He hesitated for a moment, as he had just received news from Hermione that she and Harry were on their way to Hagrid's - Hermione had informed Alan of Harry's borrowing of her Elixir through the Mark of Omniscience, which made Alan finally put down the idea of inviting Snape to the banquet as well, after all, the cold old bat was not likable.

Leaving Professor Snape's office, Alan appears at the back of the castle, where herbalism classes are held, where all kinds of magical plants are cultivated, and Allen's target is the First Greenhouse.

Although it was early spring, it was still cold in the UK, and the humidity and temperature in the air made some corners still a little frosty.

I recall that last month, in January, the whole of Hogwarts was covered in white because of the snow that had not completely melted, and from a distance, only the tops of these birch trees could be slightly greened - birch trees always began to sprout before the cold winter had even receded.

Coming to the first greenhouse, where first-year freshmen study herbology, this greenhouse is full of harmless creatures, these magical creatures are relatively ordinary and not precious.

Alan shouted left and right to find some who didn't see Professor Sprout and didn't find anyone else, Alan planned to take it directly first and then tell Dean Hufflepuff about it, she didn't mind thinking that she had a gentle temper, anyway, the medicinal materials she needed were very common plants, even if she took them, it wouldn't be in the way.

And some of the things that the Hufflepuff students used to grow in their spare space were the ingredients they would use to cook so that they could pick some fresh food when they needed it — Alan thought that as a professor, they wouldn't have a problem picking up some of the students' food.

Picking out some tender coriander and putting them in his waist bag, Alan who was squatting on the ground had his mind back on Snape because of the sprouts - although he was more sympathetic to Snape, but he didn't have any special feelings for him, because for whatever reason, he scolded the mudblood and indulged in the dark magic skills that the woman hated, and stupidly tried to involve the other party, which was indeed his own mistake.

The reason why Allen's mind is on him is because his doppelganger has been studying the secrets in the Department of Mysteries recently, and recently he has begun to have a little bit of experience in mastering fate, and Snape is officially a good target to explore, in addition to the meaning of the previous discovery through his name and the name of the Blade Shadowless Spell, today's Snape's wand and Snape's birthday make Alan feel that he has made some new discoveries about fate - wands can always reflect certain aspects of a person's personality, and birthdays are always one of the most important information in divination.

The Celtic Tree Calendar was a calendar adopted by the ancient Celts, which divided the year into a starting day and 13 months, and the Druid wizards, who were proficient in natural magic, believed that trees were the ancestors of mankind, and that each tree had unique magical properties, so they named each month a tree and gave it a rune. According to the Celtic calendar, birch 12.24~1.20 is the birch month.

On January 9, 1960, Severus Snape was born in a dilapidated room in Spider's End Alley, and after seeing Snape's wand, Allen, who had recently studied fate, realized that Snape and the meaning of the birch tree were deeply connected.

In Celtic culture, the birch tree was a goddess and was often referred to as the mother tree, and many infertile women would pray under the birch tree for pregnancy or better growth of their children, just as two people of the opposite sex must kiss when they are found standing under mistletoe.

Birch is the guardian of children, in charge of the earth's cycle of birth, death, and rebirth—this is the relationship between Snape and Harry.

In Europe, whether it is the wizarding world or Muggles, there has always been a custom to carefully peel off the birch bark and use it to write love letters and send them to lovers who miss them from afar, so the birch tree symbolizes consistent love, a lifetime of dedication to love - this is the relationship between Snape and Harry's mother Lily, even if it is unilateral to the man.

Children born in the birch moon tend to value rules, but they are also creative, and the character of this group is more difficult and hard-working—a testament to the personal skills and abilities of Dark Arts such as the invention of Blade Shadowless, which Snape has developed in his studies and Potions classes.

Lost in thought, Alan had not been able to determine the material of the rod before examining it, but now that he had become more and more familiar with the rooms in the Department of Mysteries, especially his current expertise in prophecy, he had judged that Snape's rod core should be a serpent's nerve after a short period of divination, although he could not guarantee 100% accuracy, because the prophecy was likely to be interpreted in a completely different way by the soothsayer.

The snake is one of the important totems of the British Celtics, due to the habit of hibernation, molting, and Ouroboros of snakes, the primitive ancestors in many cultures believe that snakes are symbols of regeneration and healing, and snakes do have some healing effects as potions, and even the mysterious people rely on Nagini's venom to maintain a simple body before they are fully resurrected. Whether it was the wizards of ancient Egypt or Kateter, or the legendary god of medicine in ancient Greece, Asclepius, in these cultures, snakes had a close relationship with medicine, and in the Muggle world, too, snakes around their wands became medical markers, and spread all over the world, and the most common conspicuous mark in European pharmacies was a snake wrapped around a goblet - and birch sap could also cure diseases, and their bearer, Snape's hobby and profession before this semester was Potions.

Starting from the simplest information such as name, birthday, and wand, which are relatively easy to decipher, Allen, who started to see his fate, was somewhat absent-mindedly selecting in the greenhouse, putting away the cut medicinal herbs, and thinking inwardly about going back to find Luna, who had already made a small achievement in it, to judge the correctness of it.

After stealing some parsnips that should have been planted by students, Allen, who had completed the goal of the trip and left the first greenhouse, paused, and noticed that there seemed to be some movement in the third greenhouse next door.

As he walked by, he saw a window in the middle of the right side of the third greenhouse open to the outside and upwards, and the lower body of a very obese looking man remained outside the window, and the upper body remained in the room. The half-squatting legs are very thick, and judging from the figure of the Moon Department of His Royal Highness, it is the same as a person in Allen's heart.

Alan strode over, walked to his side, stretched out his hand to cut a piece of Slughorn who was twisting the leaves on the branch, and squealed in fright on the low window edge, and then, he turned sharply, and saw that it was Alan, sweat beads oozed from his forehead, he took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and smirked: "Ah, it's you, Professor Harris." ”

"I'm sorry to scare you, maybe I should have cleared my throat and coughed to remind you?" Professor Slughorn. There was no apology in Allen's tone, "Don't worry, I'm here to pick up some herbs for a small banquet, just a few things and I don't want to go to Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley." ”

"Aha, what a coincidence, I'm also here to pick some poisonous beard grass leaves, and I need this herb for the potion I want to brew. Slughorn took advantage of the situation to explain, and he downplayed his intentions.

Alan glanced at Horace with half-squinted eyes and a half-truth, joking: "But I didn't find Professor Sprout, so I just secretly picked these herbs for spices." ”

Slughorn chuckled dryly, trying to hide the embarrassment on his face, "I didn't see it when I came..."

"Poison beard leaves are precious, and with the right buyer, a small leaf can sell for 10 Galleons - of course, it's our little secret. Allen gestured to the small box in Professor Slughorn's hand, which was already stacked with several leaves.

Seeing that Eren knew so well about the trading prices of these magic herbs on the black market, he wanted to perfunctory Alan and make him ignore that the Poison Beard Grass Leaf could not be reached. Professor Slughorn, who was well aware of the preciousness of these herbs, blushed and was a little speechless for his greed.

"I'm here to eat, and I want to teach you that your interest in this is purely academic?" Alan waved his hand absently, thinking of the task that Harry had completed by taking the elixir, Alan paused and said to Slughorn in order to see the effect of the elixir on luck up close, "Hagrid's hut is holding this little banquet because one of his pets died, Hagrid is going to hold a funeral and a banquet for it, you know Hagrid's character, I think he will want more people, Professor Slughorn, let's go together?"

Slughorn's act of picking the leaves of the poison beard grass was exposed by Allen, and he was not able to refuse Allen's invitation, so Slughorn decisively agreed: "The harmony between humans and the animals they raise is so touching, of course I would like to participate." ”

Alan smiled and made an inviting gesture to the Potions professor, and the two began to make their way towards Hagrid's hut - Alan became more interested in the principle of the elixir, because Harry went directly to Hagrid's hut through this potion, and he invited Horace for it, what kind of power is this, or what kind of power is fate at work?
