Chapter 627 The dishonest old man

"No, no, no! I absolutely do not mean to discriminate against or distrust you. You know, I am also a Muggle wizard! I just think it might be a little unsafe for you to work next to Professor Snape. After all, his attitude towards non-pure-blood wizards in the past was not very good!"

Hermione explained anxiously.

In her opinion, it was the worst decision for Mike to assign a squib like Ms. Kate to take care of Snape.

You know, Snape used to be a Death Eater. No matter what their personality is, this kind of people have a famous characteristic, that is, they are extreme supporters of blood supremacy!

Hermione didn't think Snape would be an exception. After all, he still maintained his hatred for Muggles when he was in Hogwarts!

Therefore, if Ms. Kate stayed with Snape, her life would be in danger!

When these words came out, everyone at the scene was stunned.

Hermione seemed to think that what she had said was not enough, and continued:

"Ms. Kate, we are good friends with your big boss, Mike Townley. For your safety, I can propose to him to transfer you to a better position. As for a dangerous person like Professor Snape, I personally think it is better for him to live alone." Only

then did Ms. Kate finally realize that she had misunderstood Hermione. She stepped forward, touched Hermione's cheek and said with a smile:

"Oh! What a kind girl! I appreciate your kindness, but I still want to stay here and take care of Mr. Snape."

"But..."

Hermione wanted to say something else, but Ms. Kate interrupted directly:

"I think I can still tell whether a person is good or bad. I have taken care of Mr. Snape for a long time, and according to my observation, Mr. Snape is definitely not as bad as you said. Am I right? Mr. Snape."

After that, Kate cast her gaze on Snape, who had been silent aside.

Snape's face was already red with pain at this time. Seeing this, he came out in a flash, raised his robe vigorously, and said in a deep and oppressive voice:

"You are wrong, I am the kind of person she said! I was a Death Eater! You, stupid woman, better leave as soon as possible, otherwise I will kill you sooner or later!"

Snape paused as if he realized something, and then continued:

"Although I can't use magic now! But I am a man! It's easy to kill you, a woman! I can sneak attack you while you are working! Cut your throat while you are sleeping! I can also knock you out with one punch!"

After saying that, Snape raised his already red face and looked at everyone with an expression of "What, are you scared?"

In his opinion, after he behaved like this, Harry and the other two should leave tactfully, and the stupid woman who kept asking him to wash his hair and change clothes would also flee in fear!

The fact was almost what he expected. After hearing this, the expressions of Harry and the other two suddenly turned dark, especially Harry. The good impression he had finally established about Snape was almost completely destroyed by Snape's words.

Unfortunately, when things came to Kate, some unexpected things happened. She was stunned for a moment, but then she laughed with her hands covering her mouth.

Strictly speaking, although Ms. Kate's laughter was loud, it was not unpleasant, and it had nothing to do with the so-called goose calls.

But at this moment, this laughter sounded a little harsh to Snape's ears.

"What are you laughing at!?"

Snape roared angrily, and after hearing this, Ms. Kate finally realized that her behavior was inappropriate. She covered her mouth and said reluctantly in a breathless voice:

"Sorry! Sorry! I really didn't... mean it! It's just... it's just that Mr. Snape, you are so cute!"

Snape became even more angry after these words. Seeing this, Hermione's hand had already reached into her pocket, ready to take out her wand to deal with Snape's sudden attack at any time.

But what surprised her was that even though he was so angry, Snape still had no intention of taking action.

He was just bluffing with a red face and thick neck.

This scene made Hermione understand some things.

Since Mike would let Mrs. Kate, a squib, take care of Snape, he must have made sufficient preparations for security.

Although I don't know what this preparation is, it must be a very advanced and powerful method, otherwise Snape would not be so cautious.

As for the option that Snape would be a good person, Hermione never considered it from the beginning.

What a joke! If people like Snape can become good people, there will be no dark wizards in this world!

After laughing for a while, Mrs. Kate finally calmed down gradually. She panted and stepped forward to pat Snape's back, and said in a tone like coaxing a child:

"Okay, okay! I know you are very powerful, and I am also afraid of you. Don't be angry."

Snape waved Kate's hand away. He was not a real child, so he would not be coaxed so easily.

Seeing this, Ms. Kate was not angry. She first rolled her eyes at Snape, and then her eyes fell on Harry.

Ms. Kate nodded to Harry imperceptibly, then smiled and walked forward to hold Hermione and Ron's hands, and took them upstairs.

As they walked, she said:

"Okay, now let me take you to visit this villa. If you want, it's not impossible to go to Mr. Snape's bedroom! But I don't recommend you go there. It's very messy there, and there is always a strange sour smell. No matter how much deodorant I use, it can't get rid of it."

Faced with Ms. Kate's pulling, Hermione did not refuse. She knew very well that the other party did this to leave a separate space for Harry and Snape.

But Ron was not so smart.

Although he showed a curious expression when he heard it, he still wanted to ask Harry to go to visit together.

Of course, Hermione would not let him do such a stupid thing, and stopped him very neatly.

When the three disappeared at the stairs, Harry and Snape were the only ones left in the spacious living room downstairs.

However, when the two were really alone, the atmosphere became even more awkward, because both Harry and Snape remained silent, and didn't even want to look at each other.

In this damn silence, Harry's expression gradually became lost.

He found that perhaps his relationship with Snape would not improve as he had expected.

After all, although Snape did so many things for him in secret, his bad character was still not likable.

Most importantly, he had also bullied Harry before!

Looking at Harry's light green eyes that had dimmed over time, Snape finally couldn't help it.

He frowned and said in a rough voice:

"I really don't know what's in your troll's head! You actually chose to come to see me!"

Harry is no longer the little wizard in Hogwarts. Hearing this, he immediately raised his head and retorted:

"I don't know what's in your head! You actually protected the son of my rival!"

"You..."

Snape was furious when he heard this, pointing at Harry with a trembling finger, and was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Seeing his expression, Harry felt a lot more comfortable.

He instinctively looked at Snape's leg hidden in his robe, and asked in a nonchalant manner:

"I heard from Mike that they broke your leg?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine now!"

"Really?"

Seeing Harry's unbelieving look, Snape was angry.

He directly opened his robe and pointed to his right leg, which had a little metallic luster but was the same size as normal, and said:

"Take a good look at it yourself! I'm really fine!"

"Oh, that's really good."

Harry said the words of agreement, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"Why do I feel that you are not satisfied?"

"You noticed? Yes, that's right." Harry said directly without any concealment, "I was expecting to see you limping like Moody. But now you are just like a normal person, which is really disappointing."

"You are as arrogant and conceited as your father, and have a bad temper! Maybe you also need someone to jump out and give you a blow to make you regret it!"

Snape roared loudly, but he felt something was wrong as soon as he finished speaking.

Because the person who just gave Harry's father a blow was Voldemort.

He said this, which was undoubtedly rubbing salt into Harry's wound.

His eyes flickered, but then he stared at Harry closely.

He thought that the young man in front of him would be furious and slam the door and leave.

This is also good, it is always good to stay away from people like him.

Thinking of this, Snape's eyes became cold and empty as usual.

But Harry didn't get angry as he imagined. He just nodded, as if he agreed with Snape's words.

This shocked Snape.

"Well, let's stop this meaningless quarrel." Harry said calmly, "I came here not only to see you, but also to ask you. What are you going to do next? I mean the matter between you and me. Are you going to let more people know?"

"Don't rush to answer, listen to me first. My idea is this. Michael has clearly told me that you will be released after the war is over. If you are willing to make the matter between you and me public, then I will explain to Sirius, Lupin and others and let them eliminate their misunderstandings about you. In this way, we can all live happily together. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Snape was silent.

He just stood there, looking at Harry's blue eyes, and after a long while he answered the question:

"You know? Your eyes really look like hers. Every time I see these eyes, I will think of the good old days."

"I know, it's clearly recorded in the memory you gave me."

Snape's mouth twitched, and then he said:

"I hope this matter can be a secret between you and me. Compared to making this matter public, I want to take it to the grave, otherwise I would not choose to tell you at that time. In addition, I don't want to live with you. To be honest, I hate Black, I hate Lupin, and I hate your face even more! If I have to face you every day, I would rather die!"

Harry's expression became a little strange after hearing this.

Because he had already told many people about him and Snape, including Mike.

Judging from the speed at which gossip spreads from person to person, this news should have almost reached Lupin and Sirius.

But he obviously wouldn't say such a thing at this moment, so Harry just coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and then quickly changed the subject:

"What are you going to do next?"

"Don't worry about that, I'm a world-famous potion master!" Snape said proudly, "Obviously not everyone ignores my ability like you little trolls. I have already received countless invitations, including the International Pharmacists Association. Of course, I won't go there, if I can, I will still return to Hogwarts."

"Hogwarts? That's a good choice. You know, Headmaster Flitwick is almost crazy because of the staffing problem now."

Listening to Harry's somewhat excited words, Snape chuckled disdainfully and said:

"Ha! Of course. Well, if you have nothing to do, get out of here. I'm annoyed when I see you!" As

soon as Snape finished speaking, Ms. Kate and Hermione came down the stairs.

Obviously, he said this to them.

Harry no longer wanted to stay here, so he pulled Hermione and Ron toward the door, saying solemnly as he walked:

"I'll come to see you, Professor Snape. Also, if I have a child in the future, I'll add your name to his middle name."

Harry's words made Snape, who had turned his head away and deliberately avoided looking at Harry, shudder.

The next moment, he turned his head sharply and looked toward the door.

But all they saw was the closed door and the empty living room.

For a moment, Snape's expression became a little lonely.

Mrs. Kate saw all this, and she stepped forward and hugged Snape's head in her arms with sympathy.

But Snape broke free from her arms again and glared at her angrily.

Kate laughed.

She laughed and patted Snape's shoulder.

As she said before, she liked Snape's cute expression of being angry but not daring to do anything to her!

On the other side, Harry and the other two were already walking slowly towards the exit of the villa area under the leadership of the middle-aged wizard in black robes.

Along the way, Ron kept complaining about the various strange objects he saw upstairs, looking extremely excited.

But Harry didn't listen to a word.

Now he was in a complicated mood.

After walking a long way, the exit of the villa area had appeared in everyone's sight.

But Harry suddenly turned his head and headed towards the villa where Snape was.

The next moment, a smile bloomed on Harry's face.

Because although they were a little far away, he still saw Snape standing at the second-floor window looking at them.

The other party seemed to have noticed Harry's sight and disappeared in an instant.

"Ha! What a dishonest old fellow! With your personality, it's a miracle that you could have pursued my mother!"

Harry complained and then slowly walked out.
