Snape's visit

In the afternoon, Dean wasn't in high spirits, even though he was supposed to be the protagonist of the day, but he still had a bit of a smile on his face, at least his younger siblings had a great time at the playground.

When they returned home in the evening, Dean was on the verge of despair, because he hadn't thought of a reason to convince his family.

According to the notice, he had to write back by 24:00 p.m. to confirm his admission to Hogwarts, and Dean guessed that if he didn't return by then, he would lose the opportunity forever.

　　Mrs. Thomas had just opened her door when a letter in the same envelope as the morning's fluttered down in front of Dean.

Apparently the letter had been delivered early, and Dean's family trip had allowed him to avoid it perfectly.

　　After picking up the letter, Dean immediately rushed back to his room and couldn't wait to open it only to see that it read, "I will be visiting before 18:00 sharp. Professor McGonagall."

　　Minerva McGonagall? The vice-principal of Hogwarts, the head of Gryffindor House, is actually coming to visit in person?

　　Dean immediately had a feeling of being flattered.

　　Dean hurriedly glanced at the clock above his bed and found that the time had come to 17:59.

　　"Shit!" Dean secretly said a bad word and rushed towards the door.

Dean didn't want the unprepared Thomas couple to face Professor McGonagall straight away. Although Professor McGonagall was a nice person, she was also known for her strictness, and Dean wasn't sure if she could get along with a Muggle couple.

　　Dean's fears proved not to be misplaced.

　　The doorbell was rung at exactly 18:00 as he rushed to the door, out of breath.

　　Dean took a few deep breaths and tried to look calm - his attempts were clearly unsuccessful.

　　Dean opened the door and found that it was not Professor McGonagall standing outside, but a middle-aged man in a black cloak with greasy black hair, a hawkish nose and waxy skin.

　　Dean was so nervous that he couldn't breathe. He immediately recognized the man in front of him as Severus Snape, the head of Slytherin House!

　　There must be a mistake somewhere! I thought it was Professor McGonagall's visit? How come it's Snape?

People who have read the original book are well aware that Professor McGonagall, even if strict, is a hundred times better than Snape!

　　Dean unconsciously went through the parts about Snape in the original book quickly in his mind, hoping to find a way to get along "harmoniously" with Snape.

Unfortunately, he found nothing.

　　Dean swallowed a mouthful of saliva, under the sharp eyes of Snape, he felt as if he had been seen through.

　　Just then a system prompt appeared in front of Dean's eyes: "Detected the host is under the attack of "Legilimens" the skill has been activated."

　　Dean was shocked, could this be the way to activate a magic skill? It was only possible to take a hit of the corresponding magic skill?

　　Wouldn't that mean that if he wanted to activate the three Unforgivable Curses that Hogwarts doesn't teach, he would have to experience them one by one?

Dean was instantly upset, he didn't think he could survive the Avada Kedavra like Harry Potter, the chosen one.

　　It really takes a beating to become stronger!

What made Dean even more alarmed was that he was recalling Snape's eventful life, and this was read by Snape, so does that mean he knows what's going to happen in the future now?

Knowing his own eventual fate, Will Snape make the same choice as the original?

This ... should not change the history of the entire Wizarding World, right?

After realizing that he seemed to have inadvertently made a big mistake, Dean hurriedly stopped thinking and tried to empty his brain, but unfortunately for a boy who has never been exposed to Occulemency, this is simply impossible.

At the same time, Snape opposite of Dean also felt a trace of frustration.

　　Under normal circumstances

Snape should be preparing magic potions in his own home in Spinner's End at this moment.

　　It's a pity that he just prepared a bottle of energy potion, and before he could check the quality of the finished product, he was spoiled by a sudden owl.

　　Professor Minerva McGonagall, who was ready to visit the Thomas family, was caught up in another more important matter and asked Snape to take over.

You can imagine the reluctance and irritation in Snape's heart at the time, as if the food had been set in front of him, but was thrown off the table.

If not for the fact that Professor McGonagall is the Vice Principal of Hogwarts, Snape will definitely try to refuse this request.

　　Snape held back the discomfort in his heart and forced himself to come to the door of Thomas' house and reluctantly rang the doorbell.

The door was opened by a tall, thin, dark-skinned boy - according to Professor McGonagall's letter, this boy should be Dean Thomas.

When Snape's eyes fell on the boy's tender face, he couldn't help but freeze for a moment, and his normally calm heart suddenly became agitated.

Snape involuntarily used Legilimency on Dean.

　　This has never happened to Snape, who has always prided himself on his calmness.

The moment Snape used Legilimency on Dean, Snape regretted it, but he was quickly drawn to what he was reading from Dean's mind--a long stretch of incomprehensible exotics Words, if he was not mistaken, those words seemed to belong to the far east?

　　If Dean knew the doubts in Snape's mind at this time, he would have laughed out loud. It turned out that his previous worries were all overthinking.

　　Dean saw Harry Potter in his previous life is the Chinese translation, so he just recalled the contents are presented in Chinese characters,

Dean is at this point is full of resentment towards Snape, as expected of the most disliked professor in the original, actually using Legilimenceon a student who hasn't even enrolled

Noticing Dean's frightened eyes with a bit of resentment, Snape laughed at himself, and couldn't help but justify his impulse: "It seems that you have an extraordinary talent for language."

　　Dean listened to a little confused, for a moment could not figure out what Snape meant by this.

　　Snape did not expect a boy who was not yet officially enrolled in school to understand his implication and looked squarely at Dean for confirmation, "Dean Thomas?"

"Yes, that's right..... And you are?" Dean stammered and asked.

　　At this moment he has not figured out why Snape still so calm after seeing the drama, but since the other party did not actively mention what just happened, he is happy to play confused.

"I was entrusted by Prof. McGonagall to come here to help you solve a little enrollment ... problem." Snape said with a stern face and curled lips.

"Uh, I was hoping you could explain to my parents everything about Hogwarts and the Wizarding World and convince them to agree that I should go to school there." Dean said immediately.

　　He didn't want to spend a second longer with Snape.

　　"Dean, who's there?" At that very moment, seeing Dean went to open the door halfway, the Thomas's appeared behind him together.

　　Snape's eyes crossed over Dean and looked toward the Thomas's.

　　Dean could clearly feel that Snape lingered longer on Mrs. Thomas.

　　Just when he was puzzled by this, he was shocked to find that Snape raised his wand at the Thomas couple.
