Chapter 16 The ‘Dementor’ outside the platform

After the Malfoy brothers left, the atmosphere in the box seemed to ease. Neville let go of his fist, but Hermione did not continue reading.

"Do you think I should beat him up, Neville?"

Harry glanced at Neville and sat back next to him.

"The Malfoy family has a bad reputation." Neville nodded, "He is a Death Eater, Lucius Malfoy."

"Yes, his dad is a bastard, but I can't think he is right just because his dad is a murderer. If you can change it, then forget it. If you can't change it, then settle the account."

Neville nodded and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"What's wrong, Hermione, it seems quite surprising to see how you look?"

"I thought I would do it."

"Don't be so prejudiced, okay, I hit people openly in the ring game. I didn't learn boxing to bully ordinary people, just Draco's body. I punched me either a severe concussion or a skull fracture. Do you think of me as a violent maniac?"

Harry rolled his eyes, "Look, this is prejudice, am I such an unreasonable person?"

He stretched, pulled his backpack and leaned against the wall and narrowed his eyes.

"This Hogwarts drives very slowly."

Looking at the fields outside the window, Harry took a nap in a daze.

He was awakened by Hermione. The sky outside the window was already dark, and the imminent arrival meant that they needed to change into their college uniforms.

"The train will arrive in Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave the greeting in the car and we will take you to the school for you."

The voice of the conductor echoed in the car, and more and more little wizards left the private room, and the aisle was stuffed.

Many freshmen were lying on the window and looking out, but they could not see anything except the dark night, and they could not see the shadow of the castle at all.

The vehicles stopped, and the passengers pushed and shoved, rushed to the door, and went down to a dark and small platform. The cold at night made people shudder. A thick street light on the platform, oh, it was Hagrid. He was holding a huge kerosene lantern, which looked like a street light, after all, he was too tall.

"First-year freshmen! First-year freshmen come here!"

Hagrid greeted loudly, and he saw Harry's eyes in the crowd.

"Harry, come here, is the holiday okay?"

“Awesome Hagrid.”

Harry squeezed through the abortion and gave Hagrid a hug. The giant smiled happily and patted Harry on the back.

"In the future, you can come to my place for tea when you have time, but now - a freshman in the first grade! Come to me!"

Hagrid's loud voice spread throughout the station, and the little wizard passing by him stuffed his ears so that his head would not buzz later.

The young wizards who entered school this year lined up in a loose queue, surrounded by Hagrid and looked up at him.

"All people are here, then let's go."

Hager waved, and then led the team away from the station first. However, after walking two steps, Hager's oil lamp shone on a black shadow. A ghost wearing a black robe floated gloomyly in the dark night. Several brave little wizards were scared and screamed. Hager waved his hand to the crowd and then spoke to the black shadow.

"Professor Snape, can you not scare people in big black robes at night? I thought it was a dementor just now."

Hagrid patted his chest with lingering fear. He had been to Azkaban for a few days, and that period left him with terrible memories that would never be forgotten.

"Maybe." Snape's face appeared from the darkness, "You can ask me to get a potion to cure your eyes."

"Do I look like a dementor?" Snape laughed sinisterly, and everyone couldn't help but shrink back, they were frightened.

"Give me aside." Hagrid murmured in a low voice, "As long as you don't run into the woods in the middle of the night, I'll be grateful."

"Okay, Professor Snape, what's the point of doing here? I have to send my freshman to the castle soon."

"I'll find someone."

Snape said expressionlessly, "Where is Pote, come with me."

His eyes swept across, and he saw Harry, who was very conspicuous in the crowd at a glance.

"You can take the others away first, he will follow you later." Snape waved his hand and said coldly: "Follow me, Pote."

He hid in the darkness, walking without even sound of footsteps.

People's eyes were focused on Harry's face, and he stood next to Hagrid. The kerosene lamp illuminated his face. Whether he knew Harry or not, at this moment, they couldn't help but think of something bad. After all, Snape was so scary.

Harry hesitated for a moment. He had no idea why Snape was looking for him, but this had reached the territory of Hogwarts. Maybe nothing might be wrong?

Harry swallowed, and clenched his teeth and walked along the direction Snape had just left.

He looked back and Hagrid led the other freshmen down the path.

"Break↑Special ↓"

Snape's voice appeared in the darkness, as suddenly as he had just disappeared, Harry's goosebumps were all raised, half scared, and the other half scared.

A ball of light lit up, and the light ball that illuminated the illumination dispelled the darkness. Harry turned his head suddenly and found that Snape stood silently beside him at some point, his face close to him.

"Can you not be so scary, Professor Snape?"

Harry took his arms and took a step back half a step back, and he felt like he had entered the thief's nest.

"Sure," Snape murmured at Harry's face, "Your eyes are exactly the same as your mother."

Snape straightened his waist and looked at Harry with a scrutiny look.

"I'm here to tell you something, Pot."

Snape's voice was very light, but his whispering sounds magically made people hear every syllable clearly.

"I, Severus Snape, are your godfather."

"What did you say?!"

Harry was almost scared to death in an instant. This news is no more scary than Voldemort taking a 50-point Desert Eagle to shoot him in the head?

"You are my godfather?" Harry stared at Snape in disbelief, who had a smile on his lips in front of him, "Where is Sirius Black?"

Snape's face suddenly became gloomy, so dark that it seemed like it was about to drip.

"Why is this guy Hagrid saying everything out?" Snape grumbled in a low voice, and in his impression, Hagrid's mouth that didn't know the door would tell Harry about these things.

"So too."

Harry saw Snape's face twitching when he said this.

A person can only have one godmother, but there are usually two godfathers. After the child is born, parents will invite local prestigious people or their friends to be the godfathers of the child. There is also a saying: This world is too dangerous, and children need at least two fathers to protect their healthy growth.

"Your mother and I are good friends. We have known each other since we were young. Of course, I also knew your aunt. She also wanted to go to Hogwarts at that time, so I sent the letter to her for help."

"But after I became a wizard, I basically had no contact."

"Then" Harry's face showed a hint of hesitation. He didn't know that there were some things he should say, not say.

"What's wrong, Harry?" Snape raised his eyebrows slightly.

"There was a saying in the community that bats became elfs every Christmas time."

"I'm not, I don't, not me."

Snape shook his head quickly, then coughed seriously.

"Well, yes~ look at this."

Snape pulled out a photo from his arms and then placed it in front of Harry. This was a photo, a modified photo. James and Lily stood in front, Lily holding the newly born Harry in her arms, with a weak but happy smile on her face. Behind them, a kobold was secretly confronting Snape.

The magical photos can move. Harry saw Snape and Sirius fighting with their hands on their backs, no matter how they beat and lost.

"I think this photo is not very realistic, so I beautified it for him."

Snape curled his lips, and Sirius's dog head was definitely what he did.

"This Black is not a good thing. If you see him in the future, don't believe a word. Of course, you won't see him in the future, that bastard!"

He spitted, and even showed a murderous light in his eyes.

"Ah, it's not if you and my mother are childhood sweethearts since childhood, then what?"

"Because you're too familiar." Snape covered his forehead and spoke with pain, "Your mother said she's too familiar, we're too familiar, so it's cheap for your father James to be a mess."

"She also said to introduce me to her best friend, however." Snape sighed, "I couldn't wait for that day."

"It's all--" Snape gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, but he didn't continue to say it.

"I'm here to tell you this, Harry." Snape reached out and patted Harry on the head, "But at school, call me professor, don't tell anyone else."

Snape raised his finger and put it beside his mouth, "Remember?"

Seeing Harry nodding, Snape pointed to the darkness ahead, "Go, Hogwarts is still waiting for you."

"By the way, there is one more thing. When you go to the branch office later, just choose Slytherin. Remember, think about going to the Slytherin and don't think about Gryffindor. Your mother was just being hurt by those brainless fools. I don't want you to repeat the same mistake, Harry."

Snape spoke seriously, not joking at all.

"But."
