Settle at Hogwarts

Irene's face was very pale, and she pursed her lips tightly when she heard Tabor's complaining words.

Tabor used a levitation spell to hold up the big box, and then let Erin into the house.

Severus stood by the door. Although he didn't have much of a good impression of this mother.However, this woman gave birth to herself after all.

"Brother Tabor, I want to give Severus something. These are all the things I brought out when I escaped from the Prince family."

Erin stretched out her hand and opened the box tremblingly.

Tabor saw a new wound on her forearm.

The items in the box had obviously been sorted out, and the most abundant ones were Erin's textbooks for grades one to seven, a set of Tarbert-made Gobstones, a wand, and a small white snake pendant.

"These are an eyesore at home, why not give them all to Severus."

After Irene finished speaking, she glanced at her son, turned around and disappeared into the dark night.

Severus' lips moved slightly, obviously wanting to say something to save him, but in the end, nothing came out.

Tabor looked at Severus beside him, guessing that Irene must have seen Severus today, and then remembered to send the things over.

"Uncle, why does mother..."

Severus didn't ask, and didn't know how to ask.

Tubber roughly guessed that he wanted to ask why Eileen stayed in Spider-End Alley and stayed with Mr. Snape.

"Maybe, this is love. There is no reason."

After Tabor finished speaking, he closed the door and took out the white snake pendant from the box.

"This pendant was made together with your black bat. Its function is to resist attacks when encountering them, and to allow me to feel them within a certain range."

Severus' eyes lit up slightly, and he suddenly understood why his uncle always arrived in time when he had conflicts with others.

"Give this to Lily then."

Severus held the little snake and hesitated for a moment before asking: "Uncle, can I give the bat to Lily?"

Tabor was a little curious as to why Severus would want to do this.

Severus didn't wait for his uncle to ask questions, and explained: "The bat has a very good meaning in the flower garden, and if Lily carries the sign of the snake farm, I'm afraid there will be trouble if people see it."

Tabor chuckled: "Of course."

Watching Severus put away the pendant, Tabor took out the pair of Gobstones from the box.

"Eileen likes Gobstone very much, but this pair is specially made by me."

Tabor took out one of them and pressed it hard.A stream of light-colored liquid with a floral scent sprayed on Severus' face.

"Wuhu, I didn't expect the quality to be so good and it can still be used normally."

Severus looked stinky and wiped away the liquid that almost sprayed into his eyes, and then realized that it was actually shower gel, which should have been prepared by his uncle.

Tabor threw the Gobstone back into the box with some embarrassment: "Ahem, let's go take a bath. If you don't like this scent, other stones have different smells."

Severus used a levitating spell to control the box to follow him, went upstairs with an expressionless expression, and closed the door, all at once.

Tubber couldn't help laughing as he thought of Severus playing with Gobstone.Then, he decided silently in his heart that he would let Lily try it with him tomorrow.

The next day, when Lily came to look for Severus, he was still in the room.

Tabor told Lily what happened last night, and at the same time mentioned the Gobstone he had made specially before.

As expected, Lily was full of curiosity about things she had never played with before.

Tabor sat down on the sofa with satisfaction and poured a glass of water.

The scene in Severus' room was shown in the water.

This Magic Tabor has also been used in competitions, but it just borrows a little bit from the principle of a double-sided mirror.

Severus probably didn't sleep all night after taking a shower last night.At this time, he was leaning on the bed listlessly, holding the white snake pendant in his hand.

"Sev, are you awake?"

Hearing Lily's voice, Severus sat up from the bed, checked his robes, and then opened the door.

"Lily, I..."

"Sev, I heard what your uncle said, can you let me see the Gobstone?"

Severus' pale face became even more gloomy as he thought about the feeling of the sticky liquid on his body.

"Sif~!"

Looking at the pretty girl in front of him, Severus still gave in.

Tabor watched his nephew take out the Gobstone as if he was resigned to his fate, and then he couldn't resist Lily's begging, so the two began to play.

The two of them played a few games, and their bodies were sprayed with various fragrant shower gels. Severus also had a helpless smile on his face.

Tabor didn't go upstairs until it was almost lunch time and stopped the game between the two.

Lily rushed into the guest room that had been reserved for her, while Severus went to take a shower and change clothes.

By the time they both packed up and went downstairs, the dining table was already filled with all kinds of delicious food.

With sharp eyes, Tabor saw that the black bat pendant that Severus had never left was hanging around Lily's neck.

A few days before the end of the holiday, Mr. Tobia brought news of Eileen's death.

When Tabor and Severus arrived at the house at the end of Spider's End Lane, Tobia, who was awake, was gently cleaning up Irene's remains.

"You are here."

Snape's eyes were calm, not drunken and crazy, just like when Tubber first saw him.

"Actually, I love her. If she chooses to leave, I really don't know how to live."

Tobias smiled, and this laughter made people feel a little creepy.

"I think I might be really crazy. I am obviously afraid of magic and hate everything here. But I still want to hold on to it.

For a long time I thought that this damn witch must have put a spell on me, making me unable to live without her. "

The no longer young man murmured in a low voice.

Tabor didn't look at him, just walked over to Erin.At a glance, he discovered a deep wound on her head.

It must have been smashed out by something like a wine bottle.

"Love? How perverted."

After Tabor finished speaking, he glanced at Severus with some worry, then silently walked to the sofa aside and sat down.

Severus' body was trembling a little, but he didn't feel too surprised.He had already expected this scene today.

However, the person lying there silently was his mother after all.

"Okay, gentlemen. It's hot now, so it's better to hold a funeral for Irene as soon as possible."

Tabor said firmly, and then called the nearby funeral company.

After the people over there heard about the address of Spider End Alley, they were not very interested.It wasn't until noon that a dilapidated cart came over.

After burying Irene in a cemetery in Cokeworth, Tabor had time to think about how to deal with Mr. Prince, who killed his wife with his own hands.

"Uncle, can you leave it to me?"

Tabor looked at Severus' greasy hair, pale complexion, and two big dark circles, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Okay, but you need to take a nice shower and get some rest."

Tub trusts Severus, and whether he chooses revenge or forgiveness is a matter between their father and son.

Severus nodded and turned towards his biological father.

Tabor watched as Severus roughly poured a bottle of unknown potion into the man's mouth, and then returned to his side.

Seeing Mr. Snape's lack of reaction, Tubo was a little curious.

"What kind of potion is that? I don't seem to have seen it before."

A hint of pride flashed in Severus's eyes: "I made it myself, and the effect should be similar to the magic potion."

"Magic-enhancing potion? But Tobias is a Muggle."

Severus nodded silently: "This potion has no problem in theory. I haven't tried the specific effect yet. If he is lucky enough, he may become a wizard."

Tabor shook his head silently in his mind. The difference between wizards and Muggles was not only reflected in their magic power.

Even if Muggles had magic, they probably wouldn't be able to use it.

No longer paying attention to Severus, Tubo also had no time to pay attention to Tobias' situation.

Because Hogwarts is about to start school.

Although as the principal, Tabor has handed over the job of accepting new students to the vice principal McGonagall.However, he always needs to arrive at school a few days earlier than the students.

After a summer vacation at Hogwarts, there were no major changes.

After Tubb arrived at school, he went straight to Hagrid's hut.

Before we arrived, we saw two small ptarmigans playing in the open space.

Under Hagrid's careful care, they have adapted quite well to the climate here.

"Principal Prince."

Hagrid carried a large, somewhat rusty bucket, walked over to the two ptarmigans, and poured the food in the bucket onto the ground.

"Hagrid, thank you for taking care of them these days."

"Ah!? No, it's not hard. These two little guys are very cute."

Tabor knew Hagrid's temperament and didn't say much.

"School is about to start, so it's time to put them in the Forbidden Forest, otherwise there will be trouble."

Although Hagrid knew that Tubo was right, he still couldn't let go, looking at the two little ptarmigans that looked like chickens.

"Mr. Principal, they are still so small."

Tabor waved his hand: "It's the same as raising them in the Forbidden Forest, and as thunderbirds, they have the ability to protect themselves."

Looking at the frustrated Hagrid, Tabor still softened his tone: "I don't want to cause trouble, and if you want to see them, you can go to the Forbidden Forest for a tour."

"Okay, Principal Prince, I understand."

Tabor waited until the two little ptarmigans were full before taking them into the Forbidden Forest.

After placing the Thunderbird, Tubo returned to his principal's office and saw Professor McGonagall.

"(＾u＾)ノ~yo"

Minerva's face remained serious: "You let Hagrid keep two Thunderbirds at Hogwarts?"

"Σ(⊙▽⊙"a"

Tabor quickly explained that he had taken care of it, and Professor McGonagall's face looked better.

"I hope there won't be any trouble."

Tabor waved his hand: "Dumbledore can raise a phoenix at Hogwarts. Even if I really raise a thunderbird now, it won't be a big deal."

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, with some disapproval on her face.However, considering that Hogwarts is indeed much safer now, there is no objection.

After all, Tabor has often released some magical animals into the Forbidden Forest over the years, and there hasn't been any trouble.

I talked with Professor McGonagall about some plans for the new semester, and told her about the future cooperation with Ilvermorny.

After Minerva learned about this, she was obviously very curious about Ilvermorny.

Compared to the three major schools in Europe, Ilvermorny in America is obviously more mysterious and distant in the eyes of ordinary British wizards.

“The specific content of the cooperation will be communicated by the board of directors and discussed together.

If you're interested, you can join me at the next board meeting. "

Professor McGonagall was a little surprised. You must know that apart from the directors, only the principal can participate in the board of directors.

Even Tabor himself did not attend his first board meeting until he was appointed.

Tabor just suddenly felt that Professor McGonagall was so motivated to work that she came to Hogwarts early.

I should also give her more rights, such as participating in board meetings.

If Minerva attended the meeting, Tubbo would have less to do.Such a hard-working tool man should naturally make good use of him.

Tabor showed a bright smile: "Don't worry, the school directors won't say anything. Moreover, if it is really necessary for the professor to lead a team to Ilvermorny for exchanges, I can rest assured that you will lead the team."

After a while of Tubo's deception, Professor McGonagall walked out of the principal's office in a daze. She still needed to thoroughly inspect the castle before the students returned to school.

Tabor leaned back in his chair and made himself a cup of sour plum soup comfortably.

It's really not that he wants to take advantage of the situation, but that his deputy is too capable.

It was not until the second day of school that the board of directors gathered in Tabor's principal's office.

When they saw Professor McGonagall, no one raised any questions.

In fact, no one has stipulated that the vice-chancellor should not be allowed to attend board meetings.

However, in the past, almost no principal would be willing for his deputy to interfere with his own rights.

"The first are exchange students. In the first year, there will be ten students and one or two leading teachers."

Tabor nodded. This was the most basic way. He had expected this.

"For students who are going out, the final exam will be waived. The Ministry of Magic will also give preferential treatment in the wizard level exam."

"We are still discussing the exchange of unique materials. After all, the value of materials fluctuates greatly, and it is difficult to be completely fair."

.......

Tabor listened quietly. It is undeniable that these guys who can become school directors have a lot of brushes in wrangling.

Moreover, without obviously going against their own interests, they all hope that Hogwarts can take the dominant position in cooperation and have been helping Hogwarts fight for its interests.
