Chapter 093: Leave of absence
However, Snape's roar made Catherine make a new discovery, because the rotten teeth of the Potions Professor were actually gone, replaced by two rows of white and neat teeth.
"Professor! When will your teeth be corrected? Catherine couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Snape immediately covered his mouth, and then his mind flashed back to what had happened the night before.
Poppy was so stunned that she threw his medicine on the ground after seeing his hair change, but after a while she firmly believed that his teeth were the last blemishes on his face, and then she actually knocked him unconscious and tied him to death on the bed, using magic to correct his teeth one by one, completely ignoring any of his opinions in the whole process.
Thinking of this, Snape shouted in annoyance, "Shut up! Don't talk about it again! β
"Butβ" Catherine walked up to Snape, winking and holding his hand, "I like the change you're making now. β
Her happy smile dazzled his eyes directly, and completely extinguished the anger in his heart.
"Why are you here when you have nothing to do?" Snape unusually simply shifted the subject, shaking off the strange atmosphere.
"See how you're recovering from your injuries? By the way, I will ask you to write a leave of absence. Catherine stated her purpose as she took out her wand and cast an inspection spell on Snape.
"That guy is still making a fuss?" Snape sat down with a frown, grabbed a pen and paper from the side, and began to write a leave note for Catherine.
"Nope! However, any of his actions consumed my body and magic power, so for a long time to come, I couldn't juggle my studies. Catherine said helplessly, if it weren't for Salazar's magic last night, which put Riddle into a temporary hibernation, she would have to come to the medical wing to see Snape in advance, "That elder has put things off until this weekend, and Madam Pomfrey will allow you to be discharged from the hospital at that time?" β
"Saturday. Is there a time? Snape asked, looking up. Seeing Catherine nod, she continued to bow her head and write, and soon handed her a stack of leave notes.
"Thank you, Professor!" Catherine happily put her arms around Snape's neck and rubbed his face happily before running away with the leave slip, "I'll go ask for leave first, and I'll come to see you at noon, and remember to tell Dobby what you want to eat." β
Looking at Catherine's vanishing back, the expression on Snape's face began to turn dazed. He walked to the window, looked at his awkward-looking supple black hair, looked at the blurred reflection on the glass, opened his mouth to look at the teeth that didn't seem to belong to him, and finally sighed helplessly and accepted the changes.
As Catherine left the medical wing, her mood quickly changed from pleasure to apprehension, because the leave slip that Snape had written for her did not contain any reason or excuse at all, only the time - "allow Catherine to take leave until the final exams - S.S." It's hard to convince the redhead girl that the other professors will approve it.
However, although the professors of all departments were puzzled about the content of the leave slip, they were not too embarrassed.
Professor Flitwick took the slip and gave Catherine a copy of the review points; Professor Sprout's focus was not at all on her studies, but on her life; Only Professor McGonagall was reluctant. But after asking a few difficult questions, I also smiled and approved it directly.
As for the others, Professor Binns nodded without looking at the note, and Mrs. Hodge and Professor Sinista laughed that she would not be able to attend classes for the next four years. Instead, Professor Victor and Professor Babling gave her a homework sheet and asked her to turn it in on time.
As for Professor Bubaji, she couldn't hide her joy when she saw the strip. Because the SG group has caused her to almost lose her class, but as long as Catherine, the culprit, is still present, she can't use the prestige of a professor to teach other students.
The most embarrassing thing for Catherine was Hagrid, as soon as he saw the content of the leave note, his two big eyes were directly wet, and he choked up when he spoke, and the red-haired girl could only reluctantly put the wet note back, anyway, the course of protecting magical creatures had become regular, and the content had become interesting.
When Catherine learned that the first class of the new semester was a fire monster, Catherine even regretted that she couldn't use the time turner to go back to Monday, but the usually dull hunting ground keeper saw her regret and took her into the Forbidden Forest to make up for the lesson.
However, there was a leave of absence that Catherine did not hand over, that is, Trelawney's divination class, because she was very curious about the circumstances under which this woman who pretended to be crazy and stupid would make a real prediction, so she not only actively attended every divination class herself, but even discussed the transaction of buying the video of the divination class with several seniors at the beginning of the school year, under the pretext that she was very interested in divination.
But Trelawney herself was not at all happy about this, knowing that the whole of Slytherin thought she was a liar, but she did not understand why two third-year Slytherins had chosen her course, and had persisted until now.
Hermione, who had also chosen all the courses, was also very unaware of the thoughts of her two Slytherin friends, because even she, who had always respected the professor the most, had begun to lose her stomach and was ready to give up on studying divination, but Catherine and Draco had no intention of leaving.
Of course, this does not mean that Catherine and Draco will listen carefully to the class, most of the time they will directly use the divination classroom as a study room, and they will perform soundproofing spells in a grand manner, write homework or discuss things in the corner, and the rest of the time, Draco will lie on the table to catch up on sleep, while Catherine will enjoy Trelawney's performance with the eyes of studying antiques.
Trelawney was so disgusted by this that she even expected Catherine to continue with her homework or discuss with others instead of focusing on herself, so when the three SG group members spoke openly in the corner during the final divination class of the week, she had no intention of stopping her.
"Catherine, when did you come back? Where the hell did you and Professor Snape go before? As soon as Hermione arrived at the divination classroom, she was shocked to find that her friend had actually come to class, and although she didn't understand why the other person had chosen to appear at this time, Gryffindor's impatience prompted her to tear her throat and ask directly at the first sight.
And Draco, who happened to be following Hermione, after hearing the cry of the brown-haired girl, although full of doubts, waited until he ran to Catherine's side and set up a soundproofing charm before lowering his voice and asking, "Is it because of Dumbledore?" I heard from Senior Ixasi that you should rush to meet him as soon as you get off the train! β
"I don't want to lie to you, so I can only tell you that my meeting with the principal did go unexpected." Catherine apologized for explaining to her two friends, "This accident made my mind confused for a moment, and I just wanted to 'leave', so I opened a tunnel in snake language, and Professor Snape fell with me in order to stop me, and then because of the guidance of a force, we unexpectedly went to a very far underground from Hogwarts, and were accidentally injured......"
"Hurt? What injuries have you suffered? How could it get hurt? Is it because of the power you are talking about? Hermione, who was worried about her friend, didn't wait for the red-haired girl to finish speaking, and directly popped out a series of questions.
"Professor Snape was injured when he fell down the tunnel, and my condition, as there is a secret involved, I can't say it now." Catherine couldn't help but smile apologetically again, "As for that power, it's just to take me to a place where there's something I'm looking for, and what it is, there's another secret involved, so, sorry, I still can't say." β
"Catherine, why do I suddenly think you have a lot of secrets?" Draco asked with a sudden frown.
"It's normal." Catherine smiled and explained, "Although I am still a minor and a student at Hogwarts, I have learned a long time ago that the more mysterious people live, the longer they live, so I naturally have a lot of secrets now. β
"Well, now is not the time to talk about anything else, Catherine, what happened after you were injured? Is there a way to heal the wounds? Hermione snapped back to the point.
"Yes, Professor Snape and I both figured out how to deal with our injuries, and then, because of another secret," Catherine smiled and paused, "we got a means of transportation, we went back to Hogwarts, and then we headed to a secret roomβ"
"Why don't you go to the medical wing right now? Isn't Madam Pomfrey able to handle your injuries? Hermione interrupted her friend again.
"Professor Snape's injury is certainly possible, but I- that's not so much an injury as a special circumstance." Catherine thought for a moment and decided to give more information to her friend, "And Madam Pomfrey doesn't have a particularly effective way of dealing with this, so in order not to make her nervous, Professor Snape and I decided to consult an elder." β
"Elders? Don't tell me sΓΉ I'm Dumbledore. Draco asked, tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"You should know that the Headmaster isn't the oldest creature in Hogwarts school." Seeing Draco point two fingers in her eyes, Catherine shook her head and denied the speculation in his mind, "The elder we consulted has already thought of a solution to my particular situation, but that method will take time, so I won't be able to juggle my studies this semester. β
"Did the professors agree with you taking so long to take a leave of absence? What about your final exam? Hermione's spirit tensed as soon as she heard what she cared about most. (To be continued......)
