Snape, the Sunshine of Hogwarts.

Chapter 45 Come Back to the Ministry of Magic with Me
After drinking Felix Felicis, the user will have a state of being and luck far exceeding the norm for 12 hours!

After learning that Snape had taken his men to Surrey, Kingsley did not stop there. He questioned the two apartment residents and learned that the car parked in that spot was started and driven away around 11:50 a.m.

He gave orders to the sheriffs who were following him.

"Go and wake up your chief and tell him to immediately send men to Surrey County!"

After saying that, he left alone along the street.

The officers looked at him in confusion, and a sheriff asked loudly.

"Commissioner! Where are you going?"

“The government needs me to report on some things separately. Don’t worry about me, I’ll be waiting for you in Surrey.”

Kingsley said without turning his head.

Soon, he completely disappeared from the sight of the police officers and arrived at a secluded alley.

He used Apparition to return to the temporary Auror office set up by Robaz.

Robazs, who had been investigating through magical channels all day without finding anything, was still awake. He immediately heard Kingsley's question after he revealed himself.

What does Surrey County have?

Robaz only paused briefly before quickly recovering.

"There are many villages there inhabited by wizards and Muggles! There's also a rumor that Dumbledore might have sent the boy who survived to that place!"

Upon hearing Robazs's words, Kingsley's mind was filled with countless thoughts.

He thought of the boy with Snape, the one whose face seemed somewhat familiar, and of what he had just heard from Mrs. Newman—the boy saying, "We're going back to Surrey." He also thought of the rumors about Snape's relationship with a certain woman during his school days.
Perhaps influenced by Felix Felicis, an extremely bold guess emerged in his mind.

Kingsley himself was somewhat startled by the speculation, but he quickly calmed down and buried the sudden thought deep in his heart, regardless of whether he was right or wrong!
He continued asking questions without revealing his true feelings.

Which wizarding families live there?

Robazs, unaware of Kingsley's unusual behavior, summoned one of his men and ordered him to retrieve the Auror's internal documents.

"The Weasleys are a pure-blood family, and others include the Diggory, Fawcett, Lovegood, and so on."

Upon hearing the surname Weasley, Robards stared at Kingsley.

"Could he be thinking of going to Weasley?"

Kingsley shook his head almost instinctively.

"No! That's unlikely. He's never had any connection with Weasley, nor does he have any reason to go looking for Arthur and Molly!"

"Then who can he look for there?"

A thought vaguely arose in Kingsley's mind. He was certain that it shouldn't have been his intuition, but rather a whimsical idea that popped into his head under the influence of Felix Felicis!
“I firmly believe Snape is innocent!” he suddenly said. “But if he is truly innocent and chooses to run away instead of trusting the Aurors and the Ministry of Magic, how can he prove his innocence?”

Robaz just stared at Kingsley, sensing that Kingsley was in a rather strange state, and he couldn't keep up with the other's thought process at all.

Kingsley didn't voice his guess; he simply directed the other Aurors.

"Apparate to Autri-Saint-Catchbol village! All of you! Now!" The next second after he finished speaking, he waved his wand, his body twisting in the air, and he vanished from the spot in an instant.

The other Aurors, including Robaz, also used Apparition.

At the same time, in the village of Autri-Saint-Cachipol, more than a dozen figures appeared in phantom form!

"Robbaz, take your men and go check out the Weasleys. It's unlikely, but we should still go," Kingsley commanded.

Robazs didn't set off immediately, but instead looked at Kingsley.

Where are you taking your people?

"The Diggory family! Amos Diggory works for the Ministry of Magic, so Snape might go to him!"

The two then parted ways.

Robbarz led his men to Weasley, and Kingsley led his men to Diego.

However, Kingsley and his Aurors had barely left the village of Autri-Saint-Catchbol when he sent the others to visit Digolina, claiming that he had suddenly had some ideas and wanted to look elsewhere.

After parting ways with his men, Kingsley turned and headed straight for a small hill in the village of Autri-Saint-Catchpol.

It's very late now, almost midnight. The sky is overcast, and you can't see any stars or moon. A night wind is blowing, and it looks like it will rain soon.

Kingsley, wand in hand, began to climb the mountain.

The wind made his robe rustle loudly!
He squinted, feeling himself getting better and better, as if everything in the world was looking out for him!

Then he saw a figure on the road leading to the top of the mountain.

The figure bent down in front of a car, as if giving instructions to someone in the driver's seat.

Kingsley stopped and looked at the figure standing in the middle of the road.

At that moment, the man seemed to notice a gaze fixed on him, and he turned to look at Kingsley in the middle of the road.

Their gazes met in mid-air. Neither of them could make out what the other looked like, only a vague outline. But at that moment, it was as if they both realized who the other was!
The figure in front of the car straightened up, patted the car door, and whispered something to the person sitting in the driver's seat.

The next moment, the engine roared to life, and the car shot off like an arrow. The headlights illuminated Kingsley in the middle of the road, and also allowed Kingsley to see the two people sitting in the front seat!
A tall, pale-faced, and nervous young man, and the boy in the passenger seat!
The car sped past Kingsley, but Kingsley didn't even glance at it. He just stared at the figure left behind and shouted.

"Severus Snape!"

His voice was carried by the wind and reached the ears of the figure.

The figure slowly moved forward, finally revealing its true form completely in Kingsley's sight!
The man who had already shown him an amazing transformation back in Gringotts, with his neat, clean black hair and a perpetually gentle smile, stood before him.

"Shakel, should I say it's been a long time, or am I just lucky to run into you here?"

Severus extended the hand that had been hidden in his sleeve, and the tip of his wand was now glowing faintly!

Kingsley took a deep breath and unbuttoned the top button of his robe.

"Come back to the Ministry of Magic with me! No matter what your reasons were for committing these crimes, I guarantee you will receive the fairest judgment!"
