Snape cast a soundproofing spell and dried his hair with magic. "Well, I went to the Forbidden Forest to see the unicorns."
Riddle was playing with a toy made of unicorn hair in his hand. "Be careful, there are giant acromantula in the Forbidden Forest."
"How do you know?" Snape suppressed a yawn.
"Maybe it's because I'm not a good student." Riddle thought. Of course he knew. It was he who discovered that Hagrid was raising an acromantula, and it was he who framed Hagrid for the basilisk's murder.
Snape responded with a hum as feedback and then asked, "Today is not Saturday."
"Just wanted to ask you how the start of school was going." Riddle had forgotten why he had opened the two-way mirror before. He would have just ignored it, but he didn't expect Snape to call back.
"...As usual." Snape was so sleepy that his mind was numb.
"Well, good night, have a good rest." Riddle said goodbye after hearing Snape's sleepiness.
"Good night……"
Almost as soon as Riddle finished speaking, Snape fell asleep, as fast as fainting.
I wasn't this tired before, but this morning I got up early, cleaned up my potions room, transferred all the materials to Peacock's space, packed up other things I needed for school, put various dust-proof and protective spells on the house, shut down the Floo Network, and sat on the train for most of the day. I was exhausted, and then I had to watch them sort the houses, hold a party, and finally go to the Forbidden Forest.
Tired rat.
Riddle put down the mirror and went to wash up, only to find that the call between the two had not been hung up when he came back. He thought Snape had something to talk to him about again, but when he picked up the mirror, he heard shallow breathing.
Snape woke up the next day feeling full of energy and talked to Peacock about changing his biological clock.
"It can only be moved forward, not backward." Peacock was very firm. Snape was not the kind of person who was born with little sleep. He had a normal sleep schedule. He went to bed at ten o'clock and got up at six o'clock. Now was just right. He was at the age of growing up, so why should he stay up late?
"Will you have dark circles, oily skin, hair loss and your development be affected?" Peacock asked back.
"Okay, I get it." Staying up late is the privilege of adults, so he should just go to bed.
In the third year, you can choose your courses. Snape chose Runes and Care of Magical Creatures.
Riddle also cared about Snape's course selection and asked him with a smile why he didn't choose Divination.
It seems that every little wizard fantasizes about being able to predict people's fate. Divination classes have always been very popular when the specific methods are not known. After asking the seniors, they will become obedient. Some of them will go to class despite not listening to advice. Basically, as long as the little wizard does not want to slack off in the class, they will drop out of the class halfway.
Pure waste of time.
"I don't believe in fate," Snape replied. He had been curious before, but Peacock was dismissive. She said:
"The Fairyland's Goddess of Time can see even the slightest changes in the future, the times that will follow countless different choices. Even so, she can't be completely sure that the future she sees is true. And you only see an outcome. Can you still call it a prophecy?"
Peacock couldn't understand their arrogance at all. Looking at Snape who seemed to be thinking about something, he said:
"All of your prophecies say that prophecies cannot be changed, but was it because you knew the prophecy and then acted accordingly, did it facilitate the prophecy, or was it fate that made you act that way?
Is it the so-called prophecies or human emotions that determine your future?
There has never been a saying in Wonderland that the future cannot be changed. If we really want to compete in prophecies, why are we fighting with Mandola? It would be better and save energy to just go find the Princess of Time and ask her to show us the future and see who wins and who loses.
The past cannot be changed, the present is always moving forward, and the future belongs to the strong.
Xifu, don't be trapped by so-called fate. You must become a strong person who is not afraid of fate."
"It feels like the prophecy is no different from pure-bloods." Snape sighed to Riddle at the time.
Riddle quickly realized what Snape meant - they were all man-made lies.
Riddle smiled happily. He was not a supporter of pure-blood. After all, he himself was a half-blood. His so-called support for pure-blood was more like coaxing those pure-blood families to work for him. As for the life and death of pure-bloods, he did not care.
Isn’t today’s so-called pure blood just a man-made lie?
He deceived those wizards who were not pure-blooded, and even deceived those pure-blooded wizards.
Generation after generation of inbreeding, if it weren't for magic protecting them, their end would be miserable. Just look at the human world. No, now they can see some of the harm.
In Snape's eyes, the prophecy is a similar existence, deceiving the person who makes the prophecy and the person who hears the prophecy. It is just a lie that has been told for so long that they really believe it is the truth.
That’s all about my opinion on Divination. In short, Snape only chose Runes and Care of Magical Creatures. He wanted to spend more time on things he liked instead of learning a bunch of subjects that he had no interest in and were useless.
Peacock usually attends classes with Snape, except for Potions class.
Then in the runes class, Snape was hit by Peacock again.
Because of their racial talents, peacocks are naturally able to understand the languages and writings created by intelligent creatures.
"Because I am a fairy of nature, and humans are part of nature, isn't it normal for us to understand what they say?" Peacock said in a Versailles manner.
"An enviable talent." Snape sighed, but Peacock gave him special attention in this subject and he made rapid progress.
Runes are a type of spell that is carved on stone, wood, metal, gemstone, etc. to allow the object to acquire the power of the spell. Snape used many things to practice and found that the power of the spell is linked to the material. The best carrier is the mirror transformed by the peacock, which is better than gems.
