I'm playing a big knife at HP

Minerva McGonagall lingered outside Snape's room for a while, but she mustered up the courage to knock on the door—as the head of Gryffindor, Minerva did not lack courage, even if she was about to face It was an apology destined to be embarrassing.

The door was opened.

Although Snape's office and room were well-organized, because there were too many books and all kinds of strange materials, they couldn't give people the impression of being very tidy, but they were never in such a mess.At this moment, Snape's ground was filled with various books, strange creatures soaked in jars, crucibles and equipment of various types and materials, and even clothes, shoes and personal items.Marciana was waving her wand wildly, directing countless books to be sorted into an opened dragon skin box.

"What are you doing?" Minerva clutched her chest.

"Oh, Minerva! You've come just in time." Snape greeted, poking his head out of another room. "Just to tell you—we're going on a trip for a while."

"travel?!"

Marciana wiped her sweat and waved her hand: "That's right. There's no way, now Severus is the traitor most wanted to kill by the uncaught Death Eaters, and he is also the most famous man in the British magic circle." Lover—”

Her words were interrupted by a growl from another room: "Potter will pay for this!!"

Marciana shrugged: "—the story that he had a crush on Lily all his life and was willing to be a double agent for this has spread all over the world, and now he receives such a thick stack of love letters every day." She gestured with half of her arm length, "To be honest, I think some of the love letters are very literary and entertaining to read, but Severus seems to find it very troubled. In short, we feel that the British wizarding world cannot continue, and it is still temporarily It's better to leave."

"That's not the case!" Snape's displeased voice came from the next room, "It's not that I can't stay any longer. I'm going to watch Dumbledore, so that he doesn't die for no reason and drag me down for nothing. "

Minerva was even more confused: "Albus and he..."

"Traveling was originally Albus's idea. He said that he planned to travel to Europe as soon as he graduated from Hogwarts, but he didn't make it. Now he wants to go for a while while he's in good health." Marciana While furtively wrapping up the several-foot-thick pink letter and stuffing it into the dragon leather box, "Didn't Severus swear an unbreakable oath to 'fulfill the orders of the Dark Lord'. I said the puppet is dead, and the black The Demon King is also dead, this oath should be considered fulfilled, but he is always worried."

Minerva heard Dumbledore mention this oath, and found it really tricky.Marciana explained: "There was no time limit when Narcissa asked him to swear, so Severus thought that as long as Dumbledore died at his hands in the end, everything would be safe."

McGonagall was horrified to hear her two ex-colleagues discuss the murder of another ex-colleague so calmly.

"Severus prepared a potion that would allow Dumbledore to take it himself at the end of his life... I don't think it's necessary." Marciana muttered, "No matter how I speculate, I feel that the oath has been fulfilled. I think Severus is looking for an excuse to travel with Albus. Although Albus is very annoying at times, he should be an interesting traveling companion who can play. And this kind of At that time—" she pointed to the large stack of pink letters, "it's better to go abroad to avoid the limelight. Believe me, I have experience: when I was in the newspaper because of the Rolle case, I also received a lot of courtship letters. Well. I told Severus not to worry at all - in a couple of years they'll forget about it and go after Gilderoy Lockharts again!"

Minerva looked around at the empty shelves, and for some reason, a field like "package and run" suddenly appeared in her mind.

She muttered to herself: "It's not like you can't stay in the British wizarding world—you are war heroes, and the Ministry of Magic will award you Merlin Medals next week..."

Minerva didn't understand.You said you won the battle after hard work, and everyone celebrated happily. Why are these two—plus Dumbledore—exuding an aura of fleeing in a hurry?

"Let them send us the medals and prize money," Snape walked out holding a pile of books shrunk down to the size of a matchbox with the Shrinking Curse, "We won't be going to the awards ceremony."

McGonagall saw Snape from when he was still a kid fighting with the Marauders, and his eyes were very sharp: she could hear a hint of shyness from this sentence.The acting principal frowned and thought for a while, then lowered his voice and asked Marciana: "This is a bit abrupt to say, but I am as old as the two of you combined, so it is inevitable that I have to think more about everything. You have no elders, let me ask A question that shouldn't be asked—long-distance travel is quite expensive, how do you plan to afford it? Also, you should be getting married soon? Have you planned all kinds of expenses? Have you prepared the money for the wedding?"

Marciana blushed.

"This...isn't the wedding usually in charge of the bride's family? You know the situation of my family. I donated all of Alastor's inheritance to support the orphans who lost their parents in the war. As for myself——" She waved her hands together Tan, "To be honest, I don't have much savings."

Minerva was no surprise.Although Marciana has worked as an Auror and Hogwarts professor successively since graduation, her salary is quite generous, but this girl's creed in her life is "live a day and earn a day". It costs as much as it costs - she doesn't buy non-top-level broomsticks, which are eliminated faster than clothes, let alone those priceless goblin weapons.

"We don't have to be so old-fashioned," Minerva coughed softly, "I think Severus would be willing to—"

"His deposits are all there." Marciana pointed to the potion ingredients on the floor.

Minerva despaired of the consumption habits of modern youth.The financial situation of these two fighting heroes is really tearful.

After I became the headmaster, she secretly made up her mind to order the Muggle Studies class to include the topic of saving and managing money as compulsory.

Professor McGonagall, who lived a frugal life, had decades of working experience, and considerable savings, pulled Marciana over and said quietly: "If you need it, I can lend it to you first, and there is no rush to pay it back."

"Oh, no need." Marciana didn't care. "Thank you, but it's not a big deal. It's just money. I'll just get some when I need it."

Minerva felt that the word "engagement" was very intriguing, revealing a bit of "I'll go to someone else's Gringotts vault to get some if I'm short of money".Minerva had a lot of worries in her heart, but she still had a little confidence in Marciana's integrity, so she refrained from asking.

She endured this for many years.It wasn't until Marciana and Snape returned to England a few years later, and after Minerva found out that they had gone out to play for a few years that they not only didn't have nothing but got rich, finally couldn't help raising this question.

Marciana smiled after hearing her question: "This! Isn't Severus a very good potionist..."

Minerva nodded inwardly—fortunately, selling potions can be considered legal income.

"...I let him boil a dose of Felicia..."

This development is not quite the same as Minerva thought.

"...Then I took a sip and went to the London Stock Exchange to choose a few stocks. The exchange rate between the British pound and the Gallon is quite good." Marciana rubbed her chin regretfully, "If it wasn't for fear Attracting too much attention hinders the secrecy, and the quickest way to get money should actually be to buy the lottery. You see, I was not a professor of Muggle studies for nothing in those years-the Ministry of Magic didn't know enough about the Muggle world, so Obvious loopholes are not legislated against. My actions, while downright speculative, are not strictly speaking against any wizarding or Muggle laws."

After this conversation, Minerva McGonagall once again forcibly reformed the Muggle Studies class, adding finance and economics.Of course, this is all for later.

Back to the present.

Almost all members of the Order of the Phoenix attended the victory ceremony held by the Ministry of Magic a few days later to commemorate the victory of the Second Wizarding War—after all, the new minister was Kingsley, and his own people still had to join in the celebration.

almost.

Minerva McGonagall alone received four Merlin Medals that day.The always upright head of Gryffindor was forced to tell countless lies, telling everyone who came to inquire with concern that Dumbledore, Marciana, and Snape had to rest quietly due to serious injuries, so they had to ask her to take care of them on their behalf. medal.

Only she knew that the Hogwarts headmaster's office had been cleaned up, and the three of them had gone to Europe for vacation long ago.Seeing Harry, the naive young man who was thrown to the major media in the British wizarding world and struggling to deal with the paparazzi; Sirius, who replaced Snape as a new generation of popular lover because of his twists and turns and was handsome and Lupine, who pressed his friend numbly and skillfully poured the antidote into Sirius' mouth, Minerva felt resentment towards Dumbledore for the first time in her life.

She really wants to go on vacation in Europe, damn it.
