The years of welding at Hogwarts

He will settle this account with Old Deng when he grows up.

At the same time, he did not forget to bow slightly to Snape gracefully.

"Hello, Professor Snape."

Snape ignored Noah's words and looked straight at Dumbledore.

"Then I'll take him away."

Seeing that Snape was so eager to take Noah away, Dumbledore, who was eager to get rid of the trouble, was secretly happy, but on the surface he pretended to keep him.

"Don't you want to stay for a while? Like sit down and have a cup of tea or something?"

"No need." Snape refused bluntly, then turned and walked out the door.

Although he didn't say a word to him the whole time, Snape's meaning was very clear.

How could Noah not understand that he had been fooled by this unscrupulous old bee?

Looking at Snape's attitude, it was obvious that there was no room for him to refuse.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

He has to recognize Snape, his cheap guardian today whether he wants to or not.

I just don't know what conditions this old bee offered in order to make Snape agree to be his guardian.

Noah's gaze drifted to the extra-long magic wand leaning against the back of the door. It seemed that he would have to find time to attach a halberd head to it.

Noah has been wandering for half his life, regretting that he has never met a wise master. If you don't abandon him, he is willing to take Snape as his godfather.

When his wings are strong enough, then...

How can a man who lives between heaven and earth live in depression for a long time?

The situation is stronger than the person now, so he should just endure it for now.

Noah followed Snape closely and left the headmaster's office. On the way out of the castle, he was still full of questions.

anyway……

Why is the appearance of this old bat different from what is described in the original book?

Besides, where are they going now?

Looking at Snape, who was walking in the front with his wide cloak blowing in the wind, Noah silently put aside the questions in his heart.

Walking on the lawn outside the castle, Noah and Snape soon approached the forbidden forest, which was known as the back garden of the third generation Dark Lord and also as the warehouse of magical ingredients.

From a distance, in an open space not far away from the Forbidden Forest, Noah saw some strange animals standing next to the Forbidden Forest.

There was no flesh on them, and the black fur was tightly attached to the skeleton, so that every bone was clearly visible.

Their heads are very similar to those of a Western fire dragon, with big eyes without pupils, only a large area of ​​white, staring intently at the empty space ahead.

On the bulge between their shoulder bones grow a pair of tough wings made of skeleton and membrane, which look like a pair of giant bat wings.

The strange winged horses were harnessed to the shafts of the carriages.

Noah recognized it immediately.

What magical creatures——

Thestral.

A magical animal that can only be seen by those who have witnessed death.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that superstitious people believe that this creature is very unlucky and will bring all kinds of terrible disasters to those who see it, and it is a bad omen.

But in fact this statement is pure nonsense.

One sees the Thestrals after one has seen death, not after one has seen the Thestrals.

As for being unlucky, that's even more ridiculous.

Thestrals have an amazing sense of direction, and therefore domesticated Thestrals are widely used for transportation in the magical world.

For example, Hogwarts.

Every year, so many Hogwarts students board the Thestrals at Hogsmeade Station, the terminal platform of the Hogwarts Express, to head to the castle. To be unlucky, there are not many students who die on the way.

On the contrary, the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts is more unlucky.

The people who come to apply for the position change every year, and this has become a disposable consumable.

Looking at the two people gradually approaching, the slightly timid Night Thestrals blinked their white eyes that were almost as venomous as poison, and their strange big heads moved with the movement of the two people.

Noah pulled a cockroach from Dumbledore's office out of his pocket and handed it to the leading Thestral.

The thestral just sniffed the smell of the cockroach pile, turned its head to the other side in disgust, and spat a mouthful of phlegm in an indecent manner.

did you see it?

There are so many cockroaches that even dogs won’t eat them!

Oh sorry, the Thestrals are Pegasus, not dogs.

But there isn’t really much difference between the two.

All of them have upright limbs and belong to the subphylum vertebrates and class mammals. They are known as the traditional "six domestic animals" along with cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens, and are all part of the twelve zodiac signs.

Even the Thestrals wouldn't eat this, so I don't know how Dumbledore could eat it with such relish.

Seeing Noah feeding them, Snape was a little surprised, "Can you see them?"

Although wizards’ biggest hobby is to commit suicide in various ways, only a few people in the magical world can see the Thestrals.

Snape narrowed his eyes and could not help but begin to carefully examine the young man who Dumbledore called the most dangerous wizard in the wizarding world in the next century.

Only then did he feel the coldness in Noah's temperament.

This kid has killed someone!

And there’s more than one!

Chapter 18 Stop fighting!

If Noah could guess what Snape was thinking, he would definitely complain.

He had indeed killed people. During the final battle, he held two protractors in his hands and chopped from one end of the battlefield to the other without blinking an eye.

At least five Chitauri died at his hands, if not ten.

And when he passed by Tony Stark who was fighting against the Purple Sweet Potato Spirit, he did not forget to slap Iron Man in the face and took away one of his gems.

As for the Vanguard who looks like a dog, there is no need to mention it. Noah has maintained an undefeated record against the Vanguard.

Because that thing was too strong for Noah at that time and he couldn't defeat it.

Whenever he met Iron Man on the battlefield, he would choose to go around him, which is why Noah was able to survive until the moment when Iron Man was about to snap his fingers in the final battle.

As long as there is no confrontation, the winning rate is 100%, no problem.

Snape took his eyes off Noah and looked at the shabby little carriage that was being pulled behind Thestral, which smelled faintly of mold and straw, and motioned for Noah to get on.

The Thestrals began to pull the carriage forward.

When the speed reaches a certain level, they spread their huge bat wings, like a fighter jet taking off, drawing a reverse parabola on the runway, and rising into the sky with the carriage behind them.

The Thestrals pulled the carriage across the treetops, across the Black Lake, and flew toward a small village in the distance.

The distance from Hogwarts to Hogsmeade village may not seem far, but that is based on the premise of riding in a Thestral carriage.

If I were to walk, it would probably take more than an hour to complete this journey.

As the carriage gradually approached its destination, the speed of the Night Thestrals gradually slowed down, and finally landed in the garden of an exquisite house in the village carrying the two of them.

Generally speaking, every Hogwarts professor will purchase a property in Hogsmeade village so that they can stay and rest during the holidays.

Except for the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, there is no need for them to buy a house. After all, most of them will die before the holidays.

In front of us, this house with a garden is obviously owned by Snape.

Looking at this house whose decoration style did not look like a house that a single old man would live in, Noah's eyes were full of confusion.

But Snape had no intention of explaining anything to Noah, he just led the way into the house.

The house was not very big and did not look like it was inhabited, although it was kept very clean and the garden outside was always trimmed and tidied, perhaps with the help of the house-elves.

Snape walked straight to the fireplace and grabbed a pinch of glittering powder from a porcelain bowl on the table beside it.

"This is Floo powder." Snape didn't intend to say any more nonsense.

Learn from Snee

Following Pu's appearance, Noah also grabbed a handful of Floo powder.

"Throw it in and say your destination, Spinner's End. Walk into the fireplace and out again, and we'll be there."

Hearing Snape's explanation, Noah couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly in his heart.

This was also fortunately because he knew how to use this thing. If someone else who was using Floo powder for the first time listened to Snape's explanation, they would probably run from Spinner's End to Knockturn Alley.

But not everyone is as lucky as the savior, who met Hagrid and rescued him when he was almost kidnapped by a dark wizard.

Just as Noah was about to sprinkle the powder into the fireplace, Snape suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Wait, before we set off, I think I need to tell you a few things to note."

"Please go ahead, Professor."

Snape spoke in a slow, emotionless tone:

"First, you are not allowed to have any verbal communication with Shirley."

When Noah heard this, he was confused again.

Damn, it’s okay that Snape’s appearance is completely different from the classic image he knows, but now Shirley appears out of nowhere?

Who the fuck is this?

The Shirley from Gin?

You shouldn't be called Severus Snape, you should be called Gin Snape.

Ignoring Noah, Snape continued to pronounce his rules expressionlessly:

"Second, no physical contact with Shirley."

"Third, you are not allowed to touch any of Shirley's personal belongings."

Noah:? ? ?

He couldn't remember how many times he had been confused today.

Why the hell tell me who Shirley is!

A clone of your dream girl, Lily Evans!?

Before Noah could react, Snape pushed him into the fireplace.

The Floo powder in his hand fell into the fireplace, and a green flame immediately ignited in the fireplace. Noah could only shout out their destination first -

"Spider's End Alley!"

His figure disappeared into the fireplace.

……

Noah felt as if he were being sucked into a giant water pipe.

The surroundings were filled with rapidly swirling green flames, and the whistling sound in his ears was deafening, making him completely unable to tell up from down, left from right, east from west, south from north.

In the blurred vision, a series of furnace doors flashed by dazzlingly, and from time to time a series of screams could be heard from the fireplace passage next door.

Just when Noah was about to be unable to endure the dizzying experience comparable to the pilot test, he finally felt the sense of solidity again -

He finally stood on the ground.

Opening his eyes, Noah found himself standing in a spacious brick and stone fireplace. The decoration of the room seemed to be no different from before, but there seemed to be some subtle differences.

There were brisk footsteps outside the house and a girl's silvery voice.

"Dad, are you back?"

The fireplace behind him lit up with green flames again, and Snape's tall and thin figure emerged from it.

However, his expression at this moment made Noah unable to believe his eyes.
