Chapter 23 Early Graduation?
The effects of Voldemort's death were more than that.
The next day, news came from Azkaban that more than two dozen fanatical Death Eaters, led by Bella Black Lestrange, had committed suicide in Azkaban, as well as Barty Crouch Jr., who was disguised as a senior investigator of the Ministry of Magic.
This news was not something that Weston had come to know on his own initiative, but was told to him by one person, and that person was none other than Snape.
Early that morning, Weston had just woken up when he heard a sharp knock on the door, and when he opened it, Snape, still covered in a little dew, rushed in.
"Teacher?" Weston looked at him suspiciously, "Didn't you go on your honeymoon with your wife?" ”
"You killed the Dark Lord?" Snape ignored Weston's question, grabbed him by the shoulder, and asked in a hurried tone.
"Sort of." Weston nodded, "To be precise, I put his Horcruxes together, and it's not wrong to say that I killed him, but, more accurately, he should have committed suicide!" ”
"Whew-" Snape let out a long breath, slumped down in a chair beside him, buried his face between his hands, and rubbed it a few times, an inexplicable meaning appeared on his face, and he didn't know if it was relief, regret or happiness......
"Speaking of which, Voldemort is actually kind to me...... Snape said to himself, not knowing whether to say it to himself or to Weston.
Weston, however, didn't interject, just listened quietly.
"He hurt me even more, though! You got revenge on Lily, and I should thank you! Snape had a rare warm smile on his face.
"It's all in the past, teacher." Weston smiled slightly, "It will get better and better in the future." ”
"I hope so!" Snape said lightly, "If there will be no accident between you and Mr. Headmaster. ”
"No, Mr. Headmaster is pretty good to me, isn't he?" Weston tilted his head and spread his hands.
"No, I know him better than you do." Snape shook his head, "But that's something you can only pay attention to. I'm afraid I can't help you anymore, you're already so much better than I thought you were, Weston. ”
"Actually, I already have a plan for the next step, teacher." Weston bit his lower lip, gritted his teeth, and said what he thought, "That's what I thought......"
Snape listened intently, his eyes opening wider and wider, until he couldn't even maintain his Occlumency.
"My student......." Snape exclaimed, swallowing his saliva and growling, "do you know what you're talking about?" ”
"Of course, I'm sober, teacher." Weston said lightly, "Only then will I never go up against the professor, will I?" I didn't want to fight him, it would be too much trouble! You know, I hate trouble! ”
"But there has never been a precedent for early graduation at Hogwarts!" Snape stared at Weston and said, "Are you so sure that Mr. Headmaster is willing to set this precedent?" ”
"Believe me, the teacher and the professor are not willing to confront me." Weston said softly, "We all know each other's bottom line, and we all know where each other's confidence is." We all have no intention of being enemies of each other. ”
"Can't you sit down and talk?" Snape asked, his face filled with composure.
"It's useless, teacher." Weston shook his head, "I represent the interests of the vast majority of purebloods, and the professor is the representative of the civilian wizards, so it can be said that we are inevitable!" ”
"Before, there was one Voldemort that we all shared, and of course, the Wizard Conversion Potion. Now that Voldemort is dead, and the Wizard Conversion Potion is about to hit the market, it's time for us to confront each other. ”
"So, you're going to back down?" Snape looked at Weston with burning eyes, "I don't think you're the one to back down. ”
"It's not a concession, Professor!" Weston smiled slightly, "It's just leaving the UK." Perhaps, I will have a special trip. ”
"Travel?" Snape repeated, some not understanding what Weston meant.
Weston didn't elaborate, but changed the subject: "By the way, did Mrs. Lily come back with you?" ”
"Of course, I'm not worried about her alone." Seeing that Weston didn't mean to elaborate, Snape didn't ask, and cooperated with him to change the subject.
"So, Ariana and Harry are back, too?" Weston looked pleased, "I thought, should I check their progress and see how their magic is doing?" ”
"Nice idea!" Snape nodded, "I think they'll surprise you!" ”
"I'm looking forward to it!" Weston laughed.
Teacher, when it comes to opposing us, how will you choose.......

Professor Snape is back!
The news quickly spread throughout Hogwarts. There are surprises, and there are worries. Most of them were waiting to see what Snape would do. After all, both the current Slytherin lifestyle and the teaching practices of Potions classes have been drastically overhauled by Weston.
Some of the little dark-hearted ones were ready to watch Weston's jokes from the sidelines. However, when Snape took a Potions class, he commented admiringly: "Genius practice!" And that's all gone. Once again, the students knew what the name Weston meant to Snape.
"You seem to be relieved?" Dumbledore asked with a smile when he received Weston's resignation.
"Of course!" Weston nodded as a matter of course, "It's too tiring to be a professor or something, it's better to be a student!" ”
"Students who often skip class?" Dumbledore quipped, "It's not very common!" ”
"Geniuses are always different!" Weston raised an eyebrow, "Unfortunately, I'm a genius!" I don't think the class will improve me! ”
"We all know this, otherwise, how would we have agreed to let you miss school for so long!" Dumbledore smiled and shook his head, picked up Weston's resignation letter, read it again, and then, his face changed.
"Are you serious?" Dumbledore asked in a deep voice, "You want to graduate early?" ”
"Of course, I thought I had written it clearly enough!" Weston said with a smile.
"Why?" Dumbledore asked.
"Professor, you and I both understand, don't we?" Weston whispered.
Dumbledore stared at Weston in silence for a moment, then nodded slowly, "Okay, maybe, I should agree." ”
"Of course, we don't want any conflict, do we?" Weston asked rhetorically.
"Of course!" Dumbledore smiled, "I don't want my sister to lose a good teacher. ”
The two smiled at each other, both understanding each other's meaning from each other's eyes.
