The Death Knell

The Potions Office is still the same as before. Although it is on the third floor of the main castle, it feels like a basement, with an indescribable gloomy atmosphere.

Maybe it's because there are too many animal and plant remains in the room. After all, these are the raw materials for potions, and there are always some very complex and weird smells.

However, Snape's current image has changed a lot. His hair no longer looks like it has not been washed for a long time and sticks to his scalp. Moreover, the black robes he always wore in the past have now been replaced by brighter ones. Dark gray.

Well, dark gray is actually not very bright, but for Snape, we can't expect him to wear pink, right? Su Ming thought about this type of color that was reserved for macho men, and thought that only his own Master Modu could conquer it.

"I see, Lily has changed your life a lot. At least it feels much more hygienic than before." Su Ming smiled and took the porcelain cup in front of him and looked at the tea inside. It should be some kind of herbal tea. It smells a bit like green grass with vitality: "On my way here just now, I saw Harry taking students to learn to fly. This is a good thing. I was really worried about him going into the funeral industry."

Didn't Su Ming organize a funeral for Sirius's younger brother before? He also invited a professional team to "Death to the Seven Dances". After watching it at that time, Ron couldn't forget it. He heard from his twin brother that he was determined to conquer Britain. A local dance-style funeral is here.

As for whether he succeeded after graduation, Su Ming didn't know. Anyway, it seemed that Harry didn't go.

"Harry is a good boy, and now I can finally look him in the eyes." Snape sat down behind the desk with some emotion, holding the teacup in his hand and spinning it: "Although we both know, this It’s just a lie…but as far as I’m concerned, he’s my and Lily’s child.”

Seeing his expression at this time, Su Ming felt a little emotional. Severus was indeed the most affectionate person in the magic world. Although this man always seemed expressionless, it was actually a side effect of the advanced Occlumency. He Her love for Lily was so overwhelming that she could accept Harry without hesitation.

Just because his eyes look like his mother's.

"Well, that's good if you think so, but I have to remind you, Severus, we resurrected Lily and Dumbledore's sister before. Although the process was complicated, it was not 100% irreproducible. For the sake of the future If nothing goes wrong, I suggest you burn James Potter’s body and then launch the ashes into the negative spaces of other multiverses.”

Of course, not everyone can gather the Three Sacred Artifacts, make a bet with death, and ask for the soul to come back and resurrect people.

But as long as there is a slight possibility, it must be nipped in the bud to prevent Harry from suffering again in the future.

Although Su Ming took away Harry's protagonist status, he also gave him a lot of things. Not to mention the 100,000 gold galleons prize in the Top Ten Tournament, just resurrecting his mother was already even, and even more What's more, it also comes with a cheap father and a beautiful French wife.

Severus is an internationally renowned potions master and the vice-principal of Hogwarts. Now he has given Harry a flying lesson professor position, allowing him to use his strengths and do what he likes. , isn’t this much better than his original fate?

As for Harry in the original book, he eventually became the Director of the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic, but is that really what he wants? Judging from his personality, Su Ming probably wanted his principal and godfather to both be alive.

"...I understand." When it came to Harry, Severus was obviously motivated. Although he felt that Deathstroke might be a little worried, careerists in the wizarding world are always there. It's safe to say Something is not a bad thing: "I will do this tonight. Let's talk about you. I don't believe you just came back to travel. Do you have anything to do?"

"If you don't play with those people from the Order of the Phoenix, there are some things you don't know are normal. I'll explain them to you. I'd also like to ask you if you've ever heard of something called ancient magic?"

Seeing that he listened, Su Ming stopped talking and talked about what he wanted to investigate on this trip, the so-called ancient magic.

He briefly told how he knew about this and how he accompanied Hermione back to school, and then waited for the Potions Professor's reaction.

After hearing this, he acted very quietly, but frowned as if he was remembering something. The crucible in the corner was constantly emitting colorful heat, as if it was lighting up the house.

"I have never heard of such a thing. Since it is ancient magic, I suggest you ask an older wizard." After a moment, Severus shook his head. He was sure that this phrase did not exist in his memory: "Yes. Maybe someone among the ghosts in Hogwarts Castle will know."

Many ghosts have lived here since the castle was built. If something happened to Hogwarts, they would most likely know about it.

Peeves definitely can't do it, but there are still smart people among ghosts, such as Helena Ravenclaw, the daughter of Lady Ravenclaw. That mysterious ghost always wanders around the Star Observation Tower at midnight. Nearby, if the autistic woman can be made to speak, then it is very likely that she will know something.

There's just one small problem. Helena is a timid and silent ghost. She doesn't even attend the annual Halloween ghost party. Many people think she only talks to her mother.

"This is a good idea, Severus. If no clues are found by night, I will let Hermione wear the Ravenclaw crown and go to the tower to try." Su Ming nodded. , I thought the advice from my old colleague was good, so I took out some Marvel specialties from my pocket and gave them to the other person to take home and try.

For example, Skywalker's high-end tobacco and alcohol, as well as high-end underwear and stockings manufactured by Wilson Enterprises, are not worth much money, but are just a piece of heart.

After all, Lily's age has stagnated for so many years since she died. She is still young now. Maybe she can give Harry a few younger brothers and sisters? Anyway, she will understand as long as she sees these things.

Severus is indeed a bit of a straight man. Even though he has a wife now, he obviously doesn't have much wisdom in this regard. He just accepted the gift and said thank you calmly, as if he didn't know that these were semi-opaque, like gauze. What's so good about ordinary clothes with very little fabric?

But just being able to say thank you was already very different from his past image. You must know that even Dumbledore had never heard him say a word of thanks. Su Ming was a little proud of this. He stretched out his hand and patted the long-haired man. shoulders and smiled crookedly:

"Hey, I think you don't understand it at all. Come on, let me explain it to you..."

So the two of them were playing with these underwear and socks in the office. Su Ming told him that this was the most popular item in the United States this year, and showed how useful the poor pieces of cloth in their hands were. But then the office door was suddenly opened from the outside. , a figure walked in quickly with sweat profusely:

"Father, get out of class is over. You... uh, Professor Wilson, hey, what are you doing?"
