Summary: "Return to School Day"

Key Plot Points & Events

• Canopus returns to Hogwarts after a long absence, visiting Dumbledore's grave by the lake (Dumbledore died peacefully three years earlier, chose not to become a soul in Gensokyo, and was buried on school grounds per McGonagall's decision).
• McGonagall (now Headmistress, white-haired) asks Canopus to investigate unfamiliar faces recently appearing in Hogsmeade—potential outsiders unaffiliated with the ordinary wizarding world.

• Snape confronts Canopus about recommending Sirius Black for the Defence Against the Dark Arts position—a post Snape had long coveted after Moody held it for 19 years before retiring.
• Snape warns Canopus that pure-blood families are stirring again, and advises Minister Weasley (Harry) to be cautious—Snape recognizes their scheming from his undercover days.

Character Developments

• Snape: Still bitter and obsessed with Lily. Voluntarily offered to be godfather to Harry's newborn daughter Lily—reminiscent of her. Remains single and stuck in the past; Canopus notes an "unmarried old bachelor" image nearly caused him social death after Harry had to explain his history to Ginny. Still sharp-tongued but less aggressive, and students now pity him as a "misunderstood good person," which infuriates him.
• Neville: Inherited Sprout's role, married Hannah (who is studying for a healer's certification to join Hogwarts). Dedicated to plant cultivation; Canopus invested in him to breed high-yield staple crops (corn, soybeans) using dragon dung and spells, aiming for varieties that can be reverse-engineered by mundane agronomists.
• Sirius Black: Now DADA professor (on Canopus's recommendation), married, but still bickers with Snape constantly despite both being over fifty.
• Harry: Married Ginny with a newborn daughter (Lily); now Minister of Magic with an eye on pure-blood families.
• McGonagall: Aged but retains her stern demeanor as Headmistress.

• Generational transition: Moody retiring, Neville taking over Herbology, Harry as Minister, new professors arriving.
• Hidden threats: Strange figures in Hogsmeade and renewed pure-blood scheming hint at future conflict.
• Humanitarian progress: Neville's magical crop improvement as a bridge to benefiting all humanity.

Character Interactions

• Canopus & McGonagall: Respectful, businesslike; he retains the old address "Professor McGonagall" from student days.
• Canopus & Neville: Warm, playful ("You never come to gatherings, and you still have the nerve to say long time no see"); Canopus encourages him to study Chinese to meet Academician Yuan.
• Canopus & Snape: Teasing yet affectionate; Canopus needles Snape about Sirius, his singlehood, and the fangirl phenomenon in Potions class (plus a barely-suppressed joke about a "Sirius × Snape" shipping trend). Snape drags him aside, vents, then shares serious intelligence about pure-bloods.
• Snape & students (off-screen): Students misinterpret his harsh behavior as a "poor kind soul who can't express himself," turning Potions class into a madhouse of fawning—to Snape's visible disgust.
