The happiness of HP

Chapter 49 Prelude to Flying Lessons

The potion masters’ investigation was only two days on the weekend. When they left, they had also negotiated with the negotiators sent by the British Wizengamo—I have to say that this Wizengamo is a rare efficiency. As a result, both parties had to take a step back——

Wizengamo promised President Olinso that he would no longer interfere with Severus' freedom, and return the assets that belonged to Severus that had been confiscated or frozen intact.Then compensated for a series of damages including personal injury and reputational damage, totaling 600 million Galleons.Of course, the fee was too high for Wizengamo to come up with cash.So under the initiative of Severus, Wizengamo transferred all the private collections of the nobles that were not received in the war to Severus at the price of cabbage of 10 nats each. A magical manor confiscated as an ownerless manor that was not in a good location and could not be auctioned off was discounted to Severus for 500 million Galleons.But even so, Severus still got an extra 10 Galleons.

President Olinso's request that Wizengamo publicly apologize to Severus and publish an apology letter in the "Daily Prophet" for half a month has not been fulfilled.And Severus himself wasn't very interested in appearing in the newspaper for half a month, he got enough anyway.Of course, the outraged Olinso readily raised the potion production fee for the British Wizengamo and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, which made Wizengamo very heartbroken and did not dare to say anything more, after all, for Weizengamo For those politicians in Sengama, there is nothing like the face they have always had.

In this negotiation, in fact, both the Potions Association and Severus benefited, but I'm afraid Severus got more.Not only did he have freedom from being hunted down, but he also got a pile of precious books and an empty manor.

Speaking of those books, they are really superb.When the Dark Lord fell, there were many nobles who followed him, and these people were often sentenced to Azkaban with their families.Most of these aristocratic families are middle-class, and their family background is not strong, but they have a lot of history.Therefore, in addition to the manor, some antiques and old books have also become confiscated items. The current Aeschylus chief of Wizengamo only likes antiques and manors, not books, so these rich Books are waste paper for many people.There were a few knowledgeable people who chose to go, but most of them were black magic books that were easy to cause accidents when they were taken out. In addition, there were so many books that it was difficult to manage.So the deal satisfies both parties.

As for the selection of the manor, Draco and Blaise took it over with great enthusiasm.They said they would give Severus and the Redeemer a nice place to stay for the holidays.

Of course, since the reporters were all silenced, the complex political shady scenes and struggles for power that this investigation revealed were somewhat obscure to those outside the circle.Therefore, for Severus to be free, the lion cubs protested very much, and it also surprised the eaglets and badgers.However, no amount of protest will help.The parents wrote to the Ministry of Magic very worried after they found out, but the reply was always the same: Severus Snape was a spy for the Order of the Phoenix, so there was nothing to worry about.When everyone waited and thought that the return of Severus would change the entire school system, they unexpectedly discovered that the school was still a school, and it had not become a stronghold of Death Eaters, or added the danger of black magic teaching zone.This reassured the parents, and relieved the little eagles and little badgers, but it was different for the little lions. They couldn't understand and didn't know what was going on. Some rumors began to circulate-Snape was not only the one who killed Dumbledore, but also the one who killed Harry Potter.

Regarding this, although Apollo and Artemis who knew it felt ridiculous, they didn't say much, which made Severus very satisfied with the wisdom of the two children.

Flying lessons are compulsory for the first year, and because it involves the Hogwarts Quidditch Cup, it tends to start in October.And the first Quidditch Cup in November is about to begin.

At breakfast time on the day of the first-year flying lesson, the young wizards from the Gryffindor wizarding families in the Hogwarts hall were all talking about their flying journey. These Gryffindor first-year students even It is an exaggeration to say that he is flying with the plane on a broomstick, and he can even fly over the Muggle plane.Apollo and Artemis declined to comment on this. Although they have never flown before, they have learned about the structure of some flying broomsticks for flying lessons. They know very well that even the most advanced third-generation sleepwalkers are faster than Not a fifth of the speed of a Muggle plane.

However, the two of them didn't believe it, but some people believed it.

"Tell you, Mr. Potter is a flying master, as is his father. Mr. Potter is the youngest and best Seeker ever in Gryffindor College and Hogwarts." Gryffindor On the long table, Viktoria, who has Veela blood, said excitedly in a shrill voice, "So, as his godson, Teddy can also fly very handsomely. Next month's Academy Cup, Teddy will inherit his godfather's role. Gryffindor's Seeker, the Quidditch Cup will definitely be Gryffindor's for the next six years."

"Oh, really? Edward must be the hero of the new generation of Gryffindor..." The Gryffindor table was extremely lively.

Edward Lupine, sitting at the Gryffindor table, relished being the center of attention.Ever since he was upstaged that day by two young Slytherins, he was embarrassed and had a hard time holding his head up in front of his friends.He already regarded those two Slytherins as his number one enemy - sure enough, Slytherins were not very good stuff.At this moment, he took a peek at the Slytherin table and found that the two little Slytherins didn't seem to take it seriously at all, which made Edward even more unhappy.Well, you just pretend - Edward thought.

"Severus, can we discuss it?" Flitwick looked at the excitement at the long table in Gryffindor, and said to Severus with some taste.

"What's the matter?" Severus was thinking about the possibility of the hypothesis about the potion suggested by his two brats last night.

"Well, you see, there aren't enough Slytherins for a Quidditch team, are there?" Flitwick probed.

"Obviously. So…" Severus raised a half eyebrow.

"I'd love to get those two boys for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team if I could," Flitwick said.

"I thought it was at least next year?" Severus said.

"Oh, Severus, I have no doubt that they have inherited your talents well from both of you, Severus, you know that Harry was on the Gryffindor Quidditch team in his first year , can you..." Flitwick said.

"I'm sorry, Felius, I'm not Albus on this matter, and I won't make an exception for them." Severus said flatly.

"Well then, Severus, next year you'll have to consider my request," Felius said.

"Oh, Felius, aren't you afraid that they didn't inherit Harry's talent, but Severus?" Professor Shacklebolt said unconvinced.

"You don't know that, do you? Kingsley, although Severus's flying talent was not as good as that of James and Sirius back then, he was still better than Luping and others." Professor McGonagall said impartially.

"Then why didn't he join the Quidditch team?" Professor Shacklebolt asked curiously.

"I'm half-breed, so the Slytherin Quidditch team didn't consider me at all." Severus said dryly, "Also, after watching a Quidditch match, it became clear to me: Quidditch Odd is just one of many methods of suicide."

"Oh, poor Severus, that game in your first year was a bit brutal." Professor Sprout added.

"What do you mean by 'somewhat barbaric'? All 14 people were injured and passed out, and then they were put on the bench, and another 10 were injured before the end. Merlin, that is simply unreasonable." Madam Pomfrey recalled.

"Which college and which college?" Professor Shaker confirmed.

"Except for Slytherin and Gryffindor, which two colleges will have such a spark?" Professor McGonagall said, "And it's in that era."

"Oh, that's true." Professor Shaker said understandingly.

"By the way, Rolanda, you seem to have said in June that two old school brooms broke again. Have you fixed them?" Professor McGonagall suddenly remembered this question.

"It can't be repaired, I'm afraid you have to buy some brooms. And there are two more first-year students this year than last year, so I borrowed four from some senior students." Mrs. Hooch said.

"In that case, why didn't you update it in time?" Severus frowned.

"Sorry, Severus, I was so busy during the summer that I forgot to do it." Professor McGonagall knew it was negligent, "And I thought the elves at Hogwarts could be repaired."

"Okay, I'll ask the school trustees headed by Malfoy if they can use some funds to buy broomsticks." Severus said after thinking for a while.

"Oh, that would be wonderful." Mrs. Hooch was delighted to hear the news.

"But, Rolanda, I'm afraid the money won't be too much..." Severus couldn't guarantee that he would get a lot of funds, after all, the nobles were in a depression right now.

"It's okay, Severus, even Nimbus 1000 is better than it is now." Mrs. Hooch was satisfied.

After breakfast, the Slytherin twins decided to go to the library for an hour to ease their fear of the unknown flying lessons.The professors all have classes. Although Professor McGonagall and Severus have no classes this morning, there are some affairs that need to be handed over. After all, Professor McGonagall has decided to retire in June next year, so when she is free these few days, she I have been dealing with the settlement for the past 12 years, and it is finally done today.So, after breakfast, Severus followed Professor McGonagall to the eighth floor.

Hogwarts, library

"Good morning, Mrs. Pince." When Apollo and Artemis came to the library, there were only a few Ravenclaw seniors.

"Oh, you are here. Don't you have class today?" Mrs. Pince and the two children are already very familiar.

"Ten o'clock, flying lesson." Artemis said with a smile.

"Oh, it's all because of the spiritual mist. Otherwise, the weather is good today." Mrs. Pince talked about the weather.

"Oh, but I heard that the wind is very strong in the afternoon." Apollo said.

"Yes, but I'm afraid this fog won't dissipate in another ten years. Those in the Ministry of Magic just eat dry food." Mrs. Pince was a little depressed, "So, do you want to return the books today?"

"Yes, ma'am, I will return these two books to you." Artemis said, "Then, we will go to the rune area to have a look."

"Go."
