[HP] look at you

The body was very hot, the blood seemed to be boiling and squeezed the heart, and the bones seemed to be melted by the temperature of the blood, and slowly began to twist.

Olivia felt like her skin was being pricked by thousands of needles, but she didn't feel the pain, because she put all her mind on controlling the changes in her body, and when every part was shifting, she concentrated on Concentration becomes quite difficult.

She could feel the muscles in her arms contracting, the bones in her feet thinning, her shoulders and chest seeming to melt into one.After a while, a burst of coolness gently brushed over her body, and she slowly relaxed her mind, allowing her body to gradually return to normal temperature.

Lying on the carpet to calm down her shortness of breath, Olivia opened her eyes and sat up, taking the hot towel handed by Snape to wipe off the sweat on her face.

Spreading her hands and looking at her red skin, she looked up at Snape: "Why did you cast the Cooling Curse on me so early?"

"I just don't want to boil your teething potion later." Snape turned sideways, not looking at her distressed state.

Olivia moved her mouth, and she really felt that her teeth were a little soft.The transformation process was too painful, she always had to clenched her teeth tightly to keep herself from screaming.

She stood up and tidied up her messy hair and clothes: "How about this time?"

"There are more transformations than last time. According to this progress, all transformations should be completed in two months."

"Hey, Animagus is so difficult."

Snape rolled his eyes at her complaint: "As far as I know, Animagus will take two or three years at the fastest, and even most of them will fail. You started practicing last year, and you still have to do it now." Less than a year."

He also started practicing some time ago, but the current progress is just a slight change in the skin.

Olivia thought for a while: "I think this has something to do with my habit of meditation since I was a child. When I control my mind and body, it is always easy for me to enter the state. You can also try to practice meditation every night before going to bed , which is very helpful in all aspects.”

Snape raised his eyebrows in acceptance of the suggestion, and handed her the Restorative Potion.

"Thank you." Olivia took it and drank it down.

Sweet and sour, it is still her favorite orange flavor.

Feeling the comfort of being soaked in warm water, she squinted her eyes and asked, "By the way, what did Professor Slughorn want you to do today?"

Snape habitually washed and put away the empty bottle, and said casually, "He invited me to his party at that slug club."

Olivia nodded in understanding.

Compared with his potion level, Slughorn's best ability should be his ability to discover talents and accumulate contacts.Fame, talent, family background, as long as a person has one of the three, he can make himself and that person have friendship.Thanks to the fact that he just enjoys the vanity feeling of detached status and is timid and cautious by nature, otherwise Voldemort really can't compare with him in forming cliques.

Slughorn is the only one who can get along with both the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix.

After being promoted to the second grade, Snape's talent in potions became more and more prominent. Basically, the potions in the textbooks could only be used for him to practice. He studied hard and performed well in other subjects as well. After leaving Prince's house, of course Slughorn will not forget to throw an olive branch to him.

"Then do you agree?"

"Why not?" Snape couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

Although there are many people in the Slug Club who have no family background and no ability, but there are also many talented people. At the club gatherings, everyone often exchanges their own experiences and experiences, and they can learn things for free. Why not do it?

Olivia scratched her cheek: "Should I go and have a look too? But what should I do if I rejected him in the first grade?" She was so busy at that time that she didn't have enough time to sleep, so she didn't have time to chat with them .

"I promise, when you go directly there, he will definitely say, 'Orpington, I've been waiting for so long, you finally gave my professor some face to participate', of course, the tone should be more cheerful and warm." Snape imitated it perfectly.

Olivia laughed out loud.

Back in the dormitory, Olivia found that Carrie was still awake, sitting on the bed with her clothes on and reading a book, with dense notes on her knees.

After getting along during this time, Olivia also knew that she studied very seriously, and seemed to like studying on the bed rather than at the desk.

"I brought some sandwiches back, do you want some?" Olivia asked.

Recently, she has consumed too much physical energy, and she is in the puberty period, so she always prepares some food by her side to prevent her from being hungry.

Carey put down the book very readily: "Okay, thank you."

At this point, as long as one is awake, the stomach must be empty.

Putting the sandwich on the table, Olivia took off her coat and put on slippers, went to the bathroom to wash her hands and wipe her face.

Although she said she didn't use this bathroom, Kerry didn't put many things in it, and everything was neatly arranged.

When she came out, Kerry was sitting in front of the small table in her pajamas, holding a wand to boil water and make tea.

It can be seen from the control of the flame that she has mastered the spell very well.

"There is no class tomorrow morning, so you can sleep in." Kerry found a suitable topic.

Olivia sat down opposite her: "You wake up very early, and I've never seen you sleep in late." Even on weekends.She would get up early to endorse books. What is more special is that she seldom goes to the library. Even if she does, she borrows books and reads them in bed.

She felt that this girl's love for the bed was like a fish's love for water.

"If it's early, I'm not as good as you." When Kerry got up several times, Olivia came back from the door. If she didn't remember that this roommate did come back to sleep the night before, she would have thought that she I didn't return all night.

"I have the habit of running and exercising in the morning, so I will go early." Occasionally, she will be lazy when she sleeps too late.

When the water boiled, Olivia stopped Kai Rui, picked up the teapot and poured water into the cups of the two, and the aroma of black tea rose immediately.

The two picked up the sandwich and looked at each other.

"Cheers." Olivia held up the sandwich.

Kerry hesitated for a moment, moved his sandwich up and touched it lightly: "Cheers."

The two laughed together.

Olivia has always paid attention to physical exercise. When she was taking the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, she found that most little wizards practiced like playing a turn-based RPG. You put a skill, I interrupt or Block it, and then I'll do it.

Move, move, understand?The operation is so poor that you can't even get silver!No one wants to form a team even if they shout black.

In reality, the operation cannot rely on the mouse, but only on physical fitness and reaction speed, which cannot be improved at all without special training.

So after the start of this semester, Olivia started pulling Snape to get up early and run with her.Just after a summer of extreme sports, his physical fitness has improved a lot. After two days of adaptation, the two of them reached an agreement.

The morning air at Hogwarts was particularly fresh, and the two ran back and forth around the hillside before walking back to the castle slowly with the wind blowing.

The faint mist has not completely dissipated, and the castle with the morning light in the distance is looming on the top of the mountain. Although I have been here for a year, I still feel as beautiful and mysterious as a scene in a fairy tale.

On the way, they also met Professor Sprout, a professor of herbal medicine who often collects the feces of moon-crazed beasts before sunrise, and then spreads them on the medicine beds and flower beds in the greenhouse to provide nutrients for the herbs.Sometimes Madam Pomfrey was with her, and the two gentle and kind ladies were obviously good friends.

When there is no class in the morning, they will also help Professor Sprout, clean up the weeds, change the flower pots and so on. For this reason, Professor Sprout often finds opportunities for the two of them during herbal medicine class For extra points, Snape would be allowed to take some less expensive herbs and go back to practice potions.

Therefore, it is necessary to have a good relationship with the professor.

"Professor Sinistra should reserve his opinion on that, I think," Snape said.

"Who?"

"...Nothing, just pretend I didn't say anything."

At the entrance of the hall they met Regulus who was walking out.

"Senior Snape, Miss Orpington." He looked a little surprised, but he still greeted politely, "Good morning."

"Good morning."

Olivia glanced at the envelope in his hand: "Go to the Owl Tower to send a letter?"

"Yes, take a walk by the way." He had a soft voice and a respectful attitude. When he spoke, he smiled a little shyly, as if he was a little nervous when facing senior seniors.

"Be careful, owls have a bad temper in the morning, and there will be a lot of owls waiting to deliver letters in the tower in the morning, and some of them have not been well trained."

"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Orpington, I will be careful."

Seeing the back of Regulus leaving, Olivia couldn't help sighing: "The Black family is really a magical family."

Some elope for love, some work for idols, some hide behind Muggles, some pursue freedom and rebel against their families, some are so proud that they take their chins down to look at others, and some are polite and gentle.I feel that the Black family alone can make an [-]-episode family ethics drama without water injection.

"You seem to care about him." Others may not be able to see it, but Snape could feel that when she spoke to this Black, her tone was obviously different from that of ordinary people, and her attitude was much more friendly.

Olivia did not deny it: "He is a good person, don't you think?"

"If compared with his brother." Snape said coldly.

Olivia couldn't help laughing: "If you want to compare like this, most people are probably quite cute in your eyes."

Snape snorted slightly.

When I entered the door, I saw that Mr. Filch was wiping the teacher's long table with a rag. This kind of work is usually done by house elves. They will clean up the table after every meal. Wipe as necessary.

And this kind of thing can be solved with a cleansing spell, watching him bend over and wipe seriously, it's hard not to make people feel that he is doing too much.

"Good morning, Mr. Filch."

Filch glanced at them out of the corner of his eye, and responded lukewarmly: "Don't bring in the dirt from outside, look at the corners of your robes, it's full of water." He lowered his voice, and muttered vaguely again A few words, I also know that it will not be a friendly word.

It's hard to imagine that a young man in his 20s can be as mean and annoying as a weird and gloomy old man. He flatters every professor and hates every student at the same time. Whenever he seizes the opportunity, he will punish them with labor service. If the professor didn't stop him, he would I can't wait for the students who were punished to prune the branches of the Whomping Willow.

Less than two months after he came to Hogwarts, he became the person most hated by the students in the school—the previous No.1 was a professor in a Defense Against the Dark Arts class. He is very happy when the students lose face.

Olivia was thankful that they had never been caught by him during night tours, otherwise they would have been watched by him hauntingly every day, just like James and Sirius, waiting to catch pigtails.

After they spread the news that Filch was a squib two days ago, the atmosphere between the two sides became more tense. The way Filch looked at them made people think that if he knew magic, it would not be surprising to cast a death curse on them.

When Lily told Olivia about this, her expression was very conflicted, as if she didn't know whether to appreciate or condemn James and his actions.

"The unpleasantness of Mr. Filch lies in his character, not in his physical defects." Olivia does not object to them going to war with Filch, but she disagrees with the way they chose, " It's inappropriate for them to fight back like this to make other people hate Squibs."

Lily agrees.

There was Potions class in the afternoon, and the two academies who didn't like each other got together again.

After entering the second grade, the combat abilities of both sides have been upgraded. In order to prevent bloodshed in the classroom, Slughorn asked the students not to make any noise except answering questions. Everyone must stay in their own position , cannot make large movements.

He scanned the class vigilantly with protruding eyes: "If your wand dares to use any spells other than brewing potions, I will deduct [-] points from him and serve for a semester of labor."

Slughorn was seldom so vocal, always careful not to offend anyone.

Mary: I heard that a girl from our house cast a jinx on your Slytherin students in sixth grade yesterday.

Mary: Luckily it was only on the face and almost hurt my eyes!

Seeing the words on SOME, Olivia and Snape glanced at each other.They went to the Room of Requirement after class yesterday and returned late at night, so they haven't heard about it yet.

Olivia remembered the resentful expression on the Gryffindor girl she saw at the beginning of school.

Olivia: What punishment did she get?

Mary: One term of confinement.

That is to say, you have to stay in the confinement room when you are not in class, which is equivalent to going to jail, which is a very severe punishment for students.

Olivia: Who was hurt?

Mary: It seems the surname is Parkinson.

Olivia: Then I'm relieved.

He has a face that deserves to be punched.

Snape gave her a wordless look.

Lily: Forget it Olly, Mary, you are not allowed to chat in class, or I will put away your SOME.

Olivia: Why do I forget it? ? ?

Lily: Anyway, you can't attend class even if you don't chat.

Mary: And if I don't talk to you, you have no one to talk to.

Olivia: ...

She flipped through her SOME, except for the three of them, there were only three pages, one page of Elton, one page of Dumbledore, and one page of Donan.

She finally realized the poverty of her own relationships.

Without hesitation to rule out Dumbledore and Donan, Olivia knocked on Elton in order to prove that she still had someone to chat with.

Olivia: Have you eaten?

Elton: Hello, I'm busy now, please leave a message if you have anything to do.

Olivia: ...

Life is lonely.

She could only look sideways at Snape.

He listened carefully to Slughorn's explanation of the swelling potion. Although he had already mastered this simple potion very proficiently, he was still unwilling to let go of the professor's demonstration of each step.

He is not learning how to make this potion, but digging out the experience and techniques of this potion master, constantly comparing, thinking and researching.

The sharp-edged mandible has tight lines, and there is a small bulge between the brow bone and the nasal bone. When the tip of the nose is slightly hooked inward, it draws a fierce arc.His lips were thinly drawn into a straight line of indifference, as if he could spit out harsh words at any time.

Olivia couldn't help laughing when she saw it.

Being able to grow such a vicious face, I feel sorry for this face if I am not a bad person.

But it turns out that a serious man is attractive. Well, let's just say it's a boy. Even a boy, when he focuses on one thing, his expression is pleasing to the eye.

Professor Slughorn on the stage had already looked over with a smile several times, and Snape could no longer pretend not to feel it. He glanced at Olivia, who was staring at him with his chin resting, from the corner of his eye. He warned in a low voice without moving: "If you don't want to be called by the professor, quickly retract your dull gaze."

Olivia didn't move: "I'd rather see you than a fat, bald guy with protruding eyes."

A blush appeared on Snape's face, he turned his face and gave her a quick look: "If you're really bored, grind the dried nettles and puffer fish eyes, you'll need them when you make potions."

After looking at the eyeballs in the glass bottle, Olivia decisively looked away: "I only grind dry nettles."

Snape found something: "Are you afraid of this?"

"It's not that I'm afraid." Olivia argued, "Don't you think it's very creepy to have a bunch of eyeballs staring at you?" She has intensive phobia, okay?

"Oh." Snape raised the corner of his lower lip inexplicably.

Olivia wanted to say something more, but Slughorn coughed in disbelief: "As I said, no conversation is allowed except to answer questions."

He was very eccentric and didn't call the name, and Olivia couldn't be too unscrupulous, so she kicked him secretly from the bottom unwillingly, and then honestly lowered her head to cut the nettles.

Snape held back his laughter, coughed muffled, and continued to concentrate on listening.

The author has something to say:

In addition to what a few witty detectives said in the comments yesterday, there is another stalk, adapted from "Love Letter"
