dumb wizard

June 6th is Xiu's birthday.

During this period of time, because he had put all his heart and soul into Snape, Xiu was completely unaware of the arrival of his birthday, until Harry and Draco delivered gifts to him, and Xiu didn't remember it.

Draco had the latest dress robes, Harry had a big bag of mail-order candy from Honeydukes, ice mice, sugar quills, sour lollipops, jelly slugs and licorice sticks, and Hermione had Have some tooth-healthy biscuits sent home, the little witch thinks it works.

Not many people knew about the birthday of the monks, so the gifts he received were limited to these three good friends.Xiu didn't care about this either. He had been trying to get Snape to promise him the summer vacation so that he would occasionally visit Spider's End to bother him.

After class in the afternoon, Xiu went to the kitchen to make dinner as usual, and asked the house-elf to send it to the cellar at an appropriate time, and then happily went to Snape to "ask questions" with the tome in hand.

After entering the cellar door, Snape was not in the office, Hugh guessed he was in the laboratory or the bedroom.An An settled down on the exclusive small sofa, put the tome on the table, spread it out to the page where there was something he didn't understand, and waited for Snape to come out and give him an answer.

After a while, Snape came out of the bedroom with half-damp hair, apparently just out of the bathroom.

Xiu turned his head to look at him, eyes unconsciously revealing fascination.The closer you get to this man, the more you can't take your eyes off him, you can only sink deeper.

Under Xiu's care these days, Snape's hair had long since gotten rid of its greasy state, his pale and sallow face had turned into a slightly rosy white, and his cheeks were no longer deeply sunken.Now Snape is not only not like the greasy and scary big bat that the little wizards said, but more like a handsome, resolute and personable gentleman.Assuming, of course, that he doesn't spray the venom.

Snape was in a good mood for the admiration in his eyes, and his cold black eyes softened, "Mr. White, put away your books and come with me."

Xiu was a little puzzled, but he still stood up and followed him out of the cellar.

Snape's stride was very big. Although Xiu had drawn a lot over the past year, it was still far behind him. It was almost a trot to keep up with him.

Fortunately, Snape soon realized his predicament, slowed down, held his cool hand when he was beside him, and then picked up his pace again.On the one hand, Xiu's heart beat faster because of the tightly held hands between the two, and on the other hand, he wanted to keep up with his steps, his little face was flushed with pink.

Naturally, Snape did it on purpose. In order to keep up with him, Xiu unconsciously pulled his hands even tighter.Now they haven't made it clear to each other, it's not good to be too close, and it's good to have some benefits once in a while.

Fortunately, all the teachers and students were having dinner in the auditorium at this time, otherwise people would have watched this scene and thought that the Snake King of Slytherin was going to abduct the little prince Ravenclaw!

Where is the professor taking him?

As Xiu thought, he took a big step and tugged at Snape's sleeve with his right hand.

Snape looked down at him, "Don't ask, we'll be there soon."

This was when they left the Hogwarts castle and walked along a path. Xiu was an otaku to a certain extent, and of course he didn't know where this path led.

Before reaching the end of the road, Snape led Xiu to turn to the right.There was no road here, Snape used a spell to open the way ahead, and Xiu staggered behind, his eyes always looking at the slightly thin but tall figure of the black-clothed wizard in front of him.

I really hope this road doesn't end.

No past, no future, no Dumbledore, no Dark Lord, no Lily Potter and Harry Potter, just the two of them, walking together.

Finally, Snape stopped, Xiu took his hand and walked out from behind him, looking up at the scene in front of him.

Is this—the Forbidden Forest?

Hugh looked at Snape in bewilderment, with doubts in his eyes.What did the professor bring him to the Forbidden Forest?You must know that Snape had warned him several times not to be as curious as a Gryffindor, and places like the Forbidden Forest were strictly forbidden for him to come.

"This is another entrance to the Forbidden Forest," Snape explained. "Follow me."

They walked into the forest where the branches intersected and covered the sky. The sun had not completely disappeared at this time in June, and it was not very dark in the Forbidden Forest.

Not far away, Snape stopped.

Xiu was amazed by the beautiful scenery in front of him!

The rays of the setting sun flowed down like water, and the surrounding trees seemed to be restrained by something. They did not cross the thunder pool half a step, but formed a circle. There was a crescent-shaped small lake in the center of the huge lawn, and the lake was full of flowers. A small purple-blue flower.

Xiu's unabashed joy obviously pleased Snape, and the hard lines on his face softened a lot.

He found this place by accident while looking for medicinal materials in the Forbidden Forest, and this was the first time he brought people here.But this is not his main purpose.

A slight movement reached Snape's ears.

coming!

Snape pulled Xiu who hadn't recovered from the beautiful scenery into his arms, and hid behind a big tree.Xiu was a little puzzled, but still obediently leaned on his chest and didn't dare to move.

Snape lowered his head slightly, breathing warm breath on Xiu's fair neck.Xiu pinched Snape's skirt in his hand helplessly, a blush spread from the base of his ears, and soon all the skin not covered by the school robe was stained with an attractive crimson color.Snape's lacquer-like black eyes suddenly darkened - looking at the little guy like this, he must be all red, right?

After a while, several small animals with snow-white fur, the size of rabbits, pointed ears, sharp mouths, black eyes, and a big fluffy tail ran out from the opposite woods, drinking and playing around the crescent-shaped lake. .

so cute!

Xiu's eyes lit up immediately, and he tried to lean out from Snape's arms, trying to see more clearly.

You must know that apart from Snape, the last thing Xiu can refuse is this kind of fluffy animal!

Snape whispered in his ear, "Want?" The scorching breath made Xiu's ears even redder, almost bleeding.

Xiu struggled slightly, turned his head, and looked at Snape unblinkingly with amber cat eyes, and wrote clearly: Cute, I want it!

Snape just wanted to see Xiu's expression so he didn't take the animal back directly, but brought him here.

Suppressing the desire to kiss that slightly puffed pink lips, Snape struggled to look away, a soundless and stickless petrification petrified the cutest and daintiest of the few snow-white animals by the lake. That one stayed in place, and the other small animals were frightened, and several of them flew away and disappeared.

After the two walked out of the tree, the petrified little animal's dark eyes showed panic, but it was unable to move.

Xiu squatted down and picked up the poor little thing, only then did he recognize the little thing as a rare snow raccoon.

Snow raccoons are unique animals in the wizarding world, but they are not magical creatures, they just have snow-white fur that can be made into high-quality winter fur.However, snow raccoons are rare, and the price of a snow raccoon scarf on the market is very high.

Xiu remembered that he saw the introduction of the snowy fox when he read "The Encyclopedia of Magical Animals" half a month ago. The snowy licking the little paws in the picture made him very fond of it. That page of introduction alone was enough I watched it for two days.

But how did Professor Snape know that he wanted Snowy? "

Xiu stroked the petrified little Xueli's stiff head, and turned his head to look at the tall man in black robe beside him.

Snape turned his head uncomfortably.He couldn't say that it was because he had been staring at Snowy's introduction, knew that he liked it, and remembered that he had seen Snowy here before, so he thought of using this as his birthday present, right?

You can't expect an awkward Slytherin, and a Slytherin's head, to put it that bluntly, can you?That's even more impossible than Merlin's successful counterattack against King Arthur!

Even if Snape didn't say it, Hugh would have guessed it.Regardless of still holding a snow raccoon in his hand, Xiu threw himself into Snape's arms, put one free arm around his thin waist, and rubbed his small face against his chest.

I am so happy!Thank you, Professor!

Xiu said in his heart.He felt that his eye sockets were astringent and his nose was sore.Oops, he seems to be getting a little crybaby, which is not good.

Snape patted his thin back awkwardly, then frowned quickly.Did this little guy eat well? How did he become so thin?Fortunately, he always said that he was thin, had a high fighting spirit, and tried every means to fatten him up.

After a while, Xiu's emotions calmed down, and he withdrew from Snape's embrace with some embarrassment.The sudden loss of temperature in his arms made Snape a little dissatisfied, but he didn't show the slightest bit.

Xiu lifted the petrification curse on Snow Fox, and the little thing immediately bared its fangs, biting fiercely at Xiu Baibai's neck.As soon as Shutou avoided it, Snape threw another petrifying curse, and the snow raccoon immediately stopped moving.

damn it!Who said that snow raccoons are gentle by nature and never hurt others? !

Snape cursed viciously in his heart.If he knew that the snow raccoon was so fierce, how could he let Xiu touch it!At least it must be domesticated until it dare not even resist before giving it to the little guy.

In fact, the professor completely misunderstood the snow raccoon friend.Snow raccoons are docile by nature, but no matter how docile an animal is, they will attack if caught suddenly. Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry!

"Are you injured?" Snape threw the petrified thing to the ground, nervously inspecting Xiu's condition.Xiu was forced to lift his chin, exposing half of his slender neck. This posture made him a little embarrassed.

Snape didn't have any thoughts now, thinking that Xiu might be injured because of his negligence, his whole body felt as if he had been thrown into an ice cellar, and he felt chills from the bottom of his heart.

Fortunately, Xiu was not injured, Snape heaved a sigh of relief, and only then noticed that the postures of the two were really ambiguous.

His hand was still pinching Xiu's sharp chin, Xiu raised his face, his cheeks were flushed, and he looked at him with big amber cat eyes, which seemed rather pitiful.And because of his height, he looked at Xiu condescendingly, as long as he lowered his head a little——

"Cough!" Snape quickly let go, took a step back, the roots of his ears hidden behind his black hair were unusually red.

Xiu was a little disappointed, perhaps because of Snape's recent intimate behavior, he had undue extravagant expectations.Xiu secretly despised himself for becoming so greedy, leaned over and hugged the little snow fox who had been petrified again and had tears in his eyes because he was rudely thrown to the ground.

Snape frowned, "This snow raccoon is too difficult to tame, so I don't want it." He had to send another gift.

Xiu shook his head, lovingly stroking the little Snow Fox with his palm.Xiu knew that Snow Fox was indeed very docile, as long as he showed enough kindness, he would no longer be rejected.Moreover, this was a birthday present from Professor Snape, how could he not want it?

He was very happy that Snape remembered his birthday and had taken the trouble to surprise him with such a surprise, but knew that wasn't an excuse for being greedy.

Professor Snape has been good enough to him during this time, if he asks for more, I'm afraid even these will be lost.

Seeing that Xiu was smiling happily, Snape frowned with a clear look on his brows.

What is this little guy thinking about?

Snape has also noticed that Xiu looks gentle and calm on the surface (of course this is when he is not facing him), but he still has inferiority complex in his heart, and his contentment is based on not believing in himself .Obviously, in the face of the fact that he likes Snape, his inferiority complex started to work again.

He tried his best to be nice to him, but never showed his feelings. When he was alienated, he didn't even dare to ask the reason, and left silently.Be prepared to be chased away by him at any time - until now there is not a single bit of his personal belongings in the cellar.

It's really - it makes him feel bad.

Xiu Xiu used the action of stroking the little snow fox to cover up his sadness, and suddenly fell into a warm embrace that made him nostalgic.He looked up in astonishment, and met the pair of obsidian eyes that he was most obsessed with...
