Chapter Forty-Eight: Lockdown owed to Snape

Vio woke up early the next morning, looking at the ceiling, which was covered with ice-blue cornflower petals, and from time to time some silver pollen and blue petals fell from the air, which had dissipated before she could touch Vio. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

She froze for a moment, then crawled out of the warm velvet quilt and walked barefoot to the desk in front of the window and sat down.

It was already freezing and snowy outside, and there were snowflakes piled up on the windowsill, blurring her vision from afar.

Vio hurriedly gave away the gifts he had prepared for Harry, Ron, and Hermione. The gifts she bought on the day she drove back to London and accompanied her mother around Diagon Alley.

Seeing that she had bought a few gifts, Mrs. Antrell seemed very happy, and felt that she had made many good friends.

She gave Harry a quick-acting cleaning kit to clean broom branches, and Ron a lanolin candy with a very small amount of elixir that would be sweet all day long.

Hermione was given a copy of Gilderoy Lockhart's "Looking Down on the Giants from Above" from the Blotted Bookstore, which she had read in the library, and although the author was talking nonsense, it was fun to use as a pastime.

At noon, the owls of the House of Santriel brought gifts from the Harry trio to VIO, and then from the Malfoy family to the Santrill family.

The Malfoys' gift was a long rosewood box containing the richness of Loulan silk, which was opened to reveal a silver dagger with countless precious stones on the hilt.

Mr. and Mrs. Antrell took the dagger in their hands and looked at it for a long time, evidently overjoyed.

"This is a precious antique from Gu Loulan, and it is said that this sword has their own unique magic. Listening to Narcissa, Lucius also used a big connection of the Department of International Magical Affairs for it, Cyril, dear, you must be very happy now. ”

"Yes, Cassie, I can imagine Lucius's old fox distressed, yes, I'm afraid there is a credit to Narcissa in this gift. ”

"But we're going to have to comfort Narcissa tonight, and VIO, and you need to apologize to Draco. Mrs. Santrill glanced at Vio, who was pretending to be reading a book.

"What?what's wrong with VIO?" Mr. Santrill didn't know what was going on at the station.

Mrs. Santriel replied lightly, "It's nothing, it's just that Vio accidentally bumped into Draco when he got out of the car." ”

But Lucius said that his precious son was already in bed and couldn't get up・・・・・・ no wonder he did everything he could to bring the conversation to education yesterday...... Hahahaha. Mr. Sontrell could not hold back when he spoke, and the conversation changed sharply, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and smiling merrily. "Vio, well done. Finally got a game back from Lucius for his father. ”

Vio was amused, nodded again and again, and assured him, "Dad, I will definitely continue to work hard." She was starting to like her "father" a little, she thought.

But Mrs. Sontrell couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Cyril! You're going to teach bad vio like that. ”

"Alright, alright, I'm not going to say that, so let's go to Malfoy Manor to visit, by the way, see if there's anything we can do to help, and I think they'd be more than welcome - if we go and support ・・・・・・ now."

"By the way, Sigoness, don't forget those things, can you send them to Professor Snape before you leave today?"

"Okay, brother and sister-in-law. Sigoness nodded coldly.

Vio sensitively caught "Professor Snape", who was sending something to her professor? Could it be that they knew Snape well, too? Or was Snape her godfather like Draco's godfather—wouldn't it?

When his parents' backs disappeared behind the glass door, Vio leaned in and said to Sigoness, who was casually flipping through a thick book, "Auntie, Mom and Dad asked you to send Professor Snape something? Do you want me to help? I can tell you the professor's address in detail—"

Sigoness put down the book, straightened out some of the folds in her long silk sleeves, then patted the couch next to her and said to Vio, "Sit down here." ”

VIO looked at his aunt, who was expressionless, but her eyes were warm, swallowed her saliva, and suddenly became a little nervous. She searched for the previous memories in her mind, ah, her relationship with this aunt was very ordinary, and she had just done a fairly normal thing. It's not too intimate and it's never distant.

She moved over and sat down next to Sigoness as naturally as she could, and then she stole a glance at Aunt Sigoness, her back straightening and sitting more upright.

"My brother and sister-in-law said that your Potions class is not very good. Tell me, what was the last homework grade Professor Snape gave you?" Sigoness's voice was ethereal and soft, very relaxing. She didn't tell Vio the answer directly, but asked her an irrelevant question.

Vio said confusedly, "E-[E: Good]. ”

Hearing her answer, Sigoness seemed to be out of control, and her amber eyes blinked violently several times, as if she saw something that shouldn't exist. She muttered, "That's really not good. No wonder you forgot to go to confinement, and Snape didn't remind you to do so. ”

It sounded like Snape was desperate for her ability to make potions, but, well, it was a middling grade among her classmates.

"Well, I think, the professor may have forgotten—" Vio argued.

"He didn't," Sigonice's eyes sank, "my brother and sister-in-law have been providing cheaper potions for his research lately. ”

"What?" Vio couldn't help but raise his voice, "You're saying - I didn't finish Snape's confinement and wasn't expelled from Slytherin because my parents bought him cheap and precious potions?"

Sigoness nodded, looking a little sad.

The main reason is that she has been tortured by Snape's request too many times in the International Potions Trade Management and Adjudication Department recently, and the potion materials he wants are very scarce and expensive, but Snape does not want gifts from the Santriel family, and she can't get too many gold gallons, so she can only go back and forth between the suppliers of medicinal materials again and again・・・・・・

It's hard to look back on the past. She came back to her senses, her eyes burning at her niece.

"I'll make up for your homework in the future, and I'll make sure you're up to the level you deserve in all your subjects. ”

Vio's eyes rolled to look around, his cheeks hot. She exclaimed, "My Charms class and Transfiguration class seem pretty good, and I've gotten ・・・・・ on my last two homework."

"Ah, yes, when I was in school, Professors McGonagall and Flitwick easily gave O[O: Excellent]. How about your history of magic and astronomy and flying lessons?" Sigoness said naturally, as if it were rare to take McGonagall and Flitwick's class without getting an o.

No, Vio had a vague feeling that she seemed to think that all classes deserved to be ok in order to be normal - that, wasn't that what Hermione would think?

Vio finally believes that her aunt is a Ravenclaw graduate.
