Summary: The Elves' Daily Love

"--Hey, so you are cooperating with Malfoy from the seventh grade to sell potions." Yun Ci was lying on the table, writing furiously, doing three things at once. "It's amazing. The future potion master can actually make potions of good quality that can be sold at the beginning of the second grade--the spell over there is wrong, it's not like that, it should be like this..."

When the house-elf Jump Jump appeared, he saw the two of them immersed in their studies.

She interrupted their study with great apology: "I am Tiaotiao, miss. I am sorry to bother you. Professor McGonagall notified me to come and see you. If you miss dinner next time, you can call Tiaotiao's name."

Yun Ci put down her pen and thanked Tiao Tiao with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Tiao Tiao. I'm afraid I have to trouble you now. Can you help me prepare two dinners?"

"Jump, jump, I'll go!"

The house-elf snapped his fingers and disappeared on the spot.

At this time, Severus Snape was able to float in the air for a short period of time without the help of any tools.

Yun Ci applauded and praised: "You are such a good student that it is easy for the teacher to be proud of you."

Severus Snape raised his chin slightly, obviously very proud.

He does have enough brains to be proud of.

Yun Ci rummaged through the bookshelf, took out two books and put them on the table, then picked up a pen and began to write quickly.

Severus Snape came behind Yun Ci and watched her writing black, square words on the test paper, studying her with some curiosity.

During this period, the magic potions brewed by the two parties together had unexpectedly good effects, which made Severus Snape very interested in Chinese herbs.

Seeing his curiosity, Yun Ci put down her pen again and looked at Severus Snape: "Do you want to learn?"

Familiar questions and answers.

"please."

A familiar reply.

The two of them immersed themselves in study again.

To Yun Ci's surprise, the dinner brought by the house-elf Tiao Tiao was a combination of Chinese and Western dishes. Although the taste of the Chinese dish was not so perfect, it could still be considered delicious, and - she was very attentive.

She thanked Tiao Tiao with surprise and gave him her own gift -

A book that teaches how to make fabric.

A book that teaches how to make clothes.

They are all the simplest ones that are easy to learn.

Tiao Tiao was so excited after getting the two books that he almost jumped up. He thanked Yun Ci repeatedly before leaving.

Severus Snape looked at it calmly: "Why are you sending these?"

Yun Ci sat down at the low table: "Gift for meeting you."

Severus Snape spoke with a nasal voice.

Yun Ci picked up the chopsticks and looked at him with a raised eyebrow: "Ah, I will make up for your gift."

"I didn't say that."

"Yes, yes..." Yun Ci stuffed the fried meat that looked a bit like barbecue into her mouth and swallowed it before saying, "I wanted to give it to you myself."

"Halloween party?"

"Yes."

Even though she had already participated once, Lily Evans was still looking forward to sharing it with Yun Ci.

"What should we dress up as this year... Yun, do you have any ideas?"

Yun Ci's first reaction was: Oh, a deliberately scary activity. If she takes out the ghost bride——

No, no, no. This is just a small activity among kids after all. It seems a bit too much to use a big move right away.

Yun Ci did not stop writing furiously on the test paper, and said to Lily Evans who was drinking tea beside her: "Keep it a secret for now."

She would try to pick out some outfits that weren't too scary.

"By the way, since this is a dance...do we need to dance?"

Severus Snape, who was flipping through a book at the side, slowed down his movements and cast a vague glance at Yun Ci.

Mary Freeman pinched the cookie and looked at Lily Evans.

"There are no specific dancing requirements, but some colleges will hold a small party in their own rest area after the Halloween dinner—"

For example, Slytherin.

"——But each branch's celebration is different. If you are interested, you can attend our Gryffindor dinner. Everyone welcomes you."

Yun Ci declined.

She actually didn't want to get involved too much with the people here.

Although there are reasons why I won’t live here forever in the future, the main reason is that I don’t want to be a pawn or a part of a plot.

As for love goals.

To be honest, Yun Ci didn't hold much hope from the beginning.

For a very devoted person like Severus Snape, it would be very difficult to get him to like her, unless she chose to meet him before Lily Evans - but this did not guarantee that he would definitely fall in love with her.

After all, human emotions cannot be controlled.

Yun Ci just didn't want to give up without trying.

"So--" Lily Evans seemed to be struggling with her words, not knowing how to start.

Yun Ci could roughly guess what she wanted to ask, and said with a smile: "I have never learned the dance here."

This is not something that cannot be discussed.

Yun Ci noticed that there was some obvious surprise on Severus Snape's face, but he quickly concealed it.

He is only 12 years old this year.

I still can't hide my emotions perfectly.

"It's not a serious matter." Lily Evans said, "You've only been here for a few weeks. Before that, you've been living in a different place from here, even in another country with different history, culture, and living culture. It's normal that you don't know how to dance. Of course, if you are interested in the dance here, Mary and I are happy to learn with you."

She smiled and winked at Yun Ci: "Just like when we accompanied Xi Fu to study last year."

The proud Sifu did not get angry because Lily Evans used him as a comparison to comfort Yunci. He even said comfortingly: "It will only take a little time for you."

"Then I'll leave it to you - Professor Evans, Professor Freeman, Professor Snape?"

The girl raised an eyebrow at the three of them.

Lily Evans was the first to laugh. She stood up, straightened her clothes like Professor McGonagall, and said while holding her wand, "That's a really nice name, Mr. Yun."

Mary Freeman was also somewhat yearning for this title. She asked curiously, "So, have you ever considered staying at Hogwarts as a professor in the future?"

"That's a good question, too." Lily Evans sat back down. "But I don't think I would?"

She looked very conflicted.

Yun Ci held her chin and rubbed her fingertips on the edge of the porcelain plate containing the biscuits.

"You all know what I said. I will go home later, so I won't stay in Hogwarts--"
