HP Paranoia and Antisocial

"Boy, let me warn you, this place is not far from the street, if you do something bad, we can still find adults to help if we yell." Petunia warned Severus with forceful calm.

In her opinion, a boy who sneaks and hides in the dark is not like a good person.Although this kid looks quite clean, it's not like she hasn't encountered those bad boys who pretend to be decent. Who knows how much this guy has seen in the dark.

She told Lily not to do that, she was fine now, and was seen by a brat.If this guy tells others loudly, their family will probably be in trouble.

Severus narrowed his eyes, but said nothing, and he didn't leave.

This was the first time he met someone who knew magic here, and the other person seemed to be about the same age as him.

Severus sometimes wanted to talk to someone, but ordinary kids, they wouldn't understand him either.In the spider's end alley, there are a lot of garbage that scolds him as a monster, so why should he go up there to scold him?

And now that he has met a little witch, as long as he speaks well, it is very likely that he will be recognized.

They are the same kind, and the same kind will not scold the same kind.And there was someone beside her who didn't understand her, and Severus was convinced that she was looking for the same.

So Severus held out his palms to them, and Lily's flower was lying in his palm.

Lily hid behind Petunia, and felt a little embarrassed when she saw the flower.The dispute between her and Petunia probably affected innocent people.

Petunia's face was not very natural, and if the flower hit the other party, she didn't seem to have a position.

The next moment the flower floated unsteadily from Severus' palm.

"Lily, I told you not to show your strange abilities in front of outsiders." Petunia turned around and stared at Lily suspiciously.

Normally, Lily would argue a few words, but now Lily just looked at Severus with bright eyes.

Petunia seemed to understand something, she suddenly turned to look at Severus.

Severus smiled at Lily and said, "It's magic."

The flower drew a beautiful arc in the air, and finally fell into Lily's outstretched palm.

Severus raised his hand, and the fallen leaves on the ground also floated up. They were like some kind of miracle, spinning and flying in the air with the mysterious melody.

This is like the fairy tale Lily once dreamed about, so wonderful.

Severus, who stretched out his hand to them, looked like an elf prince amidst the dancing leaves all over the sky.He is thin and pale, and the sun shines on him like a thin snowflake that will melt, but he is moving enough in this situation.

No one can refuse such a hand.

Holding the flowers, Lily walked towards Severus as if bewitched.

Petunia was awakened by the sound of Lily's footsteps. She grabbed Lily and quickly led Lily away from here.

Severus was about to speak to Lily, but Petunia moved so fast that before he could say anything, the figures of the two girls disappeared into the small park.

Severus looked in the direction in which they disappeared, and lowered his hands.Looking back, he walked slowly to his old position, and Severus sat down slowly against the tree trunk.

He had a hunch that the little red-haired witch would definitely come back.Even if she doesn't come back today, she will find her again sooner or later.She longed for someone like her, just like him.

Severus was so sure.

Lily returned home, just as Severus thought, thinking about him.

"Magic!" Lily looked at her hands, her eyes were shining.

Could there be any other reason besides magic?

Could it be the power of those angels or elves in fairy tales?Otherworldly power?

Lily folded her palms together and fell happily on the bed|: It would be great if Petunia didn't pull me away so quickly, that boy, if only I could talk to him a few more words!He can tell what kind of power it is, and say we are the same, are there more like me?What is their life like?Will there be a castle?Can a person with magic be like a princess?Who is he?Will it be a prince?

Is it the prince who specially took her to his country?

Lily couldn't help thinking of Severus, thinking of his skin that was white and transparent under the sun, and his pair of deep black eyes. He stood among the flying leaves all over the sky, like walking out of a fairy tale sprites.

Quietly, Lily blushed.

"Lily, come down and help!" Petunia's slightly shrill voice pierced through the floor and reached Lily's ears, shattering the teenage dream she had just given birth to.

But that's okay, Lily thought, there's always a chance, they'll meet.Just like the princess and prince in a fairy tale, they always have to encounter some setbacks to come together and get a happy ending.

Severus, who was far away in Spider's End, didn't know a little girl's fantasy, he just looked palely at Tobias Snape's hands raised to Irene again, and he was accusing Irene of stealing His money, accusing Irene of using his money to clean him up so cleanly, a little bastard, should be thrown in the stinky gutter to rot with those weeds.

Everything has changed, but nothing has changed.

Tobia didn't listen to Irene's defense. He didn't believe that a "devil" like Irene could find a decent job in such a world, and he didn't believe that any fool would advance wages at this time.

Severus was trembling all over, and what happened before his eyes made him deeply aware that he was still in hell.He didn't think any more, and when he came back to his senses, he had already stood in front of Irene, taking Tobia's slap instead of Irene.

Tobias' hand was surprisingly strong, and Severus was sent flying sideways, with ringing in his ears, and fell to the ground dizzily, unable to get up for a while.

Irene screamed, and regardless of Tobias' threats, she rushed over and hugged Severus: "Tobias, it's true, it's true... I have a job, I really have a job , as long as next month, we can get wages, we can all have enough to eat..."

The witch's tears flowed down, not only fear, but also haste, mixed with unspeakable sorrow.

"Really?" Tobias doesn't have much money and can't drink much alcohol. At the moment he is still reeking of alcohol, but his consciousness is actually quite clear. He is just looking for an excuse to beat up Irene and that kid. If it weren't for these two As a loser, I'm afraid he won't fall to such a point.But now that woman Irene can make money, then he will have money to drink again——Thinking of this, Tobia stumbled over and grabbed Irene's hair, "Now you have a chance to take all the money Come out, and I'm sure you've got a job."

Irene was pulled to the point of collapse, her scalp hurt from being scratched, tears filled her eyes instantly, but she couldn't feel any more, she just told Tobia numbly that she didn't have much money now, and all the money left was It's for the family to eat, they have to pay a lot, the house should have electricity and gas, they haven't been able to take a hot shower in a long time... everything costs money.

Tobias, who couldn't get the money, started a new round of madness. Irene tried to protect Severus. a spell.

Severus was frightened by Tobia's madness, and protected by Irene, he was dumbstruck.

It wasn't until Irene was beaten silently that Tobia, who didn't get any feedback, took the last money from Irene, and then left with satisfaction.

Once again, No. 19 Spider's End Lane, which had become dirty and dilapidated, maintained such a deathly silence for an unknown period of time before Severus, who was trembling all over, suddenly woke up.

He was pressed down by Irene, and the wound on Irene's head was still bleeding, gurgling, dripping on his face and body.

Severus called Irene's name in a panic, but Irene couldn't give Severus any response.

Every time... every time it's like this, thinking that it can get better, but it turns out to usher in a more hopeless future.

Severus hated himself for being weak. He couldn't protect anyone he wanted to protect, and he couldn't punish anyone who caused him pain... every time—"Mother, aren't wizards very powerful? Why, Why are we still like this?"

Severus hugged Irene's limp arm, sobbing silently, the blood gushing out from Irene's body warmly wet his clothes, the clothes that were clean were completely dirty.He could feel Irene's heat going away, what should he do?They will all die here... Even if they are alive, can they escape Tobia's shadow?

"Mom, if you die... If you die, will everything end like this?"

Severus hugged Irene helplessly. If he must die, it might be today.

A tear fell from the corner of Severus' eye and fell into his ear.

With Severus as the center, a hurricane swept across No. 19, Spider's End.
