Chapter 135 Snape’s Mental Journey
No one wants to see themselves being insulted by others. What people want to see is help in times of need. The same goes for Fred and George. The sharp-tongued Ada is an expert at stirring up trouble. The two brothers believe that with Ada fanning the flames, Mrs. Weasley will teach them an unforgettable lesson, and maybe the women's singles will continue. Upgraded to mixed doubles.
The two brothers started persuading Ada from the Twilight Cabin, using coercion, inducement, and both soft and hard tactics. However, Ada, who had just been burned by them, refused to accept this trick at all, and the persuasion did not make any progress.
On the way back to the castle, in order to avoid suffering a little less, Fred and George had to compromise with the "treacherous villain" Ada and ensure that they would work hard to attend classes in the next school year and not cause any more trouble to the organization.
Only then did Ada let them go, temporarily putting aside her plans to add fuel to the fire, so that the twins could have a good summer vacation. As for what happens next, it depends on their own consciousness. Ada feels that she is really too kind.
Neither talking nor laughing nor lively, the three of them made a fuss all the way, and only became a little quieter when they returned to the castle. The twins led Garen back to the common room first, while Ada wanted to go to Snape's place first. The Potions Professor asked her to take some time to go to the office today, but she didn't know what she was going to do.
After wandering around the castle, Ada came to Snape's office, but he was not here. Instead, he was taking stock of his personal collection in the nearby private storage room.
The door of the storage room was open, and Snape was standing on the ladder taking inventory. Ada knocked on the door gently, and then said: "Professor Snape, did you ask me to come here today?"
Snape came down from the ladder, looked at Ada and said, "You can come later, after the school year dinner is over, or after you board the train back to London."
The best choice was not to speak at this time. If he spoke more, Snape might have points deducted at the buzzer. Ada believed that he could do such a thing, so she could not give him such an opportunity.
Snape took out a small leather bag from his robe and threw it directly to Ada, whose silence was golden. The small leather bag made the sound of gold coins colliding in the air. Ada subconsciously reached out to catch it and found that it looked familiar. Except that it didn't have her name embroidered on it, it was exactly the same as the small leather bag she received at the end of last year.
"For me?" Ada asked uncertainly, "And the one from last year..."
Last year, Ada received the money bag. At that time, she had several suspects, including Snape, but Ada felt that he was the least likely one, and the twins directly excluded him. .
Snape taught Ada another lesson today, telling her that anything is possible.
"The brain will get rusty if it is not used for a long time. If you don't want to use it, you can donate it to those in need." Snape walked back and continued to count the items, "You deserve these. I received some magic." Potion order, the potion you brew is part of the order.
Snape was not just a professor at Hogwarts, he was also a famous potion master. People who wanted to make potions from him could queue from this end of the Leaky Cauldron to the other end of Diagon Alley.
There were many people who invited Snape to make potions, and it was impossible for him to accept them all. He would only accept orders that were difficult to refuse or that were difficult.
However, at the beginning of this school year, Snape selected some of the orders that were suitable for Ada, and these orders became what she needed to learn during her "confinement".
When Ada completes the potion production of the order, Snape will deliver the goods according to the address on the order, and he explained to the other party before accepting the order that he did not make the potion himself, he was only the producer.
But even so, everyone is still willing to order potions from Snape. After all, his reputation is well-known, and the products produced by the potions master are a guarantee of quality and can be trusted.
This is the brand effect. Although these potions were made by a second-year girl, the price has doubled because of Snape. If Snape's influence was taken away, these potions would be junk that no one cares about and have no value at all.
Ada didn't move or speak, but Snape, who had his back turned to her, continued: "Aren't you going to leave yet? You are not in good condition or you are lost. Do you want me to give you a ride?"
"No, I can do it myself. I can find my way back to the auditorium." Ada said, "Thank you, Professor." After expressing her gratitude, Ada ran away. I was so moved, but I couldn't let Snape's poisonous tongue destroy me, it would be too disgraceful.
Listening to the sound of Ada's running gradually disappearing, Snape also stopped what he was doing, locked the private storage room, and walked slowly towards the auditorium. There will be a school year dinner to attend soon, and the College Cup will be awarded today.
In fact, Snape's attitude towards Ada has always been a bit complicated, which is also reflected in his poisonous tongue. Many times, Snape clearly meant for Ada and cared about her, but when Snape opened his mouth to speak, it was completely different.
Snape's words sounded more like bitter sarcasm. Unless he broke his words into pieces and thought about it carefully, no one would be able to hear concern from them, and good things would be ruined by his bad words.
In the first year, Snape really didn't like Ada. In his eyes, Ada was a reckless, self-righteous, stupid Gryffindor.
If it were just like this, it would be nothing. At most, she would be treated the same as other Gryffindors, but Ada also had green eyes, which made Snape hate her even more.
Ada wanders around the castle at night and accidentally discovers Welfare's conspiracy, which could put her life in danger at any time. Dumbledore didn't want her to be harmed by welfare, so he taught Snape the work of protecting Ada.
The workload increased sharply, and Snape, who was forced to work overtime, had a worse attitude towards Ada, which led to various difficulties and confinement in the future.
After the disabled and strong-willed Welfare resigned, Snape felt that his task had been completed, and he finally no longer had to worry about Ada, and the confinement was over.
As a result, we all know that Foley took advantage of this loophole and Ada was also in danger. This annoying Muggle-born girl was in danger, and Snape actually felt a trace of remorse and guilt.
Snape was surprised that he would have such emotions. This kind of self-blame and guilt had not appeared in him for a long time. For this reason, he went to talk to Dumbledore specifically.
After that conversation, Snape felt that he should make up for his mistakes, so he continued to confine Ada, give her some help, and take some potion orders that he had never bothered to take before.
As the two spent more time together, Snape gradually discovered the shining points in Ada, changing his previous view of her.
Snape is helping Ada, and at the same time he is helping himself. It is a kind of redemption for his past and the redemption of the lily that has long since withered in his life.
