Arthur felt a little guilty. Because in the simulation he is the one who developed the blood curse in this world. That means he is the one who cast the blood curse on the Greengrass family. Astoria will die because of him in the future. Arthur couldn't help but groan about this.
If he says this, he will definitely be resented by them. Because he is the soul that put the curse. Arthur couldn't help but sigh. This is the worst kind of outcome. They will definitely resent him for casting a curse on their bloodline. Arthur shook his head and pushed this to the back of his head.
For now he digested the Alchemy knowledge. This is the biggest stack of knowledge he received until now. It took him nearly 4 hours to sort all the knowledge and experience of the Alchemy. Afterall it's almost 40 years of Alchemy knowledge and experience.
It isn't an exaggeration for it to take this long. It would take even more time if it isn't for the new entry :
[ Genius
Rank : S
Effects :
• comprehension +50%
• memory recall speed +30%
• memory processing speed +30%
• response speed +10% ]
It's thanks to this, that he is able to understand everything in just 4 hours or it would have taken more time. Arthur took a deep breath, well he needs some tools to do Alchemy it seems. Arthur is thinking about undoing the blood curse now.
Two days passed since then and a gloomy looking person entered the orphanage. His attire is weird to all who saw him. From top to bottom he wore black, has greasy hair, an expressionless face and a gloomy aura around him. Anyone who saw him will either be scared or be vigilant.
As Arthur saw Severus Snape he raised an eyebrow. This is really unexpected. He expected McGonagall or sprout but not Snape to come to his door. Arthur looked Snape and asked," yes, can I help you with something? ".
He smiled while Snape narrowed his eyes and said," I'm Severus Snape from Hogwarts. I'm the potions professor in that magic school Mr Vane. If you want to ask whether magic is real ", Snape pointed his wand at the fire place and fireballs shot out from his wand igniting the fire place.
Arthur raised an eyebrow while Snape asked with an expressionless face," you don't seem to be that much surprised ", Arthur grinned and said," that's because I experienced things far worse. Like this-", Arthur snapped his fingers, all furniture and things in the room levitated.
Snape looked around and said," that's not bad. At least for someone your age. But for adult wizards this is no more than a street magic. Don't be too proud ", Arthur shrugged and said," of course I'm not proud professor. I believe the adult magicians are really powerful because, I, as an orphan child can do this trick means there are very powerful and capable wizards out there. I just can't wait to enter the wizarding world ".
Snape raised an eyebrow this time. He thought this guy might be just like James Potter gloating at his talent and an arrogant prick. At least this child has a little sense of humility and humbleness. He proved he isn't an arrogant git at least. Arthur offered tea to Snape and brought his hidden stash of cookies he made himself.
Snape didn't taste anything though. He explained about Hogwarts and about the scholarship program for orphan students like him. Arthur nodded and said," ahh, professor I earned some pounds working outside. Is £300 enough? ".
Snape raised an eyebrow and asked," you didn't steal them or anything did you? ", he narrowed his eyes while Arthur answered," no sir, I played violin on streets and did some part-time jobs outside. I earned money through those. You can ask the matron about this ".
His recorded past from the pop up said that. Snape tried to see if Arthur is lying. Seeing the casual look on Arthur's face, he nodded and decided to ask the matron about this later. Afterall no teacher wanted to see a future student head to a wrong path. Especially theft, Snape decided to observe Arthur for a while.
