The twins greeted them with smiles, two good children waiting for their mother's praise and intimacy.
Although the Weasley family's financial situation has greatly improved, long-standing habits still make Molly maintain her usual dress, which inevitably makes her look out of place with other people in costume in this celebration-like scene.
They spent a lot of effort to design this [cross-dressing clip]. They really wanted their mother to be unique and wow the audience. They were looking forward to the upcoming touching hugs and sincere compliments. They...
Their ears fell into their mother's hands!
"Fred! George!"
Mrs. Weasley carried the two naughty boys out of the box, and their hands and ears came into close contact, but it was not the intimacy the twins wanted.
"Pa~"
Percy slapped himself on the forehead and quietly pushed the box door shut, hoping to shut out Mrs. Weasley's roar.
However, in the next second, a deep female voice easily penetrated the barrier of the wall, so the big boy could only try to make the awkward smile on his face appear polite.
Sorry, brothers, I really can't do more.
Thanks to Fudge and Umbridge's misguided moves, the Ministry of Magic's reputation at Hogwarts declined rapidly.
Therefore, after passing the most advanced N.E.W.T.s not long ago, Percy chose to stay in school and work together with his beloved Penelo.
Assistant Professor of Potions is a new starting point in Percy's life.
Although the little lions always showed all kinds of weird shapes in Snape's own filter, as a rare strict person in the Weasley family, Percy left a good impression on him.
This impression became even better after Percy took the initiative to stay in school early to help rush for summer orders.
The two got along quite well, and during the process of refining potions together, Snape often taught Percy some practical skills.
Perhaps due to personality reasons, Percy did not go to the Ministry of Magic to worship Crouch fervently, but he became a loyal fan of the Professor.
Just now the twins were complaining that Percy had been home for less than ten days and they had already heard about Snape at least a thousand times, making them always feel like they would bump into a big bat when they walked around the corner.
"Brilliant! Professor Snape's attainments in Potions are completely beyond my imagination. Maybe I shouldn't have studied so many subjects when I was in school, but focused on Potions."
Percy's cheeks turned red, and when he mentioned Snape, it was like seeing the light of life, full of admiration.
"Well, yes, Sif has extraordinary talent. I always think that he is the best potion master I have ever seen."
Ani echoed sincerely. Perhaps no one knows better than him, Snape's best friend and fellow traveler on the road to seeking knowledge, what great achievements Snape has made in potions.
One thing to say, if it weren't for the past that kept him low-key for a long time, it is possible that the potions textbooks in various magic schools would have been replaced by now.
"I have always believed that your talent in potions is no less than mine."
Suddenly, a black cloak floated over.
"I'm glad to hear the compliments from my friends as soon as I walked in. Good day, Ani, and Percy."
Snape put away his cloak and revealed himself. The Potions Professor holding the child looked much brighter.
"This is Susanna's first Quidditch World Cup. Thanks to Percy, I have time to bring her here."
Allowing Ani to take the little girl away from his arms, Snape shook hands with Percy, feeling the tension in the big boy's heart, and patted his upper arm gently.
It can be seen that the birth of the baby girl is slowly helping him dispel the haze that has spread from the past, bringing him more happiness in addition to memories and potions.
"Let's go out and walk around together. Susanna has never experienced such a lively scene."
While Ani and Xiao Yaya were talking to each other, Snape exchanged greetings with Percy, then put his arm on his friend's shoulders and walked out of the box together.
When he pushed the door open and walked out, Aini was keenly aware that in addition to Percy's unfinished gaze, there was also a wandering gaze that kept glancing behind him.
It's Lucius Malfoy.
Ani didn't look back. He felt that Snape might not be just bringing the baby to play.
Considering the events in the original trajectory, it is obvious that this World Cup will still not be peaceful.
Soon, his hunch was verified.
He said he wanted Susanna to feel the lively atmosphere, but as soon as she left the house, Snape led her to a quiet place.
"Ani, you know that I once hung out among the Death Eaters for a while, and I have that person's mark on my body."
Snape first glared at Aini's hand holding Yaya's little face, and then got to the point.
"Oh? Are you feeling something?"
Ani immediately thought of the special features of the Dark Mark, and its meaning instantly drew Ani's attention away from Susanna.
Then Ani thought of Lucius Malfoy, who was hesitant to speak in the box just now. It seemed that Snape was not receiving special treatment, but a kind of widespread inspiration.
Magical Marking is a large subject, which involves many categories of advanced knowledge.
The Dark Mark is not too outstanding among them, but in Voldemort's previous state, it is already difficult to activate these beacons, even when possessing Quirrell and Peter.
Dumbledore and others had already tested the Dark Mark on Snape's body. It should be a mark of divine favor that was born before the Dark Ages, and it also inherited some of the latter's characteristics.
Such as purity.
If you want to activate it, you must use the power of someone to imprint the mark. It is like a unique password. This cannot be achieved by mixing other people's energy.
"Yes, just earlier today, the marking point was not far from here. I suspect that man has regained his strength, at least partially, enough to crush ordinary wizards."
Snape's face didn't look good. In terms of understanding of the Dark Mark, he was better than Ani, so he naturally understood its meaning better.
"That's right. Lucius's state is not quite right either. I think you are not the only one who feels the changes in the mark. With Voldemort's suspicious character, he will not launch a large-scale appeal if he is not sure of suppressing you."
In terms of ability, little Barty's talent is already superior to Peter's, and an excellent education widens the gap even further.
In terms of initiative in doing things for Voldemort, the former was able to knock the latter off eight blocks. He can also do what Peter can do. Ani has no doubt that Voldemort can regain some of his strength.
But he was sure that this energy potion was not sweet, otherwise Voldemort would have done this long ago when he controlled Quirrell and would not have waited until now.
But no matter what price Voldemort paid, both of them had to think about another problem first.
