HP in the name of Slytherin

Snape felt that he was probably crazy, and he had obviously wanted to be careful about his words and actions, and not have too much contact with the forces of Voldemort and Slytherin.

From seeing Death Eaters fighting against half-bloods and Muggles in Diagon Alley, Snape knew that the wizarding world was not as beautiful as he imagined. Entering Slytherin, as he said to the Sorting Hat - he wanted to Be successful.

I want to be successful and famous, I really want to be successful.

But the more he got to know Slytherin, the more he would occasionally feel regretful.

He thought that Slytherin could help him achieve greater success, but if the entire academy was already a reserve of Death Eaters... Snape, as a young man, was not fully prepared to give up something.

For example, the pride he should not have, but he still has and cherishes it, such as the friendship he has only received since he was a child.

James Potter was right about one thing. If Snape was more evil-hearted, used Lily, hurt her, and turned her, a little muck wizard, into a joke, then he would be more like a Slytherin in the general sense, and even more so. Recognized by Slytherin students.

Deep in the cellar of the Slytherin lounge, most of the hall is embedded in the black lake. The black lake in the evening can no longer reflect the weak sunlight. Even if the lights never go out, the overall tone of the lounge still presents a dark texture, which makes People feel inexplicably majestic.

Snape made sure that there was no one else on the road leading to Catherine's room. He walked over quickly. His thinking was actually still very confusing, but he knew that continuing to spend time thinking was just useless internal friction.

Catherine only needs to treat him as an equal to everyone as she did in the past, and if she occasionally and secretly shows tenderness to him like she did today, he will fall again.

He stood still at the door, without knocking, and the door opened from the inside.

It was a house elf that I had met several times. After inviting him in, he quickly closed the door and seemed to know how to help him hide his whereabouts.

House elves are a species that obey orders. If it were not for Catherine's orders, Snape believed that this house elf would not be so quiet and efficient.

No one would touch him like this. From the time he could remember, his mother would only cry cowardly, turn a blind eye to him on weekdays, and then look at him with hatred in extreme pain.

Lily will study and chat with him, but Lily's world is too happy and perfect. She has many friends. She is lively and gentle. She has seen him wearing his mother's old clothes and also seen the clothes he wore after being beaten by his father. Bruises, Lily's gentleness was a silent companion, and she didn't comfort Snape too much to avoid hurting Snape's sensitive heart...

In fact, Lily herself didn't know what to do. She was also afraid of the terrifying rumors in Spider End Alley, and would be frightened when she saw Tobia who was drunk and vicious.

Lily was just a little girl over 9 years old at that time.

If Snape was beaten later, he would rather not see her than go out with scars... Lily is so beautiful, he is sometimes afraid of her...

Snape did not need comfort, and Catherine probably did not define her previous behavior as "comfort". She was a born noble Miss Slytherin. She wanted to do this, so she did it naturally, helping him and giving him some advice. When she wiped his tears, her eyes were not even as gentle as when she looked at the basilisk.

But this is enough. Everyone is equal in front of her. She treats him with the same attitude towards everyone, which is a kind of respect for Snape.

What's more, she said personally that he was a talented little wizard... This was the most important thing.

In the gorgeous but not complicated room, Catherine was reading a book in front of the fireplace. When she heard the sound of him coming in, she turned her head slightly and looked at him, and asked with a smile: "Would you like something to drink?"

Snape stood a few meters away from her. His black hair, black eyes, and black wizard robes were incompatible with her exquisite and bright room.

"I have something to tell you about..."

"Since we are talking about something, why don't you sit down?" Catherine interrupted him, nodding to the seat opposite her with her chin as gracefully as a swan, "Sit down and talk, Mr. Snape."

It's "Mr. Snape" again with a bit of teasing.

Snape's hard-working emotions were interrupted by her. What was even more helpless was that his body had subconsciously obeyed Catherine's instructions and sat on the sofa opposite her.

"Hot cocoa?" When he asked, the house elf named Donut had already come over and poured it for him.

Catherine smiled and said, "I see you quite liked it at noon."

...He has been clearly arranged by Catherine.

Miss Slytherin is also noble and perfect, but unlike Lily, she is a very strong person at heart.

She is smart and strong. She will carefully observe the likes and dislikes of others, and take care of others according to their habits. The people she takes care of... often realize that they are being taken care of after they have been taken care of.

Snape did like the drink he drank for the first time today. He rarely ventured to try new things, and so far his three meals a day were basically the same.

Catherine pushed a small plate of yellow cake and gingerbread over and said gently: "Let's talk while you eat."

His mood had stabilized under her continuous push. I don't know if it was because of the incense in her room or her innocent smile, but Snape's chaotic heart slowly calmed down.

Seeing the basilisk lying on the table looking at cookies, he even offered one to him.

【Owner--】

Catherine smiled and nodded. Just as Snape said just now, Catherine was truly gentle and doting towards the basilisk.

Snape did not make any more unnecessary moves. He picked up a piece of gingerbread that looked like a bear, lowered his head slightly and said, "You often coach Avery and Rozier. Do you want to win over them?"

"That's right." Catherine said in an unclear tone.

Snape frowned slightly, feeling that Catherine should know something...

Even so, he said: "Maybe it's not suitable for you. Their respective families are loyal Death Eaters, and they followed that gentleman when he was a student."

Catherine held her chin with her hands and looked at him. She looked like an 11-year-old girl, innocent and innocent. For a moment, Snape almost felt like he was being a villain.

Catherine chuckled at his stuttering, and returned to her elusive Miss Slytherin state, "Thank you for telling me this, Severus."

"...I think you already know that," Snape said dryly.

Catherine smiled and clapped her hands: "You always surprise me with your intelligence and sensitivity, Severus."

She was so happy that her eyebrows were curved, and her gray-blue eyes were like the sky, able to accommodate everything in the world.

In front of her, there is no need to worry about being unworthy, because everything is equal.

There is no need to worry that the glorious future you want has not yet arrived, because she firmly believed and tolerated tenderly. When she looked at him and heard her say that he was great, Snape felt that she seemed to have seen him. The future you want.

It will become a great thing and it will definitely succeed.

Oops, it's a bit scary, he feels a bit happy...
