Professor Severus Snape

The vote on what the homunculi will be will last until the end of the first year of Hogwarts, you have until then to decide what you want the homunculi to be like.

And before you ask, I'm not going to make the same ones as the original work, although they're cool, I want new homunculi.

Chapter 8 – Professor Severus Snape

While enjoying his afternoon tea, Simon was thinking about the letter he received just three days ago. While he was trying to extract the soul of an ordinary man who was unlucky enough to be drunk on the street, Simon heard a noise coming from upstairs.

Erasing the man, Simon exchanged a pair of gloves with the latest transmutation circle developed by him that allowed him to manipulate the wind. It was quite useful to use to carry out silent movements and long distances.

Climbing the stairs, Simon went to the dining room, where he saw an owl with brown feathers, standing on the table eating some bread, while next to him was a letter with the Hogwarts symbol.

- You're a pretty greedy little guy, aren't you?

Hearing Simon's words, the owl, which had its back turned to him, turned its head 180 degrees before staring at him with a pair of cute golden eyes, before speaking:

- uuh uuh

- Puff, hahaha. What a cute little face

Simon smiled before offering the owl a few more pieces of bread, which he happily accepted, even as he took the letter out of the envelope and began to read. The scene of a handsome young man wearing an eye patch on his left side, reading a letter, while an owl was eating a piece of bread was quite unusual and even strange, but it had a harmonious feeling.

It did not even seem like the boy was a mad scientist and a homicidal maniac who had already killed hundreds in just over 5 years in pursuit of his goal.

Looking at the letter, Simon smiled as he read the words he had been waiting for a long time.

Simon wasted no time and quickly signed the letter before handing it to the owl, who didn't take it right away and finished eating his bread before finally turning to face Simon again and only then walking away.

- Alright, let's continue.

Simon then got up and went back to his lab to continue extracting the soul of the poor trapped man, before starting to prepare things to leave. For the next 3 days, Simon took a nice vacation, using the money he had to buy some new clothes, get a haircut and prepare to leave.

While drinking coffee, Simon felt a breeze blowing next to him. Looking up from the cake, he saw a scary-looking man wearing a black 3-piece suit, he had long greasy hair falling down to his shoulders, a slightly larger nose, and a pair of deep-set eyes that looked like they were judging Simon.

- Can I help you, sir?

- Don't play with me, boy, I think you've already realized who I am.

- Yes, but I believe that introducing yourself first and foremost is a form of courtesy, sir... - Professor Snape to you, Mr. Morgan. Now, where are your parents? I need to explain Hogwarts to them.

- That won't be possible, Professor Snape, look, I'm an orphan and I live alone. For this reason, I decided to meet with you in a public place.

Hearing Simon's words, Snape fell silent for a moment.

He didn't think the boy in front of him was lying, and he even felt a little sympathy for him.

When he arrived at Simon's address, he found a note stuck to the door that indicated this small cafe where they would be waiting for him. At first, he imagined that you would meet the boy's parents here, not that he was so cautious.

Of course, Snape wasn't a good person, the number of people he killed was definitely more than a few. Although it hasn't been explored much in the books and films, the time he was a Death Eater under Voldemort's orders was undoubtedly not spent making potions, so not for a second would Simon consider Snape a good person.

At most someone for whom he has some admiration, but that's it. Trusting Snape without having a good advantage is asking for trouble.

- Well, in that case, we don't have to delay, let's go.

Taking some money out of his pocket, Simon paid for tea and cake before heading out with Snape. After turning into an alley, Snape looked around before grabbing Simon's shoulder and speaking. - Hold on tight and try not to vomit.

- What?

Suddenly, both disappeared in a kind of vortex before reappearing in front of an old bar. Simon leaned against the wall before throwing up the cake he had just eaten.

- "Damn, I forgot about appearance."

- Let's go

- I am going.

Simon spoke while recovering a little, and only then followed Snape into the pub. When they both entered, Snape immediately caught the attention of the customers and the owner of the place.

Not only because he was a professor at Hogwarts, but also because he makes and sells many possessions to many people. He is without a doubt among the most proficient potion makers in all of Great Britain, perhaps even in Europe.

- Professor Snape, welcome. A new student, I believe?

- Yes, we're heading to Diagon Alley

- I see. Good luck, kid. See you later.

Waving to the barman, Simon followed Snape towards the back of the pub. There he saw the professor lightly knock on three bricks, before a secret passage opened, allowing both of them entry.

Follow me Hearing Snape's words, Simon walked down the passage and came across a crowd of people, wearing strange clothes, mostly cloaks and the like, walking frm one side to the other, entering various stores and talking to each other. Looking at this scene, Simon smiled because he was finally in direct contact with the mute wizard.

- Welcome to Diagon Alley, Mr. Morgan. Now come on, you can wander around after you buy your things.

- Hearing Snape's words, Simon stopped smiling when he remembered that he didn't bring any money

- "Shit"
