HP: After binding to the strongest wizard development system

Till couldn't count on it, and the brothers' last hope was shattered. After looking at each other, they sighed heavily: "Alas!"

After sighing, they both resigned to their fate and continued to deal with the tentacled slugs.

Seeing that the Weasley brothers, who had gained a somewhat naughty reputation among many professors not long after starting school, finally behaved themselves, Snape withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Teal, his eyes instantly softening.

"Is something wrong?" Snape lowered his voice, worried that the twins over there didn't know their relationship, so he didn't hold Till's hand, and his words were much restrained.

Thiel didn't say it directly: "You have something to do with the professor during the Christmas vacation. I wonder if the professor is free during the Christmas vacation?"

Snape's eyes were a little more dark, and the smile on his lips was vague: "There should be, if Professor Dumbledore doesn't give me extra Christmas tasks."

"If Professor Dumbledore arranges it, I hope you can refuse it directly, Professor." Till curled his lips and said, "Let Professor Dumbledore know that you have to do more important things."

During the reunion Christmas, spending a warm Christmas with his girlfriend and her family, Tyr felt that this was definitely much more important than Professor Dumbledore's arduous tasks that only took up Snape's holiday time.

Christmas only happens once a year, and those tasks can be completed during normal times, so why should Snape always be busy during the Christmas holidays?

When the twins heard the muffled conversation, they couldn't help but turn their heads to take a peek, but were stared back by the sharp-eyed Snape.

This time, the twins did not dare to peek again, and Snape took the opportunity to shake Till's hand. Although he would soon let go, just a brief contact, even as long as Teal stayed by his side, was enough to relieve Snape's fatigue after a long day of classes.

"I'm going back first, Professor." With the twins around, Teal and Snape couldn't speak openly, nor could they hold hands habitually. Teal felt that it was boring to stay for a long time, so he proposed to leave.

Seeing Snape's expression of reluctance, Teal quickly added: "I'll come to you next time to ask for potions."

Asking for advice on potions is of course an excuse, but it is true to increase the time they spend together and cultivate their relationship more.

Snape watched Teal leave, and until the office door closed and the figure completely disappeared from his eyes, he pursed his lips, sat back on his desk and began to correct his homework.

With Teal gone, the twins felt that the atmosphere in the office was even more stagnant. While they numbly handled the slugs with tentacles on their hands, they couldn't help but look to see if Snape was still staring at them.

"I have to remind Mr. Weasley that curfew is less than two hours away." Snape didn't even look up, and both George and Fred were curious about how he knew about their little moves.

Snape dipped the quill in his hand into the ink and continued: "If you two can't finish it today, you are more than welcome to come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

The twins immediately lowered their heads and concentrated on dealing with the slugs with tentacles. Both their speed and attitude were much better than before.

Just kidding, they didn't want to waste a nice, fun night in the Potions Master's office. Moreover, Snape's tone did not sound like he was welcoming them!

Till did not find out whether the twins had finished dealing with the slugs with tentacles that night, or whether they had been confined for a few more days. She just picked a time when there was no one in Snape's office and made a special trip to invite him again.

"Severus, come spend Christmas with me. Mom and Dad welcome you." Teal sat on the small sofa, tilting his head lazily to look at Snape, who was grading a paper.

Snape's hand paused. He thought that Till just wanted him to date her more during the Christmas holidays, but he didn't expect that the last hint actually meant inviting him to spend Christmas at Emery's house.

"Teal, are you serious?" Snape swallowed. He couldn't continue correcting the paper, so he stood up and sat down face to face with Teal on the small sofa.

Christmas was different for Snape.

When he was young, Christmas was definitely the most annoying day of the year for Snape. Even his birthday, which no one celebrated, was not as good as Christmas, when everyone in his family was busy, but his family only had the sounds of beatings and drunkenness. .

After growing up, meeting Lily, and entering Hogwarts, Snape had some expectations for Christmas because Lily would prepare Christmas gifts for him. But this expectation is only slight, because only Lily will prepare Christmas gifts for him, and he often cannot prepare very precious gifts. He can only rely on the word "careful" to get every thank you from Lily.

As an adult, there was no sincerity in the Death Eater team. Even the many Christmas gifts given to him by Lucius Malfoy were all flashy and without much sincerity.

After joining the company, his colleagues at Hogwarts would prepare Christmas gifts for Snape, but Snape's heart was already dead. No longer could a simple Christmas gift make him give up on Christmas. resurrection.

Moreover, his Christmas vacation is always busy, and it cannot be called a qualified vacation at all.

But it is undeniable that Snape still has such a vague expectation in his heart, hoping that he can also have a normal Christmas and have a happy Christmas holiday.

Teal's Christmas invitation greatly unearthed this vague expectation. If this vague expectation is a flower seed, then Teal's invitation and the Emery couple's welcome are to water it to sprout, grow and sprout buds. Even blooming moisture and flower fertilizer.

After receiving Teal's nod, this blooming flower of expectation was engraved in Snape's heart and would never go out.

Snape blinked quickly, and before Teal could say anything, he put his arms around Teal and hugged Teal tightly into his arms: "Til, thank you."

Teal's head rested on Snape's chest, too shy to speak.

Till has hugged many people, including his parents, friends, Harry... but this is the first time he hugged his lover Snape.

Such an emotionally revealing hug undoubtedly brought the two people's hearts closer together. Teal felt that Snape's rapidly beating heart had infected his own heartbeat, and his own heart was beating so hard that it almost Jump out.

Teal raised his hands and placed them on Snape's broad back. The body under his arms was a little stiff, but he quickly relaxed and hugged Teal tighter.

"Thank you." Snape thanked him countless times, and Teal quietly waited for Snape's emotions to be vented.

Her professor had suffered too much before, and she may not have a comprehensive understanding, but she was willing to accompany her professor to soothe the scars in her heart.

Not only this Christmas, but every Christmas in the future, Snape will not be alone.
