Chapter 24: A Competition? Snape Wants to Make a Pie in the Sky
Severus Snape's studio.
Aaron didn't know why he called him over, and he made him wait for more than twenty minutes.
But he was indeed a master of potions. The shelves in the room were filled with glass bottles and jars. Most of the rare potion materials that were lacking on the market could be seen here.
Not only materials, there were even quite a few finished potions.
"Alas! Professor Snape put things so obviously, he will definitely be robbed in the future.
As long as these things can be taken out of school, they can definitely be sold for tens of thousands of gold galleons. It won't be a problem to live comfortably for three to five years." Aaron said to himself.
After he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and a long reflection was reflected on the wall. From the style of the robe and the hair draped beside the ears, it was not difficult to guess who it was.
"Haha! Teacher, I'm telling the truth. Don't you have any traps here?"
"Stop talking nonsense." Snape glared at him and sat at his desk. "Do you know why I called you here?"
"How should I know?" Aaron said speechlessly. If he knew, why would he come here?
"You know that Harry Potter has become the seeker of Gryffindor!"
"I know! The whole Hogwarts is buzzing with rumors, but what does this have to do with me?"
"I hope you will be the seeker of the Slytherin team."
"I refuse!" Aaron said immediately, with a particularly firm tone.
Playing in the game, what a joke, this kind of thing that makes a big splash in front of everyone should belong to the savior Harry Potter, he has no interest in this.
And there are still dangers in Quidditch games. If he accidentally shakes his hand and cripples a student, he will probably have to pay a large amount of medical expenses.
Maybe this is an opportunity to show himself and an honor in the eyes of others, but in his opinion, it is a completely thankless task.
"Why? You have this talent." Snape was a little surprised, because there were almost no students who didn't like Quidditch. He dared to guarantee that no one would refuse to pick any freshman.
But he didn't expect that Aaron was one of the few students who was not interested in Quidditch. Let him watch the game, let him play, haha!
"I just don't want to participate. What if I lose the game because of me?
If you really want to find a seeker, I think Draco Malfoy is very suitable. He would definitely like to play against Harry openly."
"Really? He recommended you to me.
Want to know the reason? He said he was not sure he could catch a cat on a flying broom." Snape sneered, then glanced at Abe with interest, "And your cat gives me a very different feeling, especially different, just approaching it will give me a warm feeling."
Abe shrank back, and Aaron immediately hugged it in his arms, "Illusion, this is definitely an illusion."
"Huh! Whether it is an illusion or not, you know better than me." Snape sat down He straightened up, "You are the most suitable one at the moment."
"Haha!" Aaron curled his lips in disdain, "Professor Snape, I respect you very much, very much.
But you don't like Harry Potter, there is no need to drag me out to compete with him!
And I think this is particularly unfair to Slytherin's original seeker. We Slytherins must also stick to principles. We can't ignore the students' mood because of the dean's personal mood."
"Don't worry about this. I have talked to Terrence specifically, and he will cooperate well.
As long as you can prove that he is stronger, it's enough. It's related to the honor of Slytherin, and he will not refuse to give up the position of seeker."
Aaron was stunned for a moment. This Terrence should be Slytherin's seeker.
"Professor, you are really tall!
However, the student in the student's mood I mentioned is actually me. You can't force a student to participate in a Quidditch game that he doesn't want to participate in!"
"Hey! How can this be called forcing!" Snape said lightly, "I just gave you a chance to win honors, this should be a preference, right!"
Aaron:......
Who wants this kind of preference? Anyway, I don't want it.
Don't you want to prove that you are better than the original seeker? Let's let him go a little bit at that time. I don't believe that he can still enter the college team.
Snape obviously noticed Aaron's thoughts and said calmly: "It's settled, behave well!
Otherwise, I think it's necessary to remind the principal that pets should not be allowed in sacred places like classrooms."
"You..." Aaron smiled bitterly, "Professor Snape, it's not necessary!
Even if Harry is talented, he is just a first-year student and may not be able to beat Terrence."
"Why not?
I don't know Potter's level, but I still know Professor McGonagall. If Harry Potter is not capable enough, McGonagall Minerva would not choose him as a seeker.
She was the first to break the rules, so why can't I change the general at the last minute?
I just want to prove that Slytherin students are better than Gryffindor students. Her freshmen include Harry Potter, and mine also includes Aaron Gaius. "
Aaron raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Snape to have such high expectations for him.
"Actually, it's not impossible for me to be a seeker, but what's the benefit?"
Snape crossed his hands, looked at Aaron quietly, and said in a deep voice: "Quidditch scores will be counted in the House Cup. In this case, the value of the championship is self-evident, and you will be respected by all Slytherin students."
Aaron's mouth twitched. What's the difference between this and getting something for nothing.
Although he did have a task related to the House Cup, Snape didn't know it!
You want him to work for nothing without bleeding a little, dreaming.
"Professor, can we give you some substantial rewards?
Your tricks to deceive children didn't work when I was three years old, and I'm a materialistic person. "Aaron said as he looked at the finished potions on the shelf. His meaning was self-evident.
Snape's mouth twitched slightly, and he stood up to block his sight. "I am a little curious. You are the heir of the Gaius family. You are not worse than the Malfoy family. Shouldn't you have everything you want?"
"That's what I said, but I don't want to trouble my family for everything after school." Aaron said somewhat insincerely. After all, he didn't want to, but no one knew what the reality would be.
If he encountered troubles that he couldn't solve in the future, he would probably ask his family for help.
At this time, he suddenly thought of the residual soul of Voldemort in the mission, and he looked at Snape with more scrutiny.
To be the dean of Slytherin College, he must be good. It should not be a problem to beat a residual soul. If he can get his help at that time, then a thousand magic points will be in hand.
For some reason, Snape suddenly felt a little numb on his scalp, and asked coldly: "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing.
As long as you promise to help me unconditionally once before the end of this school year, I will agree to join the college team.
Of course I won't make it difficult for you, it's definitely within your ability. "
Snape's face slowly sank, "Aaron, are you bargaining with me?"
"Well... you can understand it this way, and I will only participate in this Quidditch competition, and I won't care about the rest afterwards.
If you don't agree, forget it."
Snape pondered for a few seconds, and nodded helplessly, "Okay! This is a deal.
But you'd better beat Harry Potter on the field, otherwise you know the consequences. "
"Got it, got it.
To be honest, Professor, you are really contradictory, I have never seen such a contradictory person like you.
In the first potions class, you were clearly apologizing to Harry Potter, although the way was particularly obscure, but I could hear that you cared about him very much.
If you just didn't want him to know, it would be fine, but after that, you targeted him everywhere, as if you couldn't stand him doing well. Can you tell me why? "
"Get out." Snape pointed at the door and shouted.
Aaron wanted to say something, but Snape's second words came over, "Don't let me say it a second time, get out."
"Get out if you want to." Aaron immediately stood up and walked out.
When Aaron was about to step out of the door, Snape suddenly said, "By the way, Mr. Gaius, you'd better not ask about my affairs. It won't do you any good."
"Don't worry, my curiosity is not that strong, and I'm not interested in your past.
Just think of it as... my respect for you!"
After Aaron left, Snape smiled bitterly in the studio, "What a disgusting little wizard."
