Ch.13: Turning point

This year, the situation in the wizarding world was extremely grim, and the war between the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix gradually intensified.Hogwarts is no longer a paradise. With the increasing number of casualties reported by the Daily Prophet every day, the atmosphere among the colleges has become more and more tense; especially between Slytherin and Gryffindor, every day, The conflicts between the little wizards of the two colleges have never stopped.At the same time, there is also an undercurrent in Slytherin.

Snape didn't seem to be affected by the tense atmosphere at all. After finishing the class in a low-key manner every day, he would go back to the dormitory to fiddle with the cauldron, or go to the Response Room to study magic with Zenobia.It's just clear that his college life can't always be peaceful.

On this day, after being bored in the potion room for many days, he was urged by Silver Snake to go for a walk near the Black Lake in the name of "proper exercise is good for health".Unexpectedly, not long after leaving the cellar, he heard an extremely disgusting voice from the side.

"Yo, look who this is?"

"A sullen, greasy snot, a disgusting Death Eater!"

The one-chance dialogue made Snape, who was in a bad mood because he was forced to leave the cauldron, suddenly annoyed. He turned slightly sideways, while secretly guarding himself, he folded his arms and squinted at the Jiedao group of four, raised his chin proudly, and said with a sneer : "Stupid Potter, congratulations, your mouth has finally lost its normal function, and you have successfully evolved from talking and eating to an organ specialized in excreting special objects. That's right, the stupid deer's skills are beyond human comprehension!"

"Damn snot..."

"Hmm, expecting the stupid deer to correctly read the name of a person is indeed more inconceivable than letting the troll learn to brew the Blessing Elixir."

"Prongs, there's no need to quarrel with this snotling..." The speaker reminded the messy-haired young man in a low voice, and suddenly cast a curse at Snape, "Shut up..."

"Disarm you." The Snake King showed his sharp fangs, and quickly disarmed the two people who intended to attack him, knocking them into the air. The little lion, who has never experienced war, obviously cannot be a double-faced man with strong magic power and rich practical experience. Spy's Rival: Well, he doesn't have to be soft on his old foe.

Lupine the werewolf and Peter Pettigrew hurried to them, asking and helping them up.

Snape carelessly stroked his black wand, and met Black's resentful eyes mockingly: "Stupid deer and stupid dog are really good friends... oh, and maybe a mouse, and..." He didn't Ignoring Peter's frightened eyes, he glanced at Lupine, "A wolf."

The werewolf was pale and stiff.

Snape smirked maliciously: "Aha, like attracts like, the friendship of reptiles is really touching..."

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps, and the girl's beautiful voice shouted: "James, you are causing trouble everywhere again..."

"Lily," the somewhat embarrassed Potter quickly explained in a low voice, "I didn't cause any trouble, it's all because of the snot..."

"James!" the red-haired girl yelled and interrupted a few insulting words blurted out by the other party - but she had a cold face and didn't even look at Snape.Soon, the girl's lecture and the boy's flattery went away together.

Snape froze indifferently.He knew in his heart that compared to Potter and Black who were in a mess, he who seemed to be in good condition must have misunderstood the girl again.Obviously he should be suffering from the girl's attitude and misunderstanding, but he didn't feel anything... Everything seemed to be taken for granted.It's just that the girl's cold expression made him feel strange and distant, and the sunshine that had been hidden deep in his heart was dimming and blurring little by little.

"Oh, I'm warning you, snotling." Black, who was behind the other four, caught Snape's gaze and looked at his old school robe mockingly, "Lily is James' girlfriend, a dirty and disgusting girl like you Death Eaters, she will never take a second look." After finishing speaking, the boy walked away.

Snape sneered, he had no intention of taking a walk, and turned back to the cellar.

In the dormitory, a young man with a gloomy face sat motionless at the desk.A small silver snake quietly crawled out of his cuff, turned into a girl after rolling around on the ground.

Zenobia bit her lip and secretly looked at the young man who seemed to be in a daze. She wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say.She had seen the conflict just now, and the identity of the other party was also obvious. "Potter" and "Lily" should be the parents of the savior—the people Snape hated and loved the most.Silver Snake scratched his head in distress, wanting to comfort the young man, but remembered that the other party was essentially a Potions professor who had gone through too much suffering... She was soft-spoken, and probably had no effect.

"I'm assuming, Miss Hayes, have your brains been eaten by lacewings?" While Silver Snake was thinking hard, Snape had come back to his senses, watching her act of scratching her hair with disgust, "Look at your expression, it looks like you swallowed a bucket of slugs!"

Zenobia peeked at the young man's face, assessed the other party's mood, put on a smile, and asked curiously: "Who were those people just now? I feel that they are very annoying, so it's okay to find fault. "

"It's just a few brainless idiots, you don't need to know." Snape frowned tightly, his tone very fierce.

On the contrary, Silver Snake heaved a sigh of relief: Mr. is so energetic, he must not be in a bad mood.What's more, the Jiedao group of four suffered a big loss today.

At dinner that day, Snape sat at the long Slytherin table, concentrating on his food.Suddenly, there were several horrifying screams from the noisy Gryffindor long table, and then the whole long table became a mess.

People from the other three colleges were undoubtedly attracted to the famous Hogwarts Prince Gryffindor with two small black snakes in his mouth, Potter stuck his throat with one hand, and desperately Pull the snakes by their tails.However, the little snakes still persevered in drilling into his mouth... Black and the others rushed to help, while others in the same courtyard were stunned, while others ran away screaming timidly.

The Slytherins couldn't help gloating at the strange situation of Gryffindor. If they had to maintain their demeanor and restraint, they might not hesitate to laugh out loud.Snape also looked over there like everyone else, with a sarcastic and indifferent expression, knowing very well who made this farce in his heart.

After dinner, Snape hurried back to the cellar. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a "sitting" girl lying limply on the table, writing something with a quill in her hand.

"You're back." As soon as the girl heard the movement, she quickly put down her pen, staring straight at Snape with bright eyes, her expression not concealing her expectation and mischief, and she asked in a casual tone, "Is there anyone in the auditorium?" Have something fun happen?"

Uncomfortable with Silver Snake's earnest eyes, Snape cleared his throat: "I assume, what is Miss Hayes referring to by the fun things? Perhaps, you can tell your poor kept-in-the-dark contract Or, there's a secret about some stupid Potter eating snakes alive!"

"Haha, did you see that?" Zenobia asked excitedly, "How is that person behaving? Did he faint from fright? Originally, I wanted to put a table on the Gryffindor table. Ten Thousand Snake Formation, but that's too ostentatious, and it will be troublesome if it attracts suspicion from others."

"Well, I'm very relieved that Miss Snake still knows what ostentation is!" Snape replied with a sneer, "Given that your purpose is so obvious, I think that even if there are only two snakes, people will still be suspicious. Perhaps, now Someone was saying, 'Ah, Potter had a fight with that Slytherin half-blood this afternoon and got beaten to the ground, and that Snape must have set those two snakes too'!"

"It seems to be very obvious," Zenobia pulled her face down, "I didn't think carefully, and now everyone must think you did it... What can I do, I heard that the headmaster is Gryffindor Yes, will I trouble you." The more she said, the more frustrated Silver Snake became.Snape will be graduating in less than a year, and she actually caused him trouble during this sensitive period, although her intention was to vent her anger on him... Is it really like what Snape said, reptiles have too big brains? Small, do some stupid things.

Snape didn't continue to hit her, and shook his head indifferently: "I'll be fine. I just hope Miss Hayes, make good use of the round object around your neck before doing things in the future."

"Pfft." Silver Snake, whose emotions come and go quickly, was amused by the young man's statement. After confirming that the other party was not troubled by her reckless behavior, she was completely relieved, and while reflecting on this action, she Still can't help but laugh: She doesn't care what kind of Mr. Potter is a righteous Gryffindor, or the fatherhood of a great savior, all snakes are extremely defensive, he embarrasses and humiliates his companions, and even If he stole his girlfriend, she would scare him severely...Anyway, probably, no one would die.

In this way, time passed quickly in the confrontation between Gryffindor and Slytherin, ushering in Christmas in 1977 and New Year in 1978.On Snape's birthday, Zenobia still carefully prepared a cake and a feast.The atmosphere of the dinner was much more harmonious and natural than the previous one.

When he received Silver Snake's birthday present, Snape suddenly remembered the question he had been ignoring all along: "Your birthday?" Even if he was a companion, he would not take it for granted without giving anything.

Zenobia was startled, and sighed for a long time: "I don't know." In her previous life, her birthday was always forgotten by her because of her parents; The orphaned snake in the World of Warcraft Omori naturally couldn't figure out the exact date of birth.After thinking about it carefully, she smiled and said, "According to the calendar here, maybe it's January and February?"

Snape didn't say anything more at the time.This episode was also quickly thrown away by Silver Snake.

It was only early the next morning that Zenobia found a Snape-style gift box on her own sofa in the living room.The confused Silver Snake opened the box, and there was no surprise that there were two bottles of high-grade potions inside. When she saw the simple sentence on the cardboard, she laughed so hard that her eyes almost disappeared: "Birthday gift. SS "

It was decided that January [-]th would be her birthday every year from now on.The snake-tailed girl thought to herself, happily humming a birthday song, and swam into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the two of them.
