Start at Hogwarts

Chapter 11

Snape looked at the rough-wrapped box in his hand, it was a Christmas present from Rantu Hurley...

She was gone, and her footprints had not disappeared in the snow.Just now, when he saw him coming, Hurley, who was squatting there, his eyes lit up, and he came over and handed him a box.

"I gave you a New Year's gift. I wanted to give it to you yesterday, but you weren't here. I finally waited for you today. The gift is for you. I'm leaving first~" Hurley waved at him and walked away, then Snape knew she was waiting here yesterday.

Snape didn't stop her, he was lost in thought while looking at the gift in his hand.He also received gifts once, after becoming a master of potions.There are always some people who send things, and there are countless people who want to make friends with him... But, only this gift I got now...

Snape was in a complicated mood and didn't know what to say, and stood there for a long time without moving.Finally, he removed the outer layer of paper and opened the box.

Inside are some hard-to-find potion ingredients, which are rarely seen in other places except the deep forest full of beasts.But now, some of the materials in the box are dying, some of them are unusable due to improper treatment, and some are broken, and the efficacy of the medicine has been reduced a lot... A small part is not potion materials but some weeds. However, the appearance is very similar to some potion materials.

Snape silently closed the box.If it was in the past, if it was another person, he would definitely give that person a hard lesson, maybe he would scold him so much that he couldn't hold his head up, wasting so many good materials.However, Lantu Hurley...

Snape didn't think about why Hurley knew his home address, he just remembered that Hurley is now an orphan, living alone...

Put the box away, this gift, he accepted it.Snape suddenly smiled slightly, feeling relieved that he had figured out something.Lantu Hurley, if it was as a friend, he wouldn't mind putting her in the protection range. It would be nice to have a friend who doesn't intrigue and doesn't care what others say or think.However, he would be happier if she would not be so difficult...

Merlin let him be reborn, then this life will change, starting with accepting friends.In the previous life, among those forces that claimed to be righteous and degenerated into evil, he had no real friends who could make friends, and he had to think about it several times before he could say it. .Well, now is the time to watch out not only for your own safety, but also for the friends you approve of.A single-minded potion monster who loves to haunt him... that sounds ironic...

Snape looked at the sky, returned to the nursing home, and didn't tell his mother about going to Spider's End.In the next few days, in addition to going to Diagon Alley, he went to Spider's End Alley several times, because there were still some things that had not been brought out, and he was not going to live there any longer. When he had enough money, he would go to Buy a house in a quiet place and concentrate on making potions...

However, when he went to Spider's End that day, he found his father... dead body under the stairs...

Maybe he was drunk and fell down the stairs, maybe he got sick from drinking too much alcohol, maybe he died of starvation...

Looking at the corpse, Snape found that there was no sadness in his heart, only a touch of pity, and even some relief... The feelings for this man have long since disappeared in those dark childhoods that have been dusty and far away. Those disgusted eyes, the scolding and punching and kicking mixed with fear were all gone.He didn't feel it when he died in the previous life, and he won't feel it in this life.

So he calmly asked someone to move his body out, and buried it in a nearby cemetery with a relatively good environment.The funeral was simple, without any relatives present, and Snape didn't tell his mother, so it was just Snape, looking at that face that was buried deep in the earth.

After the simple funeral, Snape packed up the house in Spider's End, closed the door and left. Here, probably, he will never come back again.

After the winter vacation, the little wizards of Hogwarts returned to school one after another.On the train, Snape was still alone in a compartment.He seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on his lips.Until he inadvertently looked towards the carriage door and saw Hurley standing at the door.

The smile on Snape's lips twitched, recalling his reluctance and reluctance in this situation last semester, he felt a little sighed, and said, "Come in, don't stand there like a stupid troll." He was a little uncomfortable, his face was concealed dark, and his tone was not very good.

Lantu didn't care about these things, she didn't always judge Snape's mood by looking at his face, but relying on her intuition.

"Severus, are you happy?"

Snape was a little surprised to hear this question, but she noticed it. Was he so obvious?Indeed, he is in a very good mood today, not only because his mother has been in good health recently, but also because his mother sent him to the station today.Originally, considering his mental age, this was not a big deal, but since he was a child in his previous life, he longed for someone to take him on the train, just like those little wizards of the same age he saw at the station... It was considered round One of his childhood wishes...

"Yeah." Snape didn't refute, hummed in a low voice, and lowered his head to read the book.

"Severus, do you think you're a bit strange..." Lantu, who was sitting opposite Snape, scratched his short hair and said arbitrarily.She always felt that when she came back this time, Severus's attitude was much better, he didn't stop her from seeing him, and he didn't say a lot of thorny things to her, although she didn't care... But such Severus It makes her feel a little uncomfortable...

"Don't torture your poor thinking ability, Hurley, shut your mouth and do something meaningful, such as memorizing potion materials, I don't think you will spend a winter vacation without knowing words gone."

Snape noticed that he no longer called her Miss Hurley, but simply Hurley.But he didn't care, calling Miss... Hurley really didn't fit the name Miss.Snape pulled out an enlightenment potion material guide and a basic potion making book from his stack of books and threw them into Lantu's arms.

"Read it before you get to school." How could he, a potion master who has lived so many years, be easily stumped by such a little wizard... He didn't realize it last semester, and this semester begins...

Lan Tu, who was reading a book obediently, suddenly felt a cold wind blowing. He looked at the closed door and window in confusion, and then continued to read indifferently.Although she didn't quite understand what was in it, Severus said that he had to read it, so let's take a look, and if he could find more potion ingredients, maybe Severus would be happier.

Before getting out of the car, Snape handed Lantu a bag of things, "This is... a return gift for the New Year's gift. I don't know where you live and you can't send it with an owl, so I'll give it to you now." One step left and walked fast.

Lantu was a little stunned, Severus gave her a gift... She actually received a gift from someone other than Uncle Hurley, and it was from someone she liked very much... Gently opened the thin layer Wrapping paper, inside is a box of shiny candies, and the sweet breath rushes into the nose.She hasn't eaten candy for a long time. Uncle Hurley bought it for her on her birthday when she was a child. After he died, no one bought it for her. She lives alone away from the crowd. Uncle Hurley used to Because it is inconvenient to buy things, she rarely goes out on the street, and never thought of buying candy...

Before eating it, Lantu felt like crying.Once when she was a child, she was injured while hunting. Uncle Hurley said that she was a girl and she could cry. At that time, she didn't know why she cried and didn't want to cry, but now she wanted to cry, obviously there was no pain anywhere.

The students who came and went looked at the person squatting at the car door crying so miserably, could something have happened... People who knew her were also very surprised, it turned out that the boy-like He Erli will cry...

Lantu cried and cried while hugging the candy box, feeling that he was covered by a black shadow.Looking up, it was Severus who had already left.

"Damn, what are you doing!" Snape really felt that he couldn't understand this guy's thoughts at all, why were he crying, thinking that she would never cry, acting like a skinny little boy Seeing what the boy did, she cried as soon as she said it, and she was taken aback just now.

Rantu was led by Snape through the crowd.Although he was yelling at her, he pulled her very lightly.

Snape took the crying guy to a place where there were few people, and turned around trying to scare her to stop crying.However, when he turned around, he saw that Hurley had stopped crying a long time ago, and was happily eating a mouthful of candy.

"Do you want to eat Severus, it's delicious."

Severus covered his forehead, "That's enough, I shouldn't care about you..."

"Bah." Lantu looked at the candy box in his hand, and suddenly moved closer to Snape and kissed him on the face.

Snape froze all of a sudden, and slowly touched the sticky spot on his face...

"Lantu Hurley!!!"

The author has something to say: Professor, you are too naive, take a step back and step back...

Girls who despise progress too slowly... How about I just delete all the plots in the middle...

Let's see how old Lantu girl is now... I don't want to write something about 18 mouths, hey!But under the age of ah hey! (Actually, I didn't really want to write a word of mouth)

Let me say hello to you first, dear friends, you know that I like God's unfolding, and you know that the author is a beast...so...hehe...
