Summary: The Elves' Daily Love

"--who is it?"

The figure wrapped in a black robe stopped, and then a gentle light came on, illuminating this small world.

Severus Snape looked at the small house in amazement, which had not existed during the day, and was speechless for a moment.

The silver-haired girl standing at the door holding a lantern glanced at him quietly - Severus Snape swore that he noticed this gaze that seemed to see through his soul.

"You're going to the Forbidden Forest?"

Severus Snape finally found his voice: "Who are you?"

The lantern floated up and landed in front of Severus Snape.

As the door closed with a slight creak, the voice of the mysterious girl could be heard faintly.

"—you'll know tomorrow."

Severus Snape hesitated for a moment, but still grasped the handle of the lantern and walked into the Forbidden Forest - surprisingly, he was not disturbed during the entire process of collecting herbs that night.

early morning.

Twelve-year-old boys and girls in different costumes walked through the spiraling stairs and entered the classroom together.

Severus Snape felt a little sleepy, but when he thought that the first class was Potions, he quickened his pace involuntarily.

However, the moment he entered the Potions classroom, he spotted the silver-haired figure in a light yellow skirt, standing out among the black and green crowd.

The eyes of the classmates in the classroom were more or less on her, but the girl still sat quietly with a calm expression, flipping through the book on the table - that was his.

Severus Snape noticed that it was the textbook he had left in the classroom yesterday.

And the empty seat next to the girl obviously belonged to him.

"Sif!"

Severus Snape's shoulder was patted from behind, and the smiling face of a red-haired girl appeared before him.

"What are you doing standing at the classroom door?"

Without his answer, Lily Evans followed Severus Snape's gaze, and when her eyes fell on the silver-haired girl, they lit up and she exclaimed in admiration from the bottom of her heart.

"She's so beautiful!"

Then there was doubt.

"But why is she in the classroom?"

It had been a while since the start of the school year. They had seen the new students and were also familiar with the seniors. So, if these two options were ruled out, she couldn't be a new professor.

"Okay kids, time to get back to your seats."

A smiling Albus Dumbledore and Potions professor Horace Slughorn appeared at the door at the same time.

Lily Evans and Severus Snape, who were still at the door, hurried to their seats.

Yun Ci stood up, put the textbook back in front of Severus Snape, and walked to the side of Headmaster Dumbledore.

The old man in the purple cloak winked at Yun Ci playfully: "Well, then, would our new friend like to introduce himself, or would you like me to do it?"

"Thank you, Headmaster, for giving me the opportunity." She folded her hands in front of her stomach, smiled and nodded, "Hello everyone, my name is Yun Ci, or should I use your way of introducing myself as Ci Yun? I'm from China, and I'll be studying at Hogwarts for the next few years. Please take good care of me."

Chinese?

Come here to study?

The students were talking a lot.

Lily Evans raised her hand: "Principal, which house was Yun assigned to?"

Dumbledore looked at Yun Ci tenderly before answering, "Yun is considered a special admission to Hogwarts, so she does not participate in the sorting."

No separate houses?

This is truly the first time in Hogwarts' history.

Some students were curious about the reason, but Dumbledore did not give them the chance to ask further. He signaled Yun Ci to return to her seat and left.

Professor Horace then began the class and the room quickly returned to silence, except for the occasional glances at Yun Ci, which showed everyone's increased curiosity about her.

The cool breath of the forest filled his nostrils. Severus Snape felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to move away, but he saw that cold white hand gently tapping his arm.

"Nice to meet you again." The clean-looking girl smiled and said to him, "I just got here yesterday. Can I look at the textbook with you?"

Severus Snape hesitated for a moment, then silently pushed the textbook to the middle area.

Yun Ci still smiled and thanked him. It was the first time that Severus Snape felt the peaceful temperament around her. He felt comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time.

Now that the textbooks have been distributed, there is no need to hesitate about borrowing parchment or a quill.

With the rustling sound of the quill pen hitting paper in his ears, Severus Snape's attention was quickly filled with knowledge of potions.

"——Okay, that's all for today."

Professor Horace announced the end of today's Potions class.

As the professor left, for the first time, this group of little wizards did not leave the classroom directly, but all looked at Yun Ci.

The brave and bold Gryffindor asked the question first, which made the little snake, who also wanted to understand the situation, stop in his tracks.

"Yun, why did you come to Hogwarts at this time?"

Yun Ci pushed the parchment and quill filled with records back to Snape, and smiled at the little lion who asked the question: "Because this is the time to take care of your own affairs."

It feels like no answer...

Lily Evans asked curiously, "But why don't you use the Sorting?"

Aren't all students coming to Hogwarts supposed to be sorted into houses?

Even though Lily had been at Hogwarts for a year, she still didn't quite understand things in the wizarding world.

"Maybe it's because..." Yun Ci smiled and lowered her eyes, "I'm a special student?"

"What a reason." Lily Evans laughed, "But if you are not sorted, which college dormitory should you live in?"

Yun Ci raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the forbidden forest: "I live on the edge of the forbidden forest."

"Is there no place for people to live over there?"

"Now there is."

The house next to the forbidden forest...

James Potter was somewhat tempted. He looked at his friends, squeezed forward, and leaned on Yunci's table next to Lily Evans: "Can we go and take a look?"

See where the girls live?

Lily Evans' expression suddenly turned bad.

She stood in front of Yun Ci and said firmly: "Potter, this is not a polite invitation!"

Severus Snape, who was immersed in Yun Ci's notes, was brought back to his senses by the girl's voice. He then realized that he was also surrounded.

James Potter, whom he hated, was calling out 'Evans' with a grin on his face.

The silver-haired girl seemed to notice his gaze and stood up with a smile: "Excuse me, I'm not familiar with this place. I wonder if I can go to the dining area with you guys?"

Today's classes only include a half-day Potions class in the morning, so we can rest in the afternoon.

Yun Ci smiled and looked at Lily Evans who was speaking for her: "If you don't mind, can I invite you to visit my place after dinner? There are a lot of good potion materials near the Forbidden Forest--"
