The next day, news came from Azkaban that more than two dozen fanatical Death Eaters, led by Bella Black Lestrange, had committed suicide in Azkaban. Others also committed suicide.
Barty Crouch Jr. disguised as a senior investigator for the Ministry of Magic.
This information was not something Weston took the initiative to learn about, but was told to him by a person, who was none other than Snape.
Early that morning, Weston had just woken up when he heard a rapid knock on the door. After opening the door, Snape, still a little dewy on his body, rushed in.
"Teacher?" Weston looked at him doubtfully, "Didn't you go on your honeymoon with your wife?"
"Did you kill the Dark Lord?" Snape ignored Weston's question, squeezed his shoulders, and asked urgently.
"That's right." Weston nodded, "To be precise, I put his Horcrux together. It's not wrong to say that I killed him. However, a more accurate statement is that he committed suicide.
of!"
"Huh--" Snape let out a long breath, slumped down on a chair nearby, buried his face in his hands, and rubbed it several times, with an inexplicable meaning appearing on his face.
, I don’t know whether it is relief, regret or happiness...
"Speaking of which, Voldemort is actually kind to me..." Snape said to himself, not knowing whether he was talking to himself or to Weston.
However, Weston did not interrupt, but listened quietly.
"However, he hurt me even more! You helped Lily get revenge, and I should thank you!" A rare warm smile appeared on Snape's face.
"Everything is over, teacher." Weston smiled slightly, "It will get better and better in the future."
"I hope!" Snape said calmly, "If nothing happens between you and Mr. Headmaster."
"No, Mr. Principal is still pretty good to me, isn't he?" Weston said while tilting his head and spreading his hands.
"No, I know him better than you do." Snape shook his head, "However, you can only pay more attention to this aspect. I'm afraid I can't help you. You are already much better than I thought."
Yes, Weston."
"Actually, I already have a plan for the next step, teacher." Weston bit his lower lip, gritted his teeth, and expressed his thoughts, "That's what I thought..."
Snape listened attentively, and his eyes opened wider as he listened. Later, he could no longer even maintain the Occlumency technique.
"My student..." Snape exclaimed, swallowed, and growled, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course, I'm sober, teacher." Weston said calmly, "Only in this way, I will never face the professor, right? I don't want to fight with him, that would be too troublesome! You know
Yes, I hate trouble!"
"But there has never been a precedent for early graduation at Hogwarts!" Snape stared at Weston and said, "Are you so sure that Mr. Headmaster is willing to set this precedent?"
"Believe me, teachers and professors are not willing to confront me." Weston said softly, "We all know each other's bottom line and where the other's confidence lies. We have no intention of becoming enemies with each other.
"
"Can't you sit down and have a talk?" Snape asked, with a calm look on his face.
"It's useless, teacher." Weston shook his head, "I represent the interests of the vast majority of pure bloods, and the professor is the representative of civilian wizards. It can be said that our confrontation is inevitable!"
"Before, there was Voldemort who was our common goal, and of course, there was the wizard-converting potion. Now, Voldemort is dead, and the wizard-converting potion will be on the market soon. Next, it is time for us to confront each other."
"So, you are going to give in?" Snape looked at Weston with a burning gaze, "In my impression, you are not the one to give in."
"It's not about giving in, Professor!" Weston smiled slightly, "It's just leaving England. Maybe I will have a special trip."
"Travel?" Snape muttered, somewhat not understanding what Weston meant.
Weston did not go into details, but changed the subject: "By the way, did Mrs. Lily come back with you?"
"Of course, I don't worry about her being alone." Seeing that Weston didn't mean to elaborate, Snape didn't ask and cooperated with him to change the topic.
"So, Ariana and Harry are back too?" Weston looked very happy, "I thought, should I check their learning progress and see how their magic practice is going?"
"Not a bad idea!" Snape nodded, "I think they will give you a surprise!"
"I'm really looking forward to it!" Weston laughed.
Teacher, when it comes time for us to confront each other, how will you choose...

Professor Snape is back!
The news quickly spread throughout Hogwarts. Some were surprised, and some were worried. Most people were waiting and watching to see what Snape would do. After all, whether it is Slytherin's life now
Both his style and teaching methods in Potions class were drastically modified by Weston.
Some people with a little dark heart were prepared to watch Weston's jokes. However, when Snape took a Potions class, he commented with admiration: "What a genius!", and everything ended.
All disappeared. The students knew again what the name Weston represented to Snape.
"It seems like you are relieved?" Dumbledore asked with a smile after receiving Weston's resignation.
"Of course!" Weston nodded matter-of-factly, "Being a professor is too tiring, it's better to be a student!"
"Students who often skip classes?" Dumbledore joked, "That's not very common!"
"Geniuses are always different!" Weston raised his eyebrows, "Unfortunately, I am a genius! I don't think taking classes will improve me!"
"We all know this, otherwise, how could we agree to let you miss school for so long!" Dumbledore shook his head with a smile, picked up Weston's resignation letter, read it once, and then his expression changed.
"Are you serious?" Dumbledore asked in a deep voice, "You want to graduate early?"
"Of course, I thought I had written it clearly enough!" Weston said with a smile.
"Why?" Dumbledore asked.
"Professor, you and I both understand, don't we?" Weston said softly.
Dumbledore stared at Weston in silence for a while, then nodded slowly: "Okay, maybe I should agree."
"Of course, we don't want any conflict, do we?" Weston asked in return.
"Of course!" Dumbledore smiled, "I don't want my sister to lose a good teacher."
The two smiled at each other, each understanding what the other meant from the other's eyes.
