

"According to the normal development trajectory, even if the Dark Lord is not dead, he has basically lost all his power. The entire magical world has gained peace for so many years before it has the opportunity to completely defeat him."

"We can use some tricks to try to establish some unknown things as established history, but when the Dark Lord wanted to kill Harry, he was rebounded by his own magic and lost his power. We cannot do it. Change."

He stared at Snape.

"I have seen with my own eyes what those Death Eaters have done these days, and how many people they have killed. You yourself were once one of them, and you should know better than me what will happen in the future if the Dark Lord does not fall. What kind of scene will happen?”

Snape didn't speak anymore. He pursed his lips and didn't know what to think about.

Sherlock could only talk to this point. He was really afraid that if he found a way to go back in the end, Snape would ignore him and use coercive means to change the course of history.

After coming out of the Leaky Cauldron, walk along the street and you will see a commercial street with men's clothing stores on this street.

Amy seemed to be tired from running, with beads of sweat on her forehead. She grabbed Sherlock's arm and walked forward slowly.

When choosing clothes for Snape, he looked like a cold puppet. He didn't say a word, just letting the shop assistant manipulate him, and finally changed into a summer dress common on the street.

The person who paid was naturally Sherlock, and Snape didn't have any coins like pounds on him.

To be honest, Snape is not bad looking, and he has a cold and handsome temperament. Although his face is a little gloomy, this may still be a bright spot in the eyes of some people.

It's just that his hair is oily and slippery, like kelp hanging from his head, which makes him look a little sloppy.

"Why doesn't Tobia like washing his hair?" Amy raised her head and looked at Snape and asked.

Snape said perfunctorily with a stinking face.

"Only superficial people waste their time dressing up."

Sherlock rolled his eyes at this and touched Amy's head.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. Keeping yourself clean is the basis for leaving a good impression on others. It is also responsible for yourself. People who don't wash their hair for a long time will have bugs in their hair."

Amy grabbed her long pale blond hair, put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it.

"Dad has said not to wash your hair during this period, but Amy's hair is still very clean."

Sherlock didn't ask why Eddie didn't let Amy wash her hair. He was flagging down a taxi and pulled Amy and Snape into it.

Today is neither a holiday nor a weekend. There are not many people in the amusement park, and many items can be played directly.

Although Amy's personality is much more mature than her age, she is still a child after all.

When she saw the huge Ferris wheel, she held up the windmill in her hand to compare it with it and let out an exclamation.

"A huge iron windmill!"

"Do you want to play with this first?"

Sherlock took her hand and went to the Ferris wheel window to buy a ticket.

Snape looked reluctant, but he still followed Sherlock to the window and watched him buy three tickets.

The three of them sat in. When Amy came in, she put her hands in front of the glass and looked at the scenery outside the window.

Normally, children like her from a wizarding family should have played with toy broomsticks when they were young, and would not be so interested in flying in the sky.

But Amy didn't seem to be exposed to these things. She didn't have her mother's company, and she spent very little time with her father. She probably didn't have any toys or anything like that.

Sherlock was quite interested at first, but when he saw that the person opposite him was Snape, he suddenly felt strange.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," he said while drinking water, "In Muggle society, the Ferris wheel has always had a special meaning, but I didn't expect that the first time I sat on it was with you."

Snape didn't look at Sherlock. He was looking through the glass at the shrinking city below.

"Didn't you have a relationship before when you were in school?"

"puff!"

Sherlock didn't hold it back and spurted half the water he drank out of his mouth.

Fortunately, Snape was sitting opposite Amy, otherwise he would have sprayed all over him!

"How do you know I was in love when I was in school?" he asked, twitching the corners of his mouth.

Snape turned his head with a sneer on his face.

"Do you think no one paid attention to you when you were in school at Hogwarts? On the first day you and the girl named Mary established a relationship, Flitwick excitedly told you about it in the teachers' common room. To everyone, Mag even almost cried about this, they have always been very concerned about your affairs."

Sherlock looked confused.

He had also always recorded private matters in the original owner's diary. Who knew that "he" had a first love that had long been known to everyone.

It seemed that Snape would enjoy having something to upset Sherlock, he continued slowly.

"As a result, you broke up not long afterward. Flitwick and McGonagall discussed this issue together for a long time. They felt that although failed relationships can make people sad, they are also the best medicine to promote human growth."

"But I didn't see anything sad about you in those days. You didn't like that Mary at all, did you?"

Sherlock curled his lips.

"Stop gossiping about these things. Be careful as you get older, you will become a bitch!"

At this time, Amy turned back in confusion.

"Is John's girlfriend named Mary?"

"It's his ex-girlfriend," Snape added cheerfully.

Sherlock flicked Amy's smooth forehead.

"Children should stop asking about adults' matters."

Amy pouted and wrinkled her beautiful brows, as if she was dissatisfied with Sherlock's words. She shook her head and continued to look at the scenery outside the window.

After getting off the Ferris wheel, Sherlock bought Amy a wave candy.

This thing actually tasted just like that, but the colorful ones looked very nice. Amy held it up together with the windmill, facing the sky, hoping that it could spin like the windmill.

To retaliate against Snape and satisfy his own evil taste, Sherlock also bought a prince's crown as a gift to him.

"Ah, Your Highness Prince, look at this thing, how suitable it is for your status (what I'm talking about here is that Prince means prince in English. Sherlock was mocking Snape for giving himself a false name. ).”

To Sherlock's surprise, Snape did not throw away the crown in disgust, but took it from his hand expressionlessly.

He held up the crown, his eyes filled with nostalgia and a painful memory that he didn't want to recall but couldn't forget.
