Ch.18: Silver Chain

"You and Senior Snape...are you having a quarrel?"

On a sunny spring morning, Michelia flowers flutter in the wind, swaying and fragrant, and the silver snake girl leans against the tree, flipping through books quietly.That face that is always smiling is as beautiful as the flowers blooming on the branches.

Little Blake, who was practicing walking again in the yard, finally couldn't help asking about the silver snake after meeting the gaze of the young man in the room looking this way through the window for the third time.The atmosphere between the two of them in the same room in the past few days made him keenly aware of something wrong: Snape's expression became more and more cold and gloomy, the girl didn't seem to care, and vaguely seemed to be avoiding the man.This made him a little puzzled and worried.

Zenobia raised her head in surprise, closed the book in her hand, and asked in puzzlement, "Why do you think so?" But, maybe, she was indeed a little awkward?But it's not about "quarreling" with anyone, but... shyness: every time she meets Snape's dark eyes, she can't control her heartbeat, and then... feels embarrassed, and afraid that the other party will find herself crooked thoughts.Before she had figured out how to deal with this relationship, Silver Snake didn't want to recklessly confess her thoughts to the man, they were companions, and she didn't want to make their relationship awkward.

"If not, why don't you talk anymore?" Facing the simple and simple Silver Snake girl, Little Blake never communicated with her in a tactful and aristocratic manner. When speaking to her, he was always gentle and direct.

"Ah... well, no, it's nothing." Zenobia's face became hot, and she quickly lowered her head, not wanting people to find out that she was shy, and complained softly and sweetly to herself in her heart: Why did she become so shy all of a sudden? too!

Little Black's reaction to the silver snake was a little confused, and he accidentally caught a glimpse of the other's red ears, and then suddenly woke up, his expression gradually became strange, but it was a bit ironic: This girl who looks generous and cheerful is really shy easily; His stern senior also seemed to be very dull, as if he had misunderstood something!What an interesting couple.

"Hayes," looking at the shy girl, Little Blake sighed helplessly, could not help showing kindness, and reminded in a low voice, "Senior Snape seems to be in a bad mood these days..."

Zenobia immediately came back to her senses, and looked at Little Black in confusion, not understanding what the other person meant.Then, she suddenly remembered what Malfoy said a few days ago... She couldn't help but patted her head in annoyance, she was so careless!He only cared about his own little thoughts, and even ignored all the important things.

——Silver Snake didn't really fail to notice Snape's gloomy mood, but every time she wanted to talk to him, when she paired those deep black pupils, she panicked hopelessly, and the man was extremely nervous. A girl who is good at restraining her emotions and has just tasted her heartbeat doesn't even have time to sort out her messy mood, so naturally she is not as sharp as usual.

"I almost forgot the business." Zenobia said dejectedly, cursing herself for being selfish in her heart, but she was about to get up and go back to the house, and thanked little Black, "Thank you for reminding, Black." She was concerned again He said calmly, "You should have enough exercise today, don't be too impatient, your body has basically recovered."

Blake watched the girl pick up the book with black lines all over her head, and ran away in a hurry—did she misunderstand what she meant?Forget it, she took the initiative to run to find Snape, presumably the misunderstanding would be cleared up soon.

"Mister has been sitting here today," Zenobia forced herself to suppress her restlessness, walked up to Snape with a smile, and asked, "What's the matter?" Normally, men always wait In the potions room, or reading in the study or something.

Snape stared silently at the girl's rosy cheeks, feeling agitated.Little Black seemed to have said something to Silver Snake just now, and then he saw the girl suddenly lowered her head in a shy gesture of being at a loss.

"I'm assuming this is my house." The man said impatiently, "Could it be that I have to report to you first while I'm sitting in my living room?" As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed the girl's astonished eyes... His tone was terrible.Immediately, I felt a little regretful.

Zenobia wasn't surprised by Snape's words, but she had long been used to the other's distinctive language.She just suddenly felt that Snape's mood was really, really bad, and she regretted her carelessness in her heart.Unable to regain her beautiful thoughts, the snake's tail involuntarily swam to the man's leg, and she asked worriedly: "Did something happen? Can I help?"

Snape was taken aback, not following the girl's leap of thought.

Zenobia hesitated for a moment, touched the man's hand lightly, and asked hesitantly: "...Yes, the prophecy?" Was Snape worried about the tragedy happening again, because he was afraid that Lily Potter would be hacked again? The devil killed him, so he was so irritable?

Thinking of Lily Potter, Silver Snake felt faintly depressed, but immediately packed up again—now is not the time to think about feelings—to be honest, she doesn't care who lives and who dies.All she cared about was Snape.Because he was worried about Snape, he hoped that the Dark Lord would die quickly; he didn't want Snape to be trapped by his past mistakes, so he hoped that the Potter family could survive the crisis.

So before Snape came back to his senses, Zenobia explained softly: "Don't worry too much about Evans," although the last time Snape talked about the past, the description of Lily Potter It was vague, but even if Zenobia hadn’t read the original book at all, she could tell that the girl was special to him, “She and Potter are the backbone of the Order of the Phoenix, and Dumbledore is obliged to protect them. Not that , is the person the Dark Lord fears the most?" He said, taking out a delicate chain and stuffing it into the man's hand, "If you are really worried, you can give this chain to Evans...it can not only It can withstand more than three fatal attacks, and when the owner is in crisis, it will launch a reflex attack, which will directly destroy the soul of the enemy." This is a life-saving talisman made by the mother of Silver Snake for her daughter when she was pregnant with Silver Snake. Later, she encountered an accident not done.After Zenobia learned alchemy, she followed her mother's idea and finally refined it.She has kept this chain in her soul space, and she never thought of taking it out for use.

"Didn't you say that the Potters were betrayed by their friends last time?" Zenobia suppressed her reluctance for the silver chain, smiled and raised her head, meeting the man's jewel-like eyes, "We Find him now and kill him directly. In this way, Evans should be safe. As for the Dark Lord, hasn't he already split several Horcruxes? If the sky wants him to die, he will be driven mad. He will not be violent How long."

Snape silently looked into the girl's clear eyes. At this moment, he found that this innocent girl was actually far smarter and wiser than he imagined. Her innocence was just because she was used to watching from the sidelines; she didn't care about those things. Right and wrong, so keep a pure and thorough mind.

Picking up the necklace for a closer look, Snape shook his head and stuffed the item back into the girl's palm: "They are not your responsibility."

The workmanship of the necklace is extremely exquisite and gorgeous, the silver snake is circling among the entwined ivy, and the strange and strange inscriptions are flying around the silver snake.Snape knew what those words meant: they were words from another continent, "the gift of God the Father", or rather, Zenobia's real name.He knew right away that this silver chain was very important to the silver snake, so even though the necklace was an extraordinary defensive alchemy item, he was unwilling to give it to another person with something that belonged to a girl.He did owe Lily's life, and he would try his best to make it up; but in any case, he didn't want to make Zenobia feel sad.

——Admit it or not, the torment he experienced in the past few days made Snape understand: his heart has changed.There is only one person who really wants to protect.

"I'll find another way," Snape said.

At this time, Zenobia smiled, tilted her head, and met the man's refusing gaze with sparkling eyes: "But, the Dark Lord will not let Evans go, even if the betrayer is solved, who knows if he will come again?" What about new informers? At this time, it is difficult to have a comprehensive solution. I want to help you, and I can only provide alchemy items for self-defense. Now that there are insufficient materials and time is tight, this is the only thing I can offer. "

Silver Snake was very relieved: at least the man didn't hesitate to take his own things to save Evans when her life might be in danger... Thinking about it this way, although it was a bit selfish, who told her to fall in love with him?When you are in love, you naturally want to compare, and jealousy is inevitable.

Of course Snape knew that Silver Snake was very considerate, but he insisted on not accepting the chain, and said lightly: "Didn't you give me a badge before, I haven't used it yet..."

"I don't agree." Zenobia immediately protested, glaring at the man angrily, "That is a gift from me!"

Snape was a little taken aback by Silver Snake's intense emotions, so he couldn't help but fell silent.

Silver Snake was a little dissatisfied with his attitude, and simply threatened: "If you give the badge to Evans, I will... I will never provide you with those potions again, and I won't help you process the materials, and I won't give you Food...you don't need to accept this chain, I will give it to Evans myself!"

"Don't make trouble." Snape reprimanded, but couldn't help smiling, raised his hand and stroked the girl's hair lightly, "I won't give the badge to anyone else."

"Then confess the Lord with a drop of blood now!" Silver Snake was still worried, "The world is dangerous, and you often go out recently, the extra layer of protection will be an extra layer of safety."

"it is good."

Zenobia breathed a sigh of relief, and showed her face again: "Take the necklace and give it to Evans tomorrow... Or, by the way, quietly get rid of that mouse?"

Snape finally accepted the silver chain, and said flatly: "I'll take care of it, you don't have to worry about it." As he spoke, he carefully stroked the necklace in his hand, making up his mind secretly.
