The Snake Wife of the HP Professor

Ch.03: First Acquaintance

When Snape was about to leave the Forbidden Forest, he discovered something strange: he was so focused on guarding against the snake-tailed girl, and was distracted from picking potions, that he didn't notice the strange situation at that time—the Forbidden Forest was not peaceful at night, and just now it was It was unbelievably quiet...it seemed to be isolated into a separate space.

He couldn't help but think of that girl.Earlier, the girl followed him around the Forbidden Forest with a snake tail, walking freely without legs, as if she was very used to this kind of action... Also, before he left, he confirmed that the "night snack" the girl ate was Hachime spider.

Is she... really human? The double-sided agent was suspicious, and vaguely had a bold guess—the girl was a descendant of the first generation of magical creatures and wizards, and maybe she was a magical creature herself...

While Snape was thinking about what had happened tonight, Zenobia was also analyzing the boy.Although she didn't have much scheming, she didn't trust humans as a matter of course. When Snape left the Forbidden Forest, she also changed back into a snake shape, and quietly followed the boy into the castle in a miniature form.

It turned out that he belonged to Slytherin... Zenobia was a little happy, after all, this academy was marked by a snake.She hadn't really entered the castle before, but now, taking advantage of no one's attention, following the boy's breath, she slipped into the cellar bedroom through the slit of the pipe, and at the same time, she was distracted to admire the famous castle.

The boy's dormitory is the innermost one, with only one bed.The space is not big, but the boy's spell level is obviously very high. The room has been expanded and remodeled a lot, and many warning spells and expulsion spells have been arranged.Zenobia's ability to sneak in quietly also relied on the unfinished rough contract between her and the boy.

The silver snake silently climbed up to the top of the closet, which is hidden but has an excellent viewing angle, and can have a panoramic view of the bedroom and the cubicles inside.At this time, the boy was brewing potion in the compartment.Zenobia stared at him. In fact, she followed him, but she hadn't figured out what to do. Looking at the seriousness of the other party now, the feeling of concentration and piousness touched her inexplicably.

A cold and gloomy person, perhaps rigid and strict, but extremely serious...may not be likable, but he is reliable as a contractor.Zenobia originally thought that the other party would report what happened to her to the professor or the principal, but now it seems that the other party has no such plan for the time being. I have to say that she is very satisfied.Silver Snake was thinking wildly while staring at the young man in a daze. The man's every move when brewing the potion was very interesting to watch.

The next day was the weekend, and Zenobia suddenly woke up from her sleep and realized that she had spent the night in the cellar bedroom without knowing it.The boy was not in the room, and the books that were not put away on the desk indicated that the boy had gone out temporarily.The little silver snake rolled over and lazily nestled for a while before slowly sliding down to the ground, ready to go back to the Forbidden Forest.Suddenly remembered that she didn't know the boy's name yet.

With the thought, she immediately climbed up to the desk, curiously opened the title page of the book, there should be a name.

Half-blood prince.

Zenobia froze.Even with her meager vocabulary, she knew what these words meant, and who they represented: Severus Snape.Now that she has forgotten most of the plot of the story and can't remember the characters clearly, this person's name is impressive.

The double agent who wandered between black and white and walked on the edge of the knife, his whole life was embarrassing and emotional, and finally died under the snake's teeth.I still remember that when I read the story, before the other party could hide his identity, those readers hated this character extremely.Zenobia only remembered how a few friends around her hated him.When the truth was finally revealed, countless people who once hated him were obsessed with his pride, tenacity and infatuation.This is especially true of several of her close friends, one of whom has been using "myseverus" for a long time.

Zenobia naturally had a deep impression on him, but not because of this emotional contrast, but because she was "amazed" by the other party's unique "language art".Her six-year primary school head teacher used words to attack students in a unique way like him.How could she not look at such people differently after years of being described as "brains as dull as granite" and "full of vibes that shattered classroom windows."

After so many years, she has not forgotten this character at all.China pays attention to fate... Zenobia thought, perhaps, there really is such a thing as fate.In any case, after knowing that the boy was Snape, he felt a little relieved for no reason.If she could really make a contract with that person, she would feel a sense of peace of mind.This kind of peace of mind is based on the understanding of the "plot character", but with that person's pride and strength, it is only natural.

However, the double agent was indeed extremely suspicious, and getting a contract was not easy.Fortunately, the darkest period has yet to come. That Snape's green plum, Lilith or Alice, has not died. Silver Snake feels that the other party still needs her help... When the Dark Lord disappears, she and Snape The cause and effect between is also settled.

Only one more thing, Zenobia didn't know the age before Snape was drawn into the rift.Judging from the behavior of that person last night, he didn't look like a teenager... If it was the Potions Professor later, with that person's suspicion and stubbornness, it might be even more difficult to negotiate a contract.Hope it goes well.

Silver Snake restored the book to its original state, and quietly left the dormitory before Snape came back.

From then on, Zenobia would sneak into the cellar bedroom after dinner every day, hide on the wardrobe, and watch Snape while worrying about the contract.

After carefully bottled the potion, Snape walked out of the compartment, and the wand hidden under his robe was ready to go: For more than half a month, he had a feeling of being spied on, but the warning spell did not work at all. Response, he has also carefully inspected, but to no avail. At the age of 16, even though he is not an adult, his soul is nearly forty, and his magic power far exceeds that of many adult wizards.In particular, after experiencing inexplicable rebirth, he could feel that his strength had improved compared to before he died.With his strength, he couldn't find anything hiding in the dark to spy on!I can't help feeling resentful.

During the sensitive period, he never dared to loosen his vigilance, and he could not help but have various suspicions...

Zenobia looked at the young man's greasy hair while trying to recall the original description of this person. It seemed that he was a big greasy bat and had a seemingly insulting nickname.Unable to resist spit out the letter, she clicked her tongue secretly, feeling that the evaluation was very appropriate.

The body of the snake suddenly felt a little itchy... Zenobia moved slightly. Body: Although the human figure has turned into a child inexplicably, fortunately, the main body has not become smaller. There is only the last molt left, and it will be able to completely get rid of the molt in the future Painful.She was immediately happy—a snake groping to grow, because of the fear of the other world, she was eager to integrate the magic power of her parents, which led to the extension of the growth period, otherwise the body would be fully mature at the age of 15.

When Silver Snake was distracted, she missed the subtle changes in the atmosphere of the boy in the same room.When she suddenly felt the rapidly approaching magical fluctuations, Silver Snake turned over vigilantly to avoid the attack, but it was approaching the growth period, and the mimic snake body was not dexterous enough, and she fell off the top of the closet when she was not paying attention.

Snape calmly sensed the source of his line of sight, and tentatively uttered a silent spell when he caught the slightest sound.Seeing the silver snake that suddenly fell from the closet, he quickly uttered two more incantations: "Petrify everything, imprison quickly."

"Well, look at this..." The young man raised his eyebrows, stroked the wand in his hand, looked at the silver snake no bigger than a little finger, his eyes fell on the red stripes around the snake's head, and then waved the wand a few times, The petrified silver snake remained unchanged, "A snake?"

Zenobia was stiff all over, unable to move due to the spell, looking at the gloomy young man looking down at her, she was a little dazed for a while.In fact, she wasn't completely unable to dodge the spell just now, but since Snape found her and she was worrying about how to contact him, she simply didn't dodge.Perhaps, this is an opportunity for a contract.

Snape frowned fiercely, and the spell revealed that there was a snake in front of him—this snake had been hiding in his bedroom and peeping for more than ten days.But he doubted the identity and origin of this snake even more. Is the snake that can completely ignore the warning spell and expulsion spell he cast still an ordinary snake?The silver snake body is very beautiful, and the complicated red lines on the head have a mysterious atmosphere.He had never seen this kind of snake before, so he had a vague sense of familiarity.

"Then, since it's a snake..." He raised the corner of his mouth, "I just need some snake gall venom as a potion."

Zenobia was really froze now, her skin went cold to her heart when she was provoked.Looking at Snape's smirk, even though she knew it was the other party's temptation, she couldn't hold back the obvious malice.

Although she was petrified, fortunately she was originally a mimic, and if she recovered her body, the magic that acted on the mimic would basically be automatically removed.

……All right!She hasn't been a human being for many years, and she is almost used to acting on instinct, and when the thought arises, she has automatically changed back to her original body.

When the silver snake suddenly dropped his hand and bursts of light appeared from the snake's head, Snape took a few steps back vigilantly, pointed his wand firmly at the opponent, and found to his astonishment that the little snake had turned into a giant python with a lingering snake body. Reflecting the chilly cold light, the high snake head swallowed the snake letter, and the cold hissing sound made him tremble involuntarily.It's not that he's timid and afraid, but the memory of being bitten by the devil king snake pet on the neck is still clear that day, and the cold and stern breath of death is something he can't forget for a while.

"Sectu——" Just when he almost couldn't control himself and was about to launch black magic in the school dormitory recklessly, the giant snake in front of him changed again.The faintly entangled light from the snake body rotates rapidly and melts into light spots, which are quickly absorbed by the snake body, and then an oriental girl with a snake tail appears in front of her eyes.

Transforming in front of people for the first time made Zenobia very embarrassed. She waved at Snape in a panic: "Hi, we meet again."

Snape squeezed his wand tightly, pursed his lips, his eyes were as sharp as a knife's on the snake-tailed girl, and he asked indifferently, "Who are you?"

"I don't have any malice." Zenobia spoke poor English, trying to express her thoughts, "I just... want to sign a two-way equality contract with you, um, you have saved my life... "Snape didn't answer, the poor vocabulary made her a little unclear, so she could only explain as straightforwardly as possible, "You have my soul power in you, if you don't sign a contract, it will hinder your practice with me and cause magic disorder. "This sentence is actually exaggerated.

If Snape's soul power is not fused or contracted, it will indeed affect the accuracy of Snape's magic power control. As for Zenobia, her soul is somewhat damaged in the process of traveling through time and space, although she only needs to wait Time repairs itself, but through the equal contract, some of Snape's soul power will return, and she can recover faster.

"Miss Hayes," the address obviously showed that Snape was very impressed with the girl, and he smirked, "what makes you believe that I will make an inexplicable contract with someone of unknown origin? When you broke into my bedroom without my master's invitation and took a peek. What are you talking about... POWER?"

Zenobia opened her mouth, and the other party's words were unpleasant, but she still half understood, but the meaning of the other party's disagreement was obvious, and she guessed that her expression might not be clear enough.Sighing, she felt really embarrassed. If it continues like this, let alone a contract, I'm afraid Snape will list her as an extremely suspicious refusal account... It's not her style to give up halfway.

One does not do two endlessly.Zenobia remembered that there was a magic spell in HP to read people's brains, of course she couldn't let others do this to herself.However, the sacred spell has a sharing ability, so it simply shared the memory of being involved in the space-time rift with the other party.

"What are you doing?" Snape couldn't avoid the entangled light flying from the girl's red lines at all, and quickly cast an armor protection - naturally useless - the scene of Zenobia in the crack It has been intuitively presented in his brain.

"In the crack, you were implicated by me and involved, that's why you came to this era... It's my responsibility." Although she used her own strength to protect the two of them, she lost more strength, but Snape is a person of this time and space, and his soul should be protected by the law. Her involvement with him may have weakened the law's will to eliminate her—then she owed him even more, after all, her strength is not enough to shatter Time and space, even if there is a space artifact, without Snape, it is not impossible for the law to completely eliminate her.

"So..." Snape was silent for a moment, examining the girl, "I'm here because of you?"

I understand this sentence: "Yes."

"You were also in the Enchanted Forest of Warwick last Christmas?"

Zenobia understands "Christmas" and "forest", and probably knows what the other party means: "I just came here at that time."

"I had been back for a month then." Snape frowned.

"Time and space travel, there will be great instability." Zenobia guessed.

Immediately, the boy fell silent.Zenobia was not in a hurry, her previous nervousness disappeared, and she secretly felt that she was too reckless just now... In fact, if Snape really didn't want to make a contract, it wouldn't hurt her too much, even if she wanted to repay the cause and effect, she would You can also choose other methods. Presumably the other party is also facing a lot of pressure at this time.However, she didn't understand why she insisted... Maybe it was influenced by the vague characters in the book, maybe it was her days at Hogwarts that made her faintly want to really blend in here, or maybe, these dozen or so After a day of observation, she was inexplicably touched by the other party.

Even if she was a human being, Zenobia is still a monster. Those who choose a contract often have a certain idea, and the instinct of a monster makes her unable to give up easily.This is a kind of preliminary recognition of the contractor and his strength, which she has not yet understood personally.

"Then what is Miss Hayes' 'mutual contract of equality'?"
