HP Paranoia and Antisocial

Waking up in a daze, Severus was not surprised to find that the seat beside him was already empty.

Stepping on his slippers, Severus walked towards Nagini's glass tank.

The curtains opened automatically as Severus walked, revealing the slightly dim sunlight outside the window.The ventilating window in the corner was opened a little wider, and the cold wind that came in blows a corner of the curtain.

Slight movements could not affect the temperature in the room, let alone have any additional impact on Nagini in the glass jar.

After watching quietly for a while, making sure that Nagini, who was hibernating quietly, showed no sign of waking up, Severus went to wash up.

He came out and changed into the clothes Wardmont had prepared for him, and went downstairs slowly.

There are simple Christmas decorations in the corridors of the manor, the style is different from those in Hogwarts, and it is also different from the decorations that ordinary people are used to.

There is no mistletoe in the windows.

Before the holiday, Professor Piaget deliberately made windows near the tower and the lounge in the cellar, and hung mistletoe on the door lintels, and happily told him that it was for the convenience of lovers to talk to each other.

The mistletoe that had been hung was partly Severus' work.

After helping Professor Piaget arrange this once, Severus remembered the mistletoe very clearly.

It was no accident that there was no mistletoe on the farm.After all, only he and Wardmont are there, so why would the teacher and the students need to kiss?

restaurant.

Waldmont sat in a chair and read the newspaper, and the breakfast that the two needed appeared on the table little by little.After the last serving of warm milk, Severus showed up at the door of the restaurant on time.

Hearing Severus' footsteps, putting down the newspaper, Wardmont and Severus exchanged good mornings.

Severus was cutting the eggs on the plate, planning to order roasted tomatoes: "What's the news today?"

Wardmont revealed the board: "Nothing special, big things only happen after the holidays."

Glancing at the newspaper page, it was about the Hogsmeade Christmas celebrations, which Severus wasn't too interested in.On the contrary, it was Waldmont's words that made him feel that Waldmont was going to make a big move again.

"What are you going to do after vacation?"

"What should have been done in the morning," Wardmont said, pushing the vegetable and fruit salad closer to Severus, "Ministry of Magic."

"Are you going to go in and work?" There were Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic, and Severus knew that those pure-blood families had been running the business for so many years, and they would not let go except for economics and politics.But Wardmont himself had been hesitant to join the Ministry, which made Severus feel that he was restrained.

Wardmont couldn't help laughing when he heard this statement: "You are right."

"Good luck." Severus didn't have any special feelings about the current Ministry of Magic. It's not bloated, but it's not good in terms of momentum or workmanship. It's easy for people like Waldmont to handle it.

They have no room for rejection.

"Recently, I saw a new healthy way of eating, vegetable and fruit milkshake. Maybe I will let the house elves make it tomorrow." Seeing that Severus frowned after drinking the milk, Waldmont said "good news" .

"Yeah." Severus, who didn't know what it was, dealt with it casually. It's okay if you get used to drinking milk, but it's not bad if you can change it, "Is there any arrangement later?"

"After breakfast, we have to prepare gifts for some people. There are a lot of suitable stocks in the warehouse of the manor. You should also learn to choose gifts-this is also a compulsory item in the etiquette class."

The long-lost etiquette class!Severus almost forgot about it.

And the word "gift" finally reminded Severus that he had neglected his promise to communicate with Lily.

He didn't even write to Lily after booking with Lily before getting off the train.But every day he still had time to write one or two unnutritious things in that notebook, in order to cope with Dumbledore's inspection afterwards.

"Before you didn't seem to..."

It was the first time Severus had heard Wardmont talk about Christmas presents.Last Christmas, Waldmont contacted the store directly to pack and deliver the gifts. Only the gifts he got were chosen by Waldmont himself and handed over to him.

"Of course not everyone is worthy of it." Waldmont is not idle, so there is a purpose in this arrangement.

Severus probably understood that this was to win over people's hearts, to show that he was approachable and amiable, and that he was a leader worthy of their trust.

Thinking of Lily, Lucius and Professor Piaget, and Dumbledore teaching them, Severus planned to pick out gifts that they would be satisfied with later.

Unfortunately, Severus didn't expect that he would spend a whole day in the warehouse for the "etiquette lesson" of picking and packing presents.

After finishing writing and posting the letter at night, Severus fell asleep on the bed, not even waiting for Lily's reply.

Late at night, Evans' house.

Covered by heavy curtains, warm yellow light filled the room.

The citrus aroma permeates the air, revealing freshness and sweetness.

Lily tossed and turned in bed the letter from Severus, she had waited long enough for this.

If she didn't believe that Severus would remember their agreement, she would have sent the letter by herself.

In the letter, Severus first apologized to her for not sending the letter earlier, wrote some interesting stories about him and his family in the middle, said that he had a good time and received unexpected surprises, and finally told her that she would also send her a letter tomorrow. You can get an unexpected surprise.

She had to admit that she was a little annoyed that she had been waiting for Severus' letter, but from the letter, it seemed that Severus's vacation was not very easy.Thinking that he was spinning like a spinning top in school and never had a free time, Lily didn't want to worry about it anymore.

It's not for the mysterious gift he said!

She actually wrote a lot of letters and didn't send them. This time, Severus' owl took away all the letters, even her gift.

Originally, she didn't want to take it out so soon, but she was more worried that her owl would not be able to deliver the gift to Severus' house smoothly.

Holding Severus' letter in her arms, Lily's thoughts drifted to the day she sent them back from school for the holidays.

Who would be the man who picked up Severus on the platform?

Is it his father?

From the back view, he is really tall and handsome.Although her father had always been the most handsome in her heart, the man who picked up Severus had to admit that he was also very good-looking.

Just didn't see the front.

Severus never mentioned his family affairs, and Lily only remembered that he used to live in this area, otherwise he wouldn't be able to find the park.But he moved - Sirius Black, he said at the beginning of school, Severus was taken by Prince's family, and he was half-breed...

It was a mess back then, and there were fights because of it, so Lily never dared to ask.She was also worried that if she asked, it would hurt Severus.

But curiosity can never stop.

Prince, is it a prince?

Lily recalled her naive thoughts once again, clutching the letter paper, her face blushing.

The author has something to say:

Early next morning

Severus stared at the green liquid in the glass: what's this?

Watermont (raise a glass): Fruit and Veggie Smoothie

Severus (tasting): …………… (does not want to speak)

Wardmont: Cheers

Severus (drinking): You don't seem to hate the taste?

WODMONT (suppresses gag, smiles): Not bad

Severus: (Does he have no taste?)
