Chapter 333 Happy Birthday, Harry!

"Professor, have you ever heard of the name Lily Evans?"

Harry's voice echoed in the empty Potions classroom. The sound hit the cold wall, causing a faint echo, like a dementor's arm, squeezing Snape's heart hard. one time.

Snape's expression froze for a moment.

His greasy black hair hung like a curtain around his skinny face. There was a helpless and trance-like look in his cold black eyes. His bloodless lips murmured twice but failed to make any sound.

"Professor? Professor Snape?"

Harry swallowed nervously and forced himself to stare directly into Professor Snape's cold eyes - Elena once said that when facing Professor Snape, muster up the courage to look into the eyes. , far better than cowardly avoiding sight.

"Lily—your mother—"

After Snape was silent for a few seconds, he repeated Harry's words with some difficulty, as if it was very difficult to say these few words. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked into Harry's eyes. replied calmly.

"Of course, your mother and I entered school in the same year...but she was in Gryffindor and I was in Slytherin."

It has to be said that time changes more than just the page numbers on the calendar.

Eleven years have passed, and Severus Snape is no longer the immature young man he was. After experiencing so many things and so many years of teaching career, he is much more mature and stable than he was back then—— So although it was a bit unexpected, it didn't mean that he would show some ugly panic when faced with the problem of Lily's child.

"Really?! Professor, can you tell me more stories about my mother?"

Harry had a look of surprise on his face and couldn't help but take a step forward and said excitedly.

"I have been living in Uncle Vernon's house for as long as I can remember. They never took the initiative to talk about my parents. It wasn't until Hagrid came to pick me up that I knew that they didn't die. It was a car accident, but he was killed by Voldemort because he protected me..."

"Don't say that name!"

Snape shuddered involuntarily, gritted his teeth with a gloomy expression, and growled in a low voice.

Neither Harry nor Elena had ever seen Professor Snape like this before.

Although he usually looks cold and ruthless, at least he is stern like Professor McGonagall, not like he is now... like a wounded beast, panting slightly, staring at Harry. s eyes.

"I'm sorry, Professor, I just..."

Facing the terrifying look on Snape's face, Harry was so frightened that he subconsciously took a step back and bumped into the edge of the desk behind him, causing the chairs behind him to hit each other, making a dull crashing sound.

"After dinner today, come find me in my office, alone."

Snape waved his hand somewhat rudely, interrupting Harry's next words, pointed to the door of the underground classroom, and issued the order of expulsion in an indifferent tone that could not be ignored.

"Now, you can leave the classroom. I have some things to do."

The last sentence was obviously said to the two little girls sitting side by side behind him, watching the excitement curiously.

All the memories about Lily Evans, according to Snape's original idea, were originally intended to be buried in his heart forever, if Harry hadn't asked for it.

And in this emotionally unstable situation, Snape is not completely sure what he will say, so he must calm down alone - think about what things he can tell Lily's son , and what stories Lily would want her children to know if she were still around.

However, before that... Snape had one very important thing to do.

"Albus Dumbledore..."

Looking at the backs of the three little wizards disappearing through the door, Snape narrowed his eyes dangerously and said softly.

"You old guy, what did you say to this kid?"

There is no doubt that if he had not received some tips from some people, Harry Potter, who had just come into contact with the wizarding world, would never have been able to ask him about Lily after the first Potions class. .

Ever since eleven years ago, Severus Snape had been very clear that Albus Dumbledore's credibility was not as reliable as people rumored. Dumbledore is also a human being. He also makes mistakes and has fun.

Snape had every reason to believe that in order to ensure that he could keep his promise to take care of Harry, it was entirely possible for Dumbledore to inadvertently reveal and point out some secrets to Harry - he didn't even have to say it himself. , Hagrid, Mag... can help him do all this.

"The key to the current question is...what does Harry know?"

Snape frowned in annoyance and stormed out of the Potions classroom, heading straight towards the Great Hall.

If Professor Dumbledore can't explain this matter clearly and give a reasonable explanation at noon today, then Dumbledore probably won't be able to eat this meal with peace of mind.

…

However, compared to the angry Professor Snape and the spicy old carrot who was about to face a scapegoat who couldn't explain the blame at all, Elena was obviously in a good mood after leaving the underground classroom.

This was an important plot turning point that she had been planning from the first moment she met Harry. Judging from everything that happened in the classroom today, whether it was Harry Potter or Severus Snee Generally speaking, it should be difficult for them to return to the state of mutual hostility and hatred as in the original work in the previous life.

Not to mention that after receiving bonus points for the questions and answers in this Potions class, Elena could feel that Harry's attitude towards Potions class gradually changed from a "finding mother" task to a real interest and liking. direction.

To be honest, even if Elena hadn't leaked the question, Harry's potion talent was not bad at all - after all, he was still able to get good results in the O.W.Ls exam in a completely conflicting learning state. What a genius.

Elena had no doubt that with a good start in this life, Harry, who had tasted the benefits once, would never give up Potions so easily. This is actually not difficult to understand. After all, people always prefer to do things that they are good at and have achieved results, just like Harry loves Quidditch so much.

The most important thing is that Professor Snape's attitude towards Harry is obviously very different.

Harry Potter, who showed talent in potions, in Snape's eyes, has gradually changed from "Potter's child" to "Lily's child", and at worst, "Lily and Potter's child" - -Elena noticed that in just two lessons, Snape's name for Harry had changed from "Potter" to "Harry".

…

Hogwarts kitchen.

"Okay, it's done, this is your birthday gift! Do you like it?"

Elena carefully used black pepper juice to outline the words HP+1 on the steak plate. She turned around happily and served it to Harry who stood helplessly near the door and looked at the busy kitchen curiously.

"The performance this morning was quite good. Due to limited time and the fact that the materials were not prepared in advance, this steak Wellington that I cooked by myself should be regarded as a reward for you - try it. It should be the next week's school For dinner, there will be a new dish in the kitchen.”

"But... eldest sister, today is not my birthday."

Harry subconsciously picked up the plate and looked at the steaming, golden and crispy mysterious steak in front of him. He couldn't help but swallow hard, and said with some hesitation, "Did you remember it wrong..."

"Your birthday is July 31st, right? I looked at the calendar, yes, it's today!"

"Today is a special day. You are finally able to find your mother's footprints. This alone is very worthy of celebration and commemoration. Not to mention, you also won Gryffindor's Potions Class title for the first time. Five points.”

Elena glanced at Hermione who was hesitating to speak next to her, put her hands on her hips, raised her eyebrows, and spoke in a tone that left no excuse.

"Anyway, if I say today is your birthday, it's your birthday!"

"Happy birthday, Harry!"

Today is Harry's birthday, so I'll add another chapter!

This chapter is dedicated to Harry Potter and all the little wizards who believe in and like the magical world as much as Fat Chicken~~
