Chapter 22: Succeeding (Thanks to Xin Xingxuan and the Demon Addict Boy for their tips!!)

After a morning break, Link's spirits improved a lot.

He and John made their way to the Great Hall, ready to fill their empty bellies.

But just as Link was about to feast, Cedric's familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Link, I heard you were detained by Professor Snape yesterday, what's going on?"

Cedric sat down next to Link very naturally, much to John's agitation.

Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to interrupt the conversation between Cedric and Link directly, so he could only swing excitedly on the sidelines.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I offended Snape in class, so he left me behind for me to take care of the specimens. ”

Link lied as if nothing had happened.

He wouldn't say anything about potions.

That didn't help him in the situation he was facing, it would only be a trivial matter.

Hearing this, Cedric's complexion suddenly changed, and the hand that was originally grabbing the bread also paused.

"Yes...... Really, that's really hard work for you. Cedric forced out a smile and said, "But I don't think we're going to talk about it at dinner now, because Snape's specimens are ...... It's disgusting. ”

Cedric's remark was immediately approved by John.

As a result, the topic of conversation between several people naturally became Quidditch.

Link had no interest in this, and he casually accosted Cedric and John the occasional conversation, but his eyes were always focused on the corner of the faculty seat on the inside of the auditorium.

There, Snape, dressed the same as yesterday, was enjoying lunch alone.

It was clear that he was just as unhappy with the Hogwarts menu as Link was, so he frowned and got up to leave after barely eating for a while.

Seeing this, Link did not hesitate at all, and hurriedly put down the knife and fork and followed.

Cedric and John, who were chatting passionately about Quidditch, didn't even notice Link's sudden departure.

Instead, at the long Slytherin table, a beautiful girl surrounded by everyone suddenly stood up and left the auditorium with Link and Snape.

On the other side, Link's tracking continues.

Snape moves fast, especially for a young wizard like Link.

But with the rich experience accumulated in his previous life as a detective, Link still fell silently behind him.

He has done this kind of thing so much before, and it is almost impossible to miss it.

But while passing through a corner hallway, an accident happened.

Snape, who had been about 10 meters in front of Link, suddenly disappeared, and then a dark, cold voice rang out from behind Link.

"Deliberately stalking the professor, Hufflepuff deducts 10 points!"

The sudden sound didn't startle Link, he slowly turned around, and smiled as if nothing had happened:

"Good afternoon, Professor Snape. ”

"That's good, but I'm sure it wouldn't have been a Chester (a magical creature that resembles a mixture of dogs and pumpkins that likes to follow humans. Because there is a lot of space in the stomach, it is often used as a mobile storage box. It would be better if you followed me!" Snape said through gritted teeth, "Tell me what's the matter, Mr. Foley!"

Snape deliberately accentuated his tone as he pronounced Link's name, which made his words sound like he was mocking Link's last name.

Hearing this, Link didn't show too much anger, but instead raised the corners of his mouth and said:

"Ah, I do have something to ask Professor Snape. I wonder if Madam Pomfrey told you about my proposal last night, and if so, what is your answer?"

As Link's voice slowly drifted out, Snape's face instantly became more gloomy.

For Madam Pomfrey did tell him about Link's request, and it was still in the middle of the night.

Not only that, but after he clearly refused, Madam Pomfrey also deliberately pulled Dumbledore out of the bed in the office and 'persuaded' him together!

Reflecting on how he had been 'persuaded' by Dumbledore and Madam Pomfrey last night and finally having to accept this humiliating condition, Snape's face even became contorted.

This scene is very refreshing to watch.

He just liked to see Snape look like he was very upset, but he couldn't do anything about him.

And looking at Link's sly smile, the anger burning in Snape's heart became even stronger.

But in the end, he restrained his anger and said coldly:

"Pomfrey did tell me about it, and I agreed. After all, the cost of that potion is very expensive, and since you are willing to let me drink it with you, I will naturally not refuse, anyway, all the expenses will be reimbursed by your mother. ”

"Oh, that's what I'm relieved to be. To be honest, I'm a little uneasy if it were Hogwarts public money, after all, it was the common property of all the teachers and students of Hogwarts. ”

Link said with a smile on his face.

He didn't care about the cost of potions at all, because the wealth accumulated by the original owner's family for thousands of years was simply astronomical, and even if the potion was expensive, his family could afford it.

In other words, there was nothing to talk about between Link and Snape, and the two just looked at each other with a smile on their faces, and the atmosphere instantly became weird.

Fortunately, this scene did not last long, and after a while, Link saw Snape's face suddenly change on the other side, and he vigilantly shouted into the shadow of the corner on the side of the two:

"Who's there!

Snape's sudden frenzy startled Link, there weren't many people who would follow him all the way here, and Link instinctively thought of Cedric and John's faces.

But when he actually looked sideways, he realized that it was Emily Victoria who had come out of the shadows.

For a moment, a hint of astonishment flashed across Link's face.

And the vigilance on Snape's face after he found out that it was Emily gradually dissipated, replaced by a rare kindness.

"Emily, why are you here?"

"That's right, Professor Snape, I've tried to make a polyjuice potion, but something has gone wrong so I'd like to ask you. ”

Emily said expressionlessly, and glanced at Link coldly.

Seeing this, Snape instantly understood, he first nodded to Emily, and then said to Link with a gloomy face:

"Is there anything else you can do? Mr. Foley!"

It was still the same word-by-word accent, but this time Link, who had already achieved his original goal, did not choose to continue to entangle, but shrugged his shoulders and turned his head away without hesitation.

Before leaving, his gaze lingered on Emily's body for a moment.

It was the first time he had heard Emily speak.

I have to say, this voice is not poked!

It's just that it would be nice if the tone could be gentle.

Thinking so, Link shook his head with some regret.
