Ch.47: Unhappy

Lihen Bookstore was crowded with people.Zenobia looked at the large banner upstairs with a dark face: "Gideroy Lockhart signed the autobiography "I Can Be Magical" for sale." Witnessing the crazy witches coming one after another, she secretly regretted not listening to him. According to Nepe's guidance, he secretly followed the Malfoy family to Knockturn Alley, and finally encountered this strange thing when he accompanied Draco to buy books.Looking at Narcissa's face of infatuation, she was suddenly embarrassed.

Silver Snake, who had forgotten the plot of the "Original Book" at all times, couldn't remember the character Lockhart, and Snape wouldn't bother recalling a fool.

"There are too many people," Zenobia staggered the flow of people, stepped back abruptly, and said to the Malfoy family, "How about we come back later?"

The big and small Malfoy were obviously also shocked by the "grand occasion" in front of them. Draco's face that could not perfectly conceal his emotions was full of tangles, and the big Malfoy also twitched the corner of his mouth when he saw his wife's intoxicated expression: "Zeno Bea's right, I think..."

"Merlin!" Narcissa suddenly burst into praise, "He is so charming beyond belief!"

The other three all shuddered involuntarily, and glanced at the blond man with an idiotic smile in disgust.Little Malfoy couldn't bear it and whispered: "Mom! How charming is that idiot?"

Zenobia nodded in agreement: Even though she couldn't understand Big Malfoy's ostentatious style for a long time, but comparing him with Lockhart, in her opinion, if Malfoy is a gorgeous and proud phoenix, Lockhart was a shaggy rooster with a twitching tail and pride.

Narcissa chanted: "Lockhart has perfect looks, dazzling blond hair, full of talent and self-confidence... Oh, he can make all the witches in the wizarding world crazy!"

Draco blushed from being blocked, and after a while, he stammered, "Nobby just, doesn't like him, right?" He turned his head and looked at the silver snake expectantly.

Zenobia supported him without hesitation, drawing Narcissa's puzzled gaze.

"Oh, Nobby," Mrs. Narcissus said in a tone of hatred, "You really don't understand the charm of men!"

The attitude towards the witch was numb, and Silver Snake replied calmly: "I just need to understand the charm of Mr. Ma." Her words made the Malfoy family choke.

"You, hey..." Narcissa sighed and shook her head, "Severus and Severus really are a perfect match."

While a few people were talking, a large group of people - among them the red hair and the big half-giant was very eye-catching - walked towards here in a mighty way.Zenobia glanced at it casually, thinking that this was a perfect fit: the Weasleys, the Potters, Granger, the half-giants, and the Saviors.

The whole group was chattering, and the focus was around the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. She heard the witches-whether it was the grown-up Molly Weasley and Lily Potter, or the underage Hermione Granger. Jay and Ginny Weasley - both passionately expressed admiration for Lockhart, more than Narcissa, if not less.Glancing at Lily Potter in surprise, Silver Snake immediately felt relieved: It's not a big deal for a woman to be infatuated with an idol.She also admires handsome guys, but she has a soft spot for black hair and black eyes, and only likes restrained and mature men.

In view of the fact that where there is a savior, there is disaster, Zenobia immediately decided to stay away from the place of right and wrong: "Cissy, you go buy a book." Anyway, she wants Lockhart's signature, "Draco and I will go buy a book." Anything else." Little Malfoy nodded knowingly.It's a pity that some people can't read people's faces.As soon as Zenobia turned around, someone called her name.

"Senior Hayes, are you here to buy books too?" Harry Potter tugged at his messy hair, with the stupid smile Snape described blooming on his face.

Draco, who was ignored on the side, pouted contemptuously.On the other hand, Big Malfoy gave the group a haughty sideways glance, oblivious to Weasley's and Potter's apparent dislike.

Zenobia smiled gently at Little Potter and exchanged a few words of greeting.Her conversation with Harry aroused suspicious gazes from old Potter and Black, and Lily Potter also restrained her enthusiasm for Lockhart, watching her with complicated green eyes.Too lazy to guess what these people thought, she bid farewell to Harry Potter and left lightly.

"Nobby, why are you talking to Potter?" Draco complained softly after walking away.

Zenobia shook her head: "Slytherin pays attention to etiquette, even if the other party is a Gryffindor." Harry Potter has a tendon of the Potter family in character, because she gave him a deep first impression, In addition, she rarely conflicts with Gryffindor, and even has Gryffindor friends who treat her very kindly.Of course, Dumbledore's push was indispensable for the cub's closeness. Silver Snake knew in his heart that although he didn't dislike Harry Potter, he only maintained a distant and indifferent relationship.

The two didn't discuss further about Little Potter.Silver Snake saw the soda shop, and excitedly dragged Draco into the shop—they had nothing to buy anyway—although Malfoy was very reluctant.

……

"Hello." A very beautiful female voice sounded hesitantly.

Temporarily separated from Draco, Silver Snake, who was about to go to the potion store to buy ingredients, walked out of the soda shop, turned a corner and ran into Lily Potter.Zenobia hadn't intended to have anything to do with her, but unexpectedly, this witch seemed to be waiting for her specially, and greeted her proactively.

Zenobia put aside her complicated thoughts, and showed a standard smile: "Hello, Mrs. Potter."

Lily Potter hesitated for a while, then quickly figured it out, and asked in a Gryffindor direct way, "Did Sever... Russ come to Diagon Alley today?"

"He's at home." The other party's tone was so natural that Silver Snake was slightly displeased, but his expression remained calm.

"Is he doing well? I mean..." Lily Potter's tone was very concerned, with a slight worry on her face, "Severus is my good friend, but I haven't seen him since we met a year ago To him, to write to him, and he never replied."

'Because sir entrusts me with all his correspondence to be sent and answered. 'The silver snake cursed.Of course she would not make trouble out of no reason, insisting on forcing her lover to cut off all contact with her childhood sweetheart... But Snape cared about her feelings very much, not to mention that as early as ten years ago, he decided to stay away from Lily Potter's life completely, except for Christmas. Apart from returning gifts, he never replied to any letters from the other party.

Zenobia smiled softly, and her eyes were full of tenderness: "Mr. is very good, you know, he is a potion maniac, as long as he has a crucible, he forgets everything." The little woman in love, when facing the man's relatives and friends, is reserved but with a hint of showing off, and deliberately complains to her lover, "I cook three meals a day, and I have to remind him repeatedly before he remembers Have a meal."

The red-haired witch put away her disappointment, and smiled brightly: "Severus has been like this since he was a child, and he doesn't care about anything when he touches potions. I used to always worry that he would not be able to find a girlfriend like this!" The words blurted out , Feeling inappropriate, she quickly changed her mouth, "Seeing that he wants to start a family now, I am really happy... Severus is a very serious person, and you will be very happy with him."

"Yes, we are very happy." Zenobia replied with a faint smile, her eyes turned slightly cold: She couldn't help but think that although Gryffindor was a little careless, it didn't mean that he was stupid, and was praised by many people Was it true that the clever Lily Potter had never noticed Snape's feelings for her?Given that the other party is a good friend in her mouth.

No one stipulated that she had to accept Snape's feelings, and Snape did make inappropriate remarks, but why didn't she squander the feelings of "her good friend"?Leaving aside the emotional rights and wrongs, now that Snape has almost cut off contact with her, what position does she have to say such persuasive words in front of the other's fiancée?

Lily Potter didn't notice Silver Snake's alienation and indifference: "Severus attaches great importance to you." She looked at the pendant on the girl's chest that accidentally slipped out of the skirt, and said with a smile, "Ten years ago, he borrowed I bought a necklace for me, and I wanted to go back later, I deliberately blamed him for being stingy, but now it seems that he just wants to keep the most precious thing for his fiancée!"

"What?" Zenobia asked in surprise.

"It's the necklace you're wearing." The red-haired witch obviously misunderstood something and explained, "At that time, our family was in trouble. He sent the necklace and said it could resist the death curse. I couldn't help it. I accepted it... A few days later, he suddenly asked for the item back, saying that the necklace is very important to him, and asked me to sign a magic pattern contract..."

Zenobia was shocked.At the beginning, when she decided to give Lily Potter her talisman, she struggled in her heart.But she is a pragmatist, and she is very selfish in nature. She doesn't want men to suffer any blows. In the case of short time and insufficient materials, there is no time to specially make new defenses, so she can only reluctantly send out necklaces—even to prevent Lily Potter gave the necklace to someone else, and she directly set the master contract to bind the soul of the other party—it can be said that she regretted it after changing the contract.

After the war, the reason why she didn't mention the necklace again was because she considered the soul-related contract, even if she got back the item, she could only make it an ordinary decoration without any defensive power.The necklace that lost the essential meaning of the talisman would only add to the annoyance when it was brought back.

Never thought about it... Silver Snake was a little dumbfounded, but he couldn't deny being moved.She didn't hear Snape mention that necklace at first, but she gave a similar chain later, thinking that it was really used by Lily Potter, the man felt guilty and didn't know how to speak.Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that the other party found out that the things are completely unusable, so her sullen lover should have put the things away.

Zenobia couldn't wait to go back, there were so many questions she wanted to ask Snape... I really don't know how many things this man has silently done for her.But... what exactly is the magic pattern contract? !She suddenly had a bad guess.

"Thank you for telling me this," Silver Snake thanked perfunctorily, "I didn't even know this necklace was so precious."

"It's okay, I'm a good friend of Severus." Lily Potter smiled, "He has never been good at expressing himself, and sometimes it is easy for others to misunderstand."

Zenobia twitched the corners of her mouth and nodded: "I know his character, don't worry." After finishing speaking, she apologized and left, "Malfoy and the others may have been waiting for a long time, I'll take a step first."

"Hayes." The red-haired witch stopped her, hesitated for a while, and said, as if making up her mind under the puzzled gaze of the silver snake, "Do you... have a good relationship with Malfoy? I mean, Malfoy The Fu family once followed the mysterious person..."

The smile on Silver Snake's face faded: "Malfoy is a friend of my husband and I. Maybe you don't know it, but Mr. Malfoy is also the godfather of little Malfoy."

"How come?" Lily Potter was very surprised, "But Severus has always been on the side of justice. Principal Dumbledore has said many times that he is welcome to join the Order of the Phoenix..."

"Mister is a Slytherin. Does Mrs. Potter really think that the Order of the Phoenix will accept him without any grievances?" Zenobia finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said coldly, "Besides, since Malfoy passed the trial, it means that he Not a Death Eater at all, you don't have to worry about Mr. going astray!"
