Starting Over at Hogwarts - Chapter 238
Potions Lab.
This is a room on the ground floor.
There is indeed a small cabinet above this potion laboratory, which is filled with densely packed potion bottles and crucibles, and even some experimental notes.
“I didn’t expect these things to still be…”
Lily’s ghost floated up the stairs. She looked at these scattered things with a smile on her face: “It seems that few students come here…”
“Um.”
Snape nodded indifferently.
This small room was their secret base when they went to school.
Because Professor Slughorn, the potions teacher at the time, liked the students with outstanding talent very much, and even liked to hold some kind of slug club, and invited these students to party, and Lily was naturally one of the guests.
Both Snape and Lily had the qualifications to enter and leave the potion laboratory at any time, but the two little guys who were only ten years old at the time liked the secret base, and they used the small cabinet they found as their storage potion and records. Base for notes. .
later…
The two fell out…
It’s completely deserted here.
After Snape became the potions teacher, students were not allowed to enter here at will, and the secret base between the small cabinets was never discovered by other students.
Lily looked at this place and said softly: “If there is a chance, it seems that I can continue to study potions at Hogwarts…”
“This is your place.”
Snape lowered his eyes calmly.
This sentence seemed to answer Lily, it seemed to answer the question, and it seemed to show what he meant. Snape could always keep his mind hidden.
Snape glanced at her ghost, and then slowly lowered his head: “If nothing else, I still have a potion experiment to do…”
“Um…”
Lily nodded casually.
However, just as Snape was about to go downstairs, Lily suddenly turned her head to look at his back, and stopped him softly, “Severus…”
“…”
Snape’s footsteps stopped and he turned around slowly.
The woman grabbed her fingers restrainedly and looked at him gently and politely: “Severus… can I… go and help?”
“…”
Snape was stunned for a moment.
“Of course…”
After the man nodded in disbelief, he hurriedly lowered his head again, as if for fear that Lily would find out that his expression was wrong.
Lily slowly floated to his side and said with a smile, “I hope my knowledge of potions is still useful…”
“Any knowledge has value.”
Snape raised his head and answered seriously.
As he had been in his teenage years, as was his love and belief in potions knowledge, he had never taken these things seriously.
In the dark potions laboratory.
A kerosene lamp quietly lit up.
While arranging the medicinal materials, Snape lit the alcohol lamp under the crucible. He no longer cared about the results of the experiment tonight, and he liked the experiment process more than ever.
“The flames are a little higher.”
Lily looked at this scene with a smile, stood beside him and reminded him softly: “The speed at which you arrange the medicinal materials is a few seconds slower than in the past, and the cauldron will boil faster…
When we brew the potion, don’t let the cauldron go into a boiling state until the cauldron is put down, so that any ingredients can be guaranteed to be perfectly matched. “
“…”
Snape lowered the flame of the alcohol lamp without saying a word.
The laboratory in the middle of the night was always calm, with warm lights illuminating the experimental bench, Snape skillfully brewed the potion, and took notes with a quill.
Lily stood by and raised her doubts from time to time, occasionally reminding Snape of which data was wrong, as if she was experimenting with potions as she did when she was a child.
Listening to the gentle voices around you…
Snape’s mood gradually calmed down.
Just as the quill in his hand was recording the last number, Lily, who had been smiling by the side, suddenly said, “Severus, I’m sorry…”
“…”
The quill in Snape’s hand froze.
Lily’s voice was a little calm, and she whispered about their past: “I always thought our friendship was broken for a long time…”
This is the most sincere apology.
Because she had always thought she and Snape had parted ways.
It wasn’t until she died under Voldemort’s wand that she found out that Snape’s friend was still caring about her, which made her especially feel guilty about her past, and they shouldn’t have broken off their friendship.
“…”
Snape’s fingers squeezed the quill.
The man’s heart was extremely uneasy, and he still remembered what Peter Pettigrew said when he humiliated him. It seems that he never formally apologized to Lily…
What he didn’t expect was…
Lily returned to this world but took the initiative to apologize to him.
However, just when Snape wanted to apologize and say everything, the words suddenly backed down…
Snape put the quill on the table with a calm expression, as if he was talking about someone else’s affairs. I didn’t see you again…”
this man…
Speaking of things that are clearly related to me…
It turned out to be as indifferent and calm as the attitude in class.
Even when Lily saw Snape like this, she couldn’t help but have a feeling that Snape, a friend, now seemed to be indifferent to everything, and even Lily felt that Snape was a little unfathomable…
middle…
What happened again?
Lily glanced at Snape in a trance, and sighed softly: “Sorry, I always thought you went to Voldemort…”
“I did take refuge in the Dark Lord.”
Snape frowned and interrupted Lily, he was reluctant to let her take the blame on himself…
After speaking, Snape slowly turned his head to look at Lily, his eyes narrowed slightly, hiding his thoughts.
But this look…
Make him look like a proud professor~www.mtlnovel.com~ When Snape spoke, he still carried a Slytherin-like pride: “I like to learn dark magic, I always think that the Dark Lord is a A unique dark wizard that can make wizards stronger, but…”
When he said this, Snape’s voice suddenly stopped, he took a deep look at Lily, and turned his head sharply, as if he didn’t want to talk about what happened later.
“but what?”
Lily asked curiously.
“but…”
Snape took a deep breath, and lowered his head to clean up his notes, as if a little contemptuous and contemptuous, and scolded rarely, “He’s a cold, ignorant idiot!”
This sentence…
Maybe scolding Voldemort…
Perhaps he was also scolding himself for being unsatisfactory.
