Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 143 Snape

This kind of gaze was like that of a class teacher looking through the glass at the back door. Even Su Ze, who had graduated for a long time, couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine at this moment.

But he quickly realized that he was no longer a student of Hogwarts, and there was no hostility here, so why should he worry about these professors?

After figuring this out, Su Ze did not avoid the old woman's gaze, but nodded with a smile, and then continued to help Harry and Ron carry the suitcases.

As the last suitcase was taken out of the car, the blue sedan automatically closed its trunk and doors. Without giving anyone present time to react, it suddenly started the car, then stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.

"Hey!"

Ron only had time to stretch out his hand before the car disappeared around the corner of the castle, leaving behind only a pungent exhaust fumes.

Ron stared blankly at the place where the car disappeared, with a sad face.

"I hope it can find its way home, otherwise my dad will kill me with his own hands."

"That guy is smart, he will definitely go home by himself." Suze came to Ron's side, raised his hand to ruffle his red hair, and smiled. "And at least your wand is not broken, right?"

After saying that, Su Ze took the initiative to move forward and headed straight towards Hogwarts Castle. Seeing this, Rocket Raccoon quickly followed.

Only Ron looked at Harry beside him with some curiosity. "The wand is not broken? What on earth is this guy talking about? He kept saying weird things along the way."

Harry shook his head slightly. "Maybe some wizards are like this, but at least it proves that he is not a bad person, right?"

Three people and a raccoon entered the castle through the garden gate. Although Su Ze had watched Harry Potter movies countless times in his previous life and had been to many theme parks, this was the first time for him to come here in person.

Just as he was about to take a closer look at the decorations here, an old man holding a cat on the steps was staring at Su Ze and others with an unfriendly expression.

Looking up, Su Ze immediately recognized the other person's identity.

Argus Filch, the janitor of Hogwarts, is also a Squib who has wizard blood but cannot use magic. It seems that because of this background, he likes to go against young wizards.

The cat in his hand is his spiritual sustenance. It is a kneazle named Mrs. Norris, which can barely be considered a magical animal.

Filch first glanced at Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, a faint smile appeared on his face, and then he turned his gaze to Suze.

"Who are you? Hogwarts doesn't accept visits from strangers."

Su Ze bowed his head slightly as a greeting, and then he said calmly, "I'm here to visit Headmaster Dumbledore."

“Did you apply in advance?”

Filch's voice sounded like rotten wood, making people feel a little creepy.

"No." Su Ze shook his head.

"That's a stranger." Filch snorted coldly, standing in front of Suze with a gloomy face. "Go back, maybe next time you can say hello to Headmaster Dumbledore in advance."

After a pause, Filch muttered again.

"Or maybe next time, don't overestimate your abilities."

As soon as the words fell, Su Ze's smiling face suddenly froze. Although Filch's voice was very low, he had outstanding hearing, and the two were not far away, so Su Ze heard it clearly.

"What did you just say?" Su Ze raised his eyebrows.

"I didn't say anything. No one can enter Hogwarts without the permission of Headmaster Dumbledore," Filch said seriously.

Seeing how quickly the other person's expression changed, Su Ze was so angry that he laughed.

Shaking his head speechlessly, Su Ze was not going to waste time in front of this guy. He was just a gatekeeper anyway. If he didn't have this identity, no student in the entire Hogwarts would take him seriously.

After a pause, Suze looked back at Harry and Ron.

"Mr. Potter, please go in with Ron and tell your headmaster that I have something important to discuss with Headmaster Dumbledore. I'm sure they will understand."

"Ah, oh." It was the first time that Harry Potter was addressed as 'Mr. Potter'. This made him feel that he was being taken seriously, and at the same time his attitude towards Su Ze improved a lot.

"Hmph, instead of talking about this, you might as well take a good look around here. After all, this might be your last night here." Filch said sinisterly beside him.

Then, just as Filch was about to say something else, he suddenly felt his shoulders sink. He turned around and saw Suze coming to his side and hugging him.

Filch, who rarely had physical contact with others, felt very uncomfortable with Suze's behavior. He struggled a few times, but was firmly held in place by Suze.

How could a Squib be able to resist a body as big as that of an Asgardian soldier? In Suze's hands, Filch's struggle was even worse than that of a baby. "Go, Harry. I'll wait here with Mr. Filch."

Suze smiled and waved, then turned to look at Filch, increased the strength of his hands again, and said.

"Isn't that right, Mr. Filch?"

"."

Filch kept his mouth tightly shut. Although he wanted to call Suze a troll half-mudblood, the strength coming from his shoulder made him choose to remain silent.

Su Ze is not the type to argue with an old man. Filch is just a little foul-mouthed. As long as it does not affect his own interests, Su Ze is still very gentle.

Without Filch's intervention, Harry and Ron went straight to the office of Professor McGonagall, the head of Gryffindor School. They were very nervous along the way, fearing that they would be expelled from Hogwarts.

At the door, Su Ze waited for more than ten minutes but did not receive any news from Dumbledore. Instead, he waited for an unexpected guy.

He was a tall and thin man with long black hair and wearing a black robe. The hem of his robe fluttered behind him as he walked. He was completely shrouded in darkness and looked like a giant bat.

"Professor Snape."

Su Ze was no stranger to the man in front of him. This double agent who appeared throughout the entire Harry Potter book left a very deep impression in the story.

"I don't seem to know you."

Professor Snape's iconic grammatical voice fell into Su Ze's ears, and also made Su Ze further confirm the worldview of this universe - this is most likely a movie universe, not a novel universe.

Su Ze had a relatively good understanding of Harry Potter before he traveled through time. Similarly, he was also very clear about the differences between the original novel and the movie universe.

In many Harry Potter fan fictions, there is a very popular saying, which is 'protagonists come and go, but Hannah remains forever'. This is because in the original novel, the first wizard to be sorted into the same house as Harry was Hannah Abbott.

But the movie universe is different. The first sorting became Hermione, and this also became an interesting tone, that is, most of the fan fictions that let Hannah appear, describe the plot that is more in line with the movie.

After clearing away these messy thoughts from his mind, Su Ze turned his attention back to Snape.

"You really don't know me. This is the first time we've officially met, but I've heard of you for a long time. Let me introduce myself. My name is Su Ze, and this is Rocket."

Su Ze spoke calmly, and Rocket Raccoon next to him also raised his chin and greeted him out of courtesy.

Hearing this, Snape narrowed his eyes slightly. He first glanced at Rocket Raccoon, then snorted lightly and looked at Su Ze.

"Today is the first day of school at Hogwarts. What do you want to do here?"

"It's like this, I have something important to discuss with Headmaster Dumbledore, and I hope Professor Snape can introduce me to him."

As Su Ze was speaking, he suddenly felt his head swelling slightly, as if someone was using some force to stimulate his nerves.

This inexplicable feeling instantly made Su Ze, who was already alert, look sharper. Although he did not see the other party move his wand, Su Ze knew too well how powerful the magic of this guy in front of him was.

As a half-blood prince, he was able to create such extremely powerful black magic as the Shadowless Magic when he was a student. This is enough to prove Snape's powerful magical talent.

With his abilities, he had already mastered wandless and silent casting. In this situation, it was not difficult for him to use Legilimency without changing his expression.

If I hadn't collected enough [Essence] to increase my magic resistance, I probably wouldn't have noticed that my memory had been extracted.

Seeing that Suze had discovered his secret actions, Snape was a little surprised, but he did not show it on the surface.

"Professor Snape, you are going too far."

"I'm just going through the motions. After all, this is Hogwarts. I can't just let a wizard from another country walk in like this, and enter the country illegally," Snape said indifferently.

"Are you worried that I will threaten Hogwarts, or are you worried that I will threaten Harry Potter?" Su Ze raised the corner of his mouth.

Snape remained calm. "Please leave. I will inform Dumbledore about your situation. You can go to Hogsmeade and wait for news."

Just at this moment, footsteps came from the corner of the stairs.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Professor McGonagall walking down the stairs with Harry and Ron.

She looked around first, then set her sights on Su Ze.

"Are you the foreign wizard who wants to visit Headmaster Dumbledore? Come in. Dumbledore has agreed to see you."
