Summary: The Elves' Daily Love

Separation is always a very sad topic.

Lily Evans squeezed closer to Yun Ci: "That's too far. I mean, I will miss you."

"The Muggle world is very convenient for traveling. You can come over there to play with me anytime, provided you have the time."

"makes sense."

Lily Evans' mood soon improved because of the new topic.

Yun Ci listened to their conversation quietly. Next to her was Severus Snape who hardly spoke.

His focus was on Yun Ci's notebook, which recorded a lot of Yun Ci's research and understanding of the herbs in this world.

Severus Snape watched it very seriously, so seriously that even when Lily Evans talked to him several times, he only gave a slightly perfunctory response.

Yun Ci watched quietly, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Time gradually came to dinner time. Yun Ci went to the cafeteria with the three of them for a rare occasion, and was pulled by Lily Evans to sit at the Gryffindor table.

Yun Ci looked at the four long tables that were clearly separated from each other, and still didn't understand.

The lessons are all the same, so why do we need to categorize people?

This will only make it even more difficult for them to unite.

"Hey." Sirius Black sat down next to Yun Ci, "Welcome, are you going to join Gryffindor?"

"Are people other than Gryffindor not welcome here?"

"Of course not, any friend is welcome, oh, except Slytherin of course."

Compared to the noisy Gryffindor table, the elegant Slytherin table was very quiet. Even if there were conversations, the volume would not be very loud.

"Try this." Lily Evans placed a glass of pumpkin juice in front of Yun Ci, and then put down a piece of barbecue. "I think these taste very good."

Yun Ci thanked him and turned her attention to eating.

She actually didn't really care about 'don't talk while eating, don't talk while sleeping', but with Sirius Black staring at her, she didn't have much desire to communicate.

Lily Evans and James Potter next to them started arguing again, and Sirius Black seemed to have said something as well.

Yun Ci didn't hear it clearly.

She just accidentally met the eyes of Severus Snape from Slytherin.

He seemed not to have expected Yun Ci to look at him. His expression showed some obvious surprise, and then he nodded slightly.

Yun Ci responded with a smile, lowered her eyes, picked up a piece of meat that was just right for eating, and started eating quietly.

--It's noisy.

It seems that unless it is necessary, I will have to ask Tiao Tiao to help me prepare meals in the future.

She sat there quietly, as if isolated from the whole world, looking so lonely.

*

10 month 31 day.

Halloween.

After finishing a day's classes, Lily Evans excitedly came to Yun Ci and Severus Snape.

"Hey, are you ready? I'm really looking forward to seeing you guys dress up."

Especially Yunci's.

Yun Ci smiled and put away the notes: "There is still a long time before the dinner. If you are not tired, you can be the first person to see it."

"I'll come find you!" Lily Evans looked at Severus Snape, "Severus, you'll dress up too, right?"

She looked very expectant, and Severus Snape finally nodded, his hair shaking, revealing his pink ears faintly.

"Then I'll take my leave first." Yun Ci stood up with her things, "My outfit is a bit complicated, so I have to hurry."

Lily Evans quickly made way and said to Yun Ci's back, "I'll help you as soon as possible."

Yun Ci waved her hand, and her conspicuous figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

Her Halloween costume is very simple, just a female ghost wearing a cheongsam.

It was dressed in the usual way, but with some wounds and lingering blood on the body, making it look like it had been dismembered and then put back together.

When Lily Evans dragged Severus Snape, who was just wearing a death cloak, to the bamboo house, Yun Ci was painting red on her legs.

The originally white and smooth legs had now been turned blue by her magic. They looked cold and without any vitality.

Lily Evans was stunned for a moment, and the first thing she did when she ran to Yun Ci was to reach out to feel her breath.

Yun Ci couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, I'm still alive, not a moving corpse."

Lily Evans was obviously relieved, and she walked around Yun Ci.

Her silver hair was tied up with a black and red wooden hairpin, and she wore a short black and red cheongsam that just exposed most of the wounds on her body. Her bloodless skin made her look less alive, but despite this——

"So beautiful." Lily Evans leaned close to Yun Ci's face, "You don't look like you're wearing any makeup."

The most obvious thing is that the lips are painted bright red, red like blood, and there is a little bit of red spreading under the lips, just like -

It's like I just swallowed something that's bleeding--

Lily Evans shuddered.

"you are beautiful too."

She is dressed as a vampire today, and her pointed teeth match her red hair very well.

The two girls smiled and praised each other, and finally took several photos with the camera that Yunci took out to keep as memories.

Severus Snape was pulled into it by force.

He felt a little uncomfortable, and touched his hair which had become greasy from making potions. His eyes were a little evasive, and he didn't look directly at the camera.

'Crack--'

The photo freezes.

Lily Evans stood in the middle with a laugh, "confining" Yun Ci and Severus Snape on the left and right.

Severus Snape looked to the other side, where there was no one.

Yun Ci was looking at the camera with a smile, her expression gentle, which didn't match her outfit at all.

After the three of them took enough photos - although one of them was forced to do so - they headed to the Halloween dinner.

There are still quite a few small games tonight. As Yun Ci plays, she puts everything else behind her and concentrates on enjoying the present.

She watched the final ghost show with bright eyes, clapping along with everyone else, with Lily Evans's excited laughter beside her.

The noise soon ended.

Everything returns to tranquility.

Lily Evans left in a hurry because she had an astronomy class in the evening, and only Severus Snape, under her serious instructions, sent Yun Ci back to the bamboo house.

The two walked side by side on a deserted path. The surroundings were so quiet that they seemed isolated from the world, but the noise just now still lingered in their ears and brains.

"--it was a lively dinner."

"If it weren't for all those stupid games and shows."

Yun Ci chuckled: "I heard that Slytherin will have a small dance party later. Snape, do you want to dance?"

Severus Snape refused without much interest, clearly not interested.

"That's a shame."

The moonlight is bright, shining on the girl's shiny hair.

He watched the girl extend her hand towards him in a slightly obscure manner, making an inviting gesture.

Severus Snape suddenly realized.

It turns out that she was not asking about later, but about now.

It's now.
