The years of welding at Hogwarts

What kind of person is this?

What kind of little wizard did he meet!

Even Nicolas Flamel, the greatest alchemist in the world today, may not be able to do such an operation!

If he remembered correctly, the man in front of him was named Noah Shafrin, and he seemed to be Professor Snape's adopted son?

So, could he...

Hey hey.

If Professor Flitwick had read an Eastern allusion called "Lü Bu among men, Red Hare among horses, and the Fang Tian Hua Ji is used to stab his adoptive father", he would not have thought so.

……

At six o'clock in the evening, the deep and rich bells echoed in the castle.

Hearing the bell ringing for the end of get out of class, the students who had finally finished their daytime classes felt relieved and left the classroom one after another, flocking to the castle's auditorium in groups of three or five.

The auditorium was very lively at dinner time, especially the professors' tables, which were even more lively.

Snape had a confusing dinner because the two colleagues beside him kept flirting with him, which made him completely confused as he could not understand the hints in their eyes.

"Severus, it must be very hard for you to raise two children alone?"

Hearing Professor McGonagall's sudden question, Snape's expression became even more confused.

He had never had any social experience of this kind, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer this question.

To say it's hard, it's not that bad.

If I say it's not hard, I would be lying if I say it's not hard since I have to be on guard every day against Noah, a foreign wild boar, who might eat my juicy cabbages.

So he could only squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth, "Not bad."

After hearing what Professor McGonagall said, Professor Flitwick suddenly had a premonition that he had met his match, and quickly joined in the conversation between the two.

"As I recall, Professor Snape just adopted Noah, right?"

The fact that Snape adopted a child was no longer a secret since Hogwarts started, but a piece of gossip that everyone talked about with relish.

No one would have thought that Snape, who looked cold on the outside, was actually such a kind-hearted person who would take the initiative to adopt an orphan.

Only Professor McGonagall knew that adopting Noah was actually a task assigned to Snape by Dumbledore.

"Severus, you are so young, and you already have a son and a daughter."

At this point, Professor Flitwick sighed, "I really envy you. Unlike me, because of my goblin bloodline, no witch would look up to me..."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Professor Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff, almost choked to death on the pumpkin juice he had just drunk when he heard this.

How could she remember that when Professor Flitwick was still young and still the dueling champion of the wizard dueling world, he ruthlessly rejected all the courtship of his female fans.

And he kept mumbling something all day long -

"Women will only slow down my pulling speed."

"Staff, the thing you should stay away from the most is emotion."

He had clearly chosen to be a widower, but now that he had no one to take care of him in his old age, he started to think about Snape's adopted son and daughter.

Pooh!

She has never seen such a shameless person!

Snape's unchanging expressionless face almost froze him, but before he could figure out how to start speaking, Professor McGonagall next to him interrupted his spell chanting.

"Filius, I remember you seem to have a son?"

Professor Flitwick blushed. "At that time, I was young and ignorant..."

This incident dates back more than 30 years.

At that time, Professor Flitwick was the recognized champion in the dueling world. He was full of energy and ambition.

After winning yet another match and retaining the Duel Championship, he got drunk in the bar.

In a drunken state, he made eye contact with the bar's resident singer.

It was a starry night, with planes flying overhead and meteors streaking across the sky.

After that wonderful night, the two parted ways, and Professor Flitwick didn't even know the name of the witch who sang in the bar.

Until one day more than ten years ago, a young man with a French accent suddenly came to his door and claimed to be his son.

Professor Flitwick was completely confused at the time.

Fortunately, the young man did not and did not want to make a big deal out of it. He just wanted to meet Professor Flitwick and see what kind of person this father, whom he hadn't seen for more than 20 years, was like.

It was a critical period in the fight against Voldemort, and the British wizarding world was in great danger.

So Professor Flitwick quickly sent his son back to France, and the two rarely met again afterwards, and usually only communicated through letters.

Although this matter did not cause a big stir, how could an old colleague like Professor McGonagall not know about it?

In other words, Snape, who didn't like socializing or listening to gossip, was still unaware of this.

Looking at Professor Flitwick with his shamefaced old face, Snape was so shocked that he stopped eating. The fork in his hand stopped in mid-air, and he was unable to put the cut steak into his mouth.

After defeating Flitwick, a potential rival, Professor McGonagall looked at Snape.

"Why not just hand the child over to me."

Dumbledore, who was watching the show with great interest, suddenly froze in his smile. Minerva looked like an honest person with thick eyebrows and big eyes, so why did she suddenly change?

Snape stood there for a long time like a broken robot, and finally he gave Dumbledore a puzzled look, asking him if this was his arrangement.

Dumbledore didn't know how to answer, so he could only look away silently.

Unable to get a definite answer from Dumbledore, Snape had no choice but to resort to shifting the blame.

"For this kind of thing, you should go to Dumbledore. This is the job he assigned to me."

Ah, it's available now.

Not a bit of defense.

……

The latest chapters seem a bit bland, but they are an unskippable part of the main storyline.

When I was originally thinking about this part, I wanted to go through it as quickly as possible.

But after thinking about it carefully, I still think it is better to write at my own pace.

These plots are all to pave the way for a better story narration later on. If they are deliberately omitted, it will give the subsequent plot a sense of haste, so in the end it was decided to keep them.

After this part of the plot is over, the exciting part is about to begin!

Please stay tuned!

……

By the way, I would like to respond to the doubts that have arisen in the recent comment section.

The problem with Kamar-Taj's spells was explained at the end of the previous chapters.

The further development of Neville, the future sword master, will be mentioned in the following chapters, so please look forward to it.

As for some people saying that changing Hermione and Neville's house is the biggest ooc in this book...

What I'm saying is that I write fan fiction, and every action the protagonist takes has some small impact that changes the world.

If you want to read a novel that forcibly concludes the plot and returns to the original time and space, then it is recommended that you do not read fan fiction; the original work is more suitable.

If there are any mistakes in the author's book, please feel free to point them out.

……

Also, it’s on the shelves today, please be sure to give the author a first order!

The author hereby assures everyone that this book will never be abandoned.

After all, the author is an old flopper who has written two books. He has never changed his pen name and can be found by searching.

The previous book is a completed work of 160 million words, so it is guaranteed that it will not enter the palace.

……

Well, what's a better day today?

(Hint of first order, crazy hint)

Chapter 42 Dumbledore, you will regret it!

That night, on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, in the headmaster's office.

"Minerva, what made you change your mind and adopt this child?"

During dinner, Dumbledore noticed the conversation between his most capable deputy headmaster and Snape, Noah's nominal adoptive father.

So after the meal,

He motioned to several deans to come to his office for a talk.

"Noah's nature is not as bad as Tom Riddle's, although their growth trajectories are very similar..."

Professor McGonagall raised her voice tone unconsciously, "Moreover, his magical talent is unique among all the students I have ever seen."

"He's only a first-year student, but he's able to cast spells without a wand. In the first class, he even completed a transformation that many second-year students can't do."

She pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose, "If we don't cultivate his character well, considering his magical talent, it will be extremely dangerous to the future of the magic world."

"Therefore, leaving him to Severus to raise is not an appropriate choice."

Professor McGonagall looked at Snape with a bit of confrontation in her eyes, "As far as I know, Severus' attitude towards that child is not very good..."

"So, Albus, leave the child to me."

Faced with the aggressive Professor McGonagall, Snape was speechless for a moment.

He had no way to refute it, because what Professor McGonagall said was right. His attitude towards Noah was indeed not very good, and he would yell at him at every turn.

Of course, he had no way of explaining to Professor McGonagall that the brat was not just an ordinary child who needed him to raise, but his partner.

He signed a magic contract with Noah a week before school started.

The content of the contract is very simple, just two simple clauses:

Noah helps Snape find the Resurrection Stone.

Snape no longer helps Dumbledore to spy on Noah, and will help Noah hide the truth from Dumbledore, while teaching Noah his lifelong knowledge.

It is precisely because the two of them are in an equal partnership that Snape does not treat Noah like an ordinary child.

Originally, he had no obligation to fulfill any other obligations to his partners beyond the contract, and Noah was not an ordinary child who needed guardianship.

As a result, this guy lived in his house every day, ate his food and drank his drinks, and flirted with his daughter all day long!

It was good enough that Snape didn't use his sharp sword to sterilize Noah, but how could you expect him to treat Noah like a kind old father?

Dreaming!

So when he heard what Professor McGonagall said, Snape could only choose to shut his mouth silently, as if he was an insignificant mute.

But he didn't say anything, but the people around him couldn't help but keep silent.

"No, it's best to let Noah follow me."

Professor Flitwick, who was unaware of the truth, also stepped into this smokeless battlefield at this moment.

He stared at Dumbledore with burning eyes, "Albus, you have no idea how outrageous that child's talent is. He even created a kind of magic that I have never seen before!"

"He is just a young wizard who has just entered the magical world, but he has done something that even Nicolas Flamel may not be able to do!"

Dumbledore's brow furrowed slightly as he listened to Professor Flitwick's description of his first Charms class.

Why are these things about Noah...

So much time has passed since Noah moved into Snape's house, but he has never heard Snape talk about it?

He gave Snape a puzzled look, but because the other two deans were here, he didn't get Snape's response immediately.

"His magical talent should not be wasted! I can teach him all my life's knowledge!"
