Professor hp snape wants me to drop out
Chapter 25 Fly to the Sky
The next day, news of Mrs. Norris' tragic petrification spread to every corner of the castle.
The students were excitedly discussing the blood on the wall, Filch's wailing, and the unlucky Harry Potter trio.Some young wizards, such as Neville Longbottom, were not interested in this kind of conversation, but most of them didn't take it seriously: Mrs. Norris was not likable anyway, and she was not dead.
This is a rare new thing in Hogwarts!
The little wizards generally felt that these eight achievements were a prank.After all, what evil monster in a chamber of secrets would be interested in a cat?
The Weasley twins were known to have a bad relationship with Filch, making them the number one suspect for the students.
"Hey, Weasleys, the plasma is so realistic!" During dinner, another senior Gryffindor came over to talk to the brothers.This is the sixth of today!
Fred and George stared at Percy's death stare: "It's really not us this time!"
"Why don't you suspect that Serra did it?"
"Oh!" said the brown-haired senior with wide-eyed eyes. "Don't be kidding me! Sierra will just kill that cat!"
——This is the difference between the equally troublesome Sierra and the twins in the eyes of the students: the red hair of the Weasleys makes them look sunny, even if they often deduct points from the house, but they bring laughter to everyone , everyone loves them; yet Sierra's spooky black hair and purple eyes - and of course, the creepy smile she wears all the time - make her pranks look like they really want you life.
Although the three parties did not have the above consciousness.
"Ding——" "Quiet!" Dumbledore on the teacher's seat suddenly knocked on the cup.After all the students returned to their seats and sat down, he spoke again: "Today I have something to announce."
"I bet it's about the Chamber of Secrets," said Ron, leaning into Harry's ear. "If only you'd called me in last night. I'd like to see what the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets looks like too. How cool!"
Hermione glanced at Ron unhappily, and he immediately sat up straight.
"First of all, about the petrification of Mrs. Norris yesterday." There was a commotion among the students immediately, and Dumbledore had to raise his voice, "I believe many of you already know that the blood writing on the wall I mentioned the Chamber of Secrets. What I want to say is that this is not a prank." Dumbledore looked serious, "The Chamber of Secrets exists, and there are indeed monsters in the Chamber of Secrets."
The voice fell, and the auditorium was silent.The students stared wide-eyed, looking at their principal in bewilderment.
"You may have noticed that Professor Lockhart did not appear in class today."
Some of the fourth year students nodded involuntarily - today was Snape's Defense Against the Dark Arts class. "Could it be that Professor Lockhart has died?" A Hufflepuff girl clutched her chest in disbelief, looking like she was about to cry.
"I have to inform you with deep sorrow—yes, Professor Lockhart was unfortunately attacked by monsters in the Chamber of Secrets, and his physical condition is not optimistic now. According to his own wishes, he will not stay among us any longer."
The girls immediately burst into wailing. "Hermione, don't do this!" Ron looked at Hermione in disbelief that his eyes were tearing up just because of this, "He's fine! You listen to the headmaster's words 'according to his own wishes' - I think Lohar Te just ran away again!"
"—At the same time, we all want to thank the brave and wise Miss Sierra Green. She solved the monster in the secret room and rescued Professor Lockhart. You don't have to worry about this matter anymore. For this reason, I want to Add [-] points to Ravenclaw." Dumbledore said nonchalantly: "The new professor is coming, and you will see him after Halloween. During this period, Professor Snape will take over the class temporarily. Alright, let's eat Come on, students."
The students reacted to the news for a while.
What?
A student who solved a monster that even the professor couldn't?
"Hey!" The Weasley brothers were the first to react, and they shouted: "Principal Dumbledore! Why don't you just hire Sierra as our new professor!" The crowd burst into cheers, although this time The crisis was resolved before everyone knew it, but that didn't stop them from booing with the Weasley twins - how cool!Sierra saves the professor!
The little wizards were all applauding - especially the boys, after all, they could finally say with pride and confidence that Lockhart was an idiot!
Even the Slytherins were being applauded by Draco Malfoy - the kid was still giggling, he hadn't realized it meant his daddy had completely screwed up the Dark Lord's mission.
Recently, he learned magic from Sera and felt that he was much better.Under Selah's coercion and lure, Draco inexplicably forgot all the cruelty she had done before (although Selah is still very fierce to him now), in short, he formed a strange admiration for her.
Even now he felt honored, noticing that the eyeballs of his rivals far away in Gryffindor were about to pop out, and Draco responded with a provocative smile - Sera and I were related better!You are not envious!Ha ha!
"Why is Malfoy smiling like an idiot?" Harry was stunned, this guy really didn't know that it was Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, right? !
"He's never been very smart." Ron was even amused by Draco, "I suspect he's been beaten up by Serra a lot, and now he's mentally—a bit abnormal." He pointed to his head as a signal.
"Stockholm Syndrome," said Hermione pityingly. "I look like it too. But it's good, I don't think he's as annoying as the first year."
Harry nodded absently.
In fact, he suddenly and strangely understood why Draco was so excited - because Sera was paying special attention to him!She has been beating Draco more and more recently, often Draco will be sanctioned at night if he speaks cheap during the day, and the most serious time she shaved Draco's bald head in public (it changed back to him the next day) ) - Harry didn't even know where Selah got the time to stare at him every day!
——But last night, when he went to help Sera, she didn't say a word to him.
Sister Legend's attention is not on me!Harry was subtly jealous.He stared intently at somewhere in the void, a little competitive flame burning in his heart.Why didn't Sierra pay attention to him?Of course Harry wouldn't go the route of Malfoy's stupidity to attract attention, so - he must be not good enough!If he was as brave as she was, if he had been the one who chopped off the monster, why would Serra even look at Malfoy!
Just when Harry made up his mind to emulate Serra and make his blood boil, Dumbledore seemed to smile at the guest table, and then he pretended to be serious and said: "Unfortunately, Mr. Weasley, But as Miss Green is still a student - I cannot employ her for the time being."
"However, in order to reward Miss Green for her powerful magic and chivalrous actions, and to encourage all Hogwarts students to improve their magical abilities, I authorize her to host a duel club—" Dumbledore raised his hand to signal the students to look at La The Winclaw table.
This is the first time Serra has received attention in front of the crowd for reasons other than making trouble. Under the gaze of more than 300 people, Serra felt a little uncomfortable. She squeezed the palms of her hands quietly, stood up and bowed to the students. bowed.
The little wizards exclaimed again—Hogwarts has finally started to hold exciting competitive activities other than Quidditch!
In their hearts, Sierra's image was suddenly elevated!
Here's Dumbledore's suggestion: hold a dueling club.
Originally, Dumbledore also suggested that she raised her arms in public and shouted, "Let's fight legally!"
... Sera found herself unable to do it.
Sera asked him, did he want to take the opportunity to train little Harry and the others? ——Dumbledore has already told her about the prophecy between Harry and Voldemort that "only one can live", which made Sera a little bit tangled in whether she should let nature take its course in the first place—in that case, it should be Xiaoha who solved the basilisk Lee them - but Dumbledore denied it.
"Sierra, I'm worried about you," he said. "You don't seem to have the ability to get along with people. I want to remind you that you are different now. Of course, it does not mean that you have to Lovely - just I hope you stop being afraid of them."
Dumbledore believed that, in a way, Serra and Snape were similar.Most people would expect to be popular with the public, but Snape would rather most people misunderstand him and hate him, because he felt guilty.Selah also prefers to be around people who hate her because she wants to be remembered but not lingering.
In the past, their reasons may have been sufficient; but now, Dumbledore thinks - people have to look forward.Well, now neither of them seem to want to be hated by the other.This is a good beginning.
...It made Sera feel strangely moved, although she replied "Albus, you see, it's normal for me to get along with you".
Who would have thought that Sera, who was still molesting Professor Snape in the auditorium last semester and causing panic, would so honestly bow to all the students who were more or less bullied by her today.
Anyway, Snape himself looked a little like laughing.
Only Draco was injured, and his private lessons turned into large classes.
"—The time is from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] every Friday night, starting next week. All students, you are welcome to participate in this activity in the large classroom on the first floor. I must say that Sierra has a really genius idea. Seeing that Serra didn't speak, Dumbledore had to add himself.
It was still dark when we finished eating, and Serra was feeling a little overwhelmed today, so he decided to go for a walk by the Black Lake. As a result, a reporter from the Daily Prophet caught Serra at the front door and said he wanted to conduct an interview.Sela agreed to him very curiously.
"Miss Green," said the short reporter with a kind smile, "can you describe the detailed process of killing the basilisk? You know, not everyone is so easy to believe that a student can have such great ability of."
"Oh, of course. But the first thing I want to say is that I am not an ordinary student, and I hope that all young wizards will not try to follow the procedures I am about to say without adult supervision." Sera spoke very directly, " I found out that it was a basilisk through investigation in advance, so I went straight to its eyes as soon as it came up. What needs to be mentioned here is that I went to the principal's office to catch our principal's phoenix. It was bigger than I thought. Even more effective, directly pecking at the basilisk's eyes."
In order to avoid imitation, Serra directly described the first step as unachievable.
"Then, the matter is simple, it is a blind snake, I am a genius witch, I found a right angle and threw a powerful freezing spell into its mouth, after freezing it, I used the transfiguration spell to turn it into a cup— Then 'snap' the glass and it's over."
The reporter was probably a novice, and had never seen such an arrogant person like Serra. He got stuck for a moment before saying, "It was a wonderful battle... Then, Miss Green, we know that Hogwarts seems to be very different in the past two years. Why is it so peaceful, last year a dark wizard tried to steal treasures from Hogwarts, and this happened again this year, do you think this means that Hogwarts is no longer safe?" He instinctively wanted to change the topic from Sera lead away.
And Sera's expression obviously seemed to say, "Why do you have to ask so many interesting questions?" But she frowned and answered: "Actually, on the contrary, Hogwarts is the safest place. .It's survivor bias, Mr. Reporter. If these things didn't happen at Hogwarts, people might have died long ago."
"Thank you for your answer, Miss Green." The wizard, who was as tall as Sera, was overwhelmed by her aura, and rubbed his hands together uncomfortably, "Finally..." "Goodbye." Sera didn't No matter what he was going to say, he hastily dropped two words and ran away.
She found Snape out!He noticed her, and seemed to give her a schadenfreude smile, and then continued to walk away quickly as if nothing had happened.
Serra didn't even think about it, and ran to catch up with him. "Severus! What are you doing out here?"
It's been a whole day!The image of him standing under the moonlight yesterday was still flashing in her mind!She should rush up and hug him!Although she didn't have that impulse at the time, the more she thinks about it today, the more she regrets it!
"It's over so soon? I thought you were enjoying it." Snape turned his head to look at Sela, and kept walking.
Sierra was disciplined to keep up with him. "I enjoy talking to you more," she blurted out with a smirk.
"Please be normal." She came again.But now he dared to speak up—although it was useless.
"It's the normal Serra talking to you now." Serra liked his familiar tone, "So what are you going to do?"
"Catch students. Otherwise, is it a walk?"
They walked all the way to the Whomping Willow - Snape had just noticed that the tree seemed to be moving a bit.I thought it was some unlucky student who came to provoke the old tree again, but when he got here, he found that there was no one there.
"I don't see any students here." Seeing Snape stop, Sierra also looked at the huge willow tree.
Forget it, no one gets hurt.
"Maybe he still knows to be afraid."
"Could it be the car from Ron's family?" Sera wondered, "I heard that it lived in the Forbidden Forest later."
"Obviously an old Ford is smarter than Potter and Weasley." Snape was going to hurt Potter twice when he got the chance, especially in this location.
"Since you haven't found it, let's sit here for a while." Today's weather is fine, one end of the sky is the fiery red sunset that is slowly setting, the other end has turned into a quiet dark blue; the evening wind gently blows the Whomping Willow , the golden leaves rustle.Sierra had already sat down cross-legged facing the willow tree.
Nothing to do at night, and stay with her anyway.Snape thought he could relax here, too.
Selah took off her shoes again at some point, and—she was still wearing a skirt.So half of the calf was exposed.She looked at him confidently, and patted the grass beside her, as if asking why he didn't sit down.
Very unsightly.
Snape refused.
"Actually, I've wanted to ask for a long time. Why do you have to be barefoot?" He asked looking at the sunset.
"Why don't you sit down?" Serra said briskly. "Be close to the ground. It's comfortable."
It turned out to be because of this. "Only six or seven-year-old children would like to step on the mud to play."
"Adults like it too, but you don't admit it." Sera pulled out his cloak that was covered by the wind on her face, "So you also played with mud when you were a child?" She laughed teasingly.
Snape cast a helpless glance at Serra, and at his own robes that were held together.But as long as she was willing to stand up, or he was willing to sit down, such indecent things would not happen-he could imagine how ridiculous he must be looking now.
But—no one saw it anyway.
"I know there's a secret passage here that leads to the Shrieking Shack." After a while, Sera said in a rambling tone.
"I know too."
"Pfft. When you say that, I suddenly feel like the two of us are discussing how to violate school rules."
"Even if we were classmates," Snape glanced at her, "it would be impossible for me to communicate with you."
"It doesn't matter, anyway, you are communicating with me now." Sera was suddenly very interested, "Why don't you tell me what story you have here?" Idle is also idle.
At this time, the mountains in the distance swallowed up the last ray of sunlight, Sera noticed the change in the surrounding light, and romantically cast a spell to cover the crystal ball with a layer of white fluorescent light, making it float between the two of them; A small circle of grass is covered with a light green light.
Snape quietly admired the marvelous sight.This is magic - so beautiful.I wonder if my childhood self had ever fantasized about this fairytale scene?
——and she, who has always been so special, Sierra Green.
Snape just breathed the wind quietly, without answering.
"You really don't want to sit down? I mean, if you're really embarrassed, I can turn you into a penguin," Serra added, so she wouldn't have to look up at him.
"No." What kind of outrageous question is this?
"Ah. You're such a trouble." Sera took off her short cloak and cast two spells—it turned into a black flying carpet. "Come up." After saying that, without waiting for Snape's reaction, Sera grabbed him and made him sit beside her.
"Okay!" Sierra cheered, and the flying carpet flew over the willow trees and the dark Forbidden Forest, circling into the sky!
The moonlight here was very clear, and Sera once again saw Severus Snape under the moon as he wished.
"Did I say that? You're really charming," she murmured.
Snape found that this feeling of being out of the world happened almost frequently when he was with her.
Sierra is like that.There are some things that he really wants to try, but when he denies his own heart due to all kinds of pessimism, awkwardness, and indifference, she can always find another way to achieve her wish, until—flying to the sky.
The two were in the sky at the moment, two hundred feet higher than the tallest astronomy tower in Hogwarts Castle.The moon seemed so close—today was a full moon.
The high-altitude cold made Sera shiver, but at this time she was unwilling to cast a warming spell on herself—because the biting cold could make her go crazy for a while.
Snape was a little worried.He looked at Sera's feet dangling outside the flying carpet, always worried that she would jump off again on impulse.
Therefore, he just took off his cloak in silence and put it on her shoulders.
—which seemed to have discouraged her from jumping, for she climbed all the way up the flying carpet at once, and wrapped them both together in a wide cloak.
Kneeling on the flying carpet like a koala, she hugged Snape from behind, reached up to his neckline and knotted the cloak in a random knot, then retracted - and wrapped it around his waist again, I can't hold on anymore.
In the end, she leaned into his neck and took a happy breath——
Then it lay on his shoulder.
Snape was completely stiff.
...This is too...!
Even though Snape was already immune to the nonsense she blurted out from time to time-even though he had fully understood that she was taming him step by step and pushing his bottom line! ——But this, this is really too fierce...
...and he had somehow promised her that he would never use Occlumency on her again!
"Sera," Snape said dryly, "aren't you curious - what happened to me at the Whomping Willow? You - you let go and I'll tell you." Shame!What a shame!How long has it been since he spoke in such a begging tone? ...Snape couldn't remember at all, he felt as if his memory and life were shattered and there was nothing left, and now he could only feel her heat and her breath in his ear - he stared blankly at the moon , I feel as if I have become some kind of irrational werewolf.
"No." Sera refused decisively, "Impossible." The question can be asked next time, and Snape was caught by her unprepared.
"..."
Snape had no idea how to make her stop.
After a while, his sanity slowly came back-but sadly, his sanity actually thought it was good to just stay there.
"Don't you think—it seems that with our current relationship, it's not good for me to do this." Sera spoke suddenly.Her voice was muffled, and her hot breath hit his shoulders.
Snape's heart went up, she was coming!She's coming to advance the relationship!
what can he doReject her again?But what reason?
Are you saying she's immature?But she is clearly capable of being alone, and even emotionally he has regarded her as an equal many times—the most important thing is that he himself has been a little shaken—or should he talk about the future that is not yet clear?However, under this moonlight, even the most realistic people will inevitably become emotional——
"I used to sleep with livestock like this, you know, especially sheep." Selah said this.
……
"About...the Dueling Club," Snape tossed out a topic with despair, "what are you going to do?"
"Oh." Sera became interested, "I was going to tell you tonight. What a genius idea! I plan to engage in a faction battle, and then I will be the Green Devil, Lauder Sera, my follower The ones are called Pumpkin Eaters. Then I temporarily set Malfoy as the leader of another faction, called Xiaolong Club, and his members are called Carrots. Don’t ask me why I am Carrot and Pumpkin Eaters, because they rhyme."
... Could it be the pumpkins and radishes that are the crux of the matter? !
"Do you really think this is a good idea?" Snape said with difficulty, "The students are not ignorant, and some of them even lost their families because of the war."
"Of course." Serra nodded firmly—jaw poking into Snape's shoulder. "This is my personal experience. Do you know about learned helplessness, Severus?"
Sierra used to be like that, living with the heart of dying sooner or later, avoiding potions, avoiding black magic, and even knowing that the Philosopher's Stone was by her side, she was indifferent until Dumbledore brought the Philosopher's Stone to her.
Are these little wizards allowed to grow up living in fear of the "mysterious man"?In the years since Voldemort had disappeared, if they didn't seize the opportunity to try to defeat him - if only to defeat their own fear of him, what would such a reality change for the future?Just waiting for him to come back to rule them again.
Sera hoped that if she couldn't give everyone the fighting ability to face Voldemort, she could give them the courage to call him by their first name—no big deal!
When he makes a comeback, we are ready too!
——This is actually a particularly clear realization when she defeated the basilisk.
She felt how powerful she was, what she could do for Dumbledore—for all wizards.
She is not an island, not a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
She hopes that more people can understand her state of mind at that time - facing her fears and regaining her new life.
...Of course, she also has selfish motives.
Selah doesn't want to judge individual heroism and collective wisdom, but when the hero who may be sacrificed is someone she cares about, she must try to change the course of the story.
This is just the beginning.
"...I see." Snape didn't know how to react, he wanted to say that those students were still children, and most of them were not too bright, so what could they learn?
But maybe Serra was right, as she said, as long as the fear can be eliminated, it is considered a success.Even Snape couldn't help but feel at ease with that ideal future - the one every student dared to call by his first name.
Fear is what makes war more terrifying.
It may be better to let them grow up gradually than a possible sudden change.
"Would you like to be my pumpkin devourer?" Sierra wriggled behind him, pretending to be embarrassed by the invitation.
"I think it's better not to involve the professor in this matter." Then the students may not be able to relax at the beginning.
"You can do it secretly. You can be my pumpkin devourer, so that we can discuss the specific competition format together now."
"...so you haven't started thinking about the most critical parts yet?"
In the end, the two discussed the mechanics of the club for about two hours, hundreds of feet up and under the beautiful moonlight.
Thankfully, Snape remembered to cast the Warming Charm halfway through.
The author has something to say:
I feel that I am not strong enough to write the feeling of flying to the sky
"I'm Playing Big Swords in HP" is very good!Very wrong!Super awesome!
The students were excitedly discussing the blood on the wall, Filch's wailing, and the unlucky Harry Potter trio.Some young wizards, such as Neville Longbottom, were not interested in this kind of conversation, but most of them didn't take it seriously: Mrs. Norris was not likable anyway, and she was not dead.

Fred and George stared at Percy's death stare: "It's really not us this time!"
"Why don't you suspect that Serra did it?"
"Oh!" said the brown-haired senior with wide-eyed eyes. "Don't be kidding me! Sierra will just kill that cat!"
——This is the difference between the equally troublesome Sierra and the twins in the eyes of the students: the red hair of the Weasleys makes them look sunny, even if they often deduct points from the house, but they bring laughter to everyone , everyone loves them; yet Sierra's spooky black hair and purple eyes - and of course, the creepy smile she wears all the time - make her pranks look like they really want you life.
Although the three parties did not have the above consciousness.
"Ding——" "Quiet!" Dumbledore on the teacher's seat suddenly knocked on the cup.After all the students returned to their seats and sat down, he spoke again: "Today I have something to announce."

You don't have to worry about this matter anymore. For this reason, I want to Add [-] points to Ravenclaw." Dumbledore said nonchalantly: "The new professor is coming, and you will see him after Halloween. During this period, Professor Snape will take over the class temporarily. Alright, let's eat Come on, students."
The students reacted to the news for a while.
What?
A student who solved a monster that even the professor couldn't?
"Hey!" The Weasley brothers were the first to react, and they shouted: "Principal Dumbledore! Why don't you just hire Sierra as our new professor!" The crowd burst into cheers, although this time The crisis was resolved before everyone knew it, but that didn't stop them from booing with the Weasley twins - how cool!Sierra saves the professor!

What needs to be mentioned here is that I went to the principal's office to catch our principal's phoenix. It was bigger than I thought. Even more effective, directly pecking at the basilisk's eyes."
In order to avoid imitation, Serra directly described the first step as unachievable.
"Then, the matter is simple, it is a blind snake, I am a genius witch, I found a right angle and threw a powerful freezing spell into its mouth, after freezing it, I used the transfiguration spell to turn it into a cup— Then 'snap' the glass and it's over."
The reporter was probably a novice, and had never seen such an arrogant person like Serra. He got stuck for a moment before saying, "It was a wonderful battle... Then, Miss Green, we know that Hogwarts seems to be very different in the past two years. Why is it so peaceful, last year a dark wizard tried to steal treasures from Hogwarts, and this happened again this year, do you think this means that Hogwarts is no longer safe?" He instinctively wanted to change the topic from Sera lead away.
And Sera's expression obviously seemed to say, "Why do you have to ask so many interesting questions?" But she frowned and answered: "Actually, on the contrary, Hogwarts is the safest place. .It's survivor bias, Mr. Reporter. If these things didn't happen at Hogwarts, people might have died long ago."
"Thank you for your answer, Miss Green." The wizard, who was as tall as Sera, was overwhelmed by her aura, and rubbed his hands together uncomfortably, "Finally..." "Goodbye." Sera didn't No matter what he was going to say, he hastily dropped two words and ran away.
She found Snape out!He noticed her, and seemed to give her a schadenfreude smile, and then continued to walk away quickly as if nothing had happened.
Serra didn't even think about it, and ran to catch up with him. "Severus! What are you doing out here?"
It's been a whole day!The image of him standing under the moonlight yesterday was still flashing in her mind!She should rush up and hug him!Although she didn't have that impulse at the time, the more she thinks about it today, the more she regrets it!
"It's over so soon? I thought you were enjoying it." Snape turned his head to look at Sela, and kept walking.
Sierra was disciplined to keep up with him. "I enjoy talking to you more," she blurted out with a smirk.
"Please be normal." She came again.But now he dared to speak up—although it was useless.
"It's the normal Serra talking to you now." Serra liked his familiar tone, "So what are you going to do?"
"Catch students. Otherwise, is it a walk?"
They walked all the way to the Whomping Willow - Snape had just noticed that the tree seemed to be moving a bit.I thought it was some unlucky student who came to provoke the old tree again, but when he got here, he found that there was no one there.
"I don't see any students here." Seeing Snape stop, Sierra also looked at the huge willow tree.
Forget it, no one gets hurt.
"Maybe he still knows to be afraid."
"Could it be the car from Ron's family?" Sera wondered, "I heard that it lived in the Forbidden Forest later."
"Obviously an old Ford is smarter than Potter and Weasley." Snape was going to hurt Potter twice when he got the chance, especially in this location.
"Since you haven't found it, let's sit here for a while." Today's weather is fine, one end of the sky is the fiery red sunset that is slowly setting, the other end has turned into a quiet dark blue; the evening wind gently blows the Whomping Willow , the golden leaves rustle.Sierra had already sat down cross-legged facing the willow tree.
Nothing to do at night, and stay with her anyway.Snape thought he could relax here, too.
Selah took off her shoes again at some point, and—she was still wearing a skirt.So half of the calf was exposed.She looked at him confidently, and patted the grass beside her, as if asking why he didn't sit down.
Very unsightly.
Snape refused.
"Actually, I've wanted to ask for a long time. Why do you have to be barefoot?" He asked looking at the sunset.
"Why don't you sit down?" Serra said briskly. "Be close to the ground. It's comfortable."
It turned out to be because of this. "Only six or seven-year-old children would like to step on the mud to play."
"Adults like it too, but you don't admit it." Sera pulled out his cloak that was covered by the wind on her face, "So you also played with mud when you were a child?" She laughed teasingly.
Snape cast a helpless glance at Serra, and at his own robes that were held together.But as long as she was willing to stand up, or he was willing to sit down, such indecent things would not happen-he could imagine how ridiculous he must be looking now.
But—no one saw it anyway.
"I know there's a secret passage here that leads to the Shrieking Shack." After a while, Sera said in a rambling tone.
"I know too."
"Pfft. When you say that, I suddenly feel like the two of us are discussing how to violate school rules."
"Even if we were classmates," Snape glanced at her, "it would be impossible for me to communicate with you."
"It doesn't matter, anyway, you are communicating with me now." Sera was suddenly very interested, "Why don't you tell me what story you have here?" Idle is also idle.
At this time, the mountains in the distance swallowed up the last ray of sunlight, Sera noticed the change in the surrounding light, and romantically cast a spell to cover the crystal ball with a layer of white fluorescent light, making it float between the two of them; A small circle of grass is covered with a light green light.
Snape quietly admired the marvelous sight.This is magic - so beautiful.I wonder if my childhood self had ever fantasized about this fairytale scene?
——and she, who has always been so special, Sierra Green.
Snape just breathed the wind quietly, without answering.
"You really don't want to sit down? I mean, if you're really embarrassed, I can turn you into a penguin," Serra added, so she wouldn't have to look up at him.
"No." What kind of outrageous question is this?
"Ah. You're such a trouble." Sera took off her short cloak and cast two spells—it turned into a black flying carpet. "Come up." After saying that, without waiting for Snape's reaction, Sera grabbed him and made him sit beside her.
"Okay!" Sierra cheered, and the flying carpet flew over the willow trees and the dark Forbidden Forest, circling into the sky!
The moonlight here was very clear, and Sera once again saw Severus Snape under the moon as he wished.
"Did I say that? You're really charming," she murmured.
Snape found that this feeling of being out of the world happened almost frequently when he was with her.
Sierra is like that.There are some things that he really wants to try, but when he denies his own heart due to all kinds of pessimism, awkwardness, and indifference, she can always find another way to achieve her wish, until—flying to the sky.
The two were in the sky at the moment, two hundred feet higher than the tallest astronomy tower in Hogwarts Castle.The moon seemed so close—today was a full moon.
The high-altitude cold made Sera shiver, but at this time she was unwilling to cast a warming spell on herself—because the biting cold could make her go crazy for a while.
Snape was a little worried.He looked at Sera's feet dangling outside the flying carpet, always worried that she would jump off again on impulse.
Therefore, he just took off his cloak in silence and put it on her shoulders.
—which seemed to have discouraged her from jumping, for she climbed all the way up the flying carpet at once, and wrapped them both together in a wide cloak.
Kneeling on the flying carpet like a koala, she hugged Snape from behind, reached up to his neckline and knotted the cloak in a random knot, then retracted - and wrapped it around his waist again, I can't hold on anymore.
In the end, she leaned into his neck and took a happy breath——
Then it lay on his shoulder.
Snape was completely stiff.
...This is too...!
Even though Snape was already immune to the nonsense she blurted out from time to time-even though he had fully understood that she was taming him step by step and pushing his bottom line! ——But this, this is really too fierce...
...and he had somehow promised her that he would never use Occlumency on her again!
"Sera," Snape said dryly, "aren't you curious - what happened to me at the Whomping Willow? You - you let go and I'll tell you." Shame!What a shame!How long has it been since he spoke in such a begging tone? ...Snape couldn't remember at all, he felt as if his memory and life were shattered and there was nothing left, and now he could only feel her heat and her breath in his ear - he stared blankly at the moon , I feel as if I have become some kind of irrational werewolf.
"No." Sera refused decisively, "Impossible." The question can be asked next time, and Snape was caught by her unprepared.
"..."
Snape had no idea how to make her stop.
After a while, his sanity slowly came back-but sadly, his sanity actually thought it was good to just stay there.
"Don't you think—it seems that with our current relationship, it's not good for me to do this." Sera spoke suddenly.Her voice was muffled, and her hot breath hit his shoulders.
Snape's heart went up, she was coming!She's coming to advance the relationship!
what can he doReject her again?But what reason?
Are you saying she's immature?But she is clearly capable of being alone, and even emotionally he has regarded her as an equal many times—the most important thing is that he himself has been a little shaken—or should he talk about the future that is not yet clear?However, under this moonlight, even the most realistic people will inevitably become emotional——
"I used to sleep with livestock like this, you know, especially sheep." Selah said this.
……
"About...the Dueling Club," Snape tossed out a topic with despair, "what are you going to do?"
"Oh." Sera became interested, "I was going to tell you tonight. What a genius idea! I plan to engage in a faction battle, and then I will be the Green Devil, Lauder Sera, my follower The ones are called Pumpkin Eaters. Then I temporarily set Malfoy as the leader of another faction, called Xiaolong Club, and his members are called Carrots. Don’t ask me why I am Carrot and Pumpkin Eaters, because they rhyme."
... Could it be the pumpkins and radishes that are the crux of the matter? !
"Do you really think this is a good idea?" Snape said with difficulty, "The students are not ignorant, and some of them even lost their families because of the war."
"Of course." Serra nodded firmly—jaw poking into Snape's shoulder. "This is my personal experience. Do you know about learned helplessness, Severus?"
Sierra used to be like that, living with the heart of dying sooner or later, avoiding potions, avoiding black magic, and even knowing that the Philosopher's Stone was by her side, she was indifferent until Dumbledore brought the Philosopher's Stone to her.
Are these little wizards allowed to grow up living in fear of the "mysterious man"?In the years since Voldemort had disappeared, if they didn't seize the opportunity to try to defeat him - if only to defeat their own fear of him, what would such a reality change for the future?Just waiting for him to come back to rule them again.
Sera hoped that if she couldn't give everyone the fighting ability to face Voldemort, she could give them the courage to call him by their first name—no big deal!
When he makes a comeback, we are ready too!
——This is actually a particularly clear realization when she defeated the basilisk.
She felt how powerful she was, what she could do for Dumbledore—for all wizards.
She is not an island, not a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
She hopes that more people can understand her state of mind at that time - facing her fears and regaining her new life.
...Of course, she also has selfish motives.
Selah doesn't want to judge individual heroism and collective wisdom, but when the hero who may be sacrificed is someone she cares about, she must try to change the course of the story.
This is just the beginning.
"...I see." Snape didn't know how to react, he wanted to say that those students were still children, and most of them were not too bright, so what could they learn?
But maybe Serra was right, as she said, as long as the fear can be eliminated, it is considered a success.Even Snape couldn't help but feel at ease with that ideal future - the one every student dared to call by his first name.
Fear is what makes war more terrifying.
It may be better to let them grow up gradually than a possible sudden change.
"Would you like to be my pumpkin devourer?" Sierra wriggled behind him, pretending to be embarrassed by the invitation.
"I think it's better not to involve the professor in this matter." Then the students may not be able to relax at the beginning.
"You can do it secretly. You can be my pumpkin devourer, so that we can discuss the specific competition format together now."
"...so you haven't started thinking about the most critical parts yet?"
In the end, the two discussed the mechanics of the club for about two hours, hundreds of feet up and under the beautiful moonlight.
Thankfully, Snape remembered to cast the Warming Charm halfway through.
The author has something to say:
I feel that I am not strong enough to write the feeling of flying to the sky
"I'm Playing Big Swords in HP" is very good!Very wrong!Super awesome!
