Snape, the Sunshine of Hogwarts.

Chapter 47, "Singing a Different Tune," was included in the accompanying newspaper/magazine.
When that blinding red light shot straight toward him.

Kingsley's intuition told him that he didn't need to try to dodge it, because the curse would go astray!
Almost as if the very next second after he finished chanting the spell, he was already ready to raise his wand again.

Kingsley never imagined he could defeat his enemy in one move.

Severus was one of the most powerful Death Eaters in the past, and countless Aurors from the Ministry of Magic had been defeated by him!

Even if he drank Felix Felicis, it would still be a tough battle.

Kingsley's years of experience in wizard duels led him not to choose to unleash another offensive spell as a second one.

He then chanted the Transfiguration Charm, causing the rubble around Severus to transform into pythons, attempting to immediately restrain his movements!

really!

Just as he had predicted, the disarming spell that flew over veered to the right by less than two inches, kicking up a cloud of fine cement fragments on the road behind Kingsley.

The transformation worked just as he had hoped; the pebble turned into a python!

However, when Kingsley looked back at Severus's original spot after the blinding red light, he found that the man had vanished!

At that moment, his hair stood on end!
He turned around abruptly and found a figure standing behind him, holding a wand high in the air.

A ghastly green light flickered at the tip of the wand.

That green light seemed to occupy Kingsley's entire field of vision!
His whole body was ice cold, and his muscles were frozen solid, so he couldn't move even a finger!

The fear of death made him unconsciously stop breathing.

He trembled, and suddenly everything went black before his eyes.

When he regained consciousness, he realized that he had been bound to the spot by a binding spell at some point, and his wand had fallen to the ground!

He stared blankly at Severus, who remained motionless in the same spot, his throat went dry, and his voice became hoarse.

"When was the Confusion Charm applied?"

"When you feel your breathing become heavier," Severus casually flicked his wand, and the pythons that had been conjured by the transmutation spell on the ground were restored to their original forms by a universal dispel.

Kingsley gave a somewhat bleak smile.

“I thought that by drinking Felix Felicis, I could at least hold you off.”

“If I hadn’t resorted to such a shameless sneak attack, you probably would have had a chance.” Severus patted the hem of his shirt, where there was a charred hole still emitting white smoke, left by Kingsley’s Stunning Curse.

The duel was over once Severus dodged his first spell.

Silent and staffless, the Confusion Charm cast through his eyes affected Kingsley from the very beginning, forcing him to constantly outwit and outmaneuver thin air.

After he cast his first Stunning Curse and then a Polymorph, Kingsley, from Severus's perspective, stood frozen in place, completely at his mercy.

"Give my regards to Robaz, and tell him that I appreciate his comments during the Daily Prophet interview, where he accused me of being the second Mystic."

After leaving behind a final sentence, Severus used Apparition to disappear from the spot.

Bound and helpless, Kingsley could only watch him leave.

The night wind made him a little cold. Kingsley hopped and skipped to a rock, and it took him a full twenty minutes to break the binding spell and pick up his wand again.

He raised his wand and fired a signal into the sky.

Soon, his own Aurors and Robaz's men arrived.

"You found him!" Robaz asked immediately.

“I happened to run into him, but I didn’t stop him; he got away.” Kingsley didn’t mention what Severus had asked him to tell him. “Before he’s gone far, let’s reverse the direction of Apparition and see if we can catch up with him.”

Robaz gave him a deep look and then didn't hesitate for long.

The Auror's methods were also professional; he immediately led his men to the spot where Severus had first Apparated and reappeared, and gave chase without stopping. Only Kingsley and his men remained on the mountain path.

Kingsley didn't immediately follow, but instead turned to look at the house on the hilltop, which was completely invisible in the darkness, and knew very well whose house it was.

But he didn't say it aloud; he only spoke to his men.

"Let's go, we'll follow."

The next morning, the Daily Prophet's front page featured the news that the Aurors had tracked down Snape and fought him.

This caused a huge uproar in the magical world.

In particular, according to an exclusive interview with The Daily Prophet, Snape was not only caught by an Auror that night.

Kingsley Shackler first faced him in Surrey, but was defeated and escaped.

Then Gadwin Robards and Kingsley, along with more than a dozen Aurors, tracked Snape down seven times in a row, finally catching him again near the outskirts of Birmingham.

A fierce fight broke out in the suburbs!
Despite being surrounded and attacked by more than ten elite Aurors, Snape managed to remove the wands of four of them, petrify three of them, and then escape!

This infuriated Scrimgeour, the Auror's Office Chief, who publicly reprimanded Kingsley and Robbarz at the Ministry of Magic and decided to personally lead the investigation.

When the general wizarding community in Britain learned of this, it caused a wave of panic.

Snape's strength was simply too overwhelming!
Eight years have passed since the mysterious figure lost power, and many have forgotten how those vicious Death Eaters wreaked havoc on the magical world eight years ago.

This pursuit has brought back memories of the past for them.

After the Daily Prophet's front page featured the story, countless wizards wrote to the Ministry of Magic, urging them to arrest the perpetrators as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, some people wrote to Dumbledore at Hogwarts, criticizing him for being so biased towards Snape. But it is said that Dumbledore would read these letters with desserts and snacks as a way to relax and relieve the stress of the day.

Just as the heated discussion in the British magical community regarding Snape's case reached its peak.

That afternoon, "Singing the Dissent" began to give away a copy of the magazine along with the newspaper to those who had subscribed.

But when people opened this magazine, titled "Blood Ties: Vampires and Muggles," they discovered that it was less of a magazine and more of a novel with a very detailed study of vampires and excellent writing.

Before reading the second half, many people felt that the content of this novel did not match its title, as there were no Muggles in it except for vampires.

Until they saw what was behind them.

A vampire named "Sanjini," who can't find work due to his identity and has to make a living by petty theft, accidentally wanders into the manor of a Muggle duke and is accidentally seen casting a spell by a disabled Muggle girl named "Patty."

To avoid being discovered by the Ministry of Magic and suffering a fine she couldn't afford, "Sanguine" had no choice but to rack her brains to erase "Patty's" memories, only to learn that "Patty" was determined to die.

During this time, they unexpectedly became the only friends who respected and understood each other.

Two groups, one a magician and the other a Muggle, begin their story on a night when the sun cannot shine through them.

This novel, which was included with the newspaper, made the witches who subscribed to "The Quibbler" increasingly sad and tearful as they read it.

The story is clearly unfinished!

When "Sangini" finally made up his mind to erase "Patty's" memories of him, an unexpected vampire mutation occurred, and he bit "Patty's" neck. "Patty" just held him tightly and whispered in his ear, "We are both different."

The story ends there.

On the afternoon the novel was mailed out, dozens of letters from readers were delivered to Lovegood’s house by owl, asking him why the story was not finished and what the final fate of “Sangini” and “Patty” was.

However, if this novel only caused a temporary stir among the majority of witches who were housewives...

To some wizards who were extremely concerned about this poisoning case, it was as shocking as a bolt from the blue!

Because the Muggle heroine in the novel, whether in terms of identity, name, or physical condition, is exactly the same as the victim who was taken away by Snape!
