Chapter Seventy-Four: Goodbye (1)

"Potter, come in. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Could it be that you are eating your last meal?" mocking words rang out behind Harry Potter.

In desperation, Harry could only staggered into the reception room, and Harry had no idea about his "family", at least he didn't think the Dursleys would be willing to come and watch his game.

Harry Potter was the last to appear in the reception room, but when he entered, everyone was talking to their families, and no one was aware of his entry except for Gabrie, Holly, and Penny.

When Harry Potter was caught in Mrs. Weasley's arms, Penny's shoulders moved, and then quickly calmed down.

"Let's go, Holly, maybe I can take this opportunity to meet some old friends. ”

"Old friends?"

"Well, old friend. Penny stood up, and Holly followed suit, and walked out of the doorway on the other side, leaving the three groups in the room talking about themselves.

Penny's first stop is the Potions classroom.

The Potions classroom was on the basement level, close to the common rooms of Sletherin and Hufflepuff, and of course, Snape's office.

The Potions exam has ended, in fact, the Potions class classroom at this time is actually placed with all kinds of students' masterpieces, and its colors are more colorful than all kinds of potions added to Holey, but the effect of these potions is difficult to determine...... At the very least, maybe a poisoning potion for some people is actually a lethal killer potion......

Holly pushed the door open, and Penny walked down the steps into the classroom.

"Who?" Snape was a little unhappy that someone was interrupting his grading work, but almost no one who was able to hang out in the castle at this time cared about his rants, so he didn't start taunting.

"It's rare that Severus Snape doesn't have a poisonous tongue, is he a change of character or doesn't know how to speak?" said Penny, standing in the doorway. The not tall figure, combined with the light coming in from behind, left a huge shadow in the classroom, which was lit only by candles on the walls.

"Penny Evans. Snape struggled to pronounce the name, and then didn't know what to say. Then turn his gaze to Holly.

"You invited her?"

Holly nodded.

"Why don't you invite me to your office for a drink?" Penny interrupted Snape's desire to continue to get more news from Holly.

"You're not afraid I'll give you a cup of poison?"

"If you really want to do that, at least I won't be alive now. Penny replied lightly, looking around. "In those years, you secretly did it with Lily alone, and that's all?"

"......" Snape didn't respond, just led the way in front, waving his wand casually, and the things that were originally scattered in various corners were instantly neatly organized and returned to their places.

Walking along the shelves of hundreds of large glass jars, Penny looked at them with an uncertain emotion.

Snape's office was not small, but most of the place was occupied by all kinds of potion materials, and the rest of the place was also a variety of cauldrons, all kinds of materials floating in the air, and knives of different materials were volleying in the air to turn materials into various shapes, or dice, or slice, or squeeze out the juice.

"Sit down. Snape finally cleaned up a table for the guests, conjured two chairs, and a glass of juice, floated in front of Penny.

Naturally, taking the juice from the air, Penny didn't say anything, just stared at Professor Snape. Again, Snape didn't say anything, just thinking about something.

Holly was a little embarrassed on the sidelines.

"Go and help me review my sixth-grade stuff. Snape thought about it, but told Holly to leave for the time being.

"Well, okay. The low air pressure in the room also made Holly a little uncomfortable.

"Why didn't you contact me?" asked Penny after Holly left.

"How am I going to contact you? Contact you and let you be tortured to death by the Dark Lord?"

"Dark Lord, and after that, since Dumbledore sent Harry to me, I'm sure you'll know about it. ”

"That's right...... But as you can see, it's not just Harry. ”

"You mean...... Lily entrusted Holly to you, and then Harry to me?"

"No, Holly was an accident, and Harry, it's just that Dumbledore entrusted him to you. ”

"What's going on? about Holly. ”

"Looks like you haven't been back to Spidertail Alley since you married that pig. Snape turned on the poisonous tongue skill again, only this time, Penny didn't refute.

"Yes, that's right. I don't want to go back, because when I do, I'll remember what I used to look forward to life, you know?"

"But Lily kept trying to help you, and she almost succeeded. Snape said.

"What?" Petunia was a little surprised.

"Evil black magic requires human blood as a sacrifice. Snape said lightly. "Even at the height of the fighting, Lily didn't forget to look for something about it. ”

"No...... No......"

"If you've been back to Spidertail Alley before, maybe you've got the idea......," Snape continued. "But...... Not anymore. ”

"What do you mean?"

"It didn't mean anything, everything was lost that day. The day Dumbledore left that Harry Potter on your doorstep. ”

"......" Penny was a little confused, not knowing what to say.

"Well, don't talk about these things to anyone......" Snape threatened.

"Why?"

"Why? If you don't want to be wiped out by the Ministry of Magic, if you want Harry Potter to wander the streets and die outside one day, you can give it a try. Oh, by the way, if you do that, it's no one else who does it, it's Helly. ”

"......" Penny thought for a long time, but agreed. "Well, I'll keep it a secret. ”

"Hmmm......"

The two of them fell silent again, and at this time, in the potions classroom outside, Holly was busy with a pile of potions from various sixth-year students.

There's nothing too special about it, just pick it up, shake it, take a look, or take a little bit and add something else into it...... There are all sorts of corresponding evaluations on the parchment, such as what the student did less at a certain step, what a little more material was added to a certain step, and so on......

By the time Holly realized that the office had been silent for a long time, the sixth-graders' grades had been largely completed.

"If you don't have anything else to talk about, maybe we should go to the next place......" Holly walked in, handing Snape a thick roll of parchment.

"Well, Severus, goodbye. ”

"Goodbye. ”
