"I'm trying to say - you bastards, why are you in my office? Sure enough, the Malfoys have fallen to the point where they can break into their rooms at will, regardless of their master's wishes? And you, Miss Granger, why haven't you been to dinner for a few days? Don't you know that the dinner party on the last day of each semester is attended by all teachers and students of the school? So—Gryffindor buckles—"

Before Severus could finish speaking, Hermione "blocked" the rest of the words with a piece of pastry.

"Professor McGonagall has come to inform me 'personally' that I don't have to attend today's dinner."

As for the reason - naturally because there are too many little trolls attending this "last dinner", and Hermione's "condition" is not yet well, so many small changes are gathered there, which will make Hermione "frightened".

And Professor McGonagall, who was worried about Hermione, also specially informed the house-elves in the kitchen and asked them to prepare a rich dinner for Hermione.

Even if she was alone in the cold cellar, Miss Granger would not be alone and would be able to enjoy a sumptuous dinner.

During this time, Severus and Hermione were finally able to get along in an "abnormal normal way".

Now Hermione has returned to the cellar to live, and she still has the same room, but all the decorations in it have been replaced by Hermione's habits.

After Hermione's return, Severus was finally free from the boring papers of the little trolls.

(Because Hermione could have those papers graded by herself with just one spell.) Severus, after checking a few times and finding no errors or flaws, stopped paying attention to the "horrible" papers. ）

In addition, as long as Hermione was in the cellar, Draco would always come to Hermione to discuss things, so that even the people who could handle the potions materials were available.

(As for potion materials like toads and slugs — not the stupid lions of Gryffindor, just send a few days of confinement, and that's fine.) ）

Now in the cellar, every day is the case - when Draco is there, he will first process the potion materials, and then follow Severus to study the potions and serve as his assistant.

When everything is done, finally "discuss" with Hermione what to do next?

Previously, when Severus and Draco were busy, Hermione would sit by and look at her book.

If Draco wasn't—then Hermione would have sat on the sidelines, watching Severus in a daze.

Every time Severus looked at Hermione in a daze, there was always a feeling that Hermione was looking through him, looking at someone.

He knew that Hermione was actually looking at another "Severus Snape", the lucky guy.

In fact, at this time, Severus felt uncomfortable listening in his heart.

Severus doesn't admit that he is that person (though he understands that that person is himself), and he doesn't bother to be a stand-in for anyone.

Even if he was really very jealous of the lucky guy in Hermione's memory.

But every time he thought of Hermione's madness at that "Severus Snape" time, and the relieved expression on his face when he committed suicide, he couldn't help but want to be nice to Hermione.

He himself is a person who cannot be happy, he is a sinner, but if he can, he still wants the people around him to be happy.

Especially - Hermione, who is considered to have a "great relationship" with herself.

Although he couldn't respond to Hermione's feelings, he could still do it with her like this.

In fact, he himself has been lonely for too long, and for more than ten years, even if he is accompanied by his most beloved potion, he still occasionally feels lonely.

This time, let him be willful once!

Lucius watched the interaction between Severus and Hermione with a twinkle in his eyes.

It's so much fun!

Before that, he couldn't believe that anyone would be able to stand there intact after treating Severus like that.

This is a miracle comparable to Merlin's life!

Lucius is really curious now, what is the magic of this little witch of the hemp seed that makes Xiaolong trust and get close?

Draco immediately stepped forward to talk to his godfather when he saw his godfather's darkening face, fearing that his godfather would trouble Hermione.

Looking at Severus's face, I was afraid that he was already on the verge of becoming Draco's instinct.

"Min-do you have any plans for the holidays?"

"Arrangement? Take care of the accumulated work first, then take a break and relax, so that you can continue to play with Dumbledore next semester. By the way, Draco will show me your memories of today's dinner, I'm really curious about Dumbledore's expression after seeing the Philosopher's Stone, it will be very exciting. ”

"If I were you, I would know what is enough. Dumbledore is an existence that even mysterious people fear, so naturally he has his advantages. This time you were just taken by surprise, and Dumbledore will definitely not give you a chance next school year. ”

"Dear Seaver, you are wrong! Dumbledore had been on the altar for too long, and he was too - 'self-righteous' now. He didn't believe that anyone would rebel against him, or even calculate him. So 'with a mind but without a mind', the next year he - still lost. ”

And Hermione wouldn't be stupid about herself or letting the Slytherin snakes do anything.

There are four Hogwarts houses, some of which are substitutes for the dead, and she is not in a hurry at all.

"So what is Min going to do the next year?"

"You'll know when the time comes!"

"Okay!"

Hearing Hermione say this, Draco didn't ask, he knew that if Min didn't want to say, it would be useless for him to ask.

"When Min is on vacation, let's come and live in Malfoy Manor!"

Hermione sold her family's original house after her physical parents were sent to the United States.

Draco and Severus knew these things, too.

After all, during the Christmas holidays, Hermione didn't hide it from them at all.

Lucius Malfoy didn't say anything when he heard Draco's request for Hermione.

After learning about what happened to Draco and them, Lucius was no longer able to treat Hermione like a normal hemp witch.

"No, I've found a place to stay."

"Found a place to stay? When? ”

"Have you forgotten what you said earlier about building an entertainment club? Now the clubhouse has been built. ”

Previously, at Christmas, Hermione, after making enough money, bought a large plot of land in the suburbs of London, and then began to build her own entertainment club.

Hermione didn't care about the money, and a lot of money was thrown down, and the project was naturally built quickly.

It just so happened that Hermione had already picked the opening day, and she would go back just in time for the ribbon cutting.

Because she would spend most of the next six years at Hogwarts on weekdays, at least for the next six years, Hermione wasn't prepared to buy a house in the Muggle world.

So, as before, I kept the top floor of the entertainment club for myself, and lived there after opening it.

Hermione was crooked on the couch, a cocktail in her hand, taking a sip from time to time, looking at the journal on the coffee table in front of her.

A few days after the holiday, Hermione asked for the journal from Lucius through Draco.

Voldemort's Horcruxes, this diary is the most rudimentary, albeit in a different sense.

Holding the journal with her hand untruthfully, feeling the temptation of the soul inside, Hermione smiled.

Sure enough, Voldemort at this time was still too tender.

Dumbledore had Harry Potter as the savior, but what about himself?

Do you want to get a "Dark Lord Three Generations" out too?

I'm going to fight Dumbledore next, but I don't want to take the lead.

Although the Malfoy family has a high status among the nobility, Malfoy is not actually suitable to be a monarch.

According to the ancient court metaphor, Malfoy is more suitable to be a favored vassal.

They will "speculate on the divine will" and speculate.

And Severus - the obvious researcher.

In addition, it is very likely that Dumbledore will still stand behind the "first Dark Lord".

In comparison, Voldemort's Death Eaters are actually more like an underworld organization.

There is really no comparison with the saints of the Dark Lord of the Earth generation.

At least they started a world war, and what about the Death Eaters?

It's just that a few "accidents" in Britain are not even terrorist attacks.

Sure enough, if you really do that, you still have to train well.

Thinking so, Hermione put the diary in the jade box that had been prepared a long time ago and sealed it.

When Hogwarts started school again, Hermione returned to class.

After a holiday to recuperate, with the company and explanation of her parents, Hermione's "condition" has improved a lot now, although her personality is not as "lively and cheerful" as before, but she is just a little "introverted and shy".

And Hermione's leg is also during the holidays, and Severus's "unremitting efforts" have almost recovered, although he can't run and jump, but he can walk slowly on his own.

At the same time, because of Hermione's accident, Hermione's "parents" demanded that their daughter still live in the cellar with Severus for the next few years.

In order to ensure that their daughter "does not have accidents again", otherwise, in order to ensure the integrity of their daughter, they do not mind letting their daughter drop out of school and no longer learn those "magic tricks".

In order to prevent Hogwarts, the "best wizarding school in Britain", from dropping out for the first time, Dumbledore had no choice but to agree to the request of the "Grangers".
