Chapter 877: Snape in a hurry
After returning to the room and there were no outsiders, Liu Yu took off the old clothes he had endured for nearly two days and replaced them with the new clothes he bought at Madame Morkin's robe shop today. Putting on clothes with well-tailored and beautiful styles, Liu Yu picked up all the things he bought today with one hand, and took out the golden snitch-shaped pendant hanging around his neck from the collar with the other hand, and clenched it. Almost immediately, Liu Yu felt the feeling of his navel being hooked as described in the novel, and after a whirlwind, Liu Yu's feet finally stepped on the ground again.
"Oh, after more than ten years, someone finally came, and I thought the Potter family was dead!" As soon as Liu Yu landed, the voice of a very energetic old man came from his ears.
"It's really worthy of being a descendant of the Potter family, only seven or eight years old when he uses the door key, he can do it without changing his face, and he doesn't have an uncomfortable expression at all!" Another old man's voice said.
Then, before the third old man spoke, Liu Yu, who had seen the surrounding environment clearly, took the lead in correcting the mistake of the second old man, more precisely, the second portrait: "I am eleven years old this year. The cold voice made the huge room fall silent all of a sudden, and Liu Yu's mature, steady and indifferent temperament that did not match his age at all made the portraits in the room not know what to say for a while.
Yes, portraits. Liu Yu had already seen clearly that there was not a single living person in the room where he was standing now, and there were only portraits on the wall, dozens of them.
When he went to Gringotts that day to take out the family property, Liu Yu accidentally found a pendant in the shape of a golden snitch hidden under the heavy gold galleons, and a golden note with a similar color to the golden galleons was pressed under the pendant. Taking advantage of the fact that Hagrid and the ring were not paying attention, Liu Yu hung the pendant around his neck, put away the note, and after Hagrid left, Liu Yu took out the note. Only then did I know that the pendant turned out to be the doorkey of Potter Manor!
And that portkey can only be used by those who have the blood of the Potter family, and it is just an ordinary pendant for outsiders. The keys to the Potter vault had always been kept in Dumbledore's possession, and Dumbledore must have been to this vault, perhaps that was why there were only gold gallons, silver sicos, and bronze nat left in it, and there was only a bunch of them.
The Potter family is also a nobleman, how can a noble family's vault only have money, and it is still such a small amount of money, you must know that when Harry went to steal the gold cup in the original book, Bella's vault was full of all kinds of magic items! The key to this Porter Manor happened to be pressed under the Golden Galleon, so it escaped and was discovered by Liu Yu.
Originally, Liu Yu planned to take money from the treasury and buy a house by himself outside. But now that there is such a better choice as Potter Manor, Liu Yu naturally decided to go to Porter Manor first, so there was the previous scene. Although this portkey has a bloodline limit, in the face of the highest level of the universe's "Shura Power", such a ban is just a paper tiger......
From the mouth of Liu Yu, a "descendant". The portrait of the ancestors of the Potter family knows that now the Potter family is the only one left in this world, Liu Yu, and how his parents died and his identity as the savior. From the slice of Liu Yu's life in the first eleven years, I know the reason why Liu Yu is so thin. The reason why he is eleven years old but only seven or eight years old.
The ancestors of the Potter family sighed. The Potter family, which was originally so strong, now has only one lone seedling left, and it still has such a powerful enemy. In order to prevent the bloodline of the Potter family from being severed and killed by the great magician who belonged to the white wizard camp, the portraits of the ancestors of the Potter family first asked the house-elves of the Potter Manor to take Liu Yu to rest, and they urgently discussed Liu Yu's study plan. Be sure to let Liu Yu have a little self-protection ability when he arrives at Hogwarts.
Liu Yu naturally would not object, some professors are much better than his own learning. Although the energy of "magic power" seems a little low-level to Liu Yu now, after all, he has traveled through time and space because of the magic array, changing the fate of the Liu family and himself. Based on this incense, he felt that he needed to master it as well!
In the next few days, Liu Yu fell into intense and fulfilling learning, not to mention, the ancestors of the Potter family are really rich in knowledge, although there is no way to actually practice, but in Liu Yu's mind, just listen to it can comprehend the ground, and a little practice can be completely mastered.
In just a week after arriving at Potter Manor, he had already gone from a partial student who was only proficient in magic circles to an all-round student who could use all the magic in the middle and lower grades of Hogwarts, and his evil level made the ancestors of the Potter family both shocked and delighted. Whoever has such a junior can't be unhappy or proud, right?!
It is not Liu Yu's habit to work behind closed doors, no matter how powerful the ancestors of the Potter family are, they have been dead for so many years, and they don't know anything about modern things at all, so on this day Liu Yu plans to go to Diagon Alley again to buy some books on modern history. Rejecting the house-elf's following, Liu Yu grabbed a handful of Floo powder and went directly from the fireplace into a shop selling potions in Diagon Alley. Except for the clerks in the shop, no one knew that the owner of the largest potion shop in Diagon Alley was actually surnamed Potter.
As soon as Liu Yu came out of the room where the fireplace was located and entered the shop full of all kinds of potions, he immediately felt a gaze that could not be said to be shock, joy or hatred staring at him. In addition to Voldemort and the Death Eaters, are there any other enemies in his current identity?
Looking suspiciously in the direction from which his gaze came, Liu Yu immediately met a pair of cold and empty black eyes. Now the owner of those black eyes was exuding a strong momentum, staring at Liu Yu with a very complicated look. With a tall figure, greasy hair, a tall nose bridge, a black robe, and that complicated look, Liu Yu's mind immediately came up with the man's name and identity - Severus Snape.
Severus Snape, Head of Slytherin at Hogwarts School, the youngest Potions Master in history, betrayed Voldemort for the woman he had a crush on, and was a former Death Eater, now a double agent, Mr. Professor.
The moment he saw Liu Yu, Snape almost immediately put down the potion he was looking at, and with his long legs, he came to Liu Yu in a few steps, and the black corners of his robe were stirred by the magic power, and there were layers of waves behind Snape. He really lives up to his nickname of the old bat.
"Harry Potter?" Staring condescendingly at the little creature in front of him, barely waist-tall, Snape squeezed the name out of his teeth almost word for word.
"Yes, sir." Liu Yu naturally pretended not to know Snape, he raised his head and raised his eyebrows at Snape suspiciously: "Do you know me, this gentleman?" ”
Snape's deep voice was full of suppressed anger, and he sharply confronted Liu Yu, "Who took you away from the Leaky Cauldron?" Also, where have you been this week? ”
Liu Yu's brows also furrowed, and his eyes were dyed with displeasure: "I don't know who gave you the right to question me, but I am not obliged to answer your questions." If it's okay, please get out of the way, I have other things. Although Snape was worried about his own safety, or more precisely about the safety of Lily's son, it was a pity that Liu Yu was not in the mood to stand here and listen to the reprimand.
"Anything else? Yes, the Savior's brain, which is smaller than a troll, can only think of himself. I don't even know how to tell my family and elders when I go out! What are some other things you call them? Running around? Snape's voice revealed a bit of "hate iron does not make steel".
"I repeat, don't stand in my way." Liu Yu looked back at Snape's stormy eyes steadily. The momentum on his body is not weaker than the man in front of him at all! "I don't care what you know my name. But I had no intention of explaining my whereabouts to strangers. After saying that, Liu Yu bypassed Snape and walked towards the door of the potion shop, it was getting closer and closer to the start of school, and it was too difficult to have such a good private tutor after entering Hogwarts, so time naturally could not be wasted.
"Don't go!" Seeing that the boy was actually planning to leave, how could Snape let Harry Potter, who was so hard to find, leave? Directly reached out and grabbed Liu Yu's shoulder. Snape was innocent. He was brewing potions in his office that day, when Dumbledore's old fellow, who didn't care about other people's privacy, suddenly stuck his head out of the fireplace and told him to go to his office immediately.
After such a delay, the potion that had been boiling for five hours was scrapped! Wait until he rushed into Dumbledore's office in a fit of rage. The old bee with his head stuffed with sweets actually told himself that Harry Potter was missing, the savior boy!
If Harry was only James Potter's son, Snape wouldn't care if he was missing or dead, and would even gloat, but he had another identity, Lily's son! On the day he saw Lily's corpse, Snape had sworn that the rest of his life belonged to Lily's son, and that he had lived for so many years to protect Lily's son from Voldemort's hands.
But what did Dumbledore just say? He even said that the little Potter cub who was supposed to be raised like a prince had disappeared after shopping with Hagrid! Hagrid's wand was broken, could it be that his brain was broken? He's a Hogwarts ranger who can't even look down on a child! What's the point of him living?!
Snape swore that if something happened to Lily's son, he would give that bastard half-giant a taste of Avada's Curse, even if he would get a Dementor kiss right away!
But now is not the time to hold anyone responsible, the most important thing at the moment is to find Harry Potter back, and he can only be secretly searched for by himself, if the British wizarding community knows that the savior is missing, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable! Especially if that person could come back at any time......
Snape, who walked out of Dumbledore's office, unconsciously touched his left arm, and under the cover of his sleeve, that ugly mark never disappeared!
For a whole week, Snape left everything behind and searched everywhere for the whereabouts of Harry Potter, but for seven days Snape made no progress except for a trace of a portkey in the house where he lived at the time.
The long and sleepless search quickly exhausted Snape's refreshing potion, so he went to the potion shop today to buy the materials for the refreshing potion, but he didn't expect to meet the person who had made him look for a whole week - Harry Potter!
The boy who looked to be only seven or eight years old, if it weren't for the lightning scar on his forehead and his resemblance to Lily's, Snape would never have been able to combine this boy who exuded a cold and noble temperament with "Harry Potter".
Although it had only been a few minutes, the boy had the impression that he was neither as reckless and arrogant as Potter nor as kind and enthusiastic as Lily. Although he did have a green eye, it was different from Lily's warm emerald green. This young man's eyes are so deep that if you look closely, they even glow with a little purple.
Seeing Snape's hand grabbing it, Liu Yu didn't even move his eyelids, he dodged with a slight movement of his feet, and then continued to walk out.
Don't look at Snape's profound magic power, and his black magic attainments are outstanding, but his body is essentially similar to that of ordinary humans, and he has neither speed nor strength to grab it, let alone Liu Yu, a legendary beginner-level cultivator, even an ordinary new martial artist of the dark energy level can easily dodge it!
"Wait. Harry Potter, I'm Severus Snape, Hogwarts Potions professor, and I think we need to have a good talk. Snape could see that this Harry Potter would never go with him if he didn't make it clear, and he couldn't pull out his wand in public. So I can only tell my identity, which should allow this vigilant teenager to calm down and listen to himself.
Really. After Snape said this. Liu Yu stopped, turned around and looked at him with those cold and deep eyes for a while, and agreed to talk to him.
The crowded potion shop was definitely not a good place to talk, especially after Snape called out the name Harry Potter to Liu Yu, and the customers in the potion shop looked at him with sparkling eyes, Liu Yu was sure. If it weren't for Snape, the notorious Potions professor, he would have been surrounded by a large number of "fans", just like Harry did when he first entered the Cauldron in the books.
The place where Snape took Liu Yu was the Leaky Cauldron Bar, and it was the same room where Liu Yu lived at the time. After entering the room. Liu Yu consciously found a chair and sat down, then looked at Snape, signaling that he had something to say now.
Looking at Liu Yu's natural movements and the faint aura of a superior, Snape grinded his teeth, but he had a suspicion about where Liu Yu had lived all these years. Even if he lives like a prince, the heir of the Malfoy family, the first nobleman in the British wizarding world, and his godson Draco is not as light and imposing as the boy in front of him, is there any family whose education can compare to Malfoy?!
"How did you get out of this room one day?" Snape asked.
"Portkey." Liu Yu didn't hide Snape, anyway, he had to find a reason to explain his whereabouts these days, it was better to tell the truth directly, and I am afraid that the lie would not be able to hide the double agent in front of him.
At the beginning, he avoided people because he was worried that his actions would be hindered, but now that he has found Potter Manor and signed the inheritance contract, he has all the movable and real estate belonging to the Potter family except for some magical items and gold gallons that were taken away by Dumbledore in the vault, so naturally there is no need to be afraid of people.
Snape immediately followed up and asked, "Where did you get the portkey?" ”
"In my family's coffers." Liu Yu said lightly, without waiting for Snape to ask, he directly came to buy one get one free, and explained his whereabouts together: "There is a note under the door key explaining how to use it and where it will go, I tried it that night, and then I arrived at a place, Potter Manor." ”
"Potter Manor......" Snape's face darkened, and the surname "Potter" reminded him once again that the boy sitting leisurely in front of him was the little cub of the Potter family, the child of his own enemy! "So you've been at Potter Manor for a week? Haven't you thought about informing someone? Thinking of James Potter, Snape's voice unconsciously took on a sarcastic tone: "Worthy of the arrogant savior boy, willful and reckless is just like your bastard father!" ”
"I don't care what grudge you have with James Potter, but it's best not to bring this emotion to me, and don't put the professor in front of me, I don't owe you anything." Liu Yu's eyes also turned cold, he was not a pitiful little man who didn't have the slightest ability to fight back in the original book.
"You ......," Snape had to breathe deep and hard to suppress the urge to pull out his wand and unleash Arvada at the boy in front of him.
Glancing at Snape, Liu Yu lowered his posture and said that he would go and tell the family who had raised him about his whereabouts, so that they would no longer worry, and that he would stay at Potter Manor before school started.
Snape didn't know if he was too sensitive, he always felt that it was Potter who said those words, and there seemed to be a hint of irony on his face, but because it disappeared so quickly, Snape thought it was his delusion. Later, when Snape learned what Harry Potter was like before entering Hogwarts, and how the Dursleys treated him, Snape remembered the events of that day, and realized that he was not nervous.
Snape left with mixed feelings, and although he found Harry Potter, his mood did not relax at all, but seemed to be heavier.
Regardless of what Snape had answered Dumbledore when he returned, Liu Yu continued his plans after coming out of the Leaky Cauldron, and went to the Blotted Bookstore to buy new books from the past few decades, ready to learn more about the modern history of British magic. (To be continued......)
