The Snake Wife of the HP Professor

Ch.21: Humanization

The magic world without the mysterious man became even more chaotic: the trial and pursuit of the Death Eaters, the whitewashing and alliance of the great nobles, the division of interests after the war by various forces... Time came quickly amidst the excitement. May of 1982.

Compared with the chaotic outside world, the Spider's End Alley, which is protected by a barrier, seems to be in a peaceful paradise.

Since the Dark Lord disappeared, Zenobia felt that her life became more and more comfortable: Snape seemed to have really let go of the burden of the past, his whole state was vaguely relaxed, and his attitude towards life also quietly changed .He no longer stays in the potion room all the time, the two spend more time together, and the conversation is not limited to the exchange and learning of magic and potions. Sometimes the man will sit quietly beside her, drinking coffee leisurely , while listening to her chattering about the affairs of the foreign continent; occasionally, she took him for a walk in the not-so-spacious yard after a meal, and he would impatiently accompany her for a few steps.

Silver Snake is not slow, she sensed that the man had the idea of ​​getting close, but the other party seemed to hesitate, which made her not sure about anything.She couldn't help feeling shy when dealing with this kind of feeling, but she always wanted to be more cautious.The most important thing is that she is not a human being, and she does not want to have a relationship with a man in this inhuman state.

However, there is always a hint of warm intimacy in the atmosphere between the two now.Silver Snake still enjoys the current state very much.

Like Silver Snake, Snape is not incapable of feeling the vague affection for each other.But he didn't know what to do. In front of the people he cared about, he often seemed to make things self-defeating, which made him dare not express his feelings to the girl rashly.

This man is used to watching silently and waiting passively.He is no longer the poor mixed race who had nothing, but the inferiority complex and arrogance of his youth have penetrated into his bone marrow, and now it seems to have become an instinct.

Sometimes, Snape felt that he was about to lose control of the beast in his heart, but pride and forbearance were like an iron chain, tightly binding the hungry and ugly desire-desire.In the end, he just tried his best to please the girl in a silent way, waiting for the girl to suddenly understand his deepest desire.

"Sir," Zenobia held a chocolate frog and teased the golden eagle with Malfoy's demeanor, and shouted upstairs, "The Malfoy family sent an invitation card!"

The golden eagle didn't even look at the chocolate frog in Silver Snake's hand, and turned its head in disdain, shaking its feathers proudly.Zenobia glared at it depressedly, scolded this cowardly bird secretly, thinking of its annoying owner, rolled her eyeballs around, and suddenly put her face in front of the golden eagle, gloomily With a laugh, he opened his mouth suddenly, and a scarlet letter hissed out.

The golden eagle fluttered its wings in fright, and flew towards the ceiling in a daze, bumped into an obstacle, flapped its wings and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Silver Snake laughed out loud, feeling extremely happy.Snape, who had just walked downstairs, saw all this in his eyes, pursed his lips, and said mockingly: "Well, has your IQ finally degraded to the point where you can fight with a bird?"

"Who made it so frustrating," Zenobia greeted her with a smile, and naturally took the man's arm, and sat on the sofa with him, muttering, "Seeing its flirtatious appearance Just reminds me of that white-haired peacock."

Snape snorted, ignored the stupid snake's childish remarks, picked up Malfoy's invitation and opened it.

"Is there something wrong?" Silver Snake put his head up curiously, "The Malfoy family just got out of trouble not long ago, so they won't be holding a banquet with great fanfare right now?"

"Malfoy's family reunion." Snape handed the invitation to the girl and explained, "Draco Malfoy's second birthday will be in a few days. It should be a birthday party for him."

"Are you going?" Zenobia flipped through the invitation and asked casually.The effects of the war have recently faded.Malfoy and Black had made some preparations earlier, and they were cleared up relatively smoothly. Now, if Snape goes in front of others, he is not worried about causing any trouble.

Snape didn't answer the girl's question right away, he lowered his eyelids, thought for a while, and asked, "What about you?"

Zenobia was stunned for a moment, then shrugged her shoulders: "How can I appear in front of people with my appearance like this?"

"Malfoy also invited you, so he naturally took your identity into consideration." Snape stared at the girl with a pair of deep eyes, "Also, only Regulus Black should be invited to this party. You If you want to go, go together."

Zenobia didn't understand what Snape was thinking, she thought of something, and smiled, "I don't really care. But this is Malfoy's first formal invitation, and you are his friend and Partner, I think it’s better to go together, maybe he actually has something to discuss with you.”

Snape watched her for a moment, then nodded slightly.Silver Snake raised the corners of her lips, and said, "Since you are going to an appointment, sir, you have to change into a new robe... Hehe, let me take a look at Fengya's mail-order catalogue."

Snape's face darkened suddenly, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end.

After dinner on June [-]th, Zenobia suddenly took out a black robe, stuffed it into Snape's hand, and said with a smile: "Sir, this is the dress I ordered for you, hurry up and try it on." .In case it doesn’t fit, there’s still time to change it.”

Snape took the robe in disgust, frowned and shook his head to look: Fortunately, it was still the black color he was used to, but the sleeves, corners of the robe and the front were all embroidered with dark patterns of the same color, the workmanship was very delicate, with a low-key of gorgeousness.

"There's no need to try," after all, it was the girl's careful preparation, and Snape didn't refuse, just said, "Even if it doesn't fit, a spell will do."

Zenobia's face was full of disapproval, and she stretched out her hand to grab one of the man's arms, stubbornly trying to pull him up: "Although it's just a family banquet, it's your first official visit to Malfoy after all, you can't It’s so fussy.” As she spoke, she tilted her head, “Even I specially made a wizard robe for you. Go and try it out, it’s not troublesome…”

Snape was reluctantly pushed and shoved by the girl back to his room to change clothes.After he came out, he found that the girl was nowhere to be seen. Thinking of what the other party said just now, he vaguely expected the girl to wear a wizard robe.Just as he was thinking, he heard a burst of light and fine footsteps from upstairs.The keen former double agent immediately sensed a kind of disharmony, before he even thought about the joint, he looked up and saw the girl standing there a little awkwardly, smiling shyly at him.

The man who has always been good at restraining his emotions, now has some achievements: Zenobia is really "standing" there, using her legs, she looks fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a silver skirt The wizard robe embroidered with blue patterns on a white background, part of her usual loose hair was neatly tied up... The girl's appearance is naturally very beautiful and charming, but there is a strange aura lingering around her, which makes her whole person feel like The illusion of enchantment and charm.

Zenobia was very nervous, pulling the sleeve of the wizard robe uncomfortably, suppressing her restless and shy mood.This was the first time she stood in front of Snape in a fully human form, and she was worried whether men would like her as she was now, and her emotions were naturally very chaotic—after all, there was still a slight difference between a fully human form and a half-snake state .Silver Snake originally felt that she should be confident in her appearance, but she also knew that Silver Snake's racial traits made her look too coquettish, and some people would not be used to it.

"Sir?" Zenobia felt that she was about to be burned by the man's gaze, and finally couldn't help saying, "You, uh, what do you think of me like this...?" Snape moved closer.

Snape stared at the girl with an unpredictable expression. Seeing her graceful walking posture, he unconsciously pursed his lips.

The man's silence made Zenobia a little flustered. She walked to the side of the man hesitantly, took a peek at his expression, sat beside him, touched her cheek uneasily, and asked, "Could it be Do you think my human form is strange? I..."

"When will you be able to turn into a human?" The man's abrupt question interrupted the girl's messy speech.

"Ah?" Silver Snake was stunned for a moment, and then answered honestly, "It happened more than half a month ago." After Yuluo, she felt that the man's breath suddenly became colder, and subconsciously explained, "I'm not used to using I can walk on my legs, so I want to practice it secretly, and I will give you a, uh, surprise."

After hearing her explanation, Snape snorted softly, "You think your troll-like way of walking will make me feel, aha, what a surprise?"

Zenobia lowered her face and pouted her lips: "Is it really ugly to walk?" There was no way for her to do it. She had been a snake for so long, and she never used her feet after breaking the space. After walking, it is natural that I am not very good at controlling my legs.Every time she practiced walking secretly, she would think of a certain movie that was dusty in her memory. The white snake and the green snake were learning to walk while chanting "twist, twist"-_-|||.

"Well, no one expects reptiles to be able to use their legs as flexibly as humans," Snape raised his eyebrows, "but since you're going to live in human form, don't always think about being lazy."

"Okay." Zenobia said sullenly, "I will work hard to learn to walk." Instead, she thought of something she had almost forgotten, looked sideways at Snape, and smiled with satisfaction, "The clothes are very It fits." Snape snorted disdainfully.Then, Yin Snake restrained her shyness, and asked casually: "Sir, do you think my outfit is suitable?"

Snape was silent again, did not answer, nor did he sarcastically, but stared at her with an inexplicable look.Seen by him, Zenobia lowered her head slightly in embarrassment, the heat on her face gradually burned to the base of her ears and spread down her neck.

"You value it very much." After a long time, the man's deep voice sounded slowly, "Tomorrow's party?"

Zenobia was a little confused by the man's question, but she still answered honestly: "I don't really care too much. After all, Malfoy is an ancient family, and the first visit should be decent." Well, she didn't think about it at all. this problem.She asked like that before, but she wanted to know what the man thought of her tactfully.

"Don't worry too much," the words paused, Snape coughed lightly, "You're fine."

He spoke softly and in a low voice.Zenobia could hear it clearly, her eyes were bright, and she painted the resolute and harsh lines of the man's face straightforwardly with a hint of eagerness.

"I'm assuming that Miss Hayes' eyes haven't become unusable like your legs." The man seemed to avoid the girl's gaze indifferently, and his mouth pretended to be menacing.

Zenobia raised a sly smile: Hey, she can clearly see that this man's ears are red.Suddenly a bold thought came to her, and she leaned closer to the man's face: "I may have to get up early tomorrow, sir, I'll go back to my room to rest first." Without giving the man time to react, she quickly kissed his face, flustered. Without saying "good night", he hurried up the stairs.

Seeing the girl running away in a hurry, Snape slightly curled the corners of his mouth, his eyes followed the other's back, and his fingers unconsciously touched the place where he was kissed on the face: Maybe he should relax, and don't worry that this girl will Get to know more people, and then slowly integrate into the magic world, no longer need him, rely on him.

She is young, lively, and curious.He shouldn't have trapped her in his own small world, as long as he occupied her heart, he naturally didn't have to worry that she would slowly move away from him.
