[HP] look at you

"Severus." Olivia spoke first, "My waist was almost broken by you."

Snape immediately let go of his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

I can't see his face clearly at night, but I think he must be blushing.

Olivia wanted to laugh, but held back, turned over and jumped off the horse, and just about to help Snape, saw him jump off by himself following suit.

Snape looked around, only to find that they had come to a wide river, and both sides of the river were covered with long reeds, the stems of which bent over their heads.If it weren't for the sound of rushing water, under the cover of reeds, it would be almost impossible to find that there is still a river inside.

Under the moonlight, the reed flowers are as white as snow.

The horse walked to the river and bowed its head to drink water, while Olivia and Snape walked slowly along the river bank.

"When I passed by here during the day, I wanted to take you to see it together." Olivia said with a smile, "You haven't seen so many such tall reeds before."

The corner of Snape's mouth curled up: "Yeah."

"Actually, it should look better in the evening, but now it's pitch black and I can't see clearly."

"Then come tomorrow."

"Isn't it too hot?"

Snape shot her a sideways glance.

Olivia tilted her head and smiled at him.

Without the sun, the heat on the ground gradually dissipates, and the night wind blows, and the temperature cools down.

The two walked forward slowly, Olivia glanced aside inadvertently, and stopped with a cry of surprise.

Snape followed her gaze, and found a few yellow shimmers floating from the reeds,

"firefly?"

"Yes." Olivia became interested, "By the way, this season is by the water again, so there should be a lot of fireflies."

As he spoke, he pushed aside the reeds and walked inside.

What's so strange about fireflies?Although it was difficult to understand her interest, Snape still took two quick steps and stepped in front of her to block the reed stalks for her.He also used fluorescent flashes on his hands to illuminate the path under her feet.

——He can use some simple wandless magic now.

Olivia followed behind him, feeling a sudden and subtle movement in her heart.

It was as if a pebble was gently thrown into the lake of her heart, creating tiny ripples.

Walking through the reeds to the water's edge, my eyes suddenly brightened.

Sure enough, countless fireflies were flying on the river and on both sides of the river bank.

Snape understood why Olivia was surprised.

The green light in front of him was continuous, like a thin layer of mist covering the water.The flickering light spots reflected in the water, as if connecting two mysterious and unknown worlds, hazy and illusory.

"It's so beautiful." Olivia exclaimed.

is very beautiful.

Snape knew that he did not have the talent for appreciating beauty, or in other words, before, he never knew that there were so many beautiful things in the world.

There is also a river near the Spider's End Lane. Because it is close to the factory, it has become a place for waste water discharge and garbage dumps. A few sparse reeds are lying on their stomachs. People passing by frown and hold their breath. Accidentally splashed with dirty water and cursed a few words.

Lily also complained that people in the community complained many times, but no one came to manage it, which made her have to detour to go to school.

As a result, his impression of the river and reeds has been stuck in the dirty and smelly.

If he hadn't seen this scene today, his impression shouldn't have changed.

Snape tilted his head.

Olivia was looking at the scene in front of her intently, and the flickering fluorescent light gave her a strange halo, as if her body was also emitting a faint light.

There was a contented smile on her face that he could often see on her face.

On the Astronomy Tower, no matter how many times she looked at the stars, she would appreciate and praise them from the bottom of her heart as if she was seeing them for the first time.

He also wondered why she was so perfunctory in astronomy class since she thought the starry sky was beautiful.

Olivia plausibly said: "When I looked up, I just wanted to say how beautiful it is, and I didn't want to know which one is Mars, which one is Venus, and what their positions represent-this will affect my appreciation. Feeling."

She always has so many goofy theories.

“Hopefully, when you need to use this knowledge, you can still maintain this pure appreciation.” He remembers being so ironic at the time.

"Isn't it because of you?" She smiled nonchalantly, "It's good that you know."

——Does she really think that they will always be together?

"why……"

"Ok?"

Olivia turned her head, and Snape realized that he had actually asked.

But he himself didn't know what he wanted to ask.

With his mind in a mess, he blurted out, "Why did you see this during the day...why do you want to bring me here?"

Olivia froze for a moment, seeing Snape's tense and apprehensive expression.

As for why... She hasn't thought about it yet.If it was said that taking Snape to the United States was to broaden his horizons and increase his knowledge, since when did she start, she seemed to be used to sharing every scene she found with him.

If she insisted on investigating the reason, it might be... She wanted to see his bright eyes and the corners of his mouth.

That would make the good mood she gets from the scenery even better.

After being out of focus for a while, Olivia slowly laughed.

"I asked you earlier what was a good experience for you, and your answer—"

——With you, every day.

The two looked at each other, and each could see the dots of fluorescence reflected in the other's black pupils.

Olivia smiled and said, "With such high expectations, I think we must work hard not to let you down."

Snape felt conflicted.

Happy emotions are like a river full of water, but at the same time, it seems that something is sinking down, empty and depressed.

not satisfied.

Olivia's words made him happy, but he greedily wanted more.

The secret desire in his heart summoned his self-restraint and ridicule.

Enough, you greedy poor man!

"Of course, there are my own reasons." Olivia said again.

"What?" Snape couldn't help his heart beat faster despite telling himself not to think too much.

"Well——" Olivia dragged her voice out.

Snape noticed that there seemed to be something unusual in her tone of voice, and there was an indescribable twist and turn in the soft ending that he had never felt before.

He was inexplicably hot.

However, when the conversation changed, Olivia asked abruptly, "Do you know why these fireflies are flashing?"

"..." Upon hearing her style of question, Snape couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Even if I said I didn't want to know, wouldn't you say so?"

Anyway, every time she gave the answer is basically to tease him.

After going through many routines, he can sum up experience.

Olivia smiled: "Mr. Snape, I will give you another chance now, please think carefully about how to answer."

With a chill behind his back, Snape, who realized that he was still pursuing him, immediately corrected his expression: "Why?"

Olivia began to answer with satisfaction: "Fireflies court by flashing lights. These flying ones are male fireflies that are courting females."

"That is to say——" Olivia looked at Snape, "every time they flash, they are saying——I like you, stay with me."

Snape froze.

Olivia chuckled, and turned her head away from looking at him.

His heartbeat quickened instantly, and Snape vaguely realized something from her smiling glance, but couldn't believe it.He wasn't sure whether her words were an ambiguous hint or just a casual joke, but his mouth was a little dry uncontrollably, and the acceleration of blood flow made the eardrums squeak.

"I..." There was a trembling sound as the voice came out, and some images flashed through Snape's mind quickly - the hand retracted underwater, the face in front of the fireplace jumping with flames... and - ——When the door was pushed open on the train, the face that turned around unexpectedly.

Snape took a deep, long breath: "I don't know if it's appropriate to express my feelings again at this time, and I'm sorry if it bothers you. But... Olivia, I like You. Excuse me, do I have the honor to be your lover?"

The banks of the river were very still.

Snape finished speaking in one breath, only feeling that the sound of his heartbeat was loud enough to drown out the sound of gurgling water.

This time.

He was so tense that he forgot to breathe.

——Will you still refuse?

"Before answering this question, let me finish the last one." Olivia turned around, faced the boy with an almost blank expression, and said with a smile, "Because I like it."

——Why did you take me?

"Because I like you, I want to see the same scenery with you, and I want to let you experience all the new, interesting, and beautiful things that I think."

Is it because you haven't breathed for too long?Snape felt a little dizzy, and the ground under his feet seemed to have turned into soft cotton, making him feel light.

"So the second question." She coughed lightly and said solemnly, "Mr. Snape, you can hold your girlfriend's hand now."

Snape looked at her dully for a moment, as if to make sure she was joking.After seeing her scratching her cheek uncomfortably, he suddenly opened his arms and hugged her.

Olivia was startled, and then laughed: "Hey! This is a foul!"

Snape hugged her tightly, buried his face in her shoulder, and said sullenly, "Then punish me, Miss Orpington, you always have the power."

"Really." Olivia laughed, and then put her arms around his back.

Looking at the fireflies surrounding her, she said softly, "I will teach you a lot in the future, Mr. Boyfriend."

The author has something to say:

It's over, sprinkle flowers~~~~

--------

I lied to you.

This chapter, really, stuck with me for three days. I have been deleting, deleting, modifying and modifying for the past three days. I almost vomit blood.

I don't want to write too nasty, I don't want to make it too casual, I don't want to collapse, but it's difficult to grasp, I feel tired and want to cry.

Pay homage to my withered girlish heart.

----------

Next, it is further dog abuse daily.

Thinking about it feels so cruel.
