[HP] This deer is not a deer

The field is still cold and windy, even if the weather has become a little clearer.

It was business as usual at Hogwarts.

A week later, whenever Snape met Harry in the hallway, he looked annoyed and glared at him with those angry green eyes.That look - it was hard to keep Snape from noticing.

But Snape would just give him a cold look, and quickly strode away from the corridor, even though Harry was closely following him.

…Harry's pursuit didn't end there, but he never did anything out of the ordinary, and Snape chose to completely ignore it.

Quietly, the rumors continued to expand quietly.

Snape started avoiding Harry's presence, but... even if Snape wasn't paying attention, Harry would still appear in his sight and try to take all his attention away, blocking his way out .

He began to no longer easily appear in places other than the cellar.

But even if Snape didn't want to, he would still overhear some private whispers, because for Snape, those damned whispers were nothing short of a clever cover-up.

"...Harry likes Snape, you see, he's looking at Snape."

"He's always looking at Snape, have you seen..."

"It does seem to be the case. He seems to want to talk to Snape in the corridor."

"It's said that Snape doesn't like him at all...and doesn't Harry like Hermione Granger? I don't think he likes Snape, it's a lie."

"Didn't you see he was staring at Snape all the time?"

……

As time passed, the rumors among the students did not reach the ears of the professors at Hogwarts.

Entering March, Hogwarts is still full of chaos.

Scattered students sitting in separate seats gathered in twos and threes, the smoking dry pot on the stove was still bubbling and bubbling, and occasionally some noisy muttering could be heard, Snape was constantly in the crowd Wandering around, there will always be some little mice in the classroom that keep making noises.

"As soon as he pulled me up from the lake, he invited me... He said, if I have nothing else to do during the summer vacation, would I be willing to—"

"What did you say?"

Snape turned his head to look at them, glanced coldly, and stared displeasedly at the trio making messy noises.

"And, he did say he'd never felt that way about anyone else..." Hermione Granger's voice was small.

Snape turned around and watched as Ron slammed the hammer down hard, making a small hole in the table, and he walked forward quietly from behind them.

"Oh, I just wanted to see if you and Harry were safe—" Hermione Granger was still muttering...

"—Miss Granger, despite your colorful social life," Snape said suddenly from behind them, his tone icy.

The three were startled at the same time, but Snape was unmoved, looking down at them and squinting, "But I must warn you, don't whisper in my class. Ten points from Gryffindor."

He glanced at Harry a few more times, then reached out and pulled out what Harry had hidden under the table—

"Heh...still hiding under the table and reading magazines?" Snape twisted his lips and grabbed the "Wizard Weekly".Harry's eyes made him uncomfortable, and Snape squinted at Harry and gripped the corner of the table uneasily.

"Harry Potter's Secret History of Sadness..." He glanced at the magazine slowly, read out a sentence, paused, and rolled his eyes at Harry, the corner of Snape's mouth curved even more weirdly. .

Harry blushed, and the surrounding Slytherins all chuckled.

Snape scanned it at a glance, and there were some news about Harry and the girl he liked, Hermione Granger...Of course, maybe he didn't like this one girl?There wasn't just one girl on the list.

"Oh, well...maybe you're writing something wrong again?" Snape opened his mouth with a sarcasm ten times worse than before, and he read the report above, "...next time he'll give the truth When the time comes, be sure to pick a more worthy candidate.”

The Slytherins laughed collectively.

"Perhaps, you have more romantic partners than I have heard about." Snape raised his eyebrows and said extremely viciously, "Hmph, I think it's best to separate the three of you, so that you can concentrate on making the potion, while Don't just think about these messy affairs. Weasley, you sit here and stay still. Miss Granger, you go up there and sit next to Miss Parkinson. Potter - to the one in front of my podium Go to the table. Now, let's do it."

Harry was exasperated, and said angrily, "Nothing like that! You—then you've heard everyone say I like you!"

"Of course it's not true," Snape said coldly, staring at him, "of course, if it's your private life - of course I don't care about it, maybe it's not true...but then What does it have to do with me? Now, let me go there immediately!"

"—I didn't say I liked you, it was a lie." Harry said, glaring up at him.

Snape's eyes darkened as he watched Harry, gloomy and terrifying.

At the same time, Harry's words made everyone who was watching them widen their eyes and prick up their ears at the same time, staring straight at him and Snape.

Snape cast a icy glance around and said sharply, "Keep doing your business!"

Everyone immediately shrank their heads and lowered their heads completely, but everyone's ears were straightened up.

This realization annoyed Snape, who quickly said to Harry, "Potter, this is how many times you've repeated something like this, huh? I think it's either the tenth or the eleventh, since you're willing to , then you need to pay for your stupidity, ten points from Gryffindor!"

Harry threw the ingredients and schoolbag into the cauldron, ignored Snape who was staring at him coldly, and walked towards the empty table at the front of the classroom with the cauldron in his hand.Snape followed, sitting at the edge of his podium, watching Harry take out the contents of the cauldron.Harry seemed determined not to look at Snape, and started pounding his scarabs, as if each one had Snape's face on it.

Gryffindor lion cubs were always so unpunishable, Snape never felt wrong in his decisions.This kind of punishment is commonplace for him, at least, it has always been like this.

Snape looked around blankly for a week, and his eyes finally settled on Harry.

The messy classroom finally quieted down again.

It wasn't until 10 minutes later that Harry became distracted and kept turning his head to look at Snape.

After a while, Snape suddenly raised his head and glanced around, seeing many heads that suddenly lowered.He got up from his seat by the podium and walked away without even looking at Harry.

Harry lowered his head, continuing to fiddle with his scarab a little dejectedly.

It's not the first time something like this has happened.

It's just that Snape never paid Harry any attention.

It wasn't even the first time everyone saw Harry staring at Snape in a daze.

Then, until Snape was thoroughly annoyed.

Whenever these things happened, everyone couldn't help but look up and look up, and even made many Slytherins look like hell.Even Gryffindor had to joke that it was a joy to hear and see, at least it was much more interesting than the boring and annoying Potions class-although, they couldn't understand what Harry was thinking?

Snape paced back and forth between the tables, and there was always someone behind him carefully peeking at him curiously, and then at Harry.

And Harry was looking at Snape too.

It seemed that since no one knew when, the Potions class had fallen into this kind of cycle strangely, and it kept making Snape annoyed and irritable.

In the eyes of everyone, Snape still had a stern, even harsh attitude.

But Harry liked him, and many people even firmly believed that Snape was avoiding Harry.Because there used to be wandering the corridors, looking for opportunities to deduct points, Snape never showed up again.They thought it was because Snape was always hiding in the cellar because he was afraid of Harry.

When Snape announced that the get out of class was dismissed, everyone in the classroom heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly left one after another.Only Harry was slowly packing his schoolbag as usual. Before he left, Ginny walked into the dungeon, and he seemed to have received a message from Dumbledore.

Snape heard them talking in the distance, and Dumbledore asked Harry to come to his office.

But it didn't have much to do with him, Snape looked away coldly, but he didn't come out of the basement classroom until Harry left.

Ten minutes later, he returned to his office.

Not long after, Dumbledore's head appeared on the burning fireplace, and the flames caused Dumbledore's beard to rise like drifting fireworks. He briskly said the message left behind to Snape, "Sey Forrest, you're back? Could you please come to the principal's office later? I have something to ask you."

As soon as the words were finished, the fireplace slammed lightly, and the silence was restored again. The burning red flame returned to normal, and continued to sway and cast shadows. Snape frowned, turned and walked out of the office.

The stone statue in the principal's room automatically jumped away, and he quickly walked up the spiral staircase, Snape heard someone talking inside, a familiar boy's voice, "Ah, ok, sorry, Professor, I've been a little bit lately Forgot... I thought it was all right?"

"It's getting better soon, but I still think it's better if you continue to drink some medicine, just to be on the safe side..."

Snape paused for a moment before pushing open the door, the conversation between Harry and Dumbledore stopped, they looked at him, Snape moved his lips, and said coldly, "It seems that I came too early point."

"No, it's all right, Severus," said Dumbledore, smiling, "I don't think you would mind Harry being here, either?"

"That's a pity, I don't feel the same way you do." Snape said with a twitch of his mouth, his eyes falling on Harry.Harry immediately grasped the bottle of lavender potion in his hand, and Snape stared intently, narrowing his eyes.

Harry lowered his hands a little, and deliberately covered the bottle with his hands, which made Snape stare at him even more eye-catching. Harry turned to Dumbledore and said, "Then I'll go first."

"Okay." Dumbledore nodded.

Snape squinted, watching Harry walk away from him all the way, Snape even turned his head unintentionally, watching Harry completely disappear from the door, and then he looked back and turned to Dumbledore.

"What's wrong with your savior?" Snape asked. "You don't seem to have asked me to make any potions for him."

"That's not a big deal. It's all right, Severus, you don't have to be nervous." Dumbledore waved his hand casually, looking at the door that closed as Harry left.

"I'm not nervous." Snape pursed his lips and said, "I don't see where the Savior needs to make me nervous, especially when he's being indulged by your indulgence, what can I say?"

"Really? You really don't worry about him?"

The room was quiet for a while, Snape lowered his head slightly, staring at Dumbledore with black eyes, which seemed a little strange.

"You really didn't?" Dumbledore asked repeatedly.

Snape's body stiffened slowly and unconsciously.

Dumbledore's eyes were burning, and those wise blue eyes seemed to be crystal clear.
