HP: Let professors walk towards the light

After Reina finished speaking, Snape fell silent.

After a long time, the hand on Reina's eyes was removed, and Reina felt a lot warmer. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt that her mood was not so bad.

When Reina suddenly opened her eyes, her vision was a little blurry. She blinked hard to see Professor Snape's face clearly, but Snape turned around, leaving her with a dark back.

"Those questions are beyond the scope of the curriculum. They are not what you have been exposed to so far. Your potions are already very good compared to those idiots who get 'P' every day."

He slowly moved away from Reina.

"If you can't find a reason to live, just live so that your old professor can have another outstanding student... From what you said just now, I can understand that you are affected by the Dementors, but in the future, I don't want to hear these words that are more mature than me from a little kid again."

Reina's vision cleared up again, and she watched Professor Snape slowly walk towards the door.

"Then - can I still come to your office to see you?" Reina called him.

"It better not be a simple basic question, otherwise I will still kick you out of the office."

He agreed.

Reina smiled brightly as she watched Snape's figure walking away.

"Thank you, Professor."

She saw that Professor Snape seemed to pause, but the familiar voice still reached Lena's ears.

"This is what I should do. Have a good rest."

I will work hard to become better and live a good life.

The sun outside the window has parted the clouds, and warm, soft rays of light have fallen, dispelling the remaining chill of winter. The spring after the snow melts will not be empty. On the contrary, the once unfathomable loneliness is now slowly filled with bright colors, and a bright painting is quietly being painted.

Thank you very much, Professor Snape.

From then on, Reina began to study Potions almost obsessively. She would even find an abandoned classroom to practice constantly on potions she had already learned to improve the quality. She was indifferent to everything in the outside world. She spent all her time studying required courses, only occasionally listening to Draco and Pansy's complaints in the lounge to get information. She was almost becoming a Ravenclaw.

After listening to Pansy's description of her, Reina couldn't help but think of the day of first-year sorting. The Sorting Hat once thought of sorting her to Hufflepuff. If there was another sorting, it might really give her the choice of Ravenclaw.

Reina also heard that the professors caught Sirius Black, but he was rescued by his accomplices while imprisoned in the Sky Tower. The Ministry of Magic also withdrew the Dementors near Hogwarts, but it was mainly because Gryffindor's savior Potter was harmed by the Dementors.

Hearing this, Reina frowned.

"It's funny, isn't it?" Draco glanced at her expression and leaned on the sofa with an uninhibited look. "Hermalena, weren't you kissed by a Dementor before? That must not have been a pleasant feeling, and Dumbledore just applied for compensation for you. It's a pity that you don't even have a backer. Look at Potter, the Minister of Magic came in person to withdraw the Dementors."

Draco's words did make people feel angry, as if all this revolved around Potter... But on second thought, as a nobody, Reina would naturally not receive much care, so what Draco said was not wrong.

However, for Lena, she did not really believe that a baby would become the savior who defeated Voldemort. If she said that this was using Potter as bait to divert Voldemort's attention, she could accept it. So she did not envy Potter, but more sympathized with Potter's rough life. From the beginning of school to now, Potter has also experienced many major events.

Besides, no matter who becomes the savior, it won't be her turn. Moreover, Reina doesn't have the heart to be a hero who saves the world. She is sure that the feeling of being on the Daily Prophet and having everyone adore her is not even one thousandth of the joy she felt when the professor said he remembered her that night. That kind of life is not suitable for her. As for the Dementors, it was naturally her bad luck that she happened to be walking on that road and was attracted by them in a good mood. However, being rescued by Professor Snape in time was a kind of luck.

Professor Snape told the entire Slytherin that Professor Lupin was a dangerous werewolf. Many students panicked and wrote to their parents asking them to fire him, including Draco. Although Malfoy was removed from the school board because of what happened in his second year, his family connections were still there.

But Reina felt it was a pity. After all, he was the only Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher that satisfied her so far.

That night, Reina was brewing the most difficult potion of the semester in the cellar office. She couldn't help but talk about it with Professor Snape. She felt that she didn't learn anything particularly useful from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. The frequent changes of professors not only required her to adapt to their different teaching styles, but also each professor had a different focus. She finally learned something, but when she was ready to go deeper, the professor changed.

“Is there anything you really want to learn?”

Snape heard the hidden meaning in her words, "It sounds like you like Lupin's teaching very much."

"It's not that I like them, but compared to the first two, I learned a few things, such as how to deal with those dark magic creatures."

"Humph, that's all he's good for."

Professor Snape said with some contempt.

"If there is something you want to learn, I can teach you with some difficulty."

Lena seemed to see a proud expression on the professor's face. Yes, I heard that Professor Snape had also applied to be a teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts before, but was rejected by Dumbledore.

"Really? Then can I also ask you for advice on potions?" Today is definitely Reina's happiest... and second happiest day.

"A week... three times at most. Counting Potions, I don't have that much free time."

Professor Snape is really inconsistent. He was the one who proposed it, but now he says he doesn't have time -

But it doesn’t matter, at least this means that Professor Snape has recognized her efforts, Reina thought to herself.

"Can I learn the magic you used to drive away the Dementors when you saved me last time? I read in a book that the spell to drive away the Dementors is the Patronus Charm, and the book also says that this magic can become very powerful."

"Got it... Let's stop here today. Go back and remember the key points for yourself. We'll talk about it next time you come."

Professor Snape was correcting homework without even looking up.

"Then this potion..." Reina looked at the operation that her subordinates had not yet completed.

"Leave it there. Your performance today deserves an "E". You can go back now."

"Okay, I'll go back then."

Reina cleaned up the table and said goodbye to Snape.

"Well, take your late return certificate."

"Goodnight, Professor."
