[HP] Hymn of Hope

"If Albus was too strong in rejecting Umbridge's admission, the Ministry of Magic would have all the more reason to say that he was plotting to overthrow Fudge," Snape said.

"I don't think that Fudge is doing any serious business at all. Even if he steps down, it will only benefit the wizard." Yu Da said coldly.

Obviously, when he was in the Ministry of Magic, Yu Da always remembered the bad impression Fudge left on him.

"Where did you see the book I gave you?" Snape lowered his head and continued to correct his homework. Yu Da saw him frowning and writing a letter viciously on the parchment.

That must be bad.Yu Da guessed.

""Advanced Potion Production" is on page 53." Yu Da said.

"At school now, you can ask me if you don't understand something," Snape said. "Given your meager vocabulary."

Yu Da lowered his head in embarrassment, and cut the potion ingredients under his hands, "Okay, professor."

As soon as he entered the teaching mode, Yu Da didn't dare to resist this authoritative person in the slightest.

Yu Da felt that if he could have a dictionary——"Chinese-English Vocabulary Dictionary", he could save a lot of trouble for others.It is impossible for him to always ask others when he sees words he does not know. It is a pity that he dare not reveal such obvious flaws, so he can only guess and read slowly and inefficiently. Book.

When he was in Black's old house and Hogsmeade, he could always find someone to help him with his studies.

In the school, Yu Da couldn't run halfway across the castle to the cellar office to knock on the other's door just because he couldn't read a word.

Because of non-stop reading, Yu Da's vocabulary has improved dramatically, but with the replacement of more advanced textbooks, the frequency of unfamiliar words is also increasing.

By the time Yu Da finished processing the potion materials, Snape had also finished correcting the homework.

"Barely...qualified." Snape looked at the materials that Yu Da had processed, and gave such an evaluation noncommittally.

Yu Da looked at him unconvinced, obviously he has improved a lot compared to before, which is pretty good.

"You're not convinced?" Snape raised an eyebrow and gave him a haughty look.

Yu Da didn't dare to speak out, he didn't dare to have any objection to this surprisingly strict professor about teaching matters.

Seeing him not chewing, Snape snorted coldly, reached out and took a piece of potion ingredients, and cut them into exact slices with three strokes.

Looking at Snape's masterpiece, and then looking at his own, Yu Da wanted to die.

Sure enough, it is impossible to challenge the dignity of authority.

After hitting Yu Da, the satisfied Snape started to set up the cauldron, signaling the listless Yu Da to keep up and not to be in a daze.

Yu Da followed suit step by step, and after more than an hour, a pot of potion was completed.

"Not bad, I can give it an A." Snape looked at it, and gave Yu Da's finished product a rare evaluation.

"What is A?" Unfortunately, Yu Da asked incomprehensibly.

It can't be judged according to the grades of American education, right? A is the best grade.

"Acceptable, A." Snape gave him a very insincere smile.

"..." Yu Da.

A pass is not bad, Yu Da comforted himself. Long live 60 points.

Snape began to bottle the potion, and Yu Da also took the bottle and filled it.

What I made this time is raw bone water, so don't waste it, take it back to Ms. Pomfrey, and put it in the medical room for those students.

Yu Da was thinking here on his own, without realizing at all that his idea meant to curse the student's fracture.

"Professor, thank you for enlightening me after Mark passed away." Yu Da said while filling the bottle.

Now that his mood has completely calmed down, he can finally bring up the matter of Mark's death in front of others.

"I'm not trying to enlighten you, but you are so weak that people can't stand it." Snape glanced at him, took the filled medicine bottle in his hand, and planned to put it in the cabinet dedicated to medicine.

"..." Yu Da's shoulders were about to collapse. This professor's words could choke people to death.

He turned his head to look at Snape's back. Thinking of his complicated expression that day, he couldn't help asking, "Severus, did any of your relatives die at the hands of Voldemort?"

Yu Da's unexpected question made Snape startled, and accidentally dropped the potion bottle in his hand, fell to the ground, and smashed it into pieces.

"Ah!" Yu Da couldn't help shouting, it would be a waste if he fell.

Then, belatedly, he noticed that Snape's face became ugly.

Seeing his terrifying face, Yu Da couldn't help feeling afraid.

"Get out." Snape's voice was almost inaudible.

"Are you okay?" Yu Da asked concerned.

"Get out!" Snape almost growled.

Yu Da was taken aback, he had no idea where he had offended him again.

Running out of his office in a hurry, Yu Da walked to his dormitory.

"It's not true that some relatives died at the hands of Voldemort?" Yu Da stood still.

It doesn't have to be that scary, does it?

Yu Da grinned, not understanding.

For a long time after that, Snape never owled him again.

Yu Da couldn't help wondering if he was angry with him for what happened that day, so that he didn't dare to go to the cellar office to ask him if he had any questions.

As a last resort, he had no choice but to ask the old principal for help.

"I made Severus angry, what if he won't teach me anymore?" Yu Da sat in the principal's office worriedly.

"How is it possible?" Dumbledore ate the hard candy, chewing non-stop, and made a clear voice, "He has wanted an assistant for a long time, and it is impossible for him to give up for some reason."

"Maybe it's because I touched his sore spot." Yu Da said weakly with his shoulders slumped in frustration.

"Oh?" Dumbledore looked at him.

"He enlightened me about Mark that day," Yu Da pointed his fingers anxiously, rubbing them back and forth, "I thanked him for this matter, and then I was curious and asked him if he was also killed by Voldemort in the war A loved one died. I know I'm asking too directly." He hastily explained: "I'm just...just..."

"I want to comfort and encourage each other with him." Dumbledore said vaguely, biting the candy.

"Yes! That's it!" Yu Da nodded.

"I really didn't know he had such a big shadow and such a bad reaction." Yu Da was dejected.

"Hmm." Dumbledore finally finished eating the candy. He picked up a glass of lemon juice and took a sip.

Yu Da looked at him, frowned and said, "It's not good for the elderly to eat so much sugar! Be careful of high blood sugar."

"Haha, are you really going to enter St. Mungo's to be a healer? It's okay, I'm quite healthy despite my white beard." Dumbledore laughed, and then he straightened his face Said: "Severus did not lose his relatives during the war, but lost a very important friend, and he has been immersed in it until now. Many people died during that period, and everyone was more or less Relatives and friends were killed."

"I'm really sorry." Yu Da lowered his head.

"It's not all your fault. Severus' inability to get out of the pain is also the reason for your conflicts. Not everyone is like him, and they don't even want to mention it." Dumbledore said comfortingly.

"Do you think he will forgive me?" Yu Da asked anxiously.

"I think you know that he is easy to please sometimes." Dumbledore said meaningfully, and then blinked playfully.

Yu Da had an epiphany.

The most pleasing potion masters are of course fresh, never-before-seen potions and potion ingredients!
