The Snake Wife of the HP Professor

Ch.33: Daily life

Snape was sitting behind the desk, staring fiercely at the thesis in front of him, the quill fell on the parchment and vigorously scratched a P, and wrote lines of comments in beautiful cursive fonts, almost catching up with the end of the paper. length. 'idiot! ' He cursed in his heart, but couldn't hold back his anger after all, and dropped his pen heavily on the table.

The man leaned against the back of the chair and sat quietly for a while, and suddenly felt that the cellar was too quiet, and couldn't help thinking of Silver Snake: Since the other party entered school for a year, except for classes during the day, the girl still always stayed in the cellar, doing chores for him. The relationship between people has not become alienated and indifferent with the expansion of the other party's social circle, but has become intimate and ambiguous because of the maintenance of each other's feelings.

Just at this moment, the door of the cellar was opened, Silver Snake walked in with a proud face, with light steps, humming in a low voice.Snape raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms, looked up and down the girl thoughtfully, and snorted coldly through his hooked nose: "Hmm, are you meeting those little trolls again? It seems that you My mentality has shrunk along with my body, I really think I am 12 years old."

"I'm still a child at heart." After arguing with a smile, Zenobia came to the man's side, eagerly massaged his shoulders, and called softly, "Sir..."

The man snorted lightly, and said mockingly, "What kind of bad idea is that little brain of yours running out of capacity planning?" There was obvious pampering in the words.

"It's not a bad idea!" Zenobia said coquettishly, mysteriously, "I saw the patron saint of Mr. Principal today, a very weird firebird. I think this kind of spell is quite strange, sir Can you teach me?"

Snape corrected: "That's a phoenix." He stared at the girl with unpredictable eyes, and after a long while, he continued slowly, "The Patronus Charm is generally used to drive away dementors or communicate with people. , it’s useless for you to learn it, especially when the dementors can’t resist your light magic at all.”

"But it's very interesting." Zenobia said softly, "Besides, I'm also a little curious about my patron saint." Of course, this sentence is an excuse. If there is an accident, her patron saint, who is actually a monster, should have been a snake.However... the patron saint can reflect the deepest feelings in the heart of a person.After seeing the introduction of this spell in the book, she couldn't wait to know what the patron saint of her sweetheart was, and she was a little embarrassed to ask directly, so she wanted to take the opportunity of learning to find out.

There was a strange light in Snape's eyes, and he said in a drawn-out voice, "Since Miss Hayes is so free, I thought, as my apprentice, there are enough potion ingredients waiting for you to deal with in the laboratory." Although it was a word of disapproval, the teasing smile hidden in the words was obvious.

"Sir," Silver Snake stopped what he was doing, and simply lied on the man's shoulder and acted coquettishly, "You can teach me."

The girl's intimacy benefited Snape very much, so he stopped deliberately making things difficult, and he quietly raised the corner of his mouth: "Hmm... I hope your IQ doesn't shrink along with your brain. From this weekend, I will teach Your Patronus Charm."

"Then I will trouble you, sir," Zenobia thanked cheerfully, hesitated for a while, but still couldn't hold back, and asked tentatively in a low voice, "Well... what animal is your patron saint?"

"Are you curious?" Snape asked without answering, with a playful tone.

Zenobia's face became hot, and she murmured: "Yes, yes... I am curious about everything about Mr.." It is not difficult to imagine that Snape's former Patronus might be the same as Lily Potter's; but Silver Snake Not completely dull, the man's special attitude towards her in the past few years has allowed her to basically determine the other's feelings.However... love is always worrying about gains and losses, and the ambiguous state in front of her sometimes makes her eager to confirm each other's minds.But she, who has never been in a relationship, is often at a loss. The inner soul of an oriental woman makes her unconsciously reserved when facing emotions.

Snape looked meaningfully into the girl's shy and timid eyes, and after a while he said something meaningful: "You will know sooner or later."

The blush on her cheeks quickly spread to her neck, and Zenobia stopped asking nonchalantly, feeling uneasy in her heart.

Time passed, and when Zenobia was finally able to summon the Patronus, Halloween came quietly.After Zenobia went to the cellar after class, she hid in her dormitory and got dressed—the book of beauty spells that Eva specially found for her finally came in handy—tonight Hogwarts will hold a For the masquerade ball, Silver Snake, who had never participated in such an event, couldn't help but look forward to it.

The auditorium was specially decorated, swarms of bats swirled on the ceiling, and the candles flickered under the influence of magic as if they would go out in the next moment.The little wizards changed their uniforms that night, and after careful dressing up, some turned into magical creatures, some into various food and fruits, and some dressed up as historical figures.

Zenobia was particularly eye-catching in the group—of course, everyone's outfits tonight were eye-catching.She was wearing a sleeveless cheongsam with blue floral patterns on a white background. She had grown a lot in the past year and a half and was trimmed and slim by the cheongsam; The bun is fixed behind the head with a hairpin, and the hairpin that I always wear is pinned to the ears; a silver pendant hangs from the neck, matching the cheongsam, shining brightly from time to time; on the wrist is a emerald green pendant The jade bracelet on both sides of the earlobe is embellished with a crystal pearl... The beauty charm modified the shape of her eyebrows and the color of her lips, and her nails were faintly a little bit of starlight.

Compared with other little witches, Zenobia's dress was too simple, but it was generous and natural. The beautiful face that everyone was used to, now had a contradictory temperament, pure and charming.After the silver snake stepped into the auditorium with graceful steps, it became the focus of countless eyes in an instant: the little wizards were amazed, or admired, or fascinated; Or secretly hate.

"Zenobia!" The festive atmosphere made the gap between the colleges less obvious. Eva, who has always acted less scrupulously, dragged her friend Sarah to the Slytherin long table after dinner and before the masquerade ball. Before, wandering around the silver snake, eyes full of surprise, tone of admiration, "You are so beautiful tonight!"

Zenobia pursed her lips and smiled, tilting her head slightly: "It's not very strange, is it?" At first, she was afraid that this outfit would be weird in the eyes of Westerners, but after seeing the horror-effect costumes prepared by Eva and the others , also let go of scruples.This cheongsam was caught by her when she secretly went shopping in Chinatown during the summer vacation. She originally wanted to show Snape to wear it, but she never had a good time.

Sarah looked at her solemnly, glanced at the cheongsam that was slit to her thighs, and teased, "Very... sexy."

Eva laughed, leaned her head closer, and asked mysteriously: "Be honest, did you dress like this on purpose for someone?" Without waiting for an answer, she asked, "Who is your dancing partner tonight?"

Not caring about the kid's teasing, Zenobia replied very calmly: "I don't have a partner."

"Aha, I don't believe it." Eva looked at Silver Snake suspiciously, then swept her eyes across the long tables of the four colleges, and speculated, "It probably won't be Weasley, maybe it's Field from Ravenclaw. , or McAdam from Hufflepuff, or Brooke from Slytherin?" These people were the wizards she thought were chasing Zenobia.

Zenobia shook her head helplessly: Children are always acting like this.She looked at the Gryffindor table, smiled and said to Eva: "Your dance partner looks very worried. If you don't go back, I guess he will come to 'save' you." The snakes all know Eva and Sarah are friends with her. Given their family background and her status as the head of the year, no one will target them in the open because of their friendship, but obviously Slytherin will not welcome it. Any Gryffindor.

Although Eva loves to joke, she also knows how to measure. Seeing that Silver Snake really doesn't want to talk about this topic, she tactfully changed the topic: "Okay, then I'll go back there. Anyway, it's rare to have a dance, Zenobia, are you here again?" You are so beautifully dressed, don’t waste it, and have fun.”

Sarah also laughed and joked a few words, the ball started, and she was invited by the wizard of Ravenclaw to dance.

Zenobia rejected the dance invitations of one boy after another, and finally couldn't bear the trouble. After the wizards danced in pairs, she quickly found an unobtrusive corner and sat down, enjoying the atmosphere of the dance while enjoying the atmosphere. Desserts and juices.

Soon, the girl's eyes began to follow Snape unconsciously again: the man is still in pitch black tonight... well, his gloomy appearance doesn't need to be disguised at all, it can scare little wizards vampires, big bats.Zenobia was thinking wildly, and couldn't help secretly laughing.

Snape was keenly aware of the girl's gaze, gave her a hard look, and then quickly looked away.

depressed.Zenobia took a sip of her drink sullenly: She deliberately took advantage of the opportunity of the masquerade party to dress up, hoping to get the man's astonishing gaze, so as to satisfy the woman's vanity... Who knows, the other party has no He glanced at her a few times, and would occasionally "stare" over with those gloomy and cold eyes, as if she had destroyed his most cherished potion of potion.

"Miss Hayes, may I have the honor to dance with you?" It was Brooke, the fourth-year senior of the Snake Academy, who came here.

Zenobia felt like a frog being stared at by a poisonous snake, she trembled suddenly, followed the sight that fell on her, and couldn't help but get embarrassed: Well, it was Snape who stared at her again, The sharp gaze seemed as if she not only destroyed the potion, but also blew up the laboratory.

"...Miss Hayes?"

"Ah, sorry." Zenobia came back to her senses, smiled apologetically at the boy, and made an excuse at random, "I'm not good at dancing." She couldn't help but sigh secretly, maybe she should leave early, the auditorium with so many people , No matter how cold and dark the corner is, it cannot avoid the eyes of others.

Slytherin always knew the current affairs, and Brook didn't get too entangled.After the boy left in disappointment, Zenobia quietly walked towards the guest table.For foodies, this opportunity to beg for candy in a fair manner cannot be missed-well, she admitted, these are all excuses, she just wants to use this opportunity to go to the teacher's long table to ask when Snape will return Cellar: She hasn't heard a man call her beautiful yet!The reactions of the young wizards tonight suggested that her outfit had been a success, so she was eager to know what Snape thought.

During her one-and-a-half-year student life, Zenobia not only had a few little wizard friends, but also got along well with the professors. In her opinion, most of the professors were kind; even Dumbledore, because of the two People's common love for desserts maintains a fairly harmonious relationship on the surface.

Silver Snake successfully obtained candies from each professor, and finally walked up to Snape, and stretched out his hand with a smile: "Trick or treat, give me something good to eat!"

Snape gouged out the girl with his eyes viciously: "Is your brain covered in honey?"

Zenobia had a bitter face, and looked at the obviously irritable man in confusion: What happened to him tonight?Obviously in the afternoon, this person was still in a good mood, and even teased himself on purpose.Yin Snake has a relaxed heart and a good temper, but she is not heartless after all. The man's sarcastic remarks for no reason extinguished her whole night's anticipation, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Snape noticed the girl's emotions, and looked away uncomfortably: "Your snacks, I didn't bring them in the cellar." The silver snake, whose emotions are easily soothed, immediately laughed happily, and was about to speak, but heard The man asked abruptly, "Don't you feel cold with so little clothes on?"
