Snape, the Sunshine of Hogwarts.

Chapter 54 The Wizards' Eagerly Awaited Night at Eight O'Clock
Another night fell on the island of Great Britain.

It was a day that seemed no different from any other, but for most British wizards, they had been waiting for news ever since the sun went down.

Or, to put it another way, the sale of a newspaper.

The Burrow.

The Weasleys still waited until Arthur came home from get off work before they started eating dinner.

Their eldest son, Bill, has gone to Gringotts in Egypt to work as a curse-breaker, but even with one less person, the Weasleys' liveliness remains undiminished.

"Dad! Does the Ministry of Magic already have inside information?!"

Arthur had barely sat down in the chair when Charlie asked impatiently.

George and Fred also turned to look at Arthur. Percy looked serious, but secretly pricked up his ears. Even the youngest Ron and Ginny couldn't help but shift their attention away from the food on their plates.

However, before Arthur could even clear his throat and speak, Molly had already sternly suppressed the group of curious children.

"At least let your father sit down and catch his breath!"

Her words calmed the group of children down a bit, but their eyes were clearly still fixed on Arthur.

At this point, the audacious George began to shout.

"Mom, you wanted to know too, didn't you? Ginny secretly told us that she saw you flip through that book three times by yourself, and you cried every time!"

Ginny, flustered and angry, tried to stab her talkative, tattletale brother with a fork. Molly yelled and tried to pull George's ear, but she mistook him for someone else and grabbed Fred instead, making him scream. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ron stole a sausage from Fred's plate.

In the end, it was Arthur who calmed the chaotic scene.

"Alright, alright, quiet down. If you want to know the inside story, then eat quietly."

The dining table quickly fell silent, the children all seemed to have become well-behaved, and even Fred, who had discovered the sausage was missing, stopped bothering Ron.

But this orderly atmosphere was soon broken by Arthur's sigh.

“Well, I admit it. The Ministry of Magic has no inside information, and the Aurors can only watch the Lovegood family like everyone else, waiting for him to deliver the newspaper.”

The Weasleys booed.

Ron seized the opportunity before Fred could snatch the sausage back, and ate half of it while muttering to himself.

"Then what use do the Ministry of Magic have for Aurors?"

“The stories in the book must be true!” Ginny declared.

Charlie looked at his youngest sister.

"why?"

"Because such a touching story must be true!" It's normal for an eight-year-old girl to have this kind of logic.

George and Fred, however, had great confidence in Severus.

"Whether it's true or not, Professor Snape is definitely not a bad person."

The Weasleys were almost used to it; the twins had a particular fondness for the Slytherin headmaster.

However, since they had never seen Severus after the change, everyone except Percy still remembered him as the gloomy, sarcastic Potions professor and could not imagine the sunny, cheerful, gentlemanly, and polite Snape.

Arthur glanced at the time on his watch.

"Since everyone is so concerned, let's wait and see. Anyway, there's only about an hour left until 8 o'clock, and the answer will be revealed soon."

At this moment, the Weasley family was a microcosm of countless wizarding families in England. Even the drunkards still drowning their sorrows in the Leaky Cauldron hadn't forgotten to remind old Tom to bring him a copy of the latest issue of The Quibbler's Digest when it arrived.

Throughout the entire wizarding world, from the Minister of Magic's office hidden deep underground to the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts by the lake, lights were on.

Time ticked by, and finally, at exactly 8 p.m., countless owls flew out of Lovegood’s house carrying the latest, heavy edition of “Sing the Quibbles”!

There were 15 minutes left until 8 p.m.

Severus, Harry, Sinney, and Wolpe are sitting in front of the windmill looking at the stars.

The night sky was exceptionally clear tonight, without a single cloud, and the stars shone brightly, as if the entire sky were winking at them.

"That's Centaurus. According to Centaurus astrology, if this constellation is particularly bright tonight, it means good luck is about to happen."

Severus was giving Harry a lesson, and Harry, who was completely clueless about magic at the moment, gave some sharp comments.

"It sounds like a centaur bragging."

"When you have the chance, you can go to the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts and give such an evaluation to the centaur tribe living there in person."

Volpe was filled with a desire to broaden his knowledge.

"I've never seen centaurs when I was at Hogwarts. Are they a humble race that can take a joke?"

“No,” Severus retorted. “If Dudley had said that to his face, those centaurs would have kicked him with their hooves.”

Harry looked pale and shook his head.

“I certainly wouldn’t say that to their faces.”

“I’ll tattle on them,” Severus teased his student.

Harry continued to shake his head.

"Then I promise I will never enter that forbidden forest!"

"Don't make any promises. I can't say anything else, but I'm sure you can't do it if you don't go into the Forbidden Forest."

Severus rose from the ridge, ending his stargazing conversation.

"It's almost time; the potion is ready to be prepared."

Hearing his words, Xueni became invigorated.

At this moment, he was like a completely different person from during the day. He had changed into a beautiful suit, and his hair had been carefully styled. Coupled with his uniquely handsome face as a vampire, he even had seven-tenths of Severus's charm!

Patty, carried by Henni, arrived at the center of the still-barren field where tulip seeds had been sown.

The moonlight shone on them, like a hazy veil.

Neither Harry nor Wolpe approached them, while Severus added a final drop of thyme tincture to the cooled potion concentrate.

The originally light red medicine quickly turned a darker color.

After handing the fully completed potion to Bloodny, Severus walked over to Harry and the others and then gently waved his wand.

The growth regulators that had been sprayed into the soil during the day began to take effect.

Countless tender buds sprouted from the soil like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. They grew at an extremely fast speed, and soon pure white flower buds appeared, preparing to bloom under the moonlight at a speed visible to the naked eye!

At that moment, Blood Nymph gently looked at the girl in his arms and carefully fed her the potion.
