Snape looked at the young man in the front of him with a gloomy face because he didn't believe what Lace said at all.
It's known to be impossible for any Muggle born wizard to use magic in this situation because he won't have a wand and a wizard at his age can't do magic without a wand at least not at his age.
"Look like mister Satan really like to show off, but you must know that it's impossible for you to be able to use magic in this stage."
Lace felt embarrassed of course he knows why Snap think so and actually Snape is right but as a person who is not limited to this world, he can use supernatural powers that can looks like magic very much, so he said sinisterly.
"Professor Snape, do you want to bet with me on this matter."
Snape looked at the young boy in front of him with a disgusted look if you asked him what the kind of kids he hates more, he will answer immediately that it's the people who claim to be capable while in truth they are not, so if this boy want to bluff him like that, he will show him who he is.
"What do you want to bet at?"
"If I show you magic now, you will show me one of your personal spells and teach me your potions created techniques personally as the professor of potion, you must have great knowledge in potions making, and I will benefit from your knowledge greatly"
Snape looked at Lace for a brief moment despite being sure of impossibility of the boy claims, he didn't want to gamble, so he said.
"But if you lose you will be my potions slave and will do whatever I want in your seven years of hagwart"
Lace agreed without hesitation, it may look like the stakes isn't fair but as the half blood Prince and as a genius one in the field of potions and magic, Snape worth the price.
So he starts by moving his shadow to the table and control it to move the cub of water to Snape.
Snape looked at the cub of water in front of him in disbelief as one of the death eaters and a professor in hagwart, his attainment in magic isn't low but despite that he couldn't feel the magic fluctuation in this move which mean one thing.
"Blood talent"
Some families have a talent for no known reason like tom riddle and his ability to talk the snake tongue or Dumbledore and his ability to talk phoenix tongue, they have just born with it some people said that the origin of wizard is the magic beast and this people have awakened their blood one way or another but the sure thing that all the people with a blood talent are genius.
Snape looked at lace and sighed
"let's go"
"Wait professor Snape, can I take someone with me, she is my secretary and I want her to come with us."
As Lace said that he called for Robin to come from inside.
Snape looked at the girl in front of him and smiled sinisterly didn't that boy just took advantage of him and since when did the boy at this age have a girl like that, and they are living in the same room in a hotel!
"No, mister Satan, only the student who get the letter can go to hagwart, but you can relax that you will not need her there, and you can focus more in your studies."
Lace fall in thought it's true that he didn't need Robin with him, but her presence will make his life easier, he saw how capable she is as secretary, and he is really like it.
"What if she has a magic talent like me, can she go then"
Snape was taken by surprise by this question can this girl be a wizard too, he felt that impossible she didn't have the power of magic in her and if she is a mage she will get a letter from hagwart, so he said
"If you can prove that she is a wizard at the acceptable age to enter hagwart, I will talk to the principal to make her enter."
Lace smiled happily and asked Robin to use her power.
A hand rose from Snape shoulder and touched him lightly but was enough to scare him to death, it's a known fact that the body of wizards is normal and using ability like that to make a hand appears at his shoulder silently so what if she interfered with his hand to stop his spells then won't he be a normal man.
Snape sighed and felt that the age ten years is teenagers so scary now.
"You can take her with us for now, and I will ask Dumbledore to help her to be admitted to hagwart."
"Now, we waste a lot of time you two hold my hand tightly"
As lace and Robin hold hand and hold Snape left hand, snape move his wand and the three of them disappeared to appear latter in front of a broken bar.
"This the broken cauldron bar, it's the only way to go into the diagon alley"
The three of them looked around and lace could see a stammering middle age man who he recognized as Quarrel the new hagwart's professor of defense against the dark magic this year.
Snape went directly to the bar owner tom ignoring the dirty bar completely.
Tom noticed them and said
"hi Severus were these two the new hagwart's students, they sure are lively"
"you have no idea"
Snape said bitterly and took them to took them to the wall behind the bar and said
"count up three pieces and then count two pieces across the line and press thus brick and then step back"
A gab appeared in the wall that kept getting bigger and bigger until a path big enough has been opened.
Lace and Robin kept looking around them, in the end it's a magical world.
Snape took the two of them to gringotts to change money because Gringotts is known as the only bank in the wizard world.
It's a white building towering above the surrounding shops and on the side of the door there were a words written like that.
"Please come in stranger, but you must be careful with what it will end up with insatiable greed, if you ask for something that is not yours, you will be punished the most severely, so if you want to take a wealth that was never yours from our vaults, oh Thief you have been warned, beware that is not treasures that you seek but evil."
As they entered the huge number of goblins surprise Lace very much, snape took them to one of the older goblin while saying five pounds is exchange for one gold and the maximum is one hundred gold.
The old goblin looked at them how much will you exchange, sir?
"I want to exchange the maximum amount to me and my friend here"
Lace said while pointing at Robin.
The goblin hands stopped suddenly, and a flattering look appears on his face and said
"My dear customer, can you wait a moment I will exchange your money for you in a second."
After a while the three of them left with two hundred gold gallons as the words of the goblin follow them
"I hope to see you again respectable sir."
