April Fools' Confession

(The setting is that Sisi didn't know what Ases was thinking, and the two were considered close friends at the time.)

On April Fool's Day one year, Ases confessed, "Sif, I like you."

Snape, who was correcting papers, raised his eyebrows and finally looked up at Ases who was fiddling with the table ornaments: "I didn't expect Mr. Cavendish to be so interested in teasing me."

"Happy April Fools' Day! Sev."

Aceth followed Snape's meaning and pointed out that today was April Fool's Day.

At night, back in the room, Ases leaned against the wall, no longer hiding the emotions in his eyes.

He never wanted to lie to him, even on April Fool's Day when people enjoyed deceiving others. He...only dared to tell the truth on April Fool's Day.

Before adapting to the change in relationship

(The timeline is probably after that out-of-control incident, the relationship progressed by leaps and bounds, from cuddling to kissing and hugging!)

In the first half of his life, Snape rarely had overly intimate actions with other people, even hugging was rare. It is conceivable how difficult it was for him to adapt after he tacitly allowed Aces to get close to him.

That day, Athis was sleeping in a daze, not knowing what he dreamed about. He hugged Snape and rubbed against him. His warm lips kept rubbing against his skin, causing him to shiver.

Snape, who had been awake for a while but had not moved, was rubbed stiff all over. He raised his hand to push Athis away, but the moment he put his hand on him, he accidentally knocked off his nightgown.

The pink scar on the shoulder was revealed in front of his eyes, and his hand that was trying to push him away suddenly stopped.

When Ases woke up, he found that he was clinging to Snape like an octopus, and Snape was still sleeping in his arms, but the tips of his ears covered by his black hair were quietly hot.

About Jealousy

Dumbledore really didn't like Grindelwald being jealous. Every time Grindelwald was jealous, he would only get a hearty "cold violence" - being ignored for an hour.

This is the result of Grindelwald's jealousy.

But Asseth is different.

He is very jealous.

Literally very good.

Snape couldn't even get angry.

Best Couples List

(The timeline is of course after marriage)

Recently, the wizarding world has come up with a new thing - a list of the best couples. The ranking is updated at a fixed time every day, and is ranked based on how inseparable they are and based on anonymous public voting.

Since voting accounts for 60% of the total votes and is highly subjective, the rankings change very quickly. However, two people have been at the top of the list for a whole month and have not come down yet.

For this reason, a craze broke out in the British wizarding community, with people betting on when these two would be removed from the list.

The Daily Prophet smelled the gossip and rushed over to hold a special interview about the best couples list, inviting the couples on the list to be interviewed separately.

[First: Snape]

In the interview room, two sofas were placed opposite each other, with two people sitting on each.

Reporter: "Mr. Snape, do you have any objection to the ranking on the list?"

Snape took a look at the list handed over and looked away with satisfaction.

"Obviously, no."

The young reporter was not very old, and he also graduated from Hogwarts. He had suffered and been scolded by the Potions Professor. When he heard the familiar tone and words, his back stiffened and he almost dropped the quill he was using to take notes.

Snape gave him a cold glance.

The shaky feather pen immediately stabilized and continued writing stroke by stroke.

"Any other questions?" Snape, unwilling to waste time here, began to urge.

The young reporter swallowed and looked at the questions on the manuscript, hesitating, not knowing how to ask.

Snape frowned: "Mr. Miles, did your boss just ask you to come here and stare at me?"

"Did I?" the young reporter asked tentatively.

Snape nodded impatiently.

"I really said that?"

The young reporter continued to test the waters, but the following series of questions were too dangerous and would put him in danger if he was not careful.

"Mr. Miles, I assume you are aware that my time is not as useless as yours?"

Snape put his elbow on the armrest, his body slightly leaning forward, his eyes sharp and oppressive. The aura of the Potions Professor was overwhelming him in an instant, and his patience was running out.

The young reporter held the manuscript in his hand with fear, not daring to keep Snape waiting any longer. He said in a weak voice, "Everyone is very curious about your relationship. We have compiled a few questions and hope that you two can answer them. Professor Cavendish will receive the same questions next door."

Snape's expression softened and he nodded, indicating him to ask.

The young reporter swallowed and asked, "Who of you chased who first?"

This problem is normal.

It is also the most normal question.

Snape said without hesitation: "Him."
