They arrived at the station by bus, changed to an international coach, and when Snape handed the conductor two gold Galleons, they undoubtedly got the best position they could get: a cubicle with lots of food and a separate toilet.

The bus looks the same as the usual bus, but in addition to the fact that the interior space is four or five times higher than that of a normal bus, the important thing is that no matter what obstacle is ahead, it can always go straight, or jump over or pass like a shapeshift, and it is extremely fast and never obeys the traffic light, in this way of travel, at midnight that day, they arrived at the hotel that they had booked in advance.

The hostel is close to the sea, and you can hear the waves outside from your bed. Over the next three days, she and Professor Snape visited many of the most famous spots in the wizarding world: a food court with all sorts of strange foods, where you can taste more horrible than flavored beans if you weren't careful, and Snape was persuaded by Sally to take a large bite of champagne cake, and then his face turned red and he slept on the chaise longue prepared by the shop. It took me three hours of sleep to wake up. Sally also accompanied Snape on a tour of some of the ingredients that were unique to the local potions, and with Snape, a knowledgeable professor, she was able to enjoy them. More often than not, though, they stayed at the inn, eating sugary fruit, or surfing on the hotel's private beach, and Sally chose a costume for Snape that was very characteristic of the island coconut grove, which Snape sternly refused. Although he took off his black robe, which had not changed for thousands of years, he still only wore black short T-shorts in Muggle clothes. Sally was worried that he would faint from the nearly 40-degree heat.

On the fourth day, when Sally was in high spirits and preparing to go to the beach, Snape told her that they were going to meet someone today.

"Is that your friend?" asked Sally, curious. Snape hesitated, "Reluctantly, sort of." ”

Since she was a friend of Snape, Sally was extremely interested in meeting her. She had to say she was surprised to see that Snape's friend turned out to be a teenager who looked to be in his early twenties.

"Sally Potter. The man said enthusiastically, "I have heard of your name for a long time, and I have never had a chance to meet you, but today I finally met the deity." ”

"Uh... Hello. Sally was a little embarrassed, this person was a little too familiar.

"This is Professor Harden. Snape introduced.

"Call me James. Professor Harden, or rather James, said, "After all, you're not a student of Richurus, so you don't need to be so formal. ”

"For the next few days, I want you and Professor Harden to learn how to call the gods. Snape seemed accustomed to James's personality and could do perfect disregard, and he said straight to the point. "You only have ten days, and Professor Harden will tell you the specifics. I have to go. ”

"Wait!" Sally said, "I'm a bit of a mess, you mean, give me to this guy, I'm sorry Professor Harden, I didn't mean to be disrespectful." And then you're leaving?"

"This is something I've agreed with Professor Harden for a long time. "And I do have something to do now, so the plan is just ahead of schedule." ”

"What if I reject your plan. Sally looked up, "What can you do with me?"

"If you refuse. Snape said dryly, "Then don't ask me to sign the application form for Hogsmeade this time." ”

Sally gritted her teeth and looked at Snape with a smug face, he had already calculated everything.

"If you've discussed it. James interrupted the two of them and said, "Can I take little Sally with me?"

"I'll come to you in ten days. Snape said to James, "I wish she had a lot of hair." ”

"Then you have to know how many hairs she has. James said nonchalantly, waving his hand, "You're going to be late." ”

Snape took one last look at Sally, walked out of the store and disappeared in an instant. Just like that, he threw Sally into the hands of the man who had only known him for less than ten minutes.

Can anyone explain how a good vacation can become a special training?

"Don't be so wary of me, little Sally, after all, I've been friends with Severus for more than ten years. He stirred the soda in his hand and said leisurely.

"He said let me learn to call the gods and protect them from you. Sally said, "Why should I learn from you?"

"Because apparently I'm better suited than Snape when it comes to Defence Against the Dark Arts. In fact, I have the same attainment and stature in Defence Against the Dark Arts as Severus did in Potions. James unconsciously put a look of pride on his face: "I am the authority." ”

When they returned to the inn, James was clearly prepared, and even though Sally only had a wand on him, he could get everything they needed from the brand-new suitcase.

"It's obviously very difficult for us to master this advanced technique in these ten days. I don't expect you to summon your Patronus as you like on the tenth day, like this. He easily summoned a silver lion, and the lion circled around Sally before disappearing. "But at least you have to have the possibility of summoning a Patronus in a critical situation. Even if you can only succeed once out of ten, you have to make sure that the one you succeed is your most critical moment. ”

Ten days later, when Snape returned from a distant place, it was already two o'clock in the morning, and he had planned to look for James and Sally the next day, but when he opened the door, he found that James had already prepared his meal and had been waiting for a long time.

"I don't know what makes you wait here without sleeping. Snape said as he took off his plug-in, "Is there anything you can't say tomorrow?"

"If I knew you were coming back so late, I wouldn't have waited for you. James said with a smile.

Snape sat across from him, "How's Sally?"

"Not a single hair is missing. James said. "You have a good eye. ”

"I've always had a good eye. Snape took a sip of water and said, "So she has basically mastered the principles of the Divine Guardian?"

"I want Sally to come to Lici Urus to go to school. Instead of answering Snape's question, James threw out another question, which was the main reason he had waited for him until now. "You know, she's going to be a better fit there than at Hogwarts. ”

Snape put down his glass and looked at James, his only barely good friend still with a smile on his face, and his eyes were indeed serious. "She'll be well protected at Hogwarts. ”

"She'll learn to protect herself faster in Lech Urus. James said, "Until she learns to protect herself, I'll protect her." ”

"What about her opinion?"

"I haven't asked her yet. James shrugged. "After all, you have to get the consent of your guardian first. ”

"I have full respect for her own opinion. Snape said bluntly, and James breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and slouched deeply. "I've got the answer I wanted, I'm going back to sleep. Older people, you know, can't stay up late. ”

"It seems that Sally has succeeded in summoning her Patronus. Snape smiled proudly, and said, "It's been a long time since you've been so thirsty." ”

"She's even better than you think. James sold off when he left, and just said so. Then he went back to his room.
