[HP] look at you

Waking up by the sound of rain early in the morning, Olivia opened the curtains and saw that the rain outside was not too heavy, and a faint mist rose.

The sudden drop in temperature made her wrap her pajamas tightly.

When I exhaled, there was a white mist!

The weather in the UK is so cloudy and unpredictable. The temperature in early spring suddenly returned to winter in this rain, which suddenly caught people off guard.

Olivia took out a wool shawl and put it on, and went downstairs to turn on the heating. After searching for a long time, she finally found the heating switch, but found that there was no response after pressing it.

She paid the heating bill on purpose, why can't it be used?

After tossing for a long time, Lily and Mary came down with sweaters on.

"It's really cold today." Lily shrugged her shoulders and said.

Mary hurried to the kitchen to boil water.

Olivia held Lily's hand to feel the temperature, and asked them, "Have you brought enough clothes?"

"Take it with you. There is a coat in the room."

Mary poked her head out from the kitchen: "Who in England dares to go out without enough clothes? By the way, Ollie, there doesn't seem to be enough food in the refrigerator."

"It's okay, I'll ask the driver to bring some over later."

Snape also went downstairs at this time. He was neatly dressed, but his clothes were obviously a little thin, with a thin knitted jacket over his shirt.

Olivia put down Lily's hand and took his, it was really cold.

"No thick clothes?" She covered him with her shawl.

"Yeah." Snape tugged at the shawl and wanted to return it.

Irene was not a skilled and considerate mother, and she didn't prepare everything for him, so he naturally couldn't think of so much.

"You cover it first, I still have a blanket, and I will bring it to you later."

"Give it to me later, I don't need it now."

Snape stubbornly tore off the shawl from his body, Olivia had no choice but to put it on again, thinking about whether to use a day's warming spell in this situation.

After the hot water was boiled, the four of them made black tea and coffee, warmed their hands, and sat at the dining table to watch the weather outside.

"It seems that there is no way to go out today." Lily felt a little regretful.

"It's no fun going out in such a cold day." Mary would rather stay at home and watch TV.

Olivia asked, "Have you done your homework?"

Both Lily and Mary slumped.

"Then just do homework at home today, and go out when the weather is better."

Mary looked displeased: "My father only allows me to play for a week, and I still want to do my homework after I go back."

Lily nodded along.

Sure enough, even a good student may procrastinate on homework during the holidays.

"OK, then let's watch TV, eat snacks, and take a day off today, okay?"

Lily and Mary high five each other.

Olivia looked at the heating switch with a headache: "But the heating doesn't seem to work. Do we need to use a fireplace? It seems that there is no wood prepared here."

Suddenly the doorbell rang, and Olivia got up to open the door. Snape thought for a while and followed.

Lily and Mary, who were left behind, glanced at each other and exchanged an ambiguous expression.

"I just said that Sev is different from Ollie." As Snape's only friend before, Lily could naturally notice the changes in him after he came to Hogwarts. "He never had friendly relations with anyone before."

Mary, who had hardly spoken to Snape alone, nodded in empathy: "Olly is not the same to Snape, I doubt that she has ever said more than ten words to boys other than Snape. .”

Lily was a little uncertain: "I feel that Olly treats Sif much the same as she treats us." They are all mainly joking and caring.

"But they spend more time with each other than with us."

"That's right..."

"If only they could be like Daniel and Melody." Mary was still thinking about yesterday's movie.

Lily also held her chin to fantasize.

The two people who walked to the entrance had no idea of ​​the girlish thoughts of the two little girls. Olivia smiled and glanced at Snape, knowing why he followed him. Although it was a bit funny, it was also somewhat useful.

She opened the door, and Alphard outside was wearing a thick overcoat, a scarf that was tightly wrapped, and buckskin gloves on the hand holding the umbrella.Even so, his face was still paler than yesterday.

This frail temperament added a fragile beauty to his handsome appearance.

"Good morning, Miss Orpington." His lips were slightly dark, which made people feel that his blood was stagnant, but when he smiled, he had a calm and calm attitude.

"Good morning, Mr. Black." Olivia couldn't help worrying about his body, "What's the matter?"

"It's a bit cold today. I think you should turn on the heating, but the winters were very cold in the past two years. The water pipes in many houses here were frozen, and the heating was also affected. There was no one in this house before. Come live, I'm worried whether your heating will work."

Olivia suddenly realized.

"It really doesn't work, I'm still wondering." Olivia frowned, "It seems that I need to find someone to repair it, does Mr. Black have a phone number for the repair company?"

"The repairmen should be on vacation these days, and on such a bad day, no one may come even with a tip." Alphard seemed more familiar with the daily life of ordinary people than she was.

"..." Olivia felt a little nostalgic.

If it is □□, a phone call, what can be done through the sewer, repairing the toilet, opening the door and changing the lock, all can be done, and the quality is cheap.Now the workers of the British Empire are bigger than the prime minister.

"Then I'll just have to buy some wood for the fireplace."

"Did someone clear the chimney in advance?"

"..."

Olivia thought that she had considered everything comprehensively and prepared carefully, but she didn't expect there to be so many omissions. She was really too self-righteous.

In such a cold day, even using a warming spell would make them uncomfortable all day. Should they all be wrapped in quilts?Or just go out and open a hotel?

Alphard saw Olivia's embarrassment, and said with a smile: "If you don't mind, would you like to come to my house to keep warm? I just baked a lot of bread, and I can't finish it by myself. If I can share it with you It could not be better."

If you're alone, you probably wouldn't bake too much bread.It was obvious that the other party had thought of this matter when they got up early in the morning, and made special preparations for them. Such delicate and considerate thoughts made people feel a little sorry for even refusing.

Although Olivia was a little moved, she still didn't make a direct decision: "Thank you, Mr. Black, for your kindness. I have to discuss it with my friends before I can give you an answer. It's too cold outside, you go back first, no matter what the result is , I will come to visit later.”

Alphard nodded: "Please be careful when you come out, the road is very slippery, and there is some water outside, please be careful to avoid it."

Olivia couldn't help feeling his gentlemanly demeanor until she closed the door.

Snape next to him had a toothache expression on his face: "You don't really want to go, do you?"

Olivia just ignored him: "Blake from Gryffindor said that it is reasonable for those in Slytherin to put on airs. Compared with this Mr. Black, those in Slytherin really can't see it. Alas, A generation is not as good as a generation.”

Snape saw her true face completely: "Isn't it because he is good-looking?"

"Malfoy is also good-looking, the key is temperament, temperament is good."

Olivia felt that she couldn't make sense with such a little boy, so she ran to Lily and Mary and said loudly, "Good news, girls, the handsome guy next door invited us to visit, we can go to his house to keep warm."

Lily and Mary jumped up immediately.

"I'm going to change clothes."

"I recomb my hair."

Snape:  …

He declined to comment.

Of course, none of the three girls wanted to ask for his opinion. They dressed up and ran to the next door to ring the doorbell, all of them smiling sweetly.

"Good morning, Mr. Black."

Snape followed behind with a sulky face.

As soon as they entered the door, they could feel the full heating. When they entered the living room, there was a hot fireplace. They immediately took off their coats and scarves and sat on the sofa.

Alphard poured a cup of hot cocoa for each of them: "I'm a little afraid of the cold, so I made the room hotter. I hope you won't feel too uncomfortable."

"Not really." Olivia only felt that the cold and damp just now had been dried up, and after taking a sip of sweet cocoa, she felt warm all over.

Lily and Mary looked at Alphard curiously.

"Are you really Black's uncle?"

Alphard touched his face and smiled: "Don't we look alike?"

"That's not it."

"Well...he's more lively..."

For the sake of beauty, Mary said against her will.

Olivia looked at the house while they were talking.

The layout of the two adjacent houses is similar, but Alphard has spent a lot of thought on arranging his house, which looks warm and elegant.

There are a lot of flowers and green plants, which seem to be cut from the garden. The walls are decorated with picture frames in different styles. It doesn’t look like they were painted by themselves. The score is half turned.

It doesn't look like a wizard's residence at all.

"Why do you live here? I mean, wizards don't live with Muggles?" Lily asked puzzledly because she didn't know the situation of Black's house.

Alphard, who was taking the bread from the oven, paused slightly, then put the bread in front of them with an unchanged expression.

"There are always exceptions, just like Miss Orpington." He changed the subject lightly, "How are you doing in London these days, when the weather clears up, I can recommend a few interesting places for you."

"Just call me Olivia." Olivia took a bite of the bread, and was immediately overwhelmed by its crispy and soft texture.

Alphard said kindly: "Okay, Olivia." Then he turned to Snape, "Doesn't this... little wizard need some?"

Snape had been sitting on the sidelines since he came in without saying a word, and he didn't even touch Coco. If he wasn't worried about Olivia and Lily coming over, he probably didn't even want to step through the door.

Olivia said, "His name is Snape. He has a toothache and can't eat. Don't worry about him."

Snape glared at her.

Alphard looked at him with concern: "Then I'll cook some oatmeal, it's more convenient to eat."

Snape reluctantly said, "Thank you, no need."

"How about some black tea? Or hot milk?"

"...Thank you, cocoa will do." Snape, who was so stubborn, also fell in love with this kindness and kindness.

In fact, he felt that Lily was about to come over and beat someone up if he kept showing off his face.

snort!Everyone forgets their friends!Snape glared again at Olivia, who had been looking at Alphard.

Olivia thinks Alphard is very interesting, and she hasn't found anything bad about him since she came into contact with him till now.

Good-looking, personable, gentle and considerate, and outstanding in craftsmanship, even for Snape, who was obviously not in a good mood, he did not show any doubts or impatience - but his surname was Black.

Still an outcast Black.

interesting.

"Mr. Black, do you do anything in the Muggle world? I mean work or something." Olivia asked curiously.

Alphard turned on the TV and showed them while answering: "It's not a formal job, but I work as a teaching assistant for professors at the university, and write articles for newspapers and magazines when I have nothing to do. I'm not in good health, it's just to pass the time. "

He gave Lily the remote control and asked them to adjust the show by themselves.

Olivia smiled innocently: "It sounds leisurely and decent."

According to him, it is impossible for him to buy such a house in Kensington in 100 years and live in such a relaxed and comfortable way.So, either the Black family is still financing his life, or he took a lot of assets with him when he left the family.

This is not like the so-called expulsion from the family.

"Hey, look at this, Doctor Who."

"I like to watch this too. I watch it with my parents when I'm at home." Lily said excitedly, "The doctor in this season is played by Jon Petwit. I still like the doctor in the last season. Look at it." It looks really cool."

"It was Patrick in the last season. He is indeed smart and heroic." Alphard answered the question, he seemed to be very familiar with this TV series, "His rebirth is so heroic, it is really sad."

"Yes, yes."

The two little girls immediately formed a united front with him and chatted enthusiastically about the plot.

What the hell is Doctor Who?Olivia, who was a little dazed, glanced at Snape who was also left out of the topic.The two of them are obviously not people who watch TV in their spare time, and they really can't get into this kind of circle of drama fans.

"Is he really a wizard?" Snape whispered in Olivia's ear, "It can't be a Squib."

Olivia pinched him, and squeezed out a voice from her lips with a smile: "When you are a guest in someone else's house, can you stop being so unrestrained?" Whether it is or not, it is too offensive to say such words okay?When will this guy grow up!

Snape felt that she was trying to defend him, so he snorted coldly.

Olivia had no choice but to explain: "I'm sure he graduated from Hogwarts."

If he was really a squib, he should have been expelled when he didn't receive the admission letter, and he still wants to live here comfortably?It's not that the Black family has no experience with squibs.

On this day, the four of them were eating, drinking, and heating at Alphard's house. After eating the lunch and dinner he cooked, even Snape, who had a prejudice against him, could hardly continue to raise his eyebrows at him. Leng Ye, had no choice but to say thank you awkwardly.

After Lily and Mary made up for the drama they missed because of going to school for a day, their favorability with Alphard continued to increase. By the time they returned, he had changed from the elder of his classmates to their friendly and kind big friend.

This made Olivia sigh, if the Black family had his communication skills, what would the Dark Lord need to control the wizarding world?It's easy to plant a flag and stand on your own.Even if there are many smart people, the Black family will not be wiped out in the end.

Speaking of which, what happened to Alphard Black?Olivia thought for a long time, but couldn't find any information about him.After all, as a passerby who reads the original and practices translation, all she can remember is the general main line and a few people related to the savior.

But since I don't have any impression, it means that he was kicked out of the family and didn't participate in the subsequent war, which is a good thing.

Seeing that she was absent-minded, Snape thought she was still reluctant to part with the guy who smiled as if the Son of God had come, so he couldn't help but mocked: "The brain is a good thing, even if you have a little bit, you will know that there is nothing to be courteous about. Steal."

Olivia looked at him innocently: "I am also very attentive to you."

Snape choked enough.

He was very angry: "So you think he is a good man?"

"It doesn't matter if there are good or bad people, it has nothing to do with us anyway."

Snape was taken aback by her nonchalant attitude.

Olivia explained: "The four of us little wizards have nothing to plot. We went back after the holiday. At most, let us get along with his nephew?"

Snape looked disgusted at the suggestion.

Olivia laughed: "So, sometimes you don't have to be too defensive. We are not so important that everyone wants to calculate. If someone treats us well, we will reciprocate the kindness. If someone treats us badly, we will retaliate with an eye. It is too hard to live if you are always holding a shield and stabbing vertically."

Snape disagreed with her statement: "It never hurts to be careful."

"Who said that it's as stupid as not taking money if someone treats you well. If you have to make everyone an enemy, it's the same as giving money to others. It's a serious illness."

"..."

Olivia patted Snape on the shoulder, and looked at her with a look of "you are too young": "Learn more from this big Blake, at least it will be easier to chase girls." One, Lily will not be abducted by James.

Snape rolled his eyes and knocked her hand away.

Early the next morning, the crazy doorbell woke up all four of them.

Olivia opened the door with the anger of getting up, and faced two bright smiling faces.

"Orpington, it's really you."

"What a coincidence, I didn't believe it when Al said it."

"Is Evans in there?"

"Are you still up?"

Olivia raised her foot, kicked them both out one by one, and then slammed the door.

"Ollie?" Lily stood on the stairs rubbing her eyes.

The voice softened immediately: "It's nothing, go to sleep again..."

The doorbell rang again.

Olivia had a hideous expression on her face.
